Largest Candle in the World Said to
Be in a Massachusetts, Church,

Be in a Massachusetts, Church.
The biggest candle in the world,
nearly a foot in circumference, has
a wick like that OF the Oriental torch,
has been burning off and on at st.
Georges church at masses for a peri
cd Of five years and Is still more than
five feet tall, says the Worcester Tele-
gram.
According to Eli Koury of SO Wall
street, the mammoth candle was pre-
scented to the parish more than five
years ago by Mrs. Simon George. He
says that Mrs. George presented the
bundle of expensive tallow to the
church after she had recovered from
a severe sickness. She felt grateful
for her convalescence and decided to
show her appreciation to her Maker
by donating the finest tallow torch In
the world. Mrs. George Is tall wo-
man, and Koury says that she decided
to make the candle as tall as she was,
which Is close to six feet. The cost OF
manufacturing the candle was s25, and
it Is still thing Of art and beauty.
Koury went in back Of the altar OF
st. Georges church and proudly ex-
hibited it to a reporter. The candle is
so big that it looks like portion of a
trunk Of a good-sized tree. It's round
ed surface Is covered with designs in
gold leaf and silver work.
II Is the pride Of ST. Georges church
and the parish estimate that It will
last for at least twenty years at spe-
cial masses and religious ceremonies.

CHAPTER VI.

II was a week later that Billery's
visit to Agar row when 1t occurred to
him to call upon Alexis Brangwyn,
who occupied a large and luxurious
fiat in one of those residential man
sions which have of late years sprung
up In such numbers in the Western
district of London. There was as yet
no news of the man who was being
sought by the French police. With
his advent-if ever he should be dis
covered-Billery hoped to strengthen
his case so far as to justify the arrest
of the man to whom his suspicious so
strongly pointed.
There was only one conjunction in
his mind, and that related to his old
friend Alexis, whom he had always re-
garded with sincere affection. Alexis
would feel this exposure keenly.
Should his cousins guilt be brought
home, as Billery was sure it would be,
the disgrace and shame which would
result from 1t could not be less tragic.
1t looked like q cruel thing to darken
that sunny heart. and many and many
a time In the silent watches of the
night, when Billery lay awake in the
strange excitement of his man-hunt,
piecing all his bits of evidence and
conjecture together until they seemed
to make an actual picture of the
crime, he had felt chill to think that
he was preparing to inflict so indeli-
BILE a stigma on the name Of one of
the dearest of his friends. He liked

Alexis. who was the friend of all men,
whose purse was always open at the
call of distress, and whose hospitable
mahogany had so often sheltered
Billery's own legs in the days when
he had first fallen from fortune.
II was impossible to arrest the
wheels he had set in motion, and 1t
was not to be thought of that the
criminal should be suffered to escape,
but Billery had many and bitter heart
searchings on the question. Why he
was going to see Alexis was by no
no means clear to him. He had some
half-formed hazy notion OF preparing
him for the blow which before long
would fall upon him, but he asked him.

The One Who
Loved a Soldier

They bundled him into the hospital
tent, a mile to the rear OF the advance
line, where he fell. The field surgeon
who was very busy that day, hastily
bandaged the young officers face and
forehead before turning his patient over
to the native attendant. Watch him
carefully, Noto," he said, as the Tagal
took his master in his arms, "he Is de-
lirious-er-he is out of his mind
Watch him carefully"
The doctor turned TO attend another
case, and the Filipino held his mas
ter gently but firmly down upon the
cot
The soldier murmured to himself
as he slept, and seemed troubled and
uneasy in his mind, so that the serv-
ant listened curiously to learn his
masters need.
All, he talks of a woman" the ma
tive said, wonderingly TO himself, land
of one woman, as is the manner OF
these men. Can a woman of yours
come TO this place, my master? Lie
still: she cannot" But the wounded
man smiled slightly and seemed quite
content as he treasured himself again:
She will come. She has promised
and I need her now. She will come. u
He knew that she had come as soon

place which neither jolted nor rolled

him, as ne had known all along that
she would do.
Victor, dear" she said. Victor, you
know me? o, you must know me?'
He tried very hard to comprehend,
but he could not. Yet he smiled con-
tentedly and pressed her hand. "She
has come 10 me. She is here" he re-
peateG; and then, as his mind wan
dereG: Victor? She talks of Victor.
Who IS he?"
The surgeon, who, accompanied by
the girl, had come from the east to
perform the operation in that San
Francisco hospital, bent over his pa
tient; but as the sick man murmured
on incoherently, the specialist turned
to the girl beside him.
The organic trouble is relieved,
think" he said, and his tone was pro-
fessionally even. That is, l have done

"Ah!" said Billery; Il suppose So"

Fugitive Bank President Stenslan6
Captured in Morocco.

Pending Warrants Arrival.

Tangie~ 'jorocco, Sept. Paul o.
Stenslan, resident and manager of
the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, of
Chicago, who has been fugitive
from justice since the collapse OF the
institution, was captured and arrested
in this city Monday and is being held
pending the arrival of the necessary
papers for his removal to the United
States.
The arrest was due TO Assistant
States Attorney Harry Olsen of Chi
cago. A telegram addressed to Stems
land by his son announcing an import
ant remittance, and which was adj
dressed to Gibraltar or Tangier, put
ting Justice on the track.
Olsen, who was in Paris on a vaca-
ton, was at once instructed TO follow
uD the clue and arrest the fugitive.
On his arrival at Tangier he was con
vinced that he was on the right track,
as Stensland had presented himself
at several banks and tried to get let
teIs of credit for large sums. He had
actually effected a deposit of $4,000
IN the Compton D'Escompte. 1t is a
strange coincidence that the fugitive
had assumed the name of Olsen and
~ fitting by this act the attorney pre-
scented himself at Stenslands hotel,
representing himself as his son, and
learned that the latter had just left
for Gibraltar. Olsen was just in time
tu catch the boat.
Reaching Gibraltar he found that
Stensland had just started back to
'Tanger on board the German steam
er luxembourg. Olsen Immediately
cha rtered a steamer and by putting on
full steam arrived at Tangier before
the luxembourg, which he boarded on
lis arrival at $3.50 o'clock Monday
morning. He recognized the fugitive
and logged his steps until $50, when
Stensland went to the British postof-
fice and requested that all mail adj
d., ssed TO the name OF Olsen be for
varded to Mogador. AS he was sign
Ing the request form Olsen interposed,
s2ying:

struck, and after vainly protesting for
some moments allowed himself to be
conducted to the American legation,
where he is closely guarded awaiting
tire arrival OF a warrant, which has
