OF Thanksgiving for me-" she thought
drearily, as she sat in her widows
weeds in the square wooden pew.
The long, long prayer was finished.
Patience liked the prayer, for In 1t h

long for her, although a modern
church-goer would be aghast at having
to listen to eve a sermon OF such
a length. The psalms Of rejoicing had
been sung. These had been harder
to bear. The preacher had settled into
his discourse. He had turned his hour

to her to be delivered since John had
persisted under the Indian t~omahawk!
A figure appeared in the doorway.
Such a figure! Gaunt, tattered, Wild
eyed, unkempt. ba%refooted, bleeding
a mere skeleton covered with ragged
shreds of garments. 1t stood in the
doorway q%uivering and motioning
strangely.
Patience! ~Patience!" 1t cried.

said Judge Fletcher, whose ancestor
had been a judge in the days of the
persecution of Anabaptists and
Quakers. The tithing-man stalked
down the aisle to put out the intruder.
Some of the men half rose, but sat
down again when they saw that the
matter was being attended to. 1t was
a dreadful thing in those days to dis
turb a meeting. But John Halcomb's
widow, unmindful of disturbance, start
ed up at the cry and fairly ran down
the aisle.
1T is John! 1t is joint she
cried.
Never had a religious service in
Bethlehem Hill been broken up like
this one. The minister stopped in
the very middle Of his most important
sentence, The dreaded %tithing-man
himself, who bore upon his soul the
awful responsibility of every mar and

But it was not a ghost. 1t was
John Halcomb himself, safe.
The story of the Indian attack on
the village of Wyoming in 177S is q
story of marvellous escapes as we'll as
of torture and massacre. No adven
ture in it seems more marvellous than
that Of John Halcomb which is one Of
the we'll attested stories of his
tory.
With Is other captives, John Hal

When the jury had filed in for at

Istung to the quick by this abrupt and

the judge.

would go entirely around the globe
and then some" for they would cover
a distance of 1888 71-100 miles. or if
they were laid down fiat one on top of

These curious and interesting de

The printing of all these labels
gives employment 10 about SOC people

impossible to say exactly how many
people are employed by one or an
other in the manufacturing all these
labels for the Anheuser-Busch Brew
