The examinations of the two Frank
Thomson scholarships, TO which the
sons Of Pennsylvania Railroad en-
ployes only are eligible. have been COM
pleted and the results submitted to
General Manager Atterbury, who is
now awaiting instruction either from
President McCrea, or the Board Of
Directors. to make the award The ex-
aminations were sufficient to permit the
successful ones TO enter any Of the
best technical colleges of the country.
Whether those to whom the awards
are made will have to undergo a sub
sequent examination will depend en-
tirely upon the requirements OF the
institutions which they may select.
In the award everything else being
equal. they will naturally go TO the
two boys receiving the highest aver
ages at the preliminary examinations,
but much will also depend upon their
character and stability. which will be
thoroughly investigated.

the lieutenant forward, Lieut. Brant,
Miss Spencer"
The officer bowed. a slight shadow
of disappointment in his eyes The
lady was unquestionably attractive.
her face animated, her reception most
cordial. yet she was not the maiden of
the dark. fathomless eyes and the
wealth OF auburn hair.
such a pleasure 10 meet you" ex-
claimed Miss Spencer. do you know,
lieutenant, that actually l have never
before had the privilege of meeting
an officer of the army. Your appear
ance supplies the one touch of color
that was lacking TO make the picture
complete. Mr. Moffat has done so
much to make me realize the breadth
OF western experience. and now. l do
so hope you will some time find oppor-
tunity 10 recount to me some of your
army exploits"
The lieutenant smiled. Most glad
ly; yet just now, confess, the music
invites me. and / am sufficiently bold
to request your company upon the
floor"
Miss Spencer sighed regretfully.
Why, really, Lieut.. Brant, l scarcely
see how l possibly can. l have al
ready refused so many this evening,
and now l almost believe | must be
under direct obligation to some one
of those gentlemen. Still" hesitating-
ly. your being total stranger here
must be taken into consideration. Mr..
Moffat, Mr.. Mcneil, Mr.. Mason. surely
you will grant me release this once?'
There was no verbal response TO the
appeal, only an uneasy movement; but
her period Of waiting was extremely
brief.
"Oh, / knew you would; you have
all been so kind and considerate. .
She arose, resting her daintily gloyed
hand upon Brants blue sleeve, her
pleased eyes smiling up confidingly
into his. Then with a charming smile,
oh, Mr. Wynkoop, have decided to
claim your escort to supper. You do
not care?"
Wynkoop bowed, his face like a
poppy.
Il thought you would not mind oblig-
ing me in this. Come, lieutenant"
Miss Spencer, when she desired to
be, was a most vivacious companion,
/ and always an excellent dancer. Brant
+ easily succumbed to her sway, and be-
came, for the time being, a victim to
her charms. To Brant the experience
] brought back fond memories of his
last cadet ball at the Point, and he
/ hesitated to break the mystic spell
| with abrupt questioning Curiosity
however, finally mastered his reti-
cence
Miss Spencer" he asked, may
inquire If you possess such a phenome

"a Miss Phoebe Spencer; she has
but lately arrived from the east to
take charge of our new school-a most
interesting and charming young WON
an. and she is proving of great assist
ance to me in church work"
The lieutenant cleared his throat
and emitted a sigh of suddenly awak-
ened memory. i fear | can offer you
no advice, for If. as l begin to suspect,
though she sought most bravely to
avoid the issue and dispatch me upon
a false trail,-she prove to be that
same fascinating young person l met
this morning, my entire sympathies
are with the gentlemen concerned.
might even be strongly tempted to do
likewise at her solicitation"
You? Why you arrived only this
morning. and do you mean to say you
have met already? ?"
Il at least suspect as much, for
there can scarcely exist two in this
town who will fill the description. My
memory holds the vision of a fair
young face, vivacious, ever changing

piquant and innocent; perfect wealth
of hair, pair of serious eyes hiding
mysteries within their depths, and lips
which seem made to kiss. Tell me, is
not this a fairly drawn portrait of
your Miss Spencer"
The minister gripped his hands ner-
vously together. Your description is
not unjust; indeed, it is quite accurate
from mere outer point of view, yet
beneath her vivacious manner | have
found her thoughtful, and possessed of
deep spiritual yearnings. In the east
she was a communicate of the Episco-
pal church."
Brant did not answer him at once.
He was studying the minister's down
cast face; but when the latter finally
turned to depart, he inquired, do you
expect to attend the reception to-mor-
row EVENING""
Wynkoop stammered slightly. Il
could hardly refuse under the circum-
stances; the committee sent me an
especially urgent invitation, and un-
derstand there is to be no dancing un-
til late. One cannot be too straight
laced out here"

the saloon boarded up. Incidentally,
Mr.. Moffat took occasion TO announce
that If any snoozer got drunk and
came up them stairs" he would be
thrown bodily out of a window. Mr..
Mcneil. who was observing the pre-
liminary proceedings with deep inter
est from a pile OF lumber opposite,
sarcastically intimated that under such
circumstances the attendance of club
members would be necessarily limited
Mr.. Moffat's reply it is manifestly i'm
possible to quote literally. Mrs. Cuff
f. was employed to provide the requi-
site refreshments in the palatial din
ing-hall of the hotel, while Buck Ma
son, the vigilant town marshal, popu-
larly supposed to know intimately the
face of every ''rounder" in the terri
tory, agreed to collect the cards of in
vitation at the door, and bar out OBJ
noxious visitors.
The invited guests arrived from the
sparsely settled regions round about
not few riding for a hundred miles
over the hard trails. The majority
came early, arrayed in whatsoever APP
parel their limited wardrobes could
supply. but ready for any wild frolic
The men outnumbered the gentler sex
five to one, but every feminine repre-
sentative within a radius of about so
miles, whose responsibility could pos
sibly pass muster before the investiga-
tions of a not too critical invitation
committee, was present.
Lieut.. Brant was somewhat delayed
in reaching the scene. Certain mill
tary requirements were largely re-
sponsible for this delay, and he had
patiently wrestled with an unsatisfac-
tory toilet, mentally excoriating a
service which would not permit the
transportation of dress uniforms while
on scouting detail
The dance was already in full swing
when he finally pushed his way
through the idle loungers gathered
about the door, and gained entrance to
the hall. Many glanced curiously at
him, attracted by the glitter of his uni
form, but he recognized none among
them. and therefore passed steadily
toward the musicians stand, where
there appeared to be a few unoccu-
pied chairs
The scene was one OF color and &C
ton. He watched the speeding fig
ures, striving to distinguish the par
ticHlar one whose charms had lured
him thither. But among them all he
was unable to distinguish the wood
nymph whose girlish frankness and
grace had left so deep an impression
on his memory. Yet surely she must
be present, for, to his understanding,
this whole gay festival was in her
honor. Directly across the room he
caught sight of Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop
conversing with lady of somewhat
| rounded charms. and picked his way
in their direction.
The missionary, who, in truth, had
been hiding an agonized heart behind
a smiling face. was only too delighted
at any excuse which would enable him
to approach Miss Spencer. and press
aside those cavaliers who were mo-

CHAPTER XIV.
In Honor of Miss Spencer.

Mr.. Jack Moffat, president of the
Bachelor Miners Pleasure club, had
embraced the idea of a reception for
Miss Spencer with unbounded enthu-
siasm. Indeed, the earliest conception
OF such an event found birth within
his fertile brain, and from the first he
determined upon making it the most
notable social function ever known in
that portion of the territory.
The large space above the Occi-
the obstructing subdivisions knocked
away. an entrance constructed with an
outside stairway leading up from a va
cant lot, and the passage connecting

no reason why you need hesitate to at
tend. l merely wondered If you could
procure me an invitation"
did she tell you about it?'
well, she delicately limited at it,
and, you know, things are pretty slow
here in social way. She merely sug-
gested that I might possibly meet her
again there"
"Of course; it is given in her
honor"
so I understood. although she
sought to deceive me into the belief
that she was not the lady. We met
purely by accident, you understand.
and l am DESTROYS of a more formal
presentation"
The minister drew in his breath
sharply, but the clasp of his extended
hand was not devoid of warmth Il

at the camp. The committee will be
very glad of your presence; only l
warn you frankly regarding the lady,
that competition will be strong"
ooh. so far as that is concerned l
have not yet entered the running, "
laughed Brant. in affected careless
ness, although 1 must confess my
sporting proclivities are somewhat
aroused"
He watched the minister walking
rapidly away, short, erect figure, ap-
pearing slender in his severely cut
black cloth. Poor little chap" he
muttered, regretfully. He's hard hit

The two, thus introduced, bowed and
exchanged a few words. while Mr..

tense at searching out the lady guest

through the ring of admirers.

Wynkoop blushed and forgot the
errand which had brought him there.
but she remained sufficiently cool and
observant. She touched him gently
with her hand.
Who is that fine-looking young off,

out venturing to remove her glance
from his face.
Nj. Wynkoop started. "Oh, exactly;

requested an introduction" He drew

very successful Mexican missionary,
the Rev Manuel Madrid, as modera.
tor of the meeting. The Rev. John r.

synodical missionary for the ensuing

work accomplished and remaining to
be accomplished over the field in the

The pornlation Of the two territories
is growing so fast that although over

church cannot keep pace with the de.
mand which continually comes for
the help Of the church at large in
building up the interests Of the local
work. -Four workers at large are now
in the field and more soon will come

not being yet filled. Many of the
churches organized but a few years

tenance of sanatarium. An overture
was sent by the church at El Paso.

PRESBYTERIAN
SYNOD CLOSES
Most Successful Meeting in History
of Church Ends at Las Cruces
Plans For Future.

Las Cruces, Sept. 25.--The annual
synod of the Presbyterian church OF
New Mexico which closed its sessions
here yesterday proved the most large
" attended and interesting OF an!
meeting in the history of the synod
Many important items of business
were transacted, and the ministers
left feeling that although the meeting
represented very considerable out
Law of expense in time and money, yet
sufficient had been accomplished
to more than repay the outlay.
Steps were taken at the meeting
and committees appointed to arrange
for the starting Of college in New
Mexico or Arizona, the most remark
able phase of the proposition being
that while the college is to be Chris
tian, the sentiments seemed to be
that efforts should be made to ask
other denominations to come into the
plan and make it a great inter-denom
national educational institution
which while teaching in it's curricu
lum the basic truths of Christianity
would leave out the teaching of de.
nominational creeds and doctrines.
Arrangements were also made tC
inquire into the practicability of start
ing sanatarium for the sick; a sana
tarium which would have for its main
purpose the giving of a home
and treatment to the many
tuberculosis patients who come
annually to the territory and
or either neglected or have
hard work getting the shelter of a
home or lodging in a hotel. The OBJ
ject of the institution would be char
table wholly.
The sessions of the synod were en-
Enthusiastically attended by the people
of this city and many notables of the
church were present from the terri.
tory and from other states. Amongst
those who attended were Rev. C. E
