gave his evidence clearly and well, though
his voice shook from time to time with
emotion. which was only natural enough
seeing that the dead man had been SO close
a friend Of his.
After all he had little to tell. He de-
scribed his late visit to FitZjehn Square,
and how he had been at work on a picture
there until such time the lights were 'eX-
tinguished and he was forced to abandon
his task.
you thought nothing of the lights going
out2" the coroner asked. You saw moth
ing suspicious in that?"
well, no." the witness replied You
see it is no unusual occurrence for the
supply of electric light to fail. The thing
so easily happens. AS the house has been
empty for some time 1t occurred to me that
perhaps there was a fault somewhere, or
perhaps the workmen had not quite fin
ished their job.
Quite So" the coroner observed. Tell
us. did you hear any noise in the house or
any suspicious sounds?'
Nothing whatever. Until the light went
out there was nothing whatever to disturb
me- In fact was so intent upon my work

But you know now" the coroner went
on. that the main cable leading to the
meter was cut. That being so, somebody
must have been in the house at the same
time as yourself. What | want to get at is
ths-the murderer was deliberately waiting
for his victim. He had no quarrel with
you, and his great idea was to get you out
of the way. That appears to be obvious.

The American Negro.

Booker T. Washington in Putnams Monthly.
1t Is just as true OF a race as Of an indis
vidual that 1t can, If it will. convert its dis
advantages into opportunities, and make
of the ills 1t suffers a blessing. And this
brings me to the application which l have
in mind. The negro has some disadvantages
In the United States. but he has also some
advantages. So much has been said about
this country. because Of his color and his
previous condition of servitude, that per-
haps 1t will not be out of place to mention
some of the advantages he enjoys.
In writing thus l do not intend to mini
mize In any way the difficulties nor excuse
the injustices which negroes as a race fire.
Quently have to suffer. l intend merely to
point out that in spite of our difficulties, at
a time when the negro is making real prog
ress in this country there is no reason why
either the negro people or their friends
should become discouraged. II my opinion,
1t would be a fatal mistake at this time to
sow doubts and suspicious among the mass
es Of my people, which might lead them to
believe that the majority of American peo-
pie in any part of the country do not mean
to do them justice, or which might teach
them to seek for enemies among those who
are trying to be their friends.
The world has not always dealt justly
with us as "A people. There are frequently
times when the world has taken advantage
of our weakness to impose upon MS unnec-
essary hardships. But II is great thing
for a people to have justice on its side. 1t
is great advantage to people that is
struggling to get on its feet to have its
name Identified with a cause that commends
itself TO the best and WiSest men and
women in the community.

CHAPTER TX.
The Confidential Agent.

All that evening and most of the next day
Walter brooded over his startling discovery.
He said nothing to anybody about It,,
though he had attempted the night pre-
viously to follow up the clue. The attempt
had failed. however, for though Walter had
waited outside the theater, he saw no more
of Mrs. Delahay. And as to the man Waldo,
he eventually went off by himself. There
was nothing for 1t now but to wait and see
what was going to happen.
Meanwhile. public interest in the Fitz-
John Square tragedy had not abated in the
least Everybody was waiting eagerly
enough for the inquest. which was to open
at 4 o'clock on the day following the mys-
FERROUS attack upon Lord Ravenspur. The
latter had come down somewhat late in the
morning, looking but little the worse for his
adventure. 1t was not expected that the
inquest would be more than formally
opened and 1t was generally known that
Lord Ravenspur would be an important
witness
In view of the extraordinary interest
taken in the affair the proceedings had
been moved to a public hall. Long before
the time arranged for opening the inquiry
the hall was packed to it's utmost capacity.
After the police and medical evidence had
been taken, the first witness called was
Lord Ravenspur. HIS fine, picturesque
figure stood out in the strong light. He

of the summe~ missionary conferences Is
mission study. Every delegate is in a

the necessity for such study is expressed
by one of the board secretaries as fol-
lows: Recognizing the extent and degree
of ignorance pervading the Christian

Christianity in Christian lands, no sub

Dissenting from the opinion Of most OF his
fellow countrymen, Prof. John Lester, an
English speaker at a meeting OF the Friends
Educational Association in Philadelphia,
declared that the manners OF boys in the
United States were better than those OF
English lads This he held was due to the
influence of American mothers and woman
teachers in our schools

mothers knee. The English boy generally

POI. What finally became of the ark OF
the covenant?
Answer. No one certainly knows. 1t was
probably taken away or destroyed by Neb-
dras, x:22) One reason for this opinion is
in the fact that 1t was not contained in
the second temple.
292 How came 1t TO pass that Joseph s
youngest brother was called by his father
"a lad" and by Judah "a little one" and
that two of his brothers offered to be re-
sponsible for his safety, when Benjamin
was already the father Of ten sons? Gen.,
xlv:2L) '-
Answer All this was due to the tender
regard which the older children had for
lection of Jacob for the youngest son of
his beloved Rachel. However, for the word
safety in the question, the word security
should be substituted. 1t was the Offering
of life for life, what might occur at any
age.
293. What good exposition Is there Of
the last book in the Bible?
Answer. There is 10 good exposition. 1t
is singular fact that nearly every COM
mentator has assumed that the book re-
fers to events yet distant. Hence at
tempt is made to cover the history Of the
Christian centuries and to run forward to
date beyond our own century, whereas
the book of revelation In six different
places expressly declares that the events
recorded or represented therein are near
at hand It is certain that John was CIV
ing account of what must shortly come to
pass. A work from that standpoint Is
greatly needed.

MARR1AGE-woMAN's WORK?

From an article IN the September
Atlantic on "Why American Mar
riages Fail" by Anna A. Rogers, we
quote the following:
Somewhere before the benedic-
ton of the marriage ceremony might
be well inserted Amiel's beautifully
cadenced words to women facing
their great life-work: Never to tire,
never to grow cold; to be patient,
sympathetic, tender; to look for The
budding flower and the opening
heart; to hope always; like God to
love always-this is duty
Marriage is woman's work in
the world-not mans. From what
ever point it is viewed, physical or
spiritual, as a question of civic poll
ty or a question of individual ethics,
it is her specific share of the world IS
work-frst, last, and always; allotted
to her by laws far stronger than she
is. And the woman who fails to
recognize this and acknowledge it has
the germ of divorce. in her veins at
the outset" +"
The attitude here assumed strikes
us as both false and harmful. Why
should we, like Adam, still lay the
whole burden upon woman? And
why is marriage woman s work any
more than it is man's7 The view
that it is woman S specific work in
the world, her share of the duties of
life, is narrow, and utterly false to
our present day attitude toward
woman.
Every day sees some distinct ad-
vance in the emancipation of wom-
an from the shackles Of a civillza-
tion that is still quite feudal in many
respects. Tt is too laate to advocate
the ancient notion that the sphere Of
woman is to be limited to the house
and to the will and whim of her
"lord" Marriage is just as much
mans work as it is woman IS; and
review Of the records Of the divorce
courts will show, we think, that oul
American marriages fail more often
because Of the neglect Of the man,
rather than Of the woman, to perform

NATURES OWN.
BY Leila Mae Wilson.

Away where the forest was tangled
and diE
He found her one morning in May;
The glances of sunshine that fell
from her eye,
But welcomed and wooed him to
stay.
Just sweet little Gypsy maid was
she,
With heart like the skylark free;
Not a sorrow or care
Ere had found lodging there,
AS her life rippled on to the sea.
Away where the city surged busily
on
He brought her at last to abide;
The lovelight still danced through
lashes of jet
But closer she clung to his side.
Like frightened bit of a child was
she,
Or a sand-plper Gagged by the sea;
And the dear little heart,
Ere it learned its new part,
Sighed again like the winds to be
free.
Then over the hillside, along the
white road
Where once she had ganbled in
play,
He brought her again to the forest
so dim,
But no light in the closed eyes
lay.
And the mocking bird trilled a musi-
cal lay,
And violets bordered the way;
The soft breezes kissed her,
AS if they had missed her,
And wild roses blossomed all day.
