Valuable Relic in the Possession Of
Resident of Vermont.

DIR. E. D. Ellis of Poultney has one
of the most interesting revolutionary
relics to be found in Vermont, an
army chest used by Gen. George
Washington while in command of the
continental forces.
The entire chest is of wrought iron
and its lock is so artfully concealed
that none but the initiated can find it.
The chest has seen stirring times, in
peace as we'll as in war, having once
been thrown from a third-story win,
dow to save it from destruction by
fire. The fall did not even start a
rivet, but some historical mugs which
it contained were shattered.
The chest was at Valley Forge,
Princeton, Cambridge and other
places during the revolution, and in
addition to carrying the money was
used to store silverware and the mugs
from which the weary officers OF
Washington's staff drank to revive
their dropping spirits. After the bat
tie of White Plains Gen. Washington
gave the chest to Beverley Robinson
It whose house he made his head
quarters.

the Beirut college register, was nine

1t was no easy thing to get
free scholarships in the Christian col
teges at Beirut. There had been strong
competition, for the desk paid for by
the Brick Church Society of Boston,
Dlkrans task had been cut out for
him. He knew there would be many
rivals.
OF these many rivals, Alexander Tlr-
Ean, so it happened, was one. Alexan-
der Tirzan was another youngster, and
one of Dikran's neighbors, living a
mile or so nearer to Beirut. Tirzan
at this time was an even twenty years
Of age; he was bulky in body, with
shrewd, deep-set eyes and heavy, over
hanging brow.
1T is good, this Christian college"
Tirzan had informed himself, 1T is
good to be Christian. For do not the
Christian merchants prosper"
When Dikran learned that Alexan-
der Tirzan was against him in the
race, he had sighed. Il am sorry for
myself, Alexander" he had said, "how
can win with you against me?'
The next day after that Dikran, by
virtue of his examination at the Beirut
school, had been selected to fill the
Brick Church scholarship. Alexander
Tirzan had been tenth in line.
1T is trickery," Tirzan had shouted,
"favoritism.'

beautiful in the eyes of John Baptist
Dikran. Dikran was not alone in this
belief.

said, perhaps when my bankrupt
father shall have died, l shall marry
Anna Saratov, and she shall come
and live in my housewife knows?
Hers is a good family, too-the
saratovs. Though it is true they are
Mussulmen. Some day, no doubt, they
will be Christians
Dikran sighed. "She is a Mussul-
man." he repeated to himself, after
Alexander, "a Mussulman."
Syria had lived for years in un-
oVentful peace. She was still, at the
commencement of the twentieth cen
fury, at peace with all the world. But
elsewhere, things had happened. For
ten long years the god of unrest had
Rtalked forth many lands-for ten
long years the Kingdoms of the earth
had suffered in wholesale manner
from battle, murder. sudden death.
Syria unconsciously awaited her turn.
It came-like a thunderbolt out of a
clear sky.
Over in the Saratov home one day
John Baptist Dikran stood and looked
down upon Anna Saratov, as she stood
before him.
"Have you thought about it, Anna
6aratov?" he asked.
Anna Saratov, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, came to him
and olasped her arms about his neck
"Whithersoever thou goest," said
Anna Saratov, II shall go; where thou
lodgest, l will lodge. Thy people shall
be my people"
She stopped for an instant. "And
thy God my Cod"
John Baptist Dikran crushed her Il

He had won. He had we'll begun the
performance of his duty; so far hi
had fulfilled his trust; he had Tough
a good fight; he had kept the faith.
