old, and his head was thrown back as
if he were buckled up for the fray and
wanted all to know it. Yet there was
something in the eye, in the setness of
the jaw, in the hair-trigger calm, yet
iercely savage grip in which he closed
his strong hands on the arms OF his
chair, that told me more plainly than
words that this was not the optimistic,
soft-hearted Bob BROMLEY I had
known and loved. I could not help
feeling that if I had been leader of
the Russian terrorists, and this man
who now sat before me had come to
my ken when I was selecting bomb
throwers, I should have seized upon
him of all men as the ore to stalk the
car or his marked minions Surely
the iron that had entered Bobs soul a
week before had affected his whole be-
ing I think Beulah Sands had some
such thoughts. For I saw a shadow
Of perplexity cross her broad, low fore
head after her first meeting with him.
a shadow that had not been there
before
For days after Bob's return I saw
little of him. I think Beulah Sands
saw less. During stock exchange hours
he spent most of his time ON the floor,
but he executed few of our orders. He
merely looked them over and handed
them out to his assistants. AS far as
I could learn, he spent much of his
time there yesterdaying through
hopes graveyards, a not uncommon
pastime for active exchange members
whose first through specials have been

man. So strong had become this habit
of going about from pole to pole with
bent head and a far-on gaze that his
fellow members began to humor and
respect it. They all knew that Bob
had gone up against the Sugar panic

ST. CAUDENS' COINS NOT
CONVENIENT FOR HANDLING

the St. Gaudens coins would topple
over.
1t was St. Gaudens' idea which
found especial favor with President
Roosevelt, to return to the classical
style of coinage. Ancient coins are
mostly remarkable for strange pro-
jections Of the sculptured form But
in the ancient world banking and the
handling Of immense sums of money
in the manner Of to-day were IN
known
The designs made by ST. Gaudens
have been pronounced extremely beau
tiful. The American Eumismatic So
ciety has urgently advocated a more
artistic scheme of coinage than that
which has been in use in the United
States for half a century or more.
st. Gaudens, under the provisions Of
the act Of congress authorizing the
new coinage, returned the chief gen.
eral characteristics of the old pieces,
but gave them in addition an artistic
realization.

As for Beulah Sands, there was but
one change noticeable in her. When

office she looked up from her work
with an expectant, almost appealing
gaze, as though she were always wait
ing for some one. I had not seen Bob
in her office since that disastrous
Sugar day, and as he went directly to
the exchange every morning and left
there every afternoon without return
ing to the office, doing all his business
by messenger or over the wire, there
was but little chance of his meeting
her.
November 1st had come and gone,
and the books showed no change in
Beulah Sands account. There was
the poor little $4,000 balance; no

Rev. Haskell Smith. author of
PatrolIers of Palestine, . says that
it is: No sooner has one plunged
into the. water than one is whipped
off ones feet and goes bobbing
helplessly, about like a wretched
cork. In the effort to resign ones
footing and to get back to shore
ones feet and shins are barked by
the jagged stones and pebbles, and
when at length one does emerge
from its treacherous bosom, with
the lower limbs bleeding and torn,
one becomes aware of a. horrible
tingling and burning sensation in
eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth and al
most every pore of the skin, from
the brine and bitumen which have
penetrated everywhere. Unless
great care is taken the bather in
the Dead Sea is liable to an erup-
ton, which breaks out all over his
body, and which is commonly
known as the Dead Sea rash.
The best antidote to this is to
hurry across as quickly as possible
to the River Jordan and to take a
second plunge therein. The soft
and muddy waters of that sacred
but dirty stream will effectually
remove the salt that has incrusted
the body"

TO Gen. Kuroki todays pilgrimage

Accompanied by Gen. and Mrs. F.

As the party entered the tomb all
removed their hats and Gen. Kuroki
advanced towards the sarcophagls.
when about Is feet away he bowed
and then as he proceeded step by step
ne continued to bow low. When he
reached the bier he stopped and an
aide descended the several steps

looking to a union with the parent
church. The announcement was re-
ceiyed with prolonged applause.
Developments in the temperance con-
troyersy aroused by the antagonism of
the Anti-Saloon League to the Inter-
Church Temperance Federation came
rapidly. The standing committee on
temperance referred all the overtures
affecting the attitude of the church to-
ward the league to the committee on
poity, which decided to recommend
that no minister of the Presbyterian
church, as such, could be an officer or
member of the Anti-Saloon League;
that they could participate in the work
of that organization only as individuals.
