May s. and will continue It's work un.
til some time in the first week in
June. This church is the largest of
the Protestant denominations in this
country. with membership of $780,
OOo of the laity, about 10000 ministers

sent this vast host about $50 delegates

80 OF elect women" for since the year
lSOO women may be sent as delegates

that there are 100000 members in the
~ Afro-American conferences in the
south, besides missions in Africa on
the east and west coasts, and in
Rhodesia, where Bishop J. c. Hartzell
and his colored associate, Bishop

In q second the old man will be dead
under their knives and the brave girl
their prey. Marina's undaunted eyes,
turning in appeal to the American, see
with establishment that he makes no
move to aid her, but is abjectly squirm-
ing toward the cabin door. Suddenly
she utters gasp Of despair and sigh
Of contempt; this great pistol shot is
running timidly away, flying out Of the
cabin, though as he passes the pile Of

two revolvers.

We'll knife him in a minute!" yells
Romano, and the two, cooking their
guns, fly after the bastard American.
But as they reach the door, the mo-
ment their athletic forms are outlined
by the blaze of the fire, two quick,
sharp pistol reports come from the
outside, and Rochini and Romano,
without even q cry, fall to the earth,
inert and dead.

A moment later he says: Comet"
and taking Marina carefully in his
arms, whispers: Turn your face from
them." and steps over the dead men
lying in the entrance of the cabin.
Behind him, Tomasso, following, car.
rying the Americans rifle, is saying:
"Oh, you will be worshiped in this
commune for this. So many poor men
have been butchered, so many poor
women have been carried away to the
mountains by these dead devils.''
But the reports have drawn others
to the spot. AS Barnes steps over the
dead men lying in the entrance of the
cabin, he suddenly says: "By heaven
here are more of them!" puts Marina
down and would draw his revolvers
were he not seized by three athletic
young fellows who rise silently from
the shadows about them.

Troubles Penguin Would Have II He
Let Things Disturb Him.

If I were not naturally a person of
profoundly tranquil temperament"
said Mr.. Penguin, there are some
things that would disturb me enor-
mously, and one Of these is the per-
versity of some people in their manner
of writing and answering letters. For
instance:
about some matter in which we are
mutually interested man writes me
letter in which some vital PROPOSE
ton is set forth vaguely; he under.
stands about it or thinks he does, and
the proposition, as he sets it forth,
seems all right to him. because as he
writes he mixes in along the knowl-
edge he has in his mind but which
he does not put down on paper.
But when that comes to me don't
understand it because I don't know
what he was thinking about besides
what he actually wrote, and 80 I write
to him:

look hurriedly up. Marina has retreat

Just across the fire from him stand
two dark mountaineers. Rough, un-

other slighter, but his brown limbs

occupation about century ago when
English mole-catchers were introduced
on the lands of the then duke of Buc.

Nor had he ever seen a piebald VI.

alton of color in moles ran In certain
families.
The regularity with which q partIcu.
lar variety occurred repeatedly in the
same field or on the same farm was
well known to every molecatcher.
while no abnormal coloration would
perhaps occur in airy other part Of
the parish.

the execution of these ruffians we were
pursuing, who have brought discredit
on the honored name of bandit"
And Tomasso is crying, Antonio
Bonelli," to man of noble bearing,
who, carbine in hand, comes into the
cabin followed by eight stalwart young
men, all armed as he is.
But the young men fear the super.
natural and stand back, their eyes
cleaning, and one shudders: "'Tis
the ghost Of old Monaldi, killed by De
Belloc's troopers two weeks ago." For
moment they would retreat, but their
leader laughs at them: otis flesh
and blood that is kissing my hand"
And old Tomasso says: you know
how we'll the troopers shoot. Do you
think they'd hit man at 200 yards
hiding behind a rock in the gloom of
the morning."
But the flashing eyed man orders:
"Stand back, while I question this
stranger who has done Bocognano q
service tonight"
Marina has risen, murmuring: An.
tonic BOnelli!"
Gran Dio! Mademoiselle Paoli,"
says the man, and CALAMITY sinks upon
his knee and kisses devotedly the fair
hand the girl extends to him. After
a moment he continues most emphati-
cally: 1T was with sorrow that Cor.
sica heard that you had forgotten the
oath of the vendetta in the arms Of
the English officer who killed your

lapsed and no pay yet. How long can
