travelling on the same train. Miss
Rollwage was on her way to school,
Cupid figured in the introduction,
the counsel of the young lady pa
rents preventing correspondence
until she had finished school IN two
years. The flame grew, however,
and the end of the probation found
them friends and sweethearts, Gull
minating three years later IN one
of the most unique and interesting
weddings in Forrest City.
1t was a twilight wedding. The
church was converted into garden
of magnolias and the famous cling
ing MOSES of the Southern climate
It was historic in design and sug-
gestion, presenting the beauty
and chivalry of the old South, much
of the pride and sentiment OF that
period remaining in the homes OF
Arkansas, and especially in the
house of Mr.. Rollwage. There
were a number of bridesmaids
beautifully gowned and stalwart
young men as ushers. The party
marched to the chancel in the twi-
LIGHT and under the influence OF the
wedding music, the bride appear

ritual of the Episcopal Church, in

profusion and everything blending
in harmony.

The Meeting.

Two very large audiences greet
ed the evangelist, Mr.. Brandt, at
the church and at the opera house
last Sunday. The preachers ad-
dresses are full of sound, con-
vincing logic and spiritual power.
Mr.. Hoggatt, the singer, has very
pleasant voice, and the music is a
feature of the service very much
enjoyed. There have been a num-
Der of additions to the church,
probably fome thirty in all. Serv-
ices continue regularly morning
and evening, the latter at the opera
house at o'clock.

They march around the tables, de-

the work that has been assigned them.
The Poillons, as first essay at hard
labor, were ordered to the big, square
sewing room. There Katherine darned
i socks, Charlotte mended torn sheets
and tattered blue and white striped
dresses.
They sat on rough chairs and
stopped until their backs ached over
their tasks. Through Charlotte's mind
fitted recollections Of the diversified
golf links. Before Katherine's vision
danced the gay invitation Of the spring
shop windows.
BY noon they were faint, but their
delicate stomachs rebelled at the mid.

steak, potatoes, cabbage and thick,

tears dripped into the big tin cup OF
coffee. Charlotte frowned heavily.

During the morning sewing Charlotte
complained that the brass thimbles
might cause blood poisoning. But nc

The little we have used 40 God

piish a blessed ministry when
they cause man to look upward

David said: ~ have been

Gods gifts are only limited by

needy soul. Plenty Of empty

can supply.
Again the empty vessels may
suggest how much God depends
upon the help Of others In doing
his work. The widow must ex-
haust the human ability to help
before God could begin to do
! his part.
II Is only the empty vessel

THE STORY.

TN A certain village in the land OF
l Israel In the time OF Elisha the
prophet there lived a widow and her
two sons upon whom a great trouble
had fallen. She was In debt, and the
next day the creditor was coming to
drag her two sons into bondage be-
cause she was unable to pay him the
money that was due him, for 1t was
law In Israel that the creditor was
entitled to claim the person and the
children Of the debtor.
Only the day before the widow had
been to the house Of the creditor. and,
falling in anguish at his feet, had I'M
plored that he wait yet q little longer
and she would try to pay the debt.
But he. had turned q deaf ear to her
pleading and with brutal bluntness
had told her that on the morrow he
would come to take her boys to be his
bond-servants.
Broken hearted and discouraged she
had returned to the little bare cot
tage. 1t was dear spot to her. for
there she had lived with her husband
and sons for many years. The husband
and father had belonged to the priest.
ly order, and although in the low spir-
itual condition Of the nation he had
had hard work to secure living. still
by careful managing and Subslsting
on the plainest and coarsest Of food,
they had managed te get along. Then
had come the great sorrow into the
home, the death OF the husband and
father, and with their only means Of
support gone they soon found them
selves in sore straits. and gradually
heavy debts had accumulated until
now the creditor was about to take
her sons into bondage to satisfy hia
claims. !,

later there was heard splash.
Its the carbolic acid BATH" whis-
pered a woman who had been an inter-
mittent guest at Blackwelrs Island,
New York's famous hostelry for male
factors.
The first prisoner came out shining
from her bath, and greatly subdued In
manner, and smelling of carbolic acid.
A SILVER ran through the delicate
frame of Katherine Poillon. For the
woman had dropped her gaudy finery
in the bathroom and come forth ar
rayed in the hideous prison garb. She
had seen mattresses covered with pre-
cisely the same material, heavy white
ticking of alternate broad and narrow
blue stripes. Its skirt was short and
scant, reaching to the tops OF the
shoes. The waist was gathered into
the same unwieldy belt Of blue and
white ticking that held the skirt. 1t
was fastened over the bosom with
cheap. fat white buttons. The collar
was turnover. At. sight of the gown
Katherine Poillon bit her lip. When
her eyes travelled down beneath the
hem OF the skirt and fell upon the
shoes, the eyes filed with tears. The
shoes were of prison manufacture. fiat
soled, square-toed, low-heeled. of the
cheapest leather manufactured.

irons voice was softer than the ward
ems had been, but its tone was as de-
termined. Into the bathroom went the
siren. No. 1. An attendant helped her
remove the long baby lamb cloak, the
fashionable broadcloth gown. the big
picture hat of black velvet and plumes.
She disrobed her Of the clinging pink
silk underwear, the chemise trimmed
with real valenciennes lace. the black
silk hose with yellow butterflies nit
ting among violets, embroidered upon
them. All these the attendant rolled

Young Women's Criminal Career.
The young women who have figured
conspicuously and flagrantly in New
York in eviction suits, in damage suits,
in suits for SANDER; who have been
the bane OF hotel keepers, and one
of whom was particularly prickly
thorn in the side of the New York mil
lionaire, w. Gould Brokaw, whom she
sued for breach of promise, and with
whom she settled for $4,000, have
subsidized into the peace that, outward
ly at least, broods over Blackwell's
Island.
Latterly the young women had con-
centrated their energies upon in
genious devices for beating their hotel
bills In the metropolis. The Waldorf
Astoria. the Breslin, the Bristol, have
all complained of the success of that
ingenuity. While practically penni-
less, the-young women had lived in
the most luxurious manner at these
hotels for periods extending into
weeks, and in some Instances months.
When weekly bills we're presented, the
debtors showed positive genius for
evasion. They were not In their
rooms when the bellboy tapped gently
but firmly with one hand. while he
held the weekly reminder in the
other. Though he slipped the bills
under the doors the Poillon sisters
said they never received them. Air.
lily they asked the bookkeeper when
he telephoned their rooms about the
overdue bills. to add them to that for
next week. And the bills for the next
week were accorded the same recep-
ton as the last. ~

But at last ingenuity failed. The last
coup of charging a New York magis-
trate with connivance in their manner
of life was defeated. The fluffy and
furbelowed young women having made
their last face at the presiding Judge,
their final grimace Of derision at their
keepers in the Tombs. departed for
