A WOMAN'S
WAY.
BY Gertrude Jamss.


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Observation-Disclosures
The Jim Grow mine had been shut
down for repairs, and Its engineer,
Frank Burton, was free to take va
cation His sister, Olive, had come on
from New York to join him in the out
ing, and young Taylor and Williams
were to make up the quartet for a
mountain camp.
When supper had been eaten one
night at Andy's stage house, halfway
on the journey to the site selected, and
while the night grew blacker and the
rain fell steadily, all sat In the room
which was Office, bar and smoking
room combined.
BY and by the girl was asked to
sing There were the grim mountains
shutting them in. There were the black
uight and the falling rain There was
the feeling, at least on her part, that
she was shut out from the world
These things sobered her. She felt the
awe of them, and after bit she softly
sang:
Nearer, my God. to thee, nearer to thee.
E. en- though it be a cross that raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be.
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer. my God, to thee;
Nearer to thee"
No one sang with her. The hymn
was a surprise to all, even to herself
The last words were dying away when
from the veranda In front and through
the open door and window came the
second verse, in a rich, deep voice, Of
that hymn which has made more wom-
en- weep and more men reflect than
any other written by human hand.
Every one looked up, but no one
moved hand or foot.
When the singer had finished, they
heard a light step on the veranda, the
creak of a saddle, and there was no
longer any one outside. There were
only the darkness and the pouring
rain.
my poor house is honored tonight"
said the landlord, with laugh. First,

Quarter.

The term quarter" used In war
fare, originated from an agreement
anciently made between the Dutch
and Spaniards, that the ransom of q
soldier taken in action should be a
quarter of his pay. Probably 1t meant
to grant conditions" In this sense
the expression was commonly used at
one time Asa modern warlike term,
to give quarter means that the prison
ers of war should be sent to the rear
of the army and there lodged and fed
by the captors until exchanged or re-
leased on the termination of HOSTILE
ties.

''No. You shall go up there, and l
will see that you are made comforta-
BILE. The colored man shall bring you
everything needful. Go at once be-
fore some one comes. Please go!'
The man smiled and bowed and took
his way up the hillside. and Moses;
coming up just then with supply of
fuel, was told of the strangers pres
ence and pledged to aid and secrecy.
A flask of brandy was filed, bedding
and food flung together, and these
things he carried up to the cave.
An hour later a sheriff's posse ar
rived. but they made no discoveries.
The man they had been trailing for
three days seemed to have vanished off
the face of the earth.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, all
the men being away again, the girl
climbed the hillside, and, sitting down
beside the bowlder with her back to
the cave. she said to the man inside,
who gave her greeting and protested
his gratitude:
"You must have had home-father,
mother, brothers and sisters perhaps|
And then he told her his story-told
it to human being for the first time.
1t was the old, old story-pranks at
college, a stern father, an obstinate
son, harsh words, the going away from
home with a heart full of bitterness.
"And, now. when you are betterT
she asked as his story was finished.
"Pve been thinking. l shall do no
more of it. l may go back and take
my place In the world again. have
not taken human life and am not be-

"God grant that you go backr' she
fervently exclaimed. Il think there
are spies around the camp. and dare
not come to you again. If you go at
night when all is quiet, give me
sign, sign that you are going back to
those who must still care for you-to
honesty, honor and responsibility.
He promised. At midnight five nights
later a terrible storm swept the noun
tains and the valleys again. There
was no sleep for any one in the camp
until the storm passed away and the
stars shone again.
The last lingering raindrops were
falling upon her tent when sound
caused the girl to rise from her couch
and part the flaps of her tent and look
out. From up the hillside, where its
clothing of frs still glistened with the
wet, came the words of the refrain:
"Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer to thee"
"What is it, OllyY' asked the broth
er as he looked out of his own tent,
and his query was echoed by the young
men.
The girl did not answer There were
tears in her eyes and sob in her
throat. Happy Harry was going
away. He had given her the promised
sign. He was going home to father,
mother and sister, and the mountains
and valleys would know him no more.

The notes seemed to be echoing
about the room yet and floating out of
door and window to lose themselves
among the crags and peaks and storm
clouds, and the girl sang in a voice
scarcely above a whisper:
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1908-02-25
Still all my song shall be.
Nearer. my God, to thee;

'He has held up more stagecoaches
than any other three men combined"
resumed the landlord as he looked
around with something like pride in
his face. Regular daredevil, but not

ing Of a straight out toff. Guess he
amt In the business for money, but
out of recklessness. You can gamble
that he's got history back in the

''Then you don't call him a real bad
MANI" asked the girl somewhat anx-
iously.
"Bless your heart, miss, but could
real bad man sing that there hymn
with the feeling he did? There was
almost a sob in his throat as he fin
ished, and wild horses couldn't have
dragged him in here to show his feel
ings. They'll catch or kill him sooner
or later, and | for one shall be sorry
for it."
For an hour the talk ran on about
the man who had come and gone so
mysteriously, and the girl was silent
and sober listener The wind had
risen to a gale, and the door and win
cow had to be closed against the driv-
ing rain.
She was thinking of the loneliness
and discomfort of him they talked Of
of what he was and what he might
have been Then when some one re-
marked the lateness of the hour Miss
Olive walked to the window and
,eered out into the night and sang
igain:
There let the way appear steps unto
heaven
All that thou sendest me In mercy g1Vn;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God to thee;
Nearer to thee.
Next day the camp was pitched in
long, narrow valley, with the grim
mountains coming close down on each
side and the ends lost in the hazy dis
lance. A colored man followed them
from Virginia City to do the cooking
and after things were running smooth
ly the engineer and his companions be-
gan hunting and prospecting. Ten days
had passed, and the men were away
one quiet afternoon when the girl.
swinging lazily in her hammock aid
looking up at the grim peaks, felt a
feeling of awe and reverence stealing
over her and softly sang:
"Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer. my God, to thee;
Nearer to thee
And lol From close beside her a
voice repeated the last two lines of the
refrain and brought her out of the
hammock and upon her feet IN an in

Leaning against tree scarce TWO
yards distant she saw young man OF
less than thirty. with his cap in his
hand and a smile of apology on his
bronzed and handsome face. He was
roughly dressed, and yet the garments
did not fit him Ill.
"a thousand pardons for the intru-
sion" he said as he bowed low.
"You-you are the man who sang al

The demand for the new time tables

PIeases Railroad Men.
The most gratifying thing about the
whole enterprise is the universal COM

They have found that it fills the To-
cal needs of their own patrons perfect

WAS PACKED TO ROOF
Towle Opera House Patrons
Enjoy Top o. the
World Music.

Towle's Opera House was packed to
the roof with one of the record break-
ing crowds of the season last evening
on the occasion of the production of
The Top O. tn World" in this city.
The show made a great hit with the
people of this locality and the audi
ence was kept in a roar of laughter all
of the time by the antics of Baily and
Austin, the comedians.
THE Top O. tn World" is something
new in comic operas in that the play
right got away from the jungle set
ting which seemed, heretofore, to be
one of the indispensable features of all
comic operas.
The scene was in the Artics and as a
spectacle the show came up to every
ones expectations The chorus was
fair, but there are no real song hits
in the play and consequently the must
cal feature was not the best one.
The polar bear and Baily and Austin,
however, proved to be show in them
selves, and the entertainment was en-
joyed by all who attended.

MR.. LYONS IS
SATISFIED WITH II.
Says He Pulled in His Net

With Dog Fish.
ABOUT THAT WATER HAUL
Intimates That Els Trip to the East
Will Physic Politics In
Lake County.

~ venture to say that from "a to s.
per cent of the naturalization papers
which were issued In Hammond were
secured either by fraud or error said
Peter j. Lyons this morning to "A
TIMES reporter, in discussing the Sim
on-WicIxey contest for the seat in the
legislature.
Mr. Lyons has been largely instru-
mental In securing much of the data
and information regarding the alleged
discrepancies in the last election in
which the foreigners cut such big
figure. He bases his statement on a
certified report from the immigration
bureaus at New York and Baltimore,
and the fact that his report is certified
is thought to have considerable weight
when, especially. when the contest is
taken into the legislature.
The contest has gained statewide
discussion it will form the basis for the
contests for some of the state offices
which are still pending.
As to That "Water Haul.
Mr. Lyons is still trying to figure
out why he should have been accused
of having made water haul in q
dispatch from indianapolis to TIL

easily passes in other cities as an at
torney, feels that he went out to ge'

He says that at no time did he make
the water haul" but that he pulled

| however, on the alleged water haul
| said that up to the time that he re
ceived the certified papers from TIL
New York bureau it looked like wat

nation of his efforts were timely

argument, Mr.. Lyons denies that at an.

He says it was good for his health and
is incidentally hoping that 1t will ply
sic politics in Lake county generally.
When asked how his water haul'
happened in New York when he had
no trouble in Baltimore, he winked the
OF eye again and said
There was no water haul remem-
Der that. but II you want to know
why the New York papers had to go to

BIG THEATRICAL EVENT
Coming of Cora" Hailed
Glad Acclaim by the
Playgoers.

The coming of Bertha Kalich to Ham
mond Monday, Dec. IS. will be one Of
the biggest theatrical events of the
year. The fact that the theater- goers
of this city are to be treated to a high
class comedy drama and that one of
the recognized stars of the theatrical
world will be here will make it one
of the events of the holiday social sea-
son.
That Hammond was fortunate in be-
ing able to secure Miss Kalich in the
comedy Cora" is shown by the fact
that she will appear in only two other
Indiana citfes-Logahsport and Michi-
gan City
Miss Kalich is one of the independ-
emit stars on the American stage today.
