Mrs. Mabel Day Lea.

| Paper read by Mrs. Phil Helmig on
Sunday, Mar. %, 1908. at the dedica
ton of memorial windows in the
Christian church,
II the spring of 1892 ]. G. Hay, of
Pueblo, Colo. visited Roswell at the
solicitation of Mrs. J. c. Lea and
Mrs. Martha Stone. During a meeting
of two or three weeks which he con
Quoted this church was organized
Mrs. Lea, Mrs. Stone. Judge Richard
son. Capt. Clark and wife. Mr.. and
Mrs. A. J. Ballard, MIR. and Mrs. E.
Long and Mrs. Overman were the
charter members. During the year
Brother Hay spent several months
laboring with the little band, and
greatly increased its membership. In
April, 1894, Arthur Jones was called
to the pastorate and remained about
seven months, during which time
number of persons were added to the
church. He resigned, and in the au-
tuml of the same year Elder T. w.
Hancock of Missouri, was called to
through a number of years, but the
pulpit was filled for short periods by
Brother w. c. Dimmitt, of Sherman,
Texas, and A. d. Scaggs of Oregon.
1t was during Bro. Dimmitt's minis
try that the congregation moved from
their quarters over the Roswell Drug
Co. store to the then considered hand
some new brick church, costing about
six thousand dollars.
n the spring of 1897 D. C. Kellems.
of Iowa, held a meeting from March
% to April 25. during which over six
ty were added to the membership.
S. K. Hallam, of Mckinney, Texas,
was our next pastor, beginning his
work January l, 1899. During his pas
torate of over two years the church
paid the debt contracted at the build
ing OF the church with the Church
Extension Board.
Bro. Hallam was followed by Frank
T. Wilson, who commenced his work
first pastor to be paid entirely by the
local congregation.
Our present pastor, c. C. Hill, whose
pastorate is drawing to a close, com
menced his labors with the congre-
CATION in February, 1904. We all
know how the congregation mas
grown under his labors and leader
ship and how our new brick church
has been reconstructed into the Old
Mission.
If a complete history of the church
could be written it would doubtless
be found true that it owes its exist
ence more to Mrs. ]. C. Lea than to
anyone alse, closely seconded by
Mrs. Martha Stone Hancock, although
Judge Richardson. Capt. Clark. Mrs.
Ballard and Mrs. Long were untiring
workers in early days when there
was so much to do and so few to do.
Never have we been intimately as
sociated with a woman of so much
executive ability as Mrs. ]. c. Lea,

Dead Child Sent by Mail.

Local postoffice employees are
somewhat mystified by an unusual
package that was received here a few
days ago from a tow1 in Illinois. The
package was addressed to a man in
this city who had gone and left his
forwarding address as Portales. The
package was forwered to Portales,
where it was inspected on account of
its odor. 1t is reported that the pack
age contained a cigar box in which
was the body of a child that had

The blue-gra eyes opened wide in sudden
fear, the red lips parted slightly, and the
white hands were outstretched with sudden
pleading gesture.

and when obstacles arose he either CHM bed
over or bucked through. In this particular
instance he had arrived at two conclusions:
first. that the women were IN no bodily danger
from a man merely trying to escape from
England; second. that some very pretty little
game was on foot and Marcus Girard was in a
fair position to nip it before it doomed.
HAVING settled the matter as far as was
- possible until the twentieth of the month,
he finished packing and had his valises sent
on board his steamer: then he hunted up sew
eral London inanciers in the hope of raising
funds and was turned down-hard. Where
upon, the sorely beset old man cursed England
to the limit of his linguistic proficiency and
followed his valises.
At eight o'clock next morning the Lusitania
was warped out of her dock at Liverpool, and
headed for New York. Girard did two things.
He interviewed the Captain, causing lookouts
to be posted night and day to watch for the
Spitfre; then he tipped the chief engineer
The first precaution was productive of no result;
the second proved benefit to two PERSONS
the chief engineer himself and the man that
drew the highest number in the pool. After
this Girard took to pacing the decks in utter
solitude, and was voted beast by two hun
dred and eighty passengers.
On reaching New York he Immediately
raised his requisite funds, at Notifying
money rate. closed his Canadian deal, then
took off his coat, so to speak, and got into the
OCnef nCCle game. IL neeueQ cash ana influence
He borrowed big black yacht from business
acquaintance by the name of Morgan.-the
yacht being called the Horsehair, or some
thing as near as possible to that name without
infringing on the laws of copyright
Of one fact Girard was thoroughly con-
vinced If anything ususual was going to
happen on board the Spitire, it would happen
in the immediate vicinity of Sandy Hook;
therefore he would stack his chips. and throw
in few white ones before the hook was reached.
So, with this logical aim in view. the Horse
hair went staggering down the bay. followed
by six business looking little tugboats, the
entire fotilla being equipped with search
lights, signal rockets. and such other parapher-
MALTA as is usually employed in a nautical still
hunt: then they ran out to sea for a hundred
miles or SO and spread themselves after the
manner of harbor chain in times of war. By
day, with the aid of marine glasses. they picked
up everything. from a catboat to the battle
ship Oregon. and by night their searchhghts
created doubts in the minds of all wandering
craft concerning the seekers sanity.
ON the night of the eighteenth at certain
number of bells.-it doesn't matter par
ticle just how many,-an officer of the Horse
hair aroused Marcus Girard from his slumbers
to report success on the starboard quarter.
Marcus Girard came out on deck in his pajamas
and smiled.

excitement and a corresponding French delay;
yet such was the lamentable case. Mean
while Marcus Girard cooked himself to cinder
of impotence, and by the time coherent tidings
of the Spitfre did reach him, that saucy craft
was kicking up her heels in the dim distance.
There was no boat at Calais that could catch
the Spithre, even IN ordinary circumstances,
and now the proposition was rendered still
more hopeless when Girard recalled charac-
teristic phrase in the sailing orders to Captain
Joe:
Drive her as hard as hell will let you'll"
He knew Captain Joe, and he knew the posi-
blities of such verbal tonic therefore ne
shocked the women operators at the telegraph
station, and went away.
1t was perfectly clear to him that Torkins
was in collision with some thief or murderer
by the name of James Ormond. The valet
was acquainted with his masters eccentrici-
ties. his mode of life, and the existence OF the
little red cipher book. The rest was easy;
but what the blazes, he asked himself, should
any rational thief want with good yacht con-
tanning Polly Thurman and Aunt Mary!
Girard knew a good deal about thieves, and
for time the problem troubled him. A thou

missed as being too absurd for serious con-
sideration. One, however, stuck. 1t was
rather a shrewd guess, and was expressed with

AT first blush the owner of the Spitfre
= thought of chartering part of the Eng
lish navy for pursuit; but he knew something
of English red tape: besides money was
tight No, he must work his business head
to better and more economical advantage.
The Lusitania; on which he had booked his
passage, was scheduled to reach New York on
the seventeenth. The Spitfre. according to
the despatch sent Captain Joe, would make
Sandy Hook by the twentieth, then cruise
about and fly private signals. Thus, Girard
had the advantage of three days. and even if
his steamer did not sight the Spitfre on her
way over, he could run out of New York on
another craft and watch for his yacht as it
came in.
He did not lose sight of the fact that these
very kilograms might have been worded with
an object of sending him on false trail, or
that the whole maneuver might be planned by
a financial shark as a blind for some wildcat
operation in which the absence of one Marcus
Girard would be worth that feshy mans
weight in railroad bonds.
He considered the matter carefully. in its
every light. just as was his custom to consider
a probable rise or fall in stocks; but, unlike
his daughter. he did not do the opposite. When
he made up his mind. he went straight ahead.
