position and covered with a sheet.
Tables stood about the walls of the
room at regular intervals covered
with all manner of basins, batteries
and surgical instruments. On the
solitary chair near the door, Mr..
Cavanagh was seated. Sir Charles
Venner and DR.. Fulton, in clean
white aprons and overalls. with
their sleeves rolled up, stood beside
one Of the tables, sleeping some
ugly looking knives in basin of
steaming fluid. At the end of the
occupied operating bench stood two
full blood African negroes. Like
the surgeons, they were both at
tired in white.
Mr.. Cavanagh got to his feet as
we entered. His countenance was
pale and tense. He had evidently
wound himself up to the highest
pitch of determination of which his
nature was capable, and thought
1t probable. whatever the others ex-
pected. that he would support him
self like a man. Marion addressed
her announcement to the surgeons,
but her eyes were bent upon her
lover, and to him in truth she
spoke. She lauded what she called
my devotion to the skies, and to
my surprise the others appeared to
accept me at her valuation.

look of earnest gratitude.

shoulder shrug. DR.. Fulton directed
me to stand near Cavanagh until
all was ready. l obeyed, and for a
space OF some minutes l watched
Marion, who fitted about the place
arranging certain instruments
upon the several tables.
When Sir Charles had completed
his preparations, he turned to the
nearest negro.

French, 1T is time!"
The negro bowed and glided
from the room, followed by DIR. Full

Of slippered feet ON the corridor

negroes re-entered, bearing be-

rested the inert figure OF a young
man. His face was extremely pale.
His eyes were closed and his
mouth was propped wide open with
a curious spring wedge. He was
nude to the waist. His chest was
narrow and his body was hideously
emaciated. He was strapped &C.

If the Truth, as well as the great good

some religionists and some physicists
crane their necks, squint, and squirm in

thing wrong with almost every action of
Mrs Eddy and her followers. Mrs. Ed
dy's book, Science and Health. with
Key to the Scriptures was published in
1875. Today Christian Science has as
many adherents as the Episcopalians,
and they claim that st. Peter founded
their Church. Christian Science has
nearly as many adherents as the Uni
versalist Church, which has had more
than 100 years in which to develop their
-eligion. In the face of these facts and
many others which can be easily obtain
able from legitimate sources. it is shame
full for those who call themselves clean
journalists TO cast such aspersionS on
Mary Baker G. Eddy and her followers
as they do. And not only on Mrs. Eddy,
but on Christ Jesus, for all who follow
in her footsteps follow Him in His way.

very active in the Grand Army and Re-
