THE PRINCETON UNION: THU

He saw the faint glow in the corner of
the rose window. Were there thieves
after the altar plate?
He shook off the eager hand that was
drawing him toward the window.
"Not there. Come this way" he said
and hurried toward the porch. He
tried the chapel door. 1t was fast. He
had key to this in his pocket He in
serted it with caution, opened the door
noiselessly and went in. the street
preacher at his heels.
What the bishop saw was photo
graphed instantaneously on his mind
in fiery, indelible colors. It ate into his
soul like hot iron into quivering flesh,
soaring itself upon his memory. The
evangelist of the pave had been horri-
fed, shocked to word and action; the
bishop was frozen, 1narticulate, i'm
paled. For any evil in Hugh Stires he
was prepared-since the forgery. But
Hugh's companion now was the man
whom he himself had ordained and
anointed by the laying on of hands
with the chrism of his holy ministry.
An irrepressible exclamation burst
from his lips.
With the sound both men at the ia
BILE started to their feet Hugh, with
wild laugh, leaped the railing. dashed
through the study and vanished into
the night. Harry, as though suddenly
turned to stone, stood staring at the
accusatory figure, with the eager form
of the evangelist behind it.
To the bishop it seemed the attitude
of guilt detected.
What was Harry Sanderson thinking
as under that speeches. regard he
mechanically gathered the scattered
cards and lifted the little cross and the
unopened bag of double eagles from
the table? Where was the odd excite
ment, the strange exaltation, that had
possessed him? The spindles in his
brain had stilled, and an algid calm
had succeeded as abrupt as the quiet,
deadly assurance with which his mind
now saw the pit into which his own
feet had led him.
He blew out the candle, replaced it
carefully in it's altar bracket, made
shift to wipe the wax from the table
and slowly, half blindly and without
word, went into the study.
The bishop came forward, drew the
key from the inside of the study door,
closed it and locked it from the chapel
side. Harry did not turn, but he was
actually conscious of every sound.
He heard the door shut sharply, the
harsh CRATE Of the key in the lock, and
the sound came to him like the last
sentence-the realization of a soul on
whom the gate of the good closes for
ever.
In the dark silence of the chapel
Hallelujah Jones smote his thin hands
together approvingly as he followed
the bishop to the outer door. There
the older man laid his hand on his
shoulder.

and said, clearly and aloud-to that
cold, inner symbol of consciousness in
his soul:

Something in Harry's brain seemed

Mother Finds Son and
Nephew Cold in
Death.
Many CalamitieS for
Brent Household in
Brief Period.
Victims Cousin Killed
by Playmate---Uncle
Assaulted.

A mother finding her son and
nephew dead in bed this morning
was the tragic climax Of a remark
able series of pathetic misfortInes
that have befaIIen one family in i
little more than a month.
Lying in the same bed in a ittls
room on the second floor Of the
house at 947 c street southwest,
Landon H. Brent, fourteen years old,
and his cousin, Russell Brent,
twenty-one, were found asPhyxiatcd
from Illuminating gas shortly be-
fore o'clock.
LandOn's father, Cameron Brent,
was kept awake nearly all last
night from a severe attack of neu-
ralgia. He bore the pain as long
as he could, and about 6:3O he asked
his wife to get up and heat him
some water.
As soon as Mrs Brent opened
her bedroom door she detected the
odor OF gas. At first she thought
. The gas stove might be turned on,
and hurried % the kitchen. Failing
TO find any of the stopcocks open,
she returned TO the second floor.
When she opened the door of her
sons room the mother was nearly
overcome. She reached over the
bed and grasped her sons hand.
Both bodies were cold, ard It was
evident that the two boys had been
dead some time. A hurry call was
sent to the Emergency Hospital,
aD3 when the ambulance arrived the
surgeon pronounced life extinct in.
both cases.
Cousin Killed by Playmate.
Craig Brent, eight years old, a cousin
OF both boys, living near Roanoke. Va,
was presented with a rife for Christ
mas. In the afternoon he and a COM
paDiOn Of about the same age put up a.
target near the house. Naturally OF q
generous disposition, Craig allowed his
chum TO shoot first Putting the gun 10
his shoulder, he pulled the trigger, and
Craig fell to the ground. The bullet
had pierced his chest near the heart
The boy was carried into the house
and died two days later. The boy who
had shot him was exonerated Of all
blame. but the little fellow was heart
broken over having killed his chum.
a few days afterward Landon Brent.
eighty years old. grandfather of young
Landon. who vas found dead this morn
ing, had an exciting experience with =
burglar that nearly cost him his life.
The aged man lives alone on a large
farm near Arlington, Nelson county.

Attacked by Negro.
During the night the negro gained an
entrance to the house and attacked Mr..
Brent while in bed. After choking him.
the negro demanded that Mr.. Brent tell
him where he kept his money. The
man was so weak that he could hardly
speak. This seemed to further enrage
the negro and ne again started choking
his victim.
Leaving him for dead, he ransacked
the house, taking with him everything
OF value. Mr.. Brent Is said to have
recognized the robber as a former slave
who worked on The Brent estate before
the civil war.

There is more Catarrh in this sec ion of the
country than all other diseases put together.
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local medies. and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
