 The clamoring voices were suddenly hushed, for there was not wanting in the crowd that instinctive regard for the proprieties which belongs to com munities where gentlewomen are few. In that instant Fielder put his hand on the arm of the staring man and drew him to the door of the hotel.
 Inside. quickly!" he said under his breath, for rumble from the crowd told him the girl had left the balcony above. He pushed the other through the doorway and turned for second on the threshold.

suOTt duQ II truculent shuttle came from the stand ing men. Their faces were dark. Tom Fielder, the lawyer. entered the saloon just in time to see Big Devlin, the owner of the corner dance hall, rise from table, rolling up flannel sleeves along tattooed arms. He saw him stride forward and, with well direct ed shove, send the shambling inebriate reeling across the floor.
 1.-Two CUTS at the bar are enough at time" quoth Devlin.
 Then the lawyer saw an extraordi- nary thing. The emptied glass rang sharply on the bar, the arm that held it straightened, the 1.-the form behind it seemed to expand. and the big bulk of Devlin went backward through the doorway and collapsed in sprawling heap on the pavement.

 The face the roomful saw now as they puSuGu tO tue UuttI dlT uuu which turned on the flocking crowd bore anything but the sinking look they had been used to see on the face of Hugh Stires. The smile that meant danger played over it. There were both calculation and savagery in it It was the look of the man to whom all risks are alike, to whom nothing counts. In the instant confusion every one there recognized the element of hardihood dumfounded. Here was one who, as Barney McGinn. the freighter, said afterward, hadn't the sand of a sick coyote" boarding a bully and the most formidable antagonist the town af- forded.

SERVICE IS ID
 WRITE \ PLAY

Robert W. Service, the WhitehorSe young bank clerk, who is author of Songs of the Sourdough," now run hing in it's 'steenth edition, has been engaged to write a play. As told in the Toronto Star, this is how it came about:
 Recently, while staying at the King Edward hotel, Mir. Ernest Shipman, the we'll known theatrical manager, was taken ill, and when the news reached his wife, Roselle Knot, in New York, she hastened to his bedside to nurse him. A friend dropped in one day and left copy of Songs of sourdough" with the theatrical man
 "Mr. shipman picked 1t up and hand ed 1t to his wife to read to him. She began with the frst poem, The Law of the Yukon and before she read more than a few lines she sat up straight and began to take notice. So did Mir. Shipmsn.
 "Wheu Roselle Knott had read 8 few of the poems the managerial mind could wait DO longer. Already the plan had been formed. Re sent message to the publishers, ordering half dozen copies of the book, and asking for the poets address.
 "As soon as the answer came Mir. shipman wired the Yukon poet at once asking him to write play.
 "'Tt he can write play in the san e spirit that be wrote those poems, he'll make himself famous-and me, too, declared the theatrical man"

And now Wsgner's Skagway band has gotten to that point that all bands reach soon or late-where they give benefit ball. That our band sohuld have arrived there within three weeks from the time of the arrival of the last brass horn is another manifestation of the Skagway way. That's pretty good, isn't it?-the Skagway way. Don't forget that--it will not be copyright ed, that it may be brought into general use. The ball is to be a benefit affair to enable the sixteen pieces to wear uniforms. The band promises to play as many as four pieces after a manner tha, need not orlag the blush of shame 10 the fair cheek of anybody in town. It is to be given in Elks' hall, at date that has yet 10 be fixed.

The dfth Avenue hotel rather saved the day for S'. Patrick. The Alaskan had no sooner breathed it's complaint that the dear old saint was about to be allowed to record another anniversary wlthou, so much as a broken bottle oi Dublin Stout in his honor, when the telephone bells began to ring out in- YItations to join in a celebration to be held at the hotel. And by the same magic there gathered little later SO many choice spirits ot the town as to crowd the dancing floor. And so the day was redeemed and St. Patrick rest ed peacefully in 8 grave in which other wise he would, and should, have been certain to have turned over. The em- erald decorations of the ball and dining iUg room must have been particularly gratifying to him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mrs. Eddy.

To the Editor of The Age-H erald
The news item in your columns giving
the remarks of the Rev. A. C. Dixon OF
Atlanta on the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy
deserves some notice, although the re-
marks are evidently due to a total mis-
apprehension OF the subject and an ignor-
ance of the good that has been accom-
plished by the teachings of this distn-
guished woman. by their fruits We shall
know them" is a saying which points to
the most trustworthy method of form
ing a correct estimate of people and
systems.
Let us look first at the fruits of the
practice of Christian Science. a practice
which is the outcome the legitimate fruit
of the teachings and practice of Jesus
the Christ We may then be able to pre-
sent a somewhat accurate conception of
this venerable and venerated woman, who
has succeeded in establishing that prac-
tice i'll our age.
/. The sick are healed for greatly bene-
fitted in the majority of cases. Some sta
tisticians state that 50 per cent of the
cases treated in Christian Science are
healed, including cases previously pro-
nounced incurable. The ratio is increas-
ing with better understanding Of the sub
ject Result An improved state of
health
2 Errors are disclosed to the benefic-
larry of Christian Science of which he
had been unaware or else Indifferent
thereto, and the desire is born TO correct
these errors. This is not brought about
through telling the faults They are
disclosed to ones own perception through
the silent action of spiritual law, either
soon or gradually. Result: An improved
character.
3. A greater love for the Scriptures, to-
gether with a better comprehension of
its meaning is developed; also, increasing
ability TO utilize the elevated thoughts
there perceived. 1t is difficult to say
what will be the ultimate result Of tie
opening of this vast treasure house to
the human race. Many followers of the
faith testify to greater intelligence, en-
larged capacities and better business
ability
What shall we say of her who in this
age has established and wisely guarded
the practice of Christian Science with
its benefcent effects of alternating the
distress of mankind? We may at least
glance at her history.
Mary Baker G. Eddy came of honor
able, God-fearing parents in fairly we'll
to-do circumstances, whose ideals for
their offspring pointed to elevated char
aeter and morals and the hest education
attainable. All her brothers and sisters,
of whom she was the youngest were
esteemed and .honored in the commun-
tiles where their lots were cast in ma
ture life. So we'll has the status of this
family become known through magazine
articles that 1t is manfestly absurd for
..degeneracy in childhood to be predi-
Gated of it's most distinguished member.
From childhood her aspirations were high
and ennobling. Many sorrows incident to
human life came upon her which she met
patiently but not with the inactive resig-
nation which succumbs. In the midst of
trials she worked steadily toward achiev
ing better things. She became writer
for magazines and periodicals seompara-
lively early in life and this occupation
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-04-03

was continued although hampered by
invalidism.
With the discovery of Christian Sci
ence came added powers, and she pressed
on, undaunted by the difficulties of eX-
pressing "A spiritual discovery in nateria'
terms. Her literary expression has
gained added beauty and power year by
year. but 1t was always clear, and her
scientific writings have from the hrsl
stated with force the absolute facts of be-
ing Her SUCCESS as a writer has been
acknowledged by the French academy,
famed 70. centuries. and in November
last she received from the French GOV
ernment the decoration of 'Ofticler
d'Academie" If. as Mr.. Dixon asserts
any lunatic in an asylum with a stem
oprarher at his disposal could write as
we'll as this highly endowed woman, let
us give all the lnatics an opportunity.
Mrs. Eddy's prose has been compared
to the sweep of organ music. Nlt'oue
having found comparison myself nave
felt it to be most harmonious ana saus-
fvine. or her verse | will ask you ana
YOUR readers to judge by the following
exquisite bit:
"o'er waiting harostrings of the NINA
There sweeps a strain,
Low sad, and sweet, whose rheasui es
bind
The power of pain.
"And DER earth's troubled. angry sea
I see Christ walk
And come to me, and tendery'
Divinely, talk.
"Thus truth enAounds me on the ROCK
Upon Lies shore -,
Gainst which the winds and waves can
shock
oh, nevermore!

three bases on the leftflelder's error. A
moment later, BY daring steal, he cross
ed the plate somewhat to the surprise
OF the Crimson White contingent.
Alabama's rungetting didn't begin un-
til the fourth, although che missed sew
eral golden opportunities before this time
through over-zea1ous base-running. In
the fatal fourth, however the cadets
gave an exhibition of aerial navigation
and when they alighted on terra firma
again the score stood to against them.
Pope Brice, Jones and Harmon all re-
ceved lives on errors. and Paul Jones
two Dagger helped things along. Ala
bama counted again in the sixth, Pope
tapping the sphere for four bags. Good
base-running gave the locals another run
in the seventh. which proved TO be the
last inning, as Umpire WEIGH said that 1t
was too dark to play any more
The Alabama batsmen did some good
work in spite of the fact that they were
facing such an experienced twirler as
Pitcher Feser. Pratt negotiated for two
hits. Pope for three, while others did
almost as well.
