 Reassured now that she did not have to leave him to do his bidding. the girl ran, to the private phone. She rang the bell wildly, half crying into the re- ceiver: js.u
 'sHello! Is Mir. Sommers there?"- then her face went blank. "He ain't?' she gasped. then turned from the phone to cry to O'Leary. "Oh, Joe, he ain't therep
 The strength of the bleeding man was going fast, but grin determina- tion to do the right thing kept him up
 .Find out where he is and get him." he commanded.
 The girl turned back to the phone. nized the person at the other end of the wire.
 "oh, is that you, Miss Frances?" she cried. "This is Lucy Smith. Yes, ma'am, I'm at the works. There's been trouble here. and MT. Sommers must come right away. There's something wrong with the Sommers gun. What? You say come up to your house?"
 She looked away from the phone moment pitifully toward her injured sweetheart. then turned back to the re- ceiver in response to Frances Durant's sharp, anxious command.
 ''Yes, ma am. O'Leary made me phone. I want to warn MT. Sommers. They're trying to spoil his gun. No. ma'am. If ain't sure. We suspect"
 Again she hesitated looking pitlfully at her own wounded lover. How could she leave him merely to save the lover of the other woman? But discipline is strong about steel works, and Fran ces Durant was the daughter of the owner. So poor little Lucy had no al ternative but to obey.
 "Yes. ma'am," she shouted into the receiver. ''I'll come if you wish. I'll get there in five minutes. I'll run. Yes, ma'am, I'll run. Goodbyv'
 She hung up the receiver, then hur- ried over to O'Leary. He sank forward in his chair and rested now partly on the desk before it. The girl put her arms about him.
 "Oh. can't leave you if you are hurt bad, dear" she half sobbed.
 With all the strength he could com mand O'Leary caught her arm.
 Don't trouble about me. Hurry over and do what Miss Frances tells you and don't tell any one else.''
 Still the girl hesitated, but just then Marsh entered the office from the works.

REMOVAL OF CHURCHES
BY vEsTRY.

vEsfHf'
 Since 1907 St. Johns Chapel has been a place of worship in New York. Owing to changed conditions in it's neighbor- hood, the vestry of Trinity Church de- termined to close it. and to transfer the work carried on there to another church within the same parish. half a miles distant. To prevent this remov- al an injunction was sought In Burke v Rector. etc. of Trinity Church. III New York Supplement-. 255, the New York Supreme Court held that tlas vestry has the supervision and control. and is the sole manager of the tenn poralities of the corporation. and the plaintiffs are required to conform to the canons, usages. and discipline of the church of which they are mem bers. The judicial power is reluctant to interfere in matters of religious or ecclesiastical arrangement. and will do so only when rights of property or civil rights are involved. No such rights are involved. No such rights appear to be affected by this controv- ersy. No cause having been presented for the cognizance of a court of equi- ty, the application for injunction was denied.
