Dicksie with her pulses throbbing at
fever heat heard the words. She stood
halfway down the stairs, trembling as
she listened. Anger, hatred, the spirit
of vengeance, choked I'm her throat at
the sinister words. She longed to stride
into the room and confront the muir

head It was no fear Of him that re-
strained her, for the Crawling Stone girl

prudence checked her angry impulse.

as a shadow, ran into the office and be-

Dicksie lowered her head and gave

She had no protection but her skirt,

thousands of saddle miles, told Dicksie
OF her terrific pace. She was riding

of accident. In spite of the sliding and
the plunging down the long hill, the
storm and the darkness brought no
thought of fear for herself; her only
fear was for those ahead In supreme

tried TO reckon how far they had come

feel her skirt stifiening about her knees,

her breath to listen, but before she
could apprehend Jim leaped violently
ahead. Dicksie screamed in an agony
of terror. She knew then that she had

In the morning the sun rose with a

The Lure of the Desert.

Have you slept in tent alone-a tent
Out under the desert sky
Where a thousand thousand desert miles
All silent, round you lie?-
The dust of the aeons of ages dead,
And the people that trampled by!
Have you looked in the deserts painted
cup,
Have you smelled at dawn the wild
sage musk,
Have you seen the lightning flashing up
From the grounds, in the desert dusk?
Have you heard the song in the desert
(Like the undertone of a wordless
rhyme),
Have you watched the glory of colors
flame
In it's marvel of blossom time?
Have you lain with your face in your
hands, afraid
Face downfall down on your face
and prayed,
While the terrible sand storm whirled
and swirled
In its soundless fury, and hid the world
And quenched the sun in its yellow
Just you, and your soul, and nothing,
there?
If you have, then you know, for you've
felt its spell,
The lure of the desert land,
And if you have not, then could not
tell
For you could not understand.

In the current issue its writer, "A

note on DR.. Joyce's "Old Irish Folk

sical Leaders critic:
Now that we have these songs in
print, S42 all new in Joyce's book and
2,S51 $500 of them new), let US tempo-
rarily cease the search for more, and

singing of them. Then perhaps our

Concerning Fools,

There is a fool born every minute, SO
we are told, but there is also a great
mortality among them. There are few
er active ones alive today than there
were last week, or than there will be
next Monday morning. 1t seems useless
to say much to this kind of people. but
we do wish to give a few. suggestions
in the interest of those who are not
fools but friends and relatives of fools.
Unless you are an expert boatman,
do not take a boat out on the water,
and in no event unless you are able to
control all those who are in it.
Do not try to see how deep you can
dive nor how far you can swim into
danger.
Do not try to see if your automobile
can make 70 miles an hour as guaran-
teed by the man from whom you bought
it.
Do not blow out your brains simply
because the girl doesn't like you or
because you can't pay your debts. Let
others do the worrying
Do try and be sane If you must
kill yourself go off and do it in a gen
tlemanly manner, but do not involve
lot of other people who are not ready
and perhaps not prepared to die.
And we have no doubt that in the
pockets of some of the victims of today
or tomorrow will be found a copy of
this issue with its warming We are
doing our best.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Census of RELIGIOUS Bodies.

A bulletin issued by the census bu-
reau entitled Census of Religious
Bodies" shows that out of total
church membership in the United
States in 1906 of nearly 33, ,000,0 900, 43l
per cent were males and 56.9 per cent
were women and female children.
Among the Protestants the difference
was greater, only 1913 per cent being
males, while in the Roman Catholic
church the males formed 49.3 per cent
of the total membership. Fewer males
were found among the Latter-day
Saints, the Lutherans, Disciples, Meth
odists, Baptists, Pres5yterians and
Protestant Episcopalians, the percent
age of male members decreasing in the
order shown, there being only 355 per
cent of males among the Episcopalians.
Among the Christian Scientists only
276 per cent were males, and of the
Shakers only 21.3 per cent; but in the
Greek Orthodox church 93.9 per cent
were males. Other salient features of
the report show that there were $780,
100000 invested in church edifices, and
that every day eight new churches were
erected. OF the total estimated popu-
lation of continental United States in
1906 the church members formed 391
per cent, as against 1921 per cent for
1890 Of this ga per cent increase the
Roman Catholic church is credited with
IA per cent and the Protestants 1.S, the
remainder being divided among all
other denominations. The total church
membership for 1906 was 92,936,445, of
which number the Protestants were
credited with 2O,2S7,742. and the Roman
Catholics with 12,O79,142 Of the Prot
estant bodies the Methodists numbered
5,749,S3S: the Baptists; 5,662,2S4; the
Lutherans, 2,112, ,494; the Presbyterians.
1905 and the Disciples, or Chris
tians, 1,142,359. The rate of increase
shown for the Roman Catholic church
is 93.5 per cent, which is more than
twice that for all the Protestant bodies
combined
