STOPPED THE WORK.

Yesterday the Street Railroad Co,

Grand Ave, opposite Lund's for the
purpose of putting in another switch.
The citizens along the avenue have had

some thought they were in for q third.
Mayor Lamont was to appealed to. and
he forthwith stopped the work until it
could be determined what the rights of

Town line road in order, it is claimed.
To make schedule time and of course
the people have to walk the balance of

EASTERTIDE.

The past week bes been one of much
religious observance. Last Sunday on
the religious calendar was Palm Sunday,
or the day when Lutheran children are
confirmed to the faith. There were
large classes taking the rites at each
church of that denomination Friday
will also be observed with services by
all churches aside from the English.
1t is one of the biggest church holidays
of the year. On Sunday next the
Lenten period ends Easter Sunday
brings to an end the period of abstin-
ance and fasting. 1t is another red
letter day among the chronological
festivals of the Christian. On that day,
at all churches, there will be special
music, decorations, etc. Usually most
of the churches are insufficientin seat
ing capacity on Easter Sunday to ac-
commodate the communicates, for in
addition to the regular congregation,
many come in from the near by
country.

CHAPTER X-Continued.

CONSERVATION reigned in Rabat next
morning. The captain of the Water
Witch began the disturbance over night,
but when daylight brought no tidings of
the missing. Englishman. the British vice
consul talked most unfeelingly of a visit
by the west coast squadron. A worried
and anxious hey, well aware that Mo-
rocco had troubles in plenty without
Rabat adding to the store, protested that
the. NaZarene must have been spirited
away without human agency. The hey
was not listened to, SO he tried honestly
to find out what had become of Warden.
The only ascertainable facts were that
the Giaour had bought a chisel, and was
seen going to the tower of Hassan, the
way to which was shown to him by one
of his own countrymen. The hour was
early, soon after sunrise. Since then he
had seemingly vanished off the face of
the earth. The beys myrmidOns told how
they had searched the tower, and found
that the Giaour had climbed into it's in
terror. He had used the chisel and dis
placed a stone. apparently without object.
But the place was now quite empty,
though some one had ground corn and
millet recently in an upper chamber
Now. the hey knew quite we'll that the
Blue Man of Ell Hanna made the tower
his headquarters when he visited Rabat
periodically to collect subscriptions for
the Jehad that was to drive every for
e1Rner out OF inc sacred ldnuS VI the
Moors. But he kept silent on that mat
ter, for he feared the Blue Man even
more than the British fleet. Nevertheless
he caused inquiries to me made, though
no one had met the tinted prophet of late.

nor any actual government beyond the

European concerning the Blue Man of Ell

After two hours we emerged from the
valley and got a northeasterly slant Of
wind. When clear of the mountains we
moved at a lively rate. The guide rope
dragged over farmhouses. breaking tiles
and chimneys. The peasants rushed out
with cries and imprecations.
I'VE then found that the guide rope
had become unraveled, and hoisted 1t
into the basket for repairs, which were
most difficult, as we were at the same
time working hard with the blower to
prevent the balloon from rising. A few
hours later we recognized several vii
lagos and then the town of konigstadt.
We sighted a balloon to the eastward.
with peasants hanging to the guide rope.
After passing over konigstadt, which
cost three sacks of ballast, we rose
through the clouds to an altitude of 900
meters tabout 5000 feet and saw above
the clouds q balloon to the north. about
100 meters higher. We began to descend
