mo HEAVEN OR HE'LL. !"

The Bible woos to the one and
warns against the other, but the
great ~ Dr. Elliot, says:
The fear of hell has not proved eff
fective to deter men from wrong-do-
ING, and heaven has never yet been
described in terms very attr- ctive to
the modern man or woman. The pre-
vailing conception of heaven and he'll
has hardly any more influence with
educated people in these days than
Olympus and Hides have. 80 And
some preachers add:
DR. Aked, pastor of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church, indorses Dir.
Elliots views as absolutely right: the
fear of hell has certainly not deferred
men as a body from wrong doing. ~
DR.. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the
Madison Avenue Baptist Church, be-
lieves that while the fear Of hell may
not deter college professors from
wrong-doing, yet for the masses it is
still effective. Archbishop Ryan
says: Strike down the great truth
whisper in TIE ear there is no hell;
God is indulgent-and you strike down
the great motive. According to Dr.
Franklin II. Giddings, Of Columbia
University, the masses of the people
have never cared very much about
heaven or hell, and at the present day
neither place is an appreciate factor
in the makeup of any popular code
of morals
To Dr. Elliott the Bible is a sealed
book, Columbia University encourages
the minging Of the races i'm the school
ROOM and is hot bed Of isms, while
DR.. Aked is on record as declaring
that the hope of the world is TO double
the salaries of the preachers "
Some people may live without a
Bible but TO the res. of us it remains
ever true that Strike down the great
motive-whisper in the there is no
hell God is indulgent-and you strike
down the great motive
The educators Of the day have to be
taught that the beginning of wisdom
IS TO fear God and keep his command
ments, or the thoughtful parents of
the day will unite in saying that they
are not the proper persons to teach
their children.

THE PRESIDENTS SHAKE

Something unique in the history of
the two Republics took place on last
Saturday when President Diaz came
over on American soil to greet
our President and when Mr. Taft
went over within one-half hour on
Mexican soil to return the visit The
former glittered in gold, rode in a We
hicle with golden ornaments, hubs of
solid gold, while the latter wore a
tailor made suit of good material and
which cost high by virtue of the best
tariff law ever devised by the wit of
men.
The speeches OF salutation were
short and void of international sugges-
tons or complications, but what con-
Germs US is the fact given out that the
meeting was arranged to open a wider
doorway for the inflow Of good Ameri-
can money into Mexican territory for
the upbuilding of Mexican industries,
and then too, when we of this nation
are about to enter upon another win
ter season, which means that ourfarm-
erS the country over will be again
stuck in the mud. just 81, 600, 600, 600
of our money is already invested there
and yet the cry of the horse leech
rings out good and strong and Mr..
Taft would have us listen to it and
heed the cry Sign bill before leav-
ing Washington, the operation of
which means heavier burdens upon
feIow-cOuntrymen, and then make It
easier to get rid of whatever surplus
change may be left. We are glad
that the anarchist did not get in their
bloody work, and our hope is that for
all time to come the Rio Grande may
remain bond rather than boundary.
Contact always begets interest.
You have never loved a person that
you have not seen.
We have somewhere read of a dear
girl who during life wore locket
concealed, and after death. when it
was opened by friends, they read
these words whom having not seen
yet ! love. The natural eyes had
never looked into the face of her Lord
and yet she could, with the confidence
OF Peter look up and say, Thou
knowest all things. Thou knowest
that love thee. 80

Mrs. Taft is evidently in poor health,
and it is said that she will not be equal

inquiry goes out, who will take her

be called off for at least one season,

TOR a moment Tom hesitated. Then
L summOning up all his courage, he
stepped forward and flung open the
door. It was not a reassuring sight
which greeted him on the threshold, for
there, grim and stern in his somber
dress, stood a figure which, from the
insignia on his collar, he recognized
must be that of his principal lieutenant
in the tong, and the man against whom
his predecessor had especially warned
him as an ambitious and UnscrupUloIs
rival.
The cold shivers chasing one another
up and down his back, Tom expected
nothing except TO be instantly unmasked
and denounced as an imposter.
The one thought which suggested it
self to him was that the fugitive leader
had failed. and that now this claimant
for authority with his cohorts looming
shadowy behind him was come to drag
him back 10 the death chamber.
The man. however, beyond giving a
slight gesture Of surprise, made no
movement.

The book. he found, contained minute
instructions for him IN all matters con-
nected with his dealings with the toms
He learned the pass words, grips, ana
signs of recognition current among the

he must pay Difference. and whom ne

society each week, at which ne was

work for their future depredatiOns, ac-
cOTdiug 10 the reports brought IN 10 h'm
by trusted emiSsaries.
There was a multitude Of detail about

punishment of any one suspected of
treacherv to the society, or who might
have succeeded in arOustng its diSpleds-

not find one word showing him how 10

cunningly failed to mention. Tom would
have 10 ind out the way for hImselI by
slow degrees, and thus delay any at

until the others flight was well accom-
plished.
No. as he saw it, he was doomed for
the present at least 10 all the shoes
into which his feet had so Unexpectedly
been thrust. He must go wOUily and
appear to be all that he was not, until
he could find out the avenues By which
access was gained TO the world above.

He must learn what disposition nae

way to get into communication with her

CHAPTER Xxx.

THE BOOK OF INSTRUCTIONS
GORE stood staring blankly at
Nh the door for a moment, then
VI collapsed into his chair.
He felt as might q man sud
denly abandoned in a leaky rOWboaI IN
midocean without a chart or compass
What chance was there for him 70
fuIhn the duties imposed by his posi-
ton? His clumsy imposture would
be punctured the very first moment
that he came into contact with any
member OF the society.
Standing there gazing wildly around
him, he happened TO catch a retiec-
ton Of himself in a polished mirror
across the room from the fireplace
and started in incredulous amazement-
What trick was this Of his strange
and uncanny new ABODE? He stood
revealed there in the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of On old man, gray haired,
with lined and haggard face.
He had seen mirrors which changed
the appearance from short to tall or
stout to thin, but how could quick
silver and glass add half a century TO
a mans years2
Surety It could not be himself, and
Yet he recognized, strangely as though
in some ancestral portrait. all the de-
tails OF his own identity-the nose, the
mouth, the eyes-sIl the features were
his own. He could even discern, still
distinct, the scratches which had been
inflicted upon his cheek in the struggle
with the terrified girl IN the restaurant
Ave, his very clothes were the same
And as he noted this he wondered all
the more. If he had been through some
Rip Van Wrinkle experience, and nifty
years had descended upon him IN a
week how could his garments remain
still fresh and new? Would they not,
too. have become ragged and old and
worn out?
And then the realization came to him.
He recognized that what he had always
regarded as fable was the actual
truth. In these moments OF horror ~
the death chamber, while he reCOiled
with shuddering fear from the taunt-
ing prospect held up before him by his
masked tOrmenter. his hair had grown
white and lines had scanned his face,
never to be eradicated.
Small need for him, he thought, TO in
vest himself with a disguise II he
should go abroad in the manner Of his
predecessor. No one who had known
the light-hearted, happy looking student
would ever recognize him In his present
guise.
For the moment the surprise aroused
by his discovery had caused MIN TO for
get his precarioUs situation, but this
thought now recalled him to the dan
gers which beset him on every hand
Hastily seiZing the mask and robe, an
exact counterpart IN every respect Of
the one worn by his late companion, ne
invested himself in IL, and, grabbing
up the little book, commenced a hurried
examination Of its contents.
After all, there was no need IN giving
I'D so long as there was a chance. His
fighting blood. all the strong determine
ton of his nature, reused up anew, and
he resolved he would see the thing
through.
Then. II he failed he would feel thai
at least he had done his best, and ina
it was Fate which was against him. no
his own ine1tciency.
