DEATH CALLS BISHOP WARD.
Methodist Leader Passed Away i'm
Japan-ElcCtcd Bishop i'm 1906.

TOXIC, Sept. 2O.-Bishop Seth
Ward, OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. died this afternoon.
The bishop arrived in Kobe last
month on his regular tour Of inspec-
tion of the Methodist missions of
Japan, and he was taken i'll shortly
after his arrival. Last week he was
reported as gradually sinking, and
the fatal termination of his illness
was not unexpected.
ri uOp Ward, who came from
Eon5ton, Texas, sailed from San
Francisco late in July to make his
annual tour Of inspection OF his
church'S foreign missionary work.
While he was not suffering of any
chronic complaint, it was known that
he was in poor health, and his friends
attempted to diSsuade him from the
trip The bishop was 81 years old.
He served as assistant missionary
secretary Of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, from 1902 TO
1905, and was elected bishop in the
latter year.
Bishop Ward Sclf-Taught.
Bishop Ward was born a little
more than fifty years q go in the then
new State of Texas, the son Of a pio-
necr into that territory. He was
brought up on Il farm, and the only
schools he ever attended were the
country schools of what was then
practically the southwestern from
tier. Ills acquisition of the elements
of liberia! education was accom-
pliShcd by persistent effort. in which
he was his own teacher. When
about 20 years old. Seth Ward united
with the Texas Conference. with
which he remained connected until
he was elected to the episcopacy in
l?O6 at birmingham. He began his
ltlncrant career as pastor Of a coun-
try circuit, but rose gradually in his
conference until he at length was
appointed to a number of the lead
ing charges in it,
After the great food disaster i'm
Galveston in 1901, he was selected TO
take charge Of the diSorganizcd and
ruined church in that city. 1t was.
perhaps, his fidelity and success in
diScharging that difficult mission
that became the occasion Of his cleo
ton TO the position of assistant mis-
slonary secretary Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, i'm 1902.
AT meeting of bishops in Nav,
1905, Bishop Ward was appointed to
take charge Of the missionary work
or the church in the Orient

and all women too, to his will. Was he angered
by unexpected resistance? She hoped the
maid would hurry with her news. Though she
meant to 60 at once to the village, it would be
point gained if she was certain OF Stampas
identity
She was already veiled and befurred when
Leontine returned Yes, Marie had given her
full information. Madam had heard, perhaps,
how Herr Bower and the pretty English mad

gone with his voyageur, Monsieur Spensare, to
their rescue. And the young lady was the one
whom Stampa had endangered during his ca
reer as cab driver. Again it was droll.
Millicent agreed. For the second time, she
resolved to postpone her journey to St Moritz.
POWER was surprised when Stampa led him
= into the main road Having never seen any
sign of cemetery at Maloggia, he guessed
vaguely that i must be situated close t, to the

round the base of a huge pile of logs, stacked
there in readiness for the fires of a long winter

Bowers face had grown cold and gray, while
the old man was speaking. He began to un-
derstand. Stampa would spare him none OF

hotel Well, he would not draw back now. If

reckoning atonement, he hoped,-and he
would not shirk the ordeal, though his flesh
quivered and his humbled pride lashed him
like whip.
The squalid stable was peculiarly offensive.
Owing to the gale the cattle that ought to be
pasturing in the high alp were crowded there
in reeking filth Yesterday not long before
this hour, he was humming verses of cow songs
to Helen, and beguiling the way to the Forno
with recital of the customs and idyls of the
hills What spiteful thing was Fate! Why
had this doting peasant risen from the dead
to drag him through the mire of past trans

toleIable But his words were mild, biting only
by reason of their simple pathos. He spoke IN
a detached manner He might be relating the
unhappy story of some village maid of whom
he had no personal knowledge. This complete
self effacement grated on Bowers nerves. 1t
almost spurred him again to ungovernable
rage But he realized the paramount need of
self control. He clenched his teeth IN the effort
to bear his punishment without protest.
