The two games last Saturday were enjoyed by
good sized crowd, and the results were most
satisfactory to the home rooters. Richards did
fine work in the box for Belfast High in the
first game against the E. M. C.. S.. which proved
to be the most interesting of the two. The
game was close up to the 7th inning, when four
runs for Belfast settled the fate of the up

sent down from the State conference regard
ing the change of name from Conference to
Association, the question of ministerial stand
ing, and the new constitution of the Congrega-
tional Conference and Missionary Society of
Maine. These questions were presented most
Interestingly by Prof. Calvin M. Clark of Ban
gor Seminary. Various committees were then
appointed by the Moderator and the conference
took recess for dinner. Bountiful tables
were spread in nearby hall and after dinner a
gan the afternoon session, conducted by the
Rev. j. B. Parry. Reports of various commit
tees were then received The conference ap-
pointed committee consisting of Rev's. J.
B. Parry, J. W. Vaughan and c. H. Nc
Elhiney, to draw up new constitution for
to report next year and the conference voted
to omit the fall meeting of this year.
A new departure was the appointment of an
Advisory Committee of three clergymen and
two laymen, whose duty it will be to be of as
sistance to any churches in the Association
seeking its services. The Rev. David L. Will
son was made chairman of this committee. In
teresting reports were received from the
churches. The first address of the afternoon
was mastery presentation of the Problem
of the Country Church" by Prof. Calvin M.
Clark of Bangor Seminary. The Rev. Chas
Harbutt, Secretery of the Maine Missionary So
ciety spoke on the Appointment Plan and of the
work among the Firms in this State. The con-
ference sermon was delivered by the Rev. c.

preacher of the afternoon and the Rev. David
L.. Wilson. Recess was taken, many of the
delegates leaving on the late afternoon train.
In the evening the Rev. S. J. Wilson of Brooks
read paper on Revivals, which was followed
by discussion. The Conference then ad-
journed to meet in June 1910. The delegates

a climax had come in affairs at Sunny
side. The night that followed was quiet
enough. Halsey watched at the foot
OF the staircase, and a complicated
system of bolts on the other doors
seemed to be effectual. .

suit. He came up early the next morn

professional looking car with a black
mood. | found him striding up and
down the living-room, and, in spite of
my pr~econceived dislike, | had to admit
chat the man was pr~esentable. A big
fellow he was, tall and dark, as Ger
trude had said, smooth-shaven and
erect, with prominent features and a
square jaw. He was painfully spruce
in his appearance, and his was
almost obtrusively polite.
Il must make a double excuse for
, this early visit. Miss %Innes,'' he said
as he sat down. The chair was lower
than he expected, and his dignity re-
CURED collecting before he went on.
M professional duties are urgent and
long neglected. and"-a fall to the
everyday manner-'soinething must

dress of Thomas's people. You might

doctor had no intention of leaving.

filled with detectives to exercise it,"
he said.
Tor some reason l felt | was being
pumped as Halsey says. you have
been misinformed," I replied.
What, no ghost, no detectivesi" he
said, still with his smile. What a dis
appointment to the vlllagel"
resented his attempt at playfulness.
1t had been anything but a joke to us.
Doctor Walker / said tartly, II
fail to see any humor in the situation.
Since | came here, one man has been
shot, and another one has died from
shock. There have been i~ntruders in the
house, and strange noises. If that is
funny, there is something wrong with
my sence of humor."
You miss the point he said, still
sood-naturedly. THE thing that Is
funny, to me, is that you insist on re-
manning here, under the circumstances
should think nothing would keep

warning of the Casanova doctor, every
thing breathed of peace.
Affairs at the Traders Bank were
progressing slowly. The failure had hit
small stockholders very hard, the min
lister Of the little Methodist chapel in
Casanova among them. He had re-
ceived as a legacy from an uncle a seyy
shares of stock in the Traders Bank,
and now his joy was turned to bitter
ness; he had to sacrifice everything he
had in the world, and his feeling
against Paul Armstrong, dead, as he
was, must have been bitter in the ex-
IRENE. He was asked to officiate at
the simple services when the dead
bankers body was Inferred in Casa
nova cnurchyard. but the good man
providentially o cold. and a substi-
tute was called in.

called to see me. a kind-faced little
man. in a very bad frock-coat and laun-
dered tie. | think he was uncertain as
to my connection with the Armstrong
family. and dubious whether / con-

known Thomas well, and had promised

AFRICAN Iion Church. He told me more

left. | astonished him-and myself, I
admit-by promising a new carpet for
his church. He was much affected, and
| gathered that he had yearned over
his ragged chapel as a mother over a
half-clothed child.
You are layirg up trea sure. Miss

moth nor rust corrupt, nor thieves

1t is certainly a safer place than
Sunnyside,' l admitted. And the
thought of the carpet permitted him
to smile. He stood Just inside the
doorway. looking from the luxury Of
the house to the beauty of the view.
THE rich ought to be good" he said
wistfully. ''They have so much that
is beautiful. and beauty is ennobling.
And yet-while I ought to say nothing
but good of the dsad-Mr. Armstrong
saw nothing Of this fair prospect. To
him these trees and lawns were not the

he dropped his pulpit manner and.

Sin spite of all this LUXURY he said.
the country people here have a saying
that Mr.. Paul Armstrong could sit on a
dollar and see all around it.. Unlike
the summer people. he gave neither to
the poor nor to the church. He loved
money for its own sake"
