Death in Horrible Form.

Some were drowned others were

splintered cars was burned on the

Broken Rail Was Cause.
The train wrecked was enroute

of the train passed over the break in
safety. The day coach, which was

Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that Ia
the moral well-being Of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people If, in addition to promoting
their material well.being. it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor Of the
foreign missionary in single genera
ton has been remarkable.

mining operations in Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as a consequence was hiding, At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and young woman
Stephens rescued the young woman from
her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens. told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmcralda n
Chilean vessel, should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
was assigned. He gave them final in
structions, They boarded the vessel. They
successfully captured the vessel supposed
to be the Esmeralda, through. strategy.
Capt stephens gave directions for the de-
parture of the craft. He entered the cab
in and discovered the English woman
and her maid. stephens quickly learned
the wrong vessel had been captured.
Il was Lord Darlington,s private yacht
He explained the situation to her lady
ship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare
the plot. saying that the Sea Queen had
been taken in order to go to, the Antarc-
Donna Isabel was lost, in 1858. He. had
on an island and contained much gold.
stephens consented to be the captain
of the expedition. He told Lady
Darlington. She was greatly alarmed,
but expressed confidence in him. The
Sea Queen encountered a vessel in the
fog. Stephens attempted to communicate.
This caused fierce struggle and he was
overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the sit
uation. Then the Sea Queen headed south
again Under Tuttes guidance the ves-
sci made progress toward its goal
De Nova the mate, told Stephens that he
believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper,
insane because of his queer actions.
Stephens was awakened by crashing of
glass. He saw Tuttle in the grip of a
spasm of religious mania and overcame
him. The sailor upon regaining his senses
was taken i'll. TuuJie committed suicide
by shooting. Upon vote of the crew
Stephens assumed the leadership and the
men decided to continue the treasure
hunt, the islands being supposed to be
only 200 miles distant Tuttle was buried
in the sea, Lady Darlington pronouncing
the service. Stephens awaking from
sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have
formed the basis for Tuttle's religious
mania. Upon advice of Lady Darlington.
Stephens started to probe the ghost.
He came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunk
en- officer he had humbled in Chile. He
found that at Sanchez inspiration. En-
gineer Mcknight played ghost to scare
the men into giving up the quest.
