SYNOPSIS.

Miss Innes, spinster and guardian OF
Gertrude and Halsey, established summer
headquarters at Sunnyside. Amidst nu-
merous difficulties the servants deserted.
As Miss Innes locked up for the night,
she was startled by a dark figure on the
veranda. She passed terrible night,
which was filed with unseemly noises.
In the morning Miss Innes found a
strange link cuff button in a clothes
hamper. Gertrude and Halsey arrived
with Jack Bailey. The house was awak-
ened by revolver shot. A strange man
was found shot to death In the hall

In Aecordance with Scripture.

A Boer had sold to a mission Kaffir
the carcass Of an OK that had died
from lung sickness. The missionary
demonstrated with him, and threat
ened to report him to the authorities.
The Boer expressed his surprise at
such language from missionary,
saying he had acted strictly according
to Scriptural precept. The missionary
said he would not say another word
If the Boer could justify his act from
the Bible. The Boer thereupon asked
for a Bible and, referring to Deut
14:21, read as follows:
"Ye shall not eat of anything that
dieth of itself; thou shalt give 1t to
the stranger that is within thy gates,
that he may eat it; or thou mayest
sell it unto an alien"
