much on fighting anyhow, and you can
just bet he will thank his lucky stars
that we kept an eye on him so long
as his pony was in sight"
While this conversation was going
on young Thorpe was just disappear
ing around the last bend of the road
ahead that led to Ruckford. Suddenly
the woods seemed filled with noisy.
clamoring Ruckford boys. Tony,
Sandy, Billy Jordan and all the rest
of the boys were suddenly pounced
upon by whole band of Ruckfordites.
To fight was in vain, and soon they
found themselves tied hand and foot
and staring into the faces of those
dreaded Rockford boys known as the
Terrible Terriers"
We'll. now. what are you going to
do with u.s." ventured Sandy under
meath the weight of three Ruckford
boys, who calmly sat upon his chest
and legs.
"Ah, you know. we haven't decided
that yet; we are just studying up
something real interesting and excit-
ing" responded the boy who sat upon
his chest.
Bennie. who had proved an easy pris-
oner, was not treated quite so badly as
the others; in fact the boys were
rather inclined to let him go. Hes SO
small and tiny" remarked Beetles,
their leader. II say, let him go, cause
you know we might hurt him and we
don't want to do that, he's apt to cry"
But when Bennie was thus given his
dismissal he refused to go. mo, sir"
he ventured to say, II ain't going, and

step until you give us boys chance to
fight our way out" At this sally the

filled the woods with merriment. isn't

terrible leader. He's a regular little

ground and looked for all the world
like little gamecock.
While Beetles stood hesitating to
know what to do with him the sound Of
Gathering hoofs were heard coming up
the road. and before they could guess
what it was young Thorpe dashed into
their midst on "Bunnie." Leaping
from his pony, he rushed up to Billy
Jordan, the boy rearest to him, and cut
the cords that bound his hands and
feet. This action on the part Of Mark
so angered the leader OF the "Terrible
Terriers" that he sprung toward him
and struck at him with his fists, but
Bill Jordan was too quick for him. He
had already jumped behind Beetles and
was just in time TO stop the blow, and
Immediately the two of them were
graphing together. The superior
strength of Billy Jordan quickly told
and soon he had his opponent over
powered and bound hand and foot with
the same cords that but a few minutes
before had bound himself. When the

more consideration until our little
contest has taken place"
They all agreed it would be best to
go in body to Ruckford, which they
did. but no further mishap occurred,
and when they reached the appointed
place Beetles was there to meet them.
AT last the day arrived for the big
encounter Or rush" This latter term
Muriel Ray and her girl cousins from
the city liked to call it, for 1t sounded
like the college contests that Muriel
had seen once or twice when visiting
her fashionable relatives In Berkeley
The Blue Slide rush" was to begin at
z o'clock p. m. sharp. Long before
noon the south slope of Pickles hill
was dotted with gayly dressed men,
women. boys and girls-for all Of the

dozens, and their aunts, to say moth

side Of the Blue Slide" it's entire
length to keep the people of Yarrow
and Ruckford separated until after the
contest. Those who had the contest in
charge thought it would be best to do
this so as to prevent, as far as pos
sible, any strife breaking out between
some Of the more enthusiastic and too
demonstrative of the opposing sup
porters.
There was the winsome Muriel
dressed in the blue of Yarrow and her
stylish city cousins, who, though only
few years older than herself, wore
long dresses, with such wonderful
skirts. The bellies of Ruckford and
Yarrow all made mental notes of these
latest fashions. One cousin wore hob

and 1t was easily seen that the Ruck-
ford boys outnumbered the Yarrow
boys almost two to one, the different
colors that they wore throwing them
into prominence. The Ruckford bows
wore red sweaters and the Yarrow
boys blue. This had been decided upon
several weeks before, by the commit

meeting held at Yarrow Some of the

Better be without shoes than sit with wet feet;
Children if healthy. active, not still;
Damp beds and damp clothes will both make you ill;
Eat slowly and always chew your food we'll; -
Freshen the air in the house where you dwell;

Homes should be healthy, airy and light;
If you wish to be we'll, you do, I've doubt,
Just open your windows before you go out.
Keep your rooms always tidy and clean;
Let dust the furniture never be SEEM
Much illness is caused by the want of pure air;
Now to open the windows be your care
Old rags and old rubbish should be kept;
People should see that their floors we'll swept.
Quick movements in children healthy and right;
Remember the young cannot thrive without llght
See that the cistern is clean to the brim;
Take that your dress is all tidy and clean;
Use your to find if there is bad drain;
Very sad the fevers that come in its train;
Walk much you can, without feeling fatgue
Xerxes could walk full many league;
Your health your wealth. which your wisdom keep;

Convicts Escape
from Workhouse

Two inmates of the Mercer County
Workhouse at Moore's Station, made
desperats attempt to escape early Tues
day afternoon amid shower OF bullets
from the revolvers of the guards, and
one made his successful getaway, while
the other was captured after chase Of
about mile.
The convict who gained his freedom
was William jackson, colored, while
the one who failed in his attempt was
Delevan Rogers, of Trenton, who is
serving term of IS month for embez-
Element.
The break was probably one of the
most daring that has ever been attemp-
ted at the institution, as it was made in
plain view Of nearly all the guards and
at the risk Of bling shot down in their
tracks. 1t occurred about I o'clock
after'the men had marched from the
Workhouse buildings to the qnarries.
Over hundred of the convicts were in
line and werelunder the eyes Of several
Of the guards, while the remainder were
taking their stations before the men
were set to work. Wilson and Rogers
suddenly bolted from the line and DASH
ed down the road, and an instant later
a fusilade Of bullets followed them.
None of them struck their marks, how
ever, and the fugitives continued their
flight undaunted.

@ but ne Is not a great philosopher who
mas not learned the secret of smiling
and waiting. A great MANY peonIe
can smile at difficulties who cannot
wait; who lacks patience; but the man
VINO can both smile and wait if he has

! Spanish prime minister, in 80 author
| lied statement. recently declared: ''As
in all countries there shall be in Spain
Protestant churches and even syna-
| gogues which ought to be able to bear
upon their walls the insignia denoting
the character of their creed And
against this, clericalism, in the full
flush of the twentieth century, OBJ
jects.'
To which Current Literature (Au-
gust nummber), basing its conclusion
on the Paris Temps. says: What the
Vatican objects to is not the display
of the emblems, but the language of
the edict authorizing them, which, by
implication, denies that the national
church of Spain is Holy, Roman, Cath
olic and Apostolic
This is evidence that the non-Catho-
lie press of the country seems by no
means disposed to swallow Canalejas'
Interpretation.
Let it be understood once and for ALI
time that there are only two divisions
as regards religion in Spain Nearly
all of the Spanish people are Catholic:
almost all those who are not are athe-
lists The sectarians are q negligible
quantity, and it is not for an instant
to be supposed that Canalejas would
upset the Spanish government for a
mere handful of people, who, by the
way, are entirely Indifferent no matter
what the outcome may be- 1t may be j
stated here that the Encyclopedia of
Missions makes no mention of Spain. |
In the Blue Book of Missions" sta
tistics regarding the operations OF |
American Missionary societies in Eu- |
ropean countries, it appears that there |
are three native workers (and these |
under the Baptist Missionary union) |
with three places of regular worship, |
and total of one hundred and thir-
teen communicates. And from the re-
port of the American Board of Foreign
ii appears that there are six
twenty-eight native
workers. seventeen places of regular
and three houndred and thir-
ty-eight communicates Though wo
reckon the members of the various
sects as tens of thousands, they are not
the crux of the present situation. as

lieve.
