II. LOUIS, COOPERATIVE CLUB
rrades Of All Kinds Taught Cratic
in This Church school.


The Rev. Elihu F. Harris, pastor OF
the Clifton Heights Christian Church,
was busy in overalls Wednesday pack
Ing up the effects of the Robertson
Printing Company preparatory to
transferring them 10 the basement of
his church, the st. Louis Republic
says.
There the plant will be set up and
used as one of the educational branches
of the Society of Applied Christianity,
of which DR.. Harrie is national super
intendent.
For more than year the society has
conducted a night school in the church
basement, teaching several scores OF
pupils various trades and along gen.
eral educational lines.
The idea, according to DR.. Harris, is
entirely cooperative, the students be.
ing admitted to the classes free Of
charge to the members of the society
From this fund a sick benefit is set
aside, the remainder going to main
tain the night school,
The instructors are members of the
congregation, who serve without re-
Enumeration.
Dr. Harris came here from Colorado,
where he organized sixteen chapters
of the society. That at the Clifton
Heights church is the only one east
of Colorado.
I'VE work entirely in a spirit of
brotherly love, Dr. Harris said.
There are thousands of young people
who wish to advance themselves, but
lack the opportunity. Our desire is
to furnish the opportunity. We have
received no endowments and keep the
work going ourselves There is very
little expense attached, as our instruct
ors are men and women who do the
work through a Christian and chart
table spirit. In the community of
Clifton Heights there are hundreds OF
boys and girls who work in the down
town stores and have no opportunity
to learn. We find that these people
flock to our school as soon as they hear
about it.
I'VE are going to start a class in
stenography soon. We expect to keep
the printing plant going by the work
of our apprentices. These apprentices
will, of course, receive no pay until
they develop themselves into workmen
of value. Most of our printing will be
done at night
DR.. Harris is not afraid of work or
dirt. The dust and dirt on his overalls
showed his determination.

Rouge, cold cream. and savory rice
powders were jumbled in sore disorder
with the collars and cleaned and soiled
handkerchiefs. Even a silk stocking,
small of foot and delicately green of
tint, had found resting place upon
the neat linen cover of the bureau.
The woman's clothing, all of the rich

big chair. A large travelling case OF

The policeman swerved his head.
And there, grinning into his face, with
rick Doherty- saw the most hideous
apparition mortal men might conjure
out OF the depths of delirium, most
fearful and terrible object.
Neither gorilla, nor ape, nor man.
nor demon, was this thing 1t was all

grinned and smirked at Doherty.
Doherty pulled his pistol. He aimed
at tho thing. Then he shut his eyes
and staggered to the hall, blind with
the flash and crazed with fright. At
the door he looked back. The Thing,
grinning even behind the veil of
smoke, was standing motionless where
Doherty had been and beside 1t were
the two letters addressed to Miss
Cerisse Wayne. The report OF the
pistol had called Pierre Desterle from
his wife's side.
"Patreeck. Patreeck," he cried
I'm coming. 1t is Pierre. What is
it?"
Pierre was mounting the top stair
when Doherty leaned over the banis-
tiers and pushed him back.

Send to the station. Tell them quick
the dog catcher-a riot call-hurry
hurry"
The Frenchman saw the Irishman's
rosy face now white as chalk and his
sunken eyes. The Thing within
Cerisse Wayne's room began jibbering
again. The policeman threw the
frightened Desterle down stairs and
waited in awful fear till help should
come.

CHAPTER II.


AS the F1ftieth street police station
was only a block from the OBSTETRICS
the squad drawn out by Pierre's hys-
terical summons had little time and
less opportunity for speculation as
they traversed this distance. The tacit
sentiment prevailing was that either
Desterle was drunk or that Doherty
was sprung bit in the head"
What's the matter, PATTI" asked
Monahan. grabbing the palsied Doher-
ey by the shoulder while a dozen more
officers piled into the little hall and
overfiowed into the front room.
Riot call for a suicide!" sneered
Finn, who had always hated Doherty,
and who, the first to cross the thresh-
old had been the first among them to
discover the body. Say. but she's a
locker, anyhow, and What's that?
What's thatT shrieked Finn.
The Thing. which had been covering
behind a chair. had arisen and stepped
out before the policemen. Doherty's
fright was fleeing 80 he led the squad,
and they advanced. The duel between
the ono and the dozen now began.
They dubbed at it, they shot at it,
they srasped at it, but blows, shots,
Strive as they would 1t eluded them
They herded 1t into their midst and
round and round the room the strange
struggle went on. The table was
overturned and the bowl of yiolets
struck against the shade of the falling
drop light with an eerie crash. Sud
denly the pursued turned pursuer
