Precautions Taken to Prevent Act OF
Vandalism - Church Head Be-
lieved In Admonltion, "Pray,
but Keep Your Powder Dry"

Boston.-The tomb of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy in Mount Auburn GENE
terry Is being guarded carefully day
and night. to protect It from possible
vandals, by four armed guards Sc
lected by the directors of the Chris
tan Science church In Boston. The
guards are members of the Christian
Science church and are known to be
Of entirely trustworthy character.
Certain members of the First Church
Of Christ Scientist of New York city
have protested against the mainten-
ance of an armed guard, but this Is
being ignored. The protest sets forth
that the action of the directors Is
comparable to that of the authorities
OF Jerusalem, who set guard at the
tomb of Jesus Christ They contend
that the placing of an armed guard
shows lack of faith.
The guards work in pairs with two
shifts of IL hours each. 1t has been
generally understood that they live
while on duty shut up in the tomb.
This is not necessary II they do not
desire to do so. If the weather per-
mits and they prefer 1t the guards
remain outside the tomb near enough
to keep it in plain view.
Neither do the men take any meals
In the tomb unless they desire to do
so. Sometimes when the weather is
severe the guards carry their lunch
con with them and eat in the tomb
The men sleep at their homes, where
they have at least two meals each IL
hours.
e good deal of the time the guards
while on duty remain in a small wood

was trying to estimate this somber
and fantastic lad, whose impenetrable
stclidity puzzled him. Himself flu

under the smart of defeat and fail

transfer instantly his interest to the
study of thing new to him. 1t was
like him, too, to have conceived and
risked all upon this last message to
a poor. crazed fanatico cruising about
with his grotesque uniform and his
farcical title. But his companions
had been at their wits end; escape
had seemed incredible; and now he
was pleased at the success of the
plan they had called crack-brained
and precarious.
The brief, tropic twilight seemed to
slide swiftly into the pearly splendor
of moonlit night. And now the
lights of Solitas appeared, distributed
against the darkening shore to their
right. The admiral stood. silent, at
the tiller; the Caribs, like black pan
theirs held the sheets, leaping noise
lessly at his short commands. The
three passengers were watching in
tently the sea before them, and
when at length they came in sight of
a steamer lying a mile out from the
town, with her lights radiating deep
into the water, they held sudden
voluble and close-headed converse
The sloop was speeding as If to strike
midway between ship and shore.
The large man suddenly separated
from his companions and approached
the scarecrow at the helm.

admiral, there is business of moment
afoot. The steamer lying there is the

be conveyed to her, where we are sent

There is a door in one side. Through
