struck YOU and mangled your mothers
name. The law ought to Judge you, as
Howard said; but I'd save you from the
law for all that, if | could. You speak of
peace of mind-if | give you up, I'll never
have it again. But you will not be saved
against your WILL SO there's nothing to do
but to shield you as much as | may. Per-
haps, when you come to trial, it may stand
you in good stead to have given yourself up.
This she said SO tenderly, Timothy, that
it almost cracked the heart within me- and
my own tongue began to culver. Young
woman, you have saved me already is what
said, by what you are and by what you
say and by what you do. Day after day
I've seen you coming to the well, and at
night the thought of you worked upon me
and did its healing I've climbed out of the
want to fall back again. There's nothing
left for me to do but to surrender

outer quiet and beauty of the land, with
the moon new risen, and the deeper, inner
quiet that came to me then! In the shadow
of her fathers house, in the darkness Of
cypress arbor close by the sheds of the ami
mails, she whispered:
"Give me your hand!' and so led me out
of the maze upon the wide white road to
the village-a saint leading felon unto
Justice, and the felon happy to go. Never
a word we spoke. I'd have taken the touch
of the halter round my neck for the sweet
clasp once more of her hand over mine.
'She made me open the gate of the mag
istrate's house, ring the bell, and tell him
out of my own mouth that I'd come to de-
liver myself into his hands. She would in
no wise stain her own hands or her lips with
the matter of my surrender. When the
old magistrate came to the door, | said:
I'm the Griffiths that killed Wyatt
Jallers at the Orrnuz mines, and I've come
to give myself up to the law!'
1.-THE old man was eaten with fear at
sight and hearing of me; but l spoke him
fair, and there was Cornelia like guardian
spirit beside me. The magistrate called his
three big sons and let me in. We stood
round the lamp in his Office.

How the Eddy Tomb Is Guarded.

the outer room of the receiving vault.
The little room is about ten feet long
eight feet wide and seven feet high
There is a door in one side. Through
a tiny square window fitted with a
slide the guards may look through the
grated inner doors into the catacombs
Through an opposite window of the
same kind they may gaze toward the
outer door of the vault.
The receiving vault is 25 feet wide,
about twice as deep and divided into
two compartments. To reach the
outer compartment one goes through
a decorated double gate of metal The
caskets are placed on either side of
the long room with a corridor be-
tween them about ten feet in width.
The vault has a capacity of so cas-
kets. Just how long the casket of Mrs.
Eddy Will remain there has not yet
been determined, but the guards will
stay as long as the casket remains.
This precaution on the part of the
Christian Science church." said one
Of the members, is in keeping with
the usual wisdom of that body and
sxemplifies the fact that Christian
Scientists are rational.
In this world every sensible person
takes reasonable precaution. Mrs.
Eddy was careful and was noted for
her foresight. She believed in fire
Insurance and approved of every BUSH
ness and personal safeguard. She evil

Pray, but keep your powder dryl'
I'm the matter of guards for Mrs.
Eddy's tomb, every sensible person

ialism which have in the past been
perpetrated after the deaths of noted
persons would justify this precaution.
No doubt the directors felt that
they would be derelict in their trust
II they did not safeguard the remains
Of Mrs. Eddy.
The directors adopted what seemed
the simplest and most effective way of
doing IT,"

FOR COUNTRYWIDE MOVE
Foes Of Tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 80 has been set aside this year
as Tuberculosis Day." and will be OBJ
served in 100000 churches In the
country In a manner similar to that
Of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910
when 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement of the
occasion, made by the National Asso
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis, the leaders of the
movement state that they hope to en-.
list all of the 100000 church mem
bers in the country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association is going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 80, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What we want" says Mr.. Living
ston Farrand, executive secretary of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, in a
citation for the study and prevention
report on this movement, 'is to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 100000 churches

Four Armed Men Watch Body Of
Dead Scientist Leader.
Precautions Taken to Prevent Act Of
Vandalism = Church Head Be-
Iieved in Admonition, spray,
but Keep Your Powder Dry"

Boston.-The tomb OF Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy In Mount Auburn ceme-
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
tian 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 a 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. It 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. II the weather per-
mits and they prefer it the guards
remain outside the tomb near enough
to keep 1t 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.

HEREDITARY PAUPERiSM.

A very careful Investigation has
been recently made in England with
view to determining by scientific in
curry how far pauperism might he
dealt with as a transmissible and
hereditary evil The investigat ton
goes to show that pauperism tends to
recur In successive generations of the
same family, says tho Philadelphia
Record. 1t is propasated in large de
gree by free unions among unmarried
persons Of moral feebleness and con-
sequent illegitimacy. as shown by
backward examination Of pedigree.
Paupers appear to prefer pauper al
hances. The resulting inbreeding
tends to the perpetuaticn of degen.
crates. Much, Of course, may be due
to environment as a consequence of
nerding paupers together in poor
houses or warehouses; provided at the
public expense, but II heredity be a
dominating factor In producing and
reproducing through succeeding gen.
erations definite pauper stock, with
q native incapacity to live in any
other way except an social parasites,
the laws should be shaped so far as
possible to bring about a means of
prevention. There should be sex sep.
aration in so far as such a rule could
be enforced by state authority. We
take great pains to secure the propa-
ganda Of healthy and superior breeds
OF domestic animals. There seems to
be no sound reason for a failure to
protect ourselves as far as we may
against the deterioration Of the hui
man stock.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot
ton Of the results of four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since | can remember we hax
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and l myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
Il know it was that, because when
| would leave it off for few days /
would feel better. But it was hard to
give 1t up, even though realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last | found a perfectly easy
way to make theschange. Four years
ago l abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also in.
fuenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from Indigestion.
and my nerves are in admirable tone

That Essential Struoole

There are men who go through life
without ever getting what one would
call throw-down or set-back-they
never get to know what it means to
face rough or tough weather. Their
way is slicked and paved. They seem
to miss the one great essential thing
In every SUCCESSIVE struggle; days
when everything looks as though one
Is about done for and ready to cave in.
