on all fours through the bushes tinkling the bell

and nearer the gendarmes he came, but he Just
went boldly on in the dark, acting the goat" to
such good purpose that the unsuspecting SEN
tinels merely thought that an old goat was eating
its way along among the bushes in the erratic
way goats have. So Bellacoscia passed right
through the guarding gendarmes and clean away.
When morning dawned the certain capture was
not effected. and Bellacoscia free to give
trouble in the future. Another time he
was flying from capture, the gendarmes close on
his heels, when he found the way blocked by
river in flood. and escape seemed impossible
Every minute his pursuers were gaining. He
could not cross, and to go back meant certain
capture. Again his wits saved him. He scram-
bed down to the marshy banks of the river where
there were some dark. reedy pools cut hollow
reed put one end in his mouth and sank himself
down into the Shiny black water till he was
completely covered with only the broken end
of the reed projecting into the air. and through
this he breathed in comfort The gendarmes
came rushing down to the river where a mo-
ment before they had seen the fugitive but now.
when they reached the place Bellacoscia
gone-cean vanished, as II he had been spirited
away, and they went back to report that "the
devil had certainly got him for he had undoubt-
edly been there, he had never gone away and he
certainly was not there now!"
Towards evening we reached Evisa, happy
little village rejoicing in a grand position, and
well worth visit. II 1t were only to see the
view looking down the gorge to the Gulf Of Porto
that alone would be worth the journey. Just be-
fore the forest of Aitone commences one should
leave the road and scramble across field to q

a sight that must equal many of the finest pros
poets in the world for majestic beauty. An i'm

mountains extends below crowned at the end by
that king of them all. Cappo d'Orto. and away
beyond lies the blue sea, all hazy and soft in the
distance. While standing on the rocky projection

Bird Carries Burning Stub to Nest,

Valparaiso, Ind.-A smoldering Gig

campus the other day set fire to the
structure and almost resulted in its
destruction. 1t was only through
strenuous efforts on the part of the
fire company and the students that
the building, an old landmark, was
saved.
The belfry is used by large num-
Der of sparrows as a place to build
their nests. One of the students
threw lighted cigarette on the camp
us and an inquisitive bird searching
for something with which to line her
nest. picked 1t up and few to the
tower. A few minutes later students
passing the building saw several of
the nests ablaze and the birds were
flying and screaming.
The fire company was summoned.
but by the time it arrived the tow
er had caught fire from the nests. and
famed by stiff breeze, the flames
threatened the entire structure. On
account of the height of the tower
the fight against the flames was
hard one, but REINFORCED by a num-
ber Of students, the fire company final

IN THE H|MALAYAS
Preaching the Gospel to People
of the Hill Country.
Rev. William Greet Tells Of Work He
and His Wife Accomplished
Amongst Tehri and
Hlndi Men.

Another report of adventure, toll,
and conquest comes from the Tehri
Border Village mission among the
Himalaya mountains. where Rev. VIII.
liam Greet and his wife are carrying
the gospel message to the people of
the hill country.
The past seasons touring" writes
Mr.. Greet, "totaled up more than that
of any previous season, and included
reaching into some new country. One
of my first trips away from our fam
lily camp, after the writing Of our last
letter, was to see poor old Prema at
Nauta. There he sat by the little wa
ter-mill, blind and very helpless, try
ing to care for the peoples -four. In
the judgment of some who have lately
seen him, he seems a believer.
I'VE returned to our home in Janu-
airy for few weeks and then went
out again to stay till April. This
time we pushed forward at once to
Devasari, a neighborhood Of many
villages which last season we we're
prevented from reaching. We pitched
our camp on the edge of pine wood
and close to a small ravine, on the
other side of which lay long line of
villages. Close by our tent was the
temple to which. on special occasions.
the people gathered from all sides.
My memory goes back many years
to some remarkable results from the
very first visits to simple villagers in
the plains who accepted Christ at once
and stood faithful till death, but gen.
orally where people are laid hold of, 1t
is after continued presentation Of
the truth. A most encouraging thing
during our touring in the hills this
past springtime was the extent to
which the truth of the Gospel was ad-
mitted by man who has served US
for years, but had always passively re-
sisted all we said. He sat with me at
the close Of hot journey up a long
gorge to a village, where we found
only one man, lad and a child at
home. We conversed under the shade
OF an apricot tree, concerning the Way
Of Life and other ways, and at the
close our man, who has nearly always
boasted Of the superiority of his own
religion, said to the village man, We
shall have to come to it, This religion
will win its way everywhere and all
will at some time have to yield, will
ingly or unwillingly.'

has thereby broken the French law and is COM
PEELED to take to the "maquis" to hide from the
gendarmes as well as from the relations of the
man he has killed. In a country 30 rough as this
the gendarmes have a very poor chance. and
many exciting tales are told of their encounters
with the bandits On one occasion when old
Bellacoscia. the renowned bandit, was hard
pressed the gendarmes managed to get him into
a ravine from which there no outlet but the
entrance, and there he was, trapped with the
gendarmes guarding the approach. 1t was late
evening, and they felt so confident of getting
their quarry that they thought 1t safe to wait
till morning to close in upon him and make an
easy capture. So they set themselves to watch
the entrance through the night and make their
capture at dawn. Things must have looked black
for Belacoscia that night he waited in the
dark. the stiffness only broken by the tinkling
bells of the goats that we're feeding among the
maquis. But he was OF resource and
as he waited there an idea occurred to him. An

WHY THE GERMANS LEAD.

In the FatherIand.

An American manufacturer who had wondered
at the success Of his German competitors was
struck by certain big. flaming, oficial-looking
posters on the billboards and around public build

posters dn every city and town in Germany.
Twice year these Official posters summon the
