Cecil, In the broad driveway. was
trying to train his docile little Shet-
land pony into a war-horse; and it was
his efforts in this direction which first
attracted Jack, and challenged his ad-
miration, when the boy in the velvet
suit sat erect in his saddle, and re-
fused to be tossed off into the grass
by the pony, which did not second the
desire for military tactics displayed
by his young master.
1t was Jack who spoke first.
Gee, boy! but you've got the grit,
II you do wear dude clothes" he call
ed out admiringly.
"My name is Cecil" the young rider
replied, with a touch of boyish dig
nifty; and then recognizing the spirit
of the boy who had spoken to him,
he replied as heartily, Il heard a boy
who was passing call you Jack.
Wouldn't you like to come in and see
my pony? You can mount him too, If
you would like it"
And no jumped lightly to the

more, and 1t would be too late. Then
the inspiration came. SEEKING the

with him to the ground, covering him
with his own body; and, as he did so,
there was kissing sound, and the
crash of an explosion, which brought
the inmates of the great house scream
ing to the grounds.
Cecil heard the agonized cry of his
mother, and tried to call to her, and
then drifted away into momentary I'M
consciousness.
They thought at first that both of
the boys were dead; but when they
tenderly lifted Jack, all burned and
blackened by the powder, they found
Cecil unframed, save by the shock;
and, with returning consciousness, his
first thought was for Jack-Jack, who
had saved him from injury at the risk
of his own life.

figure, his slender hands clasped

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success Of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That II
viii Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part Of July last summer will be
interested in the success of the baby
tent" scheme adopted in some Of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fiat roofs Of
tall buildings and in open lots. with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers
Of babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege of sleeping out Of doors, could
also receive the attention Of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some Of the tents have a perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton it greatly reduced the temperar
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
of large blocks Of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some Of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by anyone who
had the welfare of the baby at heart.

THE NEW BATES CHAPEL.
The Corner Stone Laid November 81

The Corner Stone Laid November 9Th.
LEWISTON, Me-, Nov. 6. The laying
of the corner stone this afternoon for
the new Bates chapel marks an i'm
portant epoch in the history of Bates
College. For many years suitable place
to hold chapel services has not been OBJ
tainable, and for evermore Bates will
have one of the nnest cnapels among the
Maine colleges.
The afternoon was warm and ideal for
the occasion, large body OF the students
and alumni attended, surrounding the
foundation of the building.
Invocation was offered by Rev. Arba
John Marsh. pastor of the Court Street
Free Baptist church of Auburn. Presi-
dent Chase then gave brief but COM
plete historical address of the college,
saying that Sc wears ago the first corner
stone of the first Bates College building
was laid. He then outlined with some
detail the progress of the building of
Bates College, which has increased rap
! idly in the last few years. He told of
the continued attempts made to obtain
money for the new chapel, and at last
New York lady, whose name has not
yet been revealed, gave total of $685.
600 dollars for the building, which is to
include one of the best pipe organs that
can be obtained.
Thomas H. Stacy, D. D., pastor of the
Curtis Memorial church, Concord. N. H.,
gave the Grafton. He said in part:
''The cottage shrine has from the first
been given a home in Hawthorne hall
and as the Ark of God blessed the home
of Obed Eden, while permitted to rest
there, SO have the students of Bates
been blessed by the shrine of Hawthorne
hall. - He then congratulated the presi-
dent, faculty and overseers in their work
in finally obtaining the building.
He closed by saying: How much then
will chapel fashioned to inspire wor-
ship, set a part wholly for that purpose,
add to the highest dignity of Bates Col
lege, contribute to the stron yer, deeper,
religious life of the men and women here
and thus the better develop the spirit,
the third part of that Sacred Trinity of
human life. May it not be true that this
building, the corner stone of which we
lay today, completed by the Divine
Presence, shall bear large part in de-
veloping the students of Bates College
for best things, as here in silent COM
munion and utter devotion aspiring souls
shall find the source and object of all
true aspirations? We would have it so. -
The corner stone was then laid by
President Chase, followed by the prayer
of conservation, given by Rev. James A.
Howe, D. D.
The ode and college hymn were then
sung by the student body. The ode was
especially written for the occasion by
Mrs. Mabel S. Merrill, 81.
