but since he used it as though it was
well established custom, and since
the first acceptable sacrifice was of
1.-The first fruits" an expression that
was associated with the bringing in
of the tithe in the later periods, the
speaker contended that the law of the
1.-THE was given in the beginning just
as was the "law of the sacrifice"
Moses incorporated in his law as ex-
isting before just as he did all the
moral principles, such as "Thou shalt
not kill" etc. Since all blessings
come from God, the 1.-THE is but a
meager return, and this law like the
others was in force before the time
of Moses, and sine enone of these
moral principles were abrogated by
the passing of the Mosaic law, tithing
was still binding this side of the
Cross. Mr.. Holmes then pointed to
the fact that the early church habit
ually practiced tithing under the
Apostolic guidance noted the refer
ences to- systematic giving in their
writings, and then cited historical
proof for the statement that the
church practiced tithing for the first
fifteen hundred years Of its hi story,
only ceasing to follow this law when
the revenues of the church were
turned from their rightful purpose
into the hands OF corrupt politicians
who had succ eeded in getting hold
of the church. Mr.. Holmes said that
the failure of the church to enforce
this law had brought upon 1t all Its
financial troubles which lie at the
root of most of its hindrances. and
that the growth OF this practice In
late years is the greatest hope the
church has for the future.
The Christian church of this city
has a good many tithers, most OF
them taking the "tithers' pledge,
however, since the coming of Mr.
Holmes. The natural result is that
the finances of the church have not
been in better condition for many
years.

NEW YORK'S RHINO
WALKS IN HIS SLEEP
Zoo Keeper Tells How f"Old Smilcs''
Fought Imaginary Foe in
Central Park

New York.-Billy Snyder, the Gen.
trail Park zoo keeper, is rather afraid
that Old Smiles, the mild-mannered
park rhinocerous, has developed the
sleep walking habit. Snyder said as
much as he stood in the animal house
and watched Cid Smiles contentedly
chewing a loaf of bread Snyder had
passed in through the bars of his
cage.
Snyder first observed what he be-
lieves to be the somnambulistic ten
dency of his old friend when in the
dusk OF evening a few days ago he
was making a last round to see that
everything was wei with his charges.
Right here 1t may be mentioned that
Smiles is about 40 years old and came
to this country in 1873. He was ac-
quired by the park in November,
1886, from the w. w. Cole collection
when It was sold in New Orleans, so

CITIZENS PROTEST.
ASSESSMENT PLAN
NOW IN CONGRESS
Federation Objects to AL
legged Discrimina-
h!l ton.

Asserting that Congress is considering
. plan for the improvement of a part
OF Pennsylvania avenue by assessing the
benefits for such improvements against
the adjacent property, and charging
that the existing assessment law dis
eliminates against the eastern section
OF the city in favor OF the northwest,
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons, at a meeting last night, unani-
mously adopted report of protest.
j. @. McGrath, of the Park View AS
sociaton and J. w. Dyre, of the Ia
koma Park Association, were appointed
to draft a bill to repeal the assessment
Tor benefit measure, and providing that
all improvements shall be made upon
the half and half principle.
At meeting of the law and legisla-
hon committee of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday afternoon the same
question was considered. and an amend
ment to the Commissioners bill pro-
viding for the improvements Of the
Anacostia river, so as to assess the
benefit against all property in the Dis
trtct instead of against northeast and
southeast property, was recommended.
The difference between actual benefits
and the cost of the proposed improve
ments was recommended to be paid
Tor on the half and half principle of
appropriation.
The federation also went on record
again as urging the retention in the
District appropriation bill the item in
creasing the pay of street laborers from
.$1.b0 to 81 day.

While Alexandria is now in the throes

been devoid of all personalities and the

while their exponents extoll their re-
spective merits they do so without un-

CHAPTER XIV.

Life at the office went on much the
way 1t had always gone.
In spite Of their high resolve. there
was a very measurable degree OF the
furtlve In their meetings. In. essence.
these meetings were stolen. They did
not ride out brazenly together In the
face of the world. On the contrary,
they met always unobserved, she rid
ing across the many-gated backroao
from Berkeley to meet him halfway.
Nor did they ride or any save unfre'
quented roads. preferring to cross the
second range OF hills and travel among
a church.going farmer folk who would
scarcely have recognized even Day
light from his newspaper photographs.
He found Dede a good horsewoman-
good not merely In riding. but In en-
DURANGO. There were days when they
covered sixty. seventy. and even
eighty miles; nor did Dede ever claim
any day too long. nor-another strong
recommendation to Daylightvdid the

His lifelong fear OF woman had orig
mated out OF Misunderstanding and
had also prevented him from reaching
any understanding. Dede on horse
back, Dede gathering peoples on a
summer hillside. Dede taking down
dictation in her swift shorthand
strokes-all this was comprehensive
to him. But he did not know the
Dede who so quickly changed from
mood to mood. the Dede who refused
steadfastly to ride with him and then
suddenly consented. the Dede IN
whose eyes the golden glow forever
waxed and waned and whispered
hints and messages that were not for
his ears. In all such things he saw
