Patriotism.

The priest of the Servian Orthodox
church at Wilmerding, Pa. made a
Memorial day address in the town
cemetery last spring At the close Of
his speech in Servian he said in Eng
fish:
81 deem 1t my hottest duty to kiss
this consecrated ground upon which
your heroic ancestors shed their blood,
and in which their bones are laid to
rest. deem it my Christian duty to
offer God a prayer for the repose of
their souls, just as If they we're my
own blood"
Then he kneeled, kissed the ground
and offered a prayer for the repose
of those who died for their father
land. When he arose he said: GLORY
to the dead soldiers, and prosperity
to the American people"
The incident was related by Peter
Roberts, director of the immigration
work for the Y. NJ. G. A, to a group
of Kansas City men at the association
rooms yesterday. 1t emphasizes once
more the fact that Americanism is q
matter of the spirit, not of the blood.

as soon as the others. Maitland with
furious energy at once organized a re-
lief party. They hurried back to the
logs, tore the jam to pieces, searched
1t carefully and found nothing To
drag the lake was impossible. It was
hundreds of feet deep and while they
worked it froze. The weather had
changed some days before. heavy
SHOWS had already fallen; they had to
get out of the mountains without
further delay or else be frozen up to
die. Then and not till then did Matt
land give Up hope. He had refrained
from wiring to Philadelphia. but when
he reached a telegraph line some ten
days after the coudburst, he sent a
long message east, breaking to his
brother the awful tidings
And in all that they did he and
Kirkby, two of the shrewdest and
most experienced of men, showed
with singular exactitude how easy it
is for the wisest and most capable
of men to make mistakes, to leave the
plain trail, to fail to deduce the truth
from the facts presented. Yet it is
difficult to point to a fault in their
reasoning. or to find anything left I'm
done in the search!

car. They went by way of Baltimore
and Philadelphia over the mountains,
along the Southern railway. On sew

About noon of the second day they

quest. If they did not find her there,
they would never do SO. With still

Recognition-or some other more
notent instantaneous force-brought
the woman to a sitting position. The
man drew back to give her freedom
of action, as she lifted herself on her
hands 1t was moments before COM
plete consciousness of her situation
came to her The surprise was yet
too great, she saw things dimly
through a whrI of driving rain, of
rushing mighty wind, of a seething
sea of water, but presently it was all
plain to her again. She had caught
no fair view of the man who had shot
the bear as he splashed through the
creek and tramped across the rocks
and trees down the canon, at least
she had not seen him full face, but
she recognized him Immediately The
thought tinged with color for a mo-
ment her pallid cheek.

feebly, putting her hand to her head
and striving by speech to put aside
that awful remembrance.

And now what is to be done?"

said the man. You need shelter,
food, a fire. Can you walk?"
81 don't know"
Let me help you" He rose to
his feet, reached down to her, took
her hands in the strong grasp Of his
own and raised her lightly to her feet
in an effortless way which showed his
great strength. She did not more
than put the weight of her body
slightly on her left foot when spasm
of pain shot through her, she swerved
and would have fallen had he not
caught her. He sat her gently on the
rock.
my foot" she said piteously. Il
don't know what's the matter with 1t. "
Her high boots were tightly laced
of course, but he could see that her
left foot had been badly mauled or
sprained; already the slender ankle
was swelling visibly. He examined 1t
swiftly a moment. 1t might be a
sprain, it might be the result of some
violent thrust against the rocks, some
whirling tree trunks might have
caught and crushed her foot, but
there was no good in specializing as
to causes, the present patent fact was
that she could not walk; all the rest
was at that moment unlmportant

This unfortunate accident made him
the more anxious to get her to a
place of shelter without delay. 1t
would be necessary to take off her
boot and give the wounded member
proper treatment, For the present
the tight shoe acted as a bandage,
which was well.
When the man had withdrawn him,
self from the world, he had inwardly
resolved that no human being should
ever invade his domain or share his
solitude, and during his long sojourn
in the wilderness his determination
had not weakened. Now his coming
desire was to get this woman whom
