At the same time she noticed that
he glanced alternately at the clock
and the door. AS the former struck

somewhat to her surprise, whispered

a visiting card was handed her, upon
which. under a fanciful coronet, was
inscribed in Gothic characters the
name Nzcheydki. Beneath this was
written in pencil, "In the name OF
the Baroness de Sainte-Epave.'
In the dim light of the drawing
room she perceived, standing in an
embarrassed way, a small, thin gen.
tleman, whose long hair fell care
lessly on his n6ck. In his hands he
held a hat which sadly needed brush

Sketch Of the Organization Of Benevolent and Protective Order Of ES


mean which evades each perilous ex-
IRENE.
Half Million Membership.
While the first lodge was started in
New York city, Feb. 1s. 1883, It was
four years before another was estab-
tished. No. 2 was in Philadelphia.
Since then the order has spread to ev-
cry state In the union. Towns Of
5000 are entitled ito lodge. The to-
tai membership is now over 100000
and the total number Of lodges is Owe
1900.
It's Charities.
One Of the greatest features OF the
b. p. %. e. is the relief extended to
those ia distress. The work is done
quietly and unostentatiousiy. Even
members of the lodge frequently do
not know the names Of the beneficial
ries. The organized work of the order
shows that there is spent every day
more than $1,000 in this relief work
and the unknown and unrecorded con-
tributions will make more than thai
amount additional.
Membership Requirements.
Membership is restricted to white
American citizens of 81 years of age
or upwards and no lodge can be in
stituted in a city or town of less than
5000 inhabitants; nor can more than
one lodge be organized in any city.
Ali that is required of members is
that they believe In the brotherhood Of
man and that they put their belief in
to practice. Rank and title count
for nothing; neither is it necessary
that the applicant be learned. Nor is
wealth q condition precedent to enter
ing the organization. All are equal
and all are alike within the precincts
of the lodge and social rooms Of this
order; and members differ only as they
strive to excel in the practice of char
ity, and in the extending Of the same
without display or boast. When the
society goes forth to do charity, IL
does so without os~tentation or the
bIare Of trumpets. The right hand
never knows what the left hand is do
ing when charity is the order of busi-
ness.
Charity consists, according to the
view Of EIkdom, not alone in giving Of
this worlds goods, but in extending
as well a word of encouragement to
falterlng and in holding out a hand of
rescue to the fallen and distressed.
Grand Lodge Sessions.
For the first twenty-five years Of its
history the grand lodge, as the annual
meetings of the brotherhood are
known, met in New York city. The
great increase in the number Of lodges
throughout the United States then
made it apparent that better results
would be obtained by holding the an
nual session at different places, and in
1890 the grand lodge met in Cleveland
o., to be followed the next year at
Louisville and the following year at

hollow-eyed avarice that is SO intent
on gain and gold that it leaves no time
for the symmetrical evolution Of those
sparkling qualities without which
manhood becomes a failure. But,
while steering clear Of this Scylla, the
tenets of IElkdom also avoid the yawn-

Continuing to grow in numbers and
financial strength, steps were taken
for placing the, new society on a more
enduring basis than that OF the first
crude beginning. It seemed necessary
to secure a more dignifed title than
the one first adopted, and the proper
selection became a matter of grave
! consideration. The members Of the
committee to select a new name were

capitalists who with a touch like the
magician's wand have developed des-

linked together in the prosecution of
the noble work of elevating humanity
to higher planes and grander views.
