have more to do than to consume all
their time to discuss the length of the
carpet, or whether the color scheme in
the pastors study should be in the old

department each auxiliary is interested
in every phase of life in their own city

People Deeply Grateful
The medical authorities have forbidden
the use of old clothing until after they
shall have been fumgated. 1t is urged
upon the general public that old cloth

pestilence in some form to city unable

is pointed out that while the people of
Dayton are deeply grateful for the mu-
nificence of the nation. such contributions
as may be intended for the relief of the
sufferers should not be of such a nature
that disease might add TO the horror of
the situation.
An interesting result of the disaster
here is the possibility, pointed out oy
several members of the organization in
command of the situation that Dayton
may never again resume its former sys-
tenn of municipal government.

CHAPTER XII. (continued.)

She was enchanted with her in

again
This" she said, is a happiness
that will harm no one"
Raoul jumped at the idea. He
bowed to Christine and said:
''Mademoiselle, have the honor to
ask for your hand"
why, you have both of them al
ready, my dear betrothed!
Oh, Raoul, how happy we shall be!
We must play at being en-
gagged all day long"
1t was the prettiest game in the
world and they enjoyed it like the
children that they were Oh, the
wonderful speeches they made to each
other and the eternal vows they ex-
changed! They played at hearts as
other children might play at ball;
only, as it was really their two hearts
that they flung to and fro, they had
to be very, very handy to catch them,
each time, without hurting them.
One day, about a week after the
game began, RaouPs heart was badly
hurt and he stopped playing and ut
tered these wild words

that he would not go on the North

him the secret of the mans voice

And Christine's eyes stared wildly
at everything around her.
L will remove you from his power,
Christine, l swear it. And you shall

She allowed herself this doubt,
which was an encoura cement, while
dragging the young man up to the
tOpmOst floor of the theater, far, very
far from the trap-doors.
Il shall hide you in some unknown
corner of the world, where he can
not come to look for you. You will be
safe; and then | shall go away
as you have sworn never to marry"
Christine seized Raours hands and
squeezed them with incredible rap
ture. But, suddenly becoming alarmed
again, she turned away her head.

They were soon under the very roof,
in the maze of timber-work. They
slipped through the buttresses, the
rafters, the joists; they ran from
beam to beam as they might have
run from tree to tree in a forest.
And, despite the care which she
took to look behind her at every mo-
ment, she failed to see a shadow
which followed her like her own
shadow which stopped when she
stopped, which started again when
she did and which made no more
noise than well-conducted shadow
should. AS for Raoul, he saw moth

Biologists Have Offered Several The
cries to Account for This Singular
Phenomenon.

About forty miles from Flagstaff.
Ariz., in the midst of great plain,
there is a saucer-shaped hollow about
three-quarters of mile across and
600 feet deep. The rim OF this strange
crater rises between $50 and zoo feet
above the surrounding plain Rocky
fragments are scattered for several
miles around the crater Among these
rocks many fragments OF meteor1c
iron, some containing minute black
diamonds, have been found. The In
ner walls show that the crust OF the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed; yet no volcanic rocks exist
there. Biologists have offered seVerai
theories to account for this singular
phenomenon. One is that an immense
meteorite made the hole, and that the
meteoric fragments just mentioned are
remnants of the falling star. Anotnef
theory ascribes the origin OF the era
