Nashville will be stirred from cor
ner to corner when this news gets
abroad. It was at one time thought
that this matter had been settled on,
and that the Theological Seminary
would be connected with Roger Will
liams University, but later develop
ments are such as to cause some ap-
preFension. The meeting to be held
in Memphis, it is understood, will be
the last before the National Baptist
Convention, which meets in this city
in September, when it IS believed some
definite step will be taken and Nash
vile will make a strong bid for the
Seminary.

are not serious.

smoke was rising. 1t was the first
onset of a forest fire. The sight ban
ished his thoughts from Elmer's
mind. He galloped hastily toward the
place
The sun rose as he rode, and long
before he. reached the spot the smoke
had become a hell of fame. The
trees, dried by a two-months'
drought, were roaring columns of
fire, and the conflagration was eating
its way as fast as a man could ride,
north, east, west and south. At a
distance of half a mile Elmer refined
in his horse helplessly. It was too
late to save his own home, which
seemed to be the center of the out
break. The villages had, no doubt,
been warned in time. Then-Emn1e-
line.
The flames were spreading all
round the clearing which Watson
held, along the stretch of national
forest which ringed the ranges and
thence stretched away north and
west as far as the eye could see. They
would rush through the long, dry
pastures like the wind and consume
the cabin, sheep, everything in their
path. Already the tree-tops we're leap
ing wires of flame when Elmer drew
bride at Watson's home.
1t was empty. Elmer shouted with
joy. Doubtless the fUgitives had been
warned in time. They must have fed
north along the open range toward
Westwood. And by this path, if he
should hasten, he could still escape
also. He turned his tired nag's head
and spuTTed him relentlessly.
The animal shifted the breeze,
laden with smoke and flying sparks,
and galloped madly for safety. Horse
and rider were as one now in their
desire. But presently a cloud of
smoke rolled down on. them; a ban
ner of flame drifted across their path.
The road was blocked. They were

trate with his eyes the smoky wall
around him.
Then out of the blind smoke came
cry-such a crying as he had heard
that day in the long grasses Of the
range. 1t was Emmeline's voice. 1t
seemed to come out of the smoke
wrack like the cry of child that
seeks its desperate, hope
less and weary. He shouted.
''Emmeline! Emmeline!'
The low cry walled, but not in an
swer. She seemed to be overcome
with some impersonal grief which
rocked nothing of her own safety. FL
mer broke through the singing
smoke mist, plunging madly among
the low shrubs that fringed the burn
ing forests, calling to her. And in
stinct had guided him Alright, for,
though she did not call in answer, he
found her
She was bending over a flame
blackened thing that lay in a little
hollow among the pastures. Elmer
saw at once that Watson was dead.
He learned afterward that as he ran
for safety, oblivious of his wife, a
veering gust had sent the flames to-
ward him and encircled him with fire
before the conflagration resumed its
unopposed march through the trees
again.
Emmeline Watson looked up. She
seemed to come to her senses.

slowly. ct is judgment. He tried to
set fire to your cabin last night and
burn you to death. He fired the cabin
and the forests. But God saved you"
Suddenly the smoke wrack lifted.
A changing wind held back the
flames. Now, before him, Elmer
could see a narrow path, as yet I'M
crossed, that led to the safety of the

none has such an intricate

essential which has contribut-

cess, the Madam easily chose

art. Taking the diseases of
