"Bless your heart, not in thou

some ways, and they know it."
And SO it proved to be. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Mortimer greeted them at
| the pier in Hoboken. One glance at
the face of the girl was sufficient. Mrs.
Mortimer held out her arms. 1t was
very fine thing to do.
"I was in doubt at first" she said
frankly. George is so guileless. But
to look at you, my child, would scatter
the doubts of Thomas. Will you

little while?" with wise and tender
smile.
Shyly Fortune accepted the en-

In whisper.
"That he loved you and wanted me
to mother you against that time when
he might have the right to take you
as his own. Has he that right?"
"Yes. And oh! he is the bravest
and tenderest man know; and below
it all he is only boy"
Mrs. MoMimer patted her hand. A
little while later all four went over
to the city and drove uptown to the
Mortimer home. On the way Fortune
told her story, simply, without avoid,
ing any essential detail. And all her
new mother did was to put an arm
about her and draw her closer.
The Mortimer home was only three
blocks away from Georges. So, when
dinner was over, George declared that
he would run over and take look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
about the rooms bit, to fancy how
it would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour. He had forgotten
many things, ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
and cook, who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for a moment to contemplate the
great banking concern. And the pres
ident of this bank was the elder

The scene Of Christ healing the lepers as pre-
sented at Hiva-oa. is, perhaps, the most realistic
tabeau in one particular at least that is staged
in any of the passion plays. Real lepers appear
on the stage.
In the early days of the play the parts OF the
lepers were taken by entirely whole and healthy
people, but the missionaries never able to
make the people understand why, with SO many
genuine lepers ready at hand any make believe
in this particular need be INDUCED in Finally
several of the lepers themselves, Christian con-
verts came to the fathers and asked what was
the of curing a lot of we'll people in the
play when there were so many sick people about
who really needed curing? The upshot of the
matter was that half dozen lepers al
lowed upon the stage at the next performance.
Following the week of the play it is said that
very marked Improvement evident for
several months in the condition OF every
OF the unfortunates that appeared upon the
stage. Since then the missionaries have not
had the heart TO refuse the prayers of any OF
those who have come to them at Easter, until
it is necessary to divide the lepers into
squads of a score more each and allow diff
ferent squad to appear each night. The govern
ment doctor at Hiva-oa has declared that there
has been a marked decrease in the eper
tally of the island since this practice has been
inaugurated.
One of the most interesting characters in the
play is the Judas. From the first it has been
the aim of the fathers to impress the natives as
strongly as possible with the real goodness or
badness Of the various characters of the play,

and to this end in the case OF Judas the men
who have played the role have been repeatedly
taken on a temporary reprieve from the convict
settlement Judas has always been literally a
bad and 1T is recorded that less than
half dozen OF him have endeav ored to steal the
thirty pieces of silver-in this case Mexican dol
Iars-with which he has been bribed. OF late
years the fathers have removed the temptation
by binding the bargain with bagful OF broken
crockery. which provides the necessary jingle at
less risk.
