CHAPTER XIV.

Love and Duty at the Touch.
Thorne's case was now absolutely
hopeless. BY the testimony of two
witnesses a thing is established. All
that Arrelsford had seen Edith had
seen. All that he knew. she knew.
She had only to speak and the plan
had failed; the cleverly constructed
scheme would fall to pieces. His
brothers life would have been wasted,
nay more, his own life also; for well
did he realize that the bold way he
had played the game would the more

ton. A spy in the Confederate capt.

dozen times in the struggle Courage.
adroitness, resourcefulness. and good
fortune had carried him SO far, but
the odds were now heavily against
him and nothing that he could do
would avail him anything. The game
WAS played and he had lost: Arrels-
ford had triumphed.
Thorne. in the one word that Edith
Varney was to speak, would lose life.

risked both. And he would lose more

women of the Confederacy. And he
would lose more than her love. He
would lose her respect. His humila-

SO long as she lived could her mind
dwell on him with tenderness.
His condition was indeed pitiable;
yet, to do him Justice. his thoughts
were not so much for himself as they
were for two other things. First and

CHRISTIAN CHURCH MEETINGS

The rainy weather has greatly hindered the revival now in pro- gresS at the Christian church but in spite of it the audiences have been very good and everything points to this being one of the very best meetings ever held in our city.
 Evan Snodgrass, the leader, is one of the very best in his line. The church here feels that it has secured a prize in getting Evan gelist Snodgrass and wife as is evidenced by many of the com ments heard. They are plung- ing into the work with an energy that argues only success for the outcome. An experienced min ister says of these evangelists, Il have had a wide experience with evangelists and evangeliz- ing and 1 think I know good evangelism and a good evangel- ist. Whoever misses hearing these people will miss a treat. This meeting is going to be a big one."
 Rev Snodgrass is a rapid and forceful speaker. He is unusual ly fluent, and the beauty is he says something worth hearing every time he speaks. He calls things by their right names. He says: "I always aim to speak so every man will understand what 1 have to say. During this meet ing, l shall call a spade a spade. 1 have no time for the modern D. D. who in defining spade would say, a spade is an advan- tageous, benefcent and artistic which is puissantly pushed into the detritus by the of the meta-tarsus bones, 'eXerting a perturbative and disfguring influence upon the ruperhces of terra-frma Don't you know Well, prefer to say spade is spade and so on"
 The services have been very in teresting thus far, and the inter est and attendance will increase, no doubt with each succeeding service. The sermon subject for tonight will be, Every Man on the Job." Mrs. Snodgrass will sing. Everybody is urged to come and help make this meet ing one of the very best ever in the history of our city.
