From the hundred members OF the

CHAPTER III.
On the Eoot.Bridue.

To the young usher, the change of
scene was rather bewldering. His
eyes were still full of the light from
gasolene-burners, his ears still rang
with the confusion of tent-nose into
which entered the prolonged mono.
tones Of inarticulate groanings, and
the explosive suddenness of seemingly
irreverent Amens.
Nothing just then mattered except
the saving OF souls. Having faithfully
attended the camp-meeting for three
weeks he found other interests blot
ted out. The village as a whole had
given itself over TO religious ecstasy.
Those who had professed their faith
left no stone unturned in leading 9TH

been told that one reaps what one
sows, uneasy memory started out of
hidden places with it's whisper Of seed
sown amiss. Tears rose TO many eyes,
and smothered sobs betrayed intense
emotion
OF those who were not in the least
affected, Fran was one. She saw and
heard Hamilton Gregory's impassioned
earnestness, and OWNED his yearning
to touch many hearts; nor did she
doubt that he would then and there
have given his life to press home upon
the errlnS mat they must ultimately

PRINCESS MARY Is

like her ancestress, no sense OF humor,
and in spite of the sensible upbringing
of her parents has a considerable idea
of her own importance. The writer
can vouch for the following episode
which happened at one of the large
garden parties at buckingham palace
about two years ago.
Princess Mary, dressed in a simple
white dress, was allowed, rather as a
favor, TO mingle with the guests. Run
ming up to high court official whom
she knew well, and who was in deep
conversation with a member of the
government, she pulled his coat sleeve
several times to gain his attention. At
last he turned and said courteously
but rather impatiently, Run away,
little lady; I'm busy now"
The princess ran to her mother, who
had observed the little scene from
distance.
"Mother!" cried the indignant
daughter, "Sir called me little
lady and told be to run away"
You had better go back to him, my
dear" said the queen, land tell him
that though you are a princess, that
you have yet to learn to be little
lady"
Princess Mary is something of an
autocrat among her brothers, and at
Sandringham, the charming country
house of the king and queen in Nor
folk, there is sometimes a good deal
of sparring and an exchange of much
plainness of speech. Once when
games were being played with the
children of the gamekeepers on the es-
tate, the princess in a fit of temper
pushed one of her playmates into a
shallow pond and then ran away
laughing. The Prince of Wales, then
about thirteen, was very angry with
his sister, and locked her up in a
summer house.

London English society has been

the coming out of her royal highness'
the young Princess Mary. AS the only
daughter of the king of England 1t is
natural that there should be much
speculation as to her future prospects
and her name has already been cou-

Princess Mary was sixteen years ola
on April rs, but Queen Mary has no in
tention oftnnoaucing her daughter to t.,
the world as a grownup woman TIL
after she is eighteen. AS a matter OF
fact, the princess looks younger than
her real age, and in mind and educa-
ton she is younger, for though natur-
ally she has had every educational ad-
vantage she has been brought up SO
simply that in mind she remains some

BULLET PROOF WOLF KILLED
Old Whtey's Depredations Cost
Rancher $4,000 in Past
Five Years.

Wheatland, Wyo.-Old Whitley, an
unusually large gray wolf whose dep
relations have cost the stockmen OF
this section $4,000 during the past
five years, was slain by George Rooms
on the Mertz ranch on the Laramie
plains.
old Whitley was probably the most
cunning wild animal that ever oper'
ated in southeast Wyoming. He side
stepped poisoned food and traps set
out to catch him, while his fieetness
of foot carried him out of reach OF
Russian staghounds.
He seemed bullet proof, for on many
occasions ranchmen have heard the
thud of their bullets as they struck
his hide, but he always got away un-
til this time. His hide is SCARED by
many bullet wounds and his feet and
legs are knots of broken cords and
muscles. Rooms will obtain rewards
of over 500 for the capture OF Old
Whitley.

NEW YORK FILM LAW SIGNED
Ordinance Safeguards Audiences In
Moving Picture Theaters In
Metropolis.

New York.-Mayor Gaynor signed
the new moving picture ordinance
which was passed recently by the
board OF aldermen. The ordinance
goes into effect on Aug. 8.
The new ordinance provides better
safeguards for the patrons of moving
picture theaters by laying down String-
ent requirements concerning the con-
struction and fireproofng of the build
ings in which moving pictures are ex-
hibited. The new regulation permits
an increase in the seating capacity
from the limit of 300 at the present
time to 500, 20 per cent. of whom may
be seated in the gallery, provided the
building is erected on twenty-toot
lot
The ordinance was passed after Wig
orous opposition of the board OF alder
men for many months, and repeated
urging by the mayor. Many moving
picture building projects have been
delayed in anticipation OF the Folks
ordinance. The additional seating ca
pacity allowed will be welcomed by
many exhibitors who UP to the pres
ent have been limited by the law to
800, but who have the room for many
more.
