DR. +. Jackson, the superintendent,
spoke In opposition to the resolution
holding that IL was against the policy
OF the Baptist church to mix in at
fairs Of State Mayor J r. Harris in
sisted that II was not an action IN
the part Of the church, but on the
part Of citizens assembled there. Dr.
Jackson then held that a mass meet

side the church building and others
agreed with him. The resolution
was. however, adopted, the argument
being a good -natured one.

circuit, and the Judge Is known to
have some very pronounced Views

There was no answer to this re-

pipes. The fourth, who seemed to be
somewhat younger than the others,
had been relieved of guard duty and
was now eating his supper When
he had finished he drew a bag Of to-
bacco and some tissue paper from a
pocket and rolled a cigarette. There

Walking straight ahead, the bearded
man parted the underbrush and with
Gordon following close, they passed
through it and arrived at log cabin,
evidently Of recent construction.
BY this time it was almost dark.
One of the men stepped inside the
cabin and lighted two or three tallow
candles, after which he set about pre-
pairing the evening meal. When the
candles were glowing, the bearded man
motioned Gordon to enter, which he
did, the others following. Gordon
glanced around There were five

there was a fireplace in a corner. with
a small chimney leading up from it.,

No Secret About WOman's Beauty

The flashing eye, the elastic step
and the brilliant complexion are
never companions of organic trou-
bles; but it is the distressed ex-
preston, aches and pains, faint
ness, dizziness, that bearing down
feeling, and the blues that are the
tell-tale symptoms. If such wom-

Love to all.
When Mildred received these lines
(Which she did the following morn
ing) she must have thought it a
queer letter to get from the man she
was so worried about. 1t was not
love letter, nor did it seem to say
much of anything in any definite de-
gree Yet Gordon had deliberately
written it that way. trusting to the
girls ingenuity to decipher the hid
den meaning. As matter Of fact
the meaning was so little hidden that
Gordon, as he wrote it, had doubts
as to whether it would pass muster
The Message Sent.
Gordon folded the sheet OF paper
twice, addressed It on the back to
Miss Mildred Deery and handed 1t to
the black bearded man, who read it
slowly; so slowly, IN fact, that Cor
don feared he had discovered the
simple cryptogram. But at last the
mountaineer nodded and placed the
letter in his pocket, whereat Gordon
breathed with relief. Later in the
evening the letter was given to the
youngest Of the four who, after re-
ceiving instructions from the beard
ed man, given in too low tone for
Gordon to distinguish the words, sad

by, mounted him and rode off in the
darkness.
From the moment the rope that
bound Gordons arms had been re
moved, one Of the four men had re-
manned within ten feet of the cap
tive, with a revolver in his hand.
Every action of the mountaineers
indicated that they meant business
and Gordon had long since made up
his mind that he would not attempt
to escape that night. At intervals he
endeavored to draw his captors into
| conversation, but without success
/ They were not sullen, or gloomy, or

might be allowed to retire for the
