OWNER SEARCHING
FOR STOLEN FORD
Machine in Baraboo and
Driven to Parts Unknown
by Ex-Convict.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

About two o'clock yesterday morn
ing two strangers drove Ford auto
mobile to the Phllbrick & Mather
garage where John Arnott, Jr., was
aroused from his slum bers and where
the machine was stored for the night.
They left call to depart with the
first notes of the chandeliers and in
the early morn madea merry notes IS
they rolled away. Yesterday evening
two more strangers came along search
ing for the car. One of them said he
was the owner of the automobile, that
the machine was new and that it was
stolen by an eX-convict whom be had
aided in getting out of one of the state
institutions. With fash of irony he
said the stealing of the machine was
the reward he received fer securing
the parole of one of the men. He
claimed to be from Madison and after
telling his story huckled up his deter
mination to catch the thief and hur-
ried toward the setting sun. The
first two said they were on
their way to Dakota, but that might
have been only a ruse. No names were
registered at the garage.

"yYsare's thy lover girl? Is he not

Again there was loud call of the
trumpets and the councillor cried
"The gladiators are ready. Open the

The doors were thrown open and the

prisoners, flooded with golden sun

for moment there was a pause,
but almost before it could be realized
Mercia's clear sweet voice rang out the
FIRST words of their beloved hymn.
"Shepherds of souls that stumble by
the way,
Pilot of vessels storm tossed in the
night;
Healer of wounds, for help to Thee we
pray,
Guide Thou our footsteps, lead, oh
lead us home"
Instantly the Christians took up
the strain and with uplifted eyes and
undaunted hearts, the noble martyrs
went calmly and resignedly through
the dark Valley of the Shadow of
Death to the everlasting peace that
awaited them beyond. Mercia sank
upon her knees with her face pressed
against the iron bars.
Presently the door leading to the
corridor was unbarred. Two officers
entered ushering in Marcus, who start
ed on finding Mercia alone. Dismiss
ing the guards, he closed the door,
gazing with infinite tenderness at the
white figure kneeling at the gate.
Mercia lost in thought, had not heard
him enter.
Thrice he assayed to speak, but
could not. At last he murmured soft
ly,
"Mercia!"
At that moment his name was
mingled with her prayers and it SEEM
ed as though his spirit had called her.
She knew nothing of his coming
thither, had not deemed it possible
that she should ever see him again. A
second time he called,

The scene of the story is laid in
Rome at the time of Nero's persecution
of the Christians WAC were falsely ac-
oused of the burning of the city.
To Marcus, the project, q young
man of twenty-eight years, and the
richest, and the most influential man
IN Rome, was committed the task of
arresting and putting to death the
despised Christians.
While passing one day through the
streets of Rome he encountered an in
furiated mob dragging through the
streets, Mercia, a beautiful Christian
maiden and her old teacher. The sur
passing beauty and helplessness of the
girl appealed to him. He stopped
TO make inquiry as to the cause of
the rlot-his eyes met those of the
maiden and that ''subtle, mysterious
thing men call affinity" drew these
two souls together. From that moment
Marcus loved Mercis. He protected
her from the mob, shielded her in
every possible way, and risking the
displeasure of the Emperor, threw
himself at Nero's feet imploring her
pardon-but all to no avail, nothing
could move him from his purpose-she
must die.
It was a festival day in Rome. Nero
had decreed it. In the circus was 10
be given a performance the like OF
which had never before been witness
ed. The greatest attraction expected
was the promised Strengthening of the
Christians.
The whole city was excited by the
rumors of the numbers doomed to Gle,
and of the ferocity of the beasts they
were to encounter.
| Great was the contrast between the
dark, damp cell and the sunlit arena,
crowded with eager, gaily dressed
patricians. In the dungeon were scores
of men and women waiting for the
signal to pass forth to certain and
cruel death; in the auditorium was a
seething mass of humanity, thousands
upon thousands impatientIy waiting
their coming forth.
The roar of the hungry beasts could
be family heard even when the doors
closed, so could the equally merclless
bowls of the blood thirsty populace.
Suddenly blare of trumpets smotf
upon their ears. The iron doors lew
back. The councillor, attended by the
aedile and other officers, entered the
!. cell. In harsh and unfeeling tones III
exclaimed to the prisoners who, at th'
moment of his entrance, were al
kneelipg in prayer
"Stand up there! Up you vermine
Up! Stand on his side, you! These
+ are for the gladiators."
"They'll not give tbe gladiator
, much trouble-they're a puny lot
l sneered aedile.
e "stand here, you! These old rat
: we'll give to the tigers to toy with
These women to the lions.'
