CHAPTER III.
On the Foot-Bridqe.

To the young usher, the change of
scene was rather bewildering. His
eyes were still full of the light from
gasolene-burners, his ears still rang
with the confusion Of tent-noise into
which entered the prolonged mono
tones of inarticulate groanings, and
the explosive suddehness of seemingly
irreverent Amens.
Nothing just then mattered except
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
ers to the altar, as if life could not re-
sumo it's routine until the unconverted
were brought to kneel at the evang-
elist's feet.
AS Abbott Ashton reflected that, be-
cause of this young girl with the
mocking laugh, he was losing the eli
macteric expression of the three
weeks campaign, his displeasure
grew Within him was an underlined
thought vibration akin to surprise,
caused by the serenity of the hushed
sky. Was it not incongruous that the
heavens should be so peaceful with
their quiet star-beacons, while man
was exerting himself to the utmost of
gesture and noise to glorify the Maker
of that calm canopy? From the

companied by her parents. Brethren!
Too much is at stake, at moments
like these, to shrink from heroic
measures. Souls are here, waiting to
be saved. Let the little girl be re-
moved. Where are the ushers? l
hope she will go without disturbance,
but go she shall! Now, Brother Greg
ory. sing"
AS the song swept over the wor-
shippers in wave of pleading, such
ushers as still remained held brief
consultation. The task assigned them
did not seem included in their proper
functions. Only one could be found
to volunteer as policeman, and he only
because the evangelist's determined
eye and rigid arm had never ceased to
indicate the disturber of the peace.
Fran was furious; her small white
face seemed cut In stone as she stared
at the evangelist. How could she have
known she was going to laugh? Her
tumultuous emotions, inspired by the
sight of Hamilton Gregory, might
well have found expression in some
other way. That laugh had been as a
darting of tongue-fame directed
against the armored Christian soldier
whose face was so spiritually beauti-
full, whose voice was so eloquent.
Fran was suddenly aware of man
pausing irresolutely at the end of the
plank that held her erect. Without
turning her head, she asked in a
rather spiteful voice, "Are you the
sheriff."
He spoke with conciliatory persua-
siveness: won't you go with me,
little girl?"
Fran turned impatiently to glare at
the usher.
He was a fine young fellow of per-
haps twenty-four, tall and straight,
clean and wholesome. His eyes were
sincere and earnest yet they promised
much in the way of sunny smiles-at
the proper time and place. His
mouth was frank, his forehead open,
his shoulders broad.
Fran rose as swiftly as if a giant
had lifted her to her feet. "Come on,
then" she said in tone somewhat
smothered. She climbed over the
"stringer" at the end of her plank,
and marched behind the young man
as If oblivious of devouring eyes.
AS they passed the last pole that
supported gasolene-burner, Fran
glanced up shyly from under her
broad hat The light burned red upon
the young usher's face, and there was
something in the crimson glow, or in
the face, that made her feel like cry
ing, just because-or so she fancied-
it revived the recollection of her lone
illness. And as she usually did what
she felt like doing, she cried, silently,
as she followed the young man out be-
meath the stars.

EI FM PICKARD ssssyz..sz. ss.s..,: ~.

Culebra, C. 1.-THE strongest de-
fense of the Panama canal, in my opin-
ion, is the fact that hostile vessel
must come into 500-foot channel long
before it is within striking distance of
the vital points of the canal, the locks,
and in doing SO must pass within easy
range of the forts that are being built
to guard the entrances"
: So spoke Colonel Goethals when
asked him as to the vulnerability of
the canal in time of war. Continuing,
he said:
'The naval power of the nations is
so nicely balanced now that no one
of them would be willing to risk the
destruction of single battleship by
attacking those forts, which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and of
course the accuracy of guns on shore
is much greater than that Of those on
moving vessels. / do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
a naval victory"
The forts of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
emplacements for many Of the heavy
guns already have been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work is permitted to approach
them, but venture to say that in case
Of urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service
within very short time. ,....

SMALL VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE
According to Legal Decisions Few
Men Need Have High Opinion of
Themselves.

That human life is cheap" would
appear from a study undertaken by
a well known lawyer of the legal deci-
sions handed down in this country
with reference to the cash value" Of
a man.
1t is estimated that at ten years
of age a boy of the laboring class
is worth S2,061,42; at fifteen, s4,263.46;
at twenty-five, s5,4SS,03, from which
time the decline is steady, a man of
seventy, by this legal decision scale,
rating at only s1713! By the same prac-
tical method of computation one eye
is worth $4,000; one leg, $4,000; two
legs, s25,000; one arm, $4,000; one
hand, $4,000: one finger, $1,000, and
permanent disability, $4,000. This, it
is pointed out, is merely an average as
far as decisions have been examined.
It should be added that the esti-
mates of the value of mans life
are based upon an idea not of his
value to himself. but Of his value to

CHAPTER I.
A Knock at the Door.

- NHOCk dI ITC OOOEs
Fran knocked at the front door. It
was too dark for her to find the bell:
however, had she found it, she would
have knocked just the same.
At first, no one answered. That was
not surprising, since everybody was
supposed to be at the Union Camp
meeting that had been advertised for
the last two months, and that any one
in Littleburg should go visiting at
half-past eight, and especially that any
one should come knocking at the door
of this particular house, was almost
incredible.
No doubt that is why the young
woman who finally opened the door
after Fran had subjected it to sec
ond and more prolonged visitation OF
her small fist-looked at the stranger
with surprise which was, in itself, re-
proof. The lady in the doorway be-
lieVed herself confronted by camp
er"-one of those fitting birds OF outer
darkness who have no religion of
their own, but who are always putting
that of others to the proof.
The voice from the doorway was
cool, impersonal, as if, by it's very
aloofness, it would push the wanderer
away: What do you want?"
81 want Hamilton Gregory" Fran
answered promptly, without the
slightest trace of embarrassment.
I'm told he lives here"
MIR. Gregory"-offering the name
with its title as a palpable rebuke-
lives here, but is not at home. What
do you want, little girl?"
Where is he?" Fran asked, un-
daunted
He is at the camp-meeting," the
young woman answered reluctantly,
irr!tated at opposition, and displeased
with herself for being irritated What
do you want with him? l will attend
TO whatever it is. / am acquainted
with all of his affairs-I am his secre-
tary."
Where's that camp-meeting? How
can | find the placer" was Fran's
quick rejoinder She could not ex-
plain the dislike rising within her
She was too young, herself, to con-
slider the others youth an advantage,
but the beauty of the imperious wom-
an in the doorway-why did it not stir
her imagination?
Mr.. Gregory's secretary reflected
that, despite its seeming improbaSil-
ity, it might be important for him to
see this Olepr creature who came tn
strange doors at nighttime
'1f you will go straight down that
road'-she pointed-"and keep on for
about mile and half, you will
come to the. big tent Mr. Gregory
will be in the tent, leading the choir"
"All right" And turning her back
on the door, Fran swiftly gained the
front steps. Halfway down, she
paused, and glanced over her thin
shoulder. Standing thus, nothing was
to be seen of her but a blurred out
line, and the shining of her eyes.

tanned in the zone, and it has been sue.
gested that the towns of Empire and
Culebra, instead of being destroyed
because they are on the wrong side"
of the canal, be utilized as quarters for
the soldiers. This would necessitate
connecting them with the other side OF
the canal, where the Panama railroad
has been relocated, by ferry, bridge or
tunnel. No decision on this matter has
been reached yet by the authorities.
Meanwhile the army has not been
neglecting its part of the defensive
work. For some time the Tenth in
fantry has been encamped in the zone
and its men, in small detachments,
have been hiking" all over that part
of the isthmus. The possibilities of
landing hostile force on the shores
of both the Atlantic and the Pacific
have been investigated, and also the
chances that such force would have
Of finding sustenance. Then little
groups of soldiers have been started
from various possible landing places
with instructions to make their way
as swiftly as possible to given points
along the canal, mapping the country
they traverse, in order to determine
what an enemy could do.
The result of this work of investfga-
ton so far, briefly and wholly unoffi-
cially stated, is that the shores Of the
Atlantic ocean, within a good many
miles of the zone, are impracticable
for landing force because of the ma
ture of the country; that landing

PLACE FOR DANGEROUS DRUGS
Household Should Have Some Kind
of Cupboard Where They May
Be Kept in Safety.

Almost every medical man has ex-
perience of some lotion intended for
outward application being taken by
mistake, and such accidents will go
on happening until the general pub
lie does something for it's own pro-
lection. The druggist may label his
bottles ever SO carefully, but to child
the label conveys no meaning, and if
the bottle be left within his reach no
one can be surprised if an accident
happens.
Every house should contain small,
safe cuboard out Of reach of chill
dren where bottles may be kept, for
many medicines which are perfectly
harmless If taken as prescribed by
the person for whom they are in
tended would bring about serious re-
suits if the bottle were emptied at
one draught.

precautions are taken by dispensers

Women and Tobacco.

Lord Methuen's few words against
the woman who smokes recall the
fact that, when tobacco was intro
duced into England toward the end Of
the sixteenth century, the woman
puffed her pipe with the best Of men.
Then came one Of fashions changes.
She dropped her pipe, and in the sew
enteenth century the custom was so
far uncommon that the sight of ladies
with pipes in the theater sent Prynne
into Mysteries. The pipe dropped,
snuff brought consolation to the
boudoir, and what Prynne would have
said at the spectacle of Mrs. Siddons
and Mrs. Jordan taking pinches on
the stage must be left to the imagina-
ton. And now, with the pipe cold,
and snuff in disgrace, it is left to the
cigarette to draw the rebuke Of Lord
Methuen.-London Chronicle.

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 erring that they must ultimately
reap what they were sowing. Never
theless she was altogether unmoved.
1t would have been easier for her to
laugh than to cry.
Although the preacher had ceased
his exhortations for the singing of
the evangelistic hymn, he was by no
means at the end of his resources.
Standing at the margin of the plat
form, looking out on the congregation,
he slowly moved back and forth his
magnetic arms in parallel lines. Not
one word did he speak. Even between
the verses, when he might have striv-
en- against the pianos and the snare
