ity had seemed to be opening to him. And
now, without any warning, he had re-
eeived notice Marta Brevin was at Ellis
Island
He crossed from the Battery to the is
land that is the hitching post of the inn
migrants and, following a score or more
of other visitors with cards like his own,
he went into one of the offices. An off,
eial asked few questions which Mann
riov answered readily in English and then
an attendant was summoned and Man,
riov was taken into another room which
was sort of court. In a few minutes
a dozen or more detained immigrants
were ushered in Marta was in the lot
As she caught sight of Mamriov she ut
tered a cry of joy. Mamriov's heart beat
faster but his cheeks went pale The
girl looked thin and weak She was poor
ly garbed
The man at the big desk asked a ques-
ton of him. Mamriov did not respond.
The question was repeated. Then an in
terpreter shook him and fired multitude
of interrogations at him. Mamriov ap-
peared to have difficulty in understand
ing The man repeated his questions and
then pointed to Marta.
Me no want" Mamriov said. The in
terpreter went over to Marta and came
back and tried to get Mamriov to COM
prehend what he was saying. but Mann
riov looked at him stupidly and repeated.
ME no want"
Some of the immigrants Joined friends
and relatives among the visitors, but
Marta, crying Historically was taken
from the room Then Mamrioy hurried
back to Manhattan.
Less than three months later the boss
took Mamriov into partnership. 1t was
the same day that Mamriov was married
to the daughter of the boss.
Fortune certainly favored Boris Mann
riov. The business grew and the profits
increased until the establishment ranked
among the largest in its line in the city.
Gradually Marrow took over full con-
troll. The young man was keen to every
opportunity. He picked up some shares
In an East Side bank at a bargain aud it
was not long before he was made direc-
tor. The bank was not big, but it was
an impressive thing to be bank director.
To fit himself fully for his duties, Mann
riov studied banking. Through his fellow
directors he was introduced to men of
weight and substance connected with
other financial institutions. He got into
some deals with them which were wholly
successful and these led to others. Real
estate had a strong attraction for him.
He had seen enough of the growth of the
city in the comparatively few years he
had been in New York to make him feel
there was no limit to its expansion and
its increase In values A man who is
bright and alert and who has good judg-
ment has little difficulty in making money
II he has fair amount of capital and
good credit Real estate was easy for
Mamriov. He bought only in the line of
the city's upward march. 1t was rare
that he made a Joss. He was SO success
full that men courted his favor.

Is 1t the Tower of Babel?
From the Christian Herald.


From Babylonia, where a party of in
vestigators under the auspices of the In
stitute of France, have been conducting
excavations near the ruins of.the ancient
city of Kis near the Tuphrates river and
about 50 miles north of BagdadD comes a
very remarkable report These men in the
coSrse of their researches uncovered an
immense palace, resembling royal resi-
dences that have been disclosed in other
parts of ancient Babylonia. In a vast
courtyard near this palace, which was
heaped high with mounds of debris, they
unearthed the ruins of a tower, which,
according to inscriptions found upon it,
was called THE Temple of the Founda-
tion of Heaven and Earth, and which was
dedicated to the honor of the god Zam-
ana. Various pieces OF statuary found In
the ruins seem to warrant the conclusion
that the tower itself might have been
constructed during the reign of Hammu-
rabi, about 2l00 y. c. There have been
several so-ealled identihcations of Babel.
One of these related to the ruin of a
tower at Borsippa CBirs Nimrud) which
the Baylonians called the House Of Eter-
nity'; another was the temple, E-Sag-
lila, which has now disappeared and
which was a huge. storied tower, bearing
the appellation E-timin-an-ki ('House OF
the Foundation Stone of Heaven and
Earth'). The similarity of the inscrip-
tions between the latter and the newly
found tower at Kis suggests the POSSIBLE
ity of natural mistake. Hammurhbi is
also said 10 nave Duiit a temple, also near
kis. whose top he carried up as high
as heaven Thus the region seems to
have been "a complex of towers and sauc-
tuaries." making the positive detremina-
tion of the Scriptural Babel matter of
grave difficulty. Any one Babylonian or
,chaldean temple is a type OF all the
afhars

unkind. Several times in the journey be-

read what was printed and written on 1t.
The paper had been delivered to him the
day before. He knew it by heart. still
he read it over again and again.
1t was the formal notice sent out in
such cases by the immigration commits

2S years old, white. native of Silesia,
steerage passenger ON the Strassburg
from Bremen. was detained at Ellis Is
land subject to investigation as to her
desirability as an immigrant, and that,
she having given his name as that of her
best friend in this country, he must fur

charge upon the American people. Other
wise she would be sent back.
year and a half had made differ
ence in Mr.. Mamriov. When he left Sill
esia his one ambition was to get foot
hold In the new world and send for
Marta to join him Immediately. After his
arrival he wrote to her by every mail
He vas lonely and heartsick. The big
ness of New~York appalled, him. He had
not been able to get work so easily as he
expected. When he finally got job the
wages We're small, but he slaved and
saved and wrote most glowingly of the
time when he would have enough to fur
nish a home and send for her, and they
would be married.
After he got work he made better head
way than most immigrants. He had gone
into shop. as a beginner. In month
he was put on a machine. In 10 months
he was foreman. He was bright, clever,
ambitious. The boss was delighted with
him. The men in the shop nnconsciously
partook little of his ardent spirit and
worked better under him than they ever
had before.
Some day he'll have shop of his own
and hen be rich," he heard one of them
say. 1t made him glow to think of SO
much happiness.
Somehow as he made headway in the
new world he did not think so much or
write so often to the girl in Silesia, or
look so eagerly for message from her.
Her letters stirred his sympathies deeply
at first but later they depressed him. Her
father was i'll and her mother was Grip
pied. They were dreadfully poor. 1t was
the same tale every time with slight va

With the foremanship came broader
views and clearer business vision to
Mamroy. He went to night school and
read and studied. He heard what other
young foreigners of energy and courage
had achieved in this wonderful land of
opportunity. Why shouldn't he make
name and place for himself? He had

The Day of Prayer at PiIurim,

In accordance with resolution ADOPT
ed at the National Baptist Convention
at Nashville, a special service of
prayer in behalf of the Afro-Americans
IN this country was held at Pilgrim
Baptist church, st. Paul, last Sunday
morning which ran wellsinto the AFTER
noon. The church was filled with
christians who unburdened their
hearts to God in earnest supplications
for relief from the prosecutions under
which the race suffers at this time.
Each prayer was freighted with the
desire that help should be given, but
that it should be in Gods own way.
Among the many prayers offered
were those of the old and the young
and number by ex-slaves who remem-
bered the times when they had offered
similar petitions for relief, in the cot
ton fields and rice swamps in the
days of slavery.
It was the Pilgrim Baptist church
that gave birth to the resolution fixing
Sunday, October 10 as day of prayer,
and the earnestness and faith in those
prayers must have shaken the gates
OF heaven, and directed Gods atten-
ton to this long. suffering people.
