CHURCH in ENGLISH WOODS
Of Great Antiquity, Sacred Edifse in
North Devon Proves Big Attrae-
tioN 70 Visitors.

Cuibone church, which among many
others claims to be the smallest
church in England, is situated on the
coast of North Devon, not far from
the picturesque little village of Por-
lock, and the church is so guarded
by hills and woods that the suns rays
reach it only four months of the year.
The building is but 80 feet long by
IL feet s inches wide, and has a
porch, nave, carved oak chancel
screen and Norman font, an alabasteF
altar piece and quaint high pew
near the chancel, used by the family
Of Lord Lovelace, by whom the prop
erty is owned The slanted chancel is
lit by a tiny, square-headed, iron
barred window, the oldest feature In
the church, being pre-Norman, and
cut out Of single stone. 1t is amply
large for the population, which is
about 35 in parish OF 1897 acres. IN
summer the church is crowded, ow-
ing to the influx of visitors from

Something about ring chuekied
the first as he read the flrst para
graph. Listen. at several crises in
my life, he read, II have turned to
you for advice, and you have never
failed me Now, in sore distress Of
mind, come to you for advice as to
a ring, which have reason to believe
was stolen. I viii acquaint you with

the old standby Your first suspicion
was correct Thatll do as good as
anything.
The reader scribbled on tho pad Of
paper befors him and slipped 1t in the
return envelope A couple OF days
later Miss Celeste read the confirma-
tion Of her suspicion and bore 1t In
triumph to her brother.
John Noailes came as close to
swearing at a woman as he had ever
done in his life, but he checked his
temper and solemnIy warned her Of
the folly OF giving heed to the charla-
tans. But even as he spoke he knew
that nothing would convince her Of
Vince4t's Innocence save the finding
Of the ring.
Gradually II became noised about
the town that the spirits had told Miss
Noailes that Chester was q thief.
Vincent had not been near the house
since that night. and the apparent
break verified the gossip It began to
look ugly for his prospects when Mise
NOailes was moved to entertain few
friends.
Elvia sat HpaFt from the rest trying
to appear interested in the converaa-
ltion while her thoughts we're with
Vincent, when suddenly Miss Celeste
sat up id her chair.
"That miserable kitten has brought
1 bone in here r. she cried as an iYreg-
ular rattle on the hardwood floor
broke upon her ears. She Ia forever
playing with bones"
ElVia sprang toward her aunt This
kitten was one Vincent had given her,
and for that reason disliked by Miss
Celeste. Just as they turned to the
heavy cap cabinet under which the
kitten was playing Shah bounded out
from under the low-sitting cabinet in
pursuit Of his plaything
Elvia's startled cry scared him and
he scampered on, abandoning his toy.
Elvia pounced upon It,
"Do you remember that Shah was
playing in here that night?' she cried
"This is what he was playing with" !"
She held up a ieweled circle. THE
ring dropped on the floor and the
sparkle of the diamond attracted
Shah AS long as he was on the rug
we did not hear him. He must have
knocked it under the cabinet Nellie
never sweeps under there; look" She
caught up light cane and poked
under the cabinet. The dirt she swept
out showed that the ring could easily
have lain there since its loss.
Perhaps you will believe the Rays
now" laughed John Noailes, coming
forward Z guess I'll call up Vim
cent"
''I'n call him" volunteered Elvia.
Il guess you had better, daughter"
he laughed. You can promise any
thing if he will come over
Elvia's promise must have been at
tractive, for Chester borrowed an
automobile to come in, and after Miss
Celeste had humbled herself to an
apology, John Noailes insisted that
that ring be the engagement one.
