Silly Idea About Career of ministers
Sons" Is Given a Setback by Pub
lication of a Few Facts.

Did anybody say anything about
ministers sons?" No? Well, any
way, they are coming TO their own in
spite of the old saw. Three OF the
last seven presidents of the United
States were sons OF ministers-Ar
thur. Cleveland and Wilson.
Two denominations have been rep
resented thus by ancestry in the
White House. Mr.. Arthur was the son
one of nine children-of the Rev
William Arthur. a Baptist Mr.. Cleve-
lands father was the Rev. Richard f.
Cleveland. Presbyterian, while Presi-
dent Wilson's father, the Rev Joseph
r. Wilson. was not only a Presby
terian clergyman, but also a professor
in a theological seminary. 1t is esti-
mated that there is one clergyman in
the United States to 220 adult men.
So the ministers, through their sons,
are getting much more than their
share OF representation in the execu-
tive chair
They are doing even better through
their daughters. Mrs. Wilson is the
daughter and the granddaughter of
Presbyterian ministers She will he

House of clerical descent. Abigail

His Great Hour.
Saturday night at eight O'Clock.

Saturday night at eight O'Clock
SO the fiat had gone forth. with no
concession to be made on account Of
weather.
As Oswald came from his supper
and took look at the heavens from
the small front porch, he was deeply
troubled that Orlando had remained
so obstinate on this point. For there
were Ominous clouds rolling up from
the east, and the storms in this region
of high mountains and abrupt valleys
were not light, nor without danger
even to those with feet well-planted
upon mother earth.
If the tempest should come up be-
fore eight!
Mr.. Challoner, who, from some mys.
terious impulse of bT .vado on the part
of Brotherson, was TO be allowed to
make the third in this small band of
spectators, was equally concerned at
this sight, but not for Brotherson. His
fears were for Oswald, whose slow.
| " gathering strength could lily bear
the strain which this additional anx-
iety for his brothers life must impose
upon him AS for Doris, she was in
state of excitement more connected
with the past than with the future.
That afternoon she had laid her hand
in that of Orlando Brotherson. and
wished him well. She! in whose breast
still fingered "reminiscences of those
old doubts which had beclouded his
image for her at their first meeting.
She had not been able to avoid it,
His look was a compelling one, and it
had demanded thus much from her;
and-a terrible thought to her gentle
spirit-he might be going to his
DEATH
1t had been settled by the prospec-
tive aviator that they were to watch
for the ascent from the mouth of the
grassy road leading in to the hangar.
The three were to meet there at a
quarter to eight and await the stroke
and the Arrears rise. That time was
near, and Mr.. Challoner. catching a
glimpse of Oswald's pallid and unnat-
urally drawn features, as he set down
the lantern he carried, shuddered with
foreboding and wished the hour
passed.
Doris watchful glance never lef:
the face whose lightest change was
more to her than all Orlando's hopes.
But the result upon her was not to
weaken her resolution, but TO strength
en- it. Whatever the outcome of the
next few minutes, she must stand
ready to sustain her invalid through
it. That the darkness of early eve
ming had deepened to oppression, was
unnoticed for the moment The fears
of an hour past had been forgotten.
Their attention was too absorbed in
what was going on before them. for
even a glance overhead.
Suddenly Mr. Challoner spoke.
Who is the man whom Brotherson
has asked to go up with him?"
1t was Oswald who answered.
He has never told me- He has
Kept his own counsel about that as
about everything else connected with
this matter. He simply advised me
that | was not to bother about him
any more; that he had found the as
sistant he wanted"
Such reticence ceems unpardon-
able. You have displayed great pa.
tience. Oswald"

who's ihere?" he asked, imperious-
~ and with some show of anger
No answer. but another quiet knock
Speak! or so away from my door.
No one has the right 10 intrude here
What is your name and business?"
Continued Notwithstanding more
With an outburst of wrath. which
made the hangar ring. Orlando lifted
his fist to answer this appeal in his
own fierce fashion from his own side
of the door, but the impulse paused at
fulfillmont, and he let his arm fall
again in a rush of self-hatred which
IT would have panied his worst en-
emy, even little Doris. to witness. As
# reached his side. the knock came
again.
1t was too much With an oath.
Orlando reached for his key. But be
fore fitting it into the lock, he cast
a look behind him. The car was in
plain sight. filling the central space
from floor to roof. A single glance
from a strangers eye, and its princi-
pal secret would be a secret no longer
He must not run such a risk Before
he answered this call, he must drop
the curtain he had rugged up against
such emergencies as these He had

turned to the door.
Another quiet but insIstent knock
greeted him.
In no fury now, but with a vague
sense of portent which gave an as
pect of farewell to the one quick
glance he cast about the well-known
spot, he fitted the key in the lock.
and stood ready to turn it,
81 ask you again your name and
business" he shouted out in loud
command. Tell them or" He meant
to say, 'or ! do not turn this key"
But something withheld the threat
He knew that it would perish in the
utterance; that he could not carry
II out. He would have to open the
door now, response or no response
Speak" was the word with which he
finished his demand.
A final knock
Pulling a pistol from his pocket,
with his left hand. he turned the key
with his right.
The door remained unopened.
Stepping slowly back. he stared at
its unpainted boards for a moment.
then he spoke up quietly. almost cour-
teously:
Enter"
But the command passed unheeded:
the latch was not raised, and only the
slightest tap was heard.
With a bound he reached forward
and pulled the door open. Then a
great silence fell upon him and a rig
idity as of the grave seized and stiff
'fened his powerful frame.
The man confronting him from the
darkness was Sweetwater.
