enough, this feeling was somehow con-

devoutly wished. yet for some indef-

He decided that he needed exercise
and determined to take tramp

note from Mrs. COrtlandt, which the
clerk handed him. 1t ran:

The recipient of this kind invitation
tossed it aside, with a gesture of impa-
tience. For the moment he expert
enced kind of boyish resentment at
having his intentions thWarted that
seemed out of proportion to the cause.
But the emotion soon passed.
The next morning Edith appeared
upon the hotel porch. She was alone

Kirk obeyed, and they went clatter-

Kirk, you've capsized the political cal

coNeREeArIoNALIsTs LEAD.
Other Denominations Report De- ficit.

American missionary societies clos ing their books this spring handle sS,- 500, 900 a year. Indications are that together they will report deficits az gregating $1,O00, ,0000 said New York paper Monday. This is a record never before approached, because societies never made such budgets as they do today. The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, handling $1.S85,000 a year and one of the very largest for eign societies in the world, began last year with a deficit of s65,300 and fell short $226,S00 more. making a total deficit to be reported at Chicago this month, when it's general assembly meetsf of s292.15O.
 The Presbyterian Board of Home Missions fell behind its appropriations $13S,000. This is the first deficit in fifteen years. The causes are given as disturbed financial conditions and criticisms of the board made by people who had heretofore been friends.
 In Episcopal churches of this city and the country yesterday the Epis- copal General Mission Board, handling S1, 500, 900 a year, authorized & state ment that a deficit of s3G0,000 is inn minent The board began last year $197,0o behind, it's apportionments of the previous year having failed by s2s4,o0O. The trouble seems to be too large appropriations. and not actual falling off in gifts.
 Baptists have had an almost similar experience. The home society began the year S31 ,000 behind, and ended it with $72.O00 deficit. Presbyterians, South, handling about sSQ,0o0 a year, came out nearly even and Congrega- tiona1ists in their home work are the only ones closing the year without debt They did so, however, only be- cause of large personal gifts obtained at the last moment, and after @ year acknowledged to have been the hard est in it's whole history. The Reformed Church boards, both Dutch and Ger man. came out about even.
