The Y. M. c. A.

Eflis is the tenth anniversary of the death of Sir George Williams, / the founder of the Young Mems Christian Asso citation, and his memory will be honored today by many of the branch es of the worldwide organization he fathered and fostered. The Y. BI. c. A. organizations in all countries have already commenced to plan for the celebration of the centenary of Sir Georges birth on Oct. II, 1921, nearly six years hence.
 George Williams. native of somer- setshire, founded the Y. M. c. A. in London in 1844. The association started with a membership of twelve young men, all of whom were employ ed in an establishment with which MT Williams was connected. Origi- nally the Y. M. c. A. was intended as condition of young men engaged in the drapery and other trades.'' Its scope was gradually extended, and in 1851 societies were founded in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Mon treal
 There are now more than 5000 Young Mems Christian Associations in the world, and nearly 2,50G or one fourth of these are in North America. There is scarcely an important city or town in the United States and Canada. without a Y. M. c A., and the work of founding new branches in the smaller cities and towns is rapidly be- ing extended. The membership of the North American associations is approaching the three-quarters of a million mark.
 Aside from Great Britain, the United States and Canada, the Y. M. c. A. is an influence in Australasia, Austria Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Rus sia, Spain, South Africa Sweden, Swift zerland, Turkey, China, Korea. India and Japan. The worlds committee maintains headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and the American com mittee carries on it's work from New York.

Annabel, realizing that the Indian. despite his impassive countenance, threatened some horrible catastrophe, started up with 8 scream Edgerton had already turned toward them. alarmed at sound of GIedware's terror He bent to the oars, conlprehending only that Annabel was in danger.

 Red Feather did not utter word. but with the stealthy lightness ana litlleness of q panther he stepped over the seat and moved toward GledWare. Then GIedware. pushed to the last extremity, despairing of the interposi- tion of some miraculous chance. was forced back upon himself. With the vision Of m inherent coward he saw ali chances against him. But with the desperation of maddened soul he threw himself upon the defensive
 Rcd Feaflser had not expected to see him off e. resistance. This show of clinehed teeth and doubled fists sud- denly enraged him, and the old lust of vengeance famed from his eyes, Hat and disgusting coat were cast asfae, For a moment his form, rigid and greet, gleamed like statue of copper ,e1lt in stern. relentless lines. and the single crimson feather in his raven locks matched in gold the silver bright ness of his upraised blade.
 The next moment his form shot for ward, his arm gripDed Gcldware about the neck despite furious resistance, and both men fell into the water.
 HThe violent shock given to the boat sent Annabei to her, knees,g CIutching the side, she gazed with horrtfed eyes at the water in her wake, The men had disappeared, but in the glowing white path cut across the lake by the sun appeared a dull red streak that fhinned away to faint pufple and dim pink.

Had Red Feather found a rock to which he could cling while he drowned himself with his victim? Or. had their bodies

NW YILLOCK waited in patience ~A till Bill Atkins had exhaust
 ed himself N'I ain't saying
 nothing" he explained to Wilfred, because he ain't pervious to reason and it does him good to get that out of his system"
 "Let me make a suggestion ex- claimed Wilfred suddenly.
 Willock looked at him suspiciously. elf 1t ain't counter to my plans'.-
 1t isn't. It's this:, Suppose we drop the subject till tomorrow. It won't hurt any of us to sleep OF it, and I know <I'd enjoy another night with you, as in the old days.v
 I'm willing to sleep on it out of friendship Willock conceded/ unwil- ingly, though I'd rest easier on a bed in the jail There never was no bird more crazy to get into cage than I am to be shut up. But as to the old days, they ain't none left Them depu- ties is in the dugout; they're in the cabin l built for Lahoma; they think they owns our cove. We'll they's no place left for nae. Life wouldn't be nothing crouching and sinking up here in the rocks. Life wouldn't be nothing to me without Lahoma. I'd have a pretty chance for happiness now, wouldn't |, sitting up somewhere with Bill Atkins :? I ain't saying I mightn't get out of this country and find a safe spot where I could live free and dis posed with an old renegade like him that nobody ain't after and ain't a-car- ing whether he's above ground or in Kingdom come. But I couldn't be with Lahoma. I'm under ban.''
 If you were on my farm near Okla homa City, Wilfred suggested, "tand Lahoma and I lived in the city you could often see her. Up there nobody'd molest you. nobody'd know you. That's what I've been planning. You could look after the farm, and Bill could go back and forth. As soon as the news comes that Red Feather killed Gled- ware it'll be taken for granted that he killed Red KimbaN and attacked the stage. You'll be cleared of all that, and nobody will want you arrested"
 Willock rose. Are we going to sleep on this or shall I answer you now ?'' he demanded fixedly.
 Wilfred hastily asked for time.
 They passed the night in the noun tain top. But WiIlock had spoken tru- ly-there were no old days. The one subject forbidden was the only subject in their minds. All attempts at rem iniscence, at irrelevant anecdotes, were mere pretense. The fact that Wilfred and LahOma were now married seem. ed to banish events of month ago as if they were years and years in the past.
 The next morning they had breakfast in the gray dawn and departed for tho town. Brick Willock was determined to yield himself to the power of the law. Lahoma had gone out of his life and he cared little as to what happened to him.

GERMANY'S
WAR ZONE.

bv Ambassador Gerard and the more
conservative German representatives,
to allay alarm in America and the
Fatherland concerning the attitude OF
the Kaiser towards the recent note
from this country in regard to Tie
what Germany has designated the
war zone, that relations between the
two countries are strained cannot be
denied. We believe the Kaiser would,
if possible, steer clear of actual hos
tilities under present conditions and
not manifest such raShness as to add
another nation TO his. enemies, but
that there is danger of trouble should
an American ship meet disaster from
German submarines or mines must
be apparent TO all who study the sit
uation. The Kaiser was reared IN
the school Of rashncsS, and he has
been an apt scholar. While the
world was protesting against his
purpose to devastate the peaceful!
land OF Belgium, treaties ard oblcc-
tious did not deter him from carrying
out its purpose. He may show an
equal contemSt for the United State;

DEATH OF
FANNY CROSBY.

Fanny Crosby, authoress Of so
many popular hymns, after a pilgrim
age of ninety-fve years. has paid
the debt of nature. Like Homer and
Milton, Fanny Crosby was blind.
There are many interesting anecdotes
in connection with the life Of this
noble wonaan-She fed upon spiritual
ity and impaired her own experience
to others through her hymns, which
are so often hummed by those rejoic-
ing in spirit as well as by the weary
and hcavy-ladened The great
writer is said to have composed sew
eral thousand hymns during her life,
some of which arc the most popular
nf gospel selections.
