The Bee recently referred to base ball. foot
ball, golf and other popular outdoor games as
the safety valves OF our strenuous American

Americans last year derived personal sdvan-
tages from these safety valves; that is accord

fourth Of our population, attended and particle

tion OF the value OF these sports and games
upon our national life let us imagine their elm

they offer to the spirit of wholesome rivalry.

Came TO brighten IN cur life,
Bringing with her floods of sunshine
To denote our eaCthly strife
To divert our earthly gaze.
To q higher. brighter space.
Thanks. oh. Lord. for every hour
You let Esther finger here.
Thanks for every tear and sorrow
When her end was drawing near
For Thy grace to let her, come.
AS our daughter in our home.
Lord in grace be with Thy children,
Help us through this weary day,
Let Us feel Thy very presence
When her body is laid away.
Let us feel II was Thy will
That our baby lies so still.
When our days forever vanish
And the night will come no more.

Happy ON the other shore.
Until then, we shall oh'de,

CHAPTER XIV.
The Meeting.

The Meeting.
Under the sun, under the starry
nights fremont, with his burden, jour
neyed toward the north. The halts
were distasteful to him, and although
he was forced to rest he would rather
have been cursed with sleeplessness
and have journeyed on and on. He
rode his camel like Bedouin; he grew
brown like the Bedouins and under the
hot breezes, swaying on his desert
ship, he sank into dreamy, moody and
melancholy reveries, like the wander
ing men of the Sahara, and felt him
self part of the desolation, as they
we're.
What win be, will bel'' Hammet
Abou said to him a hundred times. and
fremont wondered; 'sWill Charles live
to see Algiers?"
Sabron journeyed in litter carried
between six mules, and they travelled
slowly. slowly. fremont rode by the
sick mans side day after day. Not
once did the soldier for any length of
time regain his reason. He would pass
from coma to delirium, and many
times fremont thought he had ceased
to breathe Slender. emaciated under
his covers, Sabron lay like the image
of soldier in wax-a wounded man
carried as a votive offering to the
affairs of desert warfare.
