While the Montana lyncher was in the u.

AS head of the Army of the Greatest Re

Finally, the best people rose in revolt,
formed a Vigilance Committee, bought all
the guns, pistols, and ammunition in the
hardware stores, and seized the person of a
murderer who had killed his man by stab
blng him In the back.
The Vigiantes, of whom w. T. Sherman
was one Of the leaders, took this assassin,
and hanged him to lamp post.
The Vigilantes then gave the acquitted
murderers twenty-four hours to leave the
city, under penalty of being hanged if
caught afterwards; and every one of those
oc0uitted criminals fled for their lives
The Vigilantes then notified the Judge,

The Sheriff gets his authority to hang
man from the Law, but the Law got it from

Therefore, the power remains in the Peo-

agent.
When the Sheriff kills, it is not his act:
1t IS the act Of the People, performed
through their statutory law.

The Supreme Court Of Georgia deliber-

The marvellous loyalty of India to
Great Britain was the most significant
thing in the whole OF the great war.
In one quarter only was there dissatis-
faction. That was the little state OF
Bundapur. in central India. Bundapur
was the birthplace of the ferocious
worship Of the goddess Kali, the muir
der-goddess. For centuries this fierce
idolatry had been decaying, but of late
years there had been an effort to re-
vive it.
Now Bundapur had strong links OF
contact with other ldolatrous states
OF India. If the rajah of Bundapur
took advantage of Englands need to
throw off her yoke, be would be Joined
by other potentates, and the flame OF
revolt would spread all through the
central provinces.
1t was Mannering's task to preserve
peace in Bundapur He was the Brit
ish resident there, and the power be-
hind the throne. There we're two other
rulers in the turbulent little state
the Rajah Ferozeshah, whose ances-
tors had been Moslems and had be-
come idolators in order to retain their
hold upon the kingdom, and Muzzur,
the chief priest, who OBLIGATED in the
magnificent temple of the goddess, to
which votaries came from all parts of
India.
Mannering and old Muzzur were
good friends, for the British govern
ment scrupulously respects all faiths
in its dominions, but when opportun-
ity comes. friendship goes. And op-
portunity had come with the war to
the old king Ferozeshah. who dreamed
of carving out for himself an empire
which was to embrace all central
India.

That postponed matters, and Manner
ing, chatting under the delay, could
only continue to administer the af-
fairs Of the kingdom, as the represen-
tative of the British raj. He had not
a single white soldier to maintain his
authority, for they had all been with
drawn. Meanwhile the annual festival
of the goddess Kali was approaching
Mannering had a shrewd idea Of
what was brewing In Bundapur. He
had, in fact, had frank talk with old
Muzzer He had shown him what 1t
was no use showing the old king, be-
cause the priests word alone could
decide the issue. He had explained to
him that England's might, temporarily
withdrawn, would fall after the war
with fearful force upon a rebellious
Bundapur. Let Muzzur declare for
England and rich would be his re-
ward
The old priest smoked and listened,
and. while Mannering was wondering
at his silence, a shower of stones
came through the windows of the resi-
dency. thrown by the turbulent, fan
atical mob without. The priest rose,
smiling. You see, he said. The de-
cision is not in my power. sahib. The
people are very much attached to the
faith of Kali, and they want to be
free Only one thing can keep them

What is that?" asked Mannering.
The priest leaned forward conf
dentially. IF the sahib will also &C
cept the faith of Kali, the people will
hear his words" he said
When he was gone and the few
native servants had dispersed the
moo, Mannering paced his room, think
ing. He was sincerely religious
man: he believed that to become an
ldolator would have certain spiritual
consequences; he knew that it meant
the loss OF Mary Treyethan. whom
he had loved since he was boy. But.

his country, how much the more should
he not sacrifice his soul for her. and
the woman he loves?
The struggle lasted all night. At
dawn he sent for the priest.

THE VOICE OF THE VIOLIN.

At the meeting of the American
Guild of Violinists held recently in
Chicago a rare Stradiyarius violin was
on exhibition. Beneath it was the fol
lowing prose-poetic effusion that is well
worth repeating;
Once | stood in a forest and birds
sang TO me and the winds blew me
their melodies and the storms thunder
ed their rhythm in my ears. The wood
sprites danced before me then and the
voices of seasons hummed all the while
and in the night | listened to the COB
Inns chanting and the elves grooming
Then they cut me down and tore me
into pieces with knives and hammers.

me and fashioned me into a strange
form. And here | am. They call me
by a queer name, Stradivarius, And

memories of the forest.

The Aged Minister.

There is no more pathetic figure than
that OF the minister who, having served
his church faithfully for many years on
small salary, is left to want in his
old age. Certainly a minister, whose
lfework is devoted to the well-being of
his fellowman, is as deserving ola pen
sion as the city official, the teacher,
the fireman or railroad employee, The
Methodist church has not been famous
for the high salaries paid its minister's,
hut Methodism has aimed always TO
take care of its disabled and aged min
listers. A feature of the campaign TO
increase the interest of Methodists in
this work is the publication of The
Retired Minister, by Joseph b. Hin

retired minister upon the church is
