need some assistance and it is the in

Another successful meeting must be
marked up to the credit of the Com

evening and was attended by about forty
of the members. 1t was the first meeting

activities Of the club during the coming
year
Two committees, that in charge OF the
Corn and Colt Show and that which
looked after the Municipal Christmas

was satisfactory. The committee was

g. THE DEAD MANS WILL Il

BY Harold Carter
Seton Manning found that he had
not solved the problem of death by
dying, any more than he had solved
that of life by living; but after the
first shock of the change had passed
away he was conscious that in GER
tain ways he had acquired increased
perspective.
Particularly in this, that whereas
in earth life he had only read the
past, now he could read the future
also. He saw the shadows cast upon
the screen of time, as events ripened
and destiny prepared itself.
But since man has free will moth
ing was actually foredestined that
could not be changed. 1t afforded
ManII2g infinite amusement to
watch these phantom episodes pre-
pare themselves only to scatter be-
fore the will of their object.
For instance, he saw Liza, his col
ored cook, smoking pipe in bed, and
nodding asleep while the pipe fell
from her mouth and consumed the
draperies, till the woman awoke,
screaming, mass of flames, and ran
from the room. And, when these hap
penings had shaped themselves in the
future, Manning saw them dissipated
by Liza willing to wake just as the
pipe fell from her mouth. So the
whole scene was thwarted and an
nulled by an effort of will.
Naturally, Manning's first thought
was for his own. He projected him
self by power of will to the scene of
his earthly home. He saw the stately
old house where he had lived so many
years, the arbiter of the small town
society, with his adopted daughter
Leila. He glanced wistfully at the old
place, and, though the remembrance
was dim and dreamlike, he was con-
scious of an intense longing to be
back again iH the earth life.
