Satanic Majesty Brought Converts
to Mourner's Bench.

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar,
who in days bone by used to make
periodical visits to Danville, says the
Advocate, for the purpose of deliver
ing his sermons, remarkable on &C
count of their startling texts, on one
occasion spoke to large assemblage
of the colored population and a few
whites at the old colored Methodist
church on Walnut street. He arose.,
raised his spectacles from his eyes,
and said:
"My beloved brederen and sisteren.

Paul pints his pistol at de 'Phesians,
an whar it says, 'Whar de hen

hearers what horrible personal ap-
pearance the devil presented, with the
following description: Ellis eyes look
like two balls Nv fire, his teef like two
skinned saplins, his ears hang down
like 'baccer leaf an his BRET smoke
like a tar/kittle." That night Peter
made many converts.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Change of Plan.


That day and the next Westerling
had no time for strolling in the gar
den. His only exercise was few
periods of pacing on the veranda. Tur-
cas-, as tirelessly Industrious as ever,
developed an Increasingly quiet insist
ence to leave tho responsibility Of de-
cisions about everything of importance
to chief WIN was becoming increas-
ingly arbitrary. The attack on Enga-
dir being tina jewel Of Westerling's
own planning, he was disinclined to
risk success by delegating authority,
which also meant sharing the glory Of
victory.
Bouchard's note, though officially dis
missed as matter of pathology. would
not accept dismissal privately. In
flashes OF distinctness it required to
him between reports Of the progress
of preparations and directions as to
dispositions. At dusk of the second
day, when all the guns and troops had
their places for the final movement un-
der cover Of darkness and he rose
from his desk, the thing that had
edged its way into q crowded mind
took possession of the premises that
strategy and tactics had vacated. It
passed under the same analysis as his
work. His overweening pride, so SEN
sitive to the suspicion Of conviction
that he had been fooled, put his rela-
tons with Marta In logical review. He
had fallen in love in the midst of war.
A cool and intense Impotence pos
sessed him to study her in the light
Of his new skepticism, when, turning
the path of the first terrace, he saw
her watching the sunset over the crest
of the range.
She was standing quite still, a slim,
soft shadow between him and the light,
which gilded her figure and quarter
profile. Did she expect him? he won
dered. Was she posing at that in
slant for his benefit? When she
turned, her face In the shadow, the
glow of the sunset seemed to remain
in her eyes. otherwise without express

Westerling.
Marta noted that, though he gave
the news a casual turn, his scrutiny
sharpened.

! tine details for his departure, while
the rest of the staff was immersed in
the activity Of the preparations for the
attack on EEgadir. He knew that he
could not sleep IL he lay down. So he
spent the night at work. In the morn
ing his successor, young man whom
he himself had chosen and trained,
Colonel Bellini, appeared, and the
fallen man received the rising man
with forced official courtesy.
"In my own defense and for your
aid" he said, ri show you a copy of
what I have just written to General
Westerling."
A brief note it was, in farewell, be-
| ginning with conventional thanks for
Westerling's confidence in the past.
IT am punished for being right" 1t
concluded. ut is my belief that Miss
Galland sends news to the enemy and
that she draws it from you without
your consciousness of the fact. I tell
you honestly. Do what you will with
me-"
1t took more courage than any act
| Of his life for the loyal Bouchard to
| dare such candox to superior. See
ing the patchy, yellow, bloodless face
drawn in stiff lines and the abysmal
stare of the denp-set eyes in their
bony recesses, Bellini was swept with
a wave Of sympathy.
Thank you, BoNchard. You've been
very fne!" said Bellini as he grasped
Bouchard's hand, which was icy cold.
"My duty-my duty, in the hope that
we shall kill two Browns for every
Gray who has fallsn- that we shall
yet see them starved and besieged
and crying for mercy In their capital"
replied Bouchard. He saluted with a
dismal, urgent forr1fality and stalked
out Of the room with the tread of the
ghost Of Hamlet's father.
The strange impression that this
farewell left with Bellini still fingered
when, a few moments later, Wester-
ling summoned him. Not alone the
d1fndence Of new member Of the
staff going into the presence accounted
for the stir in his temples, as he wait
ed till some papers were signed be-
fore he had Westerling's attention.
Then Westerling picked up Bouchard's
note and shook his head sadly.
Poor Boucbardl You can see for
yourself" and he handed the note to
Bellini. II should have realized ear
lier that it was case for the doctor
and not for reprimand. Mad! Poor
the resiliency of mind for his task, as
hope you have, colonel"
II hope SO, SIR" replied Bellini.
"I've no doubt you have" said Wes-
terling. "Yoa are my choice!"

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency or
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
"This recipe is my own idea and Is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass Of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for flavouring.. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi'
late without any distress.
"My husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
Personally regard a dish Of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In stomach trouble, nervous prostra-
ton, etc., a Today trial of Grape-Nuts
will usually work wonders toward
nourishing and rebuilding and in this

was drumming in his temples when
the council rose; and, without word

to leave the room.
When Bouchard returned to his desk
he guessed the contents of the note

to read it's stereotyped expressions in
transferring him to perfunctory duty

range, and she could not resist re-
joicing In her heart.
That's the Browns!" exclaimed
Westerling In surprise.
The volume of fire increased. With
the rest of the frontier In darkness,
the Engadir section was an isolated
blaze. In it's light she saw his fea-
lures, without alarm but hardening in
logged intensity.
They've awakened to what they have
lost! They have been rushing up re-
serves and are making counter
attack. We must hold what we have
gained, no matter what the cost"
His last sentence was spoken over
his shoulder as he started for the
house.
Without changing her position,
hardly turning her head, she watched
until the firing began to lessen rap
idly. Then she heard his step. She
rose to face him, summoning back
the spirit of the actress.
"This Is better yet! I came to tell
you that the counter-attack failed!" he
said as he saw her appear from the
shelter Of the arbor.
She wondered If she were going to
fall. But the post Of the trellis was
within reach. She caught hold Of 1t
to steady herself. Failed!
"The killing-it must have been ter
rible!" her mind at last made her ex-
claim to cover her hardness of re-
Spouse to his mood.
"You thought Of that-as you should

He took her hands In his, pulsing
warm with the flowing red of his
strength. She let them remain life
lessly, as If she had not the will to
take them away, the instinct Of her
part again dominant. To him this was
another victory, and it was discovery
the discovery of melting weakness
in her for the first time, which magni-
fed his sense of masculine power. He
frightened his, grip slightly and she
shuddered.
"You are tired!" he said, and 1t hurt
her that he should be so considerate.
"The killing-to end that! It's all
I want!" she breathed miserably.
"And the end Is near!" he said.
Eyes, now, thanks to you!"
Thanks to her! And she must listen
and submit to his touch!
