Then he eased the slight form Of the
Preacher down upon the deep pine
: needles.
Just above the heart blood was pour
ing from the shabby habit. Sandry
tore it away, to find a clean small hole
in the white skin, which was fine and
delicate as a woman's. The ball had
gone straight through, tearing a huge
ragged aperture where it emerged in
the back from which the red stream
flowed in a flood.
Cloth" cried Sandy, give me
cloth"
His voice broke the spell that bound
Siletz and she sprang forward, tear
ing her garments, ripping out of her
breast some mysterious womanly yes
ture that was white and soft.

was crying with gasping sobs, Lord
of the heavens! Spare himi Spare
him!" And only Poppy Ordway saw
the packet which tumbled unheeded
to the ground. With one catlike, grace
full movement she threw herself for
ward, snatched it up and hid it in her
own bosom.
Sandry hastily made congresses and
bound them upon the wounds. He tore
off what was left of his tattered shirt
and added it. He took handfuls of
leaves from the hazelbrush and pad
ded the congresses, binding them
tighter and tighter. But it was hearts

The handsome blue eyes turned
wonderingly upon her.
"Daughter-little one of the tender

He closed his eyes and lay for a
time in silence, the delicate tracery
on his face emerging more clearly as
a pallor spread beneath it. 1t was the
divine record of years spent with his
God in the high places, though here
and there a dropping line bespoke a
vague, forgotten sadness.
Presently he murmured:
"The Winds of the Mighty One are

Again a silence and he opened his
eyes with a return to earth. But in

The tastes and habits Of a young

to show their tendencies. The long

the solitary occupant to find some new
strolling fellow, situated as aimlessly
as he, with nothing to do but kill

strolled across lots and were about to
run up the steps of the shut-dp home

arrested their attention. A couple Of
amateur musicians, strolling in search
of pastime, formed a link Of -four,
lively comrades, each wellknown to
the other. Boys" broke in the young
host, II see you have brought your

From the time they rushed pell-mell
into the lonely house until long past
midnight there rose pandemonium'
brought out by the screeching violin,
the shrill V~ictrola, and the deep BEL
low of the bass drum. This caused the
peaceful neighbors to wake from their
slumbers, with a shrek of terror, as
they rushed to the window, awaiting
new developments. At the outer door
they were confronted by a dark figure
within the shadows. The young men
rushed toward him, convinced that ne
was a prowling intruder. 1t was the
elder brother, who had returned from
seeing his best girl home quite awhile
ago and who had sought quiet rest

LONDON, October 9.-Sincc NJ. Bark,

been in London talk of tho impending
removal OF restrictions on the Jews in
Russia has greatly increased. It is
known that NJ. isyrl< has had con
fcrcnccs with the Rothschilds. the
Montetiorcs. the Samucls and other
leading Jewish bankers and statesmen
at which the question OF Russian
finances was discussed. NJ Bark has
shown himself i'm earnest sympathy
with the reform movement. and tho
by those who know.
By special invitation w. a. Appleton.
one of the leading labor representa-
tivcs here to-day, met NJ. Bark to dis

dent of the Workers League for Jew

At the invitation of NJ Bark / have
Sccii num- anu 1 nave Occn profoundly
interested in his explanation OF the
efforts made by the Russian govern
mcnt to deal with what I know is a
very difficult problem. First he ex-
planned it to be difficult for him to
write because he is concerned with
finance. and that questions such as
have been asked should more properly
be addressed to tho Minister OF the
Interior or the Russian amba ssador,
both of whom are in a position to
state very fully what steps have al
ready been taken.
While considerations Of official
courtesy made 1t difficult for him to
write, he was quite prepared to talk.
and he readily agreed that should
convey 10 the Jews OF Great Britain
and America the information he gave
me. He pointed out that problems of
race and creed frequently created eX-
trtordnary difficulties for, govern
mcutS.
Russia had had her share of such
difficulties, She had been anxious to
overcome them, and it had been for
some time a question OF discovering
mad claims .or consideration. and the
government had been pressed to pass
laws comforting additional rights upon
him.
Nm attempt to pass laws OF this de-
scription would have involved contro-
NcrSy and, perhaps, hostility, and II
had seemed wiser for the Russian gov
eminent 10 take The situation entire

Ties and privileges by administrative
action. and in the almost certain hope
of having tho action Endorsed and en-
larged AT the termination OF the war.
