busy and that IT would be impossible
TO Join him. much as she would have
liked to- The next morning a pigeon
delivered a note to Hassam Ali. Judo
ra already having gone upon her new
quest Hassam All destroyed the mes
sage. So Storm was given leave TO
infer that ZudOra had ignored his note
ZudOra went out TO the village. The
house occupied by these two old curiO
collectors was ramshackle AFFAIR.
II looked to Zudora as though some
violent hurricane had taken II up miles
away and set II down upon the hill
haphazardly and indifrerently. The
sight of II did not create any dlstrust
in her mind. Most collectors were mad
persons. who cared little or nothing
for the roof over their heads or the
clothes on their backs SO long az they
possessed the wherewithal to pursue
their idiosyncrasies. She learned that
the two old fellows were twins. One
of them met her at the station. and the
other greeted her at the door Of the
house A quick glance at the interior
of the house convinced her that what,
curiOs they had were securely locked
away. The first thing she did was to
ask the complete history Of the missing
stone Il had come from India orig
inally. a part OF some loot long years
before the mutiny Its real value lay
in Its eternal fire. There were times
when this CLEAN was discernible even
in dark room. They wanted 1t back
very badly and would be willing to pay
as much IA $500 for its return. Judo
ra inquired if the brothers had seen
any strangers recently. No. Did the
village people know anything about
their collection? The old men laughed
and shook their tOusled heads.
They know nothing They think
thHG we are "A couple of foolish old
misers No; In no way can we account
for the disappearance." lis

Y. M. c. A. SECRETARY
 SPEAKER AT SERVICE.
Took Place of Rev. Mir. GoIdie, De-
 tained by Illness.

When General Secretary Edwin Hill began the customary open air r. M. c. A. service at the Buckingham Memo rial at on Sunday afternoon there were 19 in the group, including the young lady who played the diminutive organ for the gospel hymns and the boy cornetist who lent his energies thereto also. But by the time the speaker had come to the climax of his discourse almost all of the seats were filled, and along the iron fence there was an attentive row of listen CTS, men, g, woman or two, and quite a string of urchins who seemed to enjoy the services, and particularly the cor net.
 Secretary Hill announced that next Sunday Rev. Joel B. SIocum, D. D., would speak, and the Sunday after that Rev. Charles H. Ricketts of Greeneville. He said that a short time before he had received a telephone message that Rev. L. Mclean Goldie of Yantic, who was down as the speaker, had been taken i'll, and having failed to secure a speaker in the short interim, he was forced to talk him. self. All last summer from June until September every speaker was on hand as planned. He hoped to have MT. Goldie later on.
 MT. Hill took his text from the first epistle of John 1: 8, Behold, what manner of love the Father hath be- slowed upon us that we should be called the children of God. The writer makes the text vital and brimful of meaning to every one of us. Consider the kind of love this suggests. Among little children, there is a pairing up together as for example they mingle in school life. This is a love at once simple and childlike, pure and beau tiful. Boys away at college as room mates or in social life. come to have a manly love for each other a love that comes with chumship, and makes them verify willing to die for each other. There is the love of a noble young man for a beautiful young woman in the days of courtship, and how sweet and pure this love, ripening into marriage Then there is the love in the home, and in the family. But there is a love different from all of these, a love that knows no limit. No man can be what he ought to be unless he has felt the thrill in his heart and life of the love of Jesus Christ. The quality and power and reach of the love of God earth cannot give nor take away.
 President James L. Case pronounced the benediction.
