Many a name reached my cans ia

since; and once or twice, as we slowly
made our way through the throng,
Cassion pointed out to me some char
acter Of Importance in the province,
or paused to present me with formal
ity to certain officials whom he knew
1t was thus we approached the dais,
and awaited our turn to extend felicl-
tatlons to the governor. Just before

He was a dark man, stern Of face,
and with strange, furtiye eyes, con-
cealed behind long ,lashes and over
hanging brows. Yet he was most gra-
cious to Du L'Hut, and when he turned
and perceived Monsieur CassiOn next
in line, smiled and extended his hand
cordially!
"Ah, Francois, and so you are here
at last, and ever welcome. And this"
he bowed low before me in excess of
gallantry, mo doubt will be the Made

HIppocras-ths Liquor.

That Pepys should have drunk hip
pocras at the Guildhall in 1868 with
out knowing that 1t was an intoxicant
is somewhat remarkable. For this
aromatic cordial, which originally was
supposed to be mingled according to
the recipe Of Hippocrates, was import
ed here in Saxon times, and remained
a popular liquor for centuries. 1t bore
a close affinity to piment, which in
the year 817 was forbidden to the
clergy, except on special occasions,
by the council of Aix-la- Chapelle. In
Elizabeth's time hippocras was usual
ly served at the beginning of a ban
quet, being "of so comforting a nature
that the stomach would be at once
put into good temper" Apparently It
had an opposite effect on Pepys.-Lon-

Clock for Crown Prince.

Attesting their loyalty to the land
of their nativity and as an expression
of good will towards the royal fam.
lily, Japanese residents of Washing
ton, Montana, and Alaska have had
made bronze and onyx clock as
gift for the crown prince of Japan.
Before the gift can be officially ten
dered, however, permission must be
obtained from the royal household.
The clock is 5 feet high and IA
by IA inches at the base. Surmount-
ing the entire clock is a globe with
a bronze and silver meridian ring
encircling the earth at the equator.
On separate limb is a highly polished
bronze ball representing the sun in
it's relation to the earth at the various
times of day.

CHAPTER ".
In the PaIaee Of the Intendant.

In the Palace of the lntendant.
The huge palace Of the intendant,
between the bluff and the river, was
ablaze with lights, and already crowd
ed with guests at our arrival ! had
seen nothing of Chevet since the
morning, nor did he appear now; but
Monsieur Cassion was prompt enough,
and congratulated me on my appear
ance with bows, and words of praise
which made me flush with embarrass-
ment.
An officer met us, pointing out the
way, and, after he had assisted us to
descend from the chair, we advanced
slowly over carpet Of clean straw
toward the gayly lighted entrance.
Soldiers lined the walls on either side,
and overhead blazed a beacon sus-
pended on a chain. 1t was a scene
rather grotesque and weird in the red
glow, and took Cassions arm gladly,
feeling just little frightened by the
strange surroundings.
'Where Is my Uncle Chevet?" l
asked, more as a relief, than because
cared, although l was glad of his
absence because Of D'Artigny.
'In faith, l know not" he answered
lightly. 81 won him a card, but he
was scarce gracious about it. In some
wine shop likely with others of his
kind"
There were servants at the door and
an officer, who scanned the cards Of
those in advance of us, yet passed Cas-
sion, with a glance at his face, and
word Of recognition. l observed him
turn and stare after me, for our eyes
met, but, almost before knew what
had occurred, found myself in side
room, with a maid helping to remove
my wraps, and arrange my hair.
l will not describe the scene in the
great ballroom, for now, as l write,
the brilliant pageant is but a dim
memory, confused and tantaIizing. l
recall the bright lights overhead, and
along the walls, the festooned banners,
the raised dais at one end, carpeted
with skins of wild animals, where the
governor stood, the walls covered with
arms and trophies Of the chase, the
guard Of soldiers at each entrance, and

He laughed coarsely, and resumed his
meal.

"Cassion! Surely you would not wed

He pushed back his chair, regarding
me with scowling eyes.

do you think yourself a queen to
choose? 'Tis rare luck you have such
an offer. Monsieur Cassion is going

But, monsieur, do not love him !;

draw back he had gripped me by the
arm. Enough Of that, young lady.
He is my choice, and that settles it.

it would be difficult. Chevet, Cassion,

 The establishment of an assembling plant by the Ford Automobile company in Birmingham would be in line with their policy in other large cities. Already such plants have been built in Atlanta, Mem- phis and other cities of that size through out the country and it is stated that the next one is to be constructed here.
 E. w. Brownell, president of the Brown ell Automobile company, agents for the Ford cars here, stated last night tha { he had received no notice from the gen eral offices of the Ford company that such an assembling plant was to be built here. He stated, however, that the con struction of such a plant would not be out of line with the policy of the Ford company.

it is not the Acts of the Apostles, as is commonly stated. It is not the acts of all the apostles, since the greater part of the book deals with men not of the apostolic band, for example Stephen and Philip and Saul. It is the acts of Jesus continued by the Holy Spirit One key to an understanding of the opening chapters of Acts is the fact that the Caddusees led in persecut- ing Peter and John, because they preached the resurrection, which the Saddusees denied.
 The programme for today will begin with the conferences at 5 o'clock pr.

 ''The Holy Spirit" declared pr. Ba- ker, lis not merely an influence but is in reality a person. He calls. He teaches. He can be grieved. He can be lied to-. The Holy Spirit was in the world be- fore the deluge. He was here during the period just preceding the issuing in of the new era. He is here today In a most impressive manner the speaker made clear his point that the Holy Spirit is indeed d person.
 MT Leavell sketched the first seven chapters of Acts. The Uniform Sunday school lessons for this year are in the Acts and Epistles, hence the discussion is especially helpful to teachers and pupils using these lessons.
 MT Leavell showed that the Book of Acts has been studied by the Sun day school world six times before in the Uniform series. This present cycle of lessons is the seventh and Acts oc- cupies the fifth year of the six years work, which makes up the cycle.
 In sketching the opening chapters of Acts the fact that the narrative is q continuation of the gospel by Luke; that
