Awakening.

1t was late afternoon when Lanyard
wakened from sleep SO deep and
dreamless that nothing could have in
duced it less potent than sheer sys-
temic exhaustion, at once nervous,
muscular and mental
A profound and sitting lethargy be-
numbed his senses. There was stu
por in his brain and all his limbs ached
duly He opened dazed eyes upon
blank darkness. In his ears sounded
a vast silence.
And in that strange moment of awak-
ening he was conscious of no individ-
uality-it was, for the time, as if he
had passed in slumber from one exist
ence to another, sloughing in the
transition all his threefold existence

drew up at the end of shallow pocket
of a street a scant half-block in depth.

Come, then" he told her-"and not

She signifed assent with another
nod, and promptly he turned to an ad-

out his flash-lamp, and passed through.
Without sign Of hesitancy she fol

a dark and noisome souvenir of that
wild medieval Paris whose effacement
is an enduring monument to the fame
of the good Baron Haussmann.
For all its might and its omniscience,
Lanyard doubted if the Pack had as
yet identified Michael Lanyard with
that ill-starred Marcel who once had
been as intimate with this secret way
as any skulking Tom of it's feline
hordes
But with this one confidence was
never akin to foolhardiness; and If,
before leaving Troyon's back door, he
had paused to take the girls hand
and had drawn 1t through his arm-it
was his left arm that he thus dedi-
Gated to gallantry-his right hand
remained unhampered and was never
far from the grip of his automatic.
Nor was he altogether trustful of his
companion. Momentarily he grew more

of added pressure on his arm, the most
subtle suggestion that she wasn't alto

one bent on beguiling. to lead him on
by some intimation-the more tenuous
and elusive the more provoking-that

Objectionable
But he failed to find anything of this
In her manner.
So what was he to think? That she
was alert enough to appreciate how
ruinous to her design would be auy
such advances?
In such perplexity he brought her
TO the mouth of the alley and there
pulled up for reconnaissance before
venturing forth into the narrow. dark
and utterly deserted side street that
presented itself
At this the girl gently disengaged
her hand and drew away pace or
two. and when Lanyard had satisfied
himself that there were no Apaches

standing there, just within the en-

The enigma of the girl so deeply in
trigued his imagination that it was
only with difficulty that he concocted
, noncommittal telegram to Roddy's
I acquaintance in the prefecture de po
| lice-that imposing parsonage who had
watched with the man from Scotland
Yard at the platform gates in the Care
du Nord.
It was couched in English when
eventually composed and submitted to
the telegraph clerk with a fervent, II
inaudible, prayer that he might be
ignorant of the tongue.

tant development Urgent.
"RODDY."
Whether or not this were Greek to
the man behind the wicket in the tele-
graph bureau, 1t was accepted with
complete indifference-or rather, with
an interest that apparently evaporated
upon receipt Of the fees. Lanyard
couldn't see that the clerk favored him
with as much as a curious glance be-
fore he turned away to lose himself,
to bury his identity finally and forever
under the incognito Of the Lone Wolf.
He couldn't have rested without TAX
ing that one step to compass the arrest
of the American assassin; now, with
luck and prompt action on the part of
the prefecture, he felt sure that Roddy
would be avenged by M. de Paris. But
1t was quite as we'll that there should
be no clue whereby the author Of the
mysterious telegram might be traced.
It was, then, not an ill-pleased Ian
yard who slipped off into the night and
the rain; but his evaporation was
elaborate when the first object that
met his gaze was that wretched tiacre,
back in place before the door, Lucia
Bannon leaning from it's lowered win
dow, the cocher on his box brandish-
ing an importunate whip at the ad-
venturer.
He barely escaped choking on sup
pressed profanity, and for two sous
would have swung on his heel and
ignored the girl deliberately. But he
didn't dare-close at hand stood ser
geaut de Vile, inquisitiVe eyes bright
beneath the dripping vizor Of his cap,
keenly welcoming this diversion Of a
cheerless hour.
With at least outward semblance Of
resignation Lanyard approached the
window.
81 have been guilty of some stupid
ity, perhaps?" he inquired with lip
civility that knew no echo In his heart.
But am sorry"
"The stupidity is mine," the girl in
terrupted in accents tense with agi-
tation. "Mr. Lanyard, IL"
Her voice faltered and broke in a
short, dry sob, and she drew back with
an effort of instructive distaste for
public emotion. Lanyard smothered
an impulse to demand roughly: well,
what now?' and came closer to the
window.
There is something else l can do,
Miss Bannon?"
Il don't know. I've Just found Il

delivery and diction are treat to
listen to. His discourse was a clear
presentation of the Gospel message for
the Day 9th Sunday after Trinity,
which was taken from the 18th chapter
of st. Luke. The subject was that of
the parable of the Pharisee and pub
ican; and the lessons to be drawn from
it were presented in such an interesting
and instructive way that everyone
present gave closest attention.
During the collection of the Aims,
the choir rendered an anthem most &C.
ceptably, the manner of its rendition
reflected great credit on the careful
and painstaking work of the talented
organist and choir-master, Mr.. W. E.
Gossette.
The wardens, vestrymen and ushers
are most cordial in welcoming strang-
ers to st. Thomas and thus everyone
is made to feel at home by their
courtesy, so that together with the
beautiful services which st. Thomas
gives its people, one can not but come
away spiritually refreshed and feel
that "this is none other but the House
of God, and this is the gate of
Heaven"
Those who have not been privileged
to attend services or worship at st.
Thomas should seize the opportunity
now and GO, and when you go make
yourself known and you will be cordial
ly received and given q chance to as

is being done among the Colored people
of Chicago by the American Church.

for Colored Boys--An
Oak from an Acorn---
Its Growth and Needs

To further the advancement and
strengthen the development there is al
so an organization of Boy Scouts, re-
ceiving regular weekly drills under the
instruction of Lieutenant R. D Lewis,
formerly of the sth Regiment.
Musical training, both vocal and in
strumental is also furnished through
the kindness of voluntary instructors.
The boys have Glee Club of twelve
members who sing impressively.
The Louise Training School for
Colored Boys has now enrolled fifty in
mates ranging in age from four to thir-
teen years. The whole number cared
for since the formal opening under the
Board of Trustees is one hundred and
forty-three.
This being the only institution of the
kind in the state, exclusively for Col
ored boys, it is unable to take charge
of all who apply because of lack of
room. The organization hopes that it
will be able at no distant date, to Sc
cure proper location on a farm where
there may be ample room, and the OPP
portunity to add the art of agriculture
to the course of training.
The choice of a suitable site within

been made, and can be secured when

A VISIT TO ST. THOMAS CHURCH

In this day and generation wher
people on all sides are complaining Of
a lack Of Church attendance (or of ar
irreverent attitude of many who do at
tend some churches, but when they d.
it is to the great annoyance of Others
who have come for worship), it is like
reaching an oasis in the desert to find
that the Colored people here in Chi
cago have a church of which they can
justly be proud, church whose name
is indissolubly connected with that OF
the late Reverend Father j. B. Massiah
Of ever sainted memory.
On last Sunday forenoon when the
parks and beaches were drawing their
crowds, all roads around Wabash
avenue seemed to lead to st. Thomas
Church, which is favored in its central
location next the Y. M. C. A.
The service to which the worshippers
came focking was their Monthly II
O'Clock Choral Eucharist, and that they
appreciated having the holy sacrifice
of the Mass offered at that hour was
evidenced by the crowded but most
earnest and reverent congregation
there assembled for worship. As on
all Sundays the service started at IL
o'clock, sharp, and those who came
later found seats at a premium. Can
this be said of many of our city
churches on such fine day, weather.
wise, as it was last Sunday.
The service commenced with the
grand old Professional Hymn, "On'
ward, Christian Soldiers" and as the
vested choir of 80 men and boys went
on up the center aisle, singing as they
marched, the words, "With the Cross
of Jesus going on BEFORE" was given
a new meaning for one could not helI
but feel that here was a choir that
believed what it sang and practise6
what it believed for it was led by the
Crucifer carrying the processiona
Cross and supported by four torch
bearers in their proper vestments Of
white cottas and red cassocks.
The Priest-in-charge of st. Thomas
(Rev. Father Simons) was the cele
brant of the Mass and was fully vested
in Chasuble, Maniple, etc. He was
attended by servers and acolytes who
are certainly being well-trained il
their duties, and by their great as
sistance aid their beloved pries
in having everything about the Alta
done "decently and in order" Tit
whole service was most ornate in every
respect. Following the singing of the
Creed, in a manner that left no doub
as to what the people of st. Thomas
believe, particularly at the Incarnatui
when they all knelt to show by that act
their belief in the great mystery OF
the Incarnation of their Lord and
Savior, came the sermon which wa;
