NINETEENTH EPISODE
The Cave of Despair.

Margery Golden was naturally OF a
happy disposition. Yet as she sat in
the June fragrance of the coler-
splashed rose garden and let her
thoughts dwell on the recent events
which had so rudely shattered her
many cherished ideals, the pensive-
eyed girl could not repress n long
drawn sigh which betrayed only too
clearly her distress of mind. From a
branch overhead liquid-noted robin
poured his melody of spring and glad
ness into the unheedng ears of the
silent and preoccupied figure on the
rustic bench.
Suddenly the feathered songster
ceased his joyous carol as Margery
heard the sound of approaching steps
on the graveled walk. The newcomer
stood looking wistfully down at the
sweet-faced girl whose golden hair
glinted in the shaft of sunlight filter
ing through the soft spring foliage.
She met his look with one Of sur
prised inquiry.
~ hardly expected to see you here,
Davy, after all that has happened"
she said in tones Of gentle reproof.
81 had to come, Margery," he an
swered quietly, II couldn't stay away
from you any longer. Won't you be-
lieve that / am truly sorry for what
1 have done and try to forgive meT"
The silent robin, which had been
regarding this masculine intruder
into its peaceful domain with some
uncertainty, now took wing in sud-
den lutter of apprehension. For at

that moment a heavy-featured indi-
vidual had crept up back Of the tree
with an charming stealthiness OF
manner. Unconscious Of the pres
ence Of the hidden eavesdropper, the
sad-eyed girl, after a little hesitation,
answered the impassioned plea Of Da-
lid Manley.
II do forgive you" she said In a
roice tremulous with emotion, and
hen, as she saw 4 hopcful light flash
nto the eyes Of her penitent com
,anion, she added In a firmer tone,
but you must not expect too much
# me at first, Davy. You have hurt
ne deeply and 1t is best that you
qtay away until the wound Is quite
tlealed."

Manley behind that solitary rock on
a previous occasion, and the equally
sudden emergence Of the Laughing
Mask a moment later. With feel
ing that at last she had stumbled
upon tangible clue, Margery sped
rapidly across the meadows In the
hope of reaching the undermined hill
before Davy should arrive by the
more circuitous route Of the highway.
To her relief, the coast was still
clear when she reached her destina-
ton, but when she had tofled half
way up the steep slope the unsuspect-
ing object Of her espionage came saun-
tering leisurely along the shaded road.
Margery darted into nearby laurel
thicket and from this opportune covert
kept an intent watch on the move
ments of the young man, who was now
picking his way along the crest Of
the ridge. AS he neared the isolated
bowlder he stopped, and then, appar-
emily satisfied he was free from OBJ
servation, disappeared behind that
great sphere of stone. A moment
later, as the breathlessly waiting girl
half expected, there issued from be-
hind that rocky screen figure clad
In the familiar habiliments Of the
Laughing Mask.
But at that instant another person
emerged from behind the bowlder and
descended the hillside within a few
yards of the thicket where the wide
eyed girl crouched In utter bewilder-
ment. For the newcomer was none
other than David Manley himself and
the solution of that battling mystery
seemed further Off than ever.

Union Meeting at Stevens Creek
Church.

1t WIS the writer's privilege and
pleasure to attend the Saturday ses-
sion of the union meeting of the 1st
division which was held at Stevens
Creek. The attendance was larger
than usual for the first day of the
union. Practically all of the churches
in the division were represented and
made encouraging reports as to every
phase of the church life. Rev. H. B.
White, the pastor of the church,, was
the only minister present. DR.. Jones
being prevented from attending on ac-
count of his revival services and also
on account of previous engagement
which he had made to assist in a
meeting at Kingstree. MIR. M. B.
Hamilton served as moderator and Mr..
L Le4nuel Harling as clerk. Two better
men for these places could not be
found.
Practically all of the topics arranged
for Saturday were discussed. Where
the appointed speakers were absent
other brethren present supplied their
places. Saturdays session was re-
garded by all present as a very profita-
Bile one. 1t certainly afforded much
genuine pleasure to the writer who al
ways enjoys attending services al
Stevens Creek and mingling with the
good people Of that community. There
is scarcely tree or stone or foot OF
ground about the churchyard that does
not suggest some sweet and hallowed
association of our boyhood days.
The Stevens Creek congregation dis
pensed the whole-souled hospitality
that they have been accustomed to ex.
tend to their guests through the years
of the past. The dinner, which was
bountiful and almost endless in a varie-
ty, was ample for several hun
dred more than were present.
We were unable to attend the Sun.
day services but have been informed
that two deacens, Mr.. w. M. Ransom
and Mr.. E. G. Lewis, were ordained,
Rev. j. A. Carson of Saluda preaching
the ordination sermon.
The next union meeting of the 1st
division will be held at Mountain Gre ek

President Wilson is pursuing the
wrong policy toward Germany"
This was universal question and
a very live one. The debaters were
