 It was his first ambitious venture in literature, and Adrian Moore had be- gun the reading of his little screed with fear and trembling. Then, as he got into the soul of his subject, he for got self and was almost brilliant in his delivery.
 All his former trepidation returned, however, as he came back to the harsh realities with the last sentence en- nunciated. It was a little skit Of pathos, romance and description, the result of two-weeks' vacation in the cider country" downstate, just as an- tique and crude in the present as half d century before.
 He faced his critics now-they were five. The Chosen Six comprised a club of newspaper writers who met and ate-and drank moderately-once a week In the rear room of a Greek restaurant. There, when they got warmed up, more than one of the group forgot stern impractical routine stuff and for the first time poem, scenario, a magazine effort would see the light.
 It's just a dash-off," observed Moore almost apologetically as he sat down, and blunt Jerry Gowan, who wrote leaded editorials, in his usual unsympathetic way made the com ment

 All this was of no moment to Moore. He glanced anxiously at Rorke Vivian. He was the oldest of the party He had done London, Paris, New York in a journalistic way, had written three books, spoke little, and then to pur- pose. He sat now, his finely chiseled face half hidden by his hand, and said nothing!

 Wanted to see you, Moore" with casual manner obviously affected. You stirred me-some." He laughed mirthlessly. That screed of yours l couldn't get it out of my mind all night
 Tt didn't seem to impress you much when read it!" observed Moore, quite spicily.
 I'm not given to wearing my heart on my sleeve, as you ought to know" retorted Vivian gravely. "It hit me hard. You know I came from the cider country and you've caught it's spirit famously.

 There was but one thought in his mind-to recover the abandoned man. uscript. With eagerness and rapid ity he reached the spot where he had scattered the leaves in desperation. He climbed down into the ravine. He searched in vain Moore could not find trace of the sheets. He climbed up an incline, the top of which was lined by hedge, to rest and think.
 He had kept no copy of the screed nor had he preserved the original notes Could he reproduce it? Not in it's original freshness, he discon- solately decided. He fell into dreamy maze.
 What was that? Quite dozing, Moore started up. From the other side of the hedge a sweet, mellow voice was reading He could scarce credit the evidence of his senses-the last sentences of his screed
 Moore peered through the hedge. An old gentleman and lovely young girl occupied rustic chairs, and the girl held in her hands the lost sheets of his manuscript.
 The old man was wiping his eyes. His voice was full of emotion as he spoke.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

The Bryan Daily Herald announced
Sunday morning that 1t would sus.
pend publication from and after that
date. The reason ascribed was the
failure Of its editor to be elected a
member OF the Associated Press. His
failure of election was charged to OBJ
jections raised by the Eagle, and
thereby an attempt was made to ere.
ate prejudice against the Eagle, by
chargin II with injustice. The
only objection raised by the Eagle
was that the newspaper field OF Bryan
and Brazos county would not support
two Associated Press papers. A plain

exists-the population Of the city and

Rua, Maori prophet" polygamist
and moonshlner. sometimes called the
"Ma0ri emperor"-although unjustih-
ably, 1t appears--has been convicted
by a jury at Auckland, New Zealand,
upon certain counts, after trial Of
extraordinary length. Rua, his pre-
tensions to divine powers, his temple
and stronghold in the wild and almost
inaccessible "King country" in north
ern New Zealand, his fight with po-
licemen several months ago, In which
several men were killed or wounded;
his previous defiance Of authority
all this constitutes one Of the most
interesting chapters In the history Of
New Zealand.
Rua first attracted attention about
ten years ago. He set himself up as
sort Of Messiah in the Urewera dis.
trict, which is near the Bay Of
Plenty, on the north island Of the do

the "King country" from old Maori
usage, is sort of government reserva-

tive of the aboriginals Of New Zea.

Rua was slave born, but he broke
Maori tradition by assuming the pre-
negatives Of chief, and in addition
he mixed with native superstition

was glib and cunning, and before long
