The minister, man Of God. rose slow
ly TO his feet. He, too, felt tears rising
from the depths. Love had made him
the apostle Of the people of the will
derness and he had knit their hearts to
his with bands of humble ministry. He
had never before addressed so large an
audience as this. Sunday after Sun
day, the ten or twelve who made up
his little Calvlnistic flock, lacking a
church building, gathered In the homes
of his elders. Henry Rice and James
Armstrong; the foundations of Goshen
chapel had been scarcely planned; but
today he found a hundred men and
women watching him, expectant of
spiritual comfort. No one appreciated
better than he the sufferings, the be-
reavements through which they had
passed. In his meek and heroic spirit
he thanked God for the high honor be-
slowed upon him, that to him should
be given the words to address so great
company. In voice that rang
with prophecy, he read aloud that
thrilling call which concludes the four
teenth chapter of the Gospel Of Luke |;
and as he lifted his eyes from the
book, he found resting on him the clear
steady gaze Of the threescore back
woodsmen.

Why Washington Was Not a siqner.

At the time the Declaration of indie
pendence was given to the world.
Washington was at the head of the
patriot army in New York state, trying
hard to keep Lord Howe and his Brit
ish soldiers from capturing the state;
and that is why his name does not APP

tai document. 1t is pretty certain that
had he been conveniently near he
would have been asked to put his name
at the head of the list.

he sank heavily upon a chair and
bowed his head upon his hands, there
to sit for hours In a numb wrestling
with bitterness that were beyond his
power to shake Off.
After long while, he rose and drew
the pistol from its place-wiped the
dampness from its shining barrel and
gazed at 1t with unseelng eyes.

Scull turned paler. He had freed
himself from the girls clasp, and sud
denly his knees loosened beneath him
and he sank at David's feet. Lydia
threw her arms around his shoulders.

trembling hands.
David looked at the ribbon with a
start. "Why, yes, 1t is purple. But /

Lydia stopped quickly and lifted Da-

She went hastily from the room. The
two men stood facing each other and
for a while there was silence. Then
David spoke slowly:

David nodded YEARLY and went out.
A cold and dreary rain was still fall
ing, but a ray of light shone from the
tavern door on the upturned face of the
dead Indian. David stopped and
looked down upon the sightless visage
for a moment and then laughed. The
dreadful features were twisted into a
smile as to ultimate victory, and a
little rivulet Of rain trickled unceas-
No more of wretched life; no more of

Davd's hand stole unconsciously to
the pistol that hung heavily within the
