CRETE. IS HAVEN FOR ExILES
Fu9itives From Many Lands In canea
Where No ExtraditIon Treaties
Are In Force.

Canea is II. Crete, and Is a most
dlsreputably picturesque and interest
Ing place. Crete is land of troubled
politics, a strategic point on which
four or five states had had their eyes
for the last decade, and until recently
It was garisoned by the troops Of
five nations. Canea is seaport on the
busiest Mediterranean ruote, where
no extradition treaties are in force. All
of which is another way Of saying that
Canea is poor place to display roll
of banknOtes and then go home alone
by dark street. There Is always po-
litical trouble Of one sort or another
on foot. and there are always numer-
GUS gentlemen of elastic morals from
Europe, Asia and Africa hanging about
the cafes, writes n traveller.
They are an interesting crew, these
exiles from three continents. They
range all the way from polished sol
diers Of fortune who have organized
and led revolutions of their own brew
ing, to ragged Egyptian donkey boys
fleeing from justice for heaven knows
what petty crime. One and all, they
have Travelled considerably; they have
the sophisticated polish of men of the
world, whether they are in rags or
broadcloth.
Conspicuous is the use of many
tongues among this doubtful element
of the population; they shift from Ian
guage to language and dialect to dia-
lect without effort and apparently
without thought. A Greek and an Al
gerian may be quarreling in their ma
tive idioms, and the alteration Is fol-
lowed with amused Indifference by
Turks, Egyptians, English, French,
Arabs, Italians. A very cosmopolitan
circle, the half-wOrld of Canea. ~

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 Sum
day, the ten or twelve who made up
his little Calvinistic 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, e1pectant 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 a 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.

threw her arms around his shoulders.
"The marki" cried Scull, raising
trembling hands.
David looked at the ribbon with a
start. "Why, yes, 1t is purple. But I
do not show it to you as sign that
am keeping my oath Of the Brother
hood. No." As he continued his voice
grew tender he seemed to be speaking
to himself or to some vision which the
wretched figure kneeling at his feet
could not see.
"You saved my life Just now,n he
went on. II would have thanked you
for ending it. as you ended the love
Of the one loved most In the world.
For the sake Of that dead love I prom
ise you that no one shall know from me

The groveling creature at David's
feet raised face Of incredulity.
"You give up the Brothers ven

Absolutely"

Scull looked up at him, a radiance
transfguring his face.
"God bless you, Larrence," he said
chokingly. "You do not know what
death means. You have only your own
life; I have-God help mel-two lives

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:

"Nol we shall 60 back to England.

David nodded wearily and went out.
A cold and dreary rain was still fall
ing, but 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 q
smile as to ultimate victory, and q
little rivulet Of rain trickled unceas-

The Story Begins.
In the little stone courthouse on that
Sabbath morning a hundred voices
were lifted in the stirring music of
Giardini's triumphal hymn. The peo-
pie of the countryside had gathered to
give thanks to God for the victory over
their savage foes. The vigor of the
chant swelled in stern strength which
was made beautiful by the rough voices
Of the pioneers. In the little room the
hymn echoed with the majesty Of a
cathedral chant:
Come, thou Almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing,
Help me to praise!
Fatherl all glorious,
Ger all victorious,
Come and reign over uS,
Ancient of daysl

nerve; his wife's hand trembled in his
