secrets about Old Hilary's
past come to light in the

Growing in the Mind.

II is said that Coleridge once ex-
claimed to Charles Lamb: II could
write plays just as well as Shake
speare, if l had q mind tol" "Yes,"
said Lamb, "that is just what you
lack" Ii is blessing, however. that
even though we may not be able to
do the work of great genius, we
may count upon growth in strength
and breadth of mind. You can do
with your mind today what you could
not do five years ago. If you will
give your mind an opportunity TO
grow by hard, honest, faithful, severe
work, you will be able to do much
more five years from now than you
are able to do today. If your mind
becomes poisoned with low ideals,
with poor literature, with wrong con-
ceptions of life, you may as well ex-
pect it to grow, as to expect plant
to grow in your garden when you
have allowed every sort of plant en-
envy TO burrow about the roots and
feed on the stalks and leaves.

SHRINE OF THE "HoLY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves Contains One OF
Most jealousy Guarded Relics
of the Roman Church.

At intervals of many years the old
Prince Bishopric of Treves, wakens out
of Its half-slumbering condition and
becomes the center of great pilgrims

MAINS this quiet old town, claiming to-
be 1900 years older than Rome, Is the
shrine of the Holy Coat" one of the
most jealousy guarded relics in the
possession of the Roman church.
The citizens of Treves are very
proud of this seamless garment and
they have given it prominent place
on their coat-of-arms, says the Dundee
Advertiser. 1t was not until 1196 that
the Holy Coat" was placed over the
high altar, but 1t was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. 1t was kept in a Sc
cret place Of the cathedral known only,
to few, and there were many who
doubted it's existence. A guide book
Of 1914 says:
THE existence Of the relic at pres
ent is rather doubtful-at least, it is
not visible. The attendants of the
church say 1t is walled up" All doubts.

Englishmen, Boroday, Huff and old
Hilary himself. And old Hilarys hour
was almost come.
Old Hilary lived well. as he might.
His foreign servants We're artists. He
liked good food, good wines, good
books. He even had few pictures
from the leading galleries of Europe.
He hung them in the house at Voting
ham, with cynical smile.
Safest place in the world" he said
to old Henriette. who protested. "The
village has never even heard of them !"
And so In this atmosphere with
which he surrounded himself, of fine
living and wrong thinking, of atheism
raised almost to religion, of no law
and no Christ, old Hilary had brought
up his daughter. He had been proud
of her in his way; absolutely selfish.
too. She had had no other compan-
ion. He taught her his unbelief, point
ing out the churchgoers, as they drove
together on Sunday mornings, as
slaves to myth. Also, he taught her
to hate lie, and to give aims. Early
in her life their drives together had
been punctured with questions.
"But If my mother is dead, where is
she?" asked Elinor on one of them.
Old Hilary had eyed her from under
eyebrows that were already gray.
"She lives in the memories of those
that knew and loved her."
"But never knew her. Then for me
she doesn't live But Mademoiselle-"
she checked herself. Suspicion had
been dawning in old Hilary's eyes.

and quoted Darwin and Haeckel to
her. But at the end of the drive he
| interviewed Mademoiselle, and sent
| her flying to her chamber, where from
under the carpet beneath her bureau,
she got her rosary and wept over it.
Elinor was twenty the year her ia

too. Old Hilary had seen TO that; she
knew Malato. Haeckel, Bakunin spoke

CHAPTER II.

Once a year the. association closed
its books. During all of the June be-
fore old Hilary's sudden death, Elinor
had been busy arranging figures, col
lecting data in the cryptic shorthand
she knew. Then, on the first of July,
Hilary gave his annual dinner.
The band, from twelve, was down to
five. Boroday, the Russian, glanclng
around the table, shrugged his shout
ders. 1t was the chance of the game
they played, and percentages would
be larger. Nevertheless there was a
weight of depression over them all"
Elinor was at her fa hers right,
simply dressed. The dinners were al
ways trial to her. She was palpitat-
ingly anxious that the papers before
old Hilary be in order and accurate.
They were her work, The deeper sig
nificance of the meeting she was not
so much ignorant of as profoundly in
different to. If her father did thing,
it took on order, became law.
There were present Talbot and Leth-
bridge, the Englishmen; Boroday,
whose rescue from Siberia had made
him old Hilary's henchman; and
young HUFF. Huff was the mechani-
clan. He had been trained in the
Bleriot works; airplanes to wireless,
automobiles to automatic pistols, he
knew them-all makes all grades. If
old Hilary was the brains, HUFF was
the hands of the band.
He sat beside Elinor, and watched
her with worshiping eyes. Perhaps it
was as well that old Hilary was intent
on his food and on the business in
hand.
! The routine of the annual dinner
seldom varied. Five of them then
that last dinner around the table, II
evening clothes, well set up, spare
three of them young all temperate
honorable about women-as polished
as harmless in appearance, as death
dealing, as the cleaning projectile 0
twelve-inch gun!
First old Hilary went over the books
1t might have been the board meetin
of some respectable bank. He stoo
at his end of the table, and the ligh
from the chandelier fell full on him.
"I have to report, gentlemen" ht
would say, "a fairly successful year
This Is where 1t differed from bank
The association had had no bad years,
while our expenses have been heavy,
returns have been correspondingly so"
| And so on, careful lines of figures, out
lays and returns, to the end. For old
Hilary was secretary and treasurer as
well as president.
This time, when he had reached the
end Of what was to be his last report,
he paused and cleared his throat.
Unfortunately, that is not all, gem

own but DEATH And 1t is my sad
duty to report, this last year, the loss
of three of our number. A calamitous
year. gentlemen"
He might have been a trustee, la
menting the loss of valued supporters

Afterward, in the library, with Ell
lnor embroidering by the fire, they
cashed in. They dealt only in cash.
Securities were dangerous, Once or
twice Boroday had successfully nego-
tiated with a fence in Paris, but al
ways under old Hilary's protest.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1917-09-07

The band had been gathered with
much care. Responsibility, order, de-
corum-these spelled safety to old
Hilary's astute mind. Most of them
were younger sons of English landed
families, with a sprinkling of other ma
tionalities. Young Huff was an Aus
tralian, for instance, the son of a
wealthy sheep-owner. Boroday the
Russian-implicated in the bomb
throwing that destroyed the minister
of war-was nobleman. Old Hilary
had got him out of Siberia during
those early days when he righted what,
to his crooked mind, were wrongs.
There were twelve In the band at the
beginning, and for five years there
were no changes. Then came the kid
mapping and holding for ransom Of
Macintosh the banker in Iowa, and
the unexpected calling out of the state
militia. The band had hidden Mack
intosh in a deserted mine and three of
the band went down in the shooting
that followed his discovery. In the
looting of Tiffany's vaults, which has
never been published, a Frenchman
named Dupres was killed; and only
recently a tire had burst after the
holding up of the car of the governor
Of Delaware, and their car, overturn-
ing, had crushed Jerrold, the mechanic
of the band and old Hilary's chauffeur

1t Was a Mistake

Capital punis h m e mt was
abolished in Arizona last fall
after a persistent agitation for
its removal from the statute
books. 1t does not need column
of statistics to prove that the
change has been a mistake.
There has been an increasing
number of murders in Arizona
since December 8 when the death
penalty was abolished, some of
them, as was the crime on the
Mesa Florence road, diabolical in
every way. w it h a steady
growing contempt for the sac
redness of human life, a lynch
ing, sooner or later, became
almost inevitable.
Arizona has George w. P.
Hunt and other faddists to thank
for the first lynching in thirty
years. Arizona Copper Comp.
