beings like himself. He had been met
with suspicion and spears. They had
not even listened to him. Rage and
hatred consumed him..
They made a detour about the hos
tile village and resumed their journey
toward the coast.
All the while Jacks training went
on under the guidance Of Akut. Yet,
though the boy loved the jungle, he
had not let his selfish desires out
weigh the sense Of duty that had
brought him to a realization Of the
moral wrong which lay beneath the
adventurous escapade that had brought
him to Africa. His love Of father and
mother was strong within him, too
strong to permit unalloyed happiness
which was undoubtedly causing them
days Of sorrow.
And so he held tight to his deter
minatiOn to find a port upon the coast
where he might communicate with
them ana receive funds for his return
to London. There he felt sure that he
could now persuade his parents to let
him spend at least Il portion of his
time upon those African estates which
from little careless remarks dropped
at home he knew his father possessed.
That would be something-better at
least than Il lifetime of the cramped
and cloying restrictions of civilization.
And so he was rather contented
than otherwise as he made his way in
the direction Of the coast, for, while
he enjoyed the liberty and the savage
pleasures OF the wild, his conscience
was at the same time clear, for he
knew that he was doing all that lay In
his power 10 return to his parents. He
looked forward, too, to meeting white
men again-Creatures OF his own kind,
for there had been many occasions
upon which he had longed for other
companionship than that of the old
ape.
And Mt last the much dreamed OF
moment came. They were passing
through a tangled forest when the
boys sharp eyes discovered from the
lower branches through which he was
travelling an old but well marked spoOr

me to pieces at sight. Black men would
kill me with their spears or arrows.
And now white men, my own kind,
have fired upon and driven me away.
Are all the creatures Of the world
my enemies? Has the son of TarZaD
no friend other than Akut?"
The old ape drew closer to the boy.
There are the great apes" he said.
"They only will be the friends of
Akut's friend. Only the great apes
will welcome the son Of Tarzan. You
have seen that men want nothing Of
you. Let us go now and continue our

a friend is a safe port in a time
of storm. How grateful it is, in the
midst of stress or p~erplexity, to lean
upon our friend, to unburden our
anxieties and problems upon him, and
to gather from his sympathy wisdom
and strength for life's journey What
a comfort it is at times to kneel at
the feet of our friend, in humility. as
a child kneels before his mother. and
confess in f~rankness our weakness
and pettiness; and with what nobility
and understanding does our friend ac-
cept our confidence. not ending nor
deriding US, but with kindly counsel
and tender helpfulness stimulating us
to renewed hope and courage.
The trust which is the basis of
friendship comprehends all things.
Friend never questions friend. Friend
ship is above suspicion. Friendship
is for fair weather and adversely.
Friendship shares LIES joys and sor-
rows, its triumphs and defeats, It's
success and failures, its hopes and
aspirations. Friendship is bound not
by time, nor by space, nor by cirnum-
stance, nor by chance. 1t bridges the
widest chasm of separation, whether
of distance or Of years, even as the
spark of the wireless telegraph en-
circles the earth in a moment. "A
friend loveth at all times
But, faithful though our friends
may be, we have a friend upon whom
we can rely with fuller assurance
than upon any human friend Times
come in all our lives when human
friendship fails to meet the need OF
the human heart, when the soul lifts
itself in appeal to the divine This
friend is he who brought into the
world a new and strange command
ment, that we love one another" and
who calleth us friendships friends.
"Ye are my friends, if We do whatso-

"Henceforth | call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his

To what simple terms is the gospel
of Jesus Christ thus reduced, the sim
pie terms of friendship, terms that
the least of us should be able to In
derstand. "Ye are my friends" he
says, and it follows logically hat he
is our friend. The only conditions of
this friendship are that we shall love
one another, and thus love him, and
obey his commandments. How simple,
and yet how difficult. In him we have
a counsellor never failing. With him
we can share all that is dearest in our
lives. Upon his strength WI can lean
confidently. To him we can reveal,
without fear, our innermost thoughts.

Wonderful Siberian Railway.

The great railway of 5000 miles In
length that runs across Siberia Is one
of the most marvellous in the world,
first because of the difficulties that had
TO be faced in building it and, second
ly, because of its enormous length.
For nearly 1000 miles along this steel
track the line crosses an almost tree
less plain. All the stations along those
weary miles are at least thirty miles
apart, and most Of the villages are a
long way from the stations.
In winter this Siberian line is one
continuous view of snow, stretching
for miles along the seemingly endless
desert. Sometimes tie villages and
stations are almost buried in snow, and
not infrequently the train gets showed
up. Water for the stoves and the en-
gines has to be brought steaming hot,
lest it should freeze on the way, and
often men at the stations In the depth
Of winter have to chop off long icicles
from the engine and cars. But even
the intense cold has its advantages, for
dairy products, such as cheese and but
ter, can be carried by rail without hav'
ING to be put into refrigerating trucks.

The proposition made by Mayor
Preston, that the Legislature may,
without the consent of the people in

out Of keeping with the American
idea Of the right of person to Sc

may choose to live, and is as shock
ing to every person who believes III

ton Of Belgium by the Germans.
Notwithstanding this, Mayor Pres

tension Of the limits of the City OF
Baltimore upon the proposition, not
that right makes might, but that
might makes right. If any man

1t is said that this plank was SO
important that Judge Soper was
called from the retirement of his
home for consultation, notw1thstand-
ing he was then a candidate for
election; and that the subject matter
of this plank WAS JUDGE SOPER'S
DELIBERATE CONCLUSION OF
LAW, and its phraseology was his,
AND THE ORIGINAL DRAFT WAS
IN HIS HANDWRITING.
This being so, this plank must be
considered Judge Soper's Judicial
opinion upon the method of extern
sion Of municipal limits PROVIDED

This year Mayor Preston and the
Republican Party declare against
this same HONEST AND CONSTR
TUTIONAL PROPOSITION, AND
OVERRULE JUDGE SOPER, AND

IS RIGHT AND MAYOR PRESTON

ARE WRONG.
1t is not conceivable that these
Republican lawyers have changed
their legal opinions on the Consti-
tuition since 1915; therefore, Is it not
clear that the complete change in
the Republican Party platform by
the politicians this year is one Of
political expediency, and contrary to
the deliberate legal conclusions of
many of the ablest minds in the
party ?
