LITTLE KNOWN OF ST. MARK
Facts as to History of Evangelist Have
Been Lost in the Passage
of Years.

ST. Mark. the evangelist is believed
to have been born of Jewish parents,
deriving their origin from the tribe Of
Levi. He is also thought 10 have been
sisters son" TO the apostle st. Peter,
though some have confounded him
with John, surnamed Mark, sisters
son" to st. Barnabas. He was prob
ably converted by St Peter, and was
his constant attendant in his travels.
He is traditionally said TO have found
ed the church in Aquileia, and there
TO have written the gospel which bearS
his name. st. Mark suffered on April
%, though the certain year of his mar
tyrdom is not precisely determined by
the ancients. ST. Marks symbol is the
lion, because he has set forth the royal
dignity of Christ; or, according to
other writer's, on account of his begin
ming with the mission of st. John the
Baptist, which is figured by the lion !;
or to a legend that was popularly be-
lieved in the middle ages, that the
young of the lion was born dead, and
after three days was awakened by the
voice of its sire, symbolical of the res
direction.

AGENT CAVE IT UP
Nothing for Him to Do but Hand
Out Ticket.
Now He Makes PIaintiVe Appeal for
Rule by Which He Can Tell Min
lister From Ordinary Run
of Mankind.

"Sky pilots Whe-e-w" whistled
the ticket agent of a Missouri town the
other day, so the story goes. "Well,
it seems to me there are just ten times
as many as there used to be in this
neck of the woods, and l tell you some
of the guys who come up here to this
window sayin' they're ministers and
asking for half-fare tickets look more
like baIlyhoO men 1T street fair or
circus than sky pilots.
''The trouble is when a fellow comes
up here to the window and says I'm
preacher there amt any rules laid
down for me to go by to tell him from
a professional 'crook, or mOll buzzer, or
a right reverend, and so have to hand
out the ticket.
''The other night l was talking to
my wife about it, and we hit on a
scheme, and when l went down to
work next morning l had the family
Bible tucked under my arm, and when
a sporty-looking old chap, putting a
cigarette, with a plaid suit and neck
tie so loud it was screaming at you,
came up to the window, and says min
ister's ticket to Kansas City, please l
said respectful like:
please excuse me, sir, but will you
please tell me who wrote the second
book of st. Pauls Epistle to the Gala
tians?
"He smiled at me friendly and said
pretty quick, why Paul, of course.
Now get busy with j ticket
Nope said l, just as cold as you
please, looking him hard in the eyes.
You're dead wrong there. Paul didn't
do any such thing, and nobody else
ever wrote a second book to those Ga
latians, for there amt any such book
and 1 thought 1 had finished him.
"BQt, mind you, he just sort of look
ed at me sad-like for a minute like he
felt sorry for me, and then he reared
back and said in voice just like he
was praying: Sir, l am a minister. Of

ton cast aside his violin with a fling
and sprang toward her, noting that
one sleeve Of the light, dainty dress
she wore was all ablaze. There was a
second explosion, and he had extin
guished the flaming dress when his
eyes closed with a spasm of pain.
Then-darkness so utter for himself
that he groped blindIy about him.
'Is Gladys safe?' fell from his lips
In an eager, anxious gasp. II cannot
seel fear"
There he paused, appalled,. In vain
he strove to strain his darkened vision.
1t was only from the exclamations of
the others that he could trace what
was happening Gladys, insensible
and sustaining frightful face burns
from the second explosion, himself
helpless to assist her, the injured girl
carried to her room, a collapse on his
own part, a fading away Of all con-
sciousness, it's feeble, bewildering re-
turn, and a realization that old Doctor
Moore was at his side examining his
eyes.
'He probably saved Gladys by extin-
gushing her flaming dress" Morton
caught the physicians tones, "but at
a terrible cost-he is utterly blind y
It was many days before the lives
Of those disturbed by the startling
event Of the explosion settled down
into the, old peaceful grooves. Only
once did Alan Druse call at the Marcy
home. He was genuinely solicitous.
A glance into the next room, sight of
Gladys so shocked him that soon he
left the house, never to return. And
Gladys, understanding, turned her
head on her pillow and wept bitterly.
Then, when her nurse had left her
alone, she stole to a mirror with her
eyes almost affrighted as she stag
gered back to the couch. Her beauty
was gone! She realized now why
Alan Druse had fled as from a pesti-
lence.

sci and prayer he emerged, chastened.
patient, with a rare smile upon his
face and his mind at perfect peace.
"There is muslcv" he whispered
raptly to himself, and then, half
doubtlngly, but with a longing quiver
in his tone: "There is Gladys to dream
of, to love, even though she never
thinks of me save as a friend"
The mother of Gladys one day led
the welcome adored hero who had
saved the life of her daughter into the
room where that daughter sat. She
left those two afflicted ones alone,
went out and closed the door. Before
that patient face and the Sightless
eyes and at a thought Of what this
sacrifice meant to her, Gladys impul-
sIvely extended her trembling hands to
meet the cropping ones of her visitor.

The belle of the village, Gladys
Marcy, had two aspirants for her
favor upon whom she, bestowed espe-
cial attention
They were Alan Druse and Morton
Bayne-OppOsites in every sense of
the word. They had each attracted
Gladys and it was difficult for her to
decide which appealed to her liking
most: Alan, with his flashing, fun
loving ways, or Morton, with soul
enwrapt in music and seeming always
In a poetic dream.
Alan loved her, or fancied he did,
and his vivacious ways bade fair in
the eyes Of the gossips to outvie Nor
ton so far as courting went. 1t had
begun to dawn upon Gladys, however,
that Alan was somewhat frivolous.
1t was all Morton with Gladys when,
in the church choir at entertainments,
or passing an evening in the Marcy
home he wrought from his violin be-
wildering. Witchery Of harmony and ex-
preston that caused her heartstrings
to culver with rare delight. He had
never, however, limited at anything
more than friendship. His income was
modest and seemed a steady one, for
a number Of his compositions had be-
come generally popular and likely to
remain so, and out Of royalties he had
received he had already accumulated
several thousand dollars.
Gladys fluttered vislbly one evening
when Morton appeared at her home
while Alan was already in evidence.
Somehow the manner Of the latter had
indicated to her that he was on the
verge of a proposal, and she had won
dered how she could seek to evade a
direct decision, feeling inStinctively
that she scarcely knew her own mind
as yet. A certain sullennesS over
spread the face of Alan as he dis
cerned that he was not to have Gladys
exclusively for that evening at least.
He looked bored as the parents insist
ed on some music and Morton, ever
accommodating brought out his violin.
II was III IHe luluSL VI lOFSIy SO-
nata that entranced all his auditors
save Alan that the unexpected hap
pened. Gladys was seated by the
lamp on the table when there was q

of flame. She uttered a vivid scream,
her hands went up to her face with
frantic suddenness. Alan shrank back,
quite unnerved and affrighted. Nor

REPLY
To ". {. KING
Would be Improper for Him
to Call Another State
Convention


TRENTON. June 30-Today's con-
tribution to h political letter writing
campaign which has been in progress
for the past few weeks is another
letter from former Governor f.. c..
Stokes replying to the statement last
week of Warren c. King, asking why
another convention of Republicans is
not called for the purpose OF allowing
the candidates to speak. King is in
the ace for the Republican nominal
ton for Governor and was one of
those effected when the mandate
went forth hat the recent convention
of the League Of Republican Clubs
was to be closed to candidates oratory.
In his answer to King today, Mr..
Stokes points out that as chairman
of the Republican State Committee. 1t
would be entirely improper for him
to carry out the suggestion of hold-
ing a meeting for the benefit OF the
candidates.
II assume that you understand that
neithed | nor the State Committee will
take any part in the candidates cam
paign,'' says the letter of Mr.. Stokes,
nor favor any candidate directly or
indirectly. The law prohibits any
thing of that character on the part
OF the state committee, as does a de-
m respect for the p~roprieties of
the situation"
The state chairman advises Mr..
King to tax his suggestion up with
the candidates themselves and per-
haps they could reach some agree
ment for such a meeting.
