 Jane could find no ray of hope in the faces of the men who stared at her in the cold light of appraisal They frankly believed her guilty of the murder of the chauffeur whose body she and the old bookkeeper had discovered in the base ment of that queer, silent house. Her mouth was suddenly dry and she licked her lips After all, what proof could they advance which would clear them of the charge. They were the people who had found the body-what was to prevent them from forming up a story between them, a story that was as weak as water when considered from the point of view of jury.
 She waited, breathless, for Marshall to speak, but he too must have had some such thoughts. for he hestated and a iitIle frown wrinkled his brow as he watched fainter, who seemed to be the leader among the four detectives.

VI. T.. Ministers Asked
To Fight Tobacco Habit
Clarence True Wilson Sends
Out Letter Telling Them of
Evils of Smoking

SYRACUSE. N. Y, March 3 Clar-
encc True Wilson has enlisted in Pro
fcssor Frederick W. Romans fight to
deport Lady Nicotine from our shores
Mr.. Wilson is general secretary of the
Board of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
Mr.. Wilson proposes that "demon
nicotine" be banished from the land as
a sort of celebration of the victory over
demon rum
He has written to Methodist minis
ters asking them to join in the anti
tobacco campaign if they feel that our
next great battle will be with the de-
mon nicotine, whose shredded poison
Gus leaves, rolled in a paper Of what
ever brand, and smoking to the hcav-
ems, is a stencil in Gods nostrils and
blight upon our army and our youth.
notwithstanding the rawlings Of the to-
bacco trust which would have US be-
licvc that cigarette smoking is incense
rising from and cmblematic Of the
fires of our nations devotion and patri-
otism."
Mr.. Wilson wrote the ministers that
the hour is now come for the Church
to be heard against this mighty and
growing evil"

agree with us, we shall pause. DO you
hold rejection Of this point to be fun
damentai to your own conscience and
belef?' we shall ask. Do you feel
that you cannot possibly accept it with
out violating your own inner light?
Ii they say they do. if after discussion
and clucIdation they still take that
Very we'll, we Shall say. up to this
point at least you arc with us. Now,
on the basis of all the things that we
have found we have in common, what
degree Of amalgamation can we effect %
"Why, after such catechism as
this asked Bishop Weller should
not the North and South Mcthodists
come together And is it not a strong
possibility that the Mcthodists and
Congregationalists and presbyterians,
say, viii find. after sincere soul search
ing. that there is really nothing fun
damental sufficiently strong TO keep
them apart?
eff we make even 50 much progress.
that will be much. And the basis Will
be laid for future action, as the con-
fcrcncc may see fit, to perpctuate that
which is there begun"
The Hour Now Propitious
The experience Of the war, the
Bishop went on. with the great spir-
itual revival it has brought, has made
the hour for such meeting propitlous,
"Pcrhaps in that sense" he declared,
''the war was positively an act of God.
Had we met IN 1914, with the world at
peace. as we had planned, perhaps we
might not have been able, despite our
best eudeaVors, to come together III
the amity and spirit Of open minded
ness which | believe VIII now prevail
at this conference which | equally be
lievc shortly viii become a fact.
But now all the world is of open
mind. We are ready as never before
to come forth and say just where we
do stand We arc ready as never be
fore to clear up old ditferences.'
Bishop Weller emphasized the fact
that the object Of the General Episco-
pal Convention. which in 1910 at Gin
cinnati initiated the present movement
for Christian unity. is in no sense a
federation of churches.
"Io say let us ignore our differences
and cooperate" he said, gets you no.
where 1t simply can't be done, when
it comes down to practical work. The
only thing is to sweep away the differ
enccs. We do not expect to be able to
sweep them all away at once. But we
are going to sweep away all we cam
we're going to show just how many Of
them are mythical
Stands on Middle Ground
In this connection the Bishop point
ed out that the Protestant Episcopal
Church had felt it its duty to take
the lead in this movement because it,
better than any other, could serve as
an intermediary between the Roman
and other churches claiming the Apos-
tolic successor and the other Protest
ant bodies.
I'VE have he explained, some
things in common with both, and so
are in Il particularly favorable posi-
tion to interpret the one to the other.
But once the conference has been ar
ranged then our work as inititators
ceases We drop out except rs dele
gates
No Unitarian delegation, Bishop
Weller added, has been besought to
enter the convention.
