thirty-five million dollars has been
postponed to the week of May Is that
no Interference will be had with I'm
Gle Sans obligations.
The Methodists Of the South are
particularly noted for their loyalty.
They realize that the appeal for the
Victory Loan at this time is necessary
as days of Reconstruction following
wars are serious times. And as the
of the nation are met,
those in charge of the Methodist Gen.
tenary know that their appeal for
funds on May Is will bring forth a
most liberal response and the plans
of the church for the extension of
Christianity and religious work will
be amply provided for.
The officials of the government
are 4pleased at the splendid spirit
shown by the. church in not letting
their date conflict with the loangdrive.
The following telegram received from
Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass, one of the leading Methodists
of the South, expresses the appreci-
alton of the government: I1A
4 Washington, D. c.,
Rev. w. B. Beauchamp,
Nashville, Tenn.
81 am very glad to learn from your
telegram of this date that the joint
centenary commission of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, and the
Methodist Episcopal Church, has de-
termined to postpone their Centenary
Drive until May I18 in order that no
interference may be- had with the
Victory Liberty Loan Campaign.
/ appreciate very deeply the CO.
operation you have evidenced in
this matter, and wish you every sue
cess in your great undertaking.

wound the bit of fabric about his

Churchill. Again and again he pressed
the tiny handkerchief to his face

action suddenly stirred his memory IN

this same sweetness that had come TO
him on the night that he had looked
down into the beautiful face Of Eileen

loved heliotrope, and that she always

light was burning low, and Philip
turned up the wick. On the table was
the picture as Gregson had left it. This
time there was no doubt. He had
drawn the face of Eileen Brokaw. In
a spirit Of jest he had written under
it, THE Wife of Lord Fitzhugh."

her own was the movement Of the
half breed. In a flash he was upon
his feet. his dark face tense with
action, his right hand gripping at
something in his belt as he bent
toward the figure in the center OF the
rock. His posture was that Of an
animal ready to spring. Close beside

moved was the simmer OF steel

passed quickly with Pierre up the rock
and while Philip stood stunned anG
speechless they disappeared swiftly
into the white gloom of the night.
