Return to Native Hunland.

Charleston.-Some two hours after
the news had been flashed by cable
and over the wires that the Germans
had signed the peace treaty, nearly
1000 Germons, including women and
children, left Charleston aboard the
transport Martha Washington to re.
turn to their country. via Rotterdam
to which port the ship is bGind.
The transport proceeded down
Cooper River from the port terminals
and through the bay to the jetties at
smart speed, and no tears were shed
by spectators along the waterfront at
the departure Of the repatriates. The
bells Of st. Michaers Church chimes
were ringing, but neither in celebra-
tion Of peace signing nor in jubilation
over getting rid Of this batch OF aliens.
The old bells were observing the time
honored Carolina Day" anniversary.
Much indeed has happened on June
20 with today's events, and for Char
reston particularly was the day inter
esting, with the signing of the peace,
the anniversary of Sir Peter Parker's
defeat and the Kidding Of the country
OF about 1000 German aliens.

demand for both bank and mill stock:

More Than Life.

Religion is not matter OF INTEL
lectual luxury to those of us who are
interested In 1t, but something very
different. It Is our life; and more
than our life; for that is measured
by. pulse-beats, but our religious con-
sciousness partakes Of the infinite.
toward which It Is constantly yearn'
ing. 1t is very possible that hun
dred or FIVE hundred years from now
the forms of religious belief may be
so altered that we should hardly know
them. But the sense Of dependence
on divine influence, and the need OF
communion with the unseen and eter-
nal will be then just what they are
now. 1t IS not the geolOgist's hammer,
or the. astronomers telescope. or the
naturalist's microscope, that Is going
TO take away the need Of the human
soul for that rock to rest upon.--Ol-
yer Wendell Homes.

CHAPTER x.
The Chateau.

I had an indiStinct impression OF
being carried for what seemed an eter.
nifty upon the shoulders Of my rescuer.
and of clinging there through the de-
lirium that Supervened.
When at last opened my eyes It
was late afternoon. Though tney
panied me, could now see with tol-
erable distinctness.
I was lying upon bed Of dried
balsam leaves inside little hut, and
through the half-open door could see
the sun just dropping behind the
mountains. Upon a wall hung big
cruclfiX Of wood, and under it an old
man was standing.
He heard me stir and came toward
me. l recognized the massive shoul-
ders and commanding countenance OF
Pere Antoine and remembrance came
back to me.
"Where am II" asked.
"In my cabin, monsieur" answered
the priest. standing at my side, an in.
scrutable calm upon his face. 1T is
lucky that I found you, monsieur, or
assuredly you would soon have been
dead. But for your dog"
"My dog!" exclaimed.
Certainly; q dog came to me and
brought me a mile out of my route
to where you were lying. But, now
come to think of it, it disappeared and
has not returned. Perhaps it was
sent to me by lie bon Dieu."
"Where is Mile. Duchainef" / burst
out.

upon my shoulder.

property, OF my encounter with Jacque-

The addition Of the last word singu-

from his lips unconsciously, but 1t
gave me reason to believe that the
chateau was near by.

chair beside me.
