 TAUGHT HERE

With the view to attract the atten- tion and interest of the younger gen eration of the Jewish population in this coutnr1y in the stU[iy of Zionism, it's aims and ideals, the Poale Zion organization arranged a very interest
 ing program last night at Colonial hall when well known speakers and talented artists revealed some of the history, customs. and present day facts of Palestine. This marked the opening of an educative campaign to be conducted throughout the country for the purpose of insulting into the minds of the younger people the need of the upkeep of the literature, music and ideals.
 Very entertaining was the musical program when Mrs. Samuel Haber- stein, formerly of the Boston Opera company. soloist, rendered several vo- cal selections. Plonton Brounoff, the famous Hebrew composer, rendered on the piano his own composition, The Return of the Jew to Palestine" J. Pirosinkof also favored with a concertina- Among the speakers were Abraham Reisen, a Jewish poet, Ja- cob Marinoff, editor an1 publisher of the witty and satirica1 Jewish Weekly

This is the birthday of Fanny Crosby, the blind hymnist known and revered wherever the Christian church stands. Although death took her from the activities of life on Feb. 12, 1915, her memory is kept ever fresh in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Yesterday her hymns were sung in many churches all over the land, and in one church in Des Moines, Ia, the little children of the Sunday school were given bou- quets of violets by a cousin of Miss Crosby Judge George H. Tuthiu, who thus paid tribute to her.
 Last evening at the First M. E. church of which Miss Crosby was a valued member, a mem orial service was held. All of the hymns were those written by her and the Circle of Kings Daughters which bears her name had entire charge of the meet ing. They took up the collection and did the ushering and Rev. G. M. Brown spoke of Miss Crosby and Mrs. OrvilIe Rector was also called upon to speak for the Fanny Crosby circle.

On Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Rector, who is the president of the Fanny Crosby circle, there was held the annual luncheon of the cir cle which always honors Miss Cros- by's birthday in this manner. Mrs Julia Arlington, sister of Miss Cros- by, is always an honored guest at these functions, but owing to an un- fortunate accident which nearly cost her her life, she was not able to be present, a fact greatly regretted by the circle.
 Fanny Crosby, who wrote over 1000 hymns, came of fine oII Puritan stock. 4 great granddaughter of Ell der William Brewster of the May flower, Patience Brewster, married Miss Crosbys grandfather, Elezur Crosby. She was born in New York March A, 1920, and was blind from her birth. When she was 15 she en- tered the New York Institute for the Blind and for 12 years was a pupil, afterwards teaching for Il years. Once she appeared before Congress to plead for the education of the blind

CHAPTER XIX.
Laying the Trap.

Our first job was executed much more easily than I had anticipated. We caught Manuel sound asleep, and LeVere had sinewy hands at his throat before the fellow could grasp a weapon. The narrowness of the state room prevented my taking much part in the affair, but the mulatto needed no help, as he dragged the cursing Spaniard from his bunk to the deck and throttled him savagely. Indeed he would have killed the fellow had I not interfercd and twisted his hands loose, leaving Estevan barely con- scious. A blanket ripped into strips served to bind him securely enough for the present, but I thought 1t best to lock the door, and keep the key in my own pocket. LeVere would have knitted him even as he lay there help less, but for my threat and insistepce Once back in the cabin my eyes dis ttnguished the frightened face of the steward peering forth at us from out the dark of the passage leading for ward.
 Come here, Gunsaules," I said sternly. "Step lively, lad; there's nOth- ing for you to fear. SenOr Estada has been killed during the night and we have just captured his murderer" I explained. "There is reason to believe this act was part of a conspiracy to seize the ship in connection with those fellows amidships. Does that passage lead to their quarters?"
 "It did once, senor, but now there is a closed door of oak, studded with iron, not only locked, but barred on this side. There are but two keys one for the captain and the other for him who commands the buccaneers"
 stood there a moment considering this information. The only way the mutineers could reach the cabin then would be from the deck, descending through the companion. So long as

The Sm.ta college club of which Miss Sally Will mot, sos Stratford avenue, is president has raised its quota for the unit from the proceeds realized of the lecture given recently at the High school and from the annual rummage sale held a few weeks ago.

Having been the first unit sent from a Woman's college to help the families of the devasted regions, the Smith Unit is to be congratulated upon it's excellent work, service and fine example set for other units that followed the work.
 Besides the reconstruction unit, about fifteen members of the college were engaged in the canteen service with the Y. W. c. A.

MANY HONOR BIRTHDAY OF
 FANNY CROsBY Y, NOTED HYMNIST
TO THE MEMORY OF FANNY CROSBY
Born March 24. 1S2i

 The singer calmly faced the dark, And out of it fashioned her song. For why despair while still a spark Of God," she cried, may cheer along Our way" Then forth to all she sent Her gospel of a life content. God looked and found the labor meet In all the scores of sightless years, Until at last, in power complete, Her song the many thousands cheers. The Lord of harvest said word, His kingly envoy, ready, heard. That message swift at length was borne To call at dawn the poets soul; Then all at once eternal morn, In tenderness, began to roll. The blacllness from that waiting sight, Now touched by Gods own gift of light, Upon our hearts the silence fell: It left them lacking, mute, and strange, Until sense that all was well, Instead of grief, had brought a change. Out of the darkness into the day What of the visiOn,-whO can say?

'I know that. LeVere. The whole plan is desperate, but there is no other possible. Here is my scheme. There Is gun rack in the cabin to arm the dozen men we can trust. The others have nothing but their sheath knives. The buccaneers can be secured below, before these other lads ever realize what Is happening. As soon as we have control of the ship we'll round them up forward. They won't dare face the guns. I'll give them their choice"
 And what will you tell them, se- nor2"
 I caught my breath, conscious of his meaning. My secret hope could not be revealed to this fellow. The answer came quickly to my lips.
 ''The whole truth, Senor LeVere- that Manuel conspired to seize the bark through a mutiny of the bucca- neers; that these were to be turned loose with license to kill anyone on board who opposed them; that their real purpose was to divide among themselves all the treasure below. then wreck the vessel and escape with 1t. That to this end Estada had al- ready been murdered. shall explain that we discovered this conspiracy just in time to save them from but chery, and they must stand by us or else submit to those hell-hounds."
 And after that, senor?'
 'Why. Porto Grande, of course" I admitted heartily. The men will un- derstand what that means-a handful of gold for each of them and a run ashore. Why, LeVere, they will make more apiece than by footing a half dozen ships, and with no fighting. It will be a fortune for you and me"
 His somber eyes lighted up, startled by this new idea, and he sprang to his feet.
 You mean that, senorl We divide what is below and sail for Porto Grande? l hear you right? You not mean surrender? You stay pirate?"
 laughed, my nerves tingling to the success of my ruse-he had taken the tempting bait like a hungry fish.
 ''Why, of course. I am not such fool as to throw away this chance. This is our chance. LeVere. If we put LAAC 4NtlINA lItO tLlO NIEduuE, WlIn Sanchez on board and alive, and those hellhounds locked below, we'll get any thing We ask for. Wen be the cocks of the walk. If he shouldn't live through, why then we'll have a ship, and can run the game alone. Either way, if we win, the prize is ours-and if we stick together we win"
 My apparent enthusiasm caught the fellow. I could read the working of his mind in his face. This new view of the situation promised wealth, power, the total defeat of Esteyan; {; everything he most desired.
 You think Senor Sanchez live?"
 "What difference? IT he lives he. owes his life to us. If he dies the bark is in our hands, and the treasure. Once we have won we care nothing if he live or dle. Are we together in this?"
 He thrust out a lean yellow hand, and gripped it.
 "Si, senor; I am with you"
 "You pledge your word, Francois ?"
 ''I pledge 1t, senor."
 Good! And you have mine. Now to work-first Manuel Estevan, and then the men on deck"
