FOR LOVES SAKE

 He was man of whims. He could afford them; but when Robert Leeds invited Inez Walters to become an in- mate of his princely home he had an object outside of the inspiration of charity. He had never seen her be- fore. and the first thing that struck him was her wild rose beauty.
 Inez was living with a relative of Mr. Leeds at Acton and the Deanes awarded her an indifferent home in return for toll and drudgery. Mir. Leeds, making flying visit was at once attracted by the rare loveliness of the girl. His scheming brain con ceived plan whereby he could use her to his advantage.
 "I have taken fancy to the girl, '' he told Mrs. Deane. "She is like a radiant flower wasted in the wilder ness. My life is lonely one. I have plenty of money. will take her off yous hands. make lady of her and, If Sse turns out as l tnlnk sne Wlli' l shall adopt her legally"
 Tnez was dazzled by the prospect set before her by the old millionaire. Within a week all her arrangements were concluded. Mrs. Deane was to fit her out with suitable attire for the occupant of a higher social sphere and Inez looked forward with natural fn- terest and anticipation to the new life about to open up for her.
 There were two things that occu- pied her thoughts almost exclusively that last night at the Deane home One was, the nnly suitable dress she had ever worn. made for her by her mother . month before she died. It was plain and cheap, but maternal love had given 1t 6 tastiness that endeareo it fondly to the orphan girl.
 The other theme was memory oI the only lover she had ever Known Waldron Pearce. He had been her ..beau" for over a year. A few months previous Waldron had gone to 2 ois- tant place to secure work and lnez re gretted leaving Acton without seeing or bidding him good-by. With tne cherished dress, however packse III a

rated the landlady, ''but he found her with suck grand folks that he broke down, believing that she would never condescend to remember him."
 That night Inez left the Leeds home after writing a note to it's owner tell ing him that she should not return. She took only with her the dress her mother had made, found a respectable boarding house and employment and every evening visited the hospital. Brave. dauntless little heroine that she was, her mind was all made Ill, as to the future! And ! marvellous change for. the better came to the half heartbroken Waldron when he realized that true love for him had in- clined Inez to give up n life of luxury to be near him.
 A month later. man and wife, they settled down into quiet, humble life, forgetting all save the fact that fate had brought together two souls meant one for the other and engrossed with a mutual happiness that poverty could not mar nor time cause to fade away.

 He declared that two-thirds of the rural churches of Missouri are making no progress and that 35 per cent to 40 per cent of them are actually slid ing backward.
 Fourteen churches out of score in one Missouri county" Dr. Taylor said, in speaking of the church survey, "are ready to be abandoned.
 Too Many Churches.
 Why are the churches failing in this state? The answer is that there are too many of them. The average number of people in church in rural Missouri is 200 In some places there is a church for each so souls. The re- suit is they are unable, in many in stances, to obtain competent pastors. There as so many Sunday schools that skilled teachers cannot be found."
 Dr. Taylor said that 1t was com monly believed that the country was the home of churchgoers. The survey was showing, however, he said, that only from 16 to 40 per cent of the population in rural Missouri attended church, and he declared the showing in the cities was better.
 How the world of heather countries can be taken for Christ in few years with united program by the Protest ant Church was shown in the world survey by means of pictures and maps. The tremendous needs of the world. which are challenging the church at the present time, as shown by the movement, have thrilled pastors. who are giving burning new message that will mean much for the church and for the world.

accident was reported next day. The
witches which fly on broomsticks be-

Romans as day for eating snafls.

locusts which st. John the Baptist ate

should try to take possession of Rome
on the night before his feast day IS
mystery. They do fly about on

salt and broom alone will keep them
out of homes.

never finish her job before sunrise.
