MEET AROUND ROCK OF AGES
Pilgrims In England Honor Composer
at Spot That Inspired
Great Hymn.

Burlington, Commbe, Somerset. Eng
land.-The rock visualized by Angus
tus Toplady, when he was inspired
to compose the hymn, Rock Of Ages"
stands Just outside this village and a
great demonstration to perpetuate his
memory was held there on the August
bank holiday. Toplady is said to have
taken refuge on the rock from severe
storm which was sweeping over the
gorge on the edge Of which the rock
stands, and, while waiting for 1t to
pass over he was led to compose the
hymn.
The great pilgrimage to the rock
was organized under the auspices OF
the Church of England, but a Saliva
ton Army band also took part. The
10000 people present. some Of whom
were perched on jutting rocks on the
side of the gorge, took part In the
singing of the hymn. It was also de,
cided that memorial to Toplady
should be placed on the rock.

The tests were made with the At

that he gets the color for which he is
named from feeding on the seaweeds
which are more brilliant In color. Re
search along similar lines has devel
oped the theory that the beautiful
scarlet flamingo gets his colorin;
from cerions and the brilliantly huet
molluscs which abound along tn,

from their perches by the approaching
figure, flew down the trail in front.
Cranston pressed back the hammer of
his rifle. The click sounded loud In
the silence. He had grown tense and
still, and the leaves no longer rustled.
His eyes were intent on a little
clearing, possibly one hundred yards
up the trail. The trail itself went
straight through 1t. And in an in
slant more. Hildreth pushed through
the buckbrush and stood revealed In
the moonlight.
If there is one quality that means
success in the mountains 1t is con-
slant, unceasing self-control. Gran
ston thought that he had it. But per-
haps he had waited too long for Hill
dreth to come and the strain had told
on him. He had sworn to take no
false steps; that every motion he
made should be cool and sure. He
didn't want to attract Hildreth's at
tention by any sudden movement. All
must be cautious and stealthy But
In spite of all these good resolutions
Cranston's gun simply leaped to his
shoulder in one convulsive motion at
the first glimpse of his enemy as he
emerged into the moonlight.
The end of the barrel struck a
branch of the shrubbery as it went
up. 1t was only soft sound; but in
the utter silence 1t Travelled far. The
gun barrel caught the moonlight as 1t
leaped, and Hildreth saw its CLINT In
the darkness.
He was looking for trouble. He had
dreaded this long walk to the settle
ments more than any experience of
his life. He didn't know why the let
/ ter he had written, asking for an
armed escort down to the courts, had
not brought results. But It was
wholly possible that Cranston would

thing like hot steam was in his brain,
blurring his sight and heating his

The pine needles hung wholly mo-

dead leaves on which he knelt crinkled
and rustled under him. Only the keen

and possibly in his madness, Cranston
himself was not aware of 1t. And one
would have wondered long time as
to what caused It, 1t was simply that
he was shivering all over with hate
and fury.
A twig cracked, far on the ridge
above him. He leaned forward. peer

face in unsparing detail. 1t revealed
the deep lines, the terrible, drawn
lips, the ugly hair long over the dark
ears. His strong hands frightened
upon the breech of the rifle. His wiry
figure grew tense.
