"But If you shouldn't be able to tell

shameful and terrifying threat hung
over him; but he broke off sharply.

from her.
She ran back to the door of her IA

reach the corner and turn west to go
to Astor street. He was walking rap
idly and did not hesitate.
How strangely he had acted! Con-
stances uneasiness increased when
the afternoon and evening passed
without his coming back to see her as
he had promised, but she reflected he
had not set any definite time when
she was to expect him. During the
night her anxiety grew still greater;
and in the morning she called his
house up on the telephone, but the call
was unanswered. An hour later, she
called again; still getting no result,
she called her father at his Office, and
told him of her anxiety about Uncle
Benny, but without repeating what
Uncle Benny had said to her or the
promise she had made to him. Her ia

after luncheon she called her father

Her father, to her surprise, forbade
this rather sharply; his voice, she
realized. was agitated and excited, and
she asked him the reason; but instead
of answering her, he made her repeat
TO him her conversation Of the after

But when she, In her turn, tried to

Rev. T. E. Lambert
Preached for Methodists
Orphan Home Superintendent Was
Was Greeted by Large Crowd.

Rev. T. E. Lambert, superintendent
of the South Georgia Orphans Home
at Macon, spoke at the Methodist
church Sunday morning. Those who
had on a previous occasion been thrill
ed by Mr.. Lambert's intimate stories
touching the lives OF the children UNI
der his care were disappointed Sun
day that the full hour was taken up
before the big subject, our orphans,
was reached, and that matter so vital
ly important was necessarily hurried
w crowded into a few minutes. The
long drawn out service weakened the
force of what would have otherwise
been strong appeal for these little
ones, which was a matter of regret
to some of the leading officials and
others in the congregation.
Mr.. Lambert's splendid manage
ment OF the home is recognized by all
familiar with the great work with its
multiplied problems, and nothing is
nearer the hearts of Dawson Metho-
dists than this institution. Some of
the contributions Sunday were liberal
and the collection was fairly good, but
the church members have not yet
measured up to what is expected. The
fund already in hand will be increased
by other contributions.
