CHAPTER SIX.
John Clarewood Decides.


The dawn looked in at the window
Of Clarewood's library. There, under
lamp which had turned pale yellow
in the gathering daylight, sat John
Clarewood. His black hair was dis
ordered, his face was CHASTITY gray
white, and his features were roug-
hened by his night of suffering, He
had not sleept one minute. He sat
launched at the table, his head in
his hands, which now and then gripp-
ed his hair as If they would pull II
out by the roots
Slowly he became aware of the
dawn, of the wind shaking the trees
outside and the sparrows piping
their first drowsy notes. He dropped
his hands on the table and raised
his head, breathing deeply. For hours
upon hours his soul had been TO
rum in which all his ancestors had
held debate. The more practical oil
them had asserted that ruin or safe
ty was the issue. Principal or per
jury, said the idealist. Man or CO.
ward replied the voice of the hard
fighting Thomas Clarewood.
Finally, John Clarewood rose from
the table. Almost unconsciously he
turned to his great-grandfather's par
trait. From the corner of the room
the eyes seemed to burn down upon
him as if Thomas Clarewood too haC
kept long vigil
Four immortal lines of Emerson
suddenly stood forth in John Clare
woods mind, lines chiselled On a
monument at his college in honor
of men who had died for princi-
pal. He walked up to Thomas Clare
woods portrait as to an altar and
/ repeated the lines:
Though love repine and reason
chafe
There comes a voice without re-
ply
| "Tis mans perdition to be safe
When for the truth he ought to
die"

terrible sacrifice, but he was re,
solved that no one should over say
that John Clarewood had feared T.

Then he went to his room and fel

breakfast at which Virginia was no

Now that a catastrophe has occurr-

JOHN LAKE.
DR.. WI Ting-Fang Visits Proposed
Site for Leper Colony.

DR.. WI Ting-Fang, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, left Friday at one
o'clock in the afternoon with a party
to visit the site recently selected for
a leper colony. DR.. WI is much inter-
ested in this proposed work for lep-
ers, having given five thousand dol
lars for the purpose of the site on
Tai Kan. Island, not far from the
district of Chek K'al. Members of the
committee, together with Rev. and
Mrs. John Lake and Mrs. Frank w.
Lee went with DR.. WI to select a site
for the first buildings which will be
erected Immediately. A. architect was
included in the party and will remain
on the Island to supervise the con-
struction of the buildings.
A modern leper colony, accommo-
dating hundreds of lepers is propos-
ed. There will be a hospital, houses
for the women and the men, a separ-
ate building for untainted children,
and a laboratory where the trained
physicians will carry on research
work. This movement had the recog-
milton and financial support of the
Mission to Lepers. DR.. Fowler, the
representative of the Mission in
China, planned to accompany Dr.
WI on the present trip, but owing to
the pressure of government affairs,
DIR. WI was forced to postpone his
trip several times, so DR.. Fowler had
to leave for the north without seeing
the island.
Rev. John Lake has been working
among the lepers in the 81 zap dis
tricts for some years. The establish
ment of the present leper colony is
largely due to his indefatigable eff
forts on behalf of these social out
casts. As a cure has now been discov-
cred for leprosy not only in it's initial
stages but even in advanced cases,
this colony will open the door of hope
to many contaminated men and wo-
men.-Canton Times, Oct. "a.

information Regarding the
ENLARGEMENT Ring.

Does good form require that an
engaged man present his iancee with
a diamond engagement ring?
To be sure, most men in this coun-
try do present their hancees with
some sort of betrothal ring and when
they can. afford it, it usually is o dia-
mond ring, simply because 'iamonds
are associated in most girls minds
with engagements. But the young wo-
man ought to be consulted as to her
choice in the matter. Many girls
nowadays-when girls r given to
having original ideas on so many
subjects-profess a dislike for the
conventional engagement ring simply
because it is so usual. Of late years
the diamond circlet has been in high
favor ard sometimes a young woman
prefers her favorite stone-an emer-
aid, ruby or sapphire, or set with
diamonds, to any plain diamond set
ting in the world. 1t is the young wo-
man who has to wear a ring and the
considerate young mar suits her taste
rather than his w in selecting It.
The only hard and fast rule there
need be about engagement rings is
that their value should be proper
tionate with the financial position of
those who buy them. A young man
with enough money to do so would be
regarded as selfsh.if he cid not give
his fiancee any engagement ring, but
on the other hand, a young woman,
knowing her fancee had many respon-
sibilities and little money, would be
extremely inconsiderate if she per-
nitted him to make much of an ex-
penditure in this way.

Early Action on Bonus Bill.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Early action
in the house on a soldiers bonus bill
was forecast tonight when Republi-
can members at a caucus adopted a
resolution instructing the ways and
means committee to frame a bonus
bill and declaring that once reported
the measure should be the continu-
ing order of business until passed.
No opposition to the resolution de-
veloped, it was said
While ways of raising necessary
revenue for a bonus were discussed,
it was said no instructions were given
the ways and means committee as to
what revenue raising provisions
should be placed in the bill. Members
were generally of the opinion that it
would be advisable for the committee
first to thresh but this point, and
have the Republican membership of
the house privileged after the bill is
reported to caucus again, particular
ly on that feature of the measure.
Sentiment was expressed, it was
said in favor of making the cash pro-
visions of the bill less attractive and
those providing for insurance and
home and farm aid a more desirable
option. Several members were said
to have urged that cash payments be
somewhat reduced so that more vet
Grams would be inclined to take ad-
vantage of the other benefits. This,
it is said, would require less initial
revenue.
Incidentally several ways of pro
viding necessary revenue were sug-
gested, among them a sales tax, issu-
ance of bonds secured by the foreign
debt and use of interest paid in by
nations indebted to the United States.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
committee assured his col
leagues that his committee would act
with dispatch. Hearings, he said
would begin Tuesday with the pros
pect that they would be brief and
that the bill would be reported very
soon.
