asked what had happened to
Maman.
In the hurry and noise and
hustle of the crowd it was easier
than Marise had feared to get
ever that first moment when Papa
must be told. It all came out
straight, just what she had
planned to tell him-that nothing
had really happened to Maman;
she wasn't sick or anything, only
she had had a terrible nervous
shock, had seen somebody killed
right before her eyes, and it had
pretty nearly driven her wild.
"Ohr' said Papa. evidently re-

k1Garise had about the person who
had been killed. He picked up
his satchels again (by this time
the porters at the Bayonne station
were resigned to his strange
mania for carrying his own hand
baggage), and said: We'll, yes,
that's too badI I remember saw
Q brakeman killed once and 1t
made me pretty sick, too"
They walked out Of the station
together. Not two minutes had
passed sinse his arrival, and
already Marise's joy that he had
come had faded to a frightened
sense that he had not come at all,
that he was still very far away,
that he would never really come,
Is he used to.
And yet Jeanne had been right.
OF course; whatever else she did,
she must not tell Papa.
When did it happen?" asked
Papa now, an they turned the
orner and were finally escaped

Then Papa wanted to go at once

home. What had he come back
for. IL not for THAR AS q matter
Of fact, Marise was not very sure
why he had come back, or why
she had felt 1t so necessary TO
get word to him at once. Now that
she had had time to think about IL,
she. realized that she dreaded very
much having Maman see Papa just
now. right after s. after all that.
It would have been better for her
to have had a little time to get
over 1t, and like Marise, to think
what to say.
But. OF course. this was one of
the things she could not speak to
Papa about. All she could do was
to find out that lunch was nearly
ready and they would better eat

Grand Canyon Subject
of Stereopticon at
Old South Church

sunday evening at the Old South
church was given the second of a
series OF stcreopticon lectures. The
hTst, given a week before, was the
story of the Passion Play at Oberam-
nfergau. and was exceedingly well
received.
Last night the theme was the
valley of the Shadow" religious
presentation of the Grand CANYON
of the Colorado. The meeting open-
ca with an appropriate hymn flashed
on the screen for the use of the
spectators. Then came the s3rd
Psalm, repeated by the company, a
most appropriate introduction to the
valley of the shadow" The earlier
pictures were various American
chasms and gorgcs. Among them
scenes from the Yosemite, the San
antonio Canyon. and that one OF
Colorado near which Helen Hunt
jackson once dwelt
The scenic beauties OF these ma
tural beauties were emphasized and
their dangers also, making them
really valleys of the shadow for
fiocks and herds and even for man
The MERGED Canyon of California
and the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas
were shown in all their gorgeous
beauty. But the main part Of the
lecture had to do with the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado river, really
the Grand Canyon of Arizona. its
geological history and the various
explorations from the early Spanish
to the present time were touched
upon. and the wonders of it's magni-
tude. its colorins and it's architec-
tural forms described and illustrated
by truly beautiful pictures. Its
trails, particularly Bright Angel
Trail, were shown in detail. The r..
ligious emotions reused by such
wonders OF the natural world were
emphasized and the final lessor,
drawn of the escape from the real
