OUR CONSULAR SERVICE

Declaring that our consular service
is Our first line of defense, a member
OF Congress from Massachusetts is ad-
vocating complete reorganization under
a plan which he hopes will make the
service open to brains as well as 10
private fortunes. In other words. he
hopes to so alter the system that ability
TO serve and not ability to pay ones own
expenses will be the test for MANY of the
posts. He would make the consular and
diplomatic service interchangeable and
provide places in the diplomatic service
for men OF ability as opposed to men
OF great private fortune.
Whether or not this can be worked
out under Our form of government re-
mains TO be seen. automatically, this
country has nothing much to be proud Of
In our earlier days we achieved several
wonderful moral and political victories
through our diplomatic service but III
recent years there are no outstanding
claims TO attention in that line.

have, is ambassador to the court OF St
James and it can not be said that we

CHAPTER XVII.
The Methods Of Peter Cams.

The Methods Of Peter Cams.
Two men Travelled together in the
| train de luxe from Milan to Calais
Cams wore black band upon the
sleeve of his left arm; his companion
carried the marks of mourning in his
face. 1t seemed that Brendon had in
creased in age; his countenance look
ed haggard; his very voice was older.
Peter tried to distract the younger
man, who appeared TO listen. though
his mind was far away and his
thoughts brOOding upon a grave.
After pause and long silence,
while the train sped through the
darkness of the Simplon tunnel,
Peter retraced the. steps by which
he had been enabled to solve the rid
die of the Redmaynes. -
II went first TO Penzance and de-
voted several days 10 learning oil
possible particulars of the Pendean
family. On examining Michael Pen
deans ancestry, as a preliminary TO
finding out everything remembered
of Pendean himself, at once made
a highly important discovery. Joseph
Pendean, Michaers father, was often
in Italy on his pilchard business for
the firm. and he married an Italian
woman. She lived with her husband
at Penzance and bore him one son.
and daughter who died in infancy.
The lady seems to have given cause
for a certain amount of scandal. for
her Latin temperament and lively
ways did not commend themselves
to the rather austere and religious
circle in which her husband and his
relations moved. Michael was de-
voted to bis mother and accompanied
her frequently TO Italy. On one OF
these occasions. when a boy of II or
IS, he met with an, accident TO his
head; but 1 could CLEAN no particr
lars of its nature.
"When at last Mrs. Pendean died
in Italy, her husband attended the
funeral at Naples and returned 70
England Immediately afterward with
his son. The boy was subsequently
apprenticed to dentist. having ex-
preston wish to follow that pro-
fession.

Mrs. Finckbone was not setting out
TO conquer a province or to gain ever

husband. Mr.. Finckbonc is Il coal
miner. One of those terrible coal
miners whom we have heard 50 much
about. He left his wife and child
with his parents in Hutchinson. He
bummed his way TO Pitcher, Okla, TO
get job in Il coal mine. He would
not be paid for two weeks, and cOu,d
not send his wife money for the trip.
She could not wait. and so set out
afoot, carrying her baby.
That must have been ~ terrible

SUNSET ON THE BEARCANIP.

\ gold fringe on the purpling hem
Of hills the river runs
As down its long, green valley falls
The last of summers suns.
Along its tawny gravel-bed
BrOad-flowing, swift, and still,
As if its meadow levels felt.
The hurry of the hill,
Noseless between its banks of green
From curve to curve it slips;
The drowsy maple-shadows rest
Like fingers on its lips.
A waif from Carrolrs widest hills,
Unstoried and unknown;
The ursine legend of its name
Prowls its banks alone,
Yet flowers as fair its slopes adorn
As ever Yarrow knew.
Or, under rainy Irish skies,
By Sponsors Mulla grew;
And through the gaps of leaning trees
Its mountain cradle shows:
The gold against the amethyst,
The green against the rose.
Touched by light tina, hath no name,
a glory never sung,
Aloft on sky and mountain wall
Are Gods great pictures hung.
How changed the submits vast and old.
No longer granite-brOwed,
They melt in rosy mist the rock
Is softer than the cloud;
The valley holds its breath no leaf
Of all its elms is twirled:
The silence of eternity
Seer fGllil.' on the world.
The pause before the breaking seals
OF mystery is this; q.
YOn miracl -play of night and day
Makes dumb its witnesses.
What unseen altar crowns the hills
lat rCcch stair stair!
What eyes look through. what Whit wings fal
These purple wells of air?
What ~resence from the heavenly No. =
! To those of earth stoopS down!
| Not vainly Hellas draemed of gods
On Ida's snowy crown.
Slow fades the vision of the sky,
The golden water palcs,
| And all the valley-and
| gray-winged vapor sails.
| | go tie common way of all;
The sunset fires will burn.
| The flowers will blow. the river flow.
! When / no more return
| No whisper from the mountain pine

| Gods colors all are fast;

Too soon their wintry frown.
And snow-cold winds from off them shake

But ] shall see a summer sun
Still setting broad and low:
The mountain slopes shall blush and bloom.

BELIEVE 1T OR NOT

As they say in the classics. the fugit-
ing OF time brings many changes in
customs. One has but to read the daily
news to feel that he is growing old be-
fore his time. Just consider few re-
cent events reported from various parts
OF this civilized land.
4 boy was dragged off building by
his kite, and landed. fifty feet clown"
without being scratched. Thus a new
outdoor sport was introduced to the
world. 1t used to. be that boys had a
hard time keeping their kites off the
ground or out OF the neighbors' trees.
Most Americans have heard some
pretty big-or at least big-fish stories
in their time" a few days ago it was
reported from Manasquan, n. J., that
a fish had dragged four men from a
ship. and that another fish. by main
strength and awkwardness had bested
fourteen men in tug-of-war contest.
Tell this to fishermen at Medina Lake,
Then there was queer story from
Detroit, the hub OF the automobile world
4 charwoman at the municipal courts
building III that city was discharged.
Had she been loafing on the Job? No;
she was energetic and efficient. Had
she got fresh" with some of the off
cials. or maybe pulled a Charlie Chaplin
stunt with scrubbing mop? Not that
either. The commissioner who fired
her explained his action very seriously.
The woman had come to work in an
automobile; therefore she was not a
fit person to be scrubbing floors. 1t
used TO be that worker would be
commended for being progressive.
But the foregoing stories are very
commonplace as compared with one from
Chicago. the Windy City. Just how
windy this story is, the reader may Judge
ior himself. Here it is:
Six years ago sergeant in Chicago's
police department undertook to compile
guide book to help the harness Johns"
notch bulls" and cellar flats pass
examinations for promotion. 1t must
have been a. herculean task, as the book
has just been completed. And it con-
tainS so much knowledge that any po-
liceman who memories its contents will
be able to make college professors seem
utterly illiterate. Hereafter, says the
dispatch describing the book, there will
be no necessity for Chicagoans to seek
knowledge within ivy-clad walls. "Edu-
cation hereafter" one reads, will be
always within arms reach. It will be
found lolling on street carriers, coming
out OF back doors and leaning against
lamp posts. Every Chicago policeman
is going to be five-foot shelf OF sizzling
facts"
Maybe so. But if such conditions
should come to obtain in Detroit. per-
haps the educated policemen would be
discharged as being unfit for their Jobs.

A bill requiring adherence to stand ard time has been drafted by the judi ciary committee to be submitted to the house of representatives next Tuesday which If passed, will provide penalty of S100 and 10 days in jail for anyone convicted of wilfully dis playing timepiece showing anything but standard time, or so changing working schedules as to put into ef- feet so-called daylight saving" time.

|REv. A. B.TAYLOR | MAY REMAIN HERE
Official Board Meets Twice and
 Fails to Accept Resignation

Although Rev A. B. Taylor has submitted a definite resignation to The Peoples church of this city. to take effect the latter part of May, the feeling is strong among the members of the official board and the church In general that he will reconsider his action and decide to remain in this city.
 There are many rumors concerning the reasons for MT. Taylor's resigna- ton, chief among these being some vague hints. which appear to be more or less without foundation, that there has been some slight lack of coopera- tion. When asked about this by a Herald representative Mir. Taylor de- clined to make any statement, saying that his resignation had been sub mitted to the official board, as was stated in recent edition Of The Her. aid and beyond that he did not care to be quoted. When asked if there was any chance of his reconsdering, Mir. Taylor hesitated for a moment and then replied. that while he had given positive answer to the off cials of the Greensburg, Pa, church, it might be possible for him to change his mind, although he was not too positive on this point.
 No official basis for the many ru- mors can be found, according to mem- bers of the official board. The resig- nation, which was submitted to the board on Monday evening, was laid on the table until Thursday evening. and again no action was taken in either accepting or rejecting it. The official board has appointed com mittce to wait upon the minister and ascertain if there are any reasons for his leaving which cannot be over come and to endeavor if possible to have him change his mind.
 Following the visit of this commit tee, which will be some time during the coming week. meeting of the congregation will be called at which time it is felt that action will be taken. !
