Special Meetings Now In Progress

1t is the bounden duty of all good
citizens to encourage the simultan-
eous meetings now in progress. You
can do this by attending them and
by greeting those there with a kind
word or two. The churches are
glad that so many are cooperating
and emitting any social gathering
during the two weeks before Easter.
If you give a beggar penny, you
expect him TO say THANK you" If
you give a dog a bone he will lick
your hand. What shall be said of
a man who never says Thank you"
to God for all his benefits? We can
show our gratitude by worship in
one of the churches.-XX.

 Al my feet stretched a paradise of sylvan beauty bordering the river.

 l was not second too soon. The outer door opened directly after had reached the wall, and q tall woman, who limpcd, descended the steps Walking hastily across the Drive she rested her elbows on the wall and carefully scanned the park below. Of course, l did not know that she was the same one who had opened and closed the apart ment door and drawn back the cur tain from the fourth Soor window, but instinct told me that she was still watching for me. l decided then that either the janitress had falsifed when she said the occupants of the fourth floor front were not at home, or else the woman spying upon me had some means of access to that front room.
 For a tense breathless minute or two I remained close to the wall, hidden by the bushes. Then the woman turned away from the wall and made her halting way back 10 the apartment building. I watched her closely. wondering If I ever had seen her before, but l was sure that I knew no one Of her appearance. Waiting only until the door closed upon her, I hurried swiftly toward the north, keeping close 10 the wall until came to another flight of steps q good quarter of mile from the place where I had taken shelter.

From 1t descended q flight of stone steps, and when l had gone down three of them l found that I was securely hidden from the observation of anyone either on the Drive or in the houses facing it.
 This was what I wanted. l did not attempt to analyze the impulse which had made me flee impetuously from the watching eyes of the per son who had drawn aside the cur tain of the fourth floor window. only knew that I desired two things
