The earliest Christian chapel ever
discovered has been moved over
seas from Syria and reconstructed
in the Yale Gallery of Fine Arts, at
New Haven, Conn. The chapel is
of extra ordinary historic interest,
since it dates from the early part
Of the Third century, when Chris
tians worshiped secretly in Rome's
catacombs, in such tiny, concealed
rooms as the Syrian chapel. On
the walls are paintings, indicating
how early Christians pictured such
scenes as Christ healing the lame
man at Capernaum, Peter attempt
ing to walk on the water and the
three Marys at the tomb of Christ.
A box-like affair is identified as an
early baptismal font. 1t is rooted
by a barrel vault supported by pill
lars.
Yale psychologists who unearthed
the chapel in ruins of Dura- on-the-
Euphrates, says a writer in the
Kansas City Star, trace it's history
through several generations of use,
ending with Dura's fall in the Per-
sian siege of 256 A. d. The chapel,
they explain, first was merely a Sc
cluded room in the home Of wealthy

CHAPTER III

Father Junipero Sierra paced quiz
city along the dusty road, little more
than a path, that led from the hum
BILE adobe church of San Carlos Bor-
romeo to hut where an Indian lay
dying. Only an Indian, but Padre
Sierra wore vestments suitable to
the occasion, and bore in his hands
the sacred oil.
Some time later, the Indians soul
having been commended to Heaven,
Father Sierra started back to the
mission.
Horses hoofs suddenly shook the
ground. Two horsemen rode be-
side him as he limped steadily on,
murmuring a psalm. They dis
mounted near him. One, as he
dropped on his knees, crossed HIM
self and threw his reins to the other
with the same gesture. Padre Sierra
did not glance at them as they knelt
beside the path. But he knew well
who they were: Don Pedro FACES,
Gobernador-G General of the Califor-
Mas, and his servant were on their
knees at the passing Of the sacra-
ment.
When he had returned sacrament
and pyx to the church and Invested
himself, Pho told him that the Cob
ernador was waiting to see him. He
sighed deeply.
He had seen the Gobernador many
times since they had parted so bit
terly that autumn evening. But on
ly at mass. They had never ex-
changed a word since then. AS he
tied the heavy cord about his robe,
his fingers trembled. He prepared
himself for the interview with
brief fervent prayer, and went to
meet Don Pedro.
There was slight embarrassed
silence, then the Governor moved
impulsively forward and knelt at
the priests feet.
"Your blessing, Father" he
begged.
with all my hearth" answered
the Franciscan, lifting his hands
over the broad shoulders of the
kneeling man.
Then FACES rose with deep
breath, and a smile.
"Well!" he said.
"Well?"
"Ah, Padre milo, have news for
you! Great news, good news! Your
prayers have been answered, and
so have mine"
"You mean"

CHAPTER Nv

The Lady Eulalia huddled herself
into as small bundle as she could
on the doubtful seat Of the lancha
which was pulling rapidly away
from the unfriendly harbor Of San
Bias. AS the standing oarsmen bent
to their long sweeps she could
glimpse between them the low ware
houses on the shore, and the bare
ribs Of ship under construction in
the shipyard. But her tear-flled
eyes watched, until it was no larger
than watermelon seed, her COM
Portable coach sitting on the shore.
Resolutely she looked about her
in the craft. There sat Angustias,
with her pet Capuchin monkey in
her arms, cuddling the shivering
little beast to her gaunt breast, her
eyes as dismal as the monkeys.
Pedro the Younger sat beside
her. Soon a huge shadow loomed
over them. They looked up.
There, with screaming gulls wheel
ing and whirling about her, rose the
steep sides and high, ungainly poop
Of the paquebot San Carlos, some
times called the Golden Fleece.
For few terrifying moments, Eu-
lalia hung between heaving sea and
uncertain sky, clambering up the
bullying unfriendly sides of the San
Carlos to the deck.
Immediately, in her stuffy cabin,
began a suspension Of time and fac
ulties, broken only once, as she
reused herself to ask question Of
the drear Angustias, wan with worry
over her seasick monkey.
MY chests - they are safe
aboard?"
Being treasured that the so chests
of raiment, jewels, linens and silks
were safely slowed, she relapsed
again into her coma of mareami-
ento, seasickness, and emerged not
until she was safely on the shores
of Baja California.
California! Anxiously she regard
ed the ancient mission settlement
of Loreto, the first outpost Of that
mysterious land to- which she was
summoned. Here was the sordid-
ness for which she had been pre-
pared, but where were the. glories
that had been mentioned?
Beautiful California;" she
sneered. Lovely California! My
home. Ha." Then she smiled gra-
ciously at the young officer come to
escort her to quarters in the quad
rangle. Once within its bare white
walls she felt she could abandon
herself to all her weakness, her des-
olation, her fear of this strange
country and the dreaded journey be-
fore her. But she discovered some
of the million black evil bugs.

"Ai, al! Indizuela." The matron
hurried forward, and Father Sierra
lifted restraining hand. But FACES
only roared louder.
'You are right, Dona Maria, and
Fray Junipero! Don't let her talk
about me! A CODA hero! Al, al,
al! Ho, no" He stopped breath
lessly. The girls giggled, and Indi-
zuela sat indifferently down to her
weaving.
At last FACES got his breath.
"After all, Padre Junipero," he
said, "she is just child"
''My son." answered the friar, II
am pleased at your unworldliness.
Come with me and see this dove
COTE" He led the Governor through
the long dormitory where he could
see little straw pallets beneath
barred windows.
"Nests where they sleep at night,
safe from HARM" explained the
priest.
They went into the kitchen where
great bowls of mush boiled and
dubbed, and curious girls watched
the process that they might learn it.
Then they passed into the garden.
"Now, Pedro Fages," said Sierra
gravely, think we'll on what you
have seen. Remember this dove
cote where ignorant Indian girls are
made into useful pious women,
where they are kept safe from the
evils of the world. Most of the
girls you have seen so busily en-
gagged, would have been depraved
animals had it not been for the
teaching we bring Them"
II know" replied the Governor
thoughtfully.
''Do you not think they are better
off as they are?" inquired Sierra
anxiously. do you not think they
are really happier? Think of their
lives as savages! You know as
well as I the frightful, filthy GUS
toms that attend the Indian women
at their child-bearing-"
"Ugh, indeed I do, Padre" He
put his hand on the others Shout
der. "You are a wonder worker"
he said respectfully.
"Thank you. Oh, I have prayed,
my son, that the blessed Santa Ma
ria would soften your heart toward
her poor savage children. If that
had happened-if that could hap
pen-the way of Junipero Sierra
would have been much easier in
this land"
FACES looked thoughtful.
"You are right. But Our Lady
does not seem to think her servant
worthy Of being filed with the milk
of human kindness. I am sorry.
You have deserved better"
Sierra raised hand in protest.
II have received what I have de-
served. 1t is my destiny to irrigate
this vice covered field with my
blood"
FACES fingered his beard uncona-
fortably. "Um-m. should call that
destiny doom. To mingle ones
blood with the soil of California!
There could be more dreadful
dooms."
"Well," spoke Sierra with hearth
ness, 1--WE will not consider that
now. I could sing for JOY at the
news you have brought me! My

Three Pews Set Aside

When Washington's historic Christ
Episcopal church was built in 1907
three free pews were set aside, one
for the rector, one for the donor of
the building, and the third for the
President. Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe worshiped there.

Church, and we are responsible for
their welfare? We have not deemed
it we'll for the Indian maids to as
sociate with the-with the"
with the soldiery, I suppose?
Well, good Father, do not be afraid.
She will associate with my wife, and
I assure you she is not soldier
like person at all, and will not cor

The father protested. II do not
mean that ;"
"And there will be another wom-
an, too. There is the Dona Angus
tias. Ha! She will make that In
dian maid adhere to the straight
and narrow path. She is my wife's
duena, very thin female with mus
tachios like a grenadier, pious
churchwoman, and militant vir-
gin.'
Sierra smiled. "Ah, my son, your
humor is dear to me. You are re-
sponsible for many a smile that
would not otherwise have lightened
my face, just as you are responsible
for many a heartache-but none of
that. Come with me, Don Pedro,
and you shall see Indizuela."
They paced slowly together, and
stopped before an unpretentious
structure, built as all the other mis-
sion buildings were built, long and
low, with a matched roof.
"Hola!" called Sierra. The chat
tering and laughter that rollicked
through the high barred window APP
ertures stopped. A song ceased sud-
denly in singers throat.
1t was the quarters Of the young
Indian women, half facetiously
called the monjera-the nunnery.
The sun shone on the warm red of
tiled floors, and wildly emphasized
bright colors on blankets and cloth
which some of the girls were weav-
ing. It shone on sleek blue-black
heads raised for moment from
fine needlework, and seemed to
point out to FACES eyes a young
girl, whose half-opened mouth had
still fragment of song lingering
on the lips.
'Indizuela!" called a wornan's
voice excitedly. tGirls! Do you not
see? 1t is Ell Gobernador himself!
And Fray Junipero! Rise, all of
you'll" There was a great auttering,
as the Spanish matron and her flock
of dark doves made their obei-.
sances. When they were seated
again, and pretending to work, Fray
Junipero walked to Indizuela and
took her by the hand, saying, your
benefactor, Ell Gobernador, wishes
to speak to you, child"
The singing girl walked toward
the Governor with grace and poise.s
Somehow lighter, somehow taller,
somehow fairer-formed than other
Indians" he thought as she came
the long length of the room.
She waited for him to speak first,
but he only twisted his beard, so
she spoke in careful Spanish.
IT hope you are well, Senior ell
Gobernador. I pray God for your
good health and deliverance from
all infrmities. I thank God daily
for your kindness in saving me from
death and horror"
FACES started at her words.
Someone has taught you to say
that! You have learned it word by
word. Haven't you?"
Isl, Senior ell Gobernador. Padre
Junipero and Dona Maria have
taught me-"
FACES laughed, twinkling his eyes
and opening his mouth widely. The
other girls and the matron looked
at one another. Sierra looked at the
floor.

Wilfred ]. Funk Starts
Argument With His
Dog Vocabulary.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

JUST as the dog-days start, Will
fred J. Funk, the photographer,
issues his 204-word dog vocabu-
larry. and. judging from the talk
on the 8l5 this morning, he has
started an argument in which the
public will engage with more zest than
in the renewed debate on price eco
nomics.
Although Mr. Funk did his research
work on his Long Island country
estate, the commuters, to a man, in
sisted that his six dogs must all be
city sybarites. His list included no
such words as squirrel, chipmunk,
muskrat, hedgehog, porcupine, snake.
skunk, flea or swim. Regardless Of
city and country distinctions, it was
noted that the word don't" was miss
ing from the new dog lexicon, and
many phrases, such as wanna bis
cuit?' and wanna take a walk?" No
doubt, letters to the newspapers for
the next few weeks will be heavily
freighted with dog words which Mr..
Funk overlooked.
Mr.. Funk Is minister's son who has
taken to writing frivolous and naughty
verse in the last few years. His third
volume of poems, 1T Might Be Verse;
recently was published. A plodding
wordsmith for 20 years, after his
graduation form Princeton in 1909, he
sent raffish little jingle to Judge.
| and since then hasn't been keeping
his mind on his dictionaries-except
to compile one for the dogs Not that
the dictionary business is going to the
dogs. His company and Webster's
| divide the business about evenly be-
tween them.
Several years ago he issued his list
Of the 10 most beautiful words. such
as dawn. hush. lullaby, murmur. etc.
Few Of the literati agreed with him.
Dorothy Parker said "cheque' and
| "inclosed' were, to her, the loveliest
words in the language. Hendrix Van
Loon said that, for some mysterious
reason. the word cellar door" stirred
him more deeply than any other.
| Mr.. Funks father, the Rev. DR..
Isaac Kaufman Funk. was rector of St.
Marks Lutheran Church in Brooklyn.
| He was the co-founder of the die
tionary business and the late Literary
Digest. His son began his career by
selling Jewish encyclopedias.
| He worked with six dogs, chief Of
which is Trusty, half German police
dog and half hound. While Mr.. Funk's
report covers recognition vocabu-
larry Trusty might turn out to be
talker, as well. There have been sew
eral famous German taking dogs
back in the days of free speech in
Germany. The late James Gordon
Bennett Of the New York Herald sent
a cablegram to his star reporter in
Paris: Go Berlin Immediately see
talking dog" The reporter had
good time in Berlin for two weeks and
cabled back interviewed talking dog.

in much the same fashion as the
National Government is operated If
the Pennsylvania precedent is al
lowed to stand unchallenged it will
mean that State may at any time
tamper with the judicial system,
taking cases from its jurisdiction in
the midst of trial and thus denying
the people the benefits of an honest
judicial system.
The voters of Pennsylvania may or
may not perceive as yet the depths
to which public morality has sunk
when political legislatures are used
to squelch public charges of wrong
doing. but this is the kind of thing
which voters, irrespective Of party,
have in the past been quick to re-

" YHAT effect the 1nvestlgatlons

may have on the primaries
in Tennessee and Kentucky this week
is extremely problematical. in the
opinion Of political experts here. What
ever good results from q public stand
point may come from the committees
efforts are more likely to be revealed
in the future, they hold, maintaining
that the day when choices are to be
made is too close at hand for any
action the committee may take to have
noticeable effect on the present situa-
ton. If a longer time were permitted
to lapse, it Is believed that some actual
changes in public sentiment might
follow the committees statements
based on its preliminary "look In" on
political conditions in the two States.
With both primaries at hand, however.
it is felt that nothing which might
be done now could 'permeate" far
enough into the political conscience to
make a dent one way or the other.
1t is to its broader effect and to the
bearing on future elections that the
committee looks for favorable public
reaction to the investigations 1t Is now
conducting.
TODAY to a greater extent than ut
any previous time in the history OF
the country, the State Department Is
keeping an "eye on the world" Re-
ports from almost every corner Of the
globe reach this department Of the
Government daily:Nan while ofncials
decline to comment on most Of these
communications. either because they
contain confidential information or be-
cause the United States IS not involved
directly in the subject matters dis
cussed, nevertheless it furnishes them
with a comprehensive picture Of what
is transpiring in all foreign fields.
When the State Department was
established in 1889, being then known
as the Department Of Foreign Affairs, y
it consisted of q Secretary whose
salary was $500 per annum; an As
sistant Secretary who drew the NUM-
ficent salary Of $500 a year; and three
clerks at annual salaries of $3.50, $3.50
and $50, respectively. During the fol-
lowing IL years the personnel, includ-
ing tht Secretary. increased to 10 per-
sons.
Except in the field Of foreign af-
fairs there has been less activity in
governmental affairs in Washington
this summer than during any similar
period since the present administra-
ton came into ONCE. The regular
routine of the various Government de-
partments, of course, has been NOV
ing along without interruption. but
in the way of important new develop
ments of national import and inter-
est. there has been little activity. Sew
eral congressional committees have
been pursuing their inquiries but most
of the political problems which cen
ter in Washington when Congress Is
in session, have been put on the
shelf or transferred, temporarily At
least. to the States during the con-
gressional interim. With the Presi-
