which was attended by forty people
who are not in tho habit of Suuday
observance. He was cordially invited
to repeat the exercises next Sunday
afternoon. This is one of the most
welcome, facts that has occurred in thu
city for sometime. The people in the
.Borthern part of the city have so many
churches, and so many religious minis
trations that they do uot fully appre

save others. White men rescued tie

much about the race war, raco hatred

The fearless editor may offend and

If he tries to ride all the horses in the

honest, well-considered convictions,
and the man he should labor to please
is himself. If he does this with ability
and without fear or favor he will
have h great following and better

The Quest
Anything Mint is homeless nrouscs
olio's sympathy and a homeless cow
should naturally aharo In this outpour
ing of kindly emotion, nut tho night
Mint tho McLano'B cow lost her happy
homo nobody lu tho summer commun
ity sat up nnd wept In tender corumls
oration. Just why tho cow should lmvo chos
en to wnndcr from tho comfortnhlc,
hny stuffed hnrn'townrd dusk when tho
McLnncd' man hnd his back turned for
a fatnl instant is one of tho mysteries
of bovine psychology which nobody enn
figure out. Tho cow, Intoxicated by
her freedom, wandered fnr down tho
Ink shore. After wandering for rt
while, however, tho darkness and tho
scurrying of smnll unknown nnlmnls
In tho underbrush mndo her nervous
and she began to look around for her
warm nnd cozy barn.
In something like a panic nho lum
bered nlong through tho trees until
filio saw n light. "Aha!" said tho
cow, "homo at Inst."
Tho light shone from the cottngo oc
cupied by Miss Atkinson, a. maiden ot
n consldernblo number of yenrs, who
was entertaining nt the moment three
other staid and elderly women nt
bridge
Just ns ono of tho threo had said
disgustedly that she made It spades
Miss Atkinson, who was facing the
porch, gave n bloodcurdling shriek
nnd her enrds flew nil over the room.
"A man!" she hissed. "There was
a mnn peering In through tho porch
pcrecn door! He dleappeured when I
Jumped!"
Her guests tipped 'over the card ta
ble In arising hastily. If there wero
prowlers nt this quiet and safe rcaort
they were of' the indignant opinion
that something ought to he done about
it!
Ono of the bravest of tho four ven
tured out to tho porch and in a qua
voting voice demanded to know who
wns Micro, while the others support
ed her with the carving knife and the
broom.
Nothing answered from tho silence,
which made It all the worse.
The guests put Miss Atkinson to bed
with the hot water bag and the smell
ing salts and locked every window in
the cottngo. Then, shivering with
fright, the three hold hands, and bolt
ed for the hotel.
It was a little, later that the Hundy
cottngo was upset. Mrs. Bundy had
put the children to bed and was
crocheting while her guest, Mrs. HuN
ton, wns rending aloud a particularly
gruesome detective story. Suddenly
Mrs. Bundy mndo a startled clutch at!
Mrs. Hulton's wrist and said: "Lls-s-s-ten!"
Mrs. Hulton heard It, too. "Th-th-there
must be two of 'em!" stain
mercd Mrs. Hulton. "I can hear four
f-f-feet Just as plain!"
Thoro certainly wero several differ
ent footsteps outside tho cottage
slow, careful footsteps.
"I Just know something awful would
happen when Charley weut bnck to
Chicago yesterday!" she gasped. ,
Mrs. Hulton said wildly: '
"Q-g-gct tho g-g'-ggun!"
Mrs. Hulton's grent-grnndfather had
fought In n war, so she know Imme
diately tho best method of defense.
Holding tho family revolver at arm's,
length nnd with her head turned tho
other way, Mrs. Bundy sat down again
nnd listened. There wns nothing to
be heard. They pacscd tho rest of tho
night on guard.
Farther down tho lako shore, on tho
rustic scat facing the moon, Laura
Spllger and her young man sat talk
lng. Their nbsorptlon In each other
wns go groat that they heard nothing
until something strange wrb thrust
over Laura's left shoulder. Young
Burninstor made n wild but futile grab
ns sho leaped In tho air.
Landing on tho extreme edge of tho
slippery terrace, she tumbled down In
to tho lapping waters with a gurgling
splash.
Then as young Burmaster, too,
sensed tho prcsonco of something
weird and. lncxpllcab'.o ho folt his
tscalp twitch In freezing horror, nnd
leaped after Laura. Hand In hand
they nroso, dripping, nnd stood affright
ed In two feet ot water at tho shore's
edge.
, From tho Spllger cottngo camo ques
tioning rumblings. Laura's father wns
demanding to know tho renson for nil
Mint uproar. Gottlng no answer, bo
eauso tho two in tho lnke wero still
paralyzed vocally, ho came forth to,
Investigate
"What do you want?" he roared at
something creeping by. "I'll tench you'
to prowl around my houso, consanv
you!" Presently Micro was a spite-,
ful pop of tho little Spllger boy's alr-j
Bun.
Then there was silence.
Nothing happened. The Spllgers1
nnd young Burmaster sat up very late)
discussing tho mystery. .
At an impromptu masB meeting the
next morning the cottagers voted to,
upend SCO a month for a watchman..
Then they took naps all the rest ofl
the day to make up for their wakefuli
night.
But early the same morning a weary)
and homesick cow had broken Into a
gallop as she spied the McLanes' barn.'
and In two minutes more she was
munching her feed and switching flies,'
nnd appeared to be wondering what
nil the excitement In the neighbor-1
hood was about, anyway.

SOMETHING NEW
IK LYCEUM WORK
Cambridge Players Unlike Other
Entertainers.
Tho Cambridge Players represent a
new Idea In Lyceum work, not only in
the nature of tho program and tho
mnnnor of irep:irlnt; It, but. uIeo in Its
method of preuentntlon.
After coaching with EllaB Day, the
company pavo a full year under hla
dlroctlon In selecting their material
ao
and propnihig It for platform use. It
1b, therefor, wholly unlike any other
offered by lyceum companies.
The program waH rehearsed almost
dally for a year and given about 50
times In public before they began
tholr regular Lyceum work. The ro
suit Is that every Lyceum committee
accords them the highest pralso, a
sample of tho expressions being, "The
most delighted audience that ever as
sembled In" our opora "houso"; "We
can hook thorn for a return date at
any tlmo and crowd the houso on two
days' notice"; "No company ever gave
such universal satisfaction."
Literary and musical merit, as well
as the best humor and dramatic art,
ire well represented In tho program.
