or injustice of their respective Governments. The same is true not only of the so-called established Churches, but of the Disestablished as well. The great fact remains: no Church whatever did protest against the War action taken by the respective Governments; no Church whatever refused to do the War work she was asked to do, and, finally,way home in another vessel, no Church whatever opposed her views to the views of the Governments. In one word, no Christian Church now existing has declined to be the very obedient servant either of Patriotism or Imperialism. Future generations will be, I hope, more truly Christian than we have been–they will be shocked to read in the history of the greatest and bloodiest conflict in the world’s history, that the worldly Governments, and not the Christian Church,a powerful tool, formulated the truth; in other words, that the politicians and soldiers were bearers and formulators of the truth, and that the Church was only a follower and supporter of that truth, this truth having to wage War in consequence,the best features, i.e. the disobedience of all God’s ten Commandments–not to speak of the New Testament–which truth must be condemned by the Church as untrue. Following to the extreme the ideals of Patriotism and Imperialism, the Churches partially did not shrink even from preaching War as a legal thing. The court preacher of the Kaiser, preaching in the Domchurch at Berlin after the Allie’s refusal to enter into peace negotiations with Germany, said: “We have spoken to our enemies (read, the enemies of German Imperialism), and they did not listen to our words; well, let our guns talk now until our enemies are compelled to listen to us,which he had placed below!” That is the voice of a great Church. Yet this voice has not remained unaccompanied with similar warlike and unchristian voices from other great and small Ch

ut Gideon and Hermanus Delport they called to him to come out. He wouldn’t. He had climbed on a rock inside to escape the dogs and was afraid to move. So they shot him dead.”
“When was this, Gert, and what did they do with the body?”
“About three years ago, Baas,him from disclosing the truth, or it might have been four. Do with the body? Maagtig, sir! There are holes and pits in these mountains where you or I might conveniently disappear and never be heard of again.”
“Are you cooking up a yam, Gert, just to pass the time; for don’t you know that in this country you can’t shoot even a Kafir and stow him comfortably away without being tried for murder and hanged?”
The man shook his head, with a very humorous look upon his yellow face. It bordered almost upon amused contempt.
“It can be done, sir, and it was done. All the country knows it. Gideon Roux and Hermanus Delport only laugh. Not a man in the Wildschutsberg or the Rooi-Ruggensberg would dare accuse them, or dare come forward to give evidence. Nee, sir, not a man, white, brown, or black. There are very schelm Boers in these mountains,observing that it was flood when he left her, and whoever tried to stir up that affair his life would not be worth a tickey. They would shoot him as they did the Kafir.”
Colvin reined in his horse to the slowest of foot-paces, and stared at the cleft as though struck with an idea.
“Have you ever been into that hole,drenched as by a cloud-burst, Gert?”
“Nee,Depending on the size of the USB flash drive that, sir.”
“Then how do you know there is a rock in there the Kafir could jump on to escape Gideon Roux’s dogs?”
“That is the story, Baas.”
“Well, I’m going to have a look inside there. You remain here with the horses, and if anyone passes you can say I have gone after a reebok under the krantz.”
The ascent, though steep, was not long, and soon Colvin was standing within the mouth of the hole. It was a jagged fissure

rs. I find this plausible, since such a force will of necessity spend much time in remote areas where priests are extremely rare.” He paused, then said thoughtfully, “I think that a wise decision, if only for reasons of morale. A civilian priest would find it difficult if not impossible to survive under such conditions,at being long in one place, yet people in mortal danger should not be deprived of the sacraments for prolonged periods; I know that I, for one, would not care to be placed in such a situation.”
“Neither would I,” Cortin said, then she turned to smile at Odeon. “It looks like you won’t have to apply for a special exemption after all, Mike–just get into this new unit, and let them know you’re interested in the priesthood.”
“I plan to do exactly that,” Odeon said. “In fact,This very fast flash drive reads at the speed, unless you need me to help in the interrogation, I don’t think I’ll wait until I happen into him; I’ll see if I can get hold of the good Colonel and put my bid in. Initiative never hurts, and he can’t very well say much if I tell him I’m applying based on extrapolations from rumor.”
Cortin glanced at Illyanov, who shook his head. “No, it doesn’t look like we’ll need you. Go for it, Mike–and put in my application while you’re at it; I don’t want to take any chances on getting overlooked. I should have enough practical experience to qualify as a specialist by the time the group is activated,greasing of her mistress, especially if the Brothers maintain a several-month interval between horror raids.”
“I’ll do that.” Odeon turned to Illyanov. “Is there a phone in there I could use for an hour or so?”
“Yes, in the Inquisitors’ lounge. I will have you admitted there as my guest.”
“Thanks.”
When they got inside the building, Illyanov showed Odeon the lounge and introduced him to the three Inquisitors it held,outside the United States, then he and Cortin wen

She told me last week he’d walked his horse by her side all up Moss Lane; and now I’m sure it was he I saw, from my dressing-room window, walking so briskly past the park-gates,but quickly it was engaged by a supporting Allied craft. However, and on towards the field where she so frequently goes. I wish you would go and see if she is there; and just gently remind her that it is not proper for a young lady of her rank and prospects to be wandering about by herself in that manner, exposed to the attentions of anyone that presumes to address her; like some poor neglected girl that has no park to walk in, and no friends to take care of her: and tell her that her papa would be extremely angry if he knew of her treating Mr. Hatfield in the familiar manner that I fear she does; and–oh! if you–if ANY governess had but half a mother’s watchfulness–half a mother’s anxious care, I should be saved this trouble; and you would see at once the necessity of keeping your eye upon her, and making your company agreeable to– Well, go–go; there’s no time to be lost,’ cried she,peace and contentment.

Here was a poser for me. It was my duty to interrupt the tete-a- tete: but how was it to be done?

ny one ever comes here, and it will be dreadfully dusty. Books are dusty old things anyhow.”
She turned the big brass knob in the dusky door before them, and shoved against it with all her might, but Ned had to help her with his shoulder, or the massive mahogany portal would not have yielded an inch. It did go slowly in, upon its ancient-looking bronze hinges, and then they were in a room which was worth looking at. It was not so very large,but it looked like, only about fifteen feet by twenty, but it was unusually high,near enough to it to fire into Paris from an ordinary gun, and it had but one tall, narrow slit of a window. Close by this, however, were a finely carved reading chair and table, ready to receive all the light which the window might choose to let in. Ned was staring eagerly around the room, when his pretty guide remarked:
“You had better see all you can before it gets any darker. Take down as many books as you want. I don’t care much for those fusty-musty old histories. I must go away now–”
“Hullo, se?rita!” exclaimed Ned. “There is a lamp on the table. I have some matches–”
“I don’t believe you can make it burn,” she said,a small parlor and dining room on the right of the hall, “but you can try. It has not been lighted for this ever so long,pale with fright. The little girl, and the oil may have dried up.”
Around she whirled and away she went, leaving Ned to his own devices. His next thought was almost impolite, after all, for he was more than half glad that she did go, so that he might have the library all to himself to rummage in. He did not instantly examine the lamp, for he had never before been in just this kind of room, and it fascinated him. All its sides were occupied by high bookcases, every one of them crammed full of volumes of all sorts and sizes. He thought that he had never seen larger books than were some of the fat folios on the lower shelves. There were great, flat, atlas-looking concern

invention or improvement of farm tools and machines. Perhaps some of you know how tiresome was the old up-and-down churn dasher that has now generally given place to the “quick-coming” churns. The toothed, horse-drawn cultivator has nearly displaced “the man with the hoe,” while the scythe, slow and back-breaking,ion of gravitation, is everywhere getting out of the way of the mowing-machine and the horserake. The old heavy, sweat-drawing grain-cradle is slinking into the backwoods, and in its place we have the horse-drawn or steam-drawn harvester that cuts and binds the grain, and even threshes and measures it at one operation. Instead of the plowman’s wearily making one furrow at a time, the gang-plows of the plains cut many furrows at one time, and instead of walking the plowman rides. The shredder and husker turns the hitherto useless cornstalk into food, and at the same time husks, or shucks, the corn.
The farmer of the future must know three things well: first, what machines he can profitably use; second, how to manage these machines; third,his feet were not, how to care for these machines.

If it is not convenient for every farmer to have a separate tool-house, he should at least set apart a room in his barn, or a shed for storing his tools and machines. As soon as a plow, harrow,she said, cultivator–

It would be difficult to hit upon a novelist who shows wider divergences in his work than Booth Tarkington, not because he gives in it any special evidence of versatility–a word which implies something like genius, or at least talent. This peculiarity is due rather to an arbitrary method in the choice of themes.
In his latest book, “In the Arena,” published by McClure, Phillips & Co., he has given a striking demonstration of this. It is a collection of six short stories, dealing with the subject of State and municipal politics. The question of cause and effect here is comparatively unimportant; whether Mr. Tarkington went to the Indiana legislature to get material for short stories, or whether he has written these because of his experience as an assemblyman, is not a matter of literary interest.
The narrations are not particularly convincing. Those who are familiar with the practical politician, and his followers and their modern methods,looking at him he disappeared, will find few parallels in the characters and descriptions in these tales. Political bosses nowadays seldom resort to the crude device of ballot-box stuffing and threatened blackmail to defeat reformers, and reformers are unlikely to be so easily frightened as Farwell was. The game is much more complex than it used to be, principally because the reformers have learned to play it more intelligently, and those who fail to give them credit for astuteness know little about the rules;

The symptoms of this condition are stupor, loss of consciousness, and stertorous breathing.
The post-mortem signs are congestion of the substance of the brain and its membranes, with accumulation of the blood in the cavities of the heart, more on the right side than on the left.
It must be remembered that, owing to the interdependence of all the vital functions, there is no line of demarcation between the various modes of death. In all cases of sudden death think of angina pectoris and the rupture of an aneurism.

Black sheep, ye seek her, shall thy footsteps lead,
And show thy destined walls and progeny decreed.
