Drouin and Lachance will be at the wharf in fifteen minutes, Monsieur Tessier, he said. The cure nodded and, took Baptiste by the arm. The three began to stroll toward the wharf. When they arrived at the wharf-heahowever, instead of proceeding toward the schooner the cure led the way, still holding Baptiste, toward Duponts cottage. Baptiste stopped near the door. , Where are you taking me. Father Luden? he asked. I do not go there. . And, as the cure seemed bent on proceeding Inside, he wrested himself v away. I No, mon pere," he said firmly. have obeyed thee once tonight, but now thou askest what Is beyond thy right or power. I do not enter there. My son, answered the priest, since thou hast chosen rightly tonight, I tell thee now that that story was not true. It was Pierre and Leblanc who took Marie Dupont to the Island, and Monsieur Askew and Monsieur Connell ' here found her and saved her from them, and brought her home. In my pocket I have a letter. .Tomorrow thou shalt read It and understand. Mon pere!' stammered Baptiste, and began to tremble. Learn It from her lips. Mon pere, I do not go Inside that house. If it is true, I am not worthy. Besides, she hates me, and Still holding his arm the cure openef the door. Marie Dupont ! he called. The girl stumbled toward the door, saw Baptiste at the cures side, and uttered a frightened cry. Father Luclen took Jean Baptiste by the arm and led him into the house. He closed the door gently, but not before Lafe had seen Marie in Jeans arms. Lafe swore softly. Whats the matter, Mr. Lafe? asked Father Luclen. "Nothing, answered Lafe shortly. I was Just thinking of Shoeburyport, Mass., thats all. You wouldnt understand. At least He looked at the cure, and then it occurred to him that he was viewing him from an entirely different angle. For the first time In their acquaintance It occurred to him that Father Luclen was really a man underneath his long soutane. When, a few minutes late, the priest opened the door, Marie and Jean came forward with linked arms, and their expressions were transformed. Jean grasped Lafe by the hand and looked at him earnestly, but did not say a word. The Come now,, said the cure. men are waiting on the wharf for us. Bon soir, Marie. I go with Jean, said the girl. By Jing, but not before Duponts words had been heard. From the group upon Baptistes ship a figure disengaged herself and stepped forward. It was Marie Dupont. She poised herself upon the deck, and her voice rang out above the gale and the sea. I give you the name, she cried. It Is Edouard Brousseau. It is he, and I give you my secret which I have borne all my life. Take It ! She fell back into Baptistes arms. And it seemed as If, with the breaking of the inhibition, her past life, with Its fears and terrors, was me)ted Into the life of happiness that was to be. Dupont had heard her. For a moment they could see the tall figure, of hair the old man, with his and beard, standing as If petrified upon his blazing deck. Then he cried and his out like a screaming about the man at his side. As Baptiste turned and tacked It could be seen that the old man was holding Brousseau with one arm, as easily as if he held a child, while his free hand controlled the wheel again. What reservoir of strength he drew upon, what miracle of seamanship, could never be known. But, as If nature were aiding him, a veering gust caught the sails, and with a backward movement the schooner began to glide through the entrance of the Ice field Into open water. The fire was all about them. Screams ame from the doomed ship, but they came from Brousseau, struggling in Duponts arms. Not a sound came from the captains lips. The vessel gained her freedom, she turned and began to drive eastward, toward the Gulf and its open water. Faster and faster she went as the wind compelled her. HJie horrified watchers upon the deck of Baptistes schooner saw the blazing vessel glide into the distance, a blazing comet, and Dupont, black against the heart of the fire, and Brousseau in his arms. by the whipping wind, wind-tosse- sea-bir- arms-close- The Zigzag on the Way to Baguio, Summer Capital of the Philippines.

Then he dealt a hand while the banker was giving each man his checks. The first man after the deal bet the limit. Every man of the seven around the table came In, each tilting the pot for the limit. Say, said Corbett, I thought you fellows were going to play light Thats a fine way to start out. This evoked not even a response from the players. Each was sitting tight and covertly eying his neighbors. The dealer asked the first man how many cards he wonted. He stood pat. Every player around the board looked startled. Then the next man stood pat. And after him the next and finally all seven. It was at that moment that some one observed Mr. Corbett apparently about to choke in his secluded comer.

Not only Is there sufficient power in this river to electrify a line from Manila to Baguio, but to operate the street railways of Manila, light the city and furnish power for manufacturing concerns. But we have now arrived at Camp One. From this point the scenery rapidly changes as the elevation increases. We are traveling over the famous Benguet road, the construction of which through the mountains Is a most remarkable engineering triumph. At places the road is blasted out of the solid granite. Riding on the edge of a 100 foot precipice makes one feel like On the 17th of January, in 1706, Benjamin Franklin was bom at Boston. His father was a soap and candle-makehis mother, the daughter of a Quaker poet of Nantucket When Benjamin was ten he was taken from school and set to work In his fathers factory. He never again attended a regular school, yet he became a scholar. He was Inept and unhappy at his first occupation, so his father apprenticed him to his brother to lean the trade of a printer. When he was seventeen he ran away from his brother and opened a printing office In Philadelphia. He pursued the career of printer and publisher until 1736, when he was made clerk of the Pennsylvania assembly. This was the beginning of his public career, and he rose steadily until he became one of the most striking figures In America. In France, when he was sent there as ambassador after the Revolutionary war, he became as widely known and loved as in his own country.

These accidents are attributed to a particular sort of weariness of eye muscles as well as eye nerves. The eye fails to convey to the brain a proper eye picture of the ground or other object The eye falls very much as the muscles of an untrained athlete fall. Many exercises for the eye have been designed which will remedy this How would YOU like a raise, like thi s ? -- and for 34 "Years Work. is the kind of increase in THAT minister salary has received.

Some of the turns are so sharp It Is Impossible to see 20 feet ahead, and we seem to be perilously near the jumping off place. We wonder if it Is safe to lean out and peer into the canyon far below, and when we do we are perfectly satisfied we are flirting with death. Yet the trip Is a safe one, providing our driver has better nerves than our own. All too soon we reach the outskirts of Baguio, a city among the clouds, and are rather surprised at the modern city we find It to be. In ten years Baguio has grown from a village of huts to the now justly famed mountain resort of the Philippines, sometimes called the Philippine Simla. It is undoubtedly destined some day to become a large city, Baguio ranges In elevation from 4,500 to 5,500 feet and Is surrounded practically, on 'all sides by high mountain ridges and hogsbacks towering Into the skies at a height of almost 8,000 feet. Aside' from the scenery, which Is noteworthy, the great blessing of Baguio is its temperate climate, which is indeed a godsend .to those Impoverished by the tropical temperatures of the lowlands. Not only Is the mountain air rich In ozone, but It has been demonstrated to be extraordinarily free from germr of all kinds. Each year during the hot season the school teachers of the entire archipelago are enabled by the government to spend a month at the teachers camp In Baguio for recreation and conference on school work. American army officers and their families also go to Baguio for the hot months. And now that your trafeloguer has you In Baguio, he believes he will leave you there, for there are many Interesting side trips to take, and, besides, Baguio Is the most delightful place for a vacation in the entire Orient H.

When hospitals need money they enlist the support of the ministers and receive it But when sickness visits the minister or the members of his family they must be treated in a charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborers. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week about half the pay of a mechanic. We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do you contribute?
