In his country, too, he said, there is a general awakening in revival meetings. He told of the revival meetings in Sanbury.

GREAT GOD PAN By KEITH GORDON Trenham arrived at Cantlco at 1:80. At 'J Norton's silent, efficient serving man was formally Introducing him to the Hutch — his for a month — u aqnat, oriental looking building standing in the tempered shade of the pines and larches and containing all those touches of home comfort usually ascribed to feminine hands, but found in the mod eru bachelor quarters. At 2:80, his tweed suit changed for a more informal costume, he emerged from the low, broad doorway, stirred by a pagan desire to gel closer still to nature, out Into the dim. clolsterai places of the woods, where he might float dellciously upon ti «ea of silence, whose calm was unbroken save by the ripple of a bird note or the snapping of a jwlg. "1 say. this is great!" burst from his lips luxuriously as he drew in long whiffs of the suave air with its warm, elusive stent of sweet growing things "This is life. This is what man was meant for." As he ceased speaking he lifted tiis face to the soft biveze that caressed hU cheek like :i spiriftinnd and thought unflattering things of civilization. What after nil did ibis boasted condition mean? What but crowded cities with stone where turf should be, the roar of trains, shrieking of whistles, whizzing of autos. clattering of hoofs and the grind, grind, grind of office life. As he thought of it now. looking as he was straight Into nature'* smiling, inscruta ble face, il all seemed supremely ridic ulous. Fauns and satyrs, hamadryads and naiads had been wiser. At the end of an hours walk he found that the path ended abruptly at a grassy knoll. For a few moments Trenham gazed with an appreciation too deep for words. Then, with a sigh of contentment, he snnk down upon the thick grass and stretched himself out, his head resting In the hollow of his clasped hands, his eyes narrowed to slits like gatekeepers who would say to the beauties about them. "One at a time, please." And presently the silts became nar rower and narrower. "Spring." lie miiriuum! musingly. "Is Just bursting into young summerhood." Then his lips twitched slightly, and be tried again. "That apple tree looks like Home sweet, sedate Quaker lady." lie stretched his eyes open wide, as if to fling off some Irresistible Influ ence. "Good Lord, nin 1 a poet after all?" he demanded comically of the shad owj* self that always attends us, but never so palpably as In solitudes. And then he smiled and lay staring up into the great arch of the blue al>ove him. Again the slits grew narrow, almost Imperceptible. A line from a poem learmsl in youth trailed across his mind. "Great Pan is dead." "It's a lie." he murmured drowsily. "Great Pan is not dead Great Pan"— The murmur ended In a knowing smile, the smile of one who has learned for a certainty what fools most mortals be, and that in turn faded into gravity. Trenham slept. #•••••• "It's a regular sleeping beauty of a place—has a breathless, charmed air, as if it were under a spell. I believe there are fairie-i or to be dls covered " Po had Notice I>uke written to a friend soon after coming to Onntlco for the summer There were few houses In the region a half dozen within twenty miles and her tirst im pression of the country was only deep ened by her long, solitary strolls. She had a mystical feeling that there was something to be discovered—some se cret that she was forever on the verge of. Godling. gnome or fairy, she fancied, might rise in her path at any moment without causing hei any surprise, and so It was without dismay that she stopped short at the edge of the wood one day upon finding her favorite spot already occupied. For the fraction of a second she half believed Then she wholly disbelieved. No godlings would appear in tan ox fords. .Sandals were the utmost one could concede! Still, as a mortal the sleeping youth before her was worth consideration. A glance told her that, and she cautiously draw u step uearer lie lay so that the spreading branch of a tree shaded his face, his soft linen hat tossed on the grass beside him, thus revealing the thick dark hair that look ed as If It might have curled had not its owner sternly refust-d to liear of such a thing Ills features reminded her strangely of certain marbles she had seen, they were so massive, yet so finished, and with girlish attention to dress she bestowed an approving glance on his white negligee shirt, the sleeves rolled up to the elbow, and the duck trousers to match. If he was u<H a godling he was at least n most at tractive mortal. Daringly she stood and gar.ed at him. tingling with the fear that he might awaken, yet too Interested to turu away. The blue of her eyes was match ed by the color of the linen gown sh« wore Around her neck a dandelion chain dangled like a cable of rich gold With a sudden movement she lifted the latter, breaking off a part of it and fastening It Into a wreath. Again she hesitated Then, with her underllp held between her teeth in a way that showed two very merry dimples, she took a letter from her dress hurriedly extracted a tiny pencil from the enr«i ope, scrawled something on an unused sheet and tore it off. Almost holding her breath, she tlptoefl nearer. He was sleeping very heavily The scrap of paper she had twistod In to the wreath At last *he stood with in an arm's length of his head. She listened excitedly. I>nt the long, even breaths reassured her Slowly she bent over; lower and low er the wreath descended until it rested pn the crisp dark hair With the brae ed air of a person who feels that he is likely to be "hot at any moment she ttralghtened up and waited, ImiC he did pot move.

Trenham woke from a slumber so deep that his very Identity was lost. Long, lazy shadows darkened the sward about him. Who--what—where Something pressed upon his forehead, and Instinctively his hand went lip, his fingers groping eagurly for some mean lug In the soft, damp mass that met their touch. Then they closed upon the object and brought It around where his eyes could help. He stared at it lu sileuee for a mo ment. "Crowned, by Jove!" wus his dazed exclamation when he at last found speech. The scrap of paper caught his eye, aud he detached It, smoothed It out aud looked at It with absorbed cu riosity. "I salute the**, great Pan," was scrib bled thereon In a girlish hand. And at the words a light dawned upon him. Who was she, aud what was she like? How strange that she, too, should have been thrilled with the same weird sense of the nearness of pagan gods! The dandelions were curling up like tired children, but Trenham carried the wreath home as carefully as If It had been of the flowers of Bden, and he smoked many pipes that night In the soft gloom of Norton's roomy porch, wondering how and when and where they would meet and whether her eyee were blue or gray and whether she was tall or short, dark or fair, his lady of dreams. Afterward he plumed himself upon having nwognlzed her Instantly, though If the truth were known It required no great perspicuity. Asked to dinner by the Stantons the nearest neighbors, though three miles away—he had ac cepted on the chance of getting some clew to the young lady. And he did. At the sight of him the only other guest, a young woman with the bluest of eyes, gave a startled but pleased look that flashed Into her eyes and out again so quickly that he would scarce have been sure save for the slight flush that backed up his theory. Later on It transpired that she was the one girl In the neighborhood, and ma trons, Trenham shrewdly argued, would scarcely be up to such pranks or even tblnklog of the great god Pan. For the rest there are people who are still scandalized when they ;emcmber the queerness of the Trenham-Dtike wedding. It took place In sylvan style 4 J"ear later on the knoll overlooking the river, and the bride wore—can you believe It? -a wreatb of dandelions. A PopaUr During the famous Fenian raids In the seventies of the last century Colo nel Albert Clarke of Boston went to the Fenian camp near the Canadian border. The camp of the Canadian troops was but a short distance away. One day Clarke, wearing a light col ored stovepipe hat, was strolling along through the fields a mile or so from camp Suddenly the report of a rifle rang out, and his hat fell to the ground. Clarke picked it up and jammed It down more tightly over his head. An other report sounded In the opposite di rection, and Clarke then realized that his hat was the cause of the firing He started to run and the bullets began to fly thicker and faster. When, after a hard run, he reached a piece of woods that afforded shelter lie looked at his new tile, and to his dismay It was a total wreck There were all of twenty bullet holes tn it. but not one struck its owner The sharpshooters of both the oppos ing forces bad been amusing them selves at the expense of the editor's headgear —St. l.ouls Republic Defended Ilia Th»ologf.

SWEET || Copyright, 1904, b) frank ti. Sweet May Allyn stepped from the eleva tor with a bit of lace in her bund. Shu Walked through the rotunda, looking • to right and left among the massive! pillars and drooping palms. There were few persons in sight. Most of the guests were over on the beach, for it was the bathing hour. May went nearly across the rotunda before she found the object of her search a wom an in a retired corner reading a novel. "Here you are, mamma," she ex claimed rebukiugly, "and reading that novel, as I might have expected. Don't you know the characters lu It would stay exactly where you leave them if you should close the book for a few hours, and this glorious weather out side Is something of the present. But see here," holding up the lace for in spection, "do you think this will do?" "For what?" "Oh, you know, mamma! I'm to be Betty the maid in the play we're get- j ting up and am to have the white J badge of servitude on my head and! wear a white apron and carry a broom j or something. I've told it all over j before, only your head's in that book. Do please shut It." The older woman obeyed, with a sigh,j aud took the bit of fleecy lace betweeu her fingers. "No, It won't do at all. May," she said Instantly, a ripple of amusement breaking the dreamy quiet of her face.! "It wouldn't be appropriate." "But why?" with au air of disap- j polntuieut. "It Is so pretty." "Yes. and costly. Child, child, don't you know that bit of lace is worth as much as Betty the maid could earn in five years. You must have something cheap to be in character." "I don't believe I have anything." "No, 1 suppose not. You will have to try at one of the stores. You will ueed" — Mrs Allyn's gaze went In quiringly about the rotunda until It found one of the hotel maids dusting a plant. She waited until she caught the girl's eye, then raised a finger. "I beg your pardon, my dear," she said as the girl approached, "but my daughter here Is to be In the church ' "MIALF. ALLYN, EES IT POSSAIUJLE!"

"This is exactly what you want, j May," went on Mrs. Allyn, holding it up critically. "You"— But May had snatched the little cap from the upraised fingers and placed it upon her own fluffy brown hair. "Now, let me have your apron a ' minute, please," she cried merrily. "Thank you," as the girl complied, and she fastened the apron to her waist with deft fingers. "And now the dust-1 lag brush. There, mamma, how will this do?" with a flourish of the brush and a sweeping courtesy. The girl laughed, and even Mrs. Al lyn smiled indulgently as May danced away toward the middle of the rotun da, flirting the brush indiscriminately over jardinieres and palm leaves as she passed. Soon pillars and palms in tervened and concealed her from their view. Count i'Ortegan and n young Amer ican sculptor were Just entering tho rotunda. They had known each other in Paris and met again on the steamer coming over, and now they had come to Gray Harbor together, not because they hud mud) in common, but they were acquainted, and all the people around were strangers. May did not notice them until they stopped beside her, with exclamations of astonishment and pleasure. "Mile. Allyn, ees It possarble!" cried the count rapturously. "Eet Is In Paris that you vanish this three mont', and we nevaire know to where. Some say to Ital'ee and some that you Ily back to heaven where they keep ze angels. But eet is heaven that you make anywhere. Now I know why the place here seem so beautiful — eet Is the angel." May laughed and gave hitu her hand. "Thank you, count," she said, "I am glad to see yon also. You are sure to like it here even without the angel. And you, too, Mr. l'cthuue," offering her hand to the sculptor. "Can you not make a pretty speech like the fount?" "I am afraid not," smiling down at tier. "Only that I am very, very glad to lintl you here, Mis- Allyn.

The motion caught the count's attention, and with wondering consternation his eyes went from ll to her white apron and to the badge of servitude upon her head, and his sloping shoulders stiffened suddenly into protesting reserve. "Pardonnez," lie rebuked, "but eet Is so hurry 1 am now. I will see. M. Bethune will tell you we have not reegister yet. I will do eet now." May watched him hurry away with an odd look of Inquiry lu her eyes. "What's the matter with the count?" she asked innocently. "Has he for gotten something?" Bethune laughed Joyously. A mo ment before there had been both re serve and repression in his eyes; now they were suddenly eager, glowing, de termined. "The count's an odd sort of stick," he answered, "and his visit here Is confessedly in search of a rich Ameri can wife." He raised his hand significantly to ward her head, but for H moment she looked puzzled, then a quick, compre hending flush rose to her face. "Oh, that!" she said thoughtfully. "And you?" Bethune laughed again. He could not help it. "Can't you see, Miss Allyn?" he de manded. "I fancied it was sticking out all over me. Over yonder I was a poor devil of an artist and you a rich heiress, and now—oh, May!" There was the soft rustle of silk moving across the carpet. May raised her flnger. "Mamma is coming!" she warned. "I don't care," Impetuously. "I've got to speak now. I can't wait an other day. Where can I see you alone?" She hesitated, then appeared to con sider. "The maids and nurses usually walk on the beach at about 3 o'clock," she said demurely. "I expect I shall be there." At 4 o'clock two wheel chairs swept leisurely down the bicycle avenue and on pust the Breakers toward the beach. It was the hour for Mrs. Allyn's dully outing, and she preferred to take It in a wheel chair and leisurely. The oc cupant of the other clialr was Count l'Ortegan, and from the satisfaction on his face he had evidently discovered the mistake. As they turned toward the beach path they saw two figures approaching them only a few yards away. "There's May now!" exclaimed Mrs. Allyn. "Suppose we wait a few min utes and speak with her." The count's face grew eager, and words of an elaborate apology began to form In his mind, but as the figures drew near and he saw the expression on their faces as they looked at each other the apology died away and a Parisian oath, muttered under his breath, took its place. He merely bowed politely and then waited for Mrs. Allyn to give the signal togo on. Haalr Ob»ervatloni». Some years ago an authoress of con siderable note was entering a place of public entertainment when the sound of her own name uttered by a group Just In front of her attracted her at tention, and she discovered that a gen tleman In the company of several la dles was pointing out unother lady at some distance to his companions as herself. "Oh, dear, she's not at all pretty!" said one of the ladies, putting up her opera glass. "Quito vulgar looking," said another, adustlng hers to a better focus. "So dreadfully masculine," added a I third. "Any one might guess she was 1 a bluestocking. I pity her husband, I | declare.' "She is masculine," said the gentle man complacently, pleased to have In -1 terested his companions. "You can see that even from here. But you can't appreciate her ugliness without seeing her full fa*-e. She has a most ap palling squint."
