I COULD not Imagine whnt In the world was going on at St. James's Church, Twenty-second and Walnut streets, yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock, for I knew there was no service at that hour, und jet suddenly some twenty to twenty-live people In very hmart clothes came pour ing out of tho church, and then I saw u decided majority of Ueales among them and knew I had como upon the christen ing party of young Oliver Eaton Crom well, Jr., for there wero the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ned lieale, and aunts and uncles, and none other than Cordelia BIddl6 Duke, who was the godmother of this Interesting wee baby boy. As for the godfathers, Jimmy Cromwell and ,Pralt Illrd, of Now York, they certainly were gotten up regardless In cutaways and top hats. I was attracted by hearing Mrs. Duke remark to Mrs. Cromwell, "You're tho mother," which statement seemed to settle whatever was under dis cussion. Altogether, It was a very happy party which met for the express purpose of making young Cromwell a Christian. My best wishes to tho littlo man and his parents. t WELL, you neer can tell, but honest to goodness, If the small girl of whom I speak does not come down to earth foon I woruier If her future husband will have to do tho housekeeping and other prac tical things when they are married. Jler engagement was announced two months or more ago, but she Just can't touch arth yet; so you will see perfectly well how It all happened. She nnd several friends were riding up Walnut street on a rainy day last week, and as tho car ap proached Twentieth street they aroso to leave. But as they reached the door one girl said to the little fiancee, "And when does he come on next?" Good night, my ' dears! What do you think tho up-ln-the-air lady did? She forgot she was to get out and straightway started to tell when He was coming on; but somewhere In her Inner consciousness there was tho ,ldea that It was raining. So as she talked she raised her umbrella right then nnd there In the car over her head. Fortunately the conductor and motorman must onco have been In love themselves, for they waited patiently until she put the um brella down and descended to the street amid screams of laughter from the pas engers and her friends. I hopo sho does not come back to earth with an unneces ary thud, don't you? NANCY WYNNE.

Then they returned, nnd with a fine appearance of Indlfferenco de manded an Immedlato answer to their chal- "Can you not guess It?" answered Harut Then changing his tone ho drew himself to his full height and thundered out at them: "Oet you back to your evil spirit of a god that hides In tho shape of a beast of the forest and to his slave who calls him self a king, and say to them: 'Thus speaks the Child to his rebellious servants, the Black Kendah dogs; Swim my river when you can, which will not be yet, and come up against me when you will: for when ever you come I shall be ready for you. You are already dead, O Jana. You are already dead, O Slmba the slave. You are scattered and lost, O doga of the Black Kendah, and the home of such of you as remain shall be far away In a barren land, where you must dig deep for water nnd live upon tho wild game because there 'little corn will grow.' Now begone, nnd swiftly, lest you stop here for ever," So they turned and went, leaving me full of admiration at the hlstrlonlo powers of Harut. . , That very evening we began'our prepara. tlons to meet an attack which was now Inevitable.

In all they did not number more than nbuut wo thousand men between tho ages of twenty nnd twentv-rive, or. Including lads between fourteen and twenty ami old men still able-bodied between flftv-tlve and sev enty, sav two thousand seven hundred calla ble of some sort of maitlal service To these mightlbe added something under two thou sand women, since among this dwindling folk, oddlv nough from causes that I never nscel tallied, the males outnumbered the females, which accounted for their mar nage customs, that were, by comparison with those of most African peoples, monoga mous At nnv late only the I Ich among them had more than one wife, while the poor or otherwise Ineligible often had none at all. slnio Intel niai rl.igu with other races and above all .with the Wads Kendah dwelling bevond tho ilvir was so strictly taboo that It wns punishable with death or expulsion. Against this little band the Black Kendah e mid bring up twent thousand men, be sides boys nnd aged poisons who, with their women, would pinhnhlv be left to defend their own cotintr . that Is, -not less than ten to one Moreover, nil of these enemies would be fighting with the courage of de spair, since quite three-fourths of their coips, with manv of their cattle nnd sheep, had been destioed by the tei rifle hail-burst that I have described Theiefore, since no other corn was available In the surrounding land, where they dwelt alone encircled by deserts, either they must capture that of tho White Kendah or suffer terribly from starvation until a e.ir later, when another haivest ripened .Vow It will be remembered that on tho "HASTY CONSUMPTION" W m WhStl'' Copjrwht l.if Publishing Cumpanv. chanco of the r proving useful. Uagnall, In addition to our own sporting arms, had brought with him to Africa fifty Snider rifles with an ample supply of ammunition, tho samo that I had trouble In passing through the customs nt Imiban. all of which had arrived safely nt tho Town of tho Child Clearly mir first duty was to make the best possible use of this Invaluable stote. To tint end 1 asked Harut to select seventy-five of tho boldest nnd most In telligent young men among his people, and to hand them over to mo and Hans for In btructlon in musketry. Wo had only fifty rifles but I drilled Beventy-flve men. or fifty per cent more, that somo might be ready to replace any who fell Krom dawn to dark each iy Hans and I worked at trying to convert these Kendah into sharpshooters. It wns no easy task with men, however willing, who till then had never held a gun, especially as I must bo very sparing of tho ammunition neces sary to practice, of which of courso our supply was limited. Still we taught them how to take cover, how to fire nnd to cease from firing at the word of command, also to hold the rifles low and wasto no shot. To make marksmen of them was more man I could hope to do under the circumstances. With the exception of theso men nenrly the entire male population was working day and night to get In the harvest, This proved a very difficult business, both be cause some of the crops were scarcely fit and because all the grain had to be carried on camels to be stored In and at the back of the second court of tho temple, the only place where It was likely to be safe. In deed In the end a great deal was left un. I reaped. Then the herds of cattle and breed- ! . .d ..n na .1. ...Villi, Cm.A.1 f... .1.A M. . 11- uk vttiucin .... b...vu vi, ma luriner stde of the Holy Mount must be brought Into places of safety, glens In the, forest on Its slope, and forage stacked to feed them. Also It was neooasary to provide scouts to keep watch along tho banks of the river. Lastly, the fortifications In the mountain pass required unceasing labor and atten tion. This was the task of Itagnall. who fortunately In his youth', before he suc ceeded unexpectedly to the title, was for J wm wvWftvyM yyyy' ' ' FEBRUARY 19; 1917 that business. Indeed he understood It rather too well, since the result of his somewhat complicated nnd scientific scheme of defenso was a little confusing to the Blmplo native mind, However, with thai assistance of the priests nnd of all the women and children who wern not engaged In provisioning the Mount, he built wall after wall and redoubt nfter redoubt, If that Is the rinht word, to say nothing of the shelter trenches he dug and many pitfalls, furnished nt the bottom with sharp stakes, which ho hollowed out wherever the soil could bo easily moved, to. discomfit a charging enemy. Indeed, when I saw the amount of work ho had concluded In ten days, which was not until I Joined him on the mountain, I was quite astonished About this tlmo n dlsputo arose ns to vvhethtr we sh";ild attempt to prevent tho Black Kendah from crossing tho river, winch was now tunning down, n plan that soma of the cldeis favored. At lat the con tioversv was roferted to tne as bend general nnd I decided ag.ilnt-t anything of the sort. It seemed t me that our force was ton small nnd that If I took tho riflemen a great deal f ammunition might bo ex pended with poor result Also In the event of nnv ievrso or when we wero flntlly driven back which must happen, there miRhi be ilUlldiftv about remounting tho camels our onlv means of rsciip' from tho horsemen who would possibly gallop us down Moieover the Tnvii had several fords am one of which m gl'.t be selected hv the fnemv So It wnn arranged that we should make our first and last stand upon the llnlv Mount n the fouiteenth night from new moon i-ir swift camel scouts who were pasted In icavs between tho Tava and the Mount ported that the lllni Ii Kendah were gntheieil In thousands I'pnn the further tide of the ilver where tin .v wite engaged in elchfatina magical ceicmr nus On the llfieenth night the scoips irpurtcd that thev . wero crossing the rivet, nnout rni noise- i i men nnd innim foot soldiers, and that nt I the Mead of them marched the huge god- elephant .lan.i. on which mile Slmha ttio ' King and n lame priest (evidently til friend whose fmt had been Injured lv the pistol), who in ted as a mahout.

(CONTINIT.II TOMOBItOW) HILLY NU.MI'US'S THOUGHTS Hy Farmer Smith Smt Splash ! Billy Bumpus, the Coat, stood by tho window watching the rain drops glide down tho window pane Hvery minute or s-j, ho would laugh softly to himself Ho thought Mis Bumpus did not see him. but she was watching him out of tho corner of her eye. When lur curiosity could not stand It any longer, sho said- "Whit are you laughing nt?" Billy was so surprised that ho turned suddenly and said "I was laughing at my own thoughts " Then ho became very sober nnd turned once more to look out ul the window. Spat Splash ! A tiny rain drop came down the window pine. Joined another drop nnd fell on the ledgo. Hilly smiled ngaln. What are ou laughing nt?" asked his wlfn for tho second time. "I was Just thinking whnt a good dinner would be waiting for mo" replied Billy, stroking his (to him) beautiful whiskers "But what has tho rain to do with your dinner?" nsked Mrs Bumpus, who was always Interested In Billy's appetite, which she considered the biggest pirt of him. "I'm going to hav'e brickbats for dinner." and Billy turned nnd smiled nt his wife. "I haven't any brickbats for you,' re plied Mrs. Bumpus wonderingly, looking In the refrigerator, thinking perhaps her hus band had put somo on loo vvhllo she wasn't looking "I know you haven't.'' said Billy, "but thero are lots and lots of bricks down where they aro building tho skating rink. I know, for I bit a piece of one the other day and it was very, -very tough " Mrs Bumpus took off her apron as sho replied, "It must be very tough, If YOU couldn't eat It. What has the rain got to do with tough brickbats?" "Just listen to me. Suppose you reason It out this way bricks, rain, rain, bricks see?" ' "Oh! I see. It Is going to rain bricks. The bricks falling on the ground makes them soft," said Mrs. Bumputt. "No, my dear, you do ndt think clearly. Tho rain makes the bricks soft. I like the taste of tho brick, but It hi too much trouble to chew It. I said It was tough." "That's Just like you. You do not want o take the trouble to do anything. It would be a good Idea for me not to want to take the trouble to cook tin can soup for you or boll shingle nails. Then I wouldn't havo to work so hard," said Mrs. Bumpus, turning up her nose. "But my dear, you do that because you love me, while 1 eat bricks " ' ""Becauso you love your own stomach," interrupted Mrs. wumpus, Farmer Smith's Column , again. The rain had stopped and the aun had come out. "If you love ME, bring home ono of those soft bricks," said Mrs. Rumpus, helping Billy on with his coat Billy Rumpus trotted off In tho direction of the skating rlok, little thinking how long It would be beforo ho ale any of the bricks. KNOWING WHAT TO DO . Dearest Children What book was It that told of n little boy who swallowed a penny? You remember his sister sent for the doctor, who came, turned tho little boy upside down and shook him vvhllo the penny rolled out f his mouth. I was reminded of It the other day when my electric light would not work. I ent for tho electrician, and nit he did was to push In a dear littlo button and presto, I had my light, lie fixed It later so that I could work It myself It Is from these littlo things In llfo that vv'o learn the most I did not Know how to push that little button, nnd, besides. I am a bit cautious when It comes to expert iteming with live electric vvlies. t In our lessons at school you sometimes wonder bow some children get nlong so easily PerhaiM It Is becauso they know what to do. Call John, or some other boy. HE is the fellow who knows how to do it When all went well with my electric button. I knew what to do. but when there was trouble, I had to call some one who knew whnt to do Years ago when I was a boy tho cap tain of a vessel used to let mo steer tho big monster when wo were out of sight of land but when we were rearing port I wns lel'eved of my pleasant duty. Think of steeling n big boat by in self! But If something happened, I would not know what to do. We tide nlong In -ft trolley ear nnd all Is lovely until something happens Then the motorman nnd conductor know what to no nt least, they should know it seems to us thai the conductor of a train has littlo to dr.. 01 that the captain of an ocean liner has very littlo to keep him busy, but let theie lie trouble nnd then they must know what to do That Is why this class of men get largo salaries simply for know Ing what to do Try for one da to sio bow many things YOU KNOW HOW TO DO which no one else cm do It will help you in nfter life, I am sure.
