Sealed with the seal of the Christ are the

Of faithful service He hath most need.
Oft times thou readest the one word "On

fortress, , • , ; ..
There coineth to thee the order,
"Stand!"
Stand and wait in the place appointed,
Though other troopers go galloping

Patiently wait, for thy Captain knoweth
That waiting shall win the day at last.

T was a very warm
Jay near the close
of August, and Vir
ginia Allen stepped
Into a corner drug
store to refresh her
self with a soda.
A woman is nev
er too warm or too
fatigued to noticj
another woman's
gown, and as \ ir
ginia waited at th'i
soda couuter h^r
•bservant eyes look
in every derail of
the charming sum
mer cosliuiie worn
by a young woman
vtho was standing at the telephone.
She was a very pretty woman and
lier dainty gown of linen, with its touch
of green ribbon here and there, became
her exceedingly, as did her hat, a mass
of sweet peas and green gauze, set well
forward on her blonde head.
Just now she was a bit out of Icinppr.
"Express 2804," she called impatiently.
And as she waited for the desired num
ber she turned and looked at Virginia,
who. quite overcome by the heat—
was it for some other reason—had seat
ed herself at no great distance off and
was wielding a palm leaf fan energeti
cally. -
The pretty woman turned abruptly
to the "phone in response to a call. "'ls
this Express 2504?" she said.
"It is Byron's number." Virginia mut
tered to herself. "I thought so."
The woman at the 'phone spoke
again:
"This Is Mr. Curtis, Is It not?" Vir
ginia ceased fanning and scarcely dis
guised the fact that the conversation
interested her. -:
"Yes, I am Miss Cleavebrook," con
tinued the woman in the linen gown.
Then. "Yes, please." ..
A short pause ensued. The drug store
cuckoo clock struck 2. Virginia ex
citedly imagined what Byron Curtia
must be saying at the othor end of the
•phone in his office, high up iu one o*
the down-town buildings, j "
MissV Cleavebrook interrupted her
thoughts. "Yes," she said, and Vir
ginia fancied perhaps that her voice
took on a more tender tone. "Same
place," she continued, with a' little
laugh. "Did you? I'm so glad. Thanks
6o much for the flowers. You really;
mustn't- send them bo : often. - it's too
extravagant of you." -ja
Virginia gave a little* start. "Theater
again this week?" questioned Miss
Cleavebrook doubtingly. "I really
think twice a week is too often." * -
But the man with whom she was
talking seemed to overcome her scru
ples, and after agreeing to go with him
on Friday evening of that week she
said: ■■• ' .... ,••.:'" o,
"Why don't you ask me why I called
you up?" Then, seeming to forget that
she was in a public place, she laughed
merrily at the response that came back
over the'phone. Finally she said: ■
"No. it wasn't that. I want very
much to see that book of 'After Dinner
Speeches' you «poke- of. Can't you
bring it to me this evening? No? Well,
to»morrow, then. What are you going
to do to-night -;J : '■■'•: ■•.'■•■■.-"/ ••'« ™
The fair questioner seemed but little
pleased at the answer she received.
She . tapped her foot impatiently, and
it -was a full minute before she spoke.
Virginia fancied she heard Byron
saying: "I am going to call' on Miss
Allen to-night." For had he not asked
j if he might come over to see her Tues
day? : , *.: .; C:: '-„-■'s
Miss Cleavebrook recovered her tem
per. if Indeed she had lost it, and said:
"I thought I told you to drop that?"
Virginia • rose : hurriedly and walked
to tne front of the store. 5/ "It is insup-;
portable," she ~ muttered to herself.
**She speaks as if she owned him
wiieft—" K ''^'Pf:i -I- ;-: ■.; • - rv;-"-;-. ~
Her thougnts overcame her as the'
memory of all that had happened be
tween her and Byron Curtis rushed. to
her mind. -
The sharp ring of the little bell re-,
called her to herself and she looked up
to see Miss Cleavebrook leave the store
and go slowly down the street with
happy smile dimpling her pretty face. |
Virginia took an Impulsive step to
ward the telephone, heedless rof 'P; the
clerk who stood behind the counter and
who began to g ze at her rather curi
ously.
"He need not come to see me," she j
thought fiercely. "He would rather be j
with her." Her voice nearly choked
her as she answered, "Express 2804," !
to the inevitable, "Number, please!"
The moments which- followed were
agony to her. Her thoughts ran wild. ;
"It was ouly last week that he told me ;
that he cared for and I —was to have
answered him to-night.* Why—why did
1 care so muchV" J^
"Hello!" sounded a man's voice over
the 'phone, and then, before she could j
speak, "Is this you again, Louise?" *!&
Virginia's face paled; then she flush- j
ed painfully. Had she been mistaken?
It had never occurred to her that an
other man could have answered to Ex
press 2504....
She made an effort to control her
voice. "I am Miss Allen. I wish to i
speak to Mr. Curtis."
"Mr. Curtis left the office, madam, at
2 o'clock. 1 am his partner, Mr. Col- j
way. Can Ido anything for you?"
"Thank you, no," replied Virginia.
Mr. Colway woudered as he hung up j
the receiver at the glad change iu the; |
girl's voice. . kf
"Miss Allen!" he soliloquized. "By
Jove! I didu't know it had gone so far.
Her voice sounded as if .she might be
pretty. If I am to believe Curtis on
the subject of the young woman's
charms, he is in great good luck, but"
I'll bet she can't touch Lou." w <y
The glad change in Virginia's voice
was noticed also by another man—
man who stood by the cigar counter
watching the girl with his whole soul in
his eyes. „
Virginia turned from the 'phone with
a happy feeling of thankfulness that
was almost a pain. The man who had
been watching her stepped quickly to
ward her.1
"Byron!" she said, with a little glad
cry, holding out both hands to him.
"Virginia," lie answered, "it is Tues
day."
"Yes," she said softly, "It Is Tues
day."
"And " questioned he.
"Yes, again," she murmured, even
lower. •
A drug store is not a very romantic
place, but I think that those* two told
each other everything In the look they
gave each other, quite unmindful of the
little clerk, who flippantly mixed an
egg phosphate for the next customer. >■■
HIS FOOLISH PRESUMPTION.
The Young Lady Tanght Him that He
Had Made a Mistake.
"No," said Evangeline Glendenning,
as she looked down at the floor and
nervously twisted, her slim little fin
gers; "no, Alfred, I am sorry, but It
cannot be."
Alfred Doocaster had loved the beau
tiful girl from the moment he had first
seen her, and he had fondly believed
that she looked upon him with more
than ordinary favor.
The strong, handsome young man
sighed, and was silent for a long time.
At last the sweet maiden said:
"Try to be brave, Alfred. Look at
me. See how lam bearing up "
He turned toward her in wonder, and
said:
"Why should you bid me do this?
What have you to bear up under?"
"Oh, Alfred, if you only knew!"
"Evangeline!" lie cried, catching her
in his arms and holding her in a strong
embrace, "you love me! Ah, darling,
you cannot hide the truth from me I
Toll me it is so!"
"Yes," she said, "I love you, Alfred."
"O heaven," he groaned, "this is ter
rible, terrible. Oh, if you only hated
me—loathed me! Then my fate would
be less bitter."
She was frightened, and drew away
from him.
"Why," she asked, "do you want me
to hate you?"
"Ah," he answered, "I might bear
my own burden, but how can I survive
knowing that you, too, suffer?"
"Yes, why should either of us suf
fer?" the trembling girl Inquired.
"Evangeline," he almost hissed, "do
not jest with me! Why should we suf

not to be "
"Oh," she Interrupted, "you're not
going to let a little bluff stop you right

Lawyers Scarce in 1820.
In the year 1820, under the authority
of the State of New York, an enumera
tion of ttie lawyers entitled to practice
at the State or local courts was made.
The regulations for admission to the
bar at the time were simple and easy
to comply with. Nevertheless' there
were found to be only three lawyers on
Staten Island, thirteen in Westchester,
sixty in Albany, and forty-five In On
ondaga. Monroe County had not then
attained the distinction which it has
had since the growA of Rochester into
a city,«*nd it had within its borders
only seventeen lawyers, while Colum
bia County, which has since given to
the bar of the State many learned ju
rists, had thirty-two, and Dutchess
County fifty-two. The people of Long
Island were even less inclined to liti
gation then than they are now, for in
the whole of Suffolk County there were
six lawyers only, fn Queens County
there were but two, and in Kings
County (it is very different now) there
were three only.
In Broome County were three law
yers, in Greene twenty-one, in Putnam
three, in Steuben twelve, and in Tloga
fourteen; but perhaps the lawyer of
that period who enjoyed what might
in these days be called an easy snap
was the one member of the New York
bar who resided in Orleans County.
After 1820 there was a large Increase
of lawyers in New York State and in
* 1834 they numbered 2,084.—New York

ELIJAH P. LOVEJOY.
THE MONUMENT TO HIS MEM
ORY AT ALTON, ILL.
flistory of This Remarkable Man's
Fight Against the Evils of Slavery -
Thrilling Events that Culminated in
His Assassination.
Died a Martyr.
Over sixty years ago, on the night of
I Nov. 7, 1837, Elijah P. Lovejoy was
! shot down in Alton, iSL, while with a
I few stanch friends he was -defending
! his printing press against the blind
! fury of a pro-slavery mob. This is the
! incident upon which was based the ap
; propriation of $25,000 by the Illinois
\ Legislature for the erection in Alton
of a monument to the memory of the
| martyr, the dedication oi. which took
| place on the recent anniversary of that
\ famous tragedy.
The man whose brief career is thus
commemorated In marble and bronze,
Elijah Parish Lovejoy, was born at
Albion, Kennebec, Me., Nov. 8, 1802.
He was the eldest of a family of nine
children, the son of a Congregational
minister. The early years of his life
were spent upon the little New En
gland farm, and were distinguished
only in his abnormal desire for knowl
edge. His spare time was always occu
pied iu study, and by his own thrift he
was enabled to enter the scphomore
class in Waterville College in 1823,
OF I.OVEJOY.
where he graduated with . onor three
years later. He then taught school a
few years, but was seized with the
mania for migration to the West, and
landed in St. Louis in 1827. Here he
began writing for the local press. His
first newspaper work was done as an
attache of the St. Louis Times, which
advocated the election of Henry Clay
to the Presidency. He had a seemingly
brilliant opening here, but during a re
igious revival that followed the elec

tion he embraced the Presbyterian
faith, and his purpose in life was sud
denly changed. lie entered the Prince
ton Theological Seminary in 1832, and
was licensed to preach a year later by
the Philadelphia iTesbytery. Return
ing, however, to St. Louis, he was as
sisted by friends in the founding of a
weekly newspaper, which he called the
St. Louis Observer. The first number
appeared Nov. 22, 1833.
The slavery question was then agi
tating the community, and it was im
possible for a man of his positive* con
victions to keep still on such a vital
subject. During the summer of 1834 he
formally announced his opposition to
the whole system of slavery, and there
bv began his troubles. His editorials
soon began to be talked about, yet they
would read as very mild utterances to
dav. They are significant also in that
they prove that Lovejoy was not an
abolitionist. He said in his own col
umns: "Gradual emancipation is the
remedy we propose. This we look up
on as the only feasible and, indeed, the
only desirable way of effecting our
freedom from the thralldor in which
we are held. In the meantime the
rights of all classes of our citizens
should be respected, and the work ; >-
posed, carried on and finished as one
in which all classes are alike interest
ed, and in which all may be called up
on to make sacrifices of Individual in
terests to the general welfare of the
community." On another occasion he
said that emancipation should be ef
fected "by the masters and no others."
He hated slavery, but appreciated the
position and feeling of the slavehold
ers, and frequently stated hat it was
a national and not a sectional evil. Yet
even this line of argument was bitter,
ly resented, and under cate of Oct. 5,
1835, a letter was sent to him by a com
mittee of St. Louis citizens command
ing that he cease talking of slavery in
his paper. He refused flatly and in an
editorial said: "The free communica
tion of thoughts and opinions is one of
the inalienable rights of man, and any
person may freely speak, write or print
on any subject, being responsible for
the abuse of that liberty." In the clos
ing paragraph he thus declared him
self: "I do, therefore, as an American
citizen and Christian patriot, in the
name of liberty, law and religion, sol
emnly protest against all these at
tempts, however and by whomsoever
made, to frown down the liberty of the
press and forbid the free expression of
opinion. Under a deep sense of my ob
ligations to my country, The church and
my God, I declare it to be my fixed pur
pose to submit to no dictation. And I
am prepared to abide by the conse
quences. I have appealed to the Con
stitution and laws of my country; if
they will fail to protect me I appeal to
my God, and with Him I cheerfully
rest my canse." This brought a re
quest for Lovejoy to resign as editor
of the Observer. He did so at once,
but the paper was in debt and the stock
was turned over to a Mr. Moore, who
replaced him in charge, and they de
cided to bring the plant to Alton. This
was reconsidered, however, and the
paper continued. In April, 1836, a ne
gro was lynched. The Observer de
nounced the lynching as a disgrace to
; the community, and when the judge
I of the local court quashed proceedings
against members of the mob, charac
terizing the act as "beyond all human
law," his action was In turn attacked
as disgraceful and demoralizing. A
few days later the Observer office was
entered and the plant ruined. The press
was not destroyed and was shipper! on
Sunday to Alton. Tbe same night it
was wrecked and dumped into the
river. A public meeting followed in
which tbe people promised to secure
another outfit for the paper. The pub-
LOVEJOT'S OFFICE.
llcatlon of the Observer was resumed
Sept. 8, 1836. It was uninterrupted
until the following August. Lovejoy
wrote without intermission on the sub
ject of slavery, and meantime contin
ued his religious work, being modera
tor of the Alton Presbytery when he
died.
The St. Louis opposition, however,
soon manifested itself there, and on
July 11, 1837, a public meeting pro
tested against the course of the paper
and appointed a committee to intercede
with Lovejoy. He received the delega
tion politely, but in cold disdain of
their mission. The trouble culminated
as usual. The plant was totally de
stroyed on the night of Aug. 21. The
same night a committee of vigilantes
waylaid Lovejoy on a lonely road and
informed him that they had decided
he was a nuisance in the community
and proposed to tar and feather and
set him adrift on the river. He lis
tened calmly, and then said: "Gentle
men, I am in your hands, with neither
the power nor the disposition to resist.
I have, however, one quest to make.
My wife Is dangerously ill and I was
on my way to town to have a prescrip
tion filled. If one of you will pledge
his word to take it and have the medi
cine prepared and deliver it at my
house without letting my wife know
what has become of me you may do
with me what you wish." There was
profound silence for a moment, and
then the leader said: "Boys, I can't
touch him. He is too brave a man."
And he was allowed to go in peace. On
Sept. 21, another press arrived. It was
destroyed the same night. Then Love
joy thought of removing either to St.
Charles, Mo., or to Quincy. But he was
not disposed to run away from trouble,
and on the advice of friends he re
mained and ordered a new press.
In anticipation of its arrival another
public meeting was held, with the ob
ject of persuading the editor to take
a new course. Then it was that he
made his dying declaration, which
rings yet as the keynote of bis life and
of American independence: "'But. gen
tlemen, as long as I am an American
citizen, and as long as American blood
runs in these veins, I shall hold myself
at liberty to speak, to write, to publish
whatever I please on any subject, be
ing amenable to the laws of my coun
try for the same." On Nov. G the fourth
press arrived and was placed in the
warehouse of Godfrey & Gilman. *i
was successfully defended that night
by a committee who tendered their ser
vices to Mayor John M. Krum as a
peace guard. On Nov. 7, they were
there again, with Lovejoy, and saw
him killed. This roll of honor is as fol

at his home in Minneapolis one year
ago. About 9 o'clock the mob sur
rounded the warehouse again. The at
tack came promptly, accompanied by
many shots. Capt. Long ordered one
shot fired in response. This killed a
man, and the mob dispersed, but re
turned later to the attack with greater
fury. An attempt was made to fire the
roof, and during a lull Lovejoy went
out to see if the blaze had taken hold.
Then five shots rang out from behind
a woodpile and Lovejoy fell dead. That
ended the trouble. The mob at once
retired and no further demonstration
was made. Love joy was buried two
days later, and by coincidence a col
ored man dug his grave and cared for
, It for yean while others knew not even
Its location. Later Thomas DlmmotTj,
a St. Louis journalist, procured a lot Id
the city cemetery, had the remains re
moved there and placed upon the grave
the present stone, a scroll oi New En
gland granite, bearing the words:
"Here lies Lovejoy. Spare him jiow
that he is buried." In August, 1885,
Mr. Dimmock transferred by deed to
the colored people of Alton all right,
title and interest in the lot and its con
tents, and they are now its legitimate
custodians. Such is the history of the
man whom the people ct Illinois have
thus commemorated in imperishable
stone. History has vindicated his work
and his principles—the essential point
of which, after all, was based not on
abolitionism, but upon the maintenance
at all hazards of the right of free
speech and the liberty of the AmericaD
press.
ANCIENTS VALUED GOLD.
Antique Mining Implements Discov-
ered Near the Red Sea.
Gold was probably the first metal ob
served and collected, because of the In
stinctive understanding of its intrinsic
value. About it superstitions grew, re
ligious and ceremonious rites and
strange crimes were committed for its
possession in the days when it was be
lieved that it was of such stuff that the
sun itself was made and the halls of
Valhalla paved. Rock paintings and
carvings of Egyptian tombs earlier
than the days of Joseph indicate thu
operation of washing auriferous sand,
and a subsequent melting in furnaces
by the aid of blow pipes. Less than
twenty years ago the old mines of
Nubia, so graphically described by
Diodorous, were rediscovered on the
shores of the Red Sea, together with a
line of ancient wells across the desert;
the underground workings where ore
veins had been followed with the pick,
the rude cupelling furnaces for assay
ing, picks, oil lamps, stone mills, mor
tars and pestles, inclined warming ta
bles of stone, crucibles and retorting
furnaces of burned tile, by which the
entire process could be traced.
Here slaves and hapless prisoners
of war exchanged their lif§ blood for
glittering dust to fill the tresysjiries oX
their captors. In India anu Asia
Minor the powdered ore was washed
down over smooth, sloping rocks and
gold caught in the fleeces of sheepskins
sunk in the stream. It was literally
a golden fleece that Jason brought
back from the Caucasus. Further
north and following the eastern foot
hills of Mount Ararat to the southern
slope of the Ural mountains in Rus
sian Siberia, "where last year millions
were taken out of the old mines, the
ancient Scythians broke up rock and
gravel with copper implements, scrap
ed out the glittering dust and nuggets
with the fangs of wild boars, and car
ried their gain away in bags of leather.
All through this region miners of to
day know that one of the chief dangers
to be avoided are the Scythian pits,
fcixty feet deep in the gravel, and
shaped like a well. The remains of
thousands of small furnaces of burn
ed clay testify to the long period over
which the workings of the miues ex
tended. —Modern Machinery.
AMAZING ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Whirled Around a ' haft Nearly Ten
Thousand Times.
Nine thousand three hundred and
seventy-five times did Engineer James
L. Grander, in a mine at Bourne, Ohio,
revolve rapidly in a fly wheel. It was
a twenty-foot wheel, making 125 revo
lutions every minute, and the unfor
tunate man was in its coils for an
hour and a quarter. It was while he
was at work in the mine that he tell

full speed at the time. It continued to
whirl. There was no one at hand who
witnessed the accident, and conse
quently no effort was made to stop the
whirling of the wheel. The man mer
cifully lost consciousness almost im-
mediately. In the course of about an
hour some one discovered Grander" s
plight and the wheel was stopped as
soon as possible. He was not seriously
hurt.
Victoria's Favorite Pee.
Soon after the birth of the Prince of
Wales, Victoria's picture dandling the
infant heir to the throne on her knees
was displayed in shop windows
throughout the land. It was received
with enthusiasm. Something of the
niotherliness of this royal woman
touched the hearts of her people and
Victoria, quick to see the hold that it
gave her upon them, has maintained
the practice of presenting them at
regular Intervals with a photograph of
herself dandling something in the
shape of a descendant upon her knees.
First her own children, then her grand
children, and later still her great
grandchildren all have served as ties
to bind her more closely to her sub
jects.
