UkewiM* the nlghtshir# will be com* the

saved the life of the first person of the

The story of the adventure and the hero

Interring The Hon Oeorge I. Mol

in hi* native state spetibinding for Mc-
Kinley. meanwhile leaving hi* office In
Washington to b* run by a clerk. Upon
the memorable day in point Meiklejohn
wm Journeying from one county to an

Meanwbli#* ihe rain wo* descending and
the water rushing In sluice*. The states
man of the buck board was wet, cold and
tird. Rut his native genius never de
serted him for one moment When the
darkn*** hecam# Cimmerian, and the
stumbling of the horse* nt and the roar of
rushing water* admonished 4 he campaign
er and his-driver that a crisis was at
hand, the Melklejohnl.m genius got in a
piece of Its finest work. A less ready and
brilliant wit would hove been over
whelmed. but Meiklejohn wasn’t even
plmswd Knowing that a light wa* the
one thing meat needed. 4 he Asolat.int Sec
retary of War art about to make one. In
his grip was a muslin nightshirt and a
hottl* of oil for hi# throat, ond in the

the nightshirt about the stock of the
whip and knotting it sacuraiy. Meiklejohn
poured the contents of Ids oil bottle
upon the fabric mop. Then quickly draw

over She only dry spot on hi* tronr rs. he
applied tha tiny flume to the nightshirt,
and had the satisfaction of seeing It burs:

The Host.
From the New York Tress
An Angel walked the battlements afar in
God s great Glory.
And beckoned in the saintly Prayers that
up the spacas cam#
Each mounted swift on vlolat wings to
bear P# snow-white story
Up ner the Throne where Mary sat
W’Mliin a tender flame.
Each holy Prayer a being was that stayed
a day in Heaven—
Idk.’ p ent I .* little children ar, so pure
and sweet were they—
-1 And each unto an Angel host, for the
sun's round was given.
To entertain and bid it speed upon Its
homeward way.
Now. one there came that had a hue of
purple and of ararlet;
Its lisping wings w©r* crimson-veined.
Its heart was beating red;
It bore th* Mark upon its brow that God
put on the harlot.
And on the radiant rarn|>art the watcher
veiled his head
.
It lay hofora th*- Vlrjtln'a Throne; her
lt form phrank un.lcr.
It folded up !:* rainbow win,* and
Mlthwi ami Itowrd u. facr;
And all tha allrnt prayar-soul* nnsod
round tn <-urimi wonder.
And marveled al tho wonderment that
mazed Iho rhlninic place.
Not ye; know F'aradlrc a (rrlf, ainra Go.I

And all the Angela were afraid and would
have wepi, hut could not
(No! knowing name of Badness, naught
knowing they of tears).
And II eohhod. above the soiur, a cry
went up In Heaven—
A cry that shrilled alonir tha bars and
wavered o'er the pit—
’’Oh. *lve to me the crimson Prayer, to
cherish till ihe even.
For I am Mary Magdalene, ye who wot
not of It!"
