The fifty-firth annual convention
of the Southern Baptist Church met
In Baltimore May 11th. thia being
the fourth time Baltimore has en
tortalned . the Baptists in annual
convention.
There was much intereat in the
reporta of the two great mission
boards. Some months ago the for
len mission board received an "of
fer from a friend which caused
great deal of Interest. This friend
proposed to pay all of the out-fitting
expenses and the first year's
salary of twenty missionaries to the
foreign field if the foreign mission
board would close the convention
year without debt, which meant
more than $20,000 to the board. A
strenuous effort was made to se
cure this offer, but with sadness the
offer was lost by having to report
an indebtedness of 150.000.
The home mission board of At
lanta brought Joy to the convention
with the news that it had closed the
year with all bills paid and and
small balance in the treasury.
The receipts for the year were
In advance of last year, about $50,
COO having been raised.
The Southern Baptist Convention
has as its territory the Southern
States. The basis of representation
la both financial and numerical. For
every $250 contributed to the
boards of the convention a delegate
may be appointed. Each district as
sociation In the territory has a
right to a delegate. The "conven
tion is advisory and missionary
rather than legislative. The objects
of the convention are: "To organ
ize a plan for eliciting, combining
and directln the energies of the de
nomination for the propagation of
the gospel."
The sessions of the convention are
occupied with the discussion of the
three boards, and the Southern Bap
tist Theological Seminary, located
at Louisville, Ky. These three
boards are; the foreign mission
board at Richmond, the home mis
sion board at Atlanta and the Sun
day school board at Nashville, Tenn.
All the important matters in re
gard to these boards are referred to
committees. The convention also
makes nominations to fill vacancies
1 n the board of trustees of the Theo
logical Seminary. The home board
covers the field of the Southern
States, Cuba and Panama. There
are within the bounds of the South
ern Baptist Convention 821 dis
trict associations, 21,887 churches
and 2.139.0S0 church members. Last
year 146,717 persona were baptized
Into the fellowship of these church
es. The first day's session opened
with about 1,200 delegates repre
senting fourteen States. The con
vention organized by electing Josh
ua Levering president, former Lieu
tenant Governor William Ellyson
of Virginia. Hon. J. J. Darlington
or tne District of Columbia, S. P
Brooks, president of Baylor Univer
eity, Texas, and James Hardeman
of South Carolina, vice presidents
ana re-electing Rev. Dr. Lansing
Burrows, of Americus, Ga.. and Rev,
Dr. O. F. Gregory, of Staunton, Va.
secretaries, and George V. Norton
or juouisviiie, Ky., treasurer. The
address of welcome was delivered
by R. H. Edmonds, of the city. The
reports of the work showed increas
es. The foreign board wishes $700,
000 with which to occupy Manchuria
as well as hold possession of other
fields.
The first night session was pre
Bided over by Vice President Elly
son. The Laymen's Missionary
Movement was reported by Prof. J
F. Hendeson, its secretary. A mis
sionary committee from each church
and weekly contributions were earn
estly recommended. E. Y. Mullins,
president of the Baptist Theologi
cal Seminary, announced that $488,
COO of the proposed endowment
fund had been raised and that the
1700,000 desired would be complet
ed in the near future. He also gave
expression of a desire on the part
of the trustees to move the Semina
ry to a more desirable location In
Louisville.
m. a
a lie convention sermon was
preached by Rev. L. V. Pickard, of
Savannah, Ga. Dr. Burrows re
ported that there was a general In
crease during the past year of
9114,000 for the home and foreign
mission boards. The foreign mis
sion work and the T. M. C. A. was
discussed by Rev. Dr. E. C. Dargan,
of Macan, Ga.
An appeal from the Northern
Baptists asking aid In taking care of
the negroes created quite a stir in
the convention. The matter was" re
ferred to a committee. The com-

CHAPTER XII.
M
R. DEVINB took the path to
ward the stables, chuckling
softly at the odd dilemma In
which he found himself.
"If ever I needed the help of a slick
lawyer, I guess If s now," mused Mr.
Devlne. "I'll go to town and look up
Bob Driscol."
Mr. Hewington was content that
Count Veccbl was no longer a menac
ing figure to him and to bis daughter.
Mr. Devlne was seeing , to that Be
sides, there were more cheerful things
to occupy Mr. Hewlngton's mind. He
bad learned only a half hour before of
some very good news. Hewington
Acres was no longer owned, even tem
porarily, by another. In some way or
other the estate had been restored In
tact to bis daughter. Hs had not
grasped the details of this fortunate
transaction, but be understood vague
ly that young Mr. Walloway bad been
largely Instrumental la clearing tin
the difficulty. Adele had mentioned
him. He was an excellent younc man.
Nicholas Walloway. True, his famllr
was not of precolonlal origin, but it
was well enough established
as fun- I
Hies went nowadays. And hs was so
distinctly superior to such young men
as this Chcrnb Devlne, who had his !
good traits doubtless, but who was so i
lacking b ths finer Instincts, It might
be wtU to talk the subject over with
Adele.
He could .have found no topic better
suited to the mood in wbkh be found
the counters that evening, ner brown
eye, seemed to glow with a rapt ra
diance at the first mention of the Cher
ub's name.
"' -What Bblrduotlou-we'titor hare
of him a few days ago!" she observed.
ner father' wared his glasses In
mlkl protest
."We took only reasonable precaution.
my dear.
-Against what daddy He didn't
become Intoxicated: be didn't carouse;
be didn't fill the house with sporting
characters. Tou remember how you
stormed when you heard about bis
party r
! admit being somewbat concerned
upon your account. Adele. I feared
that his guests might be"
"Yes; 1 know. 1 was looking for a
crowd of prizefighters and gamblers,
and the YValloways came with Bishop
Horton! How silly I felt!" she ex
claimed.
"But be Is crude very crude In man
ners, bearing, speech, especially in
his speech. Now, compare him with
Nicholas Walloway. Nicholas Is a
well born, polished, refined"
"Blockhead." broke In the countess.
"He's wooden all over.
"My dear, my dear! Nicholas, you
must remember. Is a gentleman!"
"So 1 have always believed." replied
the countess. "But I don't care. I
prefer a live man to a wooden gentle
man!"
Mr. Hewington bad boped, now
there was no longer necessity for
Adele to propitiate this person, that
she would politely but effectually put
an end to their brief friendship. In
bis own tactful way Mr. Hewington
stated as much.
"Then you should be thoroughly sat
isfled." responded the countess, "for
soon after he had given us back our
home I sent him away forever.'
"What! Forever! No, no. Adele;
that will not do at alL Tou must not
be so abrupt The fact Is that 1 er
there is a little matter in which Mr.
Devlne has undertaken to give me as
sistance.'
Daddy! Tou haven't borrowed any
money from him. 1 hope?'
1? Borrow money of him! Cer
tainly not It is quite a different af
fair."
Mr. Hewington clearly saw that the
time bad come for him to employ that
superior mind of his in the skillful
management of a daughter who was
at times presumptuous enough to form
opinions of her own. And what a
shrewd old gentleman be was, to be
sure! How well he understood the
limitations of feminine mentality!
"For example." he went on, "you
have never seen bow this paragon of
yours can deal with a rlvaL" '
"Oh. a competitor in business!"
laughed the countess. "I shouldn't
expect him to be generous in busi
ness."
"In the Instance I had In mind."
suavely continued Mr. Hewington
twlfllng his glasses slowly, "he was
not dealing witn a business competitor.
I believe 1 said rlvaL"
Tou don't mean a a"
Exactly. A man who stood in his
way in what I presume Mr. Devlne
chooses to regard as an affair of the
heart."
Why why, I don't understand, dad
dy! What man can you possibly
mean?"
Now, now. my dear! There you go.
wanting to be told things which you
probably could not understand and
whlch"-
"But I can. I do. Tell me at once.
Was it Nicholas Walloway?"
Mr. Hewington waved his glasses
most Impatiently.
Most assuredly not What a strange
conception that Nicholas and Mr. De
vine should be rivals In love! No,
quite a different person. And what
does Mr. Devlne do when be meets
him and learns his identity? Seizes
him forcibly, drags him Into the near
est building and locks him up without
law or license."
"Father, I can't believe such a story.
Where did you hear such a preposter
ous tale?"
From Mr. Devlne himself."
But how? Where did all this oc
cur?'
"Only this afternoon."
"Since be was here? But you have
not been away. Then then It was
here on our grounds. Do you mean to
say that Mr. Devlne has some one
locked up in one of our buildings?"
Mr. Hewington could only take ref
uge behind bis dignity.
"That is quite sufficient my dear.
We will not discuss Mr. Devlne and
his peculiar doings any further, if you
please. The subject Is one upon which
I do not care to dwell Just now. I
must go to my desk. Good night"
It Is hardly fair, though, to specu
late as to the Innermost thoughts of
the Countess Vecchi st that trying
moment We know that she was rath
er a nice young woman, very good to
fook at and more or less entertaining
as a companion. Suppose sbe did nar
row her eyelids and bite to s riper
redness her gracefully curved under
lip. We may even admit that she
crushed the meshes of the silver girdle
nntfj-there were red marks on her
white palm. She was no pallid com?
-pendium of all the feminine virtues.
She was a young person of high spir
its and ready passions. And she euld
not wholly forget those stories about
La Belle Savole .and the dinner to
chorus girls. Throwing a lace affair
over, her head and shoulders, sbe slip
ped quietly out through the big en
trance haD to the wide veranda and
down one of tbe paths' leading toward
the sound. It was after 8 o'clock and
"fltfte dark, as ths old moon was now
rising late, but she knew exactly where
hs was going. , '
hs saw. something which mads her
lean forward and strain her syss with
intent Interest From one , of ths
smallest buildings, s low -stone struc
ture, which she Judged must be ths
Icehouse, Issued s cheery beam of
light Some one was standing in the
half opened doorway. Only ftr an In
sunt did this spectacle remain visible,
'j'nen tbe dw was Vaat with a bang,
and the yellow ray disappeared. A
moment later the countess thought
sbe could distinguish a man making
his way acrons the lawn toward (he
servants' wing of the bouse,
Now. all this seemed very singular
to the Countess Vecchi So, keeplug
tbe figure of tbe man in slgbt she be
gan to walk parallel with him In order
to see where be was going. When sbe
saw he was making directly for the
side door of the south wing she grasp
ed her skirts firmly and started to
run, and she overtook him.
"Why. Tliumlns. is It you?"
Obviously it wus. Ou one baqd be
balanced a tray; In tbe other be car
tied a formidable looking club. -
"Lor', mlHs. what a start you gave
me!" said he.
"Did I? I'm sure I didn't Intend to
frighten you. Timmins. But I saw
you coming, snd there was something
I wanted to ask you. What Is It you
have there. Tlmmlus?"
Why. miss. I've been s-givln' the
puppies their supper."
Yes. 1 know. But I tbougbt you
usually carried their food in a pall.
What have they had tonight? And
before Timmins could protest she had
lifted the linen cover which had been
thrown over the tray. A variety of
dishes stood revealed.
Whv. Timmins. . surely the coach
puppies do not eat French chops!"
He was ready witted. was llmmins.
"Lor, no, miss, not as a general
thing. But this is a special occasion.
you know, a very particular occasion.
miss." j
Indeed! And what very particular
special occasion might this be to call
for French chops?"
Why. don't you remember four
months ago tonight? Course It's a bit
of foolishness, but Mrs. Timmins
would have it .that way. 'Puppies 'as
birthdays,' says she. just the same' "-
But puppies don't eat baked pota
toes, even on birthday anniversaries,
do they. Timmins?"
Baked potatoes! Do they? Why.
miss, they Just loves 'em. so they do."
And peas and bread and butter and
Jam. Timmins T
It's a bit wonderful, miss, but them
puppies has the most educated appe
tites of any coach puppies I ever see."
No doubt the countess should have
resented each barefaced deception.
She did make a weak attempt at a
frown, but It turned into a smile and
then a rippling laugh, in which. Tim
mins Joined genuinely.
And tbe Countess Vecchi tripped off
Into the darkness toward tbe front
door.
She had beard and seen enough to
convince her that at least part of what
sbe had gathered from her father's In
timations was correct Some one was
being kept as a prisoner about the
place. That some one was shut up in
the icehouse. It was useless to ask
questions. Her father would refuse
to answer, and the replies of Timmins
were-too inventive to be convincing.
So early the next morning, before
any one else on Hewington Acres had
even roused and turned over for a
sunrise nap. the Countess Vecchi
stole quietly downstairs, let herself
out of the front windows and walked
determinedly in the direction of the
icehouse.
Meanwhile Cherub Devlne bad hur
ried back to town and sought out that
distinguished champion of tbe rights
and privileges of such corporations as
can afford to Day liberal fees, Mr.
Robert Jaynes Driscoll.
Your average client would not have
attempted to find Mr. Driscoll at that
"SUBJO.T THS OOACH PUPPIlt SO SOT bat

hour hi tbe evening or. having found
him, would hardly have expected him
to give legal advice out of business
hours. But Cherub Devlne never
stopped to Inquire whether or not he
was violating professional ethics or
Intruding on personal privacy. : He
knew that Bob DrlscUl would most
likely be found either at his club or
at home. Five minutes la a telephone
booth settled the question. Mr. Dris
coll was at home. lis would be glad
to see Cherub.
Mr. Devlne hailed a taxicab and
within half an hour was being shown
Into a back room whose walls were
lined from floor to ceiling with thick
books bound to calfskin. '
Mr. Driscoll smiled and wived Mr.
Devlne toward a chair.

"Do much of this' night- work V
askedj the Cberub. "Have to, I sup
pose, to keep thitigw running." ,
Again Mr. Driscoll smiled. , Us was
quite used to Mr. ,D vine's breesy
manner. lis asked of , Mr. Devlne
what was up.
"All kinds of things," responded ths
Cberub. dropping- x,te c red leather
chair and extracting one of his black
cigars froth a waistcoat pocket
, "Firstly," began tbe Cberub, "you're
tbe chief attorney for that blasted
railroad I've, Just loaded up with,
aren't your , ,
Mr. Driscoll nodded. '.
"Good! Now, as my private counsel
I'd like to bttyt you tell me If I can
safely get rid of being president of it
within tbe next twenty-four hours."
"Not tired of It so soon, are you?"
"Tired! Why. say. Bob. there Isn't
work enough about a Job Of that kind
to keep a man awake. I put In all one
day trying to Bud things to da By ta
o'clock I'd O. K.'d a basketful of gen
eral orders that I didn't know any-,
thing about tired three fluffy haired
typewriter girls and issued a dozen
annual passes to my friends. Then
my private secretary and I sat around
and looked at each other until lunch
eon time. I didn't show up again. No.
no. Bob! It may be highly respectable
and all that but I've got to be where
there's something doing. 1 want to
ret back Into the street"
"There's nothing to prevent you
from resigning."
"Except putting In some one that'll
work things the way I want 'em
worked. What do you say to old Rim
mferr "Rlmmer of Chicago?"
"Yep; the one we nipped on short
holdings. Now. be bates me as tbe
devil bates holy water, but he's a bus
tler, and be knows the railroad game
like -a book. He's down and out now.
but be won't stay down, and when be
gets up again. I'd rather have him on
my side than against me. Guess he'd
rather be with me too. How about
Rlmmer. eh?"
Mr. Driscoll sent a quick but appre
ciative glance at tbe Cherub. He in
dorsed the Rlmmer nomination.
"Then that's settled." observed the
Cherub "You send for him in the
morning and pot it up to aim. 1 fig
ure that he'll be mighty glad to crawl
on the band wagon. Now for item
Na 2. Bet a million you couldn't
guess what I've been doing."
"Stake too high." laughed Mr. Dris
coll. "but 1 think I could come near
guessing. You've been getting mar
ried." "Z-s-z-lng. but that was close I don't
think!" replied the Cberub. "You're
within gunshot though, Bob. And 1
expect I might as well own up that
I'd like to, but there's no hope. 1
found the right girl, all right and I'd
Just told her about it when who
should show up but a hubby."
"Not hersr
"Right! ' I thought all along she was
a widow. Every one thinks so. He's
one of these cheap macaroni counts,
regular wife beater, and their honey
moon didn't last more, than a few
hours. Sbe leaves bim In Italy and
comes borne. Then It's reported that
be has died In a sanitarium family
don't deny it girl puts on black, and
all bands hope it will soon be so. But
he refuses to die and comes over here
to hold them up for cash. As it hap
pens, tbe first person be runs across
is me. Now, what do you suppose 1
did to him?"
Mr. Driscoll 's eyes concentrated se
riously on the bland face of Cherub
Devlne.
"I hope" he began.
"Oh, I didn't hurt him!" Interrupted
tbe Cherub. "I'm no hothead never
struck a man hi my life wouldn't
know bow. But perhaps 1 did worse.
I decoyed bim to an icehouse and
locked him in there."
"You what!" Even the composure
of Bob Driscoll was stirred by this
unique confession.
"Something had to be done right
away. .So I Just Jollied bun along to
the Icehouse, tolled him Inside and shut
the door on him."
"So you locked him up. did you?
Why didn't you let him make bis de
mand and then have him arrested on
a charge of blackmail?"
"Couldn't That would bring out tbe
whole story. See? She's been posing
as a widow. That's ber fathers work.
Think of what tbe papers would make
of that! No. no! We don't want to go
Into court and the count mustn't"
"I'm afraid. Cherub, that he's right
when he calls you a kidnaper. That
would be the technical charge. Ifs
rather a serious offense, too felony,
you know."
"All right; I'm not squeamish. Look
up some good criminal lawyer, will
you, and have him let me know bow
far 1 can go?"
"M m m m " murmured Mr.
Driscoll through pursed lips. "Why
not soothe him with a few hundred
dollar bills' and let him out?
"That s where my fool pride comes
In. Bob. Didn't know I bad any, but
I guess I have. See here; 1 can't buy
off tbe husband of the girl I well, it
don't seem right That would stick in
my crop."
But yon can't imprison a man In
definitely on your own book. Cberub.
Why. man, you would run ths risk of
a long term of imprisonment"
I suspected that Well, I can stand
It if he can. And he gets his dose
first" . . . .... . .
Mr. Driscoll looked long and earnest
ly at the Cherub. At last he suggest
ed. "You must be very fond of the
young woman. Devlne." ' . , -
"That's putting ft madly. Bob, and
she's worth It too. Why.' say, she's

THE GEORGES OF ENGLAND.
Brief Sketches of Four Predecessors
of the Present King.
According to the New York
World the name of George for their
monarch has never been a happy
one for the people of England. The
World gives the following brief
Bketches of the four Georges who
have ruled England in the past:
George I. Reigned for thirteen
years. He was tbe first monarch of
the house of Hanover. He was 65
years of age when he ascended the
English throne, and, he never could
learn to speak more than enough
English to say that he preferred
Hanover to his new country.
George II. Son of George I.,
reigned for thirty-three years. He
owed more to the sense of his wife,
Charlnttn CArnltne. than tn his own.
quarreled with Walpole, and found
a ready tool in Carteret in his ef
forts to make himself absolute aa
Henry VIII. had been. He was the
last English king to appear on the
field of battle. England was In tur
moil of war a great part of hi?
reign, but the wisdom of Pitt and
the skill of her soldiers saved her
colonial supremacy, and the hero
Ism of Clive saved her In India.
George III. Son of George II.,
reigned sixty years. His unpopu
larity was so great that his statue
In London had to go without a '
fiAma laaf fha matiIa .KamU
it. To him, however,' were due the
oirtn or tne united States of Amer
ica, and the final establishment of -:
parliamentary government 1n Eng- -land
the two things he tried most
to prevent. In the end his insanity :
became unmlstakablef for wherever'
he went attendants had to follow
him to rub off the walls the inde
cencies ha tiallra tv. yn.. , '
tilies he was partially cured, and '
then became permanently mad. .
George IV. Son of George III., '
was regent during his father's pet-,
lod of recognized madness, ; and
reigned In his own name for ten j '
