"lie lived on the day of Ilattln, and Buffered It," said Heraelius; and the council broke up, having decided nothing. That afternoon Balian stood once more before Haludln and Implored him to spare the city.

CHAPTER XXIII.

UOH the day when he saw Sala-

din Godwin began to grow strong again, and as his health came back, so he fell to think

ing.' Rosamund was lost to him and Masouda was dead. What more had he to do with life, which had been so full of sorrow, struggle and bloodshed? Go back to England, to live there upon his lands and wait until old age and death overtook him? The prospect would have pleased many, but it did not please Oodwin, who felt that his days were not given to him for this purpose and that while he lived he must also labor. ' As he sat thinking thus, and was very unhappy, the aged bishop Egbert, who had nursed him 6o well, entered his tent, and, noting his face, asked : "What ails you, my seta?" "Would you wish to hear?" said Godwin. "Am I not your confessor, with a right to hear?" answered the gentle old man. "Show me your trouble." So Godwin began at the beginning and told It all how as a lad he had 6ecretly desired to enter the church; how the old prior of the abbey at Stangate counseled him that he was too young to Judge; how then the love of Rosamund had entered Into his life with his manhood, and he had thought no more of religion; how by degrees he had learned that Rosamund's love was not for him. Lastly he told him of Masouda. The bishop listened In silence till he had finished. Then he looked up, saying: "And now?" "Now," answered Godwin. "I know not. Yet It seems to me that I hear the sound of my own feet walking upon cloister stones and of my own Toice lifted up In prayer before the altar." "You ore still young to talk thus, and, though Rosamund be lost to you and Masouda dead, there are other women In the world," said Egbert. Godwin shook his head. "Not for me, my father."

RICHMOND RECEIPTS LOW

AMOUNTED TO $165.25 BUT COMPARED FAVORABLY WITH RECORDS MADE BY OTHER HOOSIER CITIES.

Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 16. A special dispatch from Washington says that E. L. Williams becretary to Representative Overstreet, has discovered, in rummaging through a lot of old government records, a time stained volume which is of great interest to Indianians as it gives the receipts of all Indiana postoffices during the year 1827 with other data bearing upon Indiana postal affairs at that early date. That was before there was such a city as Chicago; at least the same volume contains no mention of a postoffice at Chicago. In that year there were 135 post-

offices in Indiana, Their total receipts were $3,670.36. The r.ecelpts of the Indianapolis postoffice for the entire year were $372.36. An idea of the

growth of postal receipts in Indianapolis may be obtained by comparison

with the recent reports. The receipts of the Indianapolis postoffice for the

single month of April, 1906, were $75,-

as the receipts of all the postoffices in

Indiana for the entire year of 1827. Harmony was Second.

It Is interesting to note that the

town of Harmony was next to Indiana polis in the volume of its postal re caipts in 1827. Its receipts, as report

ed to the general government, were

$2S3.96. Madison came next with re

ceipts footing up $262.30. Other Indiana postoffloes reported receipts for

the year as follows:

Waterloo, $5.05; Shelby ville, $34.S0;

Lawrenceburg, $167.81; Crawfordsvillo

$110.23; Ft. WTayne, $123,43: Conners-

ville, 131.34; Brookville, $169.03;

Bloomington, $134.60; Vevay, $121.04;

Terre Haute, $200.77; Salem, $202.16;

Missouri would not only enable the

general government to save a large amount of the sum now expended in having the great western mail carried

but would also greatly subserve the convenience of the people of Indiana

by shortening the routes and facilita

ting the reception of nearly all her malls and. whereas, the necessity of

of prompt means of correspondence

with the general government and com

mercial cities is daily becoming more important by the utmost unparalleled increase of population and business of

the state, therefore:

"Resolved, by the General Assembly

of Indiana, that our senators in con

gress be instructed and our represen

tatives requested to use their best ex

ertions to procure an appropriation

from the surplus funds of the general

postoffice or from any other fund to open a practicable stage route through

Indiana upon the line of the National road as located and a practicable mail

The suggestion made some months

ago by prominent citizens to rechrls-

ten North A street, conferring the title

Church Street" upon it, may bring re

sults soon. It is said that numerous

property owners along that thorough

fare as well as the membership of the churches believe that the new namo

would be exceedingly appropriate.

name, it can result in no contusion, to the contrary, it being argued, it will

give the street an lnaiviauaity ana a

prominence that it does not have now

Beginning at the corner of North A

and Fifth street the church edifices are

as follows:

Fifth Street Methodist church.

Rhoda Temple, W. C. T. U. St. Mary's Catholic church. St. Paul's Episcopal church. Fiske Memorial Chapel. Grace Methodist church. First Presbyterian church. Reid Memorial church. Hicksite Friends church. Church street would fit the condit

ions nicely, advocates of the plan declare, and would make the widest

thoroughfare in Richmond one of the best known in the state.

Plans are now under way for the

further Improvement of the street.

The curb line is to be made uniform

and cement curb and gutters i i- in. Property owners are as a rule opposed

to the suggestion that the street be asphalted, much preferring macadamized street. No serious consideration, however, has ever been given to the

suggestion that asphalt be used as a pavement. The street will be narrow

ed slightly when new curbs are set

and the space between sidewalks and

curbs will be correspondingly wider.

thus providing grass plots that will help to beauty of the thoroughfare.

Although two weeks of "May have gone and the season for storing eggs

usually ends with April, maty dealers are still packing eggs and keeping the price firm. The larger dealers who judged the situation rightly at the beginning of the season bought as soon as the weather permitted at 15c and 16c. They got all the eggs they wanted by the end of last week and their storage work is ended for this year. Other dealers who expected lower prices as soon as the season was well under way, waited so long that they are still storing and they got no benefit, as far as lower prices are concerned. Eggs are plentiful, and were It not for the unusual continuance of the storage season, would be at 11c or 12c, dealers say. This condition will probably be met as soon as the smaller dealers are through storing.

HIGH HONOR CONFERRED

Promoters of Local Tuberculosis Exhibit Invited to Send it to Winona During the Summer.

Interest in the fight against tuberlosls is not confined to one locality or to any particular class of people. The whole country Is waking up to the importance of facing the situation and a request has already come from Dr. Hurty. of the State Health Board, that the exhibit which is offered free to Richmond citizens at the South Eighth Street church be sent to Winona for exhibition there as part of a proposed exhibit.
