RUSSELL So large was the audience which turned out to hear Professor Elbert Russell's address to the congregation of the West Richmond Friends' church last evening, that adults were compelled to use chairs from the room of , the infant Sunday school class. The sermon was delivered outdoors on the lawn of the church property and permitted drivers of automobiles to bring their parties within hearing distance. It is estimated tnat more than three hundred people attended the service. Professor Russell discussed the relation of Christianity to militarism, as a means of promoting righteousness and preserving rights, in a sermon, the subject of which was "Christ and the War Spirit." He said that the Jewish people expected the Messiah to be a military leader, but that Christ rejected the war method in the es tablishment of the church. The Roman empire was won by the disciples, the speaker declared, without physical resistance or the resort to arms or warfare. The later Idea , of Christianity and warfare being ' compatible and the bringing of warfare into the church came entirely from the German tribes, the Moham medans, the Jews and the Romans, h said. Illustrations in the present European conflict were made by Professor Russell to present points of his sermon. The Sunday school orchestra played several selections of music during the services.

Her Husband's "Widow By edmund b. fauvergne . ' " . f,:-:Jt ...." - . 'SSSMBSWBSMBlWMSBBBS Leslie, Declining to Follow Her Husband to Egypt, Learns That He Is Dead
synopsis. ; Leslie Morne, a governess, falls in love with a British sergeant, who saves her from insult Steele marries Leslie and take rooms for her. Leslie learns from some old letters of her mother's that she is the daughter of a man of title. She loves Steele, but soon becomes bitterly discontented. She begins to realize that their marriage was a mistake. Steele is ordered to Egypt and leslie stays behind. By Edmund B. D'Auvergne. CHAPTER IV. To that she demurred. "Oh, do you want to, ; much ? I'd rather stay at home with you. I don't care much for music balls." "Well, all right." He seemed a tri fle surprised at her indifference to the form of entertainment he had suggested. They were finding out every day now ' little differences of taste and point of view. "All right." he repeated cheerfully, "let's go down to the scoff." She knew he meant the tea, and took her place opposite him. She paused as he proceeded to un buckle his belt. "I wish you wouldn't do that," she said pettishly. "I hate to see you with your tunic unbuttoned. It looks so slovenly." He flushed deeply all over his fair face and muttered some words of excuse. It was the first time she had ventured on any correction of his per sonal habits. ' Presently she caught him up in the midst of narrating some episode of barrack room life for his persistent use of the phrase - "not half." "You know how these words annoy me," she cried, biting her underlip in vexation. "You need not talk like that." "Well, I've got Into the ws of it again," he said, with a trace of sulklness; "I'm sorry. I don't pretend to be a gentleman at least not what you seem to mean by a gentleman. But it was her mother's love story and not her own which possessed her thoughts next day. She found herself returning again and again to those letters and brooding half bitterly, halfcomplacently over the mystery of her origin. She was interrupted in the midst of these reflections by the arrival of Victor, accompanied evidently by two other . men. She fled into her bed room.. He followed her and explain ed that he had thought Sergeant O'Rourke, one of the witnesses at their marriage, and Dingly, the band master sergeant. The non-commissioned officers re ceived her a little awkwardly and with exaggerated, ceremony. She gave her hand limply. Victor told them of her headache, and they began to plague her with expressions of sympathy. "You had better give us a tune, Dingly," said Victor, evidently anxious to efface the memory of his clownishness. He glanced at his wife and blushed, as he was very prone to do. The Bandmaster Further Annoys Victor's Wife. The bandmaster, seating himself at the crazy piano, rattled off a popular air. O'Rourke, without an invitation, stood by him and trolled forth the chorus in a stentorian but not unmelodius voice. Leslie though the song the most stupid and vulgar she had ever heard. In reality, it was harmless and jolly enough. She clutched her husband's arm. "I really must go to bed," she whispered. "I feel horribly sick." All three men at once manifested their concern. With difficulty she got away from them at last and flung herself on the bed. Victor knelt beside her, prodigal of regrets and sympathy. "Oh, do go away," she entreated petulantly. "I shall be better alone. Go out and enjoy yourself with them. Do go. I want you to have a good time. Very reluctantly he went, and she did not hear his voice as the three men filed downstairs with much jingling of spurs, laughter and snatches of eong. "Why couldn't we have gone on as we were? she asked herself. "He could have met me every other day. The romance would have lasted that way for years." and now she thought it was wearing thin. To adopt the plan he proposed would be to slaughter their love there and then. She must do something, she said to herself despearately. She acted on the resolve and found a congenial if poorly paid position in a bookshop, and Victor encouraged her in her work, when he saw how much she enjoyed it. Then came an unexpected order to his regiment to go to Egypt. "Of course I want you to go with me," he said sharply. "Did you suppose I wanted to leave you behind?" She got up from the chair, and drawing aside the blind stared blankly into the dimly lit street. Her lips were quivering, and she made a tremendous effort not to cry. Her reading left her in no doubt as to the kind of "lonley hole" at which they would be stationed. She pictured the isolation perhaps on the edge of the desert the horrors of an Egyptian summer, for of course he would not be entitled to the long leave of an officer. She felt that he was watching her. "Don't you want to go?" he asked wonderingly. He waited. Then he drew a deep breath. "I see," he said. "You don't fancy the life. . . . Well, perhaps it's not very pleasant for a girl. It wasn t fair of me to ask you. She was tempted to give way, to throw her arms about him, and tell him that wherever he went she would go. She wanted, at least, to say that, but the love which would have given her strength was slumbering, ice bound. Another voice instead remind ed her that she would regret such a decision as soon as she had acted up on it; It told her to be firm and not to wreck her life a second time. "I know I'm a pig,", she said at length, in a low, uncertain voice. "But I Idon't think I could stand it" "You would rather stay here till I have got my commission?" he suggested with an attempt at cheerfulnessLeslie Sorry for Her Unwarranted Temper. . "If you think I m worth sending for then." - She came back to the table, and
meeting his pained. Inquiring glance she burst into angry weeping. "Oh, I know you think me horrid a little cad yes, I know you do! Don't touch me, or I shall scream! Dont touch me, I say! I know you despise : me. Everybody must You ought never to have married men. You know that I hate poverty and poky lodgings, and . . . 4 and f. . the sort of people we mix with, and all that I can't help It I was born like that!" She had angered him now. All his tenderness froze. He returned to his chair and pretended to light a cigarette unconcernedly. "Thanks," he said with a dry little laugh. "The sort of people we mix with! They are the same sort as; myself. Now we know where we are -, : "Oh, you can torture me like that if you are brute enough," she broke in fiercely. "I deserve it ' all. But you don't know all." "What don't I know V he asked sharply. "Oh, what I am," Her voice rose almost to a shriek. "All this all these Ideas that you think snobbish I dare say they are they're in my blood. My my father," she went on with flushed face and choking voice, "was well, a man of title, if you must have It" she was horribly conscious that the phrase sounded flunkeylsh "I suppose I've inherited his tastes. I can't help it" It semed a long time before Victor spoke. "I'm sorry to hear this," he said at last. "It won't make things any easier. Because your father was a man of title!" He made no effort to conceal his scorn. "If he had beep Napoleon Bonaparte or the Kaiser I might have understood. You look down on O'Rourke I suppose. I wonder if this magnificent father of yours had medals on his breast like him. Don't think, my girl, I reckon myself honored because I've married a scion of our old nobility." He could not repress a cruel tfneer. "We've got some of them in the regiment. I know one in Egypt he used to borrow money from us. I think he was cashiered at last. I wouldn't have been connected with him not for Bob's baton." He struck the table with his heavy fist. "I reckon I'm as good a man as your titled father, whoever he was. You are jolly proud of being his daughter. Some day you may be prouder of being my wife. The soldier seemed, as he said that, to express all the pride and dignity of the profession of arms. "I'm a miserable little wretch," she cried dabbing her handkerchief in her eyes. "I'm not worthy to polish your spurs." Then, next morning, the manager told her that he intended to Increase her salary and might be able to find her a better situation in their newly opened West End branch. She had talked enough with her fellow assistants to know that London had 'a bright and gay side to offer to girls earning even less money than she might now expect. When Victor met her his first words implied that he had taken her objec

It seemed to Leslie, thinking it over afterward, that all the agony of the parting came to a climax on the Sunday, the day after his departure. She was left alone in her desolation. Fortunately the very next morning she was directed to begin her duties at the Bond street branch. The change of scene was In itself a relief. In the evening she was wise enough to go to a theatre , with Rose Darley, a fellow assistant She explained her obvious dejection by the half-truth that she had parted with an old friend. Miss Darley, suspecting a romance, was warmly sympathetic, and hearing that Miss Morne was living alone, insisted on her spending the night at her own rooms. The invitation resulted In a. permanent partnership. The two girls decided to join forces and Leslie at once moved her few belongings from Chiswick to the tiny flat at Notting Hill Gate. Presently she came to realize very sadly how small a part Victor had played in her life during the last three months. She enjoyed her evening at the play with Rose Darley, and the coffee and liqueurs afterward at some restaurant where they sat among brilliant beshawled women and their opulentlooking shirt-fronted men-folk. She was living at least on the frontiers of the world to which she believed herself of right to belong. Letters came from Victor by every mail. He was stationed on the frontier of Tripoli, perhaps a hundred miles west of Alexandria out in the desert. He wrote cheerfully and humorously, but it was plain to her that his life must be Inexpressibly dreary. He Urges Her to Come to Him Soon. Six months passed and be began to show signs of impatience. "I expect to be transferred to Suez very shortly," he wrote, "and at increased pay. I don't want to bother you, but it's lonely without you and I think I could make you pretty happy out here. Do say you'll come soon." As she crossed Notting Hill High street, the head-lines on a news-sheet arrested her attention: "Serious Affray on Egyptiaon frontier." She started, and bought 'a paper with a trembling hand. She told herself that the news was not likely to concern her in any way, and refrained from glancing at it until she had regained her room. Then conscious that her heart was beating rather fast, she opened the paper with deliberate slowness and spread it out before her. She read: "Serious trouble on Tripoli frontier English N. C. O. and five native troopers killed in affray with marauding Dervishes." In the blurred closely set type below, the name of the Englishman stood out, it seemed to her In letters of fire "Sergeant Victor Steele, Twenty-fifth Lancers." To Be Continued.
ARKANSAS SUFFERS FROM FOUR FLOODS HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Aug. 16. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Reynolds have returned from Lewisville, Ark., Mr. Reynolds on a short business trip, Mrs. Rey nolds to remain for a three weeks' visit. They report four overflows this season that have ruined all the crops in the river bottoms, the fourth and last planting being washed away, destroying all hopes of a crop the pres ent season. Good crops, however, are promising on the uplands. Mr. Reynolds, who is manager of a 2,000-acre ranch, states that their loss will be $5,000 the present season, but this loss does not beget discouragement, for barring unforseen conditions, they expect a bumper crop next season. These freshets occurring only at occasional seasons, and depositing, as they do, rich alluvium, are considered of inestimable value in the making of new soil. Mr. Reynolds is so well pleased with that part of Arkansas. that in addition to a ranch bought re cently, he is making other land in vestments. Pormosan trade with Japan in 1914 amounted to $42,637,398.

FOUR GROUPS HOLD REUIIIOtl AT PARR
Four family reunions, hid in the pavilion at Glen Miller park aSturday when rain prevented outdoor sports and picnic dinners beneath the trees, were attended by a total of four hundred and sixty 'persons. The reunions were the Rhoades family with one hundred members present; the Brouse family, attended by eighty -persons; the Small-Trussel or McMinn family, represented by 210 members, and the Weeks family with seventy members present. Business sessions of the families held on the second floor of the pavilion, prevented dancing, the one diversion which might have been held indoors. Pullers In In the old days along the Bowery storekeepers had what were known as "pullers in" who grabbed passers by and endeavored to sell them by main strength. Happily this style of merchandising Is no more but it left behind the germ of an idea. This idea is that an attractive store front and an interesting window attract customers. Today everyone reads the newspapers and alert storekeepers put to the front in their windows the goods which manufacturers are advertising in the newspapers. . These gccds are in the public mind. Their presence in the store window attracts attention and they bring people inside to look and buy. Attention of Automobile Owners SAFETY FIRST should be the aim of every automobile owner.
