N HIS HONOR

In the life of the truest man*-honor sometimes weakens at the
dl of love or Impulse. But real honor is strong, even utno
death, and it rarely “takes the count.” A young engineer allowed
love to entice him to the brink of a precipice, but the call of con-
science would not be stilled and—well—even at one minute to

Washington, March 31.—The
plight of a “man without a coun-
try,” who cannot be admitted to the
United/States becahse of the inflex-
ible law of the land, is puzzling
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel.
Martin' Gajen, a seaman of the
barkentine Amazon, became insane
while the vessel was on the ocean
en route from New South Wales,
Australia. He lost his mind two
days before he reached the Cali-
fornia coast. The immigration law
declares that an insane alien can-
not be admitted to this country and
must be deported. ,
A similar statute prevails in Aus-
tralia, and. the master of the vesr
sel points out that he cannot *fer-i
turn the unfortunate man to that
country. .
Gajen is believed to be a Russian.
The Russian authorities state, how-
ever, that his nationality must be
proved and his relatives located, so
they may eye for him before he
can be deported to Russia. In his
present condition he can prove
nothing.
The question of giving asylum to
the helpless man is thus being buf-
feted from country to country. Sec-
retary Nagel has taken the matter
under . consideration, and immigra-
tion authorities state that it is one
of the most tantalizing problems
ever presented to the government.

London, March 31.—The Turk-

whose losses wer^ twenty-seven of-

of the Turkish commander at; Beng-

correspondent at the Turkish head-
quarters.
The place of the battle is not
given in the report, which says the

ians fell into the hands of the Turk-
ish troops. The Turkish command-
er says that the. casualties among
the Turkish and their- Arab "allies
numbered only 150 killed and

New York, March 31.—Mrs. Au-
gusta E. Stetsofi, for years the
leading Christian Science exponent
of New York and often mentioned
as the probable successor of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, announces her
belief in the resurrection of the
founder of the church. In ah in-
terview this week she said:
“When Mary Baker Eddy, the
God-crowned woman, the emancipa- 1
tor of humanity, comes forth tri-
umpant over death and this fact is
significant and imminent, conscious-
ness will be purified and a new
epoch will have begun.
"Christ Jesus represented the
fatherhood of God. He was born
human and divine. His divine na-
ture—His Christ consciousness—
triumphed over the human Jesus
and he ascended beyond finite view.
“Mrs. Eddy represents the moth-
erhood of God and will demonstrate
her teachings as Christ. Jesus dem-
onstrated His Words.”

suspicion crossed Stock-
yon say? The proper-

led out?” Had-
of the sort.
He felt Hadley’s cold, slow fing-
ers fumbling at the cords. “Hard
knots,” he heard the man mutter.
“I’ll have to jerk them loose! Here
—wait—-” Hadley put forth all his
strength and Jerked. Taken rather
unexpectedly, and, badly balanced
because of his strapped legs, Stock-
ton went over backward across the
cot. t
With a low moan,' Hadley crump-
led back among the blankets. “My
wound,” he gasped. “My wound—
you struck it—you-” the voice
died away.
Stockton, with a grip of horror,
saw the old man had fainted from
the pain.
The last ray> of hope seemed to he
obliterated. A rush of blood pound-
ed to Stockton’s whirling brain.
What was to he done? What could
be done? Very carefully he drew
himself erect to his feet, gained a
balance; and hopped across the
floor grotesquely, a few inches at
a time. Approaching the open door
that led into the other room, a tiny
gleam of light caught and held his
attention.
It was the reflection from the
telephone. As he stood there, in a
helplesssort of way, a sudden idea
leaped to his mind. If he could
get to that phone, get connections
with the operator at the telegraph
station before midnight-.
He peered up at the dim clock. It
marked ten minutes to twelve! Ten
precious, pregnant minutes yet re-
mained!
Laboriously he hopped into the
dark room, reaching the table upon
which the portable telephone rested.
He sank to his knees, and seized the
tablecloth in his teeth. He Jerked
it, Inch by inch. Presently, with a
crash, the Instrument dropped,to the
floor, the receiver falling from the
hook.
Even m be prepared to call, a
voice sounded, asking impatiently for
tho number. After an effort, he
“Hello, central—give me the tele-
graph office at once!”
A snapping of wires came; then a
steady, dull roar, followed by a sharp
click. A new voice greeted him.
‘Hello,” he answered. “Is this
the telegraph office at Creede?” .
'Yes. Office at Creede!”
‘Are the wires between there and
Denver open yet?”
‘Just open!”
‘Listen”—Stockton’s heart leaped
so violently he could hardly form the
right words—“this is Mr. Stockton
talking. Stockton, of the Colorado
Construction Company. Remember
that message I handed in to you early
this morning?” ’
A pause; then: “Yes. I believe
I -do.”
“Have you sent it?”
Another pause. “Not yet.”

came unconsciously.
“What was that?’
"Listen”—the engineer ignored the
question—“I want two words chang-
ed in that message before you for-
ward it!”
“Very well. I have the message
here. What are they?’
“Instead of El Tovar, make it
Bear Creek Canon! Get that?”
A Slight pause followed.
“I’ll repeat what I have now.’

That O. K ?”
“Yes. All O. K. Get it throui
at once!”
“I!ll send it immediately.”
The clock above him struck twelve
times. After that he heard Hadley
calling him from the other room.
Stockton dragged himself in there to
find the miner apparently fully re-
covered from his faint. More care-
ful now, it was but the work of
moment to release the engineer from
his bonds.
With a quick cry of relief, Stock-
ton straightened his arms and l
overcoming the numbitfess.
“I’ll get out of here—and get 1
Creede before daylight,” he exclaim
ed. “Then I’ll bring the sheriff
back with me. We’ll have you out
of this place before noon. Good-
by.”
Stockton ran across the room,
threw open a window, .and dropped
lightly to the ground. The
down the canon lay distinct
moonlight.
