A d m i r e d by Northerners . T h o northern delegates admired his

"er.sy, soidior-lilce a ir and gesture" a n d ills modest nnd "cool but deter­m i n e d style and accent when he spcvke; nnd wondered to see h im loolt scitrco forty, when they recal led how his name had gone thi'Ough the colo-niCis twenty years ago, when h e - h a d m e t tlie F r e n c h so gn l lan l ly at Great M e a d o w s , and with B r a d d o c k at tho f o r k s Of the Ohio .

Some,' Of the best men. in Amer ica . , were opposed to the course which vvas';

' DOW evident ly to be takeui

S d l o n g as' i t , was merely a matter at protest , b y ' t h e tcolbnies severally,' they had no cr i t i c i sm to .make—except

E v e r y w h e r e men of substance and Of inliuoiico wore to be found by the score who were opposed to a revolu­t ionary agitat ion, such as this that now seemed to bo gather ing head. E v e n in Massachuset t s men who bore the best and oldest names of the com-'monwealth were of this n u m b e r ; in N e w "i'Drk and P e n n s y l v a n i a , nt the very heart of the. continent, they could, it was bel ieved, boast a ma­jority , as well as to tho far south­ward, in the. low country of South C a r o l i n a and Georgia .

W i t h o u t H u r t to the E m p i r e . N o one, they i leclared, but des igning

pol i t ic ians and men without prop­erty, those who had much to gain and noth ing to lose by the upsett ing .of law nnd ordered government , wished to see this contest wi th the min i s t ry pushed to extremes.

T h e y wished no less than others to see the colonies Iceep their lawful and chartered l iberties , but the th ing must bo accompl i shed soberly , nnd without loss Of things equal ly dear—of honor, and the maintenance of an unbroken E n g l i s h empire .

T h e nice balance of tho part ies was disclosed in the congress itself.

T h e P e n n s y l v a n i a delegation was led by Joseph Gal loway , a man In the pr ime of life, full of force and learn­ing, who had been speaker of the prov inc ia l house these eight years by tho a lmost unanimous choice of his colleagues, and who now stood forth to utter Ihe real voice of his colony in propos ing measures of accommoda­tion.

T h e Speaker's Propos i t ion . l i e proposed that tlie home govern­

ment be asked to sanct ion the estab-l i shment of a confederate par l iament for A m e r i c a , composed of delegates to be chosen every third year by the leglslaturBB of the several colonies, and act ing under a governor-general to be appointed by the crown.

Chatham's Opin ion of Congress . C h a t h a m might very just ly com­

mend the congress of 1774 as con­spicuous a m o n g del iberat ive bodies for its "decency, firmness and wisdom." its "solidity of reasoning , force of sagacity;' and wisdom of conclus ion, under such a compl i ca t ion of c i r c u m ­stances was such as even he did not fully c o m p r e h e n d .

F o r seven weeks of a lmost contin­uous session did it h a m m e r , its stiff, business into shape, never w e a r y i n g of del iberat ion or debate, t i l l It could put forth papers to the w o r l d — a n ad­dress to the k ing , memor ia l s to the people Of G r e a t B r i t a i n and to the people Of B r i t i s h A m e r i c a , the ir f e l low-subjects, and a so lemn declara­tion of r i g h t s — w h i c h should m a r k it no revo lut ionary body, but a congress Of just and thoughtful E n g l i s h m e n , in love, not with l icense or rebel l ion, buf with r ight and wholesome l iberty .

A Single Aggres s ive A c t . T h e i r only act e f aggress ion was

the format ion of an " A m e r i c a n asso­c iat ion" pledged against, , trade • w i t h G r e a t , B r i t a i n t i l l the legis lat ion of which they c o m p l a i n e d should be re^" pealed.

before, as he rode homeward from tho congress through tho a u t u m n woods, that it had not been; that L e e and H e n r y and M a s o n were r ight ly of tho same m i n d a n d purpose with the men from Massachuset t s ; that confer­ence had Only uni ted and heartened those who stood for l iberty in every colony; that there could be no com­promise—perhaps no y ie ld ing either — a n d that every man must now take his soberest resolut ion for the times to conie.

W a s h i n g t o n turned steadily to his private business for the winter, never­theless, as was his wont—pushed for­ward tho preparat ion and sett lement of his westei-n lands, and stood guard , as before, over tho soldiers' grants upon the Ohio , against o l l lc lal bad faith and negligence. '

T h e Busiest M a n In V i r g i n i a . " F o r a year or two past there has

been scarce a m o m e n t that I could properly ctill my own," ho declared to a friend who sol ic ited liis promise to act as g u a r d i a n to his son. " W h a t with my own business, my present ward's, my mother's, which is whol ly in my hands. Colonel Fa ir fax ' s , Co lone l Mercer ' s , and the l ittle assistance 1 have under taken to give in the man­agement of my brother August ine 's concerns, together with the share 1 take in publ i c affairs, I have been con­stantly engaged in w r i t i n g letters, set­t l ing i iccounts, nnd negot iat ing one

-piece of business or another; by which means I have real ly been de­prived Of every k i n d of enjoyment , and had a lmost ful ly resolved to engage In no fresh matter t i l l I had ent ire ly wound up the old."

Does Not S h i r k Responsibi l i ty . H o promised to under take the new

charge, nevertheless . It was stuff of his nature to ' spend himsel f thus, and keep his powers stretched a lways to a grea t compass .

W i t h the new year (1775) publ ic af­fairs loomed big again, and ominous .

T h e pet i t ions of the congress at P h i l ­adelphia had been received in E n g ­land a lmost wi th contempt, C h a t h a m , indeed, with that b r o a d and noble sti-gacity w h i c h made hint so great a statosmlin, had proposed that Anier i - ' ca's demands should be met, to the ut­most length of repeal and wi thdrawe i of menace, a n d that she should be ac­corded to the ful l the Belf-government she demanded in respect to taxtitlon and every domest ic concern . .

the ears of the colonists p r o m p t l y from over sea that s p r i n g ; but they were not s low to perce ive that thoy must look for no concess ions; and did not wait upon par l iament in the ir preparat ion for a doubtful future.

U p o n the very day the "congress of committees" at Ph i lade lph ia , adjourn­ed, a " p r o v i n c l a l congress" in M a s s a ­chusetts, formed of its own author i ty in tho stead o f the house of delegates tho governor had but just now dis­solved, had voted to o r g a n U e a n d equip the mi l i t i a of the co lony and to col lect stores and arms .

V i r g i n i a In A r m s , V i r g i n i a had been equal ly bold , and

almost equal ly prompt, far away^ an she seemed from the king's troops at Boston. B y the end of J a n u a r y C h a r l e s L e e could write f rom W i l l i a m s b u r g ;

" T h e whole country is ful l of soldiers, a l l furnished, ail in arms . . . . Never was such v igor and concord heard of, not a single traitor , scarce ly n si lent dissentient."

" E v e r y county is now a r m i n g a company of men for the avowed pur­pose Of protect ing their committees ," D u n m o r e had reported to the min i s try before the year 1774 w a s out, "nnd to be employed against government if occasion require .

"It is my full Intention," he said , s imply , "to dovote my life and fortune to the cause We are engnged in . If needful ;" and he had little doubt any longer what was to come.

SOME IDEAS ABOUT IVIARRIAGE THE LURE OF THE WEST

Mr. Wil l iam A. JUidford will nns-.var tliinstlon.s and .i?lvo advice I'liKlS 01^ C O S T on all subjects perlalnlnK to tho subject of bulklinf,', for tho ruaders of this paper. On account of Ills wiilo experience 03 Killtor. Author and Mannfncturer, lio Is, wUliout doubt, the highest autlioiity on all theso subjecl.s. Addfi'.SH all inqulrkv'j to Wmi.'ini A . Riulford, No, 178 West Jackson bnulovard, Cliicatjo, 111,, tuid only enclose iw'o-cent stamp for reply.

One of the objections sometimes made to tlie use of concrete in build­ing construct ion Is the fact that li ie i i i i isl ied surface is rougli and no at­tempt Is made lo g i v e . a l inlsb lo ll ie surface, either In the molds or af ler their removi i l . T h i s i.s probably due. to an idea that interrerl i ig -v.'ilh the surface would destroy the sliin o°. the •concrete nnd i e s s e i , u s e f u l n e s s .

T w o methods '|ow being suc­cessfully employedrg ivang a l lnish lo concrete either In molded bloclcs, or m o n o l i l h i c construct ion in place. T h e llrst of those methods is to apply fresh granite to the face of the mold , which gives it ai l the finish and dur­abil i ty or granite ashlar. T h i s linisli-Ing mater ia l Is ground and sifted into var ious sizes, several of which are employed in m a k i n g the fac ing mix­ture, on tlic same principal ns mix ing aggregates so ns to fill the voids. T h e host i i r o p o r l i o n , is one ot cement to three ot aggregate of dltreront sizes. A. smal l nuantity ot l iydrated l ime is added, which on acount of its lliie-ness, acts as a walerprool lng , like­wise prevent ing the block from sl ick­i n g to the mold. T l i o ingredients are thoroughly mixed while sti l l dry. T h e face of thojno ir t is wiped clean and di-y. A thin layer of a lmost dry spar ml.ved with u l ittle cement mixed with a l itt le l iydrated l ime Is spread on the plate. O n t o p of this a imlf Inch ot ordinary mixture is spread, then a layer of r ich back ing and linaily, tho o r d i n a r y block mixture which should bo lamped hard .

T h e above method Is tlio one used when a I'ace down concrete block ma­ch ine is used, while the reverse proc: cess is used with a face up machine . In this case the grit or feldspar is elfted dry on the wet cement. T l i e spar may be pressed Into the surface b y l i m n i n g a rol ler over it. A f t e r it has set the surface is washed with a

four hours . ' T h o molds are removed and the concrete is rubbed down with carborundum br icks . T h i s gives s beautiful polish.

Hei-e is d i sp layed tlin design of a house that could bo l inishod in this manner at no very great expense. T h o concrete walls could be carr ied to the (iecond floor nnd the balance of tho structure could be of frame construc­tion. T h o house is .Ii feet (i Inches wide and Si feet long, exclusive of the porch. T h o porch of this house ex-lends clear across the front, assur­ing good shade at almost any t i m e o f the duy.

It is dangerous to shelter under a so l i tary tree, because l i g h t n i n g l ikes to s tr ike the highest point, a n d a soli­tary tree is the highest point as a rule for some distance around. B u t you are pretty safe If you take shelter in a wood. A tree i n a wood is s e ldom struck.

If C h a r l t / Won't Accept , W h e r e , T t i en , Must it Go7

A Chicago char i ty has refused to accept a legacy fi'om a murderess on the ground that i t Is "tainted moiiey." A l l "tainted money" has to go some­where . W h y isn't Charity tlie best "use to which It can be put?

M u c h cheap reputat ion haa been gained by different inst itutions by de­c l i n i n g to receive "tatntetl money." B u t there Is a great deal of cant about the Tvhole business.

It might be well enough to let "tainted money" a l o n « i f nobody else w o u l d touch it. B u t somebody is sure to get it. T h e "taint" follows the money . T h e s e refusals look too m u c h l ike wil l ingness to avoid contamina­t ion yourse l f while you rest serene In the consciousness that your bro ther

I is go ing to be pol luted. T h a t is not ; Chr i s t ian i ty .

A l l money is m o r e or less "tainted." T h e r e Is not a single dol lar w h i c h goes into c irculat ion which is not l ia­ble to be put to base uses. T h e fact is, money Is a mere counter on the poker table of life.

"He Is at the camp-meeting," tho young woman nnswered reluctant ly . Irritated nt opposit ion, and displeased with herself for being Irritated. " W h a t do you want with h im? .1 wil l attend to whatever It Is. I am acquainted with all of his affairs—I a m his secro-tnry."

"Where's that camp-meotlng? H o w ciin 1 find tho place?" was F r a n ' s quick rcjol i ider . She could not ex­pla in tho dis l ike r i s ing wi th in her. She wns too young, herself, to con-Bldcr tho other's youth an advantage, but the boauty of the imperious wom­an In tho doorway—why did It not s t ir her Imagination?

M r . Gregory's secretary reflected that, despite Its seeming improbabi l ­ity. It might be important for h im to see this queer creature wlio camo to s trange doors at night-time.

"If you will go s traight down that road"- - she pointed—"and keep on for about n mile and a half, you wil l come to the b ig tent. M r . G r e g o r y wi l l bo in tho tent, leading the choir ."

" A l l right." A n d turning her back on the doo'r. F r a n swiftly gained tho front steps. Halt -way down, uhe paused, and glanced over her thin Ehoulder. S t a n d i n g thus, 'nothing was to be seen c< her but a b lurred out­l ine, nnd the sh in ing of her eyes.

"I guess," said P r a n Inscrutably, ' y o u ' r e not M r s . Gregory ." '

"No," came tho answer, with an al­most Imperceptible change of m a n n e r — a change as of gradual petri fact ion, "I am not M r s . Gregory ." A n d with that t h e l a d y , . who wns not M r s . G r e g ­ory, (juletly but forcibly closed • the door.

It was aa If, with the c los ing ot, that

scarc i ty of seats under the. canvas F r a n found a plank without a back, loosely disposed, nnd entirely unoc­cupied. She seated herself, s traight ns an Indian, nnd with the uir of be­ing very m u c h nt ease,

T h o scene was new to her. M o r e than n thousand vi l lagers , ranged nlong a nnturnl decl ivity, looked i o w n upon the p lat form of undressed pine. In front of tho platform men and women wore k n e e h n g on the ground. Somo were bathed In tears; somo were pi-aylng a loud; some were talk­ing to those who stood, or knel t be­side them; some were c lasp ing con­vulsive hnnds; all wero obl iv ious of surroundings .

F r o m the hundred members i f 'the choir, F r a n s ingled out the m a n che had been seeking for so m a u y years . It was easy enough to dis t inguish h im from the singers who crowded the platform, not only by his baton w h i c h procla imed the choir-leader, but by his rosemhiance to the picture she had discovered In a N e w Y o r k S u n d a y Supplement.

Hami l ton Gregoi-y wns c lean-shaved except for a s i lken reddish mustache; hla complexion was fair, his h a i r a shade between red and brown, 'is eyes blue. H i s .(Inely m n r k e d face nnd s t r i k i n g '-earing were s tamped with dist inct ion and grace, '

It was strango tn F r a n that he did not once ginnce In her d irect ion T r u e , there was nothing In her up-poarnnce to cxcito especial attention, but she had looked forward to meet­ing him ever s ince she could remem­ber. N o w that her eyes were fast­ened on his face, now that they were so near, sheltered by a common roof, how could he help feel ing her pres­ence?

T h e choir-leader rose nnd l i f ted his baton. A t his back tho hundred men and women obeyed the s ignal , whi le hymu-books fluttered open throughout the congregat ion. Suddenly the leader of the choir started Into ga lvanic life. H e led the song with his sweet voice, his sway ing body, his frantic baton, Ills wi ld arms, his Imperious feet. W i t h all that there was of him,~ he conducted tho melodious charge upon the r a m p a r t s ot sin nnd indifference. If in repose F r a n hnd thought h im s ingular ly handsome and attract ive , she now found him inspir ing . H l a blue eyes burned with exaltation whi le his mag ic voice seemed to thr i l l wi th more thnn human, ecstasy.

On the left, the heavy bass was s inging .

eagerly, tho unsaved would press their H'ny to the group knee l ing at the './ont. Prayers aud gronns rose louder. .Tubllant shouts ot re l ig ious v i c tory were more frequent. One could now h a r d l y henr the cho ir as it In­s i s ted—

"We. reap what we now, W o reap what v/i, sow."

Suddenly the evangelist smote his hands together, a s ignal for song and p r a y e r to cease.

H a v i n g obtoined a s i lence that wns breathless he leaned over the edge of the p iat torm, and addressed a man who knelt upon the g r o u n d :

"Brother C l in ton , can't you get It?" T h e mnn shook his head. "You've been knee l ing , there night

after night," tho evangel ist cont inued; "don't you feel that the L o r d loves you? Cnn't you feel It? Can't you feel It now? Can' t you got It? Can' t you get It now? B r o t h e r C l i n t o n , I want you to get through before those rev iva l services ilose. T l i e y close this night. I so away tomorrow. T h i s may be your last opportuni ty . I want you to get it now. A H these wai t ing friends want you to get It now. A l l those p r a y i n g -neighbors want to see you get it. Can' t you get through to­night? Just quiet ly here, without any excitement, without any noise or tu­mult , lust you and your soul alone to­g e t h e r — B r o t h e r Cl in ton , can't you get through tonight?" .

B r o t h e r C l in ton shook his head. F r a n laughed aloud. T h e evangel ist had alrendy turned

to H a m i l t o n Gregory as a s ignal for the h y m n - t o be resumed, for some­times s inging helped them "through, ' but the sound ot i rreverent laughter chi l led his blood. T o his h igh ly wrought emotional nature, that sound

the proper t ime a n d placo. H i s mouth was frank, h is forehead open, his shoulders broad.

F r a n rose as swif t ly as it a giant had l i f ted h e r to her-feet. "Come on, then," sho snid in a tone somewhat smothered . She c l imbed over tho "str inger" nt the end of her plank, and m a r c h e d behind the y o u n g . man ns if ob l iv ious of devour ing eyes.

A s they passed the last pole that supported a gasoleno-burner, F r a n g lanced up shyly from under her broad hat. T h e l ight burned red upon tho y o u n g usber's face, nnd there was s o m e t h i n g Id the c r i m s o n glow, or in the face, that made h e r feel l ike cry­ing, just because—or so she fanc ied— it rev ived the recol lect ion of her lone­l iness. A n d as she usual ly d i d - w h a t she felt l ike doing, she cried, s i lently, as sho fo l lowed the young man out be­neath the stars.

In spite of the .vast vo lume ot sound produced by these voices, as well as by the acompanlraent ot two pianos and a snare-drum, the vohie ot H a m i l t o n Gregory , soar ing flute-like toward heaven, seemed to l a r t through the interst ices ot "rests," to thread its s lender way a long Infinites­i m a l curves ot silence. A s ,one list­ened. It was the insp ired truth as ut­tered by H a m i l t o n G r e g o r y that brought the message home to con­science. A s it one had never before been told that one reaps what one sows, uneasy m e m o r y started out of hidden places with Ita whisper of seed sown amiss . T e a r s rose to many eyes a n d smothered sobs betrayed Intense emotion. ...

: O f those who were not In the least affected, P r a n was one. Sho saw and heard H a m i l t o n Gregory's impass ioned earnestness, and div ined his y e a r n i n g to touch many hearts; nor d i d ' she doubt that he would then and there have g iven his;iife; to press home' upon the: erring., that; they -mnai.; u l t imate ly reap what tliey were sowing. Never ­theless she was altogether •unmoved,; It w o u l d have been easier for her to laugh- than to cr.y.

of m i r t h came as tho laughter of fiends over the tragedy of an I m m o r t a l soul.

"Several times," he cried, with whit­ened face, "these services have been dis turbed by the ungodly." H e point­ed an-inf lexible l inger at P r a n ; " Y o n ­der Bits n little g ir l who s^i-^uld not have been al lowed tn this tent unac­c o m p a n i e d by h e r parents. B r e t h r e n !

A s the song swept over the wor­shipers in a w a v e , of pleading, such ushers as s t i l l r e m a i n e d held a Inief consultat ion. T h e task, assigned them did not seem included In the ir proper functions. O n l y one could be found to volunteer as po l i ceman, and he on ly because the evangelist 's , de termined eye and r ig id a r m had never ceased to lndlcate.;the disturber_of the peace. „

P r a n was furious; her smal l white, face seemed cut. in stone as she s tared at . the evangelist . H o w could she have , known she was going to laugh?

scene was rather bewildering. H i s eyes were st i l l full of the l ight from gasolene-bi irners, his ears Btlll rang with the confusion of tent-noise into which entered tho prolonged mono­tones 9f Inarticulate groanings, nnd the explos ive suddenness of seemingly Irreverent A m e n s ,

N o t h i n g Just then mattered except the s a v i n g of souls. H a v i n g faithful ly attended the camp-meet ing for three weeks he found other Interests blot­ted out.

T h o s e who had professed their faith left no stone unturned in leading oth­ers to the a l tar , as If life could not re­sume Its rout ine unt i l the unconverted wero brought to .kneel at the evang­elist's feet.

A s A b b o t t A s h t o n reflected that, be­cause of this young g i r l -with the m o c k i n g laugh , he was los ing the cl i­m a c t e r i c express ion of the three-weeks' c a m p a i g n , h is displeasure grew. W i t h i n h i m was an undefined thought v ibrat ion a k i n to surpr ise , caused by the serenity Of the hushed sky. W a s It not incongruous that the heavens should be so peaceful ' with' their quiet star-beacons, while m a n was e x e r t i n g h imse l f to the utmost of gesture and noise to g lori fy the M a k e r of that c a l m canopy? F r o m the weather-stained canvas rol led the w a r n i n g , not u n m u s i c a l l y :

- "We TCBp what-wo sow. We reap what we sow."

A b o v e the tide, of melody, the vo ice of Che evangel is t rose in a aCreara, ap­pa l l ing in its a g o n y — " O h , men and women, w h y wi l l you die. why wil l you d ie?"

B u t the stars , l o o k i n g down at the si lent ear th , sp'olte not of death, spoke on ly as stars , s e e m i n g to say; " H e r e are A p r i l days, dear old earth, ba lmy spr ing t ime and s u m m e r harvest - be­fore u s ! — W h a t m e r r y nights we shal l pass toge ther !" T h e earth answered wi th ft sudden white smile, for'' the moon h a d just r i sen above the distant woods.
