He overhears a diag- i nosis of his physicians that he is rapidly passing into a state of de- | cay from which there will be no re- | covery. Sir Oliver determines to | hide his identity in the slums and | put an end to everything. It is his | chance encounter with Glad, the | wonderful character portrayed by | Jacqueline Logan, that gives him renewed hope and fresh incentive. | Her audacity and her faith inspire him. He takes an interest in the poor wretches around him, joins the crowd that chases a thief through an | alley, and for a might lives the strange, weird existence of London | depravity. Sir Oliver undertakes no | reforms; he has his own depression | to reform, and from Glad learns a | lesson of hope and cheerfulness, of | which the three-wise-men physicians knew nothing.

LITTLE GIRL INJURED; HIT BY STREET CAR Little Phyllis Andrews, eleven years old, had a miraculous escape from déath this afternoon when, rid- ing down Earl street on her bicycle, she collided with a street car which was passing along King street and was knocked down on the track and under the heavy car. 8. A. Caverly, of the Bon Marche Grocery, at once summoned Dr. Williamson who at- tended to the bruises and cuts sus- tained by the child. Those who were near the accident thought that the little girl had been killed instant- ly and were immensely relieved to find that, so far as can be ascertain- ed at present, only minor injuries and a severe shaking up resulted. Mrs, M. Andrews, mother of Phyllis, who resides at 29 King street west, has had rather poor Another little girl was badly injured while playing on the college hill about two years ago. Little Phyllis was too nervous and frightened to give an account of the accident at the time of going to press but seemed to be well on the way to recovery. FULLER DETAILS. Of the Burning to Death of an Aged Lad y, Wagarville, May 21.--One of the most tragic happenings known around here for some time, took place on Saturday forenoon, when the farm, home and contents belong- ing to John Chalk was destroyed by His mother, Mrs. Hannah Chalk, was caught in the house and her body burned until only a few bones remained. The cause of the fire is unknown. At the time, the men folks were en- | gaged in working in the field, some distance from the house, and upon hearing the cries of neighbors, who noticed the fire, ran to the scene im- médiately. The fire had made such rapid progress all efforts to put it out were of no avail, Mrs. Chalk was alone in the house and was known to have been doing some baking that forencom., It is generally supposed the house caught fire in some manner from the kit- chen stove and that deceased had gone to secure some valuables out of the house and, being unable to fight her way out, fell a prey to the flames. Her body was found under the room where the deed of the property, ete., were kept. . Although seventy-eight years of age, the late Mrs. Chalk was unusu- ally active. She was born in Eng- land and spent the first part of her life there, coming to Canada a num- ber of years ago with her family. She is survived by four sons: Wil- lam, Richard, John and James, and five daughters, Mrs. Elgin Edgar, Mrs. Wallace Root, Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Isasc Smith, Dr. Suddaby, Sharbot Lake, ar- rived on the scene, late Saturday af- ternoon, and after making careful inquiries decided the holding of an Inquest was unnecessary. The funeral services were con- ducted on Tuesday, Methodist church, by Rev. Mr. Moycefll interment took place in Wa- garville cemetery.

FAILS IN ITS SUPPORT Of Missions in China When the Doors There Are Widest Open. Just at the time when the doors for Christianity in China are widest open, the Presbyterian home church in Canada is failing in its support of miseions, seid Rev. J. D. MacRae, a Presbyterian missionary who has spent fifteen years in Honan, and who spoke in Cooke's and Chalmers Presbyterfan churches on Sunday. This lack of support from the home church is among the adven- saries with which the mission in Hon- an has to deal.There have been no gains in the evangelistic staff of the mission in fifteen years. The new Chinese Christians need constant ana regular teaching, yet such is prac- tically impossible because of lack of funds. Yet the mission has been 'ask- ed to retrench still more this year. The speaker then enumerated sev- en "doors" opened of late by which the gospel might. enter if means were available. First, the Chinese were better fitted now for Christian leadership, largely because the mis- sion has a complete system of Chris- tion education. The recently orga- nized Chinese Home Mission So- clety is catching the imagination of the Chinese church. Opposition to Christianity is wearing down and it is now reaching the better classes. They were giving the gospel a bet- ter hearing. The natives were show- ing a greater willingness to serve in the church. China now was more open to impressions. Lastly, the var- ious methods tried to obtain a na- tional salvation, such a militarism, had sadly failed. The opportunities therefore for a real presentation of Christ were never better. The speaker also described the political situation in China. The standing army has been increased to a million and a half. Opium growing and consumption is greatly on the in- crease. in OOL. WILLIAM HENDRIE DIES IN HAMILTON The President of Ontario Joc key Club Had Undergone Two Operations. Hamilton, May 26.--Col.

When an oil burner, which he was operating in the testing of a boiler at the locomotive works Saturday evening about 7 o'clock, back-fired, Thomas Watson's clothes caught fire. The flames were quickly put out by an engineer who was in the shop but not before his right arm had been burned as far as the shoulder. He is now in the General Hospital. Dr. Williamson, who was called, stated on Monday that he was doing well. The engineer who extinguished the burning clothes and who wishes his name withheld, is to be commended for his presence of mind and fear- lessness, for his hands were badly burned in rolling Mr. Watson on the floor and throwing his coat over the flames.

But Won Out 6 to 4--Second Straight Victory. Peterboro, May 26.--After a bat- tle brimful of excitement, the King- ston Ponies emerged from the Cent- rel Ontario League opening fixture at Riverside Park Saturday victor- dous by six runs to four. The visitors won the game in the first four inn- ings when they nicked five runs off the delivery of Charlie Serth, the Petes new left hander, who was un- steady from the gong and was the victim of several costly defensive slips by his team mates. Heckman went to the mound af- ter the fourth and held the Ponies to one run and four hits for the bal- ance of the game, striking out eight men in the five innings. Gallagher went along smoothly for the ponies until the sixth when the Petes began to get to him 80 freely that after they had scored a run and had two men on the run- ways he was yanked in favor of Kelly who retired the side without & score, only to run into trouble himself in the next inning when the Petes scored two runs and had the bases filled with one run needed to tie the score when the side was re- tired. The all-round work of Compeau, the Kingston short stop, was a fea- ture. The youngster fielded in great style and had three hits in four times up. Another "kid who made good was Hal, the Petes eighteen- year-old right fielder, who made three fine catches and startdd a fast double play. Despite the conditions with muddy footing and a cold raw wind blowing it was a remarkably good ball game and the big crowd wag enthusiastic over the prospects. Sm -- Kingston Scored in First. Kingston scored in the first. Evans was hit and went to third on Serth's wild throw, on Compeau's bunt, the batter reaching second. Batstone hit to Johnston and Evans Was out at the plate. On a double steal Compeau scored. Sherry walk- ed, but Daley forced Batstone at third and Rickman flied to Hall. The Petes tied it up on their half on @ pass to Legon, Johnston's sacri- fice and Swanston's double to left. The Ponies got three in the third. A single by Compeau started it and he went to second on a wild pitch. Batstone" singled back of first and Compeau scored on Harrison's wild throw to third. Cherry's sacri- fice fly scored Batstone and after Daley singled Rickman was safe on an error and Purvie walled. Kelly sent Daley in with a sacrifice fly to Wolfe. In the fourth Compeau's single, a pass to Batstone, who was forced at second by Cherry, and a double steal on which Cherry was nailed but Compean scored, * gave Kingston another. The Petes wasted two singles and a base om balls in the fifth, Cherry throwing batter out at the plate. In the sixth Helson's single, Swan- ston's sacrifice and a single by Har- rison sent a run in and when Heck- man was passed Kelly succeeded Gallagher. Hall singled to right field, filling the bases, but Wolte Popped to short and Batten fanned. In the seventh Legon doubled to left and after Johnston had fanned went to third on a balk. Helson struck out. Gallagher dropped Swan- ston's fly to right, Legon scoring. Harrison was safe on Evan's fumb- le. Heckman doubled to right scor- ing Swanston. Hall walked filling the bases but Kelly got out of a bad hole by fanning Wolfe.

To Ask For Aid. The efty council at its next meet ing will be presented with a letter from the Kingston Amateur Base. ball League asking for a grant to aid in carrying on the great work itis doing.

The pres- ent city league has never received any aid from the city, and a grant will be a great help to it. $ Some Walloping.
