-The Ngbtinf Parson."
The title of the play might indicate
that the Parson is always looking
for trouble, but such is not the case
The word "lighting" may be used
in many ways. It may be said that
every Minister of the Gospel is a
"Fighting Parson."-. Does he not
lead the fight in the battle of Right?
Th« character in the play is a noble
one. He had during his studies for
the ministry, developed himself into
an unusually clever athlete. While
engaged in his settlement work, he
is called upon frequently- to make
ttse of his athktic ' propensities.
hence he is called "The Fighting
Parson."
The role of "The Parson" will be
in the hands of John A. Preston who
will be supported by a strong comp
fttty of players including the popular
comedienne, Lida Hall has been a
prominent factor in Musical Comedy

One rammer moonlight night I was'
by the waves. I would rather be npar

other tiim\ especially when broken

stopping usually at some' fisherman's
cottage. On this occasion 1 had
pitched a tent on the beach .and Inhabited
It alone. I war lying under
my canopy, the flaps thrown aside so
that from ' my bed—blankets only—I
could look out on the ocean. There
was the sky. light clouds slowly drifting
across the face of the moon, the
line of the horizon dividing the lighter
from the darker hemisphere. The ocean
plane met the path of moonlight broadening
toward mi' from afar, the waves
lastly rolling In and bursting on the
shore.
I nave wondered since If the music
of the waters put me to sleep and 1
awakened or whether I did not sleep.
At any rate, my- attention was arrested
by something white, at least
lighter than the sand, down near the
verge. I wiitcbed it There was an
occasional fluttering about It, like a
woman's skirts gently moved by a"
breeze. It appeared to be about the
height of a human figure, though really
in my perception of it there was nc
such thing as size, and was gently
swaying like A very young tree shaken
by the wind.
Presently It moved. Then I was conscious
that It was coming toward me.
I had no superstitious fear. 1 was sim­
ply curious. As the thing approached
It came gradually out of nebula into
the form of a woman. There Was a
certain grace of movement, a lightness
which, mingled with a slight rising and
falling, was confusing. Had the figure
appeared on the water surface I
should have thought my eyes were
transfiguring u sull that was rising and
falling on the waves.
It was only when It came neat
that I distinguished the outline of a
girl's figure—not a summer visitor, one
of plainer mold, doubtless a fisher lassie.
She stopped a few yards from
me, turned and looked out on the
ocean. Th»*«, turning again, without
appearing to notice or care who was in

Their Ides of Right *' *
Those who habitually correct their
children in their faults by whipping
and boxing them, must not be surprised
when they find them s-Viprping
others in return, and rough' and
abusive towards one another. ?They
are'simply trying'to enforce their
own little ideas of right as they have;
seen their elders do. The mother
