ICopyrtght, IMS. by Am.-rlcat) Pr?m? Ano
After spending ten years In India ??
n missionary 1 returned to America to
recuperate from the effect* of tbc In
dian climate. Arrivlug tn June. 1 went
on the 1st of July to a region of high
altitude In order to pet the benefit of a
? raring air. 1 found the change very '
Ix'iieticlal. Instead of the hot Indian
air I breathed an Invigorating atmon
phere. Ft\>m the date of my arrival 1
gained strength.
At N . not far distant, there was a
church, and some of the congregation,
bearing Uiat n woman missionary was
at our hotel. seut me word that If I
would give them some account of inj
work the next Sunday afternoon they
would take up a collection for my mis- J
?km. I h cepted and Sunday morning
set out to walk to N Those who had
Invited me offered to send for me. but
I preferred to walk.
1 had made half the distance when I
overtook a woman walking In the
8ii me direction. I ant one of tho^e who
take every opportunity to save a soul,
so 1 a'vosted Iter. She was fairly well
dressed and resist able looking, and
after a few remarks al>out the fresh
ness of the country and the deep blue
of the^ky 1 entered on the subject In
which 1 was and am ab?orl>ed. To ar
test her attention I t>egan by telling
her about my life a* a missionary. She
seemed much luteresied- Indeed, so in
terested that whenever I attempted to
lend her to the subject of her own
spiritual condition she would not per
mit. holding me to what to her was the
more attractive subject. Thinking It a
pxxl opportunity to rehearse what I
Intended to say in the afternoon. I did
so. When I had finished the woman
asked me a number of personal ques
tions. such as my name and whether I
had met any of those 1 was about to
address. 1 told her my name and said
1 bad never seen a single person of the
congregation or indeed any one at N.
She remarked that she should think I
would be embarrassed at speaking to
strangers, and 1 replied that I was a
trifle timid In doing so.
As we walked on the woman at a
place where the path was narrow fell
behind me. Suddenly 1 felt both my
wrists clasped iu a firm grip, and be
fore 1 realized It they were bound to
gether at my back with a handker
chief. My companion, who had done
this, tlten forced tne on my back on
the ground. l*>th arms l>elng under me,
and, tearing my underskirt, she made
cords of It and bound my ankles. Hav
ing done this, she put me on her shoul
der and carried me Into a wood so far
from the road that I would not be
see u, put a gag In my uiouth. sat tne
on a log and, making curds of other
parts of niy clothing. l>ound tne to a
tree growing against It. Then she left
me. telling me not to worry, for she
would come buck to tne before sunset
the same evening
There was nothing for me to do but
wait. If the woman did not come back
I would starve, if 1 was compiled to
stay even one night In the position she
had placed me I would surely l>c a
wreck N-fore morning. 1 wondered
what could be her object Suddenly It
occurred to me that I had heard of a
large Insane asylum In the neighbor
hood. Might she not 1h> an escaped
lunatic? I did not doubt that she was
and that <he would probably forget all
about tne The thought was madden
lUtion.)
Inc. .
For a (hue I was not a bodily suf
ferer. lint after awhile sitting in the
s.ime |M>sltlon without I ?clue able to
change became wj painful. My
watch wus in m\ Mt, but 1 could not
see it. 1 wlslied (hat I might In order
to know how fnsi or rather how slow
ly the lime wan passing. That the wo
man had not taken it convinced me
that she wu not a thief, but Insane.
There was some comfort In this. for If
she nas not responsible for her acts
her Immortal soul was not in peril.
True to her promise. Just Iwfore sun
set she returned to tne and asked
whether If she unbound tne I would
go back from whence I cauie without
attempting to Injure her. I was clad
enough to promise, and, looseulng the
cords, she helped tne on to my feet,
gave me her arm and conducted me to
the road. We had gone but a short
distance when, ht-arhiK wheel* belilud
us. she said she would secure me a
ride 011 my again prom! sing not to
divulge what she had done. 1 prom
ised. aud she seemed to feel assured
that I would keep my word. A funuer
in a buggy drove by. aud the woman
asked him if he would give mo a lift
lie consented, drove me to within a
short distance of my hotel, and I
walked the rest of the way. reaching
tt after all had gone to t<ed.
The next day I was uot in a condi
tion to leave my room. Some ladles
In the house wore very kind to me,
though I needed to bo left alone. I
t\ as too wrought upon to tell any one
?f the experience I had passed through
?i ml hud no desire to punish the woman
for wlmt she had done, especially a* i
considered her demented.
After resting twenty-four hours I
awoke refreshed and ablo to look over
my mall, which arrived after break
f -t Among uiy letters was one from
tl <? vestry of the church at X. saying
that tlsoj bad met and passed a rot*
of thanks for my admirable address
ou the preceding Sunday.
1 was paralyzed with astoulshmeut.
As soon hh I wns able I was driven
to N., where 1 learned that the woman
who had bound me had appeared In
my stead nt the church, delivered my
address, taken the largest offering col
lected In many months and Insisted 1n
setting out to walk alone back to my
hotel. She was never heard from.
