At each side of the door was a thin mar ble slab with a list of name? of the in mates of the building. In its appropriate numerical place she found that of her possible employer, over the words, uReaJ Estate/' Mr. Allison's office ? outside of which she presently paused with a fluttering of the heart and a short ne3s of breath due wholly to excitement ? was on the third Sight, in a cozy corner at the end of a long, narrow hallway. At the moment i- the temptation to flee became almost ir resistible, but knowing hesitation would be her join, she drew a long breath, and pushing open the doer, crossed the * threshold. It wa3 a large, clean, airy . room, well furnished and carpeted, and ? it looked more inviting taan she had ex pected. From beiu??l a, desk ? of tie kiad known "roll-top" ? came a ectetching sound, whicb, with a little turt ot hair visible over the top, showed the presence of the occupant. As she made a step or two forward tflb scratching ceased, and the connection became apparent between the tuft of hair and ? head, the owner where?x straightened back in Iris chair and j wheeled: about so that 3he could see - him. \ \ , She thought him about thirty years ' old, though the fall brown beard he ? ttti" -n VifnmiTT^y mad? it difficult to tell bis age with accuracy.

" ' Morton made do reply, but Millie shanced to look v.p jug then, and a he: raa much startled at the reflection:?! lis face, presented by a mirror hangiag* i >a the opposite wall. . Plainly Mr. Aliisott's words had not leased him, lor the expression oa his lark features vividly illustrated rage ind disappointment. When Mr. Allison sat down again Morton had folly recovered himself to all outward appearance, and after a little ? acre conversation in too low a tone for her to understand it, he went awaj. In the afternoon Mr. Allison astonished ? his clerk by asking if >he though she jould take sole charge of the office for a 3ay or two. He was going to Boston at ! 5ve o'clock, and could not tell just when | he should return. Had .she d?red she would have tried io dissuade him from going, for she was ?ure the result of his journey would be ; ;o put a large part ofhi?- property in Norton's hands. She 'did not speak ! ;hen, bat she was so uaeasy she deter j .nined to watch for an opportunity of doing so. By and by he happened to look up tnd see her eyes resting on him, with an >xpression which caused him to leave his jesK and come to her side. "What is it, Mil ? Miss Thorndyke?" ! be asked in a tone she had never heard him use before; "you have something to say to me.'' "I ? I ? yes," she stammered, and then itopped short. She had not yet over come a habit of flushing up whenever he addressed her ?a habit not at all un becoming in his eyes, though it was painfully confuting to her. Wiiile he was waiting for her to re-\ sever herself the office door opened,. at * which he stepped back with an air of annoyance, and, turning, confronted Morton. Millie's chance was lost, for I Morton stayed until train time, and the two gentlemet* went out together. "I will leave the safe for you to lock," said Mr. Allison, in giving his final directions. "You know how ? ehilt the door hard to, turn the handle that ; works the bolts until it is square across, land then turn the knob two or three times toward the left." After he was jjone she reproached her self more than ever that she had Hot spoken the warning that had been at her tongue's end. It could have done no harm, and would at least have put him on his guard. But regrets were useless, and she could only hope, rather for' lomly, that all might turn out well. Being in a somewhat disturbed state ; of mind, and having no work to do, she j tried to compose herself with a new book left in the office' by Mr, Ailison, and she found it so interesting she was loth to lay it down at 5 o'cloek, the hour | of closing. As her supper would not be ready before 6 :30, and her quarters at j present were comfortable and quiet, she determined to stay a while longer, ~$rs: taking care to lock the door that she might be secure from interruption. j As she was aboat to settle down she thought of the safe. She never before had had occasion to lock a safe door, . and carefully followed Mr. Allison's directions. "Ob, how heavy!" she exclaimed, tugging at the ponderous weight, as she drew it back for a long swing. "He sa d I must shut it hard to," and exert ing all her strength, she closed the door with a bang. Then she shot the bolce and turned the knob until a significant little click told her all was secure. , "There; now everything is fast," sh< j' said. And so it was, even more so than sh* : thought, for in turning away a quici ' tug at her gown caused her to loos down, when she saw with dismay sh( ; had 3hut into the safe a part oi one o: the fold* of her skirt. One or two ineffectual pulls show?3 that toe iron monster could not be made - to give up its gTip until its j*wa were forced apart ? in other words until th< door was opened ? which, as she neither knew the combination nor had the nee . essary strength, was of course out of th<? question. Had her gown been aa old one sh? might hare freed herself by tearing th? cloth, bat, it being a new and verj pretty garment, she was unwilling hasti * ly to offer it violence. She thought o calling for help, yet what would i serve? ' While she wa*jfc?ying to devise somr means of drawing herself oat of her di lemma, she heard a sound of approach ing footsteps, which stopped outside th< door, and were followed by the rattle o a key in the keyhole. Then she remembered with consterna tion that she bad locked the door anc the key was in the lock to the exclusion of any other. "Was eveT anything so stupid?'' sbi exclaimed. "I have walked into a com plete trap. I can't get out and no on? ??se can get in." rhe person outside having probal^l; guessed the reason of his nonadmission, now kocked on the door and asked whc was within. To her unbounded surprise and relief she. recognized the voice of i Mr. Allison. But how could she let him in? On? way presented itself to her ? it seemed the only one. She did not hesitat* long- A few movements of her nimbi* nnger?; the bonds fell away and sh< ' quickly crossed the room. "Mr. Allison," sbs called, "I am go- j i&^toufclock the door now, but you n$ust not come in for a minute." YThen, turning the key, she hurried b^ck to the safe, and reversing the littie operation she hid just gone through, was a^aih a prisoner. When Mr- A1U- : son entered he1 looked at?ber with much surprise, as well he might; but h? compre^eadei^the situation even bsfore she began to explain. ^'How careless of me to leave so un ! wieldy an affair for you to manage!" tw ex^aimei, sel'-reproachfuily. "Had not come back I should never have for given myseif, though I scarcely thought ^?rt?ferru33te when I founi I must loai my tram on account of the ktsy to mj box in the safe deposit vaults, which j forgot to take with me/' ! : While he wa* speaking she mover aside out of his way, an 1 a hill-dozen rapid tufas of the little kno'j enabled him to throw back the bolts. "I hope I shall never do anything quite so foolish as that again," said Millie, with a nervous little laugh, a? she wit ldrew her imprisoned skirt, uk smoothed the creased fold. 4*if you ever should chance to meet with similar misfortune, may I be nea? at hand to come to the rescue," he rc turned, smiling. At 6:15, so he told her, he intended t< take the next train for Boston, thoujl he seemed in no hurry to get away evi Tently preferring the society of his e'er], to a lonely wait at the railway station. 6 To her surprise he took pains to mak? himself agreeable, and she was compeiie l to admit he caold be very agreeabN when be chose. The littie incident that Had just occurred had suddenly changed their relations to etch other and ad vanced them to something like in \ timacj. She was very glad of this, for she had determined to free her mind about Morton at any cost, and now she felt : only a small part of her former reluct ance. jUJ&08?v ?h* began at ths firs? opportunity, "before you "went out you | iskbd if I had anything to say to you. t had and did not dare say it.1' "Indeed, Miss Thorndyke! Am U ?hen, the object of so much dread?" "Oh, no, sir," she answered, looking lown at the carpet, not quite able to ? meet his eyes just then, 1 *on!y I feared | you might think me impertinent or : ! officious." . j "Net m the least, that would be lm oossibie," he assured her. _ i "I want to know if you think? that j 1 is, if you are quite sure? -Mr. Morton is i ; wholly trustworthy?" He was surprised. He looked at her j ' twice before replying. ^ _ | "Your question implies you think j I him otherwise. He came to me highly j recommended, and he is the agent of a j company in which some of the heaviest j business men in New York are closely ? interested. Why do you doubt j i him?" ^ { For reply she told him what she had ; jeen in Morton's behavior that morning i i to excite her suspicions. He listened ; j attentively, and she saw her words were t making an impression. " From parts of your conversation I could not avoid hearing,** she said in j conclusion. "I have inferred you mean ? to s^ve some money into his charge. It j is because I feel so sure he ought not to j be trusted with it that I speak." Before she could say more some one ! oanae-dOwn the passageway outside and presently opened the office door. Mr. Allison started up, and received from the boy who entered a telegraphic message. As he read it a curious look came ovei his face, and in a moment he handed it to her without a word. It was dated in ^few York and ran thus: Stop negotiations wi'a Morton; have dis covered crookeine?3. M. L. Sc Co. She could well afford a feeling ol .satisfaction as she read these words, and there might have been a little of the "I told you so" in the look she gave him a i she returned him the paper. "Yes," he said iu answer to the look; honor where honor is due, alwayB. I admit the superior keenness of your penetration, and it has perhaps saved m3 the half of my fortune, for which I am very thankful to you. I did not guess I had engaged a clerk who would watch so well over my interests, and see what I W83 blind to. Such devotion deserves much better reward than I can offer. "Miss Thorndyke? Millie," he pur sued, changing to a more serious tone . and speaking with marke.i hesitation, "may I ask if you would deign to? to fill a more important position than you have held? ? tnar? oi? of ? equal part ner?" He had been long enough in saying it, but there was no mis taking his meaning. Millie was too much astonished to speak. "At least, I may believe my case not quite hopeless?" he ventured, after wait ing in vain for a word. When she found courage to meet the handsome blue eyes looking down at her so tenderly, the last of her doubts was swept away; .then she knew her love now awakening to a fuTler life, had been bore long before; and he, reading from th< detphs of her heart what words coulc not have told half so eloquently, claspet with his strong arms tjxe treasure he n< longer feared to call his own. ?

I think I hear the voice of Christ commanding us, as He di 1 Simon on that day when bright* Galilee set in among the groen hills ot Palestine, like water flashing in an emeraidcup, "Launch out into the deep." This divine counsel comes flrat to all tho3i who are pa idling]* the margin of Bible re search. My father read the Bible through three times after he was eighty yevs of ags ? and without spectacles? not for tha mere purpose of saying he bai been throa/h it s"> often, but for his eternal Droftt. John Wolby, the brother-in law of Daniel Webster, . learned to rea I after he was eighty-fouc years of age in order that he Height become acquainted with the Seriptures^ There is no book in the world that demand* ^o much of our attention as the Bible. Yatjiine tenths of Christian men get no more than ankle deep. They think io is a gooi sign not to venture too far. Taey never as'c how ar why. and if they see som3 Christian becom ing inquisitive about the deep things of <*jl they say: (,3e carefu-; you had bettsr not go out do far from sbore." My answer is: The farther you go fron shore the better if you have the ri^ht kind of stfip. -If you have woridly philojophy for the hulk, and pride for a sail, an i saff con ceit for the helm, the first squall will destroy you. But if you take the Bible for your craft, tbe farther you go the better, and after you have gone ten thousanl furlongs Christ will still co.nmn.ad, "Lauaoli out into the deep/' Ask sorno such question a* "Who is God?' ani goon for ten years asking it. Ask it at the g its of every parable; amid tbe excitemeut of every' miracle; by the soli tariness of every patriarchal thrashing floor; amid toe waite faces oH S'a'iacherib's slain turned up into tne moonlight; amid the fly ing chariots of the Got len City, i Ask who Jesus is, and keep on asking ifc ' of every Bible li y, of every raven, of every star, of everv crrtz id brain cured, of every blind man co ne to sunlight, of every com in a fish's moutb, of every loaf that got to be five loaves, of every wrathful sea pacified, of every pulseless ar u stretcned torth in gi'atulatioo; ask it of His mother, of Augustus, of Herod, of the Syro Phoenician woman, of the damsel that woke up from the death s!e=p, of Joseph, who had Him buried, of the angel po3tel us sentiuei ht His tonat>. of the dumb earth that SflQOi ana groanea and thundered when He dv?d. A missionary in France offered a Bible in an humble dwelling. The man took it, tore out a dozen pages and with tbem began to light bis pipe, fc'ome years after the mission ary happened in the same house The family had just lost tfceir son in the Crimean war, j and his Bible bad been sent back home. The missionary took it up and saw that it was ! the very same Bible that he had left in the ; house and from which the leaves bad been j torn. The dying soldier had written on one of the leaves nf < the Bible, "Rejected and scoffed at, but finally believed in and saved.'* 1 The Bible may be used to light the pipe of witticism by some, but for us it. is a staff in life, a pillow in death and oar joy for eter ritv. Walk all up and down thia Bible domain! Try every path. Plunge in at the prophe cie s an J com? out at the eoistler. Go with the patriarchs until you meet tb? evange lists. Rummage and raosiclc, a* children wiio are not sa'isfied when thiy come to a new bouse unti. they know what is in every room and into what every door op?ne. Open every jewel casket. Examine the ckyIigJt?. Forever b.? ssking questions. Put to a higher use than was intends 1 the oriental proverb; "Hold all the skirt; of thy mantle extended when h?aven is raining fcoM." Passing from Bmn to Cob!sntz on the Rhine, the scenery is comparatively time. But lrorn Coblen" z to May^nse iti<* enchant - in?. You sit on -"'eck and fee' n? if this last flash of beauty mu?t exhaust the ^ceae; bu": in a moment th?re is a turn o the river, which covers uptke former view with more luxuriant vineyard?, an! mor.* defiant castles, ani bolder bluffs, vine wr?ath?i. and grapes so ripe that if the hilU be touched they would blee.V their rich life away into the bowls of Bingen and Hock beimer. Here and there there are streams of Jarater melting into the river, like smaller joy* swallowed in the bosom of a great gtedness. And when night begins to throw its black mantle over the shoulder of the hills, ani you are approaching disembarkation at ilayence, the lights along the shore fairly bewitch the scene with their beauty, giving one a thrill that he feels but onoe, yet that lasts him forever So this river of GxT* word is not a straight stream, but a winding splendor? at every turn new wonders to at tract, still riper vintage pressing to the brink and crowded with cistles of strength ? Sto!z eofels ani Johannisberger as notbinz com pared with thffstrong tower into which the righteous run and are savel? ani our disecn larkation at last in the evening amid the lights that gleam from tue shore of naaven. The trouble is that to? vast majority of Bible voyages stop tX Cobleotz, where the chief g'<mesh*fluu_l The sea ofGbd's Word is hot like Gen nessaret, twelve miles by six. but bound less, and in any one direction you can sail on forever. Why then confine yourself to a short TSiim or to a few ver3es of an epistle? The largest fls'a are not near the shore. Hoist all sail to the win Is of heaven. Take bold of both oars ani pull away. Ba like some of the whalers that went out from y-&w Bedford or P^r:s nouth to !>e gone for two or three yearr. Yea, calculate on a lifetimevoyaga. You do not want to land until youlanl in heaven'. Sail a war. O ya mariner?, for eternity I Liurrih out /into the deep! The text is appropriate to all Christians of shalfew experience.

The arrange, ments were made before you started. 8o Umst purchases y*ur pardon. He puts the Tapers, or the promises; mto your hand. !# it wise to stop and say, "I cannot pay for my redemption*" G<xi does not ask you to {.ay. Relying on what has been done, launch out into the deep. The Bible's promises join hands, and the circjd they make will compass all your sin*, and a.l vour temptations, and all your sor T r0UQd teble of King Arthur and his knights had room for oniy thirteen ban queters, but the round table of God's supply is large enough for all the present inhabit ants of earth and heaven to sit at, and for the still mightier populations that are yet to be. I>o not sail coastwise along your old habits and old sins. Ke?p clear of the shore. Go out where the water is deepest. Ob, for tbe mid sea of God's mercy ! "Be it known unto you, men and 1 rethren. that through this Man is preached unto you forgivecesa of sins." I preach it with as much confidence to the eighty -year- old transgressor at to the maiden. Though your sins were blood red they shall be snow white. Tbe more ragged the prodigal, the more companionate the Father. Do you say that you are too bad* The high water mark ot God's pardon is higher than all your transgressions. "The blood of Jesus Christ cleaneeth from all sin." Do you say that your heart is basd* Sup pose it were ten times harder. Do yon ssy that your iniquity is long continued* Sup> pose it were ten times longer. Do you say that your crimes are black* 8uppoee that they were ten time3 blacker. Is there any lion that this S lmson cannot slay? Is there any fortress that this Conqueror cannot take* Is there any sin that this Redeemer cannot pardon? It is said that when Charlemagne's host was overpowered by the three armies of tbe Saracens in tbe pass of Roncervallee his warrior, Ro'and, in terrible earnestness seized a trumpet and blew it with such ter rific stroigth that the opposing army reeled back with terror, but at the third blast of the trumpet it broke in two. I see your soul fiercely assailed by all the powers of earth and heiJ. I put the mightier truropet of the Gospel to my lips and I blow it three times. Blast the first? "Whoaoever will let him come." Bla*t the second->'Saeic ye the Lord while He may be/Whnd." Blast the third? -"Now js tbe accepted time; now is the day of salvation." Does not tbe host of your rins fall back? But.the trumpet does not, like that of Roland, break in two. As it was handed down to us from the lips of our father?, we hand it down to the lips of our children, and tell them to found it when we ar a dead that all the gen erations of men may know that our God Is a pardoning God? a sympathetic God? a lov ing God? an i that more to Him than the anthems ot heaven, more to Him than the throtie on which He sita; more to Him than are the temples of celestial worship is the joy of seeing the wanderer putting his han1 on the door latch of his Father's bous?.
