The young men had rcsde grost preparations for their fishing trip into the Indian Territory, and their disappointment was deep when, on the very morning they were to start, the lawyer whom they all liked told them he could not go. . To make the matter worse, his explanations were very lame and unsatisfactory. It was evident that he had given up the trip for some reason which he hesi tated to name. As a last resort the others wont in a body-six of them-to his ofiioe, and demanded that he tell them ex actly why he had deserted, when ho had been most enthusiastic in plan ning the outing. "If you're really to understand it," he said, "1 have to begin with my own boyhood. My father-the best father, I think, that a boy ever had always showed me a tenderness whioh, even as a child, I knew was somehow different from the love whioh my playmates had from their parents. It was not until I was per haps fourteen years old that he told me why this was so. "Although he himself lived a most exemplary life, his father, his father's father and two of his uncles had been drunkards. The taste of liquor he believed to be hereditary iu our fam ily, and in me he had recognized many traits he himself possessed, and whioh he had made his own life a long fight against the habit of drink. He pointed out the danger that lay before me, and begged me to give him my promise never under any circumstances to touoh liquor. .It is your safety,' he said. 'Unless you make this resolution, and have the strength to keep it, the odds will be fatally against yon ; like myself, you are easily influenced by . others. If I thought that to-morrow you were to take your first drink I should pray to God that you might die to day.' "Of course I promised. He' had had never talked to me in that way before, and, of course, it made an im pression on me. I was frightened, and for several years I kept my promise. Then I went with some fellows on an all-day fishing trip While we were eating our luncheon one of our number, a boy whom wc all admired, took a bottle of whiskey from his pocket, drank from it and passed it to his next neighbor Thc bottle went round the oirole, ior nc one dared to refuse to follow George Reitz's lead. When it came to me ] tried to pass it on without drinking but the others began to tease anc ridioule me, until, from sheer cow ardice, I took the drink. A seconc and a third followed, and I began tc realize that I liked the stuff, anc wanted more of it. My father'i warning flashed across my mind : " 'If you take one drink you maj be forever lost.' "The rest of the day pass?e wretchedly enough, and I was glac when it was time to start for home When I readied the house I founc that my father, whom I had loft ii good health in the morning, wa lying at tho point of death. He hac had a sudden attack of heart disease They told me ho was anxious to se me alone, and with a breaking heart I entered the room. He could no move and oould hardly speak, but a I took his hand and bowed my heat upon it, crying, he smiled ten derly and lovingly on me. When grow calmer he spoko, although th effort was painful to witness : " 'Be strong-mother's sake-m sake-kiss me.' "As I bent down to kiss him h noticed tho odor of liquor on m breath. I shall never forgot th look of agony and despair in hi eyes. " 'My poor, lost, boy !' ho groaned and theso were his last words. "Since that day, God helping mi I have never touched a drop < liquor. But I know my woaknes I don't dare to expose myself to tb .temptation, and I never knowing! go where liquor is to be used. Tn morning, while tho provision wage was being loaded, 1 saw that sona one had sent along a oase of whiske Forgive me, boys ; I'm not preaoi ing nor finding fault with yon, bi you see now why I oan't go. "You oan and shall go, spoke ti the judge, who had provided tl case of liquor, "for the whiskey going to stay here." So the lawyer went, and a jollic healthier, happier outing none of tl men ever bad.-The Missionary. A GUARANTEED CURE FOB FIL1 Itohing, Blind, Bleediug, Protrudi Piles.
