THE COURIER. The courier, of course, had his story to tell. He WUK a messenger, and bis mauc was Co-operation. He told bis story to the hoy and girl adventuress, and they listened, for they wanted to hear what he had to say, and they knew that he wanted to help them. "Oh," said the girl to the boy, "did you have a perfectly dreadful time during tlie long hours we were sep arated and afraid each other was lost?" "Dreadful," said the boy, "but it ls over with now. How about you? How did you got along?" "Not so badly," said the girl, for she didn't think lt was quite so dread ful to look back upon as it was when she was going through lt all alone. "How did you know I was safe?" the asked, turning to the courier. "We get these messages," he said, "all through the woods. You see, we .can't control the rules which govern the owners of the House of Secrets. The owners, I might tell you, are the secrets themselves. Each one owns "Ha Waa Tall." a room. But while we can't change things, we couriers, we are messen gers, and we find out where all the adventurers are, even If we don't let them kuow lt. "Now, I was sent out to find the boy. They told me he was doing some fine things. He went in the direction which Joy had told him was the short cut It waa full of trunks of trees, and there were two ravines, and It would seem as though lt would take longer than the smooth road-lt was se fult of obstacles-which are big things that get in the way." "And again I was the one who want ed to go the wrong way," said the girl. "You wanted, it ls true, to go along the road which seemed so well trav eled. You thought surely this time lt was right, and that we were trying to fool you. Sometimes a well-traveled road might be right-lt ls a puzzle. But not this one. "For this one ls well beaten with the tracks of the lasy and the ones who have no cour age. You took the right one, Boy, though you didn't succeed right away, and though otlters Inughed at you." "I didn't succeed nt all," Bald the boy, "I got lost." "Not really," said the courier. "You are one of those people who believe In trying a thing more than once. You didn't mind stumbling. In fact, you were a pretty good sport." . The girl liked to hear the boy praised, and she knew he deserved lt. "I'm going to see that all this trav eling you did gets you nearer the House of Secrets In a shorter time. You really wandered very far away, Girl." "But I don't want to leave the girl," SHld the hoy. "Of course not," said the courier. "He'll have to leave me, for I'll have to go all over tho distance which he went over without me," said the girl sadly. "Not a blt of lt," 'said tho courier. "My mossage to you both is this: I'm going to take you both on my horse-thero ls room, and we'ro going to go along a special road, down which I came this morning. You'didn't no tice lt before. "It was filled with branches and trunks of trees, but they've been cleared away during the night, and a new little road made around the ra vines. 1 have so much to tell you I "Don't imagine I'm going to re ward the boy because ho was good and leave you out because you didn't do the right thing. "You're bound to make mistakes, ni explain. Cornel Mount the horse)" The girl looked at the kindly face of the courier. He wore a green cap which ended In a point, from which dangled three brass bolls. He was tall and rather thin, and from his sleeves and shoulders and the end of his breeches were be'tls dangling from hts handsome green snit "My name," he explained, "is Co-op oration. You see, you must have the spirit of co-operation, in your adven tures. When one of you .makes a mis take, the other mustn't leave and march on alone.

HAS STAYED IN BED 12 YEARS. Hus Grown Two Inches - Doctors Say Bones Have Become Brittle. A dispatch from London undor re cent date, says: After twelve years of lying In bed in a Wost End hotel, a man, other wise normal, and comfortably fixed financially, now resents being an noyed with questions regarding his strange case, and eays: "When London is really civilized peoplo will be able to do OB they please without exciting comment." Twelve years ago, when ho was about 40 years old-handsome and with square shoulders and bright eyes, the picture of he a Uh and vigor -he walked into a hotel In a quiet district and engaged a room. He has been there ver since. The day fol lowing his arrival a lotter came for him, whereupon the visitor retired to his room without giving any ex cuses. He is well connected, and no clouds seem to hang over him. Oc casionally his puzzled relatives visit him and he receives much corres pondence. He receives his callers in bod, and also answers his mail and reads much without leaving his bed. He has the newspapers sent up to him daily, and orders the new books as they come out. Once a month a barber comos out and cuts his hair and trims his scrubby beard. "I am quite contented," he said. "What could I do if I were up and about?" Naturally the long rest has had its effect on his body. The doctor says the bones have become so brit tle through inactivity that it would be necessary for him to move very carefully if he changed hie mode of living. 'His skin seems normal when one's hand is pased down his arm, but a reverse motion reveals a very rough, scaly surface, which ls a re cent development, and which the doctor cannot explain. "Perhaps it is not correct to say that I have been in bed for twelve years," he said. "I go to my bath every morning while my bed ls be ing made, and on two occasions I went down-stairs to the bar." He takes two meals a day, which are served in bed, and he has grown nearly two inches during his twelve years of rest. STOMACH TROUBLE, GASES, INDIGESTION.

WHAT STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL Association it* Doing-Ix an Active Body tho Yotir Hound.' " We are in receipt of a letter from Prof. Wm. S. Morrison, of Clemson College, in which he enclosed tho following interesting matter, taken from tho Spurt an burg Herald, for publication: Tho S. C. S. S. Association. The South Carolina Sunday School Association hus maintained its head quarters in Spartanburg for a good many years, under tho direction aud supervision of men and women cf tho city and State, whoso intelligent and unselfish interest in it is recog nized whore tho work of tho church, regardless bf denominational lines, is dono. Tho association's organiza tion is known in Spartanburg, the people of all churches being in sym pathy with its activities and familiar with its worthy purposes; but at a time when tho association must seek support from tho public lt is, perhaps, well and helpful to con dense Its activities and its purposes in a brief statement. Such a statement, for public in formation on tho ove of the organ ization's public appeal, has boon given tho Herald by Mr. Palmor, the secretary of tho organization. We asked Secretary Palmer this Ques tion : "What does tho South Caro lina Sunday School Association do, and what does it not do?" Ho has answered In tho folowing: ' "1. Holds annually from four] hundred to six hundred interdenom inational Sunday school conventions, reaching tens of thousands of Sun day school superintendents, teach ers, pastors and other workers. At these conventions the best special ists give lectures on modern Sunday school methods, practical workers discuss plans and exchange ideas, thereby learning from one another and helping ono another. "2. Maintanis 'Schools ot Method' fojr Sunday school workers, in the cities, lasting one weok, at which the leading Sunday school experts and Bible scholars of America give lectures. Tho recent School of Meth ods in Spartanburg enrolled 851 ac tual attendants. "3. Conducts a course in religious education throughout the six weeks' session of Winthrop College Sum mer School, for the training of the eight hundred public school teach ers of the State at that summer school, in methods of Sunday school work. Full college credit is given for this course. "4. Maintains a circulating library of over a thousand volumes on Sun day school work and Bible study, for the tree use of all Sunday school workers of all denominations. "5. Supervises 'Beading Courses for Sunday School Workers,' with recognition by the educational com mittee, thus hing the advantage of specialized training to those who cannot attend a summer school or college. "6. Furnishes educational Sunday school exhibits at Stato and county ? fairs annually, showing both the ac tual conditions of Sunday school work and tho necessary imnrovn monts that should bo made in ench community. "7. Promotes a State-wide 'Sun day school evangelism campaign,' with plans and programs for Decis ion Day for each Sunday school, for tho purpose of winning to a definite decision those boys and girls who have not yet become Christians. "What the Sunday School Asso ciation does not do "1. It does not exorcise or claim any authority; all help is given by suggestion, not by authority. "2. Does not Issuo lesson helps, discuss church doctrine, or Interpret Scripture. All that is left to the sep arate denominations. "3. Does not soil anything; has no commercial Interosts." An Admirablo Address. Concerning a recent mooting hold tho Herald has tho following to say: Tho address of tho-ovoning was givon by Dr. W. L. Ball, pastor of tho First Baptist church and chair man of the evangelism committee of tho South Carolina Sunday School Association. Ho hold the closest at tention of his audience as he spoke on "Tho South Carolina Sunday School Association." Debt of Gratitude. "This accclatlon, and the groat Intordonominational Sunday School Association of which lt is a part, have, first of all, a very real place .In our hoarts',' he said. "Every one of us hero to-night owes a debt of gratitude to this movement. I sus pect that nearly every ono of us, If we would go back far enough, would find that some influence from tho International Sunday School Asso ciation played a part in leading him or her to Christ. "The special Sunday school work of our separate denominations is due, in very large measure, to the Initiative and tho fine work done by THUNK JACKSON SOLDIERS I?

Every denomination owes a boundless and incalculable debt of .gratitude to,jula great Christian movement. ? "I doubt if thore is any institution in this State that is having more to do with the moulding and shaping of the religious life and thought of our State than our South Carolina State Sunday School Association. The place of the association to-day is larger than ever before; we are connected with a very llvo and grow ing Institution. , "Not only the place, but the per sonnel of this asociation, is impres sive. Think of tho great-hearted Christian mon and women in all de nominations who began this move ment, and of the countless thous ands scattered throughout the State to-day, in city, town and rural ham lot, who aro giving to it their de voted service. Tho best people of South Carolina aro interested in the Sunday school work. The Sunday school workers of all denominations of this State uro identified with this movement, and I certainly hope and pray that they will be for many years to come. In Pino Fellowship. "To-morrow us we go to our task of raising tho budget of thia asso ciation, let us remember that we are in the finest fellowship in this State; alongside of us are tho State's best mon and women. And lot us not for get to pray; we speak that word too lightly; it should play a larger part in our lives. "The amount which wo are to raise-six thousand dollars-ls a mere trifle. Indeed, the entire State budget of twonty-sovon thousand dollars ls but a trifle compared to what it should bo. When we think of the fact that ono denomination alono in this State is spending twen ty-five thousand dollars a year on Its denominational Sunday school work we ought to spond, not twonty-sovon thousand, but one hundred thousand dollars on this great Sunday School Association work for all denomina tions."
