Abel Darrow bad two appurte nances that were prominent and pe culiar to himself-a wooden leg and a i lawsuit. Tlie false limb was old, clumsy and splintery, for he could not , afford an artificial one. The lawsuit also was frayed and worn and weak, for the reason, Abel declared, that ho did not have the capital to push lt to a conclusion. Abel worked In n bank, and his du ties, like himself, were erratic. He had charge of the waste paper depart ment of the Institution. Abel lived lu a garret room of a boarding bouse kept by a Mrs. Smith. Miss Eva Tracey llv?d at tho same place. She was a stenographer, and through two years almost every day Abel had bowed to her as they met on the stairway or at thc table. One evening he came to know the pretty maid very much better, how ever, and lt was a bright spot in his dreary life. After supper Abel repaired to the parlor to pass the evening. He found a book In a chair and began reading lt. He had been thus engaged for a few minutes when Miss Tracey enter ed the room. Ho nodded to her, and then, aa he observed her looking about from place to place, remarked: "I think you HIV? looking for a book I pteked up, Miss Tracey."' "Only to tnko tt to my room," was tho reply, "?ut I have read lt, and you are welcome to tho use of lt." That broke tho Ice. She sat down near to him. Tho conversation drift ed on pleasantly. Flnnlly she said: "I have often wondered what bo enme of the young man who seemed so Intimate with you when I first came to the hoarding house here." "You mean Robort Burton?" spoke Mr. Darrow, n shade first gloomy, then sorrowful coming Into his fnco. "Yea, I-I think that was bis name. In fact, I am sure of lt. I-I knew him slightly," and Eva flushed deeply. "I thought him my best friend," ex plained Abel, and something Uko a sob choked clear utterance. "I was grossly deceived. I loved him ns a father and helped him to his feet when he was penniless and friendless, ond-he sold mo out." "Oh, Mr. Darrow I" exclalmod Eva, growing deathly pale. "It ennnot bol" "Did ho also deceive you?" ho nak ed bluntly. "Oh, no-that is-I knew him, we were friends. I learned to esteem him and-he went away so abruptly I-I have often thought of him," fluttered Eva. "ne ls unworthy of your thought," persisted Abel. "I'm sorry to say lt, but lt Is true. As you must know, three years ago I lost n limb In n ma chino while In the service of Wllllnm Lane & Co. Lane witnessed the acci dent and knew it was due to the care lessness of the Arm. He offer.ed mo a trifle to settle, which I refused. I brought suit for $10,000. It ts now pending. One evening he came to my room here with a new offer. T lnughed nt lt. Robert Burton heard him. In a trial hts evidence might bolp me. A week Inter Robert disap peared. "I know that Mr. Lane went west for his health, young Burton went with him ns an attendant. Can't you see how lt ls-the boy I so loved has gone over to the enemy ! They havo bribed bim to remain out of tho field ns n witness In my behalf." "I can't understand lt nt all," sighed Eva. "He was so grateful to you, ho was so kind to everybody." Three evenings later Eva met Abel nt the door of tho parlor. Rho drew him within the room. Her oyes were rod With weeping, her fnco colorless end traversed with anguish. "Rend," she said sadly, and handed a newspaper to Abel, pointing to an Item on ono of its pages. According to that, Wllllnm Lone ?\nd Robert Burton, traveling In the far west, had started to cross an nrld desert stretch and had not been seen since. They were supposed to hnvo miserably perished In n sudden sand storm that had come up. The blow prostrated Abel, no wns not equal to geing to work the next dny.

"What ! goiiiR without shaking hands with me?" Robert asked. "You who have boen a comforter and support to my dear old friend. Mr. Darrow ?" He relieved her of the tray and held her hands till they trembled and her cheeks were a lovely carnation pink. "I have come back to give my old benefactor new life and hope, and to say to you-listen, dear, 1 should have said lt the day I left you-T love you." Slie stood swaying, overcome, but happy. "I have brought to our friend a doc ument that will win him his case," explained Robert. "1 lured William Dane Into tho desert purposely.

I forced him to sign a written confession which ho dare not gain say, and-'stick to tho ship,' old friend, for you aro bound for a suro, safe port."

Wo haye beard of n woman who wondered what she could do for the Lord, since shu was not gifted ns others. One tiny, In looking over the death notices lu tlie newspaper, lt occurred to her that sho might send cards con taining messages of sympathy, or oven write such messages, to some of those bereaved. Wo may well covet her reward in the day of Christi Tho same spirit, of sanctifying our correspondence, ls Illustrated in the case of tho aged apostle John, us he writes to tho "elect lady* whom he addresses lu his second epistle, from which our text ls token. First of all, he says ho would not write with wiper und Ink, implying the unsatisfactory character of tills method of communication when be hus ninny things to say. If we should al low our imagination to run, we might conclude that, since papyrus, which was used In writing, was expensive, tho apostle could not alford lo write long letters! Again, we might easily picture bim writing laboriously In lils old ugo and so milking ids epistle brief. How human lt makes him and how near to us lt brings him! All of which may cause us to rejoice that, in tho providence of God, the invention of printing was brought about at the time of the Protestant Reformation, thus enabling the common people to possess tho word ol' God. Speaking Face to Face. John desires to speak to tho elect lady "face to face." It has sometimes been suggested that, because of tho spread ol' books, preaching will lose Its popularity. It hus been well re plied that this will be tho case when conversation ls supplanted by corre spondence. However, coimiiunlcatlug by "paper und Ink" ls no moro satis fying now than in the days of tho apostle, and we still yearn to talk to one another "face to face." And may wo not apply lt to our relations to our Lord? Sweet ls the fellowship we now have with Him through His word, but In His presence will be fulness of Joy. "Oh, tba blessed Joy of moetlog-r All thu doaort peet I Oh, i?.II wondrous words of greeting ito nh all speak at luBti" In closing, John says: "The chil dren of thy elect sister greet thee." This may be considered as a communi cation by proxy, Just as we have had those by writing and in person. Some hnve considered lt trivial to think of John conveying tho greetings of chil dren to their aunt. But we cannot feel that way about lt Indeed, the sim plicity, tho gentleness, and the power of attracting the affections of the young, which aro Involved, suggest to us the maturity hi snbitllness of the apostle whom Jesus loved. Possibly, some of t?cese children were small, and wo shall not forget that when Jesus would Illustrate true gentleness in tho kingdom of heaven, He set n Utile child In tho midst and bade Uis disci ples become Uko him. John had, by graco, attained to chlldllkenesa Longfellow and the Children. John T. Trowbridge, tho well-known writer, tells of a visit to lils home by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Whoa Mr. Longfellow heard tho children, he called for them. They were somewhat ovornwod by his groy hair, beard and venerable aspect, but ho soon put thom at ease by saying: "Where nre your dolls? I want you to show mo your dolls 1 Not the Une ones you keep for com pany, but those you love best and play With every day." They had soon brought their shabby little fnvorltes with battored noses, and wero eagerly telling him their names and histories, while bo questioned thom with an In I terest which won their hearts. Mr. Trowbridge could only think of Him who said, "Suffer tho little children to como unto mo." May tho Lord sanctify all our human relationships as those of tho Apostle of Lovo were sanctified I God's Help Necessary. In Theo, thcreforo, Lord God, I put all my hope and refuge, on Thee I ro pose all my tribulation and anguish: for I find all to be Inllrm and unstable whatever I behold out of Thoo. For neither will many friends nvail wo, nor strong helpers bring mo succor, nor wiso counsellors give nn useful an swer, nor books of learned men con?

Said to bo Responsible for Twenty Per Cont Forest Fires bi Wost. Washington, D. C., April 29. Twenty per cont of all the foreBt Ares started by man in tho national for ests of tho West during 1921 were caused by careless tobacco smokers, according to figures compiled by tho forest service, United Statos Depart ment of Agriculture. In California, Arizona and Now Mexico ono out of every four forest fires due to human agencies was started by burning cig arettes, cigars, niatchoB or pipe-heels carelessly thrown asido by smokers while in tho woods. In othor parts of the Wost tho percentage of smok ers' fires ranged from 12 to 18 per cent. Tho total number of forest fires on tho western national forests during tho past season was 5,131, of which number 1,444 wore caused by lightning, 732 by smokers and 2,955 by othor human agencies. A Serious Firo Hazard. Careless smokers, foresters point out, are responsible for ono of tho I most serious Uro hazards lu tho coun j try, because they fall to tako proper precautions with burning tobacco i and matches.

POINTERS ON PORK .I- PRODUCTION. ,4. ?|? ?J? *|? ?|? ?J? oj? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?|? ?J? ?J? ?I? ?J? Clemson College, April 27. - At the recent meeting of tho South Car olina Livestock Association rrof. L. V. Starkey, chief of tho animal hus bandry division of donison College, discussod "Pork Production," and tho following are some of tho points emphasized by him: 1. Tho most outstanding present need of South Carohna livestock men is good fences. 2. Forage crops are absolutely necessary for economical pork pro duction. If our forage crops aro ta ken away, wo havo no chance to compote with tho corn belt men. 3. Shade and frosh water are in dispensable for hog raising in this State. 4. It is very Important to select tho right sort of foundation stuff; by proper selection In tho beginning a breeder may accomplish moro than he can In ton years' work trying to build up an Inferior foundation bord. 5. Herds should bo kept free from llco, barns free from dust, and ovory whero freo from stagnant hog wal lows. 6. Sows that are fed well about 10 days boforo breeding will produce larger litters than if scantily fed at this time. 7. Profits aro closely related to tho number of pigs each sow raises. lt is highly important to raise a large per cent of tho pigs that are far rowed. 8. While it is true that, generally speaking, wo can do with a small amount of shelter, In tho long run wo must preparo tor tho worst, bo cnuse our hogs cannot oudure tho cold spring rains without shelter and good bedding. 9. The "soft pork" problem ls yet unsolved. At tho present timo South 'Carolina hogs aro soiling "hard" and it ls highly important that we keep thom selling "hard." For this reason wo should not bo too enthusiastic over peanuts as a hog feed-nt least not until wc have gotten some data to prove that peanuts will make pork cheaper than corn. 10. We must gel our livestock to market at lower transportation cost. A load of cattle sold recently by this college cost 58 cents por hundred fi eight to Baltimore, while the rate from Chicago to Baltimoro ls 54 cents for tho much greater distance.
