When niglit came he said to me, after we I)lul separated from the rest: "This Is no time for sleep, TJiorne; we must watch through the night, whether you like it or not. if it is only tor Miss Lascelies' snkc." 1 readily agreed to this, and for an hour we walked on a part, of the lawn from which I could see Kd^fcis window. Then the rain, which had neon drizzling for ? sometime, fell heavily, and forced us to go in. We changed our boots for slippers, and nil \ r myself in the book, but iny thoughts^,?w confused. the type swum before J",,y pycs, and helped to bemuse my MOP.'nos. At length I put down the book, ami shaking my wits togethor, I said to Van Hoccta^ 1 \ "Let us talk." \ "Talk!" ho muttered, scornfully; "why t not ask mo to sing you a comic song? If | the Kid were hero I suppose you wouldn't u want ino to umuso you. You could keep Sl awake until tliroo or four in tlio morirnit in watching her. hut as it's only vour future wife who Is concerned, you are Ion-headed Hi before midnight." This , sarcasm did not prevent me pi, doling again a few minutes later. I do ashamed of my drowsiness, and after thl , a ittinut(pto?',ose I would wake with a on \ guilty start, only to drop off again in a d<> few "moments. I know not how long this had been going on. wheu Van llocck ing shook me by the arm. and woke me thoroughly. "It 1b courting destruction to sit hore j with the door open." ho said, "one of us blind, and the othor dead asleep. I cnDnot ' stand it any longer; it is intolerable. Tell 1110 it it rains." I wont to the window, and found that the rain had ceased. I told him this. "I will go out? take me down to the door," | lie said. I led him down stairs, and gave him his umbrella and hat. Then I took mine and opened the door quietly, fearing to awake i Edith. I would have accompanied him. but lie refused, saying night and day were alike to him. and he knew his way along the j paths and about tho lawn. "Goback to your room and fasten your- ! self in," he said; "it is our only security, i Tap at the window to let me know that all i Is fast. I bog you to do this." he added. I earnestly; "you cannot understand the feel- j ings of a man in my position?the torture of conscious impoteney as you feel the approaching fate that you are powerless to j avert." HI? muled lu lit? uiiunn * | tlnctly I heard him mutter, as he groped his , way along tho wall of the terrace: I "('ramped in acofTln, and the clods fall- j inc. fulling " I closed the door, and returned to my room with a shudder. When I had fastened myself in I tapped at the window, and Van Hocck replied by tap- t lung on uio wan dimow. The fresh air ha<l revived me; T hud no : 1 longer to struggle with an irresistible drow- l <iness?the inclination to sleep wits gone. t I had my book to finish, but my mind was not sufficiently composed to read. As I 1 walked about the room I thought of Edith and of Van Hoeck. wondering if there could > lie any connection between her strange hut- 1 luelnation and the terrible presentiment l which night and day possessed him. It seemed as if there must bo something ah- i normal in the conditions under which wo t lived, to produce an effect which, though j | harneterized by different peculiarities, wu:- 1 in both cases attributable only to a dlsor- ! icredimagination, and I wondered if I, in t uiv turn, should come under this occult in- ! > lluenee. j * I might have boon occupied with the > speculation for half an hour, when I heard i I i scream of terror that I could not doubt r *nme from the wing in which Edith lav. In ui instant I opened the door and ran dirough tho corridor. The doors in the c (licturo-gallery wore open. As I drew aside f he curtains which closed in tho staircase i t orridor of tho left wing. I saw Sir Edmund j t Mune from his room with a lamp. Tho door I v d Edith's room exactly faced his; it was j vide < p;'ii; all was dark within. "What is it, iny dear, what is it?" he | ailed, as he entered the room. There was no answer. I billowed to the door. Sir Edmund was j f landing by the empty bed. looking around j * iiin ill lilniiL- illuniiiv t* Rono.n he ^aspeil. "The door was ; ^ ?Vido open ** | ^ The bed stood nway from tho wall. I bade ' 1 sir Edmund look on fho furlhor side. There was scarcely room for him to pass i 11 jetween I ho 'oot of the hod and the wall. ! " nit as ho lowered the light ho said, in quick i ilarm: * j "Sho is here- unconscious. Ring tho bell . or (ho women." j t 1 ran to tho bell and rang it violently; hen from the stairs in the cross-gallery I v ailed to the servants to come down. In hp meanwhile Sir Edmund had raised idilh and placed her on the bed, where sho !' av like one dead. il From hie room I got a spirit case, but wo t tnew pot how to apply tho remedies at our and. and it was an intense relief to us The housckennor ' a m f 1 x went to the door, and stood there , rembling from head to foot. I bad taken Edith's hand, and the icy s oldness of the lifeless Hjtgers that I had f mly known quick with warm blood chilled r ny very hcai t with fear. There was a long period of terrible sus- J penso, and then I hoard the dear voice i murmur, and. my heart bounding with joy, j i ventured forward that I might see the life i mice more in her beautiful face. Sir Ed- | . aiund stopped me on the threshold. | 1 "Thank Ood!" he said, forvontly. "she has , j come I nek to us; but Hie women say she j must be kept quiet, tio back to your room, , j my dear follow, and we will talk it all over ! at breakfast - time. (iood-night, good- I ? night." ! i returned reluctantly lo my room. As I j niishoil his eliambcr I heard the Judge snor- , ing loud aiul long. It needed something more than such trifles to wake him when he had a. bed t<> sleep in. I What already puzzled me was how Edith 's door came to bo wide open when she had fainted in a quite remote part of the room. CHAPTER IX.

II*t llrst eon- i seiousness was that her head felt uncom- | fortahly low. f he put her hand out to find ] it she had slipped to the edge of the bed; j hut no. her position was median-red. Then it struck her that she had left a i light on the table; it was now out, and all I was dark. She wondered if this was a trick of ini- j agination. Was she awake or asleep? She! touched her eyes to ">e sure they were open. ! Then it occurred to her that she might have [ been asleep a long while. There was nothing extraordinary in her lamp going out. or j ing this to herself, she fell for t he pillows.* ' 4'o her astonishment she found that both ' were gone. It was droll.

The common unit of lineal measure, a foot, was derived from the length of 111 i human foot. In a man 5 feet 11 inches tall the foot measures 10J inches, and the middle too 2 J in lies. mil.iA.du t lio nv/1 innrv Ill Wlllllt'OU DUl?j^* W, ntv bright being 5 feet, the length or foot whu 1* inches nnil ^ linen. The longest foot of measure is that of old Turin, which is equal to 20 inches of English measure. There was a time when not only each c mntrv, but each town, hud a footmeasure of its own, indicating different averages of the different fret in various hx alities. Among a tribe of low-stituro Indians, whose height varied from f> feet I inch to 5 feet .'1 inches, the length of the I'eet was found to be from 0 inches 1 lines to 0 inches t> lines. In order to get nil idea of the length of shoe sizes in inches it may be staled that a foot measuring 10 inches, with the weight of the body resting upon it, may wear comfortably a No. 0 shoe. A youth in the South Sea islands, ti fret 7 inches in hoight, had afoot 12A inches long, his lower extremities i..v..........i no l...? in Irtish, oirouinference of calf of leg 17a inches, and h's ankle 10 inches.

He had been nt Capornaum," where llit< soul had Ihxmi greatly refreshed by the faith ot a Oentile, a Roman centurion, leading Him to say, I "I have not found so groat faith, no, not in Israel," and to look forward to the time of Hie kingdom when mnnv who were far ofT j t-hnll bo found there, and many who thought ' themselves entitled to tho kingdom shall bo j cast out (soo Matt, viii., 10-13). "And many of Ills disciples went with mm ami nyiohj fritye Herfrom the plaiu of Esdraolon, south of Cana and southwest of tho sea of Galileo. Nain is on the northwest of Little llernion, the iniddlo hill of the three, while Endor is on the north and iShunem on the west. Jesus left Capernaum aud journeyed some twenty ; miles southwesterly to Nain. Ho would not be very far from Cana or Nazareth, and a littlo farther on Ho would hnvo come to Shunem, where Klislia raised u littlo boy to life ami restored him to lib mother (II Ki., iv.), but His steps nro by tho Spirit directed to Nain. 11. "Now when Tie mine nigli to the gato of tho city, behold, there was a dead man carried out." Only here, in all Scripture, is this city mentioned, but it is forever made memorable by this mooting of the Prince of Lifo and Light and the Prince of Darkness who has the power of death. The Son of Got! was manifested that Ho might, destroy tho works of the devil (I John iii., 8), and when He lias gathered from this prosont world His elect company of associate rulers Ho will there reign till Ho hath put nil enemies under His feet; tho last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (I Cor. xv., 25, 96). "'i'lie only son of his mother, and slio was a widow; and much people of the city was with her." The little girl w hoiu Jesus raised to life was an only daughter (Luka viii., Aa>, nnd Lazarus seems to hnvo been an only brother. Thoughtful readers will stop a moment to remember that Solomon's master workman ill brass, etc., whs n widow's son; bt? Hibu wiisjiToiKinni, pot en ni'iuii; n ]ioai widow sustained Klijah, and another was (onimcnded by Christ for Iter oflVrin"; (I K'. vii., 14; xi., 26; xvii., 1); Taiko xxi., 2, 3). Special words ol' comfort for widows aro found in Ex. xxil., 22; I's. Ixviii., 5; cxlvi., [>; Zcch. vii., 10; and somo day wo shall sco ii|pro clearly into all these things. 13. "And when tho I/ord saw her, lie lind Compassion on her, and said unto her: Weep not." In one com pan v the cantor of attraction was the lord of Life and (Jlory; in tho other, this poor, desolate, broken hearted widow. Tho two now moot, nud from tho Fountain of Life into tho heart of the desolate tlow tho nil poworful words; "Weep not." So lie Also said in tho house of Jairus iLuko ix., 52); and to Mary after tho resurrection He snid: "Why weepest thou!" (John XX., 15.) Yet Ho Himself wept at the grave of l^izurus and on the mount of olives mid in tho garden of tlcthsomano (John xi., 35; Luke xix., 41; Heb. v., 7). When He weeps it iH because of sin either in its present or (nturo results; when lie says "Weep not'^it | stop and bTtrtttT' itwwwhen *? wthxtJ , Moies turned aside to see that He called unto , him out of the bush. Israel at the Red Bea had to stand still in order to see tho sal vaj tion of Jehovah. Saul had to stand still that , Samuel might show him tho word of Ood. Israel had to stand still that Samuel might reason with thoinof tha righteous acts of tho Lord. And again did they stand still to seo the salvation of Jehovah in tho the days of ' Jrhoshaphat (Ex. iii., 4; xiv., 13- I Sain, ix., 27; xii., 7; II Chron. xx., 17). In the busy, rvj-ryflrrv life, following tho dead things of this world, wo are not apt to honr or seo tho words or works of tho Lord; although even there He is ready to nioet us, nnd it is there we do need Him so much; but how thankful we should lie for the day which kindly compels us to stand still, nnd for the woek night evenings when womay stand still and turn aside to the prayer mooting or tho liiblo study to hear what lie will say unto us. "And llo said: Young man, I sny unto thee, Arise." Now when all is still and all eyes nrc u|h>ii Him lie utters just four words (iu the Greek), hut what jiowtr and moaning there is in them; nnd all because of Him who 1 uttered thorn. They are the words of Him who spake and it was done, w ho commanded nnd it stood fast (Ps. xxxiii., (*-'.)), by whoso word the Heavens were made and all the host of them by the breath of llis mouth. Observe the "I say unto thee" which Ho uses so often, nnd in the sermon on the mount just i fourteen times. Compare it with the many hundred times repeated "Thus saitli the Lord" of the prophets, and note its significance. The word "nriso" signifies to awake 1 as from sleep (soe Matt, viii., SO: xvii., 7), and i is used in reference to those who rose from t he dead after His resurrection (Matt, xxvii., 52). 15. "And no that was dead sit up and began to speak." Life and health and speech from the Prince of Life, nil unmerited, all of grace, nnd nil by His word in the power of the Spirit. The words which He speaks are Spirit and Life, nnd he f lint hears nnd believes hath everlasting life, and is passed from death uuto life. "And He delivered him to his mother." Is there not here a hint, ns in the resurrection of the little girl and Lazarus, of the reunion of families in the resurrection? And whilo there shall then be neither liiai fyiug nor gi ving iu marriage, nre we not by thoso fac* nnd by I Thess. ii., lDtnught to expect in" measure a reuuion of those who in fefi|,(i in service have been united op gTtVw HtH'Illff no <o mo. .- b?i Oa,i 16.
