But eren Gideon could be pardoned for looking again at the "6choolma'am girl," as be quaintly nicknamed her. None but a school teacher would have that air and that pencil..' And she was so young and so good to look at that Gideon was reminded of little girls who played, at various games, like keeping house, and going visiting, and teaching school. She was a school teacher; and yet the title wasn't distinctive enough. It did not classify her. She was all girl, too?young and sweet and happy. So "school-ma'am girl" it was. Gideon, who was going out to Oregon to grow apples, saw that the school-ma'am girl had a ticket much like his own?a gre%n one as long ae his arm. -Was she going west, too, maybe to Oregon? But no; tnat was impossible. He would lose her at Chicago, where she would change to one of the other hundred trains that shuttled away in every direction. It was dark when they rumbled I intn herflnm called Chicago. She 8?emed bo little and alone and grave ?some of her bright cheerfulness had departed?that Gideon said a reg-etful farewell with his eyes. And she answered the same way. Gideon hurried Into the sticky midsummer night, because everyone else was hurrying; found a modest restaurant In the glare and clatter; bur_ rled through a meal and trotted back I to the great station as the uniformed man at the gate was bawling his i train. r He found his tourist sleeper. Halfway down the aisle ho paused, de | ^ ^ i /J S i Rebelled Against Dining Car Charge*. spite the pushing procession behind him. his eyes wide open and his heart thumping; for there, comfortably disposed In her seat, was the schoolma'am girl. Next morning Gideon and the schoolma'am girl had spoken to each other almost before they knew It. Ry 1 noon they had decided to make cam(. mon cause against the frightful charges of the dining-car with their united luDch-boxes. By evening, Gideon had told her the story of his life, and confided that he had $2,200 with which to buy an apple orchard. Tbe schoolma'am girl was equally frank. She told him that her real name was Serena Blythe, but that all her friends called her "Bun." She had come into a heritage of school teaching in a New England town at Bixteen. She had expected to stay mere hi ways t?ui uer miner 5 neaun had made a change imperative, and he and her mother had gone west the previous year. Now they had made home in northern California and ! had written her to come. Together Gideon and the scbool: ma'am girl discovered that Gilesburg, Oregon, and Edensvllle, California, were really not far apart. "Why, we shall bo neighbors!" snid Gideon. "I can ran over after supper most any evening." They both laughed at this slender joke; but It did , seem cheering that the two little black dots were separated only by a , few score miles of mountain ranges and rivers. . "Edensvillo Is growing wonderful ly," said the school-ma'am girl, with new but genuine western enthusiasm for her own town. "Mamma says It's half as large again as when they moved there. Papa has all tbe work he can do; he Is a carpenter, you know, and carpenters are scarce?so Is capital. A man with some money is sure to make a success. You could do well there " "I can do well at Gilesburg." returned Gideon, sturdily loyal. "Tin finest apples in the state are raised in that district It's a good slid j u.g point, too."

"I wouldn't do as a money-lender," be replied; "too much sympathy for the other fellow. I've had to borrow, myself." Constraint fell with that, and Gideon went to the smoking compartment and sat himself down, gloomily, in a corner. "Of course," he chlded; "I might have known some rich man would want her. I'm surprised she ever got away from New England without being married." With that he watched a vague and delightful dream which had come Into his life In the past 48 hours fade as the light of evening faded on the distant mountains. The rich Mr. Howltt stalked into their conversation and spread him| self around like a wet blanket frequently; after that Gideon tried to avoid him, and so did the schoolma'am girl. But he was evidently a character not accustomed to being ignored. It was patent to Gideon he had nominated himself to be the husband of little Miss Serena and that, furthermore, Serena'B parents were eager to ratify the nomination. Once, when they were looking over some of the girl's snapshots they camo to a man posing under a tree, a man with his hat tilted knowingly hack, unaware that he showed a fore head from which the hair was-receding. He had an upcurled, olly-looklng black mustache, and wore a satisfied smirk. "Who's that?" demanded Gideon. "That'B Mr. HowJtt," returned serCDO. "Why, he's old!" cried Gideon, with fierce triumph. And then he leaned forward to look into her eyes. "Dun, don't marry him! lie " "Mr. Rush!" For the first time Gideon felt the weight of the Icy school teacher tono. The humbled Gideon sought refuge In the smoking compartment, where he stayed until bedtime. Next morning ho recalled with a start that they were but 14 hours from GileBburg. He sought Serena. The schbolma'am girl was encased in the manner which he knew strange teachers adopt at an Institute. She was painstakingly polite and painfully friendly, and as Impersonal as the multiplication ts.ble. For once, Mr. Iluwltt did not get Into the conversation. Even at dinner, a dining car extravagance on which Gideon insisted be cause It was to be their last meal together, the girl's armor remained la nlace. The hours passed Inexorably. A1 most before he could believe it, the whistle screamed, the brakemaa cried "Gilesburg!" and Gideon was standing in the aisle, saying goodbye : to Miss Dlythe. So with a heart sore and rebellious he descended Into the soft darknese of tho little town, suitcase In hand. Mechanically be fumbled In his pock ets for his trunk check. The englno was taking water. Gid j eon walked forward, for one more look at tho schoolma'am girl. Hei ! seat was toward the middlo of the , car on the other side. Tho platform j was high, and by standing on tiptoe j he could Just see her. Her head was turned away; chin 1 on hand, she was looking out Into the darkness. There was a droop to her ; not at all like the young woman whc ! had bidden him a cheerful goodbye s few moments before. Stealthily Bhe dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief. lust then the train started- an did Gideon. He rushed up the stop3 oi the car. treading on the toes of the conductor, and nearly knocking ove: the porter, dropped his suitcase in tho vestibule, and marched up the aisle.

The Temple courts and the king's palace. Nebuchadnezzar besieging Jerusalem 1st year. Daniel carried away captive. Jeremiah under disfavor. Jehoiakim an unwise king. For twenty years Jeremiah had been trying, by oral teachings, to per1 suade the nation to repent and turn to God, but the people and their rulers had been deaf to his warnings. As a last resort. In the fourth year of Jehoiakiro, the Lord commanded the prophet to write down the substance of his exhortations, and thus to focus them in one mighty blow upon the consciences of king and peoi pie. Moreover, for some reason Jeremiah was shut up, "restrained" from I public utterance, being probably forj bidden by the authorities to preach; so that for the time the written word j was the only way by which Jeremiah could reach the ears of the people. The chosen amanuensis was Baruch, the son of Neriah, a scribe. The book was not like ours, but was a roll of parchment, consisting of severnl fiklns sewed together, the edg?-s cut even, and the whole rolled on wooden rods fastened at each end so that the parchment could be rolled from one to the other. The writing was arranged In columns, each like the page of a book. It must have taken Baruch some months to have written down such prophecies as Jeremiah wished to have read, and which constituted a considerable part of the present book of Jeremiah. v Jeremiah sent Baruch to the temple to read the book to the assent bled crowds. It was a wintry -day. Baruch went up Into the chamber of a friendly noble, over n new gateway opening both ways into the Inner and outer courts. There, from the window or balcony of the chamber, or from the platform or pillar on which the kings had stood on solemn occasions, he recited the long alternation of lament and Invective to the vast | congregation. Heading In this way was almost the only way by which the people could become acquainted with the word of God. Few could read. And copies of the law cost a small fortune. The king sent Jehudi, one of his officers, to fetch the roll so that Jeholakim might learn its contents at first hand and not from hearsay. The king sat In the winter house It seems probable that after Jehudi had read three or four columes, the king snatched the roll from his hands and, taking the knife used for sharpening the scribe's pens, cut up the roil himself, and cast it Into the fire. Some think that only the first portion was read, when all the roll was consumed In the Are. Hut Professor Bennett says that the Hebrew implies , that at the end of every three or four columns the king put out his hand for the roll, cut away the portion read, threw It on the Are, and handed the remainder back to Jehudi, repeating the process. The king commanded the arrest of Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them, by means of some unknown providence and guidance; j or, as usual, by the use of means inspired by Gcd. Shutting the eyes does not ward off the lightning's stroke. FooIb, that think that by wringing the neck of the crowing cock they can prevent the coming of the morning. When the word of the Lord came the book was destroyed, but Its contents and its truths lived. "Take thee . . . another roll, and write In It." Jeremiah knew what he had said <->*>'1 r\r\A ifivn Kim fttrtKnr uciuiu, uuu uuu iuiiuvi revelations. Professor Brown thinks that Barueh's second roll contained the first seventeen chapters of our Jeremiah. "Thou ehalt say to Jeholaklm that the prophecies should certainly come true." Because while they heard the warn Ings, they hearkened not. This Implies that they might have been saved from the threatened evil, If they had repented, as In the case of Nineveh under Jonah's preaching. Otherwise there would have been no use In warn- ' lng them. The warnings were for the themselves. Attempts to destroy the Bible have hern made. When men are forbidden to read It. and everything Is done to prevent I's circulation. The frontls piece of Wycliffe's Bible represents the fire of true Christianity against which Its enemies, Satan and Infidelity. are blowing with all their might, trying to put It out; but the more they put themselves out of breath, the more brightly the fire burns Ingersoll's prophecy, twenty-six years ago, was that "In ten years the Bible will not be read." The fact Is that vaBtly more Bibles are 'ssued every year than when that prophecy was uttered, and In more languages. More than 13,000,000 Bibles are Issued every year in more than 470 different languages and in hundreds of styles at prires from 23 rents to 130.

And yet every attack has made it read more, and caused it to shine in purer light Those who disobey and neglect, the Bible, refuse to let it be a lamp untr their feet and a light unto their path who ignore Its teachings, and ceruse Bp truths?these destroy the Bible for themselves.
