I know a pretty girl who gave tip a good position to marry a man of sixtyeight. " 'I am marrying for love,' she told her chum. " 'And the old fellow,' said the chum, disgustedly, '13 worth $7,000,000!" " 'Yes,' was the reply. 'It's the $7,000,000 I'm in love with.'" Cause of the Excitement.

Barry Churchill looked down with frowning Impatience at the fair girl who eat Idly tracing fantastic petterna In the white sand at her feet She waited to give a final embellishment before raising dark eyes that held a look of quiet amusement In their depths. "Oh, I don't know, Barry."-she replied. "It really Isn't my fault that you Insist on repeating that tiresome question at regular intervals never more than six weeks apart, nor am I to blame that I can't give you the answer you desire me to give. So JurI where 1 break any of the rules of the 'game' as you choose to call this summer friendship of ours, I am at a loss to understand." With a light shrug of her shoulders, Catherine Holllster rose to her feet and opened the gay little parasol. "Granting that," returned her companion quietly, "still you might at least give a reason for your continual refusals. Why won't you marry me, Catherine?" he Insisted as he took the parasol from ber bands. 'The girl's face flushed deeply at his touch, but her voice was even as she replied.

"That you aren't at all the sort of man I would care to marry," she continued. The man gave a laugh that was Intended to be careless but bis face whitened at her words. "If your distaste Is engendered by any one particular shortcoming that I might change," he began somewhat sarcastically. "It Isn't," the girl broke In abruptly.

And Bhe dismissed the matter with a little Impatient gesture of her hands that wan meant to express finality. Together they walked along the beach In silence, the man with grave face and set lips, the girl carelessly swinging along heslde him. She had removed her wide-brimmed hat and the cool evening wind blew the sofi hair around her face. The man felt a tightening sensation in his throat as he looked at her and every line and curve of face and figure was stamped _ indelibly on his remembrance. With all her wlnsomeness there was yet an unapproachableness about Catherine Hollister that kept most men at a distance, and It was a hint of mockery that ever lurked in halftantalizing eyes that had kept Barry Churchill from revealing the whole strength and tenderness of a passion that had touched the very depths of his self-contained nature. Like a wall his cold restraint and pride rose between himself and the girl until her very soul cried out against it That night she sat by her open window looking out over the storm-swept expanse of ocean that bad been so placid a few hours before. Her eyes were wide and her heart was filled with a tumultuous pain that all her ! calm reasoning could not still. "Why can't he be more warmly human?" Bhe Bald fiercely to herself as she rose and begnn to take down heavy braids of gold that were colled nround her head. "You're a perfect goose," she said to the girlish reflection in the glass To think of you, Catherine Hollister, accustomed all your spoiled life to a perfect excess of love and tenderness, j dreaming of marrying Barry ChurchIll! Why, his proud Indifference and elf-centered affection would break your hungry little heart into a thousand fragments in less than a month and he would never dream that he had been the causo of It!" With a laugh that waR half a sob she turned down the light and slipped downstairs ' to her sister's room. Opening the door softly, she pe?ped in.

"Come In and Join our happy circle." "Can't," returned Catherine. "1 thought Madge Bald you were going to be away tonight or I wouldn't have ventured down. I'm lonesome and want to borrow the baby If she Isn't asleep." "Not by a whole lot, she Isn't," returned the fond parent as he turned to a silk-lined crib that held the Jewel of the household. "Here Dolly Dimple." he said as he lifted a crowing bundle of soft muslin and lace from Its depths. "Go comfort the lonely heart of this spinster anint of yours while I enjoy my book and pipe in peace for half an hour." As he laid the ba"by In the girl's outstretched arms, he gave one of her long braids a gentle tweak. "Why don!t you marry Barry and settle down to a happy home life of your own?" he asked, teaslngly. "Why should I, when I can borrow all itR Joys and save myself Its sorrows?" she retorted laughingly. * -?- it. U-.lt As sue stepped out into iue uan, the entrance door was hurriedly opened and the tall, coated figure of Barry Churchill confronted her. "Where's Jack, Mrs. Weston?" h# began breathlessly, his eyes blinded for the moment by the bright light of the room. "Oh, I beg your pardon," he exclaimed quickly, as he discovered the Identity of the slender figure. "Madonna," he breathed, as he looked down at the lovely vision, and a | wnrmth and tenderness such as Catherine had not dreamed his nature capable of came Into bis face. When he spoke again, after a long, tense moment, his voice was quiet and unmoved as ever. "I want to see Jack a moment," he explained. "There's a vessel struck the cliffs and I think we can do the poor fellows some good." With flushed cheeks and holding the baby more closely In her arms, Crjtherlne led the way Into the little sitting room. A few minutes later both men were hurrying down the , beach toward the scene of the wreck while the two women, counting long nallp,! fonrfnllv for i their return. Shortly after midnight heavy tramping on the stone walk caused both women to spring to their feet. As the door opened and Catherine recognized tho figure being borne in, she gave a low. heart-broken cry. "Oh, Harry's all right, Cathie," Weston cried quickly. "He would go out one time more to try and sate a fellow?did it, too, by Jove, and the breakers took most of the starch out Of him." "He'll be right when we get him warmed up and a little brandy down his throat," one of the fishermen said kindly, as he*fctld a fatherly hand on the girl's shoulder. .Thus reassured, she crept back Into the room, refusing all orders to go until ahe saw the light of consciousness slowly returning to Churchill's eyes. As he recognised the white figure at his side be reached out a comforting hand. With a glad cry the girl caught it to her lips, then fled from the room. Bright and early the following morning Catherlno Blipped quietly downstairs and out upon the wide vomrifiA nvprlooklnir the sea. Early as she was, Churchill was there before her. At her step he turned. For a single moment the girl stood, deep-shadowed eyes grnvely searching his face "Catherine." the mar's voice held question In it as eager eyes swept her lovely face. The girl stepped to his side. "1 wanted to tell you." she began bravely. "that I have changed my mind since yesterday?and If you think you care to ask me that question again?" But for reasons that would be obvious to an understanding person, the stumbling sentence was never completed. Shining Record.

Such Is the enviable record of Mrs. Willa A. I^eonard. who, at the age of 71, has Just resigned the post of chief of counterfeit detectors In the treasury department. During her remarkable term of service Mrs. Leonard was required every day to pass upon the genuineness of hundreds of currency notes of various denominations. The notes passed first through the handB of subordinate examiners and came to Mrs. Leonard for final Judgment, she being a sort of supreme court whose opinion was the last word.

"You don't appreciate yourself as well ns some others do, perhaps. Tee hee!" "Yes," he persisted stubbornly, "I'm a dub!" "No," she maintained. "Yes," he almost shoutW, "I'm a dub!"

OOLDEN TEXT?"Hear the word at my mouth, and give them wernlng from | me."?Ezck. 3:17 TIME?Ezekiel was carried Into exile ! B. C. 597, In the second deportation by Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem; when 10.C00 wrro carried to Babylon with King Jtholachln. The prophecy of this lesson was written B. C. 502, five years later. The first 24 chapters of Ezekiel, concerning the destruction of Jerusalem were written during the 4 years 592-588. B. C. 688 was the beginning of the last siege of Jerusalem which ended In Its complete destruction. PLACET?The Book of Ezekiel was writton at Tol-ablb (= Cornhlll) on the river Chebar, one of the large Irrigating canals of Babylonia, running across the plain between the Euphrates and the Tigris. Ereklel's name means "God i strengthens." He was a priest, the son of Buzl, probably a family name. He was also one of the greatest of the prophets. He was probably 30 years old when he began to prophesy | In B. C. 597, which would put the date of his birth In Josiah's reign, about the time Jeremiah began to prophesy, ! and Are years before Josiah's great reformation Rnd the finding of the book of the law. He was a married man; and the sudden death of his wife was made by dlrlne Instruction a lesson to the people. He went on with his work "with a broken heart, but an unbroken pur- i pose." He was a man of power and courage, holding his face as adamant against wrong, but attractive and persuasive In encouraging the people to prepare for their return from exile. He was a man of great Imagination, using simile, allegory, parables In action, symbols, symbolic actions. He saw visions, ana areamcu uicauio. Ho had spiritual experiences. But he was also the most practical of men. Ereklel's model heroes were Noah, Job, Daniel. They all had lost their world, but "Noah inaugurated a new world; Job ended by seeing Ood in the whirlwind." Daniel did great things for his native country In his new country. Ezeklel was an exile, but in that exile was a mighty force in the renewal of his native land. The God of Israel wns an invisible j God, without any representation to the senses. It was hard for the peo- ; pie to realize his existence and his presence. It Is hard for us, but much harder for them. The temple and Its ritual were an aid. God's works In nature were his manifestation. The visible effects of obedience, and dls- I obedience, were revelations of God's nature. But times of trial and disaster at first hid his face from them as storm clouds hide the sun. Hence In this dara period Ezeltlel was taught to express God's presence, ! power, glory, goodness, providence, by ; apocalyptic symbols, 1. e., by symbols which expressed ideas, but could not be put into any pictorial form which might lead to Idolatry. The first chapter Is a vision to these symbols, to make God real to the people; as to Job God made himself known in the whirlwind and the storm. Nothing Is more suitable taan that the voice of God should come from the whirlwind. For air, wind, Is one j of the chosen symbols of God working through his holy spirit, as at Pente- : cost. It Is Invisible, db are the great ; natural forces of the earth. The prophet was presented with a Hebrew roll, the form In which their books were made, and was bidden to eat It. The roll represented the word of God, his message to Israel. The prophet's eating the roll meant that he was to become so saturated with God's message that It would become a part of his very being. This gives us "some guidance In 'ormlng a proper estimate of what Is Involved In In- j splratlon. The prophet Is to absorb Into himself what Is given him from above, and then give It out with his own lips and In his own language. "It was In my mouth as honey for sweetness," that Is It was good In It- j self. Hilt afterwards It became bitter, for It was a terrible message to give to tils people, so tnai uoa maae nis face as adamant harder than flint, for all the house of Israel were Impudent and hard hearted. Ezeklel welcomed the watchman on the walls. He went from trance to action, coming out of the tranre, like Peter on the housetop when he went down to the messengers of Cornelius, j "And I went In bitterness ... of my spirit," sharing with God his righteous Indignation against Israel, or the bitterness of having to deliver such an awful message as he uttered In the following chapters, to his ' friends and neighbors and country- j men. So that when he came to them, ; he remained there astonished, In a stupor of grief, seven days. The watchman's duty Is clearly set forth. He must warn the people <i their danger, as by the voice of God. While his business was to warn, the results were with God and the free will he has given his children. God warns us In love In various ways that we may not go neeaiessiy on to our ruin. He gives warnings Id our bodies, by sicknesses, pains and weakness, against courses that will ruin the body, and to teach us to prepare for death. God gives warnings to the soul, by the pangs of con- I science, by troubles and afflictions, to keep us from losing our souls. He warns our country, by discontent, In- J temal commotions, by strikes, outbreaks, anarchies, war, against the oppressions. Inequalities, luxury, Irrellglon, Injustice, which will bring final ruin unless we turn from them. God and Man. Most religions are meant to bo straight lines, connecting two points ?God and man. But Christianity has j three points?Ood and man and his brother, with two lines that make a right angle. Each one of us is at the point of the angle, looking up to God and out to our brother. What God ; sends down the perpendicular line we must pass on along the horizontal. If one hand goes up to God, the other must go out to our brother.?Babcock. The Pharisees.
