Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, at a garden
parly at Hampstead, praised the
working girl.
"How much nobler," she said, "to
work than to marry for money. 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

"You .don't play the game fair,
Catherine." 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. "I have given you my
woman's reason before and to all Intents
and purposes It proved wholly
Inadequate, so why bother to repeat
It? I might add, though, what 1 have
refrained from saying heretofore out
of a kind consideration for your feel
ingB
"And that la?" the man Inquired.
"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.
"You are you and I am I," she said,
"and any attempt to wejd two such
natures Into one harmonious whole

would result In Inevitable dlsnster, bo
why talk about It further?" 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. "Hello Cathie," exclaimed her

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.
To have performed the dutlee of a
responsible position for 47 years without
making a single mistake Is an
achievement which Is probably unique
In the annals of public service. 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. Bhe never made an error
as to the character of a note, though
oKo unrt handled millions and millions
of dollars. Hers Is an unparalleled j
record of efficiency, little short of
penlus.

Germany, rescued by British arms,

the world partitioned off by her more
fortunate neighbors. She arrived too
late, and has never ceased to resent
the fact and to prepare herself to
force, when the time arrived, a division
of the world's backlands commensurate
with her ambitions and
her armaments. The pressure she
exerts has behind it 4,000,000 fighting '

Sweet was the lass, low was the
gas; It was the evening she expected
him to put across the big question.
He did not look well. Something
seemed to be troubling him. He tried
to say something, but the words stuck
In his throat, and the girl, noticing
this, turned the gas even lower.
Suddenly he turned to her and
cried, "I'm a dub!"
"No," she said, fondly. "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

She was a sensible girl, and so, realizing
that he ought to know best, she
thanked him kindly for warning her
In time and handed him his hat. It
was only after the door slammed behind
him forever that she realized the
awful truth.
He had contracted a nasty cold,

SECRET OF PASTORS' SUCCESS
Writer It of Opinion Thai Proper Manner
Has Much to Do With
the Matter.
The reason why a good many ministers
of fair ability are out of a job
is because they do not want to visit,
because they are looking for a church
that will fit their own notions rather
than trying to fit themselves to the
needs of a church. It Is true that a
good many men do not know how to
call, they do not know how to behave
when they get into a house, they do
not like it and Sill shirk it every
chance they get. Yet calling is the
secret of success in almost every parish
today?not the same kind of calling
Id all places, but some kind in
every place?n:?J If our seminaries
had wisdom they would fit their students
to do their work In the best
way. In the only way in which it can
be done In the country at least. Give
one year to sermon-making and three
years to making gentlemen In tfce
truest sense of that word. Thus seni
out men who can adapt themselves to
the needs of the place where they are
called, nnd can thus serve human
bouIs. who. being as they are, wont
to be better. The problem of the
country church is to be solved by the
pastor rather than the preacher.?

have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed sono little pimples

If I would have them In water for a |
long time, they would burn like fire

lay a pin In them. After using all 1
the salves I could think of. I went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.

one complete set. and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all I used."

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.
The man who, with the Pharisee,
keeps the law outwardly alone stands
condemned, for, as In the sermon on
the Mount, what Is demanded Is heart
obedience. The Inward desire and j
preference are the vital element.? j
Rev. J. M. Wilson, Presbyterian, Chicago,
111.
Grant unto us, Almighty God, of thy
good spirit, which If we have the
storms of life can hurt us but little
and the ceres of life vex us not at alt

Feaufort, N. C.?Mr. Luther Guthrie
writes as follows: "My wife suffered
with horrible headaches for ten years,
and I spent Three Hundred Dollars
for doctor bills for ber, but nothing
did her any good.
I had read about Cardul for years
back, but never tried it, until last October,
when I decided to get it for ray
wife.
Now she has taken two bottles, and
It has done her two thousand dollars
worth of good.
She is entirely well, and has not
had another attack of headache since
she commenced to take Cardul.
Just as long as the medicine Is
made. I shall have Cardul in my home.
I can't praise it half enough."
Cardul has cured sick women, after
other medicines have failed. It is
made of Ingredients that act specifically
on the womanly constitution. It Is
not a cure all. It Is a medicine for
women, and only for women.

Unfortunate Man.
A tourist In the mountains of Tennessee
once had dinner with a querulous
old mountaineer who yarned
about hard times for 15 minutes at a
stretch. "Why, man," said the tourist,
"you ought to be nble to make
lots of money shipping green corn to
the northern market." "Yes. 1 orter."
was the sullen reply. "You have the
land, I suppose, and can get the
seed." "Yes, I guess so." "Then why
don't you go Into the speculation?"
"No use, stiarger," sadly replied the
cracker; "the old woman Is too lazy
to do the plowln' and plantln'."
Ready for It.
"Young man, have you made any
preparations for the rainy day?"
"Oh, yes." replied the son of the
prominent millionaire. "In addition
to my roadster, I have a corking good
limousine thnt will easily hold six
girls."
