He had supposed the white thing flitting about there to be a slim I beam from the moon. 1 "But the gardeners never come j down here and uncle is away, so it is all right" The voice was nearer to i Blair than before. 1 He shaded his eyes and looked more i closely. A low ripple of laughter eo- j com pan led his search. i "Here I am." She had parted the bushes and still Blair felt that a i wedge of moonbeam had squeezed ] uown through tho trees. He stared < at her with his hand shading his eyes, i "I can't see whether or not I like your eyes," she said half petulantly. j Blair obediently dropped bis hand j and turned toward the light that came from the small door of his caravan.

"Well?beautiful then." He looked deep into his eyes. She returned the look wondesingly. "Oh, oh?1 feel such a funny little thrill inside?here!"

With a ltttle hurt look In her eyes Molly put out her hands. For a breatiling spell the universe seemed bung th midair. Molly tore herself free then and fled In the darkness. Blair watched her go, a moonbeam darting from path to path and finally Into tbe old rose garden and up me great stone steps between tbe guarding lions and out of his sight through the French windows. For & long moment he sat staring ? at the windows through which she bad gone. Flaally he arose, untethered his horses, hitched them to the chravan and drove off into the night "She is too wonderful," his lips repeated. "1 could not withstand her long." Three years came and went before Molly Ashwell and tbe Vagabond Dreamer met, three years In which ber eyes bad worn a pecular, brooding look?a look which John Gray bad tried In vain to fathom or to lighten. "You are not so happy looking yourself," she had chlded him on one occasion. He had grown a shade paler. "I have cause?a terrible cause for being miserable?but 1 deserve It," was all be bad said. She glanced quickly at him now as they sat in the theater. The curtain went up on a new play. The scene was an Interior. "It Is almost exactly like our drawing room!" exclaimed Molly breathlessly and waited for confirmation of ber words. John Gray neither answered nor seemed conscious of ber presence. As the play progressed Molly felt the peculiar tension that held John 3ray. After a spasmodic clutch of tbe hands on tbe chair arms he remained as one turned to stone. Tbe play was the old, old story of the son who had frequented tbe stage loots and had been turned away from borne by an Irate parent. In this case the son had lived In the theatrical atmosphere merely as a stepping stone. He had run away from home to go on the stage that he might gain Intimate knowledge of stagecraft. Ibe strong plot woven In this fabric was neither here nor there except that at the close of the last act the author was called forth. He came from the wings. "My son!" John Gray sprang to bis feet and held out a pair of shaking arms toward the man on the stage. "My Vagabond Dreamer!" came a girl's voice through the hush that followed the meeting of father and son. Regardless of the excited audience, the two men met and the older man clasped the other in bis arms as if he was still a very small boy. A suspended breath held the audience. Finally the quiet tones of the vagabond went out to answer that unasked question. "My father and I have beea long estranged?I am too happy to say nore, except that I thank you for reviving my play so kindly." During the thunder of applause bat followed a slim little figure illpped quickly out of the theater and nto the great limousine that crept tp to the curb at her call. Her heart was beating painfully in lull, miserable beats. "Nobody loves me," she wept softly nto the kindly cushions. She sat huddled and broken, neither ;eelng nor hearing the excited crowd hat came forth from the theater. It seemed ages before the two men, irm in arm appeared. Molly dried ler eyes hastily and peered out as hey approached. The younger man glanced at the :ar. Then Molly saw his hand go up :o shade his eyes. He made a quick novement She was very near him and the ilmouBf.ne bad turned into a darkened street when next she heard his voice. "Mine! All mine," be whispered igainst; her lips.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breaking-out on his cheeks, from which a watery substance oozed.

I dropped the doctor's treatment, and commenced the use of Cutlcura Soap and Ointment, and In a few dayti noticed a marked change. The eruption on bis cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly better. When he was about seven months old. all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head r.nd face were broken out in boils which I cured with Chtlcura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment. I used the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was the picture of health. His complexion was soft and beautiful. and his head a mass of silky curls. I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cutlcura Remedies."

The Journey occupied four months and ie arrived at Jerusalem In the first day it the fifth month. Ab = July-Aug. (In 1911 the flrs( day of Ab was August 6; In 1916 It will be July 12.) PLACE?Shushan and Jerusalem. RULERS? Artaxerxes, Emperor of Persian Empire; Nehemiah, governor of ludea; Exra, the scribe, the religious eader of the people In Babylon. When the right time came, and Neiemlah'8 heart waa burning with sor ow and desire, he found "opportunll?o i>nno??l?H In annoranf hindrances " It was dangerous to show sorrow in he presence of the king. Even a modsrn autocrat like Louis XIV. expected sverybody's face to shine if he did but ippear, and how much more an Artax>rxes? What, wear a sorrowful face when he was presiding over Joy and fayety, gilding them with his pres;nce? If he had ordered this melan:holy visage away to prison or death, t would have been Justified by preceJent. A gloomy face might mean disaffection against the king. The light )f his favor ought to be enough to Irlve all sadness away. Nehemiah had hitherto been able :o keep a smiling face when before he king; but one day at a superb banquet, when the queen was dinng with her husband, amid gold plate, jorgeous silk dresses of every hue, narble pillars, fountains, music, lights, sultanas, courtiers resplendent as the sun. and all worshiping their sun Ar:axerxes, smiling when he smiled, his sorrow shone through his face In spite of himself so that the king noticed it and said; "Why Is thy countenance sad, seeng thou art not sick? this is nothing flse but sorrow of heart." Then he was very sore afraid, and said unto the ting, "Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my facers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the fates thereof are consumed of fire? [f it please the king, and if thy servsnt have found favor in thy sight, that ihou wouldest send me unto Judah, into the city of my fathers' sepulchres, lhat I may build It." b-fn/4 woo nlooaoA tn erant his X UC nuiu n?D {/ivuvvu Q??M? j request, made him the Tirshatha, or governor of Judea, "royal, agent" or 'plenipotentiary," with full powers. He traveled to Judea In state, with a nllitary guard of cavalry, and with letters to the rulers o fthe neighboring provinces to give him whatever he seeded for his work. Nehemlah was very wise. He lay juiet for three days, doing nothing, but earning everything. He showed no rredentials, he proposed no plans, he old no one what he hoped to do. His , first business was to learn the whole ' dtuatlon, the feelings of the people, who would oppose, and who would telp, how able the people were, what obstacles must be overcome. Nehemlah met the rulers, nobles, priests and people, and told them of bis purpose in coming, how he had learned of their need, how he had wept and fasted and prayed, and how Sod had heard bis prayer and caused ; the great emperor to favor his plans, ! give him permission to come, and authority, with orders for the surrounding rulers to give the needed help. He told them of his midnight investigations. I The business side of religion should j be done as Nehemlah did it In the most skillful and Ideal business man- 1 rier. Nehemlah had a layman's good sense in religion. Walls were necessary to the safety of the city. They were also necessary to true religion. The division or labor, the nohle competition, the Interest in their work that kept them from taking time to even put off their clothes, the giving each tils own work, and over against hia own house, the union of watching and praying and working, the working to- ; ;ether of old and young, rich and poor, form a real master-strcJfce of genius." The wall was parceled out among 44 working parties. It was like the ?e- I building of the walls of Athens after j the invasion of Xerxes, like the build- : ing of the walls of Edinburgh after the j oattle of Flodden. This plan made each | one more earnest and faithful as he saw what others were doing. It animated the work with a noble emulation, and a personal pride. 'See how fast my work gees on! See how well my piece is done! Now, my sons, gird up your tunic, or Rephalah the Bon pf Hur will get ahead of us. True emulat'on is to do better than we have done; to seek, not to get beyond others, but to rise to the best possible for us; and to be inspired to this by seeing what others have done. Resides the hostility of the Samartans the Jews themselves were becoming worn out with the fatigue of such strenuous work. * j No good goes on to success wunout > meeting obstacles. Evil does not fall without a battle. It throws slander, rldl.culc, treachery, conspiracies, Influence, discouragements, every possible hindrance, In the way of reform. Even some of the Jews were arrayed against their brethren. They planned to take Nehemiah and the city by surprise. Rlay the workers, and thus put a stop to the work, but the answer was watching and prayer. The Wandering Jew. After centuries of wandering In the wilderness of fanaticism the Jew had been admitted to what seemed to be a promised land of equal opportunity, of civic and social fellowship; he felt, whether articulately, or Inarticulately that In the Palestine of the modern world the old ark would have to dwell In a new temple, that the tabernacle of the desert would prove unfit for his new Jerusalem.?Rabbi Max Heler, Hebrew, New Orleans. ? tl#A?A?i/irt Kafn'onn on aM tr\r% I 1 lie UlllCiCIIl.C ucinccu ftiiu iuui and a young one is that the young ; one may get over It Many a man is not lifting a finger today because he expects to move a mountain tomorrow.
