Harrill's
Quest

1
By Virginia Blair c
>U r'i
Mfi&i I
(Copyright, 1912, by Associated Utm^wr | t
. Press.) ?
Miss Harrill, whose life during
! nine months of the year was spent (
in a New York apartment, loved
during her summer holidays to come
close to the simpler forms of living. 1
And. above all, she liked to watch
Mary Dean get dinner in the old
farmhouse kitchen, where the sun 1
made a square of golden light on the 1
! stone floor beneath the west window, 1
And Mary liked to have Miss Har- ?
! rill in the big chair by the west wini
dow, an incongruous figure in her 1
modish linen gown and exquisitely 1
dressed hair. But Miss Harrill had
a way of getting at the heart of 1
things, and Mary, who had lived so
long with the two old people that her '
! youth seemed dropping from her, felt
: that through the keen eyes of Miss '
: Harrill she could see a new heaven
and a new earth.
"Do you believe in treams?" was Mary's
question as she rolled out the
crust for a chicken pie.
"In some dreams." said Miss Har
; rill with her quick smile. "Which 1
kind do you mean, Mary? Waking
ones or sleeping ones?"
"I dreamed last night," said Mary
slowly, "that a man I cared for came ,
to me in a phantom ship without a
crew. And as I watched the ship
rose from the waves and soared in
j the air, and the face of the man I
care for looked down at me from
the sky."
Miss Harrill, rocking gently, waited 1
for what she knew would come.
"Do you think it means that?he?
is dead?"
The older woman shook her head. ,
"I am afraid I can't tell you what it
means. But you can tell me how
long it is since you cared."
Mary flushed. "I don't mind," she
said. "We were engaged. He was
he son of the old people here. I had

worked for them since my mother's
death. And when he fell In love with
me I thought It would be perfect to
stay here?as a daughter."
"But the old man didn't think so,"
she went on, without bitterness. "He
looked higher for his son. And when
the boy went away because I would
not marry him unless his people were
willing I was sent, away, too. But
they couldn't get along without me,
and so I came back. But Jim was
gone. He couldn't forgive me because
1 wouldn't marry him without
their consent, and the old man would
not forgive him because he would
not marry the daughter of a neighfor
who had been selected for him.
"I've lived here since." Mary went
on gently, "and I have hoped that he
would come back. me oia peop:e
are good to me. and I owe them a
great deal for their kindness to me
when I was an orphan child."
"But you have paid your debt,"
8fld Miss Harrill decidedly. "If Jim
comes back, you can get married and
live happy ever after."
Mary shook her head. "I couldn't
marry Jim unless his father said
"yes." "
Miss Harrill rose and shook out the
folds of her gown. "If Jim comes
you shall marry him. Don't be billy.
Mary. You have done more for the
old folks than they have done for
you. You have your own life to
live."
"Wouldn't It be selfish?" Mary
I asked.
| "Selfish?" Miss Harrill laughed dei
lightedly. "My dear child, do you
know what a wonder you are In this
' workaday world? In the cities men
! fight for happiness, and out here
| you let it slip by you without a struggle."
"If Jim would only come back."
said Mary wistfully, "I wouldn't need
anything else to make me happy."
Miss Harrill. pondering on that
statement, felt herself moved to play
r Fate in the life of this pretty girl.
| who was losing youth and joy because
of the selfish whim of an old
man. She resolved that she would
hunt Jim and find him for Mary.
c tr?
matting ui i
At a certain factory a number of
young women were working at small
tables, each table covered with little
instruments and odd things, which
only those who knew the business
could possibly understand At one
table two girls were threading needles
" with fine, silky hair and sewing them
' :n little squares on a thin, transparent
gauze.
"Those girls." said the overseer.
1 are making some of those beautiful
arched eyebrows you may sometimes
; see 011 the stage. They are frequently
worn by both actors and actresses
. These sewed on the net are the less !
*1 expensive kind, and are only used on
1 ' .special occasions. The real brow is
| very expensive and can only be madt
by a person of great skill.
' "The patient sits here in this chair.
which very much resemb'es a dentist
" oteratiug throne In this cushion to
my left are stuck a score or so of
tbo*s ueedies you saw being threaded.
She located blm at last far up toe 4
oast. He was working In a yacht- I
ard. |
Miss Harrill made a quick Journey
nd arrived at the yard one sunBhlny
[ay In October. On the pretense of .
ooking around, she made her way to '
rhere Jim worked on a strange craft
if aluminum ard light wire and canas,
which locked like a gigantic
Iragon-fly. [
"What is it?" she inquired.
"An airship," said the man. "It's
t water ship, too. Swims the water
ike a duck, and rises like a gull."
Miss Harrill, thinking of Mary's
Iream, asked an eager question.
'Have you ever been up in it?"
"Yes." said the man. "Once, and t
was nearly killed. I wasn't used t
.0 the mechanism, and I landed up- 1
tide down in the water." J
"Did you think of any one as you 1
:ame down?" , 1
The man looked up quickly. ; 1
"What makes you ask that?" be de- 1
nanded. 1
"Well," Miss Harrill said slowly, 1 1
"I know a girl who dreamed that a '
nan came to her over the water in 1
1 flying ship, and as she watched, it 1
ose in the air, and bis eyes looked 4
lown at her." '
The man leaned forward and spoke 1
jreathlessly: "What was the girl's 1
lame?" 1
"The girl's name," said Miss Har- J
rill, softly, "was Mary?Mary Dean." (
She saw the softened look that came 1
jver the grim face. 1
"Tell me," she said, eagerly, "are '
rou married, Jim Babcock?"
"No," he said, "there's only one '
woman in the world for me, and that's
Mary Dean." '
"Then go to her and tell her."
"She doesn't love me," he said.
Then he stopped and looked at the
3tyllsh woman before him.
"Who are you?" he asked, almost
roughly. "Have you any message for
me from Mary Dean?"
"No," she said gently, "but I know
her. Every summer I have been at
the old farmhouse for the three
months. And I have seen the girl
who makes It a place of rest and com- (
fort for two old people. And I have
Been the sadness In her eyes, and this
year more than ever I began to see
how youth and Joy are passing her
by. And the other day, for the first I
time, she revealed to me that only one
man could bring brightness to her
eyes, and happiness to her heart?and
that man Is?you."
She saw a light leap Into the man's
eyes, but his tone was surly as he
demanded: "How did you find me?"
"1 am rich," she said lightly. "I
gave a detective certain clues. It
wasn't hard?and then I came to see
for myself."
"And now that you have come," he
Bald defiantly, "what do you think of
me?"
"I like you," she said frankly, "In
spite of your rough manner. I
shouldn't forgive your rudeness If I
didn't know that you've been hurt,
md that your heart Is sore." She
held out her hand to him.
"Isn't that true?" she asked softly.
His chest heaved. "How do you
know?"
"Because I, too, have suffered,"
said Miss Harrlll with a quick little
catch of her breath. "Long years
sgo the man I loved?went away,
and he never came back."
The man stammering for words
of comfort, said: "Perhaps he will
yet."
"He cannot," said Miss Harrlll,
and he saw how white she was and
Bhaken. "He died?without forgiving
me."
The man opposite her went white,
too, at that. "Let me go to her," he
cried. "Let me go to Mary."
The next year M1b3 Harrlll, rocking
In the big chair by the sunlight- ;
ed window watching Mary shell peas
for the day's dinner, asked slyly: h
"Do you believe In dreams, Mary?"
The young wife looked up. "If I ! i
hadn't told you mine," she said, I
radiantly, "I should still be longing
for Jim and he would be longing for i
me, and our hearts would be breaking."
OUTER BATTLES IN HISTORY
Monterey Was Fought Indoors and In
the Dutch Wars One Encounter
Occurred Underground.
It needed only a war wherein aeroplanes
were used to complete the list
of queer battles.
At the battle of Monterey, In the
Mexican war, our troops were able to
comrrand the streets of the city with
their artillery, but they experienced
much difficulty In driving the Mexicans
from their houses. Accordingly,
as the city was built of stone or adobe,
the American broke through the walls
from one house to another, fighting
and driving out the enemy as they
proceeded. Thus, It appears, the battle
of Monterey was largely fought
Indoors.
In the time of William the Silent,
when the Netherlands were fighting
the Spaniards, a number of Spanish
vessels became frozen in on the Zuyder
Zee. Out came the Dutch on
horseback on the ice to attack the
Spaniards. This is probably the only
battle of record wherein cavalry was
employed directly against a naval
force.
There have been battles fought
underground. Chlefest of these was
the fierce encounter pertaining to the
siege of Haarlem in the Dutch wars. 1
The Spaniards mined and the Dutch
countermined with equal industry, and
below the ground a terrific conflict
ensued. When, after the Commune,
the Versailles troops took Paris, they
chastd certain of the Communist
forces to the great sewers of the
French capital, and in these more
than one sanguinary battle occurred.
.lse Eyebrows
Kach stitch only leaving two strands
of hair, to facilitate the operation a
number of needles must be at hand.
As each thread of hair is drawn
through the skin over the eye. it is |
cut. so that when the first stage of
the operation is over it leaves the
hairs bristling out an inch or so, preentlng
a ragged, porcupine appearance.
Now oomes the artistic work. ,
The brow must be arched and cut
down with the utmost delicacy, and t
numl>er of hours ts required to do it.
"Small as the eyebrows are. they are
very imiortant in the make-up of th?
face. You have no idea how odd one
looks when utterly denuded of hair
over the eyes. The process I have de
scribed is painful, but it makes good
eyebrows, and adds 100 per cent to the
ooks of a person who was without
them. It is, too. much better than the
>laekening and cosmetics which many
reople use, especi/lly people who have
mere pretense of brows, comprising
only a few hairs."

For those who make stops at Lonlon
and Paris perhaps the best route
to Switzerland is to take a car at the
Lyons station in Paris, wMrl through
the great Burgundy and Chablis and
Champagne country and land at
Geneva. It is best to travel by day,
as the landscape is worth the seeing
and arriving at Geneva in the evening
one will, if one be wise, take hotel
rooms fronting on Geneva Lake, or
Lac Leman, to give it the French
name, and from a window or portico
the early sun will make such a spectacle
of Mont Blanc, the monarch of
peaks, as can be seen at no other time
or place. Then there is a trip by

unique work of great mechanical skill,

VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for ths Tourist In
This Picturesque City
of Italy.
To the wanderer in Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or, better still, by moonlight,
.add.' you will fancy yourself." transplanted
jo SQipe pity of dreamt With
daylight this feeling may wear off tc
some extent, although there is never,
at any time, as much bustle and stir
in Venice as in other towns. Morning,
noon or night, Venice has a fasclna
tion all her own. This is partly due
to the fact that Bhe is a city built on
the water.
To explore Venice and to become intimately
acquainted with her, a gondola
Ib not a necessity, rather it is a
luxury for sunset evenings and moonlight
nights. It is a delightful ex
perlence, and not a difficult one, to
find one'B way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world corners are discovered,
bits of ancient architecture,
carved doorways and little bridges,
with a feast of color here, there and
everywhere. Apart from all the
beauty of scenery, there is the enthralling
interest evoked by her history
and traditions.
Among the traditions we read that
! St. Theodore was the first patron
saint of Venice, to be superseded later
on by St. Mark. The wanderer in
i Venice becomes familiar with the
Lion of St. Mark. More prominently
than anywhere is it to be seen on one
of the columns on the Piazzetta,
whilst on the other is St. Theodore.
These columns of beautiful red and
gray granite are supposed to have
come originally from Syria. They
were erected by a Lombard engineer.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS
"""""
"My sen was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery substance
oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pronounced
the disease eczema. The little
fellow was under treatment for
about three months. By the end of
that time, he seemed no better. I became
discouraged. I dropped the doc
tor's treatment, ana commenced me
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his 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 and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely ho must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time
I dropped the doctor's treatment, I
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
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 Cuticura Remedies."

LESSON FOR JUNE 2
HYPOCRISY AND SINCERITY.
GOLDEN TEXT?"Take heed that you
/lo not your righteousness before men, to
be seen of them; else ye have no reward
with your Father which Is In Heaven."?
Matt. 6:1.
Someone has called attention to the
"buts" of God as recorded in the
Scriptures, showing that they always
1cn/t tn cnmolhlnp ffnnd and Contrasts
i them with those of men that are always
1 the Introduction to some derogatory remark.
In something resembling this
the words of Jesus, "Take heed," are
tremendous with Import.
Doing was the greatest thing In the
Jewish religion that Jesus came to set
aside when he established his new
kingdom. It Is easy for a man to try
to do for himself in order to merit
God's favor. It is hard to let God do
for us and we to accept his finished
work.
In this lesson there is one Inclusive
word and three illustrations. Thia
I word is the word "righteousness" substituted
in the Revised Version for
the word "alms" In verse one. The
three lines of application or illustraj
tions used are, first, that we shall
I make our righteousness secure by so
doing our alms as not to be seen of
men; second, that in the saying of
our prayers we shall not, like the
hyprocrites, desire to be seen of men,
and third, that In the keeping of our
fasts and our vigils we do them, not.
as do hyprocrites, that the multitudes
may observe and comment thereon.
In another lesson upon this manifesto
of Jesus we studied the subject
| of the law and in it he summarized it
all by telling us that except our righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness
of these Scribes and Pharisees, whom
John the Raptist designated as a generation
of vipers?hypocrites, we shall
in no wise enter into this new kingdom
which Jesus came to establish.
Righteousness He Demands.
In the lesson Jesus shows us the
difference between their righteous
ness ana tne rignteousness wnicn ne
Is demanding of the subject of his
kingdom. He demands that,our righteousness
shall seek its approval not
from nor among men but of God. The
motive which must govern Is the
glory, not of man but of God, not
man's approval but the approval of
God. In verse two the word "alms"
is retained and hence the first lllus!
tratlon has to do with our "doing of
alms" i. e., our relations to men about
ns, our right-ness. The doing of alms
has no fundamental connection with
any question of honesty between man
and man. The doing of alms according
to the strict Interpretation of civil
law is no part of duty. There Is no
reason why the business man should
give away his earnings provided he Is
Just In his dealings and does not defraud
in his transactions. Yet we do
see men making great gifts and benefactions
to the cause of philanthropy.
Why? Jesus lays bare the secret
when he says, "that they may have
the glory of men."
Next Jesus takes up the subject of
prayer. Again our attention is drawn
to the fact that the exercise of prayer
has but little to do with our relations
to men. True it is these relations
must be right before we can come to
God acceptably but prayer is to be directed
to God and not to man. Apart
from our belief in God, why should we
pray? Commercial or other Inter-relationships
do not require prayer, why
then pray? The keen blade of Jesus'
logic again reveals the innermost seoi-ot
" t V> o t th t\\r mor ho coon r?f mon "
and such an idea of righteousness is
repugnant in the kingdom of Jesus.
We now come to the third illustration,
the keeping of fasts. Fasting
does not and never has appealed to
the natural man. Naturally it is repugnant
and distasteful and yet we
see men making a show of fasting and
imposing a like burden upon others,
why? "That they may be seen of
men." Is there, then, no place for,
nor ministry in fasting? Certainly
there Is. True fasting, however, consists
in foregoing and abstaining for
the "glory of God."
God the Final Judge.
It is a sad fact that much of our lenten
fasting and of our abstemiousness
upon Fridays is that It shall be seen
of men and not because of any real appreclatlon
of the underlying need or
sense of the principles of fasting.
This lesson is a great warning that It
we condition our righteousness upon
the approval of man it will have no reward
whatever of God. The ostenta
tlous or unctious display of philanthropy
will receive its reward from
men and weighs naught.
In so doing we are but selfishly
seeking to exalt and this is always antagonistic
to God who is properly Jealous
of the glory which is rightfully his
Our exaltation should be of God, not
from man. If our prayers are but
external forms repeated to make an
impression upon men, like that one
6ald to be "the finest prayer ever offered
to a Hoston audience," we need
expect no answering reply from the
1 throne on high. If our fasting Is pa
raded before men as an outward show
to create in the minds of men a false
estimate of our spiritual lives, we musi
look to men for our reward and not tr
God for it has no merit that wil
, avail with him.
How the honest heart of mankind
, rebels at the suggestion of affected
piety for personal, material, gain or ad
vantage. Hypocrisy is, however, sub
tie. For one to appear friendly ant
then to talk about or to abuse an
! other's hypocrisy is to live the lie
' Mr. Moody's rebuke to the man whi
boasted after an all night prayer serv
i Ice that his face shone was, "Mosei
wist not that his face shone." It li
not the piety that Is wrong but tb<
. contemptible counterfeit,
r Followed through this lesson applfe
to all the walks of life. For illustra
i tlon, to adulterate food for gain am
yet appear active in church for th<
upbuildln? of a reputation. This false
> ness is the sin that lies back of graf
and corruption and that allows Amer
lea to have "the worst governed cltie
? in the world."
It is quite notlcable that there I
not a single personal pronoun In thi
i model prayer. It begins with God
: leads us through his dealings witl
man and back once more to him ti
' | whom all glory belongs.

Mr?. Herberger, Who Would Not
Consent to Go There, Finally
Relieved At Home.
St. Louis, Mo.?Mrs. Mary Flerberger,
of this city, says: "I was sick In
bed for ten weeks, with womanly
troubles, and had four of the best
doctors waiting on me.
Efery one of them said I would
have to go to the hospital and have
an operation, but I would not consent
to that.
I thought I would give Cardul a
trial. When I began to take the first
bottle, I could not turn over In bed,
but had to be lifted.
Before I finished the first bottle, my
pains were leaving me, slowly, and
soon I was out of bed and walking
around.
My pains have not come back,
since. I weigh 150 lbs. and feel fine.
Cardul saved me from an operation.
1 am going to keep It in the house,
for I .would not be without It."
