"You've always had all the money you wanted, Theoren, and you wouldn't I know how to get along without It," | said Betty decidedly. "So It's best to consider our engagement at an end 1 can't marry you." Theoren Crane looked at the girl wotiderlngly. "There is only one way out of this engagement for you. ju#t one," he repeated. "and that is to acknowledge fhat you don't love me. No other reason will hold with me." U Ttetty pondered, a tiny pucker showing In her forehead. She spoke with an effort. "You know there has always been Tom." She tried to look at him. but her eyes fell before the sudden fire in his own. "Well, what of it? He's a sort of half-forgotten myth." j "Don't these roses look real? He has 6ent flowers every day for two years." Her retort came quickly. Her 1 pride had been stirred, j "l)o you menn to tell iuo that you? you of all women?would have allowed me to hold you in my arms and kiss you If you had not intended to marry me? Were you thinking of Tom then?" The girl's defense* was being swept away ruthlessly. She felt the hot blood tlnglo in her face. "I don't suppose you evor made a mistake and kiBsed the wrong girl. I did you?" she asked slowly. "Metty! What's the matter? Your "ather has told you that Uncle Henrydrew up his will yesterday and left his money to me provided that I don't narry a so-culled society woman. He has always been a crank on the sub'ect of marriage. Thinks that women ought to know how to cook and bcw and run a house.

Betty, dear. I've been so happy. Say it's all a mistake I don't want anything but you." Betty swallowed hard and staring in the fire, went over to herself every word her father had sa'd at noon. "Betty, you must give up Theoren Crane." he had urged. "The boy has a future and this old uncle of his has a dozen millions. You mustn't let maudlin sentimentality cheat the boy out of a fortune like that. The old fellow loves Theoren and wants him to marry n quiet, simple girl who is accustomed to do actual work, household work, he said. Yes. 1 know it's hard on you for you are more than capable and can run this big establishment. but Henry Crane demands thut his niece shall not smack of the social world. You're like a beautiful orchid. Betty, don't cry: we'll go abroad for a year. Henry Crane would never believe that you could work. You must not think of yourself in this, but what this fortune will mean to him." Acts of heroism appeared easy enough to accomplish in the creatures of men's lancles?in books?but when an actual experience came home to an average, normal girl. It seemed too difficult for mortal endurance. Betty wanted to cry out how dear he was ?this man she was giving up for love of hitn. Ho was so big and strong and capable of caring for her. She would love him so that he would never regret the loss of money under the circumstances. she promised herself, and then the voice of her father, speaking in a cool way of the material things of life, smote her Inner consciousness. "You mustn't let maudlin sentimentality cheat the boy out of a fortune like that." and netty steeled her heart and determined to prove herself equal to her fathers expectation and demand. "If 1 ever inarrv. I will marry Tom. Nobody eould love a woman any more than he loves me. 1 am going abroad in ten days, where I hope to study and travel and Improve myself. I need it." "As late as last night, you didn't reed nor want anything except my love. Tell me the whole truth. Betty. Why are you talking about Torn now? Isn't k because of Cncle Henry's will?

Petty was not perturbed. "How many gue3ts?" "One Mr. Wilson from up country."' Mr. Carter stood for a minute admiring the slight figure In an evening dress pinned up carefully and partly covered with one of Susie's big blue aprons. Betty served her dinner without any apparent effort and found time to chat gallv with her father's rather silent guest. "Did you really cook this nice dinner?" Misa Betty?" he asked yielding presently to her gracious charm. "Ye*. We keep four servant*, but thi* afternoon they all stampeded be cause of a fire in the block where they live.

"Let mo give you some more fowl?" begged John Carter hospitably. It was evident to the guest that Mr. Carter did not care to discuss pro fe8sionaI matters at homo with his daughter, so he Immediately took up flk*wom topic of the high cost of living. "Hetty Is a shrewd manager." commented Carter, proudly. "I hear other men complain of expenses, but Betty in a good buyer nnd wastes nothing, so I find that although I have everything on the market, my expenses, household expenses, are no more than they were Jen years ago. Hetty's mother married me when 1 wua a poor, struggling lawyer, and we hud to sioe in order to live, so I suppose it is Instinct in the child to economise."

A few words between the men explained matters. Henry Crane chuck ling with laughter, parted the curtains at the door. There stood his nephew, his yoling face drawn wit^i suffering, pleading with the woman of his heart. Betty, all the color gone from her pretty face, was biting her lips to keep back the hot tears "God bless you both, nephew T couldn't And you a better wife in all the world than Betty.

To ! pray tho prayer of thanksgiving, to pray for strength to withstand this now temptutlon, (John 6 14. 15); to pray for those whom he had fed; and surely to pray for his chosen ones that they might understand him and his mission. Jesus had taken his disciples Into tho mountain for their own good. (Mark 6:31) aipl now he sends them away lest they yield to tho advice, the Importunities, of tho crowd and consort with them in their desire to 1 make Jesus a temporal ranter man a spiritual kliLK Such a course would have precipitated matters. Hut iu hit solitude uk he prayed, Jesus wan ! watchful of hIk own. lie had sent them Into the storm to avoid a greuter danger, would he l not watch over them? So with many a testing In our lives They seem severe, but how little we know of the greater danger we have missed. He saw (v. 48) their distress long before they saw their relief (v.4ft). Jesus knew the need of prayer. Jesus knew the need of solltury prayer as he must pass this crisis, so If was that whtlo he lingered In prayer they were distressed till "the fourth watch."?near daybreak. Once before (Mark 4:38) they had been with him In a grrnt storm while he slept. Now t),nv are alone, hut Jesus Is not asleep. Though seemingly alone yet he was helping them through prayer (Heb. 7:2fi) and when the proper time arrived be went when the rescue (I Tor. 10:13). The helplessness of the disciples and the stress of the storm is heightened when we consider the fact that these were fishermen Inured by exposure to such storms. To further test their faith he made as though "he would have passed by them." (v. 48). So It Is that testings and sometimes such catastrophes as that of the Titanic would teach man his real weakness before God. Hut though verse 48 revealed a dark situation the dawn of help was at hand. Ill Considered Test. It Is not strange that they did not recognize Jesus. He often comes to j us in ways we do not at first recognize, in ways that at first terrify us. but he does not leave us long in suspense. We read, he "straightway" rescued them "It is I: be not afraid." Notice he assures them first who it Is u near. "It Is I." They recognize the tones of his familiar voice and then they were ready for his words of confidence, "be not afraid." So God speaks to lis in the hour of our darkest trial, saying "Lo, I am with you always;"?-"be not afraid." From the parallel account by .Matthew (.Matthew 14: 28-36? we read of Peter's attempt to walk upou the wa fer. His rash and ill considered test of the reality of Jesus" presence. Then we Hee him as he too compares himself with the angry storm and taking his eyes off of Jesus begins to sink. Peter's sharp, piercing cry; his clear, definite, appeal is at once answered and Jesus leads him safely back into the boat. How different is the picture once Jesus was in the boat, and how soon they readied the goal toward which they had been struggling. (John 6:lf>. 21). If any one is at sea. If any one is fruitlessly tolling against wind and wave, only let them take Jesus on board and soon they wii! reach a safe landing place. The discipies were amazed and their heartH were hardened (vv. 51, 52), and this even after the creative miracle of feeding the five thousandwhy so? It is evident that even those nearest to him did not apprehend the true meaning of this miracle, on the contrary th-ir hearts were hardened. e. g . blind This Is given as a reason for their amazement, in the face of this miracle, at his victoryover the storm. This would not have occurred had they as yet fully understood the feeding of the multitude. We are told that the next day Jesus upbraided the multitude because of this very same lack. John 8:22. etc. Of ; course the disciples did not follow him for the loaves, still they had not entered into that deep spiritual concep tion of Jesus that would have saved them from amazement at any of his acts. Spiritual Application. The real interpretation of Christ'f miracles is not that we are to be amazed at the material manifestation hut that we are to see the spiritual lesson and application. It was a different reception Jesus received when they reached Gennesaret <vv. 52-r>6l. There he is recog nlzed at once. There they flock to him with their sick ones and Mark with a few deft strokes shows us the 1 picture of a vast deal of healing. None ' Is disappointed, for we r"ad that a? manv as touched him were made whole. In this lesson we se** Jesus directing his disciples.
