There Was Only One Way Out of
!te Engagement.
3Y A. MARIA CRAWFORD.
"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

money I can take care of you. Oh.
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

love. Tell me the whole truth. Betty.

"Oh. 'J heoren, 1?" Hetty put her

"Put more water In the soup." John
Carter told her; smiling at this strange
trick of Kate, "for I've brought company
to dinner."
"All right." 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

"Now, Miss Hetty Is Just the sort of

"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

"I'm proud to know such a girl In

him from his reverie, then the

"Hetty. I don't care a hang about

Wilson turned (juestioningly to his
host.
"Isn't that. Theoren? Is that why

A few words between the men explained
matters. Henry Crane chuck

at the door. There stood his

suffering, pleading with the woman

Tho miracle bf the feeding of the j
five thousand markH u crisis In the
life of Jeaun. (John 6:15). Tho human- J

! first sends away his dlaclplos, thon
scuds away the multitude, while he
doparts "Into u mountain to pray." 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

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. We see the disciple?
obeying that direction even though it
led them into contra.v winds. V?V
- 1 so? him as he walks into them bring
ing relief, superior to boisterous wind
and wave." His presence brought
peace as it always does to storir
' tossed humanity. His assurance is
i , that of his own presence fMatt
! : 2S:20i. "It is 1; be not afraid." W?
' see Jesus answering the fpar of thf
I disciplps.
' This is a lesson of many applica
tions. The story is clear and simple
' Its values are for our comfort and
help. The unseen Christ Is by out

PIMPLES CAME IN BLOTCHES
Morrison, Tenn.?"For one year I
mfTored from a very severe attack of
acne or pimples, accompanied by
eczema. It first showed Itself by the
formation of small red. rather hard
pimples which were not only dlsflgur- '
ing. but were painful. They also ap- ;
peared on my neck and chest. Their
itching was often so intense as to
, cause Insomnia, and they very often
caused pain and burning. I tried sev- !
eral so called 'sure cure' remedies,
but they did little or no good. Several
months ago I heard of Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment and wrote for a
ample.
"I found them po soothing that I at
once purchased a twenty-five cent
cake of Cutlcura Soap, and a fifty
cent box of Cutlcura Ointment. After
using them for about a month, all of
the itching and the pimples had entirely
disappeared." (Signed) John i
Finger, Dec. 30, 1911.

Nothing More to Live For.
Without question, the Scots curler
of whom I^ord Lyveden tells in Fry's
Magazine, placed the proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling-match in
Switzerland, the skip of one of the
teams, v.ho happened to he a Scotanian,
was so delighted with the accurate
shot of one of his team, that he
was heard to address him In the following
manner: "Lie down and dee. |
mon; lie down and dee. Ye'll never
lay a finer stane nor that if ye live to
be a hundred."
Swallow's Home.
The teacher in natural history had
received more or less satisfactory replies
to her questions, The Delineator
asserts, and finally she asked:
"What little boy can tell me where
the home of the Bwallow is?"
Long silence, then a hand waved.
"Well, Bobbie, where is it?"
"The home of the swallow." dej
