Colonel Brady crushed the letter tn hit big hand. It was written on the official paper of a noted law firm in the city of New York. "Well, well," he ejaculated. "I hadn't thought of that old compact for ages. It's hard to realize that my little Penelope is now grown up and will soon be flitting to another nest." The colonel sighed. All the sunshine would go out of his home when pretty, wilful Penelope left it. She was the apple of his eye. But the prospect of one day resigning her to a young husband was not his chief trouble. It would be like her to love and wed unwisely! An experience of eighteen years In trying to guide her erratic steps had taught him that opposition made her the more determined to follow her own sweet will. She had tyrannized over him from the cradle. When it came to clash, his wishes did not have a feather's weight with her. "I know perfectly well what she would say to chat old agreement. I might pick out the best man in the world for her husband and she would turn up her saucy little nose at him," sighed the perplexed father. Some facts set forth in the letter he had just received made Penelope's future a very pressing question. It could no longer be relegated to the background. He needed to be as wily r.s a serpent. A day or two later, he said to her abruptly. "My dear, I'm thinking of having your portrait painted." "All right, dad. Any time you like," she acquiesced, perched upon his knee. She was delightfully docile in matters that did not count. "I want you to go down to our place at Baybeach to have it done. The cliffs make a fine background. That's where I courted your poor mother, dear. You are very like her, my dear. It will bring back the old happy dayi to me." ' A week later, Penelope was domiciled in the ramshackle old house, with her Aunt Cunningham. She * 1 It's an Excellent Likeness." loved the place. It would be no hardship to spend two quiet weeks there The nortrait painter made his ap pearance the morning after Penelope's arrival. There was a moment o( speechless surprise. She had expect ed to see a shaggy-haired German on the shady side of life. This man looked more like n prizefighter than an artist, being young, muscular handsome. His name was Owen Deering. "I wonder if dad saw him?" mused the puzzled girl. "Or did he just take him on somebody's recommendation": He's very nice. It's going to be greal fun having my portrait painted." Mrs. Cunningham, who was no< blind to the young man's attractions resolved to be in evidence at all the slttingB. But the good lady dear!} loved an afternoon nap. Her easj chair was comfortable, her eyes had a tendency to close the minute she sank into its luxurious depths. Thus it happened that the youn? people had opportunity to talk o1 many things besides art. A week went by before Colone' Brady ran down to see how the por trait was progressing. Deering. whe was living at a summer hotel half t mile down the beach, had begged i day off. The colonel carefully studlec the half-finished picture, then ej&cu lated: ' That artist fellow haa caughi your very expression!" Penelope's cheeks flamed. "It's ar excellent likeness," she conceded. "Now I'll tell you something, mj dear. The portrait, when finished, li to be presented to the man I've picket out for your husband " Her head went up. and she stared a her father. "I would have told you long ago but I didn't want to put thoughts oi love and marriage Into your head be fore the time came for such things You've heard me speak of my olt crony. Major Graham? He and I were like twiu brothers. He's been deac these fifteen years, poor man! He left a nephew six years your senior When you were a mere babe in the cradle the major and I solemnly pledged you two children to eacl other." The color eobed from Penelope j cheeks. "Fiddlesticks, dad! What does the betrothal of two infants amount to?' she said scornfully. "I've heard from the young man He proposes to hold us to the com pact." "But he and I have never met?" "That's why I'm having your por trait painted, my dear?that he. ma: ?ee what you're like before cominj to claim you." "Oh-h"' Penelcoe gasped, taking i step forward as If to tear the canrai in shreds. "I won't raai.~* hlni! S; there! You were a silly dau. ever t Safe With Father.

' "But there's money Involved?a tid; sum?150,000?" She wheeled on htm. "So you'd barter your daughter's happiness?" she flashed. "It Isn't the money, child, but a solemn compact made with the dead must be kept" He looked down into the mutinous face, hts strong lips tightening. "Penelope, you've had your own way ever since you were born. Now it's my turn. You are in duty bound to marry this man. Marry him you shall!" "I shall?shall I?" she mocked, with glittering eyes. "You ought to know your daughter to well to make so rash a declaration." Suddenly catching her breath in a sob. she flung herself into his arms. "Oh. it's too ridiculous. Now give me a kiss, dear old dad, and let the whole miserable business drop." The brow-beaten man had been too long under the little tyrant's dominion to press the point. Penelope had a wretched night. Dimly she realized why marriage w.tb this stranger, whose name she did not know, was so obnoxious to her. When she took her pose for the next morning's sitting her pretty face had lost its rosy freshness, a teary look was about her eyes. Owen Deering dashed on the colors recklessly for a few moments, then threw down the brush. "Miss Brady, what Is It?" he cried huskily. "Please tell me." Look and tone were too much for Penelope. Flinging her hands over her face she broke Into low, nervous Wt. _ UUU111&* "Oh, I'm the most unhappy girl In the world." "What about, Penelope, my darling?" That was the straw too much. Down went her hand6 and down went her head upon his shoulder. In a stormy gust of excitement she told him everything. "I could always twist dad around my finger! Now he's firm as a rock. Oh, what shall I do?" "Marry me!" Deerlng whispered eagerly. "Dad would never consent." "We'll elope." Bright color came into Penelope\ cheeks. She was so steeped In wll' 'ulness and perversity, the suggestion appealed to her powerfully. Then came the thought of the big, silent father who had never denied her anything In all her cherished life. "Oh, no. I couldn't get married without dad," ahe cried. And then. In the next breath. "Ob, I know what we'll do! We'll clcsp hands and make a solemn row to marry each other: and never, never to marry anyooay else? It will be a thousand times more binding than that silly betrothal of two Irresponsible children." Deering nodded and smiled. "Whatever you say," he replied. "Now." cried Penelope, when the whimsical suggestion had been acted upon, "we'll beard the lion In hie don." 8everal hours later, two /lushed, radiant people entered unheralded Colonel Brady's city office. The colonel regarded them fixedly a moment, then shut and bolted the door. "Good morning, young people. What can I do for you?" It was Penelope who replied. "Dad." she said in a rather shakv Toice, "Major Graham's nephew will have to look elsewhere for a bride. Please write and tell him so. I've promised to marry Owen Deering: and 1 will not go back on my word." Colonel Brady wore a broad grin as he met her mutinous gaze. "All right, my dear. And now that J you two have settled things befw#>an you. I may as well tell you something. Owen here is the major's nephew!" 1 Penelope fell back a step, trembling L with anger as she realized what n 1 trick had been played upon her by th" parent she had worsted, heretofore 1 in ?varv battle. Owen's arm slipped quickly about ' her waist. 1 "I'd seen you?fallen in love with you?before the portrait was ever thought of." he whispered. "Forgive me. dear, for falling in with your fa : ther's scheme. Don't let it turn you against me. You?you've promised? 1 to marry me. you know!" "So I have," smiled Penelope, rud denly relenting.

International j SlWSOIOOL v lesson <"By E. O SELLER8. Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 13, CLEAN AND UNCLEAN. LESSON TEXT-Mark 7:1-13. GOLDEN* TEXT?"For the Kingdom of Ood Is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and Joy In the Holy Ghost."?Rom. 14:17 R. V*. This lesson deals with the last of those four events that marked the crisis in the life of Jesus at Capernaum. It occurred Just before the third period of his Galilean ministry and his final departure for Jerusalem. Lessons II. and VII. of the second quarter of this year showed us Jesus' attitude towprds the law. Here we see his attitude towards rabbinical tradition. (1) They are the traditions of men, and not the law of God. (2) They ti'ofo ma Ho n nreiAxt wherebv men evaded the commands of the law. We see before us three general divisions, I.?The accusation, v. 1-5; II.? The answer, v. 6-13, and III.?The application. v. 14-23. Ceremonial Neglected. The growing hatred of the Phari| sees led them to make the long journey from Jerusalem that they might observe him and find wherein to accuse him. While they were studying him they at the same time revealed their Ideal of the kingdom of God. They took special notice that the disciples of Jesus ate without the careful observance of the ceremonial cleansing of their hands. We must not understand this to mean so much the removal of actual uncleannesa, but rather that the disciples had neglected the ceremonial oservance of the washiug of hands of which the Pharisees were so punctilious. Mark (v. 3 and 4) adds illumination by calling especial attention to these traditions to which the Jews adhered so tenaciously. Thus we can see that their ideal of man's relation to God was largely a matter of external ceremony. Purity to them was an outward mat ter, sumetning largely goverucu u} traditions of men and which they had I "received to hold" v. 5. The answer of Jesus reveals a very opposite ideal. He begins by calling the Pharisees hypocrltoe. A hypocrite is a play actor, one who hides behind a mask. Then applying the prophecy of Isaiah, ' Jesus tells the Pharisees that they ' are hiding their true character behind the mask of ceremonial cleansing. Such play acting is but c. poor imitation of the real heart condition demanded by God tPa. 51:10). Their ( hearts were lar from God even though with their lips they professed to serve him. "and many like things ye do." The service which Is pleasing to God is the doing of his will. It consists not in the fulfilling of a ritual, but in the fulfillment of life, e. g , a growing character. As If this answer were not sufficiently strong for the naturo of the case and the evil mentioned, Jesus openly accuses his ac,cu6era. by charging them with setting aside the commands of God, as given by his servant Moses, for the traditions which the.v had accepted from men. Moses had clearly taught, what a child's relation to his parent should be, whereas according to the traditions a man was excused from such obligations if he said. "Corban," , e. g.. "I have dedicated to God that ' which would relieve your need." Thus they prevented a man from serving r Ills parent and set aside the word of God. We may follow tradition so long as it squares with the word of God, but | when it Is contrary to the spirit and j intent of that word, we must, at once break with tradition. I T Disciples Perplexed. Jesus takes advantage of this die- : cusslon and turning to the mutitude upon whom the Pharisees would bind such a grievous burden of cermonialIsm and falsehood (Matt. 23:4) warns them that it la not so much that which enters Into a man that defiles him, but rather that which proceeds out of a man, v. 15. It Beems quite natural that j the disciples should be perplexed and should ask .Jesus what was meant by such a statement. Jesus' answer, v. j 15-23, shows us very clearly that these thingB coining forth, reveal the corruption within. Head Matthew 12:34, 35, Gen. 6:5 and James 3:10-12. Real purity Is purity of heart, If the heart be not cleansed, what will It avail If we wash the hands? What, then, is the application for this present day? Clearly we aro taught the i danger of Up service without a change | of heart. The danger of substituting I the good for the best. Forms and ceremonies are good and have their place. They are significant. They are Important teaching factors, but 1 they must not be substituted for a pure heart. We must beware lest we hide behind such a mask, and allow ourselves to play a part. The heart | is deceitful (..ler. 17: !H)- We must let , God implant a new heart (Kzek. 11:1SJ, 20). There is here also the plain teaching as to Jesus' estimate of the I'en- 1 tateurh and inferentially of the prophecy of Isaiah. He specifically calls it the "Word of God." Surely we can accept his estimate as contrasted with the traditions 01 un* iu?ia ui the consensus of modern thought." There is here also a great opportu- j nlty to emphasize Glial duty. This Is a day and a time that needs empha bis upon the fifth commandment Consideration of parents' sacrifice, co-operation with them In the bearing of burdens, comfort for them in sorrow and adversity, and cheer for them as they journey down life's pathway. Filial dlsrpspect and an iconoclastic Irreverence of things holy are two things that are cursing the rising generation. And lastly, there Is here a lesson to emphasize as to what constitutes real cleansing. The believer Ik cleansed ' once for all."

When the bowels become clogged with the stomach's refuse, loss of appetite, restlessness, irritability, and similar evidences of disorder are soon appar-1 ent. Keep the bowels regular and a healthy, happy child is assured. At the first sign of constipation tho mother should administer a mild laxative to carry off the congested waste from the stomach that is fermenting and forcing poisonous gases into the system. A simple compound of laxative herbs with pepsin i6 highly recom-' mended as being very mild, yet positive, In its action, a teaspoonful at bedtime usually serving to bring an easy, thorough, natural movement next morning. This compound is known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and Is sold by druggists everywhere for 50c a bottle. A larger bottle, put op especially for the family medicine chest, costs one dollar.
