head is remarkably well developed. It
Is the bump of phlloprogenitlveness.
In the present case it proves that the
boy has an extraordinary love for his

Johnny hesitated a moment, then
aid:
. "Well, 1 get along pretty well with
the old lady, but the old man ain't

"Whv. how is that, my boy?" asked
the professor.

"About tan ytui ago my eyesight began to

my physician advised me that nothing further
could be done. About this time, about two years

ML PENELOPE
Father's Scheme for Keeping the
Old Compact.
By FRANCIS A. COREY.
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;

"But there's money Involved?a tid;

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

"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.

"Until two years ago waffles and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Finally
dyspepsia came on and 1 found myself
iti a. bad condition, worse in the rooming
than any other time I would have
a full, sick feeling in my stomach,
with pains In my heart, sides and

for days then I would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when 1 did eat and so
nervous 1 felt like shrieking at the
op of my voice. I lost flesh badly and
hardly knew which way to turn until
one day I bought a box of Grape-Nuts
food to see if 1 could eat that. I tried
it without 'elling the doctor, and lik?d
i< fine; made me feel as if I had something
to eat that was satisfying and
still I didn't have that heaviness that
I had fflt after eating any other food
"I hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. I kept on with the GrapeNuts
and in a month and a half I had
gained 15 pounds, could eat almo?t
anything I wanted, didn't feel badly
after eating and my nervousness was
all gone. It's a pleasure to be well
again."

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." Heb. 10-1-12.
hut needs frequent daily confession
that he may abide In tiubroken fellowship.
The blood of Christ not
only cleanses from the guilt but the
defilement also.?Eph. 5:25-27 and I.

THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH
In observing the physical characteristics
of her children, the careful moth- j
er soon learns that health is dependent
on the regularity of the bowels.
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.
The use of salts and violent purgatives
and cathartics should be avoided.
They are too harsh and drastic,
tending to upset the entire system. !

Vegetable Fiber for Shoes.
A Haverhill (Mass.) shoeman has obtained
patents giving him the right to
make vamps and tops of vegetable
fiber which he has invented and perfected
to be used in the manufacture
of shoes. A few cases of,shoes have
been made of this material, which ap
pears to be a good substitute for leath- I
er. The fiber is said to be particularly
adaptable for warm weather wear because.
being of a woven material, air
can penetra'e the vamp and top. The
inventor also claims that a shoe made
el this material Is waterproof.

The "change of life" Is a most
critical period in a woman's existence,
and tho anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
"When her system is in a deranged
condition, she may lie
predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion
of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
arc more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
In the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, van*
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by intelligent
women who are approackbig the
period in life when woman's
great change may bo expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
