By CLARISSA MACKIE. Jack Northrup turned the wheel and brought the nose of his swift little motor boat around toward the narrow opening of the bay. Once outside, the little craft rode the big waves easily. "This la great!" ejaculated Jack. Inhaling a deep breath of the fresh salt breexe. A crowded excursion steamer passed him and in response to his shrill siren call saluted with a throaty bass growl. Everybody laughed. /? Jack turned and looked after the steamer. "I wonder If Nora is on board?she did say that she might come down on the excursion boat; well, I may as well flnl6h my run and it is very likely that she and Kitty will have plenty to talk about?they won't miss me." Across the heaving wake left by the steamer darted the motor boat. The opposite shore grew more distinct for he was nearing Sea island?an un- i friendly group of rocks and sand like a bit broken from the mainland. Here Jack loved to come and swim in the sheltered cove on the south side of the island and it was usually his goal on 6hort motor trips. This afternoon the island lay a golden spot under the leveling rays of the dropping sun. A few pine trees huddled near the shore, while the rocky center arose to a rugged height of perhaps fifty feet. Once Jack had climbed to the very top of the rock to find that it was a cup-like hollow filled with pine needles wafted from the trees below. "Some night I shall stay up there and watch the stars swing through their courses," he promised himself as he steered toward the entrance to the little cove. Once Inside it was only a hundred feet to the curving yellow beach where the Gull nosed up the sand whlje Jack tossed an anchor overboard as an extra precaution. "If Nora had not said she might come down today I'd stay here to "Thit It Great!" ntght," he said with a wiotful glance up the steep, rocky path that led to the Bummit. *-*** 1 tKo onn/i onH thoro nid fvrrcj text iv vuc duuu, ??iv. v?.v> v he saw impressed the print of a small foot?a little, bare foot. Next he saw a Bmall boat lying keel up against the rocky wall. This was drift from the ocean. He walked up to it and made a brief examination. The craft was the very last thing in luxurious ship building?a small, dainty yacht's tender, a masterpiece of inlaid wood and polished brasB. Her engine was useless and she had no oars. On her bowshe bore a name in small brass letters. "Blaucinc." "Drift from the ocean," he repeated, when all at once he remembered the tiny footprint in the sand and he wondered, staring first at the curve of bare beach, that was washed at both ends by the hungry tide and at the only safe spot on the Island?the rocky summit. In a few seconds he was scaling the steep path and when he reached the top so that his eyes could look down into the cup-like hollow of the pinnacle rock, he almost lost his hold on the brim, so great was his amazement at what he saw. Curled up on the thick bed of pine needles was a girl fast asleep, the prettiest Jack had ever seen, not' even excepting Nora Smith, with whom he waB supposed to be in love He Identified her at once as the maker of the footprint on the sand, for not only were there a dainty pair of Bhoes and stockings primly placed bes de her. but from beneath the skirt of her blue berge sailor frock peeped a tare and rosy foot. Jack gazed in awed delight and wonderment at the long, curved lashes against her pink cheek; he wondered what color were the eyes hidden beneath the white lids "1 wonder!" Jack murmured, when she opened her eyes and saw him. Her eyes were hazel. Her face lost its pretty color as she sat up and she shrank back against the rocky wall in evident fear of him. Her lips parted and he saw that her breath came In little frightened gasps. "Don't be frightened," Jack said hastily. "1 found a boat down on the beach and 1 came up here to see If I could not tlnd Its owner. It Is rather unusual to land here, you know?a bit risky at high tide " He smiled pleaB antly. I The girl looked relieved. "I didn't j come here from choice," she explained soberly. "You don't mean that you were washed ashore?shipwrecked?" She nodded. "It happened yesterday. I was on the yacht Itlaucine? she belongs to my father. At dusk last night a sudden squall struck us and Eiffel Tower Sinks and Rises.

I can swim, but It was dark and the waves were choppy. I heard my father ordering a beat overboard and a couple of sailors rescued me with tbe aid of the tender. We were on the way back to the yacht when a big wave struck us and the tender capsized, throwing all three of us into the water. "I'm ashamed to say the sailors swam off and left me dinging to the boat. I managed to turn it over and climb in, but I had drifted around so that I could not locate the yacht. I could hear the whistle blowing all night and I screamed and called. Just before dawn the tender floated into quiet water and drifted up on the j beach below. "I remained on the beach until day ; light, then beached the boat and , found this place. I was so exhausted 1 that I fell asleep and you have just awakened me." "Good gracious!" exclaimed Jack. ; "What an experience you've been through. Why, you must be plucky to have stood all that hardship?and still?be able to tell about it." "My father has taught me that men and women who go down to the sea in ships must have a due respect for its wilder moods and be prepared to meet them," she said quietly. "You must be very hungry," sug- j geeted Jack tactfully. "My launch Is always provided for emergencies and I can give you a sandwich and a cup of hot beef tea.", "I am hungry," she acknowledged, 1 "and It Is very kind of you." Jack held up a restraining hand. "If your father told you always to be prepared for emergencies at sea he also told you always to have a help; Ing hand for the stranded mariner? eh?" he smiled. "Yes." She smiled too and her face was wonderfully sweet. Jack disappeared from the rock and went down to the boat where he busled himself In preparing something to eat for the girl. Presently she came down the rocky path and stood beside him. "I will take you to Snug Harbor?our cottage Is there and my sister,* Mrs. Frame, will ?ake excellent care of you. Of course you will want to com- | munlcate with your father at once." "He can be reached by wireless from the nearest station. My father Is Arthur Debrys," she said as she sipped the hot beef tea. "Arthur Debrys!" Jack stared?If this girl was Penelope Debrys she was one of the richest girls In the land. He had heard about her.

They started for Snug Harbor tow-? lng the Blauclne's tender. The wind blew up cold and Jack Insisted upon putting his coat around her shoulders. It thrilled him to see her snuggling under Its warmth. Already he was In love with her and there was something In her eyes that seemed to tell that she, too, had found some new emotion. But there was Nora Smith, with whom he was supposed to be In love. Nora was a born flirt and exacted this devotion from all her male friends. But Jack had qualms of conscience? I he had been serious about Nora at one time, but Nora was years older thau I he Still he might ask Nora. The eyes of Penelope Debrys met his and she smiled. "Ah, this is my : girl?I saved her from the sea?we belong to each other," he told himself tecklessly. When he led this strange young woman into the living room of the Sea Shell Mrs. Frame started up in surprise. "You poor child," she cried after they had told the story, "come with me and get into come dry clothing while Jack tries to communicate with your father. Jack, there's a telegram on the table for you." Jack was alone when he read the message. "Married to Tony Pike this morning. Congratulate us both. Nora Smith." "Hurray!"" yelled Jack happily.

The wife considered the matter, and the next time her lord began to beat her she grasped a chair and smashed It over hiB head.

THE SIGN AND THE LEAVEN. LE88ON TEXT?Mark 8:11-2*. GOI.DEN TEXT?"Jeaui apake unto them, saying. I am the Light of th? , world: He that followelh Me shall not walk In the darkness, but shall have the | light of life."?John 8:12 R. V. In order properly to understand this ; lesson we ought to study carefully the parallel passage In Matthew 15:39 to 16:12, also to read carefully John 8:12 to 32. The persistent Pharisees were ever upon his track seeking to find wherein to accuse him. Claiming to come from and to represent the Father, they ask Jesus to show them a sign from heaven. Turning upon them, he says, "You observe tbe con- j dition of the Bky and foretell what weather to expect the coming day and yet you cannot discern the sign of the times." As though to say, "I have come and performed those things that have "been prophesied of me as the Messiah and yet you cannot read In my life the fulfillment of these signs of my office." In Luke 12: 54-56 Jesus makes a similar statement: "When ye see a cloud In the west, straightway ye say, there eorneth a shower; and so It cometh to pass; ... Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how Is it that ye know not how to Interpret this time?" His Ideal. Their question involved a suggestion that his works might be accounted for In many ways other than the rightful Interpretation (John 10:37, 38), but their demand was for some particular demonstration. They were not looking for a spiritual manifestar tion and so far at their request he sighed, because they did not conform to his Ideal; he rebuked them by telling fhem that their wickedness should have one sign that would be an eternal seal upon his deity (Matt. 15:4 and 12:40, 41) and then departing he leaves them to ponder over his words and his works. Is there any sign for us today to set as it were its seal upon his life? Yes, the Holy Spirit, Acts 5:32, and, ; having the eyes of our understanding enlightened, we may see plenty of ntUar olcna nil nhfUlf us. Havine so \J lUCi DlftllO __w many evidences at hand and still asking: for a sign revealed their wickedness. If men today will not receive the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, he leaves them In their darkness and self-chosen error, 2 Thess. 2:10; Heb. 10:26. Having eyes the Pharisees saw not and ears they heard not. Reaching the other side of the lake, the disciples realize their hunger and discover that they have but one loaf of bread among them. Jesus seizes the occasion to warn them of the evil which he had combated with the Pharisees whom they had Just left. If anyone has any question as to the scriptural teaching upon the subject of heaven, this passage ought to answer their query. Mark tells us that Jesus warns them agaliiBt the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod, while Matthew records the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducces. There Is no difference In the two, for Herod belonged to the Sadducees. There was, however, quite a difference between these two parties. The teaching of the Pharisees laid great emphasis upon the ceremonial observance of the law and the traditions of the elders. The Sadducees laid great emphasis upon the denial of the supernatural, they did not believe In the resurrection from the dead. There was this in common, however, that they both substituted the false for the true. Answer to the Question. The misunderstanding of this warning upon the part of the disciples was a columon occurrence and continued until after Pentecost. In this case, however, Jesus, tells them plainly why they did not understand (v. 17). Jesus knew and could read their hearts (Heb. 4:13). How like the disciples of old are we today. Forgetting the miraculous feeding and the careful gathering of the fragments, each new doubt causes us to "reason one with another"?whereas the.se memories ought to relieve us from all care or anxiety. Happy is that man who can discern these signs and read the answer to the question of v. 21 In the light of God's acts and providences In the past. The disciples had been with Jesus - 1 ?I ?~ ~ nhcorvoil his niiehtv ii iOIIfi I line anu acts, yet they confused the material with the spiritual It was against this sort of leaven he warned them, rather than some kind of bread. We now turn to the third section of our lesson, the healing of the blind man vv. 22-26. There are four cases of restored eyesight mentioned in the gospels, three of whom are brought, and one came alone. In this rase others bring the man and intercede for him (v. 22). Last week we observed a case of a progressive cure and here we have another. Jesus led the man by the hand outside the village and making clay with spittle opened his eyes Again we would emphasize the fact that "they observed him. that they might accuse him," and hence every act on each separate occasion had a significance and a suggestiveness for that partic* ? ? or n n 11 r o 11' Jr. ular occasion, ? iuc<unu6 .. relevant at any other time. Why this man did not see at first we are not told, but surely 'twas through no fault on the part of Jesus. Nor was it the mere use of the spittle that effected the cure, but ratber a demonstration of the fact that Jesus can heal with or without means This gradual process is also an Illustration of the developing work of grace In the human heart, 2 Peter 3:18: I Cor. 13:9-12. The Golden Text seems to be at variance with the facts revealed in this lesson and yet when we turn from examining the disciples with their lack of perception and from the Pharisees whose hard hearts demanded a sign and gaze upon Jesus as he deals with these two classes and with the blind man we see the truth In the text. He is the Light and by his patient dealing, by his rebuke, by his instruction, he led them to the light that they might have a true understanding of life. As we, too, follow him we must be conscious of our dullness. ~pll a Smoke Pleasure ai - for the Man I **+ MM I u., h ^There is smoke pleast and North Carolina bright lcr other pipe tobacco.
