t KOM M BIG SEA
Nora and Kitty Had Plenty to
Talk About.
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

ntght," he said with a wiotful glance
up the steep, rocky path that led to
the Bummit.

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.

t was washed overboard. 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.
He told her who he was and all
about the little Island which he had

so seldom visited that If he had not ,
arrived she might have starved there j
unless she had set a signal of distress
flying.
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

"Hurray!"" yelled Jack happily.
"She's mine?finding's keeping!"

WANTED $5,000,000 IN GOLD
And the Bank of England Had to Hua
tie Out and Get It for Depositor.
"All In gold, please."
These are word9 heard many times
a day by the cashier of a bank on
presentation of a check. And In this
instance they were spoken by an ordlnary
sized, quiet looking gentleman
to one of the cashiers of the Bank of
England
Nonchalantly the latter picked up
the check, and at the same time as
be examined It made by force of habit
for the till.
Then he drew up suddenly and carefuily
scrutinized the customer, for the
check was made out for ?1,000,000!
Possibly he thought the possessor of
the check was one of those amiable
lunatics obsessed with the idea that
he is worth endless money?not an
uncommon experience of a bank
cashier.
But In fact the gentleman was one
of the directors of the English Sewing
Cotton company, which had arranged
to buy out for cash the leading
American concern, the Wlllimantic
Thread company, of the same business.
and the money was required to
ship to America in order to save the
rate of exchange, which would amount
to many thousands of pounds. The
money was to be shipped by the

Jimson was a little, sharp-eyed sho??|

weary of the oft-repeated tale and remarked:
"Well, you seem to like it.
You always take it willingly. Why
don't you pick up soniething and hit

The wife considered the matter, and
the next time her lord began to beat

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 3.
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.
