NORA'S BLUE EYES One of Many Romances of the Great Receiving Room at Eliis Island. By HAROLD CARTER. Dr. Sergius OTlanahan. stationed at his post in the great receiving room at Ellis island, examining immigrants for trachoma, let his hands fall upon Ills apron and gasped. He found himself staring into a sweet face upturned twinkled with fun and then suddenly to his and into two blue eyes that clouded with sorrow. "Nora Mulcahy!" he muttered "Glory be! I guess there's nothing the matter with your eyes, Nora. How did you get here?" "Whist! You're holding up>the line. Sergius," said Nora. "I'll see you afterward at the place they're, sending me to, unless they won't let me go there."* Then she was gone and Sergius O'FIanahan was resuming his daily prosaic task of examining eyes. He looked into several hundred pairs that morning, but none of these affected him in the least like the blue eyes of Nora Mulcahy, his former sweetheart. "Mulcahy?" asked the ofiicial to whom he applied. He turned to his register. "That little Irish girl? They're holding her in the detention room until her man comes, lie was to have met her. They won't let her in if he doesn't come." So Sergius found her in the detention room, her eyes plteously red. her face white, her lips trembling. At the sight of him a faint Hmile came to her lips, and presently she was twinkling "Nora, .'a It Too Late?" He asked Softly. with laughter again. Nora was never , sad for more than a few minutes together. "Sure. Nora, this is a bad business." said the young doctor, sitting down | beside her. "I hear you're to be married." "That I am." answered Nora, looking sidewise at him. "It's a bad business." said O'Flanahan again. "Who is it, Nora darlin'?" "You mustn't call me that. Sergius. nor squeeze my hand." said Nora nrlmlv. "I wouldn't have thought it of you. Doctor O'Flanahan." "I'm not squeezing it. Nora; I'm just holding it." said Sergius. and, a3 she made no protest, he continued holding it. "Who is the lucky man'." he continued. "la it Piggy MaeShane?" "Now do you think that I'd be after marrying MacShane?" cried Nora indignantly. "No, indeed it isn't." "Then it's Teriv MacBride: bad luck to him." cried Sergius. "I knew he'd get you, Nora, if you didn't take care. Is it MacBride?" "No, it isn't MacBride." said Nora faintly. "And please?please don't nsk- mp. You'd be so iealous." "Then ! know who it is for sure.'" said the young doctor. "It's Ellis O'Flahertv. Ellis, who always boasted that lie'd get you and went to Chicago four years ago and made his pile fattening pigs." "And what if he docs fatten pigs. Sergius O'Flanahan?" exclaimed Nora Indignantly. "He's worth his ten thousand dollars today, is Ellis, if he's worth a penny. Mind you." rhe added. "I'm not saying that it is Ellis, though."' "I know it's Ellis," answered Sergius O'Flanahan gloomily. "I knew he'd get you. He always beat me out of everything. Do you remember when he won the pig at the fair by staying on the mule when 1 got pitched into the mud? He was always great on pigs. Ellis was. Ah Nora, if only you hadn't turned me down when I asked you. before 1 left the Old Sod to walk a lonely wander er over the earth. Twice 1 asked you and each time you said no." "Twice!" exclaimed Nora. "Why Kills asked me seven times before he sailed and wrote me five times after ward. Why didn't you try me again Sergius?" she continued softly. The young doctor edged closer to ward her. "You'd?you'd have taker me. Nora?" he whispered. Then he saw that the tears stood ir her eyes again. He clasped her ir his arms, and she did not resist but i lay there. "Nora, is it too late?" he aeketi scftly. "We were a couple of young fools to quarrel over nothing at all. asthore. And all the years I've been , in America I've been seeing your sweet face before me night and day. darlin'. And when I wrote you from Newark, when I had ray last Job there, i was sure you d come out to me, but you didn't even answer me. Wouldn't you rather take a fine, rising young doctor with a government job than old Hills O'Flahcrty. with his ten thousand dollars and his pig sticking?" Nora was smiling up at Mm as she lay in his arms. "Yes, Sergius, darling. I'c like to," she whispered. "Hut now?now that they've gent a telegram to the man I've come out to marry I'm afraid it's too late. He may be here any moment. And how would I look, walking off with the doctor? If only I d known you were here. How long have you been at Ellis Island, Sergius?" "A month last Saturday," the doctor answered. "Why?" "O. nothing." sighed Nora. "Nora, asthore," whispered Sergius. "It isn't too late. I think I can square the folks here. They can't hold you so long as you've got some means of support. And I can support you, Nora, yes, even if I lose my place in consequence. And I guess a woman's always privileged to change her mind." "And what about Ellis, Sergius?" inquired Nora demurely. "It Is Ellis, then?" "I'm not saying it's Ellis," Nora protested. Sergius OFlanahan snapped his fingers. "Nora," ho said, "you always were a tease. If I'd had a grain of sense in the old days I'd have captured you and carried you to the priest and made you marry me before you knew what I was doing to you. Hut it isn't too late yet. And as for Ellis, a man who lets a chance like you slip through his fingers isn't worth the having. Now I've got you and I'm going to ke?p you. Come along and see the commissioner." He led her out of the detention room, along the corridor, and up the stairs to the room in which the offices of the commissioner are situated. He paused at the door. "I'd like to see you a minute, sir," he called "( ^me in, O'Elanahan." the commissioner answered. "Let the lady come in. Jly the way, here's a telegram Just come for you. I held It here, knowing you'd be up for the board meeti r* rr VnuM hotfor nnon it " The doctor tore open the envelope and pulled out the missive inside. He read: "Yob. Sergius Nora." It had been resent from Newark And the place of dispatch was Ellis island. Nora was looking over his shoulder. Now. as he began to understand, she snatched the telegram out of - his hands. ' Don't you understand, you stupid?" she whispered. "It was you. I sent it to you at Newark when I landed here. It's you. you, you, you, and not Ellis O'Flaherty at all." A sound behind them made them start. The commissioner, with his back turned, was coughing exceedingly loudly. "I beg your pardon, doctor." he said, turning round. "What was it that you wanted to see me about?" fopyright, 1912. by W. G. Chapman.) JUDGE WILLING TO PLEASE Protesting Prisoner Escaped With Light Sentence After He Had Pjt Up an Argument.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department Tlie Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 22 FOR AND AGAINST KIM.LESSON TEXT-Luke 9:13-62. GOLDEN TEXT?"He that i.: not against us is for us. Lu..c This lesson naturally falls into three divisions: 1. The mistaken zeal of the disciples of Jesus, vv. 49.50: II. The intrepid zeal of Jesus, vv. 51-56, and III. The lack of zeal on the part of soine would-be followers of Jesus, vv. 57-62. Evidently monopolistic ideas are not a modern development. The desire to control all religious authority has given rise to the most damnable blotB on the history of the Christian church. Christian intolerance % one of the devil's sweetest morsels. "And John answered" not the impetuous Peter. Who it was that had spoken we do not know, but evidently it was Jesus. Two things are without . dispute: (1) The unknown one was doing the work, and (2) he was giving Jeeus the glory, Luke 10-17. Whether he ceased at the command of John , we cannot say. It has been suggested that could we have heard the tone of John's voice perhaps we should have gathered that John was not quite sure he had dene the right thing, but he is frank and tells Jesus why he gave his command, viz., "because he followed not with us." Work in Christ's Name. This spirit has always been one of the serious drawbacks in the advancement of tho kingdom, lteiong to our party, fellow our methods, or else quit working. There are, of course, wrong methods which will never produce right results, but if a man is do1 ing Christ's work and (iojrig it in Christ's name we need to beware of allowing selfishness, the traditions of men, or the fact that "we never saw it on this wise" to allow us to hinder that man in his work, see Mark 9:3941 Scholars are divided as to >.he interval of time between verses 50 and 51, but the second section is a wonderful illumination of the sort of zeal Jesus desires in his followers. Verse 51 is one of the most sublime ii: the entire Hible. Where can wo find anything like it? Jesus saw not the bickerings of the disciples as to place and power: he saw not the slights cast upon him by both Jew and Samaritan; Jesus saw Jerusalem and beyond that Calvary, and as steadfast as a flint "h*? sot liia face to go to Jerusalem." All of redemption, all of Pentecost, all of "this age" and the glorious consummation of "this age" is bound up , in that intrepid zeal of him who when "the days were well nigh come that he should be received up" set his face "steadfastly." Certain of the Samaritans refused to receive him and his party. This time John has another to speak with him, James. They again show the spirit of intolerance and to it they add that of vindictiveness. As we go before him to prepare the way are we entirely free from making a similar mistake? These Samaritans acted in Ignorance. Perhaps, as revealed in v. 53, they saw that, he did not intend to go to their \illage anyway isee also John 4:40-42). Stories of Three Men. In the third section we have before us the stories of three men whom Jesus met. each of whom lacked sufficicnt zeal to become bis true followers. The first impulsively answers some emotion of his heart and assures Jesus that he will follow ' whlth crsoever mou gcesi. jcsus uiu uuw rebuke him, for the man had hut little realisation of v.hat was implied. "I'll go with him through the garden." we sing glibly. Let us pause and honest Iv answer the question, "Will I go?" "Am I willing to pay the price?" 1 (John IT.:20 and f. Peter 2:Di.) lie who had set his face steadfastly simply op'ns as it were the deep loneliness of his heart and gives this man a faint suggestion of that poverty of 1 hirn "who was rich, yet for our sakeg became poor" (2 Cor. 8:91. This in one of the few references Jesus made as to his own condition. The second > man secrr.B to be of more importance, inferentially. at least, for Jesus com mands him to "follow." Notice Jesus does not say admire me, nor even worship me, but "follow me." Tills man seems to have a very high sense of duty, hi3 ebligation to his parents and to the amenities of society. This ' man's mistake was in placing anything. no matter how important, in 1 the place of the kingdom. Jesus doee ' not moan for us to neglect such a : plain duty, but this man is pleading for a delay, and had it not been this ' excuse it would have been some other one. The third man also had something he wanted to do first. He expressed i great determination (v. CI), but like i Lot's wife, he wanted one more look at the world he was going to leave. > Christ's words are significant. Obey i the prompting of your heart. Do not I look backward to the world, but look - forward to the kingdom. The only - possibility of your running the race t before you, of plowing a straight fur r row. is like the Master to set your face i "steadfastly." If we hang onto the - world we are "none of bis." If we ) hang on to him we must give up the t anrld. I I. lUMMlllMD I ^lilLL'""1 "'I I..-TT- " 1 i ^ I ALCOHOL-3 per cent ;h A\egctab!c Preparation for As& similating the Food arv?
