"When yoo, ueN ?oId| away," Qltasbeth retorted, "tart It about tlmb tor ooe- of your trips?" 'Tea." Carltoo answered, 1 ought to ba la. New York this week." > He frowned; It waa diplomacy to pretend these business tripe a bore and a bother. Otherwise, thib two elderly and dominating sisters who were his housekeepers and companions, would feel themselves cheated of the participation of a pleasure. E As a tuatter of fact, Carlton Saunders, 'in the prosy regime of his small town home, looked forward to these escapes Into an outer world with secret anticipation and enjoyment. uuzaoetn ana tvatnerine were good sisters, annoylngly anxious concerning his welfare. J. Carlton appreciated their solicitude, while he fretted under the constant surveillance. Thete were those who Insisted that the kindly man might long ago have rejoiced in a houie of his own with a wife to share It, had it not been for Elizabeth's and Katherlne's rule. But the brother in his heart refuted this. Were his sisters not bringing before him constantly possible applicants for matrimony? "Yes," he answered Elizabeth again, '1 must be In New York this week." "We will pack your valise," {Catherine said, "and don't forget to wear your rubbers." But when he walked Into the New fork hotel a few days later, he had left, unconsciously, his habitual dlflllence at home. His name on the regis:er was signed merely Jack Saunders. The clerk bowed In greeting. "Can't give you your usual room," is explained apologetically, "we aie llled up." The room the bellboy ushered him nto was comfortable enough. But as le turned to place coat and hat on the mnger, J. Saunders stared; a filmy due cloud of something had forestalled llin there. While oil about the small *oom was the Indefinable fragrance of that mystical romance, which he had nlssed. Lilac, or Illy of the valley or ust sweet springtime?what was the illudlng odor which enchanted his lenses? A tap on the door. Carlton turned pilltlly. -A woman's face wus raised ;o his?her eyes were as blue as the limy cloud on the hanger, but they were not the eyes of a young girl?nor ret the calm gazing eyes that Elleibetb would have recommended. "1 am afruld I left some of my belongings In this room," the sweetraced woman said. "I had decided to occupy It when the clerk discovered hat the one I prefer w'ns vacated. So they carried my grip In there. 1 un sorry?" she paused, and then at lis bow of permission, guthered up ler apparel and went on her wny. Sut the breath of springtime remained. When J. Carlton went into the dlulng nail at evening, he saw the young wornin seated alone at a secluded tuhle. He liked" the plainness of her blue serge dress, which was such a different plainness from Jullu Well's, or his sister's; and he liked the piquant hat that she becomingly wore. As he lassed down the corridor to his room, t gave lilm an unaccountable feeling if relief, to hear the woman nt the mil desk address the lady of the blue lovjd as "Miss Darby." Miss, then ihe was not married. He speculated tbout her, as he bent over his writing, rhe usually matter-of-fact John Carlton could not write; he could not take Hold of his work; he decided to retire. And there on the floor at his feet, lay a pair of small blue slippers, quilted ?atln slippers with ridiculous fluffy pompons upon either toe. So, she had forgotten these. They were the sort of slippers a Cinderella of past dreamng might have chosen?to slip on in the firelight. The following morning He sank into a chair In an ad(olnlug "coffee bouse" and opened tils paper. Springtime floated provocatively around him, lilac and llly-oftbe-valley springtime. Two very blue ?yes smiled over a coffee cup, oppolite. "Good morning," greeted the lady of he blue cloud, "tnauk you for return ng my slippers." "I travel," she told blm upon their third chance breakfast together, "for i linen company. Imported linens. ?y knowledge in that line was my >ne chance- for self-support after my father died. It's a good business, but t leaves me homeless. That's?the Ipoa'honlf " "I have a home?** Carlton said musingly, "an old place, with bushea around It." "Not," asked the woman eagerly, 'not lilac bushes?" Carlton nodded. "How I would love It," she exMaimed. "I am old,", he answered her Irrelerantly. "I was mourning over my bald head this morning." "So much?" asked the lady oppollte. "that you quite missed the clear foxith of your eyes?" When Elizabeth and Katherlne redelved a telegram some days later, they itsred at each other In speechless amazement. ' , "Married," rea^l the brief message Trom their brother, "bringing my wife home with me." Art.

Its occasion ( . 8). wealthy woman of Shunem. observing that Ellsha passed continually by her house In his Journeys, was moved with com-. passion toward bits. She determined according to her ability to supply his needs. 2. Its nature (vv. 8-11). "She constrained him to eat bread" (vv. 8r 0). As a result of Iter earnest treaty, as often as he passed by her house he turned In to eat bread. She received a prophet In the name of a prophet. II. Elisha Endeavors to Repay. Her Kindness (vv. 12-17). S 1. He offers to ask a favor from the king or bead of the army (v. 13). This offer implies that Ellsha had Influence at the royul court. The woman's rejffy shows her truly to be a great woman. She did not desire to change the calm and quiet of her home for a place even In the royal court. Her answer also shows that her motive In extending generosity to the prophet* was entirely unselfish, purely because he was God's prophet. 2. Ellsha announces the giving of a son to her (vv. 16, 17). Through Inquiry of Gehnzl it was discovered that this woman was childless. So the prophet made known to her that In about a yeur from that time she should experience the Joy of a mother. III. The Coming of 8orrow to the Shunammite's Home (vv. 18-21). The child which brought joy to her homo was suddenly taken away. How many homes are like this! Scarcely do we begin to enjoy life until death enters and snatches away some loved one. The'cause of his death was probably sunstroke, for the heat ot the sun at harvest time in this country Is very Intense. When the boy complained of his head, the father sent him home to his mother. By noon the child died and the itiother laid him upon the bed of the man of God. Faith prompted her' to do this. She did not make preparation for burial, but for restoration to life (Heb. 11:35). IV. The Mother Goes to Etisha (vv. 22-28). When one Is in trouble or sorrow the best place to go Is to the man ot God who is able to give counsel aud comfort. Happy is the one who In the days of prosperity and sunshine has so related himself to Ood and Ills prophets that he can have help and sympathy in time c? trouble. 1. She took hold of Ellsha's feet (v. 27). This wua .the eastern way of enforcing a petition. She passed by Gehazl. She would not be content with the servant when the-master could be reached. 2. She chided the prophet ( . 28). "Did I desire a son?" This implies that it would have been better not to have had a child thun to' have lost him ho soon. V. The Child Restored (vv.. 20-37). 1. Gehazl's fruitless errand (vv. 2981). He hurried away and placed the prophet's staff upon the child's face, but it did not revive. Perhaps the fault lay In Qehazl?his lack of faith. The woman seemed to perceive his lack; she would not trust him. She would not go until Ellsha was willing to go along. This fruitless errand of Gehazi shows the worthlessness of the forms of religion when used by those who have no faith in them. 2. Ellsha's efficient service (vv. 8287). He went to the bouse where the dead child wai. (1) lie prayed (v. S3). He knew that no one but God could help, so he closed the door, shutting all others out. Our service 10 men should be preceded by prayer. (2) He stretched himself upon the child (v. 34). He brought his warm body Into touch with the cold body of the child. God blesses and saves through the warm touch of those who re in touch with Him. After we pray we should get Into actual touch with those dead In trespasses and sin. God's method of saving the world is through the ministry of saved men and women. A Daily Prayer. Keep hack thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me; then shall I be upright. and I shall be Innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer. ?Psalm 19:13-14. Wickedness As a Fire.
