The boyish looking young pastor of
Trinity church frowued darkly and
removed a footstool which stood in his
way in a very unelerical manner,
while the sweet faced old lady wbo sat
near by folded a letter which she had
been reading aloud.
"Well. David,"; she asked, "what
shall we do about it?"
"There is just one thing to be done,
of course." her son answered promptly;
"we must send for my brother's child 1
and ask her to make this her home."
The old lady readjusted her specta- j
cles and referred again to the letter.
"Itibhard was ambitious to be a great j
artist." she said slowly, "and 1 can
picture the lifelong struggle which j
ended only ;.i defeat. But at the lust
he remembered his mother.
Take care of my little girl.' he j*
writes. 'She is au irresponsible. <
thoughtless creature, sound and good f
at heart. Watch over her. 1 entreat ]
you. and use your Influence, if possi- U
ble, in persuading her to leave the ,
stage. A letter addressed to her prop- i
er name, "Miss M. E. Randolph, Gold- r
en Butterfly company, New York." will f
be forwarded wherever .she may be.' " r
And so it happened that Miss Itau- :
doiph. sitting in her dressing room at j*
the theater a few days late r. was hand- ,<
ed a letter, aud b r large dark eyes J]
grew wider and brighter stiii us sue j j
read this kindly invitation to become a r
member of tbe parsonage household. (
"Your grandmother and I will ,do all

note read, and the girl smiled at the
superscription?"L'avid Taul Randolph, A

Site leaned forward and made a little I
face iu the glass, then turned to get a j
better view of the golden wings sus- |r
j>. tfd from her shon trior*. "jVIy dear jt
uncle-ndhister," -she confided to ber
charming reflection, "I don't really be,

Telegram in Eastville were usually j T
associates^ with death or disaster, so f
wheu David Randolph received a yellow
enve'oj>e his no'her waited in
suspense as he nnd the brief message. ;
"What is it?" she asked impatiently, i
while his puzzled expression changed 1
to oil"* of amusement. q
"The Golden Butterflies have artived s
lu New York," he r.nswc-ed dryly, "and
I am to meet 'Maisie' at Eastville sta
ticn r* o o'clock tonight."
"Maisie." the old lady repented
doubtfully. fl
Rain eame pelting against the study i
windows, and the wind, screeching
dowu the garden path, throw wide the
door. A girl stood there in tlie aperture.

Cloak, whose hue rivaled tin* firelight; t
she tiited hack her head in order to !

"You did not hear nie knock." she
announced. "I'm Maisic." (

Ma isle laughed. "I 1 nerd -d t.i leave
New Y rk later." she said. "When
you I.;:< w me better you will learn that
the un-wpectod usually happens where
I am ei.jii-ernod."
With a sudden impulse the elder wo- j
man t > k the other, s arlet cloak and j
all. into hi r embrace.

an Impressive sight. It was a great
time of iubilation.
At the appropriate time the religious
unity of 1 he empire was to be demonstrated
by a general worship of the
gol-'e;. iuiaye of Bel-Merodach. Froclaui
rion w.s made that soon the
bands ' nr.M begin to play and that
then nil would be expected to fall
down and worship and reverence the
Image.
Courage of the Three Hebrews
Everything seemed to go well unti1
It was reported to the king that three
governors whom he had set over the
provinces had rebelled against his de
cree and refused to worship* the lmagp
of Bel-Merodach'? had defied the
king's power. Who were these three
disturbers -of Babylon's peace, spoil
ers of the great peace festival? They
were the three young Hebrews whom
the king had so graciously treated at
the time of their captivity and who
apparently owed so much to him.
The courage of these three Hebrews
stands out on the pages of history as
sublime! The king had reminded them
that none of the gods had been able
to deliver any people out of his hand:
their own city. Jerusalem, had been
overthrown. They could hope for no
rescue from the death that was bofore
tbem if they persisted in defying
the king of the whole earth. Their
answer was that their God. Jehovah,
they were sure, was quite able to deliver
them from the fiery furnace, or
from anything He might choose, and
would do so. But If tint and if they
were certain of it in advance?nevertheless,
they would be His faithful
servants and worship Him alone.
How sublime their faith and their
courage! Such faith and such courage

"Blessed Are They Who Put Their
Trust In Jehovah"
The Kins: was . seriously disappointed
at the only Inharmony that had occurred
In connection with his great
project, which he felt sure was to
work such blessings to all the earth,
and such honor to himself. In his fury
he commanded vthat the furnace should
be made seven times hotter.
The three Hebrews were bound In
their clothing, and some of the strongest
men of the king's guard were
commanded to throw dhem Into the
furnace. As the bound men were
thrown In. the flames came forth and
enveloped those who had thrown
them In. and destroyed them. The
king already had had some evidence
of the power of Jehovah God. and he
Intenfly watched the furnace. As the,
king looked toward the furnace, to his
uttm* astonishment he beheld four persons
walking In the midst of the fire. |
unharmed. He said to his counselor} I
"We cast three men luto the furnace. V
but. behold. I now sop four. free,
walking In the Are. and the fourth
has an appearance like a son of the
eons. What
had he done? What should
lit? now do? He called to the three.
Ye servants of the Most High God.
t one forth and come hither!" They
came. unharmed, with X^ot even the
smell of scorching upon their clothing.
Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged
the miracle and' praised the God who
had thus by His angel of power delivered
His servants that trusted In,
IUm. and who had detled the king's
mandates and yielded their bodies
that they might not serve nor worship
any god except their own God. Truly.
"Blessed are all they that put their
trust In Him."
