Synopsis?With his grandfather,
small Ramsey Milholland Is watching
the "Decoration Day Parade" <
In the home town. The old gentleman,
a veteran of the Civil war,
endeavors to Impress the youngster
with the significance of the <
great conflict, and many years afterward
the boy was to remember
his words with startling vividness.
In the schoolroom, a few years
afterward. Ramsey is not distln- I
gulshed for remarkable ability, i
. though his pronounced di-likes are
arithmetic, "Recitations" and German.
In sharp contrast to Ramsey's
backwardness Is the precocity l
of little Dora Yocum. a young lady
whom In his bitterness he denoml- j
nates "Teacher's Pet." In high
school, where he and Dora are
classmates, Ramsey continues to ]
feel that the girl delights to manl- ]
#fest her superiority, and the vindictiveness
he generates becomes
alarming, culminating in the reso- I
lutien that some day he will i
"show" her. At a class picnic Ramsey
Is captured bag and baggage
by Milla Ruit, the class beauty. '

love. I

CHAPTER V. (
The next morning Ramsey came Into {
l?ls father's room while Mr. Milholland i
was shaving, an hour before church v
time, and it became apparent that the {
son had something on his mind, though
for a while he said nothing. (
"Did you want anything, Ramsey?" ;
"Well?" ,
"Didn't want to borrow my razors?" (
"No, sir." j
Mr. Milholland chuckled. "I hardly 0
supposed so seriously! Shoving Is a t
I irrpnf mikflncp nnd the longer vou keen t
away from It the better. And when t
you ?Io. you let my razors alone, young v
feller!" u
i "Yes, sir." (Mr. Mllhollnnd's razors s
were safe. Ramsey had already r
achieved one of his own, but he practiced
the y.rt In secret.) c
"What is it you really want, Ram- t
sey?" (]
"I guess I don't want anything."
"Money?" . "
"No, sir. You gay' me some Frl- \
day." s
Mr. Mllholland turned from his mirror
and looked over the edge of a s
towel at his son. In the boy's eyes
there was such a dumb agony of Inter- 0
rogation that the father was a little j
startled. v
"Why. what is It, Ramsey? Have 0
you?" He paused, frowning and won- n
derinp. "You haven't been getting Into
some mess you want to tell me ^
about, have you?"
"No. sir." j
Ills tone was meek, but a mute distress
lurked within It. bringing to the ^
father's mind disturbing suspicions,
and foreshadowlngs of Indignation and ^
of pity. "See here. Ramsey," he said,
"if there's anything you want to ask
me, or to tell me. you'd better out with
If and get It over. Now, what Is it?" v
. "Well?it isn't anything." 1
"Are you sure?" ^
Ramsey's eyes fell before the severe
and piercing gaze of bis father. "Yes, 1
sir."
Mr. Mllholland shook his head doubtfully;
then, as his son walked slowly ^

Ms toilet In a somewhat uneasy frame
of mind. Ramsey had undoubtedly 1
wanted to say something to him and 1
the boy's expression hnd shown that
the matter In question was serious, 1
distressing, and. It might be, critical. s
In fact It was?to Ramsey. Having ^
begun within only the last few hours ^

and believing his father to 1
be possessed of the experience and au- 1

thority lacking In himself, Kaiuscy had
eoiue to get him to settle a question
which hud been upsetting him badly,
in bis own room, since breakfast. What
he wanted fo know was: Whether it
was right to wear an extra handkerchief
showing out of the coat breastpocket
or not, and. if it was right?
ought the handkerchief to have a col- j
need border or to be plain white? Hut !
he had never before brought any such
perplexities to his father, and found
himself f<M> diffident to set them forth.
However, when lie left the house
a few minutes later, lie boldly showed

ate this bndge of fashion, or unfashlon,
throughout the morning; and suffered
a great deal thereby.
Meantime, his father, rather relieved
thut liumsey had not told his secret,
whatever it was, dismissed the episode
from his mind and Joined Mrs. Milholland
at the front door, ready for
church.
"Where's Ramsey?" he nsked.
"He's gone ahead," she answered, j
buttoning her gloves as they went
xlong. "I heard the door quite a little
while ugo. Perhaps he went over to
walk down with Charlotte and Vance.
Did you notice how neat he looks this
morning?"
"Why, no, I didn't; not particularly.
Does he?"
"I never saw anything like it before,"
said Mrs. Milholland. "lie only
lias three neckties, hut I saw him several
times In each of them. He must
liave kept changing and changing. I
wonder?" She paused.
"I'm glad lie's begun to take a little
?are of his appearance at last. I'll
rave to take a look ut him and give
lim a word of praise. I suppose he'll
ie In the pew when we get there."
But Ilanisey wasn't In the pew; and
?"hnrlotte, his sister, and her husband,
who were there, said they hadn't seen
inythfng of him. It was not until the
nenibers of his family were on their
way home after the services that they
aught a glimpse of him.
They were passing a church a little
listunce from their own; here the congregation
was just emerging to the
pen, and among the sedate throng
lescending the broud stone steps ap?eyred
an accompanied Ramsey?and
i red, red Ramsey he wus when lie

and brother-in-law staring up at

up the street in front of them. !
In hoarse whispers, Mrs. Milholland j

You ought to he ashamed."
"I couldn't he'.p it," he exclaimed.

"Don't look round!" she warned him ;

"Hush! Don't look rouud again, <

"I think her name's Itust," Mrs. Miliolland
informed him. "I don't know

rould he pleasanter if he'd taken a 1

peaking to the point?"if this sort of '
hing must begin, 1 wish lie might have 1

laughters of our own friends, like I

Upon the spot she began to undergo 1
he mortifications of a mother who '
ins expected her son, Just out of in- 1
ancy, to look about him with the eye '
if a critical matron of forty-five.
Moreover, she was indiscreet enough
o express her views to Ramsey, a '
veek later, producing thus a scene of
lseless greut fury and no little sound. 1
"I do think it's in very poor taste 1
o see so much of any one girl, Ramsey,"
she said, and, not heeding his
irotest that he only walked home from
school with Milla, "about every other
lay," and that it didn't seem any 1

with Mllla, was to Invite her to "go

Evening after evening they walked
and walked and walked, usually In

half a block?with Albert I'axton and
Sudle Clews, though Ramsey now and

I. Naaman's Fatal Defect (v. 1). 1
He was a great man, but a leper. c
He was held In high esteem by the
king, because through him the Syrl- c
, aus had been delivered from their eneI
mles. He was not only a capable u
general, but was a very brave mun? a
, valorous. 'Every unregenernte man,
regardless of his gifts and possessions, '
, has tills one fatal defect. He may be v
p mighty warrior, a great orator, a
, gifted writer, a man of profound learn- 11
Ing, an honorable statesman, but If he '
Is un unbeliever in Christ, he Is a lost v
sinuer?a leper. Leprosy Is a type of
sin. Note Its characteristics:
Loathsome, hereditary, Infectious,
separating, destructive, deceitful, Incurable
by man. , *
II. The Faithful Witness (vv. 2-4).
This was a Jewish maid who hud ~
been captured by marauding Syrluu ?
troops who made frequent Incursions ?
Into Israel's land for the purpose of i;.:
plunder. Though she was the victim :j:
of a great wrong, she was not bitter ij:
against her captors. She, no doubt.
was lonely and home-sick and perhaps :j:
frightened, but she trusted God for
her keeping, and was thoughtful to fi
do good. Daniel at a later date was
carried away captive, and he likewise
was used of God to bless many. Joseph
Is another example of one who {
was put Into a hard place, but became
a blessing to others, even to the saving
of his brothers, who sold him. 0
Many times even children are placed
in positions of hardship and suffering, 11
but if they trust In God and are faith,
ful to Him they can do good. This n
Jewish maid pointed out to this great
man the One who could heal him. J
Many are the persons who have been 11
pointed to Christ as the Healer of
souls by children.
III. Naaman Seeking the Healer (vv. j'
5-9). 11
1. He goes with a letter of Intro- 11
duction and great gifts (v. 5). In the
East valuable gifts are taken ulong 1
when In quest of some favor. In this
case the value was perhaps $80,000.
2. lie goes to the wrong place (vv. *
G, 7). The maid did not suggest that ^
if Nnamun would he with the king he j
would he recovered of his leprosy, but
with the prophet of God. We should (J
be very cureful that w* go to the ^
right place with' our troubles and sins.
Neither the king's power nor Naainan's c
money could avail anything in this ^
case. The prophet of God can bring
greater blessing than kings and rich ^
men. <
3. Nan man at the door of Ellsha
(vv. 8, 9). Elislia, upon learning of j
the king's embarrassment, sent to him,
saying, "I.et him come now to me."
Naamnn appeared before Elishu's door t]
in great splendor. He did not come
as a suppliant, but as one who could t)
pay a goodly sum for healing.
IV. Naaman Healed (vv. 10-15). p
1. Ellsha's message (v. 10). Go j,
wash in Jordan seven times. tj
2. Naaman's anger (vv. 11, 12). He tl
thought that Elisha should have shown r,
deference to him. People today think
that their rank and wealth entitle
them to different treatment by God.
They turn away from the humble way
of the Cross, God's method of salvntion.
Rich and poor, high and low
are alike In God's sight. Reasonings
of the flesh must be supplanted by the
obedience of faith.
3. Nnaman's obedience (vv. 13, 14).
Through the earnest entreaty of his
servants his pride and prejudice were
overcome, and he did what the prophet
commanded. The result of his obedience
was that Ills flesh "came again
as the flesh of a little child." lT
4. h'aaman acknowledges Jehovah
(v. 1*). After his cleansing he came
again to the prophet and said, "Now *
1 know that there is no God in all the
earth, but in Israel." The vital point
of teaching in this lesson is how near- g
ly Naaman missed being heuled.
The three enemies which almost kept
him from being healed were: (1) Pride
(v. 11). He was Insulted because the I p
man of God did not come out to such ' f
| a distinguished man as he was. (2) | p
Preconceived opinion (v. 11). "I q
thought." Many sinners procrastinate p
because they have preconceived opin- j
Ions as to how God ought to snve. (3) e
Prejudice (v. 111). Itivers of Damns- t!
cus are better than Jordan. Count- n
| less thousands are lost by these ene- v
I mies. God has provided only one way a
to save men from their sins?the way <
I of the Cross. I<
t
Power of Young Men.

I man! lie becomes a power in any i c
, calling or business in which he may ,
j employ his best talents. He is a pow- i
k or in the church, and the world needs j

The man who is convinced that he

as stopped trying, and when a man
tops trying he begins to slide buck

Of all the futile unprofitable employlents,
that of envying another man's

THE FINGER NAILS
AS A general rule, when the nails
are short, It Is a sign of sharpness
and quickness of Intellect
and the ability to learn easily. These
Indications most be confirmed, of
course, by a study of the line of the
head, which must be good; that Is, ^
clear and strong.
If the line of Apollo, which runs;
up Into the finger of Apollo, the third
finger, Is also good, the short nails, %
I mean wit, and In some eases Irony.
"Short-nailed subjects make the
best journalists, by reason of their
love of criticism and their readiness
to engage In any dispute or contention,"
says Heron-Allen, a well known .
writer on palmistry. He holds also
that In a good-nature^ and happy
hand, or In a lazy hand, short nails
denote a spirit of mockery and of
good-humored sarcasm, frivolity,
criticism and contradiction.
Of course, It must be understood
that by "short nails" are meant those
that are short from base to tip, not
those that are shortened by the nervous
habit of biting them. The latter
Is an indication of nervousness, ?
melancholy, and worry, especially If
the finger tips are spatulated.

among the bad conditions they
claim to deplore.
Those who become disheartened in
doing good, because of the constant
fault-finding, need a new estimate of
the Importance of the work In which
they are engaged. Instead of being
sensitive of criticism, It would be
much more to their credit if they accepted
fault-finding as something to
be expected; then their efforts would
likely be more effective In accomplishing
the amount of good they set out
to do.
On the whole, the Influence of religious
work, even though slow and
disappointing at times, is responsible
>for the high moral code under which
virtually all the civilized world
operates. There may be evasion# of
the tme course which is generally accepted
as the pathway everyone should
tread. But, nevertheless, as a rule
people don't side-step very often without
experiencing a pang of regret and
without lowering their estimates of
themselves.
It is always disappointing when
those who teach others stray from the
proper course themselves. But? It la
well to remember that no one Is perfect

South African Locust Plague.
Locusts In immense swarms which
covered the permanent way and
brought the engine to a standstill held
up a train on the Groaff Relnet line,
South Africa, for two hours. Passengers
and officials, by sweeping steadily
with Improvised brooms for two
hours, continued partially to clear the
line to allow the Journey being resumed.
The Insects were a couple
of feet deep in places.
