An hour later Millie Thorndyke was
looking at No. 108 Roelker street, sTtaTl
brick buiiding seeming very wide awake
with its numerous windows and liberal
displg y of signboards and. official shingles.
At each side of the door was a thin mar
ble slab with a list of name? of the in
mates of the building. In its appropriate
numerical place she found that of her
possible employer, over the words,
uReaJ Estate/'
Mr. Allison's office ? outside of which
she presently paused with a fluttering of
the heart and a short ne3s of breath due
wholly to excitement ? was on the third
Sight, in a cozy corner at the end of a
long, narrow hallway. At the moment
i- the temptation to flee became almost ir
resistible, but knowing hesitation would
be her join, she drew a long breath, and
pushing open the doer, crossed the
* threshold. It wa3 a large, clean, airy
. room, well furnished and carpeted, and
? it looked more inviting taan she had ex
pected. From beiu??l a, desk ? of tie
kiad known "roll-top" ? came a
ectetching sound, whicb, with a little
turt ot hair visible over the top, showed
the presence of the occupant.
As she made a step or two forward tflb
scratching ceased, and the connection
became apparent between the tuft of
hair and ? head, the owner where?x
straightened back in Iris chair and j
wheeled: about so that 3he could see
- him. \ \ ,
She thought him about thirty years '
old, though the fall brown beard he

sured herself he was Mr. Al'uson, she
timidly made knowa her errand.

' "I thick we shall get ob," he said at
the end of the first week, and she had

Gradually the newness of heT surround

as landeutiaie, about ten miles out of
town, whence he came every da.y on the
'? raitt^aod her early suspicion that he rcaa
unmarried' bad been continued by a
pirase from the has of a lady ca.?!e'r, who
rid playfully twitted him on the ways
ots crusty o>d bacheloriioo J. * *
One morning Mr. Morton en :ered the
->5ice in some haste.
"It's ailartaoged," she heard him say,
** 'and 1 ciad I must leave at once. I

t "No, I cannot," returned Mr. Allison,
who was a t the moment <Jeep. in t&p con

Morton made do reply, but Millie
shanced to look v.p jug then, and a he:
raa much startled at the reflection:?!
lis face, presented by a mirror hangiag*
i >a the opposite wall. .
Plainly Mr. Aliisott's words had not
leased him, lor the expression oa his
lark features vividly illustrated rage
ind disappointment.
When Mr. Allison sat down again
Morton had folly recovered himself to all
outward appearance, and after a little
? acre conversation in too low a tone for
her to understand it, he went awaj.
In the afternoon Mr. Allison astonished
? his clerk by asking if >he though she
jould take sole charge of the office for a
3ay or two. He was going to Boston at
! 5ve o'clock, and could not tell just when
| he should return.
Had .she d?red she would have tried
io dissuade him from going, for she was
?ure the result of his journey would be
; ;o put a large part ofhi?- property in
Norton's hands. She 'did not speak
! ;hen, bat she was so uaeasy she deter
j .nined to watch for an opportunity of
doing so.
By and by he happened to look up
tnd see her eyes resting on him, with an
>xpression which caused him to leave his
jesK and come to her side.
"What is it, Mil ? Miss Thorndyke?" !
be asked in a tone she had never heard
him use before; "you have something to
say to me.''
"I ? I ? yes," she stammered, and then
itopped short. She had not yet over
come a habit of flushing up whenever he
addressed her ?a habit not at all un
becoming in his eyes, though it was
painfully confuting to her.
Wiiile he was waiting for her to re-\
sever herself the office door opened,. at
* which he stepped back with an air of
annoyance, and, turning, confronted
Morton. Millie's chance was lost, for
I Morton stayed until train time, and the
two gentlemet* went out together.
"I will leave the safe for you to
lock," said Mr. Allison, in giving his
final directions. "You know how ? ehilt
the door hard to, turn the handle that
; works the bolts until it is square across,
land then turn the knob two or three
times toward the left."
After he was jjone she reproached her
self more than ever that she had Hot
spoken the warning that had been at her
tongue's end. It could have done no
harm, and would at least have put him
on his guard. But regrets were useless,
and she could only hope, rather for'
lomly, that all might turn out well.
Being in a somewhat disturbed state
; of mind, and having no work to do, she
j tried to compose herself with a new
book left in the office' by Mr, Ailison,
and she found it so interesting she was
loth to lay it down at 5 o'cloek, the hour
| of closing. As her supper would not be
ready before 6 :30, and her quarters at
j present were comfortable and quiet, she
determined to stay a while longer, ~$rs:
taking care to lock the door that she
might be secure from interruption. j
As she was aboat to settle down she
thought of the safe. She never before
had had occasion to lock a safe door,
. and carefully followed Mr. Allison's
directions.
"Ob, how heavy!" she exclaimed,
tugging at the ponderous weight, as she
drew it back for a long swing. "He
sa d I must shut it hard to," and exert
ing all her strength, she closed the door
with a bang. Then she shot the bolce
and turned the knob until a significant
little click told her all was secure.
, "There; now everything is fast," sh<
j' said.
And so it was, even more so than sh* :
thought, for in turning away a quici
' tug at her gown caused her to loos
down, when she saw with dismay sh( ;
had 3hut into the safe a part oi one o:
the fold* of her skirt.
One or two ineffectual pulls show?3
that toe iron monster could not be made
- to give up its gTip until its j*wa were
forced apart ? in other words until th<
door was opened ? which, as she neither
knew the combination nor had the nee
. essary strength, was of course out of th<?
question.
Had her gown been aa old one sh?
might hare freed herself by tearing th?
cloth, bat, it being a new and verj
pretty garment, she was unwilling hasti
* ly to offer it violence. She thought o
calling for help, yet what would i
serve? '
While she wa*jfc?ying to devise somr
means of drawing herself oat of her di
lemma, she heard a sound of approach
ing footsteps, which stopped outside th<
door, and were followed by the rattle o
a key in the keyhole.
Then she remembered with consterna
tion that she bad locked the door anc
the key was in the lock to the exclusion
of any other.
"Was eveT anything so stupid?'' sbi
exclaimed. "I have walked into a com
plete trap. I can't get out and no on?
??se can get in."
rhe person outside having probal^l;
guessed the reason of his nonadmission,
now kocked on the door and asked whc
was within. To her unbounded surprise
and relief she. recognized the voice of i
Mr. Allison.
But how could she let him in? On?
way presented itself to her ? it seemed
the only one. She did not hesitat*
long- A few movements of her nimbi*
nnger?; the bonds fell away and sh< '
quickly crossed the room.
"Mr. Allison," sbs called, "I am go- j
i&^toufclock the door now, but you
n$ust not come in for a minute."
YThen, turning the key, she hurried
b^ck to the safe, and reversing the littie
operation she hid just gone through,
was a^aih a prisoner. When Mr- A1U- :
son entered he1 looked at?ber with much
surprise, as well he might; but h?
compre^eadei^the situation even bsfore
she began to explain.
^'How careless of me to leave so un !
wieldy an affair for you to manage!" tw
ex^aimei, sel'-reproachfuily. "Had
not come back I should never have for
given myseif, though I scarcely thought
^?rt?ferru33te when I founi I must loai
my tram on account of the ktsy to mj
box in the safe deposit vaults, which j
forgot to take with me/'
! : While he wa* speaking she mover
aside out of his way, an 1 a hill-dozen
rapid tufas of the little kno'j enabled
him to throw back the bolts.
"I hope I shall never do anything
quite so foolish as that again," said
Millie, with a nervous little laugh, a? she
wit ldrew her imprisoned skirt, uk
smoothed the creased fold.
4*if you ever should chance to meet
with similar misfortune, may I be nea?
at hand to come to the rescue," he rc
turned, smiling.
At 6:15, so he told her, he intended t<
take the next train for Boston, thoujl
he seemed in no hurry to get away evi
Tently preferring the society of his e'er],
to a lonely wait at the railway station.
6 To her surprise he took pains to mak?
himself agreeable, and she was compeiie l
to admit he caold be very agreeabN
when be chose. The littie incident that
Had just occurred had suddenly changed
their relations to etch other and ad
vanced them to something like in
\ timacj.
She was very glad of this, for she had
determined to free her mind about
Morton at any cost, and now she felt
: only a small part of her former reluct
ance.
jUJ&08?v ?h* began at ths firs?
opportunity, "before you "went out you |
iskbd if I had anything to say to you.
t had and did not dare say it.1'
"Indeed, Miss Thorndyke! Am U
?hen, the object of so much dread?"
"Oh, no, sir," she answered, looking
lown at the carpet, not quite able to
? meet his eyes just then, 1 *on!y I feared
| you might think me impertinent or :
! officious." . j
"Net m the least, that would be lm
oossibie," he assured her. _
i "I want to know if you think? that j
1 is, if you are quite sure? -Mr. Morton is i
; wholly trustworthy?"
He was surprised. He looked at her j
' twice before replying. ^ _ |
"Your question implies you think j
I him otherwise. He came to me highly j
recommended, and he is the agent of a j
company in which some of the heaviest j
business men in New York are closely
? interested. Why do you doubt j
i him?" ^ {
For reply she told him what she had ;
jeen in Morton's behavior that morning i
i to excite her suspicions. He listened ;
j attentively, and she saw her words were t
making an impression.
" From parts of your conversation I
could not avoid hearing,** she said in j
conclusion. "I have inferred you mean ?
to s^ve some money into his charge. It j
is because I feel so sure he ought not to j
be trusted with it that I speak."
Before she could say more some one !
oanae-dOwn the passageway outside and
presently opened the office door. Mr.
Allison started up, and received from the
boy who entered a telegraphic message.
As he read it a curious look came ovei
his face, and in a moment he handed it
to her without a word. It was dated in
^few York and ran thus:
Stop negotiations wi'a Morton; have dis
covered crookeine?3. M. L. Sc Co.
She could well afford a feeling ol
.satisfaction as she read these words, and
there might have been a little of the "I
told you so" in the look she gave him a i
she returned him the paper.
"Yes," he said iu answer to the look;
honor where honor is due, alwayB. I
admit the superior keenness of your
penetration, and it has perhaps saved
m3 the half of my fortune, for which I
am very thankful to you. I did not
guess I had engaged a clerk who would
watch so well over my interests, and see
what I W83 blind to. Such devotion
deserves much better reward than I can
offer.
"Miss Thorndyke? Millie," he pur
sued, changing to a more serious tone .
and speaking with marke.i hesitation,
"may I ask if you would deign to? to
fill a more important position than you
have held? ? tnar? oi? of ? equal part
ner?"
He had been long enough in saying it,
but there was no mis taking his meaning.
Millie was too much astonished to speak.
"At least, I may believe my case not
quite hopeless?" he ventured, after wait
ing in vain for a word.
When she found courage to meet the
handsome blue eyes looking down at her
so tenderly, the last of her doubts was
swept away; .then she knew her love now
awakening to a fuTler life, had been bore
long before; and he, reading from th<
detphs of her heart what words coulc
not have told half so eloquently, claspet
with his strong arms tjxe treasure he n<
longer feared to call his own. ? Bostoi

sfcarfciQS on the campaign of the
*orij s conquest, was selecting His staff
???ers.- Tmere were plenty of students
S?i?S. wrdheads> and ^hite hands, and
Sd I0?8* ao.d refined tastes in Roma
and ^Jerusalem. Christ might have called

n^var a ^0QP of m*n who had

tn LrUd Ju kDuck,ei- He chos3 fisher
men, among ; other reason?, I think-, because
tbey were physically hardy. Rowing makes
f???f ani stoat cheiU Much dimh
in* of ratlines make* one*s head steady . A
rrlr** tempest wr^ptled men into gymnasts
ie Z?f* ot the church was rough
wort. Const did not want twelve invalids
hanging about Him, complaining all the
time how badly they felt. He leave* the
delicate students at Jerusalem and Rome
lor their mothers and aunt* to take cire of
and goes ^down to the seashore, and out of
the toughest material makes an apostle*hrp.
lhe ministry nee I more corporeal vigor
than any other claa*. Fine minds and good
intentions are important, hut there must ba
physical force to back them. The intellectual '
mill wheel may be well built and the grist
good, but there must be enough blood in
the mill race to turn the one and to grind
the other. . ** .
He chose fishermen also because tney were
used to hard knocks. The man who cannot
stand assault is not fit for the ministry. It
always has been anl always will be rough
work, and the man who, at every censure or
caricature, sits down to cry had better be at
some other work. It is no place for ecclesi
astical doll habies. A. man who cmnot
proach because he has forgotten his manu
script or lost his spectacles ought not to
preach at al). Heaveu deliver the church
from a ministry that Dreach in kid gloves
and from sermons in black morocxi covers I
These fisherman were rough and ready.
They had been in the sternest of all colleges.
when they were knocked over by the mtin
boom of the ship they entered the Sophomore,
when was>he 1 off by a great wave, they en
tered the Junior; when floating fon.two days
without Tood or drink on a plank they came
to the Senior, and when at last thdr ship
daihed on tbe beach in a midnight hurricane
they graduated with the first honor.
My text finds Jesus cinie aboard with one
of these bronzed men^ Simon by name. This
fisherman had been sweeping his net in shoal
water. "Posh our," says Christ,' "what is
the use of hugging the shore in this boat?
Here is a lake twelve miles long and six wide,
aud it is all popu'ated just waiting for the
sweep of your net. Launch out into the
deep."
Tho advice that ray Lord gave to 8imon
is as appropriate for us ptl spiritual
sense. The tact is that mo3t of us are just
paddling along tie shore. We are afraid to
venture out into the great despextf (rod and
Christian experience. We think that the
boat will be upset, or that we cannot "clew
down the m;zzen topsail," ani our cowardice
makes us poor fishermen. I think I hear the
voice of Christ commanding us, as He di 1
Simon on that day when bright* Galilee set
in among the groen hills ot Palestine, like
water flashing in an emeraidcup, "Launch
out into the deep."
This divine counsel comes flrat to all tho3i
who are pa idling]* the margin of Bible re
search. My father read the Bible through
three times after he was eighty yevs of ags ?
and without spectacles? not for tha mere
purpose of saying he bai been throa/h it s">
often, but for his eternal Droftt. John Wolby,
the brother-in law of Daniel Webster, .
learned to rea I after he was eighty-fouc
years of age in order that he Height become
acquainted with the Seriptures^ There is
no book in the world that demand* ^o much
of our attention as the Bible. Yatjiine
tenths of Christian men get no more than
ankle deep. They think io is a gooi sign not
to venture too far. Taey never as'c how ar
why. and if they see som3 Christian becom
ing inquisitive about the deep things of <*jl
they say: (,3e carefu-; you had bettsr not
go out do far from sbore."
My answer is: The farther you go fron
shore the better if you have the ri^ht kind
of stfip. -If you have woridly philojophy for
the hulk, and pride for a sail, an i saff con
ceit for the helm, the first squall will destroy
you. But if you take the Bible for your
craft, tbe farther you go the better, and
after you have gone ten thousanl furlongs
Christ will still co.nmn.ad, "Lauaoli out into
the deep/' Ask sorno such question a* "Who
is God?' ani goon for ten years asking it.
Ask it at the g its of every parable; amid
tbe excitemeut of every' miracle; by the soli
tariness of every patriarchal thrashing floor;
amid toe waite faces oH S'a'iacherib's slain
turned up into tne moonlight; amid the fly
ing chariots of the Got len City, i
Ask who Jesus is, and keep on asking ifc '
of every Bible li y, of every raven, of every
star, of everv crrtz id brain cured, of every
blind man co ne to sunlight, of every com
in a fish's moutb, of every loaf that got to
be five loaves, of every wrathful sea
pacified, of every pulseless ar u stretcned
torth in gi'atulatioo; ask it of His mother,
of Augustus, of Herod, of the Syro
Phoenician woman, of the damsel that woke
up from the death s!e=p, of Joseph, who had
Him buried, of the angel po3tel us sentiuei
ht His tonat>. of the dumb earth that SflQOi
ana groanea and thundered when He dv?d.
A missionary in France offered a Bible in
an humble dwelling. The man took it, tore
out a dozen pages and with tbem began to
light bis pipe, fc'ome years after the mission
ary happened in the same house The family
had just lost tfceir son in the Crimean war, j
and his Bible bad been sent back home. The
missionary took it up and saw that it was !
the very same Bible that he had left in the ;
house and from which the leaves bad been j
torn. The dying soldier had written on one
of the leaves nf < the Bible, "Rejected and
scoffed at, but finally believed in and saved.'* 1
The Bible may be used to light the pipe of
witticism by some, but for us it. is a staff in
life, a pillow in death and oar joy for eter
ritv.
Walk all up and down thia Bible domain!
Try every path. Plunge in at the prophe
cie s an J com? out at the eoistler. Go with
the patriarchs until you meet tb? evange
lists. Rummage and raosiclc, a* children
wiio are not sa'isfied when thiy come to a
new bouse unti. they know what is in every
room and into what every door op?ne. Open
every jewel casket. Examine the ckyIigJt?.
Forever b.? ssking questions. Put to a
higher use than was intends 1 the oriental
proverb; "Hold all the skirt; of thy mantle
extended when h?aven is raining fcoM."
Passing from Bmn to Cob!sntz on the
Rhine, the scenery is comparatively time.
But lrorn Coblen" z to May^nse iti<* enchant -
in?. You sit on -"'eck and fee' n? if this last
flash of beauty mu?t exhaust the ^ceae; bu":
in a moment th?re is a turn o the river,
which covers uptke former view with more
luxuriant vineyard?, an! mor.* defiant
castles, ani bolder bluffs, vine wr?ath?i.
and grapes so ripe that if the hilU be
touched they would blee.V their rich life
away into the bowls of Bingen and Hock
beimer. Here and there there are streams
of Jarater melting into the river, like smaller
joy* swallowed in the bosom of a great
gtedness.
And when night begins to throw its black
mantle over the shoulder of the hills, ani
you are approaching disembarkation at
ilayence, the lights along the shore fairly
bewitch the scene with their beauty, giving
one a thrill that he feels but onoe, yet that
lasts him forever So this river of GxT*
word is not a straight stream, but a winding
splendor? at every turn new wonders to at
tract, still riper vintage pressing to the brink
and crowded with cistles of strength ? Sto!z
eofels ani Johannisberger as notbinz com
pared with thffstrong tower into which the
righteous run and are savel? ani our disecn
larkation at last in the evening amid the
lights that gleam from tue shore of naaven.
The trouble is that to? vast majority of Bible
voyages stop tX Cobleotz, where the chief
g'<mesh*fluu_l
The sea ofGbd's Word is hot like Gen
nessaret, twelve miles by six. but bound
less, and in any one direction you can sail
on forever. Why then confine yourself to
a short TSiim or to a few ver3es of an
epistle? The largest fls'a are not near the
shore. Hoist all sail to the win Is of heaven.
Take bold of both oars ani pull away. Ba
like some of the whalers that went out from
y-&w Bedford or P^r:s nouth to !>e gone for
two or three yearr. Yea, calculate on a
lifetimevoyaga. You do not want to land
until youlanl in heaven'. Sail a war. O ya
mariner?, for eternity I Liurrih out /into
the deep!

it wise to stop and say, "I cannot pay for

T r0UQd teble of King Arthur and
his knights had room for oniy thirteen ban
queters, but the round table of God's supply
is large enough for all the present inhabit
ants of earth and heaven to sit at, and for
the still mightier populations that are yet to
be.
I>o not sail coastwise along your old habits
and old sins. Ke?p clear of the shore. Go
out where the water is deepest. Ob, for tbe
mid sea of God's mercy ! "Be it known unto
you, men and 1 rethren. that through this
Man is preached unto you forgivecesa of
sins." I preach it with as much confidence
to the eighty -year- old transgressor at to the
maiden. Though your sins were blood red
they shall be snow white. Tbe more ragged
the prodigal, the more companionate the
Father. Do you say that you are too bad*
The high water mark ot God's pardon is
higher than all your transgressions. "The
blood of Jesus Christ cleaneeth from all sin."
Do you say that your heart is basd* Sup
pose it were ten times harder. Do yon ssy
that your iniquity is long continued* Sup>
pose it were ten times longer. Do you say
that your crimes are black* 8uppoee that
they were ten time3 blacker. Is there any
lion that this S lmson cannot slay? Is there
any fortress that this Conqueror cannot
take* Is there any sin that this Redeemer
cannot pardon?
It is said that when Charlemagne's host
was overpowered by the three armies of tbe
Saracens in tbe pass of Roncervallee his
warrior, Ro'and, in terrible earnestness
seized a trumpet and blew it with such ter
rific stroigth that the opposing army reeled
back with terror, but at the third blast of
the trumpet it broke in two. I see your soul
fiercely assailed by all the powers of earth
and heiJ. I put the mightier truropet of the
Gospel to my lips and I blow it three times.
Blast the first? "Whoaoever will let him
come." Bla*t the second->'Saeic ye the
Lord while He may be/Whnd." Blast the
third? -"Now js tbe accepted time; now is
the day of salvation."
Does not tbe host of your rins fall back?
But.the trumpet does not, like that of Roland,
break in two. As it was handed down to us
from the lips of our father?, we hand it down
to the lips of our children, and tell them to
found it when we ar a dead that all the gen
erations of men may know that our God Is a
pardoning God? a sympathetic God? a lov
ing God? an i that more to Him than the
anthems ot heaven, more to Him than the
throtie on which He sita; more to Him than
are the temples of celestial worship is the joy

Dr. Prim*, in his took of wonderful inter

a tomb in India of marve om architecture.
Twenty thousand m?n?were twjnty-twj
years in erecting that an 1 tha building?
around it. Standing in that torn'*, if you
speak or sin?, after yoa have ceas?d yon

would cry unto G > 1 the echo would drop
