"Tonmorrow. This is my last free'

"There is nothing you can do. The

"She's proof," the lawyer whispered
in the officer's ear. "Let's see the
stick."
The sergeant considered this a very
interesting experience-quite a jolly
break in the dull monotony of the day.
Hiunting up the stick, he laid it in the
lawyer's hands, and then turned his
eye tipon the lady.
She had gone pale, but it took her
but an instant to r gain her equanimi
ty and hold out her own hand for the
weapon.
And so the three stood there, the
uen's faces ironic, inquisitive, won
(lering at the woman's phlegm if not
at her tuotiye; hers, hidden behind her
veil, but bent forward over the weapon
in an attitude of devouring interest.
ITIh is for a long, slow minute; then
she itmpulsively raised her head and,
beckoning the two men nearer, she
directe(I attention to a splintered por
tion of the handle and asked them
what they saw there.
"Nothing; just stick." declared the
sergeant. "The tnarks yot are look
ing for are higher up."
"And you, Mr. Blnk?"
lie saw nothing either but stick. Rut
he was little less abrupt in his answer.
"D)o you iean those roughnesses?"
he asked. "That's where the stick
was whittled. You remember that lie
had been whittling at the stick-'"
"Who?"
The word shot from her lips so vi
olently that for a moment both men
looked staggered by it. Then Mir.
Black, with unaccustomed forbear
auce. answered gently enough:
"Why, Scoville, inadam: or so the
prosecution congratulated itself upon
having proved to the jury's satisfac
tion. It did not tally w lth Scoville's
story or with common sense I know.

eye with a d3clsion and a sweetness
which bowed his spirit and caused his
head in turn to fall upon his breast.
"What a father can do for a child, I
will do for you." he murmured, and led
her back to her mother.
A week, and Deborah Scoville had
evolved a home out of chaos. That is,
within limits. She had not entered
the judge's rooms, nor even offered to
do so. Later, there must be a change.
So particular a man as the judge
would soon find himself too uncom
fortable to endure the lack of those
attentions which he had been used to
in Bela's day. He had not even asked
for clean sheets, and sometimes she
had found herself wondering, with a
strange shrinking of her heart, if his
bed was ever made, or whether he had
not been driveni at times to lie down in
Is clothles.
She had some reason for these
doubtful conclusions. In her ram
blings through the house she had come
upon01 Beia's room. It was in a loft
over the kitchen and she had been
much amazed at its condition. In
some respects it looked as decent as
she could expect, but in the matter- of
bed and bed clothes it presented an
aspect somewhat startling. The
clothes vwere there, tossed in a heap
on the floor, but there was no bed in
sighlt nor anything which could have
served as such.
It had been dragged out. E~vidences
of this were everywhere on the nar
row, twisted staircase. A smile, half
lpitiful, half self-scornful, curved her
lips as she remembered the rat-tat-tat

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 19
FALL AND CAPTIVITY OF ISRAEL.
LESSON TEXT-II Kings 17:7, 14, 18
(23).
GOLDEN TEXT-He that after being
reproved hardeneth his neck shall sud
denly bp destroyed.-Prov. 29:1.
In the sweep of our six years' cycle
of study we prefer to consider this les
son first and use the Christmas story
(Luke 2:1-20) to illustrate the love of
God which Israel (the last ten tribes)
so basely outraged ere It passed into
oblivion.
I. The Stiff-Necked People, vv. 6-13.
The fact (v. 6) of Israel's captivity
has always appealed to the interest
and the imaginations of men. The
cause of the captivity was threefold
(1) They "had sinned" (v, 7). It
was not a single offense but a course
of action which was performed (a)
openly, "walked" (v. 8). For 215 years
following. -Solomon's reign they had
been openly idolatrous and tresptissed
upon God's grace. (b) "Secretly" (v.
9), Hosea's leign was the same as
that of his 18 predecessors. Doubt.
less he was a good diplomat and poll.
tician, though his vacillation between
Egypt and Assyria brought ruin, but
in God's sight the secret acts and
practices of the people were open
and known (Ps. 139:1-12; Heb. 5:13).
Many today do in secret things "that
were -(are) not right." A clearer line
of demarcation between the church
and the world is sadly needed, (2)
They were consecrated to evil (vv.
10, 11). To cover our sins is not to
prosper (Prov, 28:13), but if we con
fess our sins God's Son will cover
them by the forgiveness of his atone
ment (Ps. 32:1-5; I John 1:9). Israel
cared not, however, for his forgive
ness, despite the fact it was he that
"brought them up out of the land of
Egypt." It is passing strange that
Israel should so fully violate the ex
press commands of God (Lev. -26:1;
Deut. 26:21; Ex. 20:3-5, etc.). Some
claim they did not possess the law,
it being of a later date, a self-evidont
ly foolish proposition, but even so,
how can men of our time violate so
many of the plain precepts of the
word of God? Does this prove that
the Bible does not exist? The an
swer to this query is a sufficient an
swer to the destructive critics. Israel
"sets up idols" (v. 10) and "burnt
sacrifice" (see Deut. 12:31) which
things they did "to provoke the Lord
to anger." (3) 'They abandoned them
selves to evil. As though to remove
all possibility of reformation they not
alone "served idols" (v. 12) but "they
sold themselves to do that which was
evil" (v. 17).
II. The Sovereign God, vv. 14-18.
God's character and wvili had been
fully set before the nation (Ex. 20:
3-6). Repeated warnings (v. 13) had
been given by faithful prophets, also
repeated for'givings, yet Israel is
(1) willful, they "wvould not hear" (y.
14), but deliberately followed in their
fathers' footsteps. (2) Proud and vain
(vv. 14, 15) and (3) utterly abandoned
(v. 17), and hence must receive the
judgment of God's righteous anger
(see Ex. 20), or else God is not right
eous. He repeatedly sought to turn
them aside, hut they slew his faithful
prophets (Matt. 21:33-39). God is
calling in mercy with long suffering
in this present evil age; unbelief in
God and his word is still prevalent;
skepticism and loose morals every.
where abound, and shall God go on
and call forever? (Proy. 29:1; I Pet.
3:9-10).
!!I. The SavIor of Men, Luke 2:1.20.
God's love for Israel was manifest
(made plain) through his loving acts
and the messages of warning pro
claimed by his prophets. But we have
a more marvelous revelation of his
love in the person of his Son wvhose
birthday we are about to observe.

ness as the "sons of God" (John 1:
12; II Tim. 4:8), but not so unless
we obey (.John 14: 23) his word.
Let us therefore take up the an

highest;" highest heavens, highest do
gree andl quality of praise of him who
is infinitely wise and loving.

lie loved sinful Israel and he loves
us so that he "gave lisa only begotten
Son that whosoever bolieveth need
not perish but have everlasting life."
Even as the shepherds "found'' the
Savior (v. 16) so may all men who
truly seek him (Heb. 11:6; Luke 19:
10).
What better can we do on Chist.
man Sunday than openly to give God
our best gift, our hearts' suipreme
love and devotion in 'return for his
greatest gift to men?

and that was all which seemed ins

Mr. Black said nothing; he was feel
iug a tril cheap-something whic
did not agree with his crusty nature
Not having seen Mrs. Scoville for i
half-hour without her veil, her inild
ence over him was on the wane, ant
ho began to regret that he had lair
himself open to this humiliation.
She saw that it would'bo left for hei
to wind up the interview and get ou
of the place without arousing toe
much much attention. With a self
possession which astonished both men
knowing her immense interest in thih
matter, she laid down the stick, and
with a gentle shrug of her shoulders
remarked in an easy tone:
"Well, it's curious! The ins and
outs of a crime, I mean. Sueh a dis.
covery ten years .after the event (1
think you said ten years) is very in,
teresting." Then she sighed: "Alas!
it's too late to benefit the one whose
life it might have saved. Mr. Black,
shall we be going? I have spent a
most entertaining quarter of an hour."
Mr. ((lack glanced from her to the
sergeant before he joined her., Then,
with one of his sour smiles directed to
wards the former, he said:
"I wouldn't be talking about this,
sergeant. It will do no good, and may
subject us to ridicule."
The sergeant, none too well pleased,
nodded slightly. Seeing which, she
spoke up:
"I don't know about that, I should
think it but proper reparation to the
dead to let it be known that his own
story of innocence has received this
late confirmation."
Blut the lawyer continued to shake
his head, with a very sharp look at the
sergeant If he could have his way
he would have this matter stop just
where it was.
* * * * * * *
"This is my daughter, Judge Os
trander: Reuther, this is the judge."
The introduction took place at the
outer gates whither the judge had
gone to receive them.
Re :ther threw aside her veil and
looked up into the face bent courte
ously towards her. It had no look of
Oliver. They were fine eyes notwith
stauding, piercing by nature, but just
now misty with a feeling that took
away all her fear. lie was going to
like her; she saw it in every trem'ling
line of his countenance, and at the
thought a smile rose to her lips.
With a courteous gesture he invited
them in, but stopping to lock one gate
before leading them through the oth
er, Mrs. Scoville had time to observe
that since her last visit with its ac
companying inroad of the populace,
the two openings which at this point
gave access to the walk between the
fences had been closed up with boards
so rude and dingy that-they must have
come from some old lumber pile in at
tic or cellar.
The judge detected her looking at
them.
"I have cut off my nightly prom
enade," said he. "With youth in the
house, more cheerful habits nmust pre
vail. Tomorrow I shall hav-e my lawvn
cut. and if I must walk after sundown
I will walk there."
The two wemen exchanged glances.
Perhaps their gloomy anticipations
werec not going to be realized.
Blut once withbin the hoeuse, the judge
showed embarrassment.
"I have few comforts to oifer," said
he, opening a door at his right and
then hastily closinig it again. "This
Part of the house is, as you see, com

Soldiers Want r'o Children.
I asked Zeni Peshkoff, socialist,
what his sensations were when he
went out to kill. "It didn't seem real,
it doesn't now. Before my last charge
the lieutenant and I were filled with
the beauty of the night. We sat. gaz
ing at the stars. Then the command
came and we rushed forward. It did
not seem possible I was killing hu
man beings." It Is the unreality that
sustains men. Germans are not hu
man beings--only the enemy. For the
wounded French soldier will tell you
he loathes war and longs for peace.
He fights or one object, permanent
peace. He fights to save his children
from fighting.
"Have you any children?" I asked
one soldier, "No, thank God," is the

THE VERY TIME
When Powerful Food Is Most Needed.
The need of delicate yet nutritious
food Is never felt so keenly as whien a
convalescent gets a set back on ao
count of weak stomach. Then ie when 4
Grape-Nuts shows its power for it is a
most scientific and easily digested
food.
"About a year ago," writes a Kansas
woman, "my little six-year-old niece
left the invigorating and buoyant air
of Kansas, where all her life she had
enjoyed fairly good health, to live in
Ohio. She naturally had a change of
diet and of course a change of water,
and somehow she contracted typhoid
fever.
"After a long siege her case seemed
hopeless, doctors gave her up, and she
was ~nothing but skin and bones,
couldn't eat anything and for weeks
'did not know even her father or moth
or. Her parents, in trying to get some
thing delicate and nourishing that she
could eat, finally hit upon Grape-Nuts
food and it turned out to be just the
thing.
"She seemed to relish it,- was soon.
conscious of her surroundings and be-' . .
gan to gain strength so rapidly that
in a short time she was as Well, play
ful and robust as if she had never
been ill.
"We all feel that Grape-Nuts was
the predominatJng factor in saving,$.
the sweet little girl's life."
