COM4PA~rg his long-neglected rooms. He had said on rising from the breakfast table (the words are more or less Impor tant): "I am really sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Scoville; but if you have time this morning, will you clean up my study before I leave? The carriage is ordered for half-past nine." The task wats one she had long de sired to perform. Giving Reuther the rest of the work to do, she presently appeared before him with pail and broom and a pile of fresh linen. Noth ing more commonplace could be imag ited, but to her, if not to him, there underlay this special act of ordinary houisewifery a possible enlightenment on a sibiect which had held the whole comitunity in a state of curiosity for years. She was going to enter the room which had been barred from pub lie sight by poor Bela's dying body. The great room before her pre sente(l a bare floor, whereas on her first visit it had been very decently, if not carfutilly, covered by a huge car pet rug. The judge's chair, which had once lookd immovable, had been dragged forward into such a position Iluat Ie could keep his own eye on tle bedroom door. Manifestly she was not to be allowed to pursue her duties un watched. Certainly she had to take more ihan one look at the every-day itoplementits she carried to retain that bialance of judgment which should pre vent her from becoming the dupe of lir own expeetations. "I do not expect you to clean up here as thoroughly as you have your own roomis ij)stairs," lie remarked, as she lmissed himit. "And, Mrs. Scoville," he called out as she slipped through the d(oorway, "leave the door open an( keep away as mitch as possible from the side of the room where I have nailed up the curtain. I had rather tnot have that touched." Not touch tile cuAain! Why, that was the one thing in the room she wan-tiled to touch; for In it she not only saw the carpet which had been taken upil from the floor, but a possible screen behind which anything might lurk---even his redoubtable secret. "There is no winldow," she observed, lo.(ing back at the judge. "No," was his short ilply. Slowly she set down her pall. One thintg was settled. It was Hela's cot she saw before her-a cot without any sheets. These had been left behind inl tie dead negro's room, and the judge had been sleeping just as she had feared, wrappel imn a rug and with uInllcove rod pillow. This pillow was his own; it had tnot been brought down with the b~ed.

(Conscious that the papers he made a feinit of r'eadintg' wer'e bitt a cover for htis watcihfitlness, she moved about in a tmatt er-of'-fact way and (lid not sparc huitm the clouds of du(st which presently rose before her brtoomt.

In' recalling this startling moment Deborah wondered as much at her own aplomb as' at that of Judge Ostran der. Not only had she succeeded in suppressing all recognition of what had thus been discovered to her, but had carried her powers of self-repres sion so far as to offer, and with good grace, too, to assist him in rehanging the picture. This perfection of act ing had its full reward. With equal composure he excused her from the task, and, adding some expression of regret at his well-known carelessness in not looking better after his effects, bowed her from the room with only a slight increase of his usuat zourteous reserve. But later, when thought came and with it certain recollections, what sig niticance the incident acquired in her mind, and what a long line of terrors it brought in its train! It was no casual act, this defacing of a son's well-loved features. It had a meaning-a dark and desperate meaning. It had played its heavy part in his long torment-1-a galling remind er of-what? It was to answer this question-to face this new view.of Oliver and the bearing it had on the relations she had hoped to establieh between him and Reuther, that she had waited for the house to be silent and her child asleep. Unhappy mother, just as she saw something like a prospect of releasing her long-dead husband from the odium of an unjust sentence, to be shaken by this new doubt as to the story and character of the man for whose union with her beloved child she was so anxiously struggling! There was a room on this upper floor into which neither she nor Reu ther had even stepped. She had once looked in, but that was all. To night-because she could not sleep; because she must not think-she was resolved to enter it. Oliver's room! -UR I. it Was a Highly Finished Portrait of Oliver in His Youth. ieft as he had left it years before! WVhat might it not tell of a past con cerninig which she longed to be rea suredI? 'The father had laid no restrictions upon01 her, in giving hier this floor for her use. Rights wvhich he ignored she could afford to appropiate. Dressing sufficiently for warmth, she lit a candle, put out the light in her owil room and started down the hall tc this long-closed room. A smother of dust-anl odor of de cay-a lack of all order in the room's arrangements and furnishings-ever a general disarray, hallowed, if nol affected, by time-for all this she wvaz prepared. But not for the wild confu sion-the inconceivable litter and al the other signs she saw about her oi a boy's mad packing and reckless de partuire. There was an inner door, and thiz sonmc impulse drove her to open. A small closet stood revealed, empt) but for one article. When .she say~ this article she gave a great gasp; then ehe utter'ed a low pahaw! an< with a shrug of the shoulders dreu back and flung to the door. But sht op~enedl it again. She had to.

The fact was not worth a thought; yet before she knew it her fingers were creeping towards this knife, had picked it up from among the other scattered articles, had closed upon it, let it drop again, - only to seize hold of it yet more determinedly and carry it straight to the light. The knife was lying open on her palm, and from one of the blades C.he end had been nipped, just enough of it to Mtatch Was she mad! She thought so for a moment; then she laid down the knife close against the cap and con templated them both for more minutes than she ever reckoned. The candle fluttering low in its socket roused her at last frbm her ab straction. Catching up the two ar ticles which had so enthralled her, she restored the one to the closet, the other to the drawer, and, with swift but silent step, regained her own room, where she buried her head in her pillow, weeping and praying until the morniftg light, breaking in upon her grief, awoke her to the obligations of her position and the necessity of silence concerning all the experiencer of this night. CHAPTER IX. Unwelcome Truths. Silence. Yes, silence was the one and only refuge remaining to Deborah. Yet, after a few days, the constant self-restraint which it entailed ate like a canker into her peace and un dermined a strength which she had always considered inexhaustible. Reu ther began to notice her pallor, and the judge to look grave. She was forced to complain of a cold (and in this she was truthful enough) to ac count for her alternations of feverish impulse and deadly lassitude. Tho trouble she had suppressed was hav ing its quiet revenge. Wes there no medium course? Could she not learn where Oliver had been on the night of that old-time murder? Miss Weeks was a near neighbor and saw everything. Miss Weeks neve forgot; to Miss Weeks she would go, She had passed the first gate and was on the point of opening the see' ond one, when she saw on the walix before her a small slip of brown pa per. Lifting it, she perceived upon it an almost illegible scrawl aWhich she made out to read thus: For Mrs. Scoville: 1)o not go wnndering all over the town for clties. Look closer to home. And below: Voti remember the old saying about itiping fromn i. frying pats into the lire. Let yoti- daMughwte' ihe wa rne'd. It is bet ter to I sir gerl than consuimed. Because Deborah's minnd was quick it all flashed upon her, bowing her in spirit to the ground. Reuther had bewn singed by the knowledge of her father's ignominy, she would be con sumedi if inquiry were carried further and this ignominy transferred to the proper culprit. Oliver alone could be meant. The doubts she had tied to suppress from her own mind wvere shared by others-others! In five minutes she was crossing the road, her face complosed, her manner genial, her tongue ready for any en counter. The truth must be hers at all hazards. If it could be found here, then here would she seek it. Her long struggle with fate had brought to the fore every latent power she possessed. Miss Weeks was ready wvith her greeting. A dog from the big house across the way wvould have been wel comed there. The eager little seam stress had never forgotte.n her bout in the library with the half-uncon scious judge. "Mirs. Scoville!" she exclaimed, flut tering and, leading the way into the best room; "how very kind you are to give me this chance for making my apologies. ' You know we have met l'ef ore." "Have wve?" Mrs. Scoville did n' remember, but she emiled her sea smile. "I am glad to have you ac. knowledge an old acquaintance. It makes me feel less lonely 1n my newi life." "Mrs. Scovillo, I am only too hap. py." It was bravely said, for the little woman wvas in a state of marked em barrassmnent. Could it be that the visa itor had not recognized her as the person who had accosted her on thai memorable morning she first entered Judge Ostrander's forbidden gates? (TO BE~ CONTINUE~D.)

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 26 JEHOVAH'S GRACIOUS PROMISES TO ISRAEL (REVIEW). LESSON TEXT-Hosea 14. 'GOLDEN TEXT-Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kildness.-Psa. 103:8 R. V. The burden of punishment descend ed upon Israel, not because of the vindictive character of Jehovah, but because of the persistent pursuit of sin on the part of the nation. The lessons of the past quarter ex tend from the latter days of Elijah, about 906 B. C., to the fall and cap tivity of Israel (the northern king dom) B. C. 722 (Beecher), a period of 180 years. Some contend that the les son for November 14, Daniel at the King's Court, is chronologically the last and ought to have been put at the end of the series. During the past quarter we have studied about six kings, Ahab, Joash, Nebuchadnezza'r, the king of Nineveh, Uzziah and Ho shea; also six prophets, Elijah, Eli sha, Daniel, Jonah, Amos and Hosea; and one soldier, Naaman. A good method of review would be to have assigned to different scholars or classes each of the foregoing per sonages and to give a report of his chief characteristics. Material for such a review is easily accessible. An other method of review would be to take up tne lessons serially and in connection with each read some ap propriate Scripture verses that will serve to emphasize or to i~lustrate the chief fact of each lesson. Lesson I. The weak King Ahaz (strong in his perversity) is .easily persuaded to do evil in order to grati-s fy hip covetousness. Elijah at God's command goes to meet Ahab who cries out, "Hast thou found me, 0 my enemy?" In reply Elijah delivers God's word; that word to us is found in Ex. 2C:17. (Let each Scripture ref erence be read in full.) Lesson 11. The veteran champion Elijah is about to go h6me and his more youthful follower, Elisha, has one chief desire (see II Kings 2:9), which persistently followed is abund antly rewarded. The lesson for us is found in the master's prayer, John 14:16. Lesson ill. The stricken soldier, Naaman, at a child's suggestion, ap peals to God's prophet, Elisha, for healing. He is directed how lie may be cured and after some hesitation returns home cleansed. The lesson for us Is that of being faithful amid life's experiences and of doing and living for others (see also Romans 12:20, 21.) Lesson IV. The servant of Elisha is very much excjited. King and camp are in dlespair, yet the prophet is not disturbed. Why? Let us read HI Kings 6: 17. Rlemember that Jesus, the master of men, refused to avail himself of like angelic assistance in his great battle concerning sin (See Matt. 26:53). Ch'istanity is a religion of love, not of force. Lesson V. The faithful priest pre serves the rightful king. Joash, and makes a co nant between him and the Lord, viz., that prince, priest and people "should be the Lord's people" (II Kings 11:17). Through the mer' its of our high priest there has been made p better, even an everlasting covenant (Heb. 13:20, 21). Lesson VI. Again refers to the good king, Joash. The neglected temple is restored and refurnished through the liberality of the people. This temple is a type of our bodies, which are spiritual temples (Eph. 2:22), and the lesson for us is not only the care of the body, but of liberality towards the work and worship of God's house, Lesson VII. This is the lesson which is chronologically out of order, but is used for its temperance appl~ica tion. DanIel, the clean youth, staked his life and position upon obeying the word of God (Dan.,1:8W 'i t'e lesson for us is the exhortation 'of the apes tlQ Paul (Eph. 5:13-17, see also I Pet. 6: B). Lesson VIII is the foreign mission ary lesson. Jonah's life story is not a flattering one, yet when he faithful ly proclaimed God's word it wrouglat a marvelous transformation in great and wicked Nineveh. (Rlea~d carefully Matt. 16:10 and Isa. 755:10, 11), We are to heralu, witness to the truth and leave the results with God. Lesson IX presents Amos, the stur dy prophet of civic and moral right eousness, the great messenger of the "rightness'.' of things (Amos 6:14). The gist of this lesson f'or us will be found in the words of Jesus (Matt. 6:33). Lesson X. Uzziah is that king who could not withstand prosperity and who, in the development of his pride (IH Chron. 26:5, 16), atisumed to dis obey the word of God, Lesson XI. Enter H-osea. Let the entire school stats the, message of the prophet to the people of Israel, "I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely" (H~osea 14:4). Then let all recite the "little gospel" (John 3:16) "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should iot perish, but have everlast ing life," Balked wffhe Uadl 9rop a NIck6C Ihe Slot. - A .correspondent of the Cieve1 Plain Dealer tells this story: "I ws callied to the telophone, and a pay station operator asked, 'Is this Garfield 0064?' and since that is in deed my number, I said' yes.' So she called to the party on the other end of the line, 'Drop a iiokel, please. "'Vot?' came a male voice. 'Drop a nickel, please.' 'Vot?' "'Drop five cents, please,' said tht operator, translating. And still the caller can't get it though his head that he must part with a jitney be fore he can talC. Then I took a hand -or a voice-in the conversatiot. "'What's the matter with you?' I shrieked. 'Drop five cents in the slot, and then you will be allowed to talk to this number. "There was a long pause, and then this reply: "'O-o-oh! Vell,neffer mind. I gets me anodder number!'" "Probably," concludes our inform ant, "he kept calling till lie got a :heaper one." AT THE FIRST SIGNS Of Falling Hair Get Cuticura. 11 Works Wonders. Trial Free.
