Louise was silent. She was thank-
ful—thankful. God had been very-
good to her. It had been given to her
to do this tiling. She had not meant
to do it—she had not konwn what she
did; enough that was done.
"It was Louise," spoke up Mary,
"and I—tried to hold her back!" So
she accused herself.

Louise, with shining eyes. "I—I-”

looking at her with tender Intentness.
"I guess 1 was trying to come after
you," she confessed. "It was very—
foolish."
The rear grounds were rapidly fill-
ing up. Like children following a
band-wagon, the crowd surged toward
the new excitement of the discovered
extension of the fire. Gordon drew a
j long breath.
"1 thank God for your—foolishness.”
"You are an old duffer. Paul," he
said, in pretended annoyance. "You
treat me like a child. I won't stand
it always. You'll see. Some day I'll
rebel—and—then—"
"Meanwhile. I'll Just trot these

to know? This Isn't Utah, Paul. You

Paul meant for him to lie low, then.
He was also In a hurry to get the girls
away. Evidently the danger lay here.
There was a tightening of the firm
mouth and an ominous contraction of
the pupils of the eyes. Ho stirred the
fire, then jammed a huge, knotted
stick Into the sheet-iron stove. It

"Louise! What are you going to
do?" cried Mary, In consternation.
There were few people on this side.
Louise put her hand deliberately to
the door-knob. It gave to her pres-
sure—tlie door swung open. Some
one stumbled out blindly and leaned
against the wall for a moment, his
bands over his eyes.
"I can’t do it," he said, aloud, "I
can t reach tlie vaults.
Louise slipped last him and was
within the doorway, closely followed
by the frantic Mary.
The man cried out sharply, and
stretched out a detaining hand. "Are
you crazy? Come back!"
“Mr. Gordon!" cried Iconise, with a
little sob of relief, "Is it really you?
Let me go—quick—my note books!”
A thick cloud of smoke at that mo-
ment came rolling down tho back
stairs. It enveloped them. It went
down their throuts and made them
cough. The man. throwing nn arm
over the shoulders of the slender girl
who hnd started up after the first
shock of the smoke had passed away,
pushed her gently but firmly outside.
"Don't let her come. Mary,” he
called hark, clearly. “I'll get the
note books—If I can.” Then he was
gone—up the smoke-wreathed stair-
way.
Outside, the girls waited. It
seemed hours. The wind, howling
around the corners, whipped their
skirts. There was a colder edge to It.
Fire at last broke out of the back
windows simultaneously with the
sound of breaking glass, and huge
billows of released black smoke
surged out from the new outlet.
Louise started forward. She never
knew afterward Just what she meant
to do, but she sprang away from
Mary’s encircling arm and ran up the
little flight of steps leading to the
door from which she hnd been fo un-

CHAPTER XVIII.
An Unconventional Tea Party.
As the tlanres broke through the
roof, Langford came rushing up where
the group stood a little apart from the
press.
"Dick! I have been looking for you
everywhere,” he cried, hoarsely.
"What's the trouble, old man?"
asked Gordon, quietly.
"I hare something to tell you.” said
Langford, In a low voice. "Come
quick—let's go back to your rooms.
Why, girls-"
"We will go, too," said Mary, with
quiet decision. She had caught a
glimpse of Ked Sanderson's face
through the crowd, and she thought he

"You will find my bachelor way of

his engaging smile. He arranged the
robes over two of the chairs and
pushed them close up to the stove.

"Thank you—you are very kind,”
said Louise. "No. 1 won't take off my
jacket,” a spot of color staining her
cheek when she thought of her gay
kimono. Involuntarily, she felt of her
throat to make sure the muffler had
not blown awry. "We shall be going
soon, shan't we, Mr. Langford? If
Mr. Gordon is In any danger, you must
stay with him and let us go alone. It
is not far."
"Surely,” said Mary, with a blgfflnk-
lng of the heart, but meaning what
sbe said.
“Not at all,” said Gordon, decidedly.
"It's Just his womanish way of boss-
ing me. I'll rebel some day. Just
wait! But before you go. I'll make
tea. You must have gotten chilled

He would keep them here a while
and then let them go—with Langford.

cowardly and sneaking. Far rather

chances. Hut if there was to be auy

This story of Jonah, Indorsed
and confirmed by Christ him-
self, needs no further Indorse-
ment of scholar or critic to make
it authentic to the minda of the
devout and earnest students of
God's word. The easiest and
most reasonabls way out of all
the difficulties of the book is
just to take It for what It saya.
It teachec many profound les-
sons, firat of all, perhaps, being
that of the wideness of God's
plsns and the narrowness of
the conception of God'i serv-
ants.
While God was concsmsd
with all the world, and hia heart
had gone out in mercy and love
to that great city of Nineveh,
hit servant, Jonah, had to lo-
calized himaelf and to limited
the mercy and blessing of God
to the one nation of Israel that
he could not for a moment con- •!;
ceive of the possibility of its be- &
ing right or just to give Nine- !;!
veh a chance.
Preach to Nineveh! Prepos-
terous! And God's prophet
was in a rage and sought to
escape the discharge of the
commission laid upon him.
There are a great many run-
away disciples of God, It Is to be
feared; disciples whose narrow
conception of God's work tempts ;!;
them to avoid the service which
would take them far from home
and to a people and nation not
their own.
Jonah needed a larger vlalon
of God's purposes and plans, and
to do we. The prayer: “Lord
bless me, and my wife, bleaa my
son John, and his wife, us four,
and no more,” must give place
to the prayer which takes in all
the world in that true spirit !;!
which makes one willing to go !;!
and follow up the prayer, In a •!;
life of service. !•!
“Woe is unto me,” cries Paul, !;!
"if I preach not the Gospel,"
plunged Into tho army life and per-
haps become one of the great leaders
of the army of Israel.
As It was, however. In his office as
prophet to the nation he was destined
to play an Important part, and he
threw himself Into the work of reviv-
ing the national spirit and unifying
the forces of Israel. Back and forth
through the length and breadth of the
land he went preaching his message
and arousing the people.
It was from one of these trips he
had Just returned to Samaria, and
found the king had caught the spirit
of the movement and was wait-
ing to receive him and ask his
counsel concerning the coming cam-
paign. Jonah gave a careful report
as to the conditions all through the
| land, of the enthusiasm of the peo-
•I; pie and of the rallying of the fighting
!;i | men, so that every tribe and every
section of the land had its body of
soldiers to throw Into the main army
when the king should be ready to be-
gin an aggressive military campaign.
It seemed to Jonah as he departed
from the palace after the long confer-
ence that the prospect could not be
brighter, nor the plans more perfectly
laid, and when he reached his own
humble dwelling he threw himself
down upon his couch, not to sleep,
but to dream of the glorious future
which was opening up before the na-
tion.
But the active brain and bounding
heart must needs yield at last to the
fatigue of the body, and the prophet
slept. How long he lay thus he knew
not, but as he slept a vision came to
him of a great city and the voice of
one standing and pointing towards the
city sounded In his ear and he awoke.
All was still and the vision was
gone, but as he lay In the darkness
and listened for the voice he had
heard In his dreams, and which
seemed so real that he could scarcely
believe that he had been asleep, ho
heard it again, saving:
"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great
city, and cry against It: for their
wickedness Is come up before me.”
With a startled cry, Jonah leaped
from his couch and stood trembling
by the open door.
Go and preach to Nineveh! Nine-
veh, the great, a hostile nation, whom
Israel had reason to fear. Preach to
Nineveh, to strengthen that city
against his own, when he had just
been going up and down through the
land proclaiming the word of the
Lord and calling on Israel to war
against the nations round about and
recover the territory lost years be-
fore? It fairly took his breath away,
and as he strove to control the revul-
sion of feeling which rushed over
him he drove his finger nails Into the
palms of his hands, so tightly did ho
clasp them.
Go to Nineveh! He could not!

THE STORY.
nr HE prophecy which the prophet
1 Jonah had spoken concerning the
political revival of Israel and the re-
covery of the coast line which years
before had been lost to the hostile na-
tions round about had proved a pop-
ular message, as was to be expected,
and everywhere the prophet went he
was enthusiastically received. His
words Inspired the people with the
one purpose of bringing about that
which the prophet had said should
come to pass.

early part of his reign was Inclined

which his father had won, and w-ho

questions which rose in his mind and

It was still dark and the streets of
I the city were quiet and deserted. As
he rushed onward and neared the city
gate, he suddenly realized that It
would be closed and the watchman
set. Instinctively he felt he must not
be seen of any In his flight, and when
he was wondering how ho could es-
cape from the city without being seen
he recalled a little gate In the wall
near his own home, and thither he
turned his footsteps. Once outside
tho city, the troubled thought oc-
curred to him as to which way ho
should flee. With the command of
God ringing in his ears he could not
stay in his own land: to Nineveh he
was quite determined not to go.
Whither should he go?
"At least I will get as far from Nin-
eveh as possible," he exclaimed, and
altering Ms course he turned off
towards the seacoast. and the next
day, footsore and weary, he reached
Joppa. And now whither, he asked
himself, as he wandered through tho
streets of the city. As though by way
of answer, hl3 footsteps aimlessly led
One of Bill Nye's.
Referring to a real estate transac-
tion made by one Peter Minuit, way
back in the year 1628, Bill Nye, in his
history of the I'nlted States, declared:
"New York was afterwards sold for
$24: the whole island. When 1 think
of this I go into my family gallery,
which 1 also use as a swear room, and
tell those ancestors what I think of
them. Where were they when New
York sold for $24?'*
The humor of this strikes deeply
when one stops to consider what has
been the outcome of this original in-
vestment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets
and a few bottles cf rum, so delighted
the native Indians that they gladly
turned over to him the whole of Man-
hattan island, now the heart of

The Perennial.
According to the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, a Georgia farmer posted this
sign on his front gate:
"Candidates will pass on. No time
to talk to 'em.”
One morning his little boy shouted
from the garden walk:
"There's one o' them canderdates
here, an' he says he'll come in any-
how ! ”
The old man looked toward the
gate and said:
"Let him in. There's no harm In
him. I know him. He's been runnln’

nin'. It runs In his blood an' he can't
