was intently watching the horses feet,
as the fog limited her range of vision,
and she would not look at Philip.
Margie, ! /"
There was a sudden dash and whir],
which jerked the reins from Philips
hands and almost threw him from his
seat. The horses, which, for the mo-
ment, were loosely held, had come sud-
denly upon bit of glare ice, and in a
fright had completely whirled the cutter
out of the road. Philips strong grasp
upon the reins soon reduced the fright
ened horses to a steadier gait, and he
turned them back toward the road; but
no road appeared. A little vexed at his
own carelessness, Philip drove rapidly
back and forth, turning about rather
heedlessly and becoming more and more
perplexed at the non-appearance of the
road. Margie watched anxiously, but
said nothing. Finally Philip reined up
his horses.
"Well," he said.
"Well," echoed Margie, with little
futter of laugh that died out suddenly
as she looked up and saw Philips brows
contracted in heavy frown, and an anx-
ious expression in his eyes.

we shall come upon the track by and BY"
Philip spoke easily, as if the home d.
rection must be known by intuition. In
point of fact, he had not the remotest
idea which way to turn, and there was
neither shore nor star to guide him; but
he had seen the sudden fear that had
come into Margie's face, and resolved to
keep his ignorance to himself. "About

A Connecticut inventor has devised a

one end, throwing its light by a reflector
into p tube n foot and half in diameter,
which runs alongside of the ventilating
deck, At intervals the tube is tapped
for light, a system of refectors distribute
ing the light through the interior of the
car. An attachment is provided which
extinguishes the light the instant the
lamp Is oil its balance, so that in the
event of an accident no fear of fire need
be apprehended. The tube conducts the
light so admirably that fine print can be
read at a distance of forty feet from the
lamp.

Come and SIc,''

Wiser counsel than this il would be
impossible to conceive! If Philip had
reproyed Nathaniel's unbelief, he might
have driven him back for many a day,
aud given oiitnse. IF he had reasoned
with him, he might have failed to con.
vince him, or might have confirmed him
in.his doubts. But, by inviting him to
prove the matter for himself, he showed
his entire confidence in the truth of his
own assertion, and his willingness to
have il tested and proved. And the re-
suit shows the wisdom of Philips words.
Nathaniel owed his early acquaintance
with Christ to that frank invitation,
" Come and Bee."
If we call ourselves true Christians,
let US never be afraid to deal with people
about their souls as Philip dealt with
Nathaniel. Let us invite them boldly
to make proof OF our religion. Let us
tell them confidently that they cannot
know its real value until they have tried
it. Let us assure them hat vital Chris
tianity courts every possible inquiry. 1t

way to do good, Few arc ever moved
