THE REAL THINGS.
Importance of Developing tho Spiritual
Being.

Importance of Developing tho Spiritual
| Being.
The day of chivalry and knight-er-
rantry is past. Even the sentimental.
isms of the eighteenth century are out
| Of date. The age we live in is intensely
| practical. Men and women do; they do
not dream of doing. Nor do they waste
! their strength in struggles after imag-
mary blessings. Each good they strive
| for must be brought to the test Of act
| ual live service to themselves or to
other people. Any good which can not
pass this test is deprecated, and its
seekers are Sentimental enthusiasts
But quite as earnest and emphatic is
the declaration Of another set of people:
Handsome clothes and abundant bread
and butter are as ashes in the mouth of
the man who longs osly for quietness
of spirit and time to think of higher
things"
It is hard to decide what are the best
things of life. It depends so entirely
upon from which stand the view is
taken. It seems at length to resolve
itself into a question as to which are
the real things, and that, of course,
each man must determine for himself
II he is confident that the only solid
satisfaction in life is better food and
clothing and higher social position for
himself and his family, he is clearly
justified in putting all his energies into
the work of getting them. He would
be but fool who would fight for mag
mary benefits
But the spiritual are the real things
to the man who lives in his mind, and
from that underground looks out at
the passing of this world with a curious
sense of its transientness and unreality.
What his body eats and wears is q
temporary need only, and so of slight
consequence. Why should he waste
his strength in gaining what is of small
Importance to him?
And here is another difference. The
first man may or may not get what he
works for. Earthly good is not always
found by those who diligently seek it.
The second man will gain his aim.
Spiritual good is always found by those
who seek it. And, sometimes, to the
spiritual good the other things are
added" Therefore, from a practical
standpoint, the second man seems to
possess an immense advantage. Only
who will believe that argument CROUCH
to make the periment?-Harper' Ba |
Ear.

duty to inform you that decision wa.
reached in our case on Wednesday,
IA decision at last! and what is it?'
"a deathblow to your hopes and te
mine, Mrs. Maynard. We have suffered
a total defeat!'
AS he spoke, in a cool, deliberate way,
Mrs. Maynard sank back in her chair AZ
if quite overcome by the announcement.
Quickly rallying, however, she ex.
claimed, in resolutely incredu1ous tones:
''Then we have lost our case? Oh,
Mr.. North, how can this have happened9
We were SO well fortified at every point,
even granting their claims concerning
the niece to be correct; SO you have re-
peatedly assured me yourself, Mr.. North
so Hopkins and Shepherd have reiter-
ated again and again."
A grim little smile crept upward from
the dropping ends Of North's mustache
and just illuminated for an instant the
sharp glance of his eyes. When he
spoke his tones seemed full Of knocking
sarcasm.
''Well fortified? So we did appear to
be. It was a strong case until the tear
ing and rending of our opponents be-
gan; then our really unsubstantial
fabric went to tatters in an instant"
''Mr. North, what do you mean?" de-
manded Mrs. Maynard, while her beau
tiful eyes grew darker still with alarm
and excitement. LET me know the
whole truth-the worst that there is to
tell! Speak plainly, il you pleased"
81 will do so, Mrs. Maynard, if you
insist, although the plain truth is not
always an agreeable thing to hear. In
brief, then, the will that was put for
ward in support of your claim to Mrs.
Dunkirk's fortune has been openly de.
clared, and furthermore proven to be, .
forgery"
"a forgery"
Mrs. Maynard repeated these words
mechanically, as if she were unconscious
of speaking aloud; then with sudden
vehemence she cried:
''Who says it is a forgery! Who
dares to say SO? How can they prove
it?''
North was watching her closely, re-
alizirg with how much significance her
words and manner at this crisis would
be weighed; yet he was unable to de-
ter,nine the precise effect produced upon
her by his announcement. That she
was startled and dismayed he could Of
course perceive at a glance; beyond this
he could not analyze her emotions
Holding himself steadily in hand and
continuing his watchfulness Of her. he
replied to her last excited words with
touch of reckless nonchalance in his
manner:
''Oh, the proofs are invincib1e, Mrs.
Maynard. I, myself, see clearly now
that it was very poor policy to risk that
business"
He spoke at random. knowing that
his first venture must be made more or
less daringly in the dark; but no sooner
were the words uttered than he congrat-
ulated himself that his random shot had
hit the mark.
Poor policyp' repeated Mrs. May.
nard, in perplexed tones, while she
raised her eyebrows inquiringly. 'sAnd

poor policy?"
