CHAPTER 1I.-COntinued

Among Beth's many pccnliarltles
was wild and almost ungovcrnable
love Of roses and. strange to say. not rs
with most girls as much for their queen
~ beauty rs for their glorious wealth of
petals, but solely for their richness Of
color, their decorative value. their
power OF acccntuating the beauty Of

Yet she was ever crying for ro-c,. and
/ never growing weary OF showcring
them upon her. 70 me it was an act
of alteration. and never did IL full-blown
JacqucminOt seem more grandly beau

bosom. Her own beauty wa, SO potent
that it dimmed the radiance Of any
other flower.
One morning | had sent her Il basket
of exceptionally beautiful .1acqucni-
nOts. 1t would have seemed Il sacrilegc
for anyone else save Beth to ask that a
box of chocolates should be hidden be-
meath each Offering of roses. but com
Ing from Beth it in no wise offended
me. She was so unlike amy other girl.
| had followed after the Offering of
roses more closely than usual on this
particular afternoon. The servant in
formed me that Miss Brewic was in the
drawing-room, but upo, pushing the
door open she was nowhere to be seen.
At that instant IL faint sound. half sigh.

against her face. so that it wa, half
buried in them. She wa, uncOn CT, us.
With II suppressed cry of horror, |

flowers out Of her hands. and passing

We would grUmh!c less.
WHO kills the man when he wor-
ries himself to death:
EVERY man who does right is help
ing some boy to be good.
1T doesn't take very much money
to make Il good man rich.
1t is the man who is willing to die
daily who will always live.
LOVE needs no law Being loyal
IN heart it Is loyal in hand
WE would all do more lifting up il
we would do more looking up
ONE secret Of living long is to learn
how to live one day at Il time.
To WANT to be good is the surcst
prophecy that we shall be good.
1r is hard TO remember the good
qualities of those who forget us
LOVE is the only thing man needs
that he can not get for himself.
TIE dayS are never long enough
for the man who loves his work.
SOME religion is pretty sure to give
us an appetite for more religion.
Con has never yet made man
As Lone as he knows there is i
God why should Il good man worry?
No MAN has religion enough who
does not rejoice in the Lord always.
THERE can bc no pardon for The
man who will not forSakc all his S.nS.
TuE happiest Christians are the
| ones who work the most at the trade.
TnE man whom God fills has no
| trouble about Keeping the world out.
THERE is now and then man who
! is afraid the dcvi! is being slandercd.
| BREAD from Gods table is only for
those who are willing To fight and
work.
THE surcst way Of getting more
! from God is to enjoy what YOU already
nave.
THERE is nothing like unselishness
for getting sinners to believe in
! Christ.
THERE is nothing more beautiful in
Heaven than the life OF Christ lived
on earth.
| WE never find out how bright the
| light is until we have been for awhile
| in the dark.
| TIE man who has God never has
to be loaded down with gold TO make
him happy.
| THE man who is satisfied with him
self is always being disappointed with
other people.
4, THE more sounding brasses there
| are i'm 4 church the less good It does
to ring the bell.
lr requires the constant and con-
| tinuOus work of God to make a saint

NEARING The End or THE RACE
The Great six-Days' Bicycle Contest WIZ
End To-night-How They Stand.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-There were
eleven tired contestants engaged this
morning in the weary task of making
laps around the track IN Madison Square
Garden In the six-day bicycle race The
race will end tomorrow night. and no one
will be better pleased when the contest is
finished than the men who are racing for
fame and money.
With the approach Of the end Of the
race the men still contesting seem to
have shaken off that tired feeling that
characterized their riding on Wednesday
and Thursday, and this morning they
raced around the track as II they had
only been at 1t for the few hours instead
Of several days and nights.
At 800 o'clock Schock passed his 400
mile. and Superintendent Sherwood, of
the Garden. presented him with a hand
some floral horseshoe At $40 Shock
beat his record of ,405 miles. which ne
has held for the past five years.
a two-mile scratch race between Price,
NewhoCse and Betner was won by New
house. In one OF the trial heats for this
race between Newhouse and Betner, New
house broke the worlds indoor record OF
making two miles in 5:i0.
There was more excitement I'm the Madi-
son Square Garden at $50 o'clock tonight
breaking six-day bicycle race, which COM
menced last Monday, started. 1t was at
this moment that Schock. who Is leading
all competitors. broke the worlds record
of 1876 miles and five laps. made in Oc-
tOber, 1892, in 142 hours. This remarkable
feat was accomplished in nearly twenty
five and a half hours less time than it
took 10 make the record. which was held
by Martin, who is third I'm the present
contest. There was a very interesting
three-mile race between A. Newhouse. =
j. Berlo, and f. j. Bettner, who finished
in the order named. Time s:53 2-5.
Richard Howell attempted TO beat the
ten-nilc record of twenty-eight minutes
and thirty seconds. He did it easily. ac-
cOnplishing the feat in 40.
At hvs minutes after II o'clock Waller
left the track. assisted by his trainer.
He seemed TO be very sick and weak. 1t
looked doubtful Il he would be able 10
hold second place in the race.
At l. O'Clock the score stood as follows:
Schock, Ina, Waller, 49, Martin, 1859;
Albert. 1.2S9, Van Emberg. 1,2O7; Meixell,
