CHAPTER vi.
THE TRAVELLER AND THE TEMPLE OF KNOwL-


EDGE.
Countless ages ago a Traveller, much
worn with journeying climbed the last
bit of rough road which led to the summit
of high mountain There was temple
on that mountain, and the Traveller had
vowed that he would reach it before death
prevented him. He knew the journey
was long and the road rough. He knew
that the mountain was the most difficult
of ascent of that mountain chain called
The Ideals. But he had II strongly hoping
heart and "a sure foot. He lost all sense of
time but he never lost the feeling of hope.
Even if l faint by the waysidc," he
said to himself, "and am not able to reach
the summit still it is something to be on
the road which leads to the High Ideals"
That was how he comforted himself
when he was weary. He never lost more
hope than that, and surely that was little
enough.
And now he had reached the temple.
He rang the bell, and an old white haired
man opened the gate. He smiled sadly
when he saw the Traveller
"And yet another one, he murmured.
"What does l. all mean'?'
The Traveller did not hear what he mur-
INJURED.
''Old white haired man." he said, tell
me, and so ave come at last to the won
derful Temple of knowledge / have been
journeying hicher all my life. All, but it
is hard work climbing up to The Ideals. {"
The old m"n touched the Traveller on
the arm. "Lisren," he said gently. "This
is not the Ten pie of knowledge. And The
Ideals are no. chain of mountains. They
are a stretch plains, and the Temple of

come the wrong road. Alas, poor Travel
er!'
The light in the Travellers eyes had fad
ed. The hope in his heart died. And he
became old ai.d withered. He leaned heav
lily OH his staff.
''Can one rest hercs" he asked wearily.
"No"

"No"
"What are these mountains calledi"
"They have ma name
"And the temple-how do you call the

"Then call it the Temple of Broken
Hearts, said the Traveller
And he turned and went. But the old
white haired man followed him.
Brother" he said, ''you are not the
first to come here, but you may be the last

CONCERNING wARLI AND MARIE.

CONCERNING wARLI AND MARIE.
Warli, the little hunchback postman, a
CHEEKY soul, came whistling up the kur-
haus stairs, carrying with him that pre-
cious parcel of registered letters which
gave him t. position of being the most
important person in Petrrshof. He was a
linguist, too, was Warli, and could speak
broken English in most fascinating way,
agreeable to every one, but Ineligible
only to him f. Well, he came whistling
up the stair hen he heard Marie blithe
voice hmnming her favorite spinning song
Ell, ei!' he said to himself. marie is
in good temper today. will give her a
call as pass"
He arranged his neckerchief and smooth
ed his curls, and when he reached the end
of the landing he paused outside little
glass door, and, all unobserved, watched
Marie in her pantry cleaning the candle
sticks and IL rps.
Marie head knock, and looking up
from her wol.i saw Warli.
Good day, Warli," she said, glancing
hurriedly at tiny broken mirror suspend
ed on the wall Il suppose you have a lot
ter for me- How delightful
Never mind about the letter just now, -
he said, waving his hand as though wish
hear you singing SO sweetly, Marie! Dear
me, in the old days at Grusch, how often /
have heard that song of the spinning
wheels! You have forgotten the old days,
Marie, thoug' you remember the song"
"Give me n4y letter, Warli and go about
your work, +" said Marie, pretending to be
impatient But all the same her eyes look
ed extremely friendly. There was some
thing very winning about the hunchback' IS
face.
"Ah, ah, Marie!" he said, shaking his
| curly head. II know how it is with you.
You only like people in fine binding
/ They have not always fine hearts"
What nonsense you talk Warli!" said
Marie. There, just hand me the oil can.
You can fill this lamp for me. Not too
| full, you goose! And this one also-ah,
you're letting the oil trickle down! Why,
you're not tit for anything except carrying
letters! Here give me my letter.
! What pretty fowersp' said Warli.
Now, if there is one thing do like, it is
flower. Can you spare me one, Marie!
Put one in my buttonhole, do!'
You are nuisance this afternoon, -
said Marie, smiling and pinning flower
on Warli's blue coat. just then bell
rang violently.
! "Those Portuguese ladies will drive me
quite mad" said Marie. "They always
ring just when am enjoying myself"
"When you are enjoying YOURSELF" said
Warli triumphantly.
"Of coarse, returned Marie. "Ialways
do enjoy cleaning the oil lamps; always
did!"
"Ah, I'd forgotten the oil lamps!" said
Warli
"And SO had l." laughed Marie. "Na,
ma, there goes that bell again! Won't they
be angry! Won't they scold at me! Here
Warli, give me my letter, and Ill be off. u

time"
Won't you waste few more minutes

Warli came down again, looking very
happy.
II want to show you such beautiful
photograph I've had taken,' said Marie
ZACH, 1t Is bcautifull''
You must give one to me, said Warli
eagerly.
''Oh, 1 can't do that" replied Marie as
she opened the drawer and took out small
packet. ''It was u present to mo from the
Polish gentleman himself. He saw me the
other day lcrc in the pantry. Twas So tired,
and had fallen asleep, with my broom,
just as you see me here. So he made q

igent scholar, and now she took her place
a. an able teacher. She was self reliant
and perhaps somewhat conoeited. But At
least Bernsrdine the young woman had
learned something which Bernardine the
young child had not been able TO learn
abe learned how to smile. It took her about
six and twenty years to learn. Still some
people take longer than that. In fact,
many never learn. This Is brief summa-
ry of Bernardine Holmes past .
Then one day when she was in the full
swing of her many engrossing occupations

direction you can bid pause and consider
how mad 1t is to suppose that the Temple
Of True knowledge should have been built
on an isolated and dangerous mountain.
Tell them that although God seems hard
he is not as hard as all that. Tell them
that The ideals are not mountain range
but their own plains, whore their great
cities are built, and where the corn grows,
and where men and women are toiling,
sometimes in sorrow and sometimes In
JOY"
II will CO." said the Traveller.
And he started.
But he had grown old and weary. And
the journey was long, and the retracing
of ones steps is more tiresome than the
tracing of them. The ascent, with all the
vigor and hope of life to help him, had
been difficult enough. The descent, with
no vigor and no hope to help him, was al
most impossible.
SO that it was not probable that the
Traveller lived to reach the plains But
whether he reached them or not, still he
had started.
And not many travellers do that.

SHIPS THAT PASS

CHAPTER I.
A NEWCOMER.

Eyes, indeed" remarked one Of the
guests at the English table, yes, indeed,
we start life thinking that we shall build
q great cathedral, q browning glory to ar
chitecture, and we end by oontriving q
mud hut"
III am glad you think so well Of human
nature" said the Disagreeable Man, sud
denly looking up from the newspaper
which he always read during mealtime.
"I should be more inclined to say that we
end by being content to dig hole and get
into 1t, like the earthmen.
A silence followed these words. The
English community at that end of the ia
bic was struck with astonishment at hear
ing tho Disagreeable Man speak. The few
sentences he had spoken during the last
four years at Petershof were on record.
This was decidedly the longest of them all.
He is going to speak again, !" whisper
ed beautiful Mrs. Reffold to her neighbor
The Disagreeable Man once more looked
up from his newspaper.
"Please pass me the Yorkshire relish, "
he said in his rough way to a girl sitting
next to him.
The spell was broken, and the converse
tion started afresh But the girl who had
passed the Yorkshire relish sat silent and
listless, her food untouched and her wine
untasted. She was small and thin. Her
face looked haggard. She was IA newcom-
er and had indeed arrived at Petershof
only two hours before the table d'hote bell
rang But there did not seem to be any
nervous shrinking in her manner nor any
shyncss at having TO face the $50 guests of
the kurhaus. She seemed rather to be un-
aware of their presence, or IL aware of
certainly Indifferent to the scrutiny under
which she was being placed. She was re-
called to reality by the voice of the Disa-
greeable Man. She did not hear what he
said, but she mechanically stretched out
har hand and passed him the mustard pot.

she said, looking at him intently. Then
she laughed. But there was no merriment
in the laughter.
Listen - she said as she bent nearer to
him. Because you are hopeless it does
not follow that you should try to make
others hopeless too. You have drunk deep
of the cup of poison. 1 can see that. To
hand the cup on to others is the part of a

She walked past the English table and
the Polish table, and so out of the kur'

What Will Do IT,

Medical writers claim that the sue.
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non irritating, easy of application,
and one that will reach the remote
sores and liberated surfaces. The history
OF the efforts to treat catarrh is proof
positive that only one remedy has com.
pletely met these conditions, and that
is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and
pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh
as nothing else has ever done, and both
physicians and patients freely concede
this fact Our druggists keep it.
