"Ahl You prepared for all this. It Is

away to the window at the rooms far
end and peering through its small dusty
panes. Heavy wooden shutters hung flap
ping outside, the freshness Of their inner
surfaces showing that 1t was but q little
while since they had been flung wide.
The sash likewise showed signs Of re-
cent opening. No doubt the place had
been made ready for her detention in
case she dared to balk the conspiracy
against her house, for conspiracy IL must

her aunt into letting him head the
search and so manage that they should
be found exactly as had been planned.
Even had she felt fear, the fame Of
anger in her must have burned It away.
IN the strength Of it she felt able and
willing to defy the conspirators, the ele-
ments, the wrath Of heaven itself.
The clang Of the door made her turn
to see Royal Cleve carefully barring it
in place.

up to the rough table, where some food
had been spread, and though all uncon-

ing:

fair in the shimmering heat, with lap

along the far fading lines that ran down
to the rivers brink. A wild world it
seemed, full Of savage, untouched beauty.
Dare studied it long and earnestly, then
took away her eyes, with a shiver, say
ing:
Zone might fancy all the giants Of
the fairy tales were dead and buried
here under these long leafy graves"
Royal Cleve caught the hand that lay
lightly upon her pommel, laid his lips
upon it and said in shaken voice:
''Dare, darling, is not q living lover
worth as much in your eyes as a dead

''It depends, Dare said breathlessly,
refining her horse away, quick flush
staining her neck and brow.
In flash Cleve was beside her, but
said, not attempting to touch her:

"Ahl Then they are unwelcome nowG
Will they always be so?'' Cleve asked
quietly, with dark flush rising in his

Dare looked him full in the eyes and

The Best Medicine an Overworked Woman
Can Take

The Best Medicine an Overworked Woman
Can Take.
How few persons, especially how few
women, know how to take a holiday !
1t is difficult for busy woman to
wrench her mind away from the bust
ness or domestic cares that have been
engrossing her, and it seems to be still
more difficult for her to be perfectly idle.
Yet if holiday is going to do any good
it must afford an entire change in
thought and mode Of life, and genuine
idleness for two on three weeks would
be the greatest change possible to hun
dreds of women who are wearing out
soul and body over their work On the
rare occasions when such a woman does
allow herself a vacation she sets herself
a holiday task, certain amount Of in
structive reading, the writing up Of
some pet subject for which she has not
hitherto found time Or a quantity Of sew
ing, SO that the precious DAYS that should
be entirely devoted to physical and men
tai rest and recuperation are mainly
spent over the needle, above hard book
OF at the desk She looks up now and
then and rejoices in the sight Of the sea,
the mountains or the broad country
fields, but to give herself over for time
to mere etfortlcss existence seems never
to occur to her.
Properly regarded, a summer holiday
is the best medicine an overworked wo-
man can take, for it offers an unlimited
opportunity for sleeping and for being
in the pure open air. A large rug. a
shawl and a cushion are the most inn
portant parts Of the necessary outfit.
while a batch Of paper. covered novels
will supply all the mental stimulus that
is good for her. The rug, cushion and
shawl will provide her with comfortable
lounging accommodations Oh the turf or
the beach, while the novels viii serve as
a soporific II she il wise, she viii eat
as much as possible, exert herself as lit
tie as possible and 70 to bed at O'Clock,
and when she returns she will feel in
finitely better for having been neither
gay nor intellectual during her vacation.

sence Of occupation is not rest, " evident

Boston libraries to get material IN the
subject. All the books shown her We're
unsatisfactory, dealing with the forms
of letters and saying nothing more. She
resolved then and there to write book
herself such as she conceived would be
useful The necessary study and research
led her by a strange route into teaching,
for when the book was completed no
publisher would take it unless there
were specimen letters in it. To get a va
riety Of them she began to teach by cor
respondence.
Miss Galloway has studied in Edin-
bnrgh and London, finding At the great
English libraries, the Oxford and Bod
leian, many valuable manuscript letters
which have been Of use in the work
''The inside Of letter is the cream of
the correspondence, says this unusual
instructor. Il teach my pupils that the
motive Of the letter is more important
than the outside form. ! always tell
them that | do not make finished letter
writers Of them, but simply suggest lines
Of thought that they can carry out "
Her pupils are of every age and from
many walks in life, from farmers to
lawyers, from society ladies to cowboys.
Miss Galloway is the author Of several
little books Hints to a Silent Friend
Upon Writing Letters, n The Phantom
Letter, n "The Wit On the Staircase"
and Musical Postals. Z This last for
mulates a unique way Of writing short
messages by musical signs, saving time
and preserving secrecy.
Miss Galloway thoughts and theories
on her art are soon to be published in
book form. She possesses a l-.autiful
copy Of her manuscript, prin -d entirely
by pen and ink, the work Of one Of her
pupils. 1t is bound i'll fine leather and
is a veritable edition dc luxe From its
index one can get an idea of the timely
topics treated by the author Among
them are Observation Studies, ''"Cour-
teay," f" Apologies, ""The Dry Letter, "
'The Sympathetic Letter, Picture
Letters, n ''Tne Mischief Making Let
ter, y 1.-THE Lngubrious Letter. and
"Silent Conversations
Miss Galloway is a small woman, with
bright, earnest face and a winning
manner. The personality that. if true to
her theories, she must convey III her let
ters to pupils is 50 very magnetic and
forceful that her success il not to be
wondered at.

Whether the twcnty-frst chapter Of
Revelation refers to the condition Of
things when the gospel shall triumph
throughout the world or is description
Of the future heaven is "A matter Of dis
pute. But in either case it may refer to
heaven, the promised land Of the Chris

~ as type Of the real glory Of the fu-
ture existence Of Gods people. From
necessity the Bible does not tell us
much definitely about heaven, because
we could not probably understand it.
What is told is i'll figures and types,
which, If we cannot fully understand,
Is yet sufficient to encourage Us i'll our
efforts to enter heaven, and this il un-
doubtedly the purpose Of what il said,
particularly in the passage before Us.
Our promised land is here represented
az "the holy city of new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as bride, adorned for her hus-
band. " Jerusalem was the Jews ideal Of
everything that was beautiful and de-
sirable, and such an image would fulfill
their ideal of what heaven should be as
it should also ours. God dwelt in this
city, for 1t is called the tabernacle of
God. " Where heaven is we do not know,
but that it is where God and Christ
manifest themselves in an especial man
ner we do know Where God IL, where
Christ il, that j. heaven, and there can
be no heaven without them The pres
ence Of God was to be rich with blessing,
for He was to wipe all tears from the
eyes of His people, and there was to be
''nO more death, neither sorrow nor
crying; neither any more pain What
comforting description Of our promised
land But God is to be everywhere
present i'll heaven, for the city Had do
temple, no special place Of abode for
God. Heaven is also place Of security.
The gates of the city are not to be shut
by day, not to be shut at all, ''for there
shall be no night there. No night Of
sorrow, Of watching, Of WEAKNESS, Of
sickness, Of gloom and despair Neither
is there to be sun nor moon, for the
glory Of God and the Lamb are the light
thereof
How may we enter this promised
land? 'There shall in no wise enter in
to it anything that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination or
maketh lie, but they which are writ
ten in the Lambs book Of life. " There
is but one way to fulfill these conditions,
and that is to be i'll Christ. His blood
alone can cleanse US from sin. By His
merits alone can our names be written
i'll His book of life Think not to enter
heaven but through Christ, the door.

thought Of God a. their enemy. Chris
tianity has been fighting this idea for Is
centuries and has not yet overcome it.
The first idea a child should have Of
God is that Of a great Father, to whom
he can tell his joys as well as troubles.
This being stayed by God deprives failure
Of anxiety and disappointment. Wegen-

What the Go srmboIires.

Christ IS cross is a standard Of service
The altar Of sacrifice, with its offering of
submission, becomes the standard of di-
vine service. Sacrifice for others and
submission to Gods will are the ele-
ments Of Christian service which are
symbolized in the cross To live selfish,
thoughtless lives, disregardful of the
needs Of the world, caring for our own
things and not for the good Of others, is
to live far from Calvary s cross. Selfish
ness has no place in Christian service.
for selfishness disowns the cross. Sub
mission to Gods Will in doing or in
bearing is highest Christian service.
The cross il the symbol Of the highest
service that we can render to God. -

CREAMLAND.

Who're signs the whispering linden
To summers lightest breeze,
Where tUneful birds make music
Unseen mid shady trees
How sweet awhile to linger
Beside some babbling stream,
And lulled by its soft murmur
To fall asleep and dreaml
What strange fantastic pictures
Pass mirrored DER the brain
As youth forgets its troubles
And age grows young againi
The past, no more remembered,
Makes way for what shall be,
And scenes Of future gladness
Are all the dreamers see.
All, would these idle fancies
Might sometimes prove them true
Nor fade away to nothing
And vanish from the viewl
Fond thought But cease repining.
Perchanee tits happier thus
To leave unsolved life's riddle
Nor ask what waits for us.
