pull away from the cave into the
brighter light.

They continued to pull doggcdly
away, and kept their hands upon me
to prevent me from throwing myself
into the water. Binding tears came
to my eyes and flowed over. l knew
that 1t was vain to resist, and l knew
besides that the few minutes that had
intervened were fatal minutes, and car

sorrow so easily, and 1t was with min

"The rewards Of honesty and un-
swerving principle are sometimes slow,
but that in the end they are sure, and
greater for their slow coming, admits
of no question" writes Edward w. Box
in problems of Young Men," In the
Ladies' Home Journal. Our princI-
ples are sometimes severely tested, but
this testing is given us with purpose.
Holding fast to honorable principles
is the basis upon which all sure sue
cesses are built. Some have to pass
through more fire than others. but
firmly belieye that the reward in the
end is the greater to those. What the
world says OF a man matters little in
such a struggle. 1t Is the great inner
satisfaction which comes to man tha,

Something for Nothing.

There is no form OF deceit more like
ly to occur than self-deception, and of
all kinds of self-deception none are
more tempting than the things which
happen when man endeavors to get
something for nothing. Nor is it more
reprehensible to get money In this
way than 1t is to get reputation
without giving an equivalent-in fact.
there is more damage in the latter
than in the former proceeding. All
sorts Of gambling arise from the desire
to get something for nothing without
rendering adequate recompense. stock
gambling and the bucket shops and its
fruits. The world is twisted and torn
by its tremendous tendency.-Rcv. w.
