No! He was not dead, but fright
fully injured, and the doctors who clus
tered about the bed shook their heads
ominously. 1t was strongly impressed
upon Rodney that the life of the pa
tient hung upon thread, the strands
of which were largely composed of his
watchfulness and strict obedience to
orders, and then he was left to watch.
Under Providence he held in his hands
the life of his enemy-of the man who
had supplanted him, maligned him, in

til, an hour later, one of the physicians
not DR.. BedlOwe-entered the room,
followed by shrieking, sobbing wom-
an, who sank upon her knees beside the
patient, whispering:
"Oh, Ralph, speak to me! MY hus-
band, my dear husband!"
And the weeping wife was Bella.
Was it strange that Rodney Kirke
asked himself if he was in a. dream
some hideous nightmare pressing upon
his brain? He moved to leave them
together, but Bella, caught his hand,
and in broken, sobbing sentences i'm
plored him to forgive her-to be kind
to Ralph and save his life for her sake
and her child. 1t was pitiful to see
her, to hear the story of the web of
deceit woven about James Kirke. who
was ignorant of the marriage of his
stepson. But at last, when the night
shadows were falling, Rodney Kirke
was free to collect his thoughts-to try
to make some coherent story in his be-
wildered brain. His love betrayed, he
felt with strange wonder no pain in
the fact. The contempt for the deceit
that had left him so easily and taken
the new. heir in his place had struck
his love dead. Even anger was with
cred by the scorn he felt.
But there opened before his mind at
once the power of revenge in his hands.
His rivals life depended on his skill
and his inheritance upon his science.
His uncle had written to him that this
man would be his heir; probably he

Gle.
Days passed, and as if he had been
his treasured friend, Rodney Kirke
nursed Ralph Olney back to life. He
had fought back all selfish considera-
ton, and left the results to the future.
His duty was to nurse his patient
faithfully, constantly, and he exceeded
his duty, only leaving him where Bella
was allowed to sit beside him. A deep
pity for the woman he had loved filed
his heart. 1t was evident that her in
fidelity was the yielding of a weak ma
ture to a strong one, and that she
feared her husband as much as she
loved him. When consciousness re-
turned to the invalid it became evident
that the mind was seriously impaired,
and gent1eness, evidently new to her,
greeted Bella's timid ministrations.
DR.. Bedlowe, watching all, urged up-
on Rodney the duty of seeking recon-
Citation with his uncle, but the young
man absolutely refused to make any
advances.
''You say you have told him of Ralph
Olney's marriage" he told his old
friend, land if he wants me he must
send for me-"
But the invalid, too, was obstinate,
and while Ralph was still in the hos
Dita1 lanes Kirka was fOnnd dood :,
his bed-heart disease having followed
train of other ailments.
The will that made his step-son his
heir was found, and, with bitterness
like death, Rodney one morning assist
ed in dressing his patient for the last
time, and saw him drive away, with
his wife and baby boy, to take possess
sion of the home he had regarded as
his own for the greater part of his life.
Ten years later DR.. Kirke, a man al
ready known in his profession, was sit
ting in his office alone, when his old
friend, DR.. Bedlowe, came in, his face
full of pleasure.

congratulate you. But I must tell my

Rodney, he gave me his solemn prom

JOY Versus Sorrow.

No human being can come into the
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total of human happiness,
not only of the present, but of every
subsequent age of humanity. No one
can detach himself from this connec-
ton. There is no sequestered spot in
the universe, no dark niche along the
disk of ron-existence to which he can
retreat from his relations to others,
where he can withdraw. his influence OF
his existence upon the moral destiny of
the world; everywhere he will have
for his influence. -

l demand that the Christian people
who have been standing aloof from
public affairs come back, and in the
might of God try to save our cities. If
things are or have been bad, it is be-
cause good people have let them be bad.
That Christian man who merely goes
to the polls and casts his vote does not
do his duty. 1t is not the ballot box
that decides the election, it is the po-
litical caucus; and if at the primary
meetings of the two political parties
unfit and bad men are nominated, then
the ballot box has nothing to do save
to take it's choice between two thieves!
In our churches, by reformatory or
ganization, in every way let us try to
tone up the moral sentiment in these
cities The rulers are those whom the
people choose, and depend upon it that
in all the cities, as long as pure hearted
men stand aloof from politics because
they despis hot partisanship, just so
long in many of our cities will rum
make the nominations, and rum con-
troll the ballot box, and rum inaugurate
the officials.
I take a step further in this subject,
and ask all those who believe in the
omnipotence of prayer, day by day, and
every day, present your city officials be-
fore God for blessing. If you live in a
city presided over by a mayor, pray for
him. The chief magistrate of city
is in a position of great responsibility.

THE STATE LEVY
Reduced Assessments Call for an In
crease in Rate


SACRAMENTO, Sept. 2-Representa-
tives of Senta Barbara county appeared
before the State Board Of Equalization
today in response, to a. citation. to show
cause why the assessment should not
be raised Assessor Frank Smith and
William May and Newhall were the
chief witnesses examined. They told
story of extreme hard times and poor
crops, mortgage foreclosures and worn
out land, and declared that next year
there would be further reduction in the
assessment, and that it should have been
further reduced this year. 1t is UNDER
stood that the board will this year re-
duce large number of interior counties
instead Of raising San Francisco, as
originally intended. This is owing to
the fact that there are not enough votes
on the board to raise San Francisco The
result of this will be a raise in the tax
levy, but how much would only be guess
work. and would depend upon how
many interior counties are reduced and
TO what extent. The reduction NAV
however, be so extensive as to raise. the
tax levy.
