Wise men watch their own hearts

It is sometimes better to climb over

No man ever stumbles over an OBJ

CHAPTER ri.

Two days later Hendricks was de.
clared able to go down to his Office. He
had just finished dressing when his
mother raped on his door.
"You have a visitor in the drawing
room, said the old lady, with smile
"A visitor?'' grunted the detective,
impatiently.
"A young lady, smiled Mrs. Hen
bricks. 'She would not give her name,
but she is about the prettiest creature
I ever saw. She is dressed in the latest
fashion, and drove up in her own car

Hendricks turned quickly and flushed
slightly.

said Mrs. Hendricks when his fund Of
adjectives was exhausted. 'She is very
anxious to see YOU"
''Tell her I'll be right down." said
Hendricks. "she is just the person
wanted to see.''
A moment later when he entered the
little drawing-room he found the
heiress standing near a window.
II am afraid I shall be great in
truder on your time," she began, as she
took his hand, in the cordial clasp of
which there was vague reinsurance,
"but I have been to your office three
times hoping to find you in"
Hendricks cleared his throat. He was
really shocked at the alteration in her.
She had grown thinner, and her great
lustrous eyes shone from sockets In
which there was no sign of blood.
II am certainly glad you came," he
said, leading her to comfortable chair.
II would have been pleased to have met
you-to have come to you, but have
been confined to my room b y a slight in

Huntington, ..and was so sorry"

she spoke her voice vibrated with the

FROM DOUBT TO CONFIDENCE.
Experience of a Pastor and Professor
of TheolOEy-'sN1y Jesus, as
ThOu Wilt.0

DR.. Thomas Fl. Skinner, before he be-
came professor of pastoral theology in
Union Theological seminary, was pas
tor of Presbyterian church in the
city of New York. He was learned,
logical and eloquent preacher, and in
his congregation were to be seen law
yers, doctors and college graduates.
Once the superintendent of the Sunday
school attached to his church persuad-
ed DR.. Skinner to address the scholars.
my dear children" began the pas
tor, ''as the time is limited, will give
you only a synopsis of the address I
had prepared. You may not, my dear
children, know the meaning of synop-
sis; it is equivalent to epitome." Then,
having uttered this lucid definition, he
proceeded to talk in words that few of
the teachers and none of the scholars
understood.
The professor was learned theolo-
gian and a devoted Christian, but he
was not exempted from attacks of
doubt that threatened to uproot even
his belief in the existence of God. Once
he was overheard in his study pound
ing the study-desk with his clenched
hand as he ejaculated: There is a
God! God is! know i'll"
Toward the close of his life, how
ever, he journeyed into the land where
not wave of trouble rolls. A week
or two before his death there was a
meeting of clergymen at his home,
who were deeply affected to hear the
aged professor recite, with singular
emphasis, the hymn: my Jesus, as
Thou Wilt" It was his swan song

wanted to employ them and that was
ready if necessary to spend every cent
of my Inheritance in Mr.. Gielow's be-
half. They of course were glad to ten
der their services, but when told them
of your politeness to me the other
night, and that something seemed to
tell me you would help me if it lay in
your power, they declared at once that
you could simply do rnything you
wished. And then they told me they
had been reading the papers and had
not noticed that you were employed on
the case by the police, and said if I
could retain you I ought to do it at
once"
Hendricks bowed and smiled uncom-
fortably.
II do not exactly understand" he
said, slowly. IL don't exactly see
how anybody at this stage could aid
Mr.. Gielow until we know more of the
matter"
1.-THE lawyers agree with me-" replied
the heiress, ''that he ought to be found
and brought back by his friends, and
not wait till the police arrest him."
'Oh!" And Hendricks exclamation
showed that he was still in the dark.
II happen to know some things that
you are unaware Of" hastily added Miss
Huntington, "and my lawyers agreed
that if we could possibly retain you
with what I know we could help little.
I am willing to let you name your own
price,"
Hendricks sat up in his chair and
crossed his feet.
"We'd never quarrel over money mat
tiers, Miss untington; and as I am
not employed by the other side pledge
myself to your cause.'
A glow of color family tinged the
hitherto bloodless face of the heiress.
"You are so good!" she said, in
husky voice. II know you will do all
that can be done, and my lawyers think
if we could get him to come back volur-
tarily, and give himself up, that we
might be able to prove that he was in
sane"
'Insane?" cried Hendricks, his sur
prise driving away his timidity.
II am going too FAST" said the girl
plaintively. II have not told you all,

THE KINGDOM OF JUDAH.
Note 1. That there were 10 kings and
one queen, 20 in all, and all of one
dynasty. that of David; while in Israel
there were 10 kings, but Of nine differ
ent dynasties, implying different con-
dition and character of the people.
Note2 The kingdom of Judah lasted,
according to the Revised Chronology,
$50 years, while the kingdom Of Israel
existed only 215 years. The reasons for
this can be seen by comparing the story
Ct Israel with that of Judah. Turn to
the Review of the Third Quarter.
Note 3. The bad kings, and the evils
they wrought in morals and religion,
introd ucing idolatry, and it's license and
crimes, corruption, selfishness, oppres-
sion and luxury. Some of these rulers
were Rehoboam, Jehoram. Athaliah,

Note 5. Study the work of the
prophets-their mission, their names
and the place in the history where they
prophesied; how they were treated,
their character, their visions of hope.
their written works.
Note 6. How in spite of all this they
rushed on to their own ruin, slowly at
first. then more rapidly at last, as in the
rapids, above Niagara, then over the
precipice to destruction.

know that it would be folly to try to
prove that he did not kill Mr.. Caruthers,

Reasonable Unreason.

That the faculty of reasoning was
given to man is good evidence that
God expects him to be reasonable. But
it is not evidence that man is expected
to depend exclusively on his reason.
1t is given to man to apprehend those
things which his reason cannot COM
prehend, but which he feels to be true
and trustworthy. 1t is in his most
unreasoning moments of faith and
trust that man often shows himself
most reasOnable.-S.S S. Times.
