detective there. You know the opin.
ion has changed about the death Of
the girl who was found in the alley
way. She is now thought to have
been murdered, and as the murderer
has not yet been discovered it is only
common prudence that the girls who
have been or are likely to be subject
to his Vaccinations, should be Under
the guardianship Of the police"
Mr.. Degraw assented. and the two
young men parted, Mr.. Byrd being
anxious to respond to a summons he
had received from the inspector, and
the artist being equally eager to put
into execution plan that had sug-
gested itself to him just as Mr.. Byrd
was leaving. This referred to the
possibility Of getting certain brother
artist of his to join him in sketch
ing tour among the Berkshire Hills.
There had been some talk of such
thing the year before, but It had fallen
through. This time lie was deter
mined upon reopening the subject and
bring it to q definite conclusion. He.
therefore, soon followed Byrd into
the street, and before nightfall so sue
ceeded in infusing his own enthu-
siasm into the mind of his friend that
he procured from him promise to
undertake the expedition at once.
Elated and gay with hope the light
hearted artist returned home. Life,
earth and nature seemed changed.
He sang as he bounded up the stairs
leading to his room, and the sound OF
his cheerful tones seemed to shake the
great buildings and lend sunshine TO
its somewhat dismal halls. But he
did not sing long. AS he reached the
floor where his own room was situated
he perceived two men standing like q
couple of shadows before his door.
and the surprise chilled his blood and
hushed his gayety, for the face of one
was the face of Byrd, but so changed
from what it had been a few hours
before that he would scarcely have
known it If he had not recognized in
his companion the famous Mr.. Gryce.
who had been introduced to him at po-
lice headquarters.
At his appearance both Of these per-
sons turned. and for once it was the
older detective who came the nearer
to meeting his eye.
"Mr. Degraw, I believe" said he.
"The same" returned the artist.
viii you come in?" And he hast
ened to unlock the door, from which
they had momentarily stepped aside.
"No bad news, hope?" he murmured.
as he brushed by Byrd.
But the young detective forbore to
reply. He was evidently not in love
with his errand and preferred to pre-
serve a non-committal silence. Mr..
Gryce, on the contrary, was alert and
at his ease. He cast admiring glances
over the studio and paused before the
painting Of "a Poets Dream" with
hearty appreciation in every feature.
But he lost no time.
"Mr. Degraw," said he. "we have
come upon disagreeable errand. lam
charged" and his eye left the picture.

"Arrest?" The artist laughed; what

All Have q Place,

Every brick in the wall has its place,
and place no other one can fill. 1t may
be hidden from sight in some obscure nook
in the building where admiring eyes never
rest upon it, but its Importance may be far
greater, and its mission far more essential
than some that are more conspicuously
placed. God has made some lives to be
hidden, some for the night and some for
heralded. No one proc.aims it. Their
names seldom get into the papers. But in
the mind of the Great Builder their incon-
spicuous place in the divine plan is of great
Importance Presbyterian.

Poem: The Hour With God-Perils OF Priv

Mean Added Responsibility For Those
Exceptionally Favored.
My God. is any hour 80 sweet,
From blush of morn to evening sSar, Z
As that which calls me to Thy feet,
That hour of prayer?
BEST is that tranquil hour Of morn, ~
And blest that solemn hour of eve,
When, on the wings of prayer upborne,
The world I leave.
Then is my strength by Thee renewed;
Then are my sins by Thee forgiven;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
With hopes Of heaven. li
flushed is each doubt, gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heaven to stay;
And cen the penitential tear zs$
Is wiped away.
Lord, till reach that blissful shore
No privilege so dear shall be,
As thus my Utmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee.

Duties of the Strong.

Christ taught a proportionate responsi-
bility, says the Boston Congregationahst-
ITO whosoever much is gwen, Of him
much shall be required. and to whom they
commit much, of him will they ask the
more" Great gifts and privileges, there
fore, carry with them o corresponding dam
ger. This is so with personal gifts, It is !
bodies in which we hold membership.
The strong man likes to use his strength. I.
He may use it for evil, but he is not likely
to let it lie unused. In the parable it Is \
not the one who has ten talents who hides,
them away unused. The great danger ls'
more fresuently with the weak, who rest
upon the attainment of Others, and fail to,
have. The perils arising from privileges
are most frequently the perils Of the weak
and the few talented.
One such peril is that of narrowness OF
view. Prosperity is, on the whole, e1cep-J
tional, but the thoughtless members of q
successful church or company are apt to-.
fall out of sympathy with the unsuccessful
members. Members of strong churches
hear with some impatience the call for help
strength. their imagination is too feeble to-
enable them to sympathize with the strug-s
gle and hardship in which all great work
begins. The personally prosperous, esper
cially the prosperous through inheritance,
have little patience with poverty or mis-.
fortune, which too often seem like crimes. /.
But to be unsympathetic is to be dead to-
the fellowship of believers, to whom Christ
prophesied that they must suffer tribute
tisH. a'.-@ ~ Il
In the same way pride of family Is often
treated as # it were q virtue which the
owner had himself acquired, instead Ola
responsibility which God has laid upon
him. This view on good descent as
ground of personal merit is as common as
it is amusing, but it easily becomes peril
to the soul. The same is often true of ma (
tional pride, which also Is Gods call to-
great responsibilities. To be an American
is only a matter of choice to those who
are not born Americans. To be good
American is responsibility end an OPP
portunity. The danger is that we may
we can afford to be weak or careless citir
zens. To be an American is little. Three
assassins of three Presidents have been
Americans by birth or choice. But to be.
the right sort of an American is much. sg
The church is made up Of men who lift,
and men who lean, of men who are feed
ers of strength and men who are parasites.
The world is in need Of q whole-soulcd,s
unanimous, growing and Christ-ike church.
It is peril Of privilege if any disciple be-
lieves that this need does not include his
own enthusiasm and growth toward !
strength. The strong can never help the
weak as they might do, until every church.
has all the working force at its disposal
which God has given. The bracing atmos-i
phere of struggle may be far better for the
soul than confidence in the attainments
and the strength of which we are part,
but to which we contribute nothing. 4

This Warm-Hearted World.

The last time that Frances e. Willard
spoke to Washington audience she told
of Chicago bootblack, who with his kit
on his shoulders and package Of news
papers under his arm, stopped at the call
of man with a club foot. He worked
away at the mans shoes, giving them .as
fine polish as he could, and when the job.
was done the man threw him double pay,
saying, mo change; I made you more,
work than most folks do"
Quick as fash the little fellow handed
back half of the money, saying, with his
eyes full of earnest sympathy, "Oh, mister
l couldn't make money out of your
trouble"
Not far from Washington there lives a
boy who has to bear the heavy burden Of
deformity, but so bravely does he bear it
that he is the very heart of his home, the
brightest and cheeriest and most helpful
one in the household. -:s.. s5h
Not. long ago he went out and huntedI
up situation for himself, so that he might
be able to pay his share of the family ex-
pensss.
Somebody asked him, "Don't you find it,
rather disagreeable going about as you
have to now"
He looked up with his bright, flashing
smile, and answered quickly, "Oh, no
everybody is kind to a fellow in my fix.
with slight gesture toward his back al
he spoke. -. : -

Rest.

~
What is rest? It is ITO step out of self
life into Christ life; to be still and let
Him lift you out of it;,to fold your hands
close and hide your face upon the hem of
His robe; to let Him lay His cooling.
soothing, healing hands upon your soul and
to draw all the hurry and fever from its
veins; to realize you are not mighty mes.
senger, an important worker, of His, full
of care and responsibility, but only Little
ochild, with a Fathers gentle bidding to
heed and fulfill; to lay your busy plans
and ambitions confidently in His hands, as
child brings it's broken toys at its moth
er's call; to serve Him by waiting; to
praise Him by saying, Holy, holy, holy,
single note of praise, as do the seraphim
of the heavens, if that be His will; to cease
to hurry so that you lose sight of His face;
to learn to follow Him, and not run ahead
of orders; to cease to live in self and for
self, and to live in Him and for Him; to
love His honor more than your own; to be
a clean and facile medium for His ife-tide
to shine and glow through-this is conse-
Grafton, and this is rest."-Atlanta Constr

very many are wasted and eelf-ruined by
their own vilest passions; that the lives
of some are like mere poison and .pestl-
lence to al around them; that it is the
lives of few only which are noble and gen.
eroas, brave and unselhsh, merciful and
just, pure and true? And the main curse
of most lives is that they think only OF
self and live only for self" l hope that
the words contain nn exoggeration. / can
own circle lives which, though they be
hidden from public view and knowledge,
are "brave and unselfsh," pure and
true" But the words OF the great church
man are a challenge and an appeal. The
insistent call for service las not ceased
Thank God, history shows that the call
has not been in vain. In the social stream
of the life of this world it is good to thick
of men and women who have not pleased
themselves, but have gone about doing
good. great souls who in their stubborn
devotion to the truth, in detestation OF
falsehood and lies, have faced a lying
storm of weak and cowardly criticism, not
holding their lives dear unto themselves.
I hear some one say. 1--WE have no such
call rs they" but we have. The only call
they had we have-the call of the need.
We might, the humblest of US, be useful.
Perhaps very few eyes will be wet for us,
and they not for long, while others, with
less of opportunity than ourselves, have
gone down to the grave amid the benedic::
tions of the poor. All, the insistent call
for service has not ceased. Can we not
strive to rise, to rise unitedly. to rise in
ever strengthening fellowship, into such
life as is described by the words spoken
of our blessed Lord, "He went about
doing good"
