Investments if he wished to do so.
7 Margrave had reseated himself, and
lounged on the settee with a cOnfiden-
tial air that he had found very effec-
tive in the committee-rooms at the
state capital when it was necessary to
deal with a difficult legislator.

asked Wheaton. He had not expected
an opportunity to talk to any one of
Margrave's standing on this subject,
and he thought t, he would get some in

Don't ask me! If knew I'd like

the bitterness Of years of controversy
in his relations with Porter.

form of bribery known as. the annual

pass
One of these pretty bits of paste
board was at once mailed to Wheaton
by the Second: Assistant General Some
thing on Margrave's recommendation.
Wheaton accepted the pass as a
tribute to his growing, prominence in
the town He knew that Porter re-
fused railroad passes on practical
grounds, holding that such favors were
extended in the hope of reciprocal
compliments, and he believed that a
Wheaton, whose vanity had been
touched, could see no harm in them.
He had little use for passes as he
knew and cared little about travelling,
but he had always envied men who
carried their ANNALS in little brass
bound books made for the purpose.
To be sure it was late in the. year and
passes We're usually sent out1in Janu-
ary, but this made the compliment seem
much more direct; the Transcontinen-
tai had forgotten him, and had
thought it well to rectify the error

the young woman.
Lansing looked at the lapel of his
coat and then understood the mis-

youns women, the daughters Of
wealthy parents, attending Rosemary
Hall seminary at Rock Ridge, Green
Wich, have set themselves the task of
building a chapel.
They have been engaged for several
days mi loading rock onto awagon and
hauling it to the building site. Girls
are acting as teamsteGs, as leaders and
as receivers at the stone pile, which is
growing rapidly.
They could afford to pay to have all
this work done, but it is their purpose
to show that they are capable of doing
what they set out to do. AS soon as
the weather will permit the girls will
dig out the pit for the foundation, mix
the sand and mortar, carry the hod
and do whatever else the actual work
Of building may demand. In a word,
the chapel Is to be their work and
theirs alone
The idea originated a few months
ago in the brain Of one of the girls
who attend that stylish seminary. Her
companions, like her, are daughters of
wealthy parents in the principal cities
of the United States and are unac-
customed to any kind of manual

the dog was blinking at the falling

derful than the curative power Of con-
fession. It soothes the pain and
draws the poison from the sore. It is
water on fire and oil on water.
Are you one of those hard, savage,
brutal people who never back down;
never admit an error; never ac-
knowledge a fault? Nothing can be
more base and nothing more wicked.
If you have been unfair and unjust,
go and make clean breast of it.
open confession is good for the
SOUL
But forgiveness Is as imperative a
necessity as Confession" It is pass
ing strange, but it is unequivocally
true that a quarrel cannot be made
UP without a free pardon. The heart
that has been hurt can be relieved
and restored to its original state Of
good will only when that divine SEN
timent has exuded, as gums .exude
from wounded trees. The bitterness
is drained out by the act of pardon.
If you refuse to forgive you will feel
unworthy and be unhappy. And as for
the one who has acknowledged the
fault, nothing Is more certain than
that he will be exasperated by your
not forgiving him. It is humiliating
enough to confess, butSit is madden
ing not to be forgiven. And yet in
spite of this psychological law some
people pride themselves in being vim
dictive. 1--WE forgive, but we never
forget" they say-too stupid to per-
ceive the contradiction. To forgive
is to forget. The soul that freely par
dons gradually loses the memory. Cor
at least the painful memory of the
wound.
This spiritual confession and par
dom Is the most beautiful phenome-
non in nature. 1t is the cure for all
mental unhappiness. Hearts capable
of performing these two sublime acts
will love forever. The deepest and
sweetest experiences of their lives will
be making up" their quarrels. Just
as divided electric currents reunite
when passing thru two poles of a bat
terry, their love will mingle thru con-
fession and pardon. And SO when
you and John read this article by the
flreside open your hearts to each
other. Confess the sin, forgive the
wrong and you will love more deeply
than you have loved before.s
