Nor runs too fast or slow;

treatment the young man was driven
TO commit suicide. The owner Of that
gambling den afterward neuented of

But though We may be unable 10 un-

bors we can make restitution for many
Of our past Disdeeds. and one of the
chief manifesto tions Of true repentance
is the expressed desire and willingness
TO personally atone. as far as lies with
In our power. for past faults. The
widow OF the famous artist John Cpie
once said: Il never saw my husband

his fingers together interrogatively.
The new client, who had with him

He kept his word. though he made
coplous notes, and for some moments
there was only the monotonous sound
of the one voice, as the new client re-
cGpItulated all the circumstances

burned away, and the first word which
was deciDherable was his fathers
"Sflas."
Below this might be read, with,
some difficulty. the following inco-
herent scraps of sentences, in which,
after all, there was a good deal of
guess work:
Have not forgotten OF

this letter at once for Dover
|. expect 20 reach There
is that between us which not
allow yoU to deny ask

Beneath this last sentence he could
make out what he took to be the
letter J, which apparently stood for
the initial letter of the Christian
name, but the rest Of the signature
was burned and obliterated.
At this moment something again re-
called TO him the mysterious words
which he had heard the night before
the funeral. and he looked round for a
possible Interpretation of them.

bargain is not being lost. A woman
visitor at a fashionable resort ON the
Maine coast last summer went to the
Universalist church in the place the
first Sunday morning of her stay, and

was no hymn book. however, but the
occupant of the pew behind her
reached over and placed one in her
hands. At the close Of the service the
visitor turned and thanked the person,

church all summer she would like to
