evening.

professor. "for I can't afford more

A few minutes later Horace was
driving up to Covent Garden. The
professor might have required from
him rather more than was strictly
justified by their acquaintanceship.

CHAPTER II.
A Cheap Lot.

In spite of the fact that 1t was the
luncheon hour when Ventimore reach
ed the auction rooms, he found the
big gallery crowded.
For all Horace knew. the collection
as q whole might be of little value.
but 1t very soon became clear that
others besides Professor Futvoye had
singled out such gems as there were;
also that the professor had consider
ably moderated the prices they were
likely to fetch.
Ventimore made his bids with all
possible discretion. but time after
time he found the competition for
some perforated mosque lantern, en-
graved ever or ancient porcelain tile
so great that his limit was soon
reached, and his sole consolation was
that the article eventually changed
hands for sums which We're very
nearly double the professors esti.
mate.
The sale dragged slowly on, and
what with continual disappointment
and want of food Horace began tc
feel so weary that he was glad, as
the crowd thinned, to get a seat al
one of the green baize tables. He
only waited for the final lot marked
by the professor-an old Persian
copper bowl, inlaid with silver ant
engraved round the rim with an in
ScriDtion from Hafiz.

shillings of his own to spare. Why

brothers blood, and Cain went and
dwelt in the land of Nod. Can we
believe that Cain found his wife in the
land of Nod: Then, if we do, we can
not believe that God finished His
work of creation when He made the
one man.
The Scriptures say the world was to
be filled with people from Adam and
Eve. Every man that believes the
Bible ought to know that there was
no other way for them to multiply
only to marry and inter-marry. Men
lived in that day and time over 900
Years. We are not told when Eve
died, or whether she bore children
during the 100 years from the creation
to the birth of Seth, except Cain and
Abel. Let us remember that Seth il
the only one of Adams family that is
counted through which the race was
to bruise the serpent's head. That
seed was Christ Gal: g. l6, "Adam
begat sons and daughters" We are
not told how many or at what time
in his life. And Seth begat Enos.
Here is another question: Who was
the mother of Enos? Was she not his
fathers sister, for, according to the
Bible there was only Adams family;
Adams sons and daughters? The sons
of Adam could not take wives of any
other family. We also ask the quest
ion: who was Abraham's wife,"
We may all know who Sari was. She
was Abraham's sister. Gen. 20:l2-
Yet, indeed, she is my sister; she is
the daughter of my father; she is not
the daughter of my mother, and she

The idea of school days might be

THE MEANING OF I. Fl. S.
!. H. s., so often used as a symbol
of faith, is commonly interpreted to
mean In His Steps. Many who are
versed in Latin say that the letters
stand for the Latin words, In Hoe
Salus, meaning In Him Salvation.
There are three other meanings at
tached to the letters: One is Jesus
Hominum Salvador (Jesus Savior of
mem; In Hoe Signo (by this sign,
with conquer understood); In Hac
Saus lin this is salvation, this mean
in cross understood).
The symbol with which we are so
familiar, which is used to ornament
church walls, windows, affairs, prayer
books and tombstones means no one
of these. 1t means Jesus and is an
al breviation or rather a contraction
OF IHSOUS, the Greek word for Jesus.
This contraction was at one time writ
ten his. or his. instead of l. H. s.,
which punctuation is due to the Latin
interpretations as given above.
