THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t is the simple life that gives length
of days, serenity of mind and body
and tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that simple diet
has done her:
81 have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. began rather
sparingly, until acquired such lik-
ing for it that for the last three
months I have depended upon it al
most entirely for my diet, eating moth
ing else whatever, but Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and I believe
could eat it for dinner with fruit and
be satisfied without other food, and
feel much better and have more
strength to do my housework.
when I began the use of Grape
Nuts I was thin and weak, my muscles
were so soft that was not able to do
any work. I weighed only 108 pounds.
Nothing that ate did me any good.
I was going down hill rapidly, was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi-
tion for anything. My condition i'm
proved rapidly after I began to eat
Grape-Nuts food. 1T made me feel like
new woman; my muscles got solid,
my figure rounded out, my weight in
creased to 126 pounds in few weeks.
my nerves grew steady and my mind
better and clearer. My friends tell
me they haven't seen Inc look so well
for years.
II consider Grape-Nut the best food
on the market, and shall never go
back to meats and white bread again"

gifted woman. Over 5000 hymns have
brain since she found the special work
to which God had evidently called her.
Fifty years ago Miss Crosby was
writing songs that were being sung all
over the land. At least one of them,
Music in the Air." has survived the
test of time and is still favorite with
the school children of to-day, and
many fathers and mothers will recall
favorite songs of their childhood which
came from her pen, such as Never
Forget the Dear Ones" Proud World,
Good-by, I'm Going Home" Hazel
DELL" THE Honeysuckle Glen," and
"Rosalie, the Prairie Flower"
But it was not until she was As that
she began writing hymns, and of all
the many thousands which she has
composed and which have found place
in the multitude of hyml books which
have been published in the last quar-
ter of a century, there is none she likes
SO we'll as Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
The story in connection with this
esting. "One day in 1868, she says,
wv. III. Doane, who had written the
music for number of my hymns,
came to me and said he had some
music for which he wanted words. He
added that he had just 40 minutes in
which to catch his train for Cincin-
natl. and asked me to evolve the lines

in a few minutes the idea came to me.
hurried upstairs, and in Is minutes
came down with the stanzas as they
are sung to-day. I believe that the
hymn was dictated by the spirit of the
Lord. 1t is a splendid mission hymn
and has brought comfort to tens of
thousands"
Another familiar hymn which is
among Miss Crosby's favorites is Res
cue the Perishing," and the inspira-
ton for the song was received at the
Bowery mission in New York, where
the author used to go almost nightly.
The favorite time of inspiration and
work with Miss Crosby is at the mid
night hour. She says: 'After mid
night everything is so quiet so still
there is something about it that in
spires me, that brings me in touch
with humanity, and like to sit alone
with my thoughts"
Miss Crosby makes her home with
her sister, Mrs. c. w. Ryder, at Bridge
port, Conn., and it is there, in the big,
roomy apartment, that the aged hymn
writer sits in her rocking c;,air, COM
posing hymns and memoriging them,
so that she can dictate to her sister
next morning, for, as every one knows,
she is blind, condition in which she
has been since she was six weeks old.

loss to know what he should do. The
fact is, Mrs. Van Twiller, l shall have to
be going-at once"
"Going?" echoed his hostess in amaze
ment Going? But my dear Nelson,
this is preposterous! You belong to us
this evening. 1t has been understood
for month"
"Yes-I hoped so-in fact-up to a
short time ago." Nelson faltered; "but
Major Van Twiller wishes me to go
on matter-on a matter in which re-
fusal is impossible
why, Merle, how inconsiderate!.' ex-
postulated Mrs. Van Twiller in her mild
effective way. 81 shall insist upon. a
different arrangement. Aileen and l de-
pend almost entirely on Nelson for the
spirit and success of the evening. You
know he leads the cotillion. Really this
is unreasonable. Your business certainly
can wait for tomorrow
Il would rather not postpone it, Mrs
Van Twiller,' interposed Wooster. eff
you will kindly express my regrets to
Aileen-the question is one in which
delay is out of the question"
Major Van Twil1er had made no reply
Having hastily thrust his revolver out of
sight he stood there, staring fxedly at
Wooster and rolling his long mustache
to the size of wire.
ooh, come, my DEAR" said his wife a
little impatiently, "this is incxcusable
interference What manner of business
can you have tonight that will send Mr.
Wooster posting off like this?'
Van Twiller drew down his overhanging
brows in undisguised annoyance There
were reasons on reasons why he could
not reveal to his wife what had been
taking place. And yet he had ordered
Wooster from his house as a thief and a
traitor. The predicament in which he
found himself was CALLING.
Once more Wooster answered in his
stead. 1.-THE question is one of some
privacy" he said. It-concerns me
far more than it does Major Van
Twi1ler" .
But no one transacts business at
night his hostess insisted. I'VE cannot
permit you to go. 1t is entirely too late
to make other arrangements. Merle, will
you please tell Mr.. Wooster that you wish
him to remain, and attend your other
affairs at reasonable hour?"
Cant you see that Nelson wishes
to go?" asked her husband He flinched
at pronouncing Wooster's given name.
He would say so to please you, I
know" Mrs. Van Twiller replied. q
shall be very much vexed indeed if you
insist upon this point. l wish him to
stay. Will you please decide the ques-
ton at once?" She leaned upon chair
and tapped her foot upon the floor i'm
patiently.
"Well-Wooster-I wish you to stay!"
commanded the Major sharply.
Thank you, my dear, said his wife.
"Now l wish you would kindly get ME
the diamonds from the SAFE
Major Van Twiller stared for a moment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-06-18

at his wife, then at the sinister iron box
in the corner, and finally at Wooster,
whose face was white and drawn. A new
conception of the recent affair occurred
to the Majors mind. He had failed to
think of the diamonds in the safe before,
as they nearly always were kept in a
downtown safe-deposit for the absolute
security that was not afforded here.
1t all broke upon him clearly. Wooster
had forced the safe for the necklace
Unquestionably the stones were now in
his pocket The perspiration broke out
on the Majors brow, not only at the re-
Election of how near he had been to order
ing Wooster to begone with the jewels,
but also at sudden thought of the new
and exceedingly disagreeable turn to
which he looked forward the moment the
safe should be opened, revealing the alb
sence of the diamonds What he would
do then, he could not for the life of him
determine.
All of this went flashing through his
mind in the briefest time Then a
scheme, at once generous and strategic,
suggested itself to his ingenuity. He
would give Wooster one fair chance to
restore the stones. 1t would save every
thing-for the moment at least-and the
thief could be dealt with later, ( in a
manner no less thorough for the slight
DELAY
Nelson" he said, 'j,st open the
safe for me, will you please? don't see
very well by gas-light. This is the key
to the inside door, The combination is
2-I6-IG-4."
That Wooster would grasp at this op-
portunity to smuggle the necklace from
his pocket and pretend to take it from
the box the older man had not the slight
est doubt
Il Think would rather YOU would
open the safe yourself" said Nelson, his
heart beating fearfully at the mere
thought of again approaching that loath-
some lump of iron in the corner. Il
never like to know any private
combinations You will excuse me,
please"
''Oh, give the key to mel You keep
me waiting interninably!" said Mrs. Van
Twiller Taking the key from her hus-
band, she went to the safe, and kneeling
on the hoor manipulated the KNOB with
a practised hand.
Glaring at Wooster. whose attitude
was now wholly inexplicable to his mind,
still convinced as he vas of the younger
mans guilty possession of the necklace,
Van Twiller was disconnected by the
panied but fearless look that met his
gaze.
A moment later his astonishment sud-
denly increased. With a noisy bang the
hostess closed the iron door. Her hus-
band turned and beheld the CLINT of the
diamonds she held in her hand
With tiny, inaudible gasp of relief,
Aileen retreated from her place behind the
curtain, and fled upstairs, to join the
guests assembled there to dance.
