Pooling o Great Doctor.

Sir Morel Mackenzie once received a
wire from Antwerp asking him his
charges for a certain operation. He
replied $500 (S250O), and was told to
come at once. When he stepped upon
the dock he was met by three men in
mourning, who informed him sadly
that the patient had died that morning.
But" said the spokesman of the
party, 1--WE dc not intend that you shall
be out Of pocket a shilling. We shall
pay your fee" And they did. And
now" said the man, what do you say
to visiting the city hospital and giving
a clinic for the benefit of .our local
surgeons?"
Sir Morel said he would gladly com
ply. He went to the hospital and per-
formed many operations, among which
were two Of q similar nature to that

CHAPTER XIII.

Instinct said to Jane that Mohun,
broken and disappointed, would find
her out at once; and instinct was right,
At I O'Clock in the evening of the next
day Clifford walked coolly into the little
parlor where she was sitting, breath
lessly happy. and expecting him.
"Jane-let us be friends again."
This was all his explanation of the
past or promise for the future; but the
sound of his voice. of his footstep, was
enough to unlock the whole long frozen
love Of Miss Grand's heart. She made
no show of GOODNESS. no concealment of
what she felt at receiving linn back
10 her again.
"Gifford-ah. Clifford! l have waited
so long for you"
And then she took his hands and led
him to the place where they had used
to sit beside the window. and looked
over him, as mothers sometimes do
over very prodigal IN who are given
back to them; and Mohun's pardon for
the cruelty Of seven years was sealed.
1t must have been a somewhat
strange feeling for him, a feeling
strange from its freshness and yet
haunting sense Of perfect familiarity,
to be sitting here in this same little,
low raftered parlor-the same picture
before him on the wall. the same china
bowl upon the shelf, the same volup-
tuous sweetness from the o~verhanginG
tea roses without-ail just as it had
been seven years ago, when he used to

Honevmoon Trips to A void.

There are two pieces Of advice ia
like to give about honeymoons," sald
the man who has had two OF Them.
"One of them is, never go on a long
sea voyage with your new wife. The
other is. never take a long automobile
trip with her. l've tried both, ana
both have been miserable failures. L
would not be guilty Of such an un-
chivalrous comment had both Of my
wives not agreed with me in both III
stances.
Just think of having knocked down
NIL the barriers of conventlonality
which practically shielded you during
the courtship to find yourself for eight
or ten days in such close companion
ship with your better half as is offered
on an automobile honeymoon! It's aw-
full to think of it.
when l was on my last honeymoon,
which was the automobile one, VIC
were only three days on the road when
l was reminded Of the man who turned
to his Wife during their honeymoon
and said: Don't you wish some friend
wolld come along?' oh, yes, DEAR
she sighed, or an enemy even.''-

Three Ways Of Answering Prayer.

Inree ways OF AntW6E1ng FTay0rs
Henry Drummond gave us a beau
tful illustration Of the methods where
by prayer is answered:
A large, splendidly equipped steam
ship sailed from Liverpool for New
York. Among the passengers were a
little boy and girl, who were playing
about the deck when the boy lost his
ball overheard. He immediately ran
to the captain and shouted: stop the
ship; my ball is overboard!"
The captain smiled pleasantly, but
said, ooh, no, my boy! I cannot stop
ne ship, with all these people, just to
get a rubber ball"
The-boy went away grumbling, and
conided to'the little girl that the cap
tain didn't stop the ship because he
couldn't. He believed the ship was
wound up some way in Liverpool, and
she just had to rum. day and night, IN
til she ran down.
A day or two afterward the children
were playing OF deck again, when the
little girl dropped her doll down into
the engine room and she supposed it,
too, had gone overheard. She said,
II will run and ask the captain to stop
the ship and get my dolly"
"It's no USE" said the boy; "he can
not do anything. I've tried him."
But the little girl ran on to the cap
tain with her story and appeal.
The captain came and peeked down
into the engine room, and, seeing the
doll, said, Just wait here a minute"
And while the ship went right on, he
ran down the stairway and brought
up the little girls doll, to her delight
and to the boys amazement.
The next day the cry rang out, Mar
o~yerboardw and Immediately the bell
rang in the 'engine-room. The great
ship stood still until boats were low.
cred and the life rescued. Then she
steamed on until she reached the wharf
. in New York. AS 500 as she was tied
the captain went up town and bought
the boy a better ball than the one be
had lost.
Now, each of the three prayers was
answered. The little girl received her
request without stopping the ship; the
little boy by a little waiting received
his also; and yet for sufficient reason
the ship was stopped by q part Of the
machinery itself, not as an after
thought, but something put into the
ship when it was made.-Pacifc Bap-

DEFIES TIME
A Liquid, Newly Discovered, That is a
True Preservative.

True Preservative.
The Hungarian chemist BruDn says
he has discovered a liquid chemical
compound which renders. certain kinds
of matter proof against the effects Of
time. He asserts that it doubles the
density of nearly every kind of stone
and renders it waterproof. 1t imparts
to all metals qualities which defy oxy-
gen and rust. 1t is also a germicide OF
hitherto unequaled powers.
The professor says that while traV-
cling in Greece ONE twenty-five years
ago he noticed that the mortar in
stones of ruins which were known to
be over 1000 years old was, as hard,
fresh and tenacious as if it had been
made only a year. He secured a piece
of the mortar and has been working
on it we since until now, when, he
says, he has discovered the secret.
The compound is a yellow liquid,
which the professor has christened
zorene. He describes the following
experiments: A piece Of ordinary and
easily breakable Stag after immersion
in zorene defed the full blow of a ham
mer.
There was the same effect on ordi-
airy bricks and a block of red jareah

Professor Brunn asserts that he wills
be able to make roads dust, germ and
waterproof, thus giving commercial
value to hundreds of millions Of tons
Of Stag which is now useless in the
mining and smelling districts. His
discovery will, at the very least, he
says, double the life Of metals exposed

vessels and tanks.-Brooklyn Eagle.

~Tne Lifter-Up of NV Head"

1 like that expression, "Lifter-up OF
my head" I know it means to restore
to honor; but it means this also: There
is your child, my good mother, and your
child has been bad, and you have
chastised him. You have put the poor
little bundle of wretchedness and
crossness into a corner, and there it is
standing, soiling all its face with hot
and scalding tears. Then your heart
relents; the extreme Of misery tells
upon you, for you are its mother and
blood is thicker than water. And you
come toward the little thing, and, as
you come nearer and nearer, the
farther it creeps in the corner, and the
lower it hangs it's head. And what do
you do? Instead Of chastisi1g it any
more, you come quite close, and with
one hand on the little ones shoulder,
you put the other hand below its chin,
and literally you lift up the little face
into the light Of your own and stoop
down to kiss it.

God wants to do With the poor weary
sinner who mas gone back and done

The Onlv Solution.

A large brewing company of Col
chester, England, claims to have solved
the temperance question. The solution
is very simple, it says. 1t is n drink
without food" To prove the theory,
the company is trying the experiment
of combining the ordinary public
house with a good eating-house. The
result Of the first weeks working was
that it was able to report a profit Of
&c per cent. and a complete absence
of drunkenness. This method may
be profitable but cannot be considered
q success as a temperance measure.

lem is no saloon. ,
