Wonderful Things.
Keep a watch on your words, my chill.
dren
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet. like the bees fresh
honey,
Like bees. they have terrible stings.
They can bless like the warm, glad
sunshine,
And brighten the lonely life;
They can cut in the strife Of anger
Like an open twoedged knife.
Let them pass through your lips un-
challenged
II their errand be true and kind
II they come to support the weary,
To comfort and help the blind:
If bitter revengeful spirit
Prompt the words, let them be un-
said,
They may flash through the brain like
lightning
Or fall on the heart like lead.
Keep them back, if they're cold AMI
cruel,
Under bar and lock, and seal;
The wounds they make. my children,
Are always slow to heal.
May Christ guard your lips and ever.
From the time of your early youth,
May the words that you daily utter
Be the words of the beautiful truth.

CHAPTER xxx.
AMI CURTIS.

At sight of the hermit Martin quick.
ly stepped into hiding behind the tree
motioning old Cy to do the same. This
strange recIuse was not a dangerous
beast, and yet SO momentous was the
question OF approaching him, and
whether or not he would admit himself
to be AMI, that Martin hesitated.
"You go first, Cy," he said in low
tone after thinking for moment
land I'll keep out of sight. Just walk
up to him naturally and say, 'Hullo
Amzi.' or accost him as you were ac-
customed TO- and if you take him una
wares, the chances are he will admit
that he knows you.'
The critical moment had coma
Twenty years had been bridged.
For a minute that seemed an hour
the two looked at each other. Then
the hermit rose, and for another-ta
Martin-brcathless moment faced OLD
Cy, mOtionless.
Now old Cy took step forward, both
hands extended, the hermit raised his.
their hands met, then up and down
again and again in hearty shake OF
old friendship.
The suspense was over and the long.
missing AMI found.
And now Martin, keeping out Of
sight, returned to his camp content
to leave the two old friends by them.
selves, and while he waited he drew
from small handbag a flat package
and opened it. It contained two met
ures of Angie, one as girl of 16 with
hair in curls, the other a maturer face,
sweet, yet dignified.
"Well, little GIRL" he almost whis-
pered. glancing from one face to the
other, 1--WE found your father, but Cot
only knows what we can do with him
or how 1t will affect you"
For half hour he sat in the mellow
autumn sunshine, a. If in a trance, ana
then came a rustling in the uuder-
growth and old Cy appeared.
"Well," said Martin. anxiously, u
he sane and all right?"

on the ground, AMI u tansie of weees
covered the plo,
There's one thing we kin do, any
how" said old Cy, when the examina-
ton was ended, I'VE kin lay low round
mere n watch them ossifers git
fooled"
1t is needless to say that his tub-
bling sense of humor was consoling
to Martin Just now, and the two re-
turned to the landing, where a con-
sultation was held. 1t ended in deci-
sion to cross the lake, ascend a tribu-
tary stream, and, hiding the canoes,
return through the woods, and, as old
Cy said, Lay low" This was carried
out, and, an hour later. Levi stationed
at the landing as an outer guard, while
the rest found good hiding-places.
They had another hours wait, and
then Levi Joined them with the infor-
nation that the expected visitors we're
just crossing the lake.
It was not really courteous conduct
on Martins part to thus play the spy,
but somehow he felt unkindly toward
these minions of the law who doubted
his word, and when they approached
the cabin, was willing to listen.
"Guess the bird has flown" said the
leader. as he halted before the hut and
glanced at the little bank of leaves
Then, pushing the door in, he looked
long, turned about, and added, II Won
der where these fellows are who gave
us the slip?"
i've notion we may have passed
'em below here" responded his COM
panion, land they'll show up later"
Then they ransaclied the garden, re-
turned and entered the cabin, and
made more complete examination
Hes been hiding here Il good long
time" asserted the leader, appearing
again and glancing at the vines almost
covering the hut. This shack's been
built all of ten years or more"

In astonishment, as squirrel suddenly
appeared from behind the cabin, ran
up to him. halted. and the next instant
was on his shoulder. Here, you var
mint, git off" he added, striking at the
pretty creature. who leaped to the
ground chaltcring.
Then the two men looked at one an
other, for that frisking squirrels cen
duct was revelation.
''I'm not just sure it's McGuire's hid

"Nor either" responded the other.

Angel Voices.

Angel Voices.
My weary heart was breaking,
Its pain but God could know!
Life seemed a drear and starless night
OF thankless toll and woe.
When. hush! sweet angel voices!
Dear one, griefs pass away,
But that great Heart that counts thy
pangs.
It's love doth last for aye!"
Down on my SOULS wild tumult fell
A calm that was Divine,
The Heart Of Gods dear Son was
near.
No more I could repine-
And clearer sang the angels,
"Life's sorrows pass away,
But He who loved thee more than
life,
His Kingdom lasts for aye!"
NOW when life's storms rage DER me
I know their strife shall cease.
The blue Of Heaven breaketh through.
And Gods gold light of Peace!
And nearer sing the angels,
Life's trials pass away,
But that great Heart that knoweth all,
Its love will last for aye!"

tears,
And yet the fitful smiles of love that

Who loved their dark-eyed Rosaleen
and prided in her ancient glory
Whose spirits speak from out thy

for Freedoms day.

A DESERTED CABIN.

For few moments Martin stood
looking into that deserted hut, at the
narrow bunk on one side, the shelf
like table with it's few dishes washed
clean and piled together, the twn rude
stools, tiny stove, pots and pans Then
he turned to old Cy.
"Our night paddle was useless" he
said in detected tone, "the hermit's
gone"
And absent he had been for many
weeks, as their obscrvant eyes soon
saw. Not only had the falling leaves
drifted up against the door since last
closed, but tiny shoots of grass had
grown in the pathway and the garden
had been left undisturbed since mid
summer. 1t was here that the long
continued absence of its owner was
most in evidence. The ripened ears
Of corn had been picked clean by crows
and squirrels. bean pods lay rottius

or I'm no guesser; and Mcclure want
the chap to tame squirrels that way
Then he glanced at the sun, now we'll
down, and added. I'VE might rs we'll
camp here tonight and save trouble
besides there's Eaters and onions in the
garden"
When the two had returned to their
canoe, Martin softly whistled TO his
companions, and they also vanished
into the woods to hold a consultation
when secure from discovery.
"Wal," said old Cy, chuckling,
they've skinned us out o. a good
camping spot n now what's to be
done?"
1t was a poser. and Martin, seating
himself on fallen tree trunk, stroked
his chin and reflected.
They'll light out in the morning, ("
he said at last, land until then are
welcome to the hut. I've no use for
them. Think of brute in the shape
of a man who would knock harmless
squirrel of his shoulder!"
It'll be dark fore we know IT," az
serted old Cy, glancing into the shad-
Owy forest, en- it's good spell back
to the canoes. Mebbc we better push
on"
And push on they did, back to the
concealed canoes. and camp for the
night. And later around the camp
fire consultation was held in earnest
eve are here to find that hermit" as
serted Martin, after all surmises as to
his whereabouts had been exhausted,
"and hunt for him we will until snow
files"
"Amzi used to have the same trick
O wanderin' off fer days." responded
old Cy, unpointedly, on he'll be back
here bime by"
Martin smiled the first time in hours.
you seem sure it's AmZi," he said,
grateful for the assurance.
"Sartin do. m more'n that, he amt
dead ez callate your thinkin'; I'd feel
It If he was.''
The campfire conference terminated
carly, for the loss of sleep was felt by
all. and when. late the next morning,
Martin crcpt out Of the tent, Levi and
one canoe were missing while Jean
was busy cooking breakfast.
1t was eaten, and Martin was getting
uneasy at Lewis prolonged absence
when he appeared.
They've gone, bag and baggage"
he asserted with elation, Il watched
till I see 'em shove off m leave the
lake."
But this did not solve the problem
of where the hermit was, and Marti:,
was as nonplused as ever. Immediate
danger to him was removed for the
present, but where was the hermit?
They were in the midst of wilderness
hundreds of miles in extent and trav-
ersed by streams running toward every
point Of the compass. To go in search
of this strange recluse was sure to be
like hunting for the proverbial needle
and Martin realized it.
"There is but one thing to do" he
said at last In Respondent tone, land
that is, stay around here with the hope
that he may return. He has evidently
been away from his hut many weeks.
and therefore all the more likely to
be back SOON" Then, turning to old
Cy. he added jokingly, How would
you like to 60 hunting for the wild
man we found up the Moosehorn. just
to kill time? There is another and
more mysterious log cabin up that way
that would be interesting"
