said. Was not her husbands success

with light hearta Mrs. Nichols could
only paint between the intervals OF
caring for her children, but she went
at the work with light heart, hoping
against hope for success.
FIND HAPPINESS
IN COOPERATION.
Up to this time not a cloud had
marred their domestic sky. They were
happy, with the careless happiness Of
children. Their art was q joy-a play
to them.
And SO they played together until
the paintings were finished. In order
to insure separate consideration they
were packed and shipped in separate
boxes to the Paris Salon, where sit
the worlds arbiters in art.
In due time Mrs. Rhoda Holmes and
Mr.. Burr Nichols received their re-
spective verdicts.
For Mrs. Rhoda Holmes it was:
Painting accepted and given honor
able mention"
For Mr.. Burr Nichols 1t was: Paint
ing judged unworthy; hereby re-
turned"
Here fell the shadow, II we are to
believe those who sympathize with
Mrs. Nichols. Here entered the note
of discord. Here was the parting of
the ways whereby two souls became
estranged, through the life Of earth
and the eternity of heaven.
Although the shadow was in his
heart, the husband spoke bravely OF
the future. Let US try it again, he
said; I'VE may both win next time"
And SO they went to work for Sec
ond trial. Side by side they painted
as before. But now there stood a
ghost between them-the impalpable
shadow Of jealousy and discomfort.
The wife, perceiving this, grieved
much over it. The husband, imagining
things that were not, grew gloomy
and taciturn.

THE STORY.

THE STORY.
NJ EARLY 20 years had passed since
IN that fateful day when Israel had
turned away from the Lord and had
refused to go and possess the land.
Those had been years Of wandering
and weary struggle in the wilderness.
whittier God had driven them as pun
ishment for their sin, but up to the
time of our story there had been no
direct or well-d efined opposition
against Moses and Aaron in their
leadership and their ministry before
the people.
The first intimation which had come
that there was trouble brewing was
when one Of Moses faithful servants
had brought the tidings that Korah
had ceased his allotted ministry in
the temple service and was leading
others into a similar neglect of duty.
Some time previous to this 1t had
become necessary for Moses to re-
move him as prince over the Koha-
thites, who had been assigned the
special care of the furniture OF the
tabernacle during the march, and to
appoint in his stead younger broth
er, the fourth son Of K0rah.
Eleazar, chief over the princes Of
the house of Levi, who had been set
apart for the special ministry In the
tabernacle service, had long been con-
scious of the feeling OF Korah towards
Moses, and had demonstrated with
him.
.Has not God said that the first
born Of each household shall be holy
unto him, and set apart for the priest
hood, and has not Moses presumed to
set aside this order?" he demanded.
ut is not alone who has reason
to resent Moses arbitrary rulings, and
it is for the sake Of every son Of
Abraham that we should protest"
Nothing more had been said, and
Eleazar had concluded az the months
rolled by and Korah took no further
steps In opposing Moses that he had
dropped the matter, but secretly he
was at work sowing his seeds OF dis
cord and winning following, and
suddenly one day when Korah deemed
the time ripe, he withdrew with his
followers.
Quickly 1t became noised through
out the camp Of Israel what Korah
had done, that he refused longer to
serve In the place Moses had as-

sERMoNETTE.
"Seemeth It but a small thing
unto you, that the God OF L.
raei hath separated you from the
congregation Of Israel, to bring
you near to himself to do the
service Of the tabernacle Of the
Lord, and to stand before the
congregation to minister unto
them? And he hath brought thee
near to him, and all thy brethren
the sons Of Levi with thee. And
seek ye the priesthood also?"
This ninth verse brings be-
fore US two thoughts Of deep
significance to the Christian
worker Of to-day.
First. The dignity and honor
Of any service to which God may
call.
= Second. The wicked presump-
tion Of coveting the seemingly
higher places in Gods service.
Let us consider the first e.
pecialIy. How glorious Is the
thought Of the completeness
with which God has ordered the
affairs Of his kingdom, 50 that
there is a place for every soul,
a duty for each to discharge, a
share In the Fellowship and bIess-
ing Of the Lord, and right in
the end to hear him say: "WeIl
done, good and faithful servant.
Enter into the Joy Of thy Lord"
Never does the question arise
az to whether the servant has
wrought In place Of high or low
degree, but as to how faithful
he has served in the place as
signed. Never does he ask how
much, but how well. The cup
Of cold water given in the name
Of the master, receives as high
commentator az would the one
who had ministered a kingdom
in the same name. There 10
honor at the Lords hands for
the one who serves in lowly, OBJ
scure places az we'll az the one
to whom greater talents have
been given and serves In the
place Of distinction and honor.
The head cannot say to the foot,
the body hath no need Of thee,
neither can the foot say to the
head, thou art nothing to me;
! will not serve with thee. Each
has his place to fiII. Happy that ,
Christian who has learned that
it is no small thing that the Lord (
hath separated him to bring him
near to himself and to do serv-
ice in his kingdom. II korah
had remembered that It was {
God, not Moses, he was serving, !.
he might have escaped the aw. :

Seeing this, the children were silent
and miserable.
But the last straw came when Mrs.
Nichols picture, her famous Scarlet
Letter" received encomiums on both
sides of the Atlantic. The husband
had never done anything like it.
After year of trouble the couple
separated, the husband going away
and the wife remaining to work out
her own career.
Thereafter her existence was peace
full, II lonely. There.w but one easel
now, and one painter. There was but
one ambition, and that was the sup
port and education of her children.
Art for arts sake was no more. Love
for loves sake was farce.
The woman continued to work
bravely. She could have gone to
France or Italy, where her young artist
days were passed, but she preferred to
remain in this country and educate her
children. She took studio at East
Gloucester. Mass.
MUTUAL HAPPINESS
IN cHiLDREN's LOVE.
For eight years Rhoda Holmes Mich
OILS has never ceased to struggle. She
has earned q fair competence and has
led q retired life, but gradually she is
learning to be happy again-happy in
the love Of her children, which knows
no distrust or Jealousy.
The. other day the curtain fell on
the last act in this strange marital
drama.
Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols received
a decree of absolute divorce, carrying
with It the legal custody of the chill
dren, and authority to resume her
maiden name. @
Incompatibility was the cause given,
but the divorce papers are sealed.
Mrs. Rhoda Holmes is still young
and much of life is yet before her.
But it is doubtful if she will ever again
regard love as anything but a mirage
of the youthful brain, an unsubstantial
dream, the flesh tints laid upon the
bones of an awful skeleton.
But the experience Of Mrs. Holmes
is not singular. So long as mans na>
ture remains unchanged, just SO loHg
will he demand the leadership of The
family, both mentally and physically.
The spiritual crown he accorf!s to
woman without question.
Moral: Do not beat your bAsband
at anything he may undertake.

They came accordingly and settled
down in the studio quarter in New

career, disposing Of their pictures as
fast as they could paint them. They
were happier than most married peo-
pie. They made friendly criticisms Of
each others work, adopted each 9th
er's suggestions, were forbearing and
forgiving, as men and wives should be.
In 1897 Mr.. Nichols began a picture

her own children, and her own lonely

SIXTEEN KILLED IN WRECK
Storm Causes Bad Rail Disaster
Scotland,

Dundee, Scotland. Dec. 29.-In a rail-
road collision, caused Indirectly by the
heavy snow storm of the last few days,
sixteen persons have been killed ard
over thirty injured. The accident oc-
Cured near Arbroath, on the North
British railroad, between Edinburgh
and Aberdeen, and some distance north
OF here. Among the persons injured is
alexander William Black. member Of
the house of commons from Banffshire
Scotland.
The accident is attributed to the
heavy fall of snow, owing to which
trains from London for Aberdeen were
held up at Arbroath. During the aft
ernoon however, the line was cleared,
and one train proceeded for Dundee.
It had stopped at Elliot junction. and
the danger signals were thought to
have been set. They failed to act,
however, thru being clogged with snow
or from some other cause not vet as
certained and the express train dashed
into the rear of the waiting train.
Mr.. Blacks legs were broken. A
number of others sustained serious
injuries, and it is feared that some Of
them will succumb.
Telegrapfic communication between
here and Arbroath is unsatisfactory be-
cause Of the weather conditions and
details Of the accident are coming thru
