IN L0NING REMEMBRANCE.

| Of my beloved pupil, Matte
Davis, whom the all wise Father
saw fit to remove rom the walks
of earth on July the 18th.
| Five years ago [ knew her first,
a modest sunny tempered child.
In my daily intercourse with her
[ found her a careful obedient
student.
She was gentle in her demean-
or toward her companions and
won their love and esteem in all
things. Even the wayward boys
called her 'the best child in
school" and were up in arms if
anyone dared to impose upon her.
In my six years experience L
never found u pupil who gave
more cheerful obedience than this
gentle child.
The human in me cries out, ut
is hard TO see that beloved form
so Still and cold; those lips that
met mine with feverent kisses
mute and unr sponsive! Why
could not she have been spared
yet little longer?" But | know
His ways are just and He had
need Of her.
A lovely bud that gave prom
ise.of a fairer n)Wer was ira MS
planted into u more congenial at
mosphere TO burst forth u rare
aud beautiful blossom shedding
fragrance upon the zephyrs ol
Pa a lise.
Less than q year had passed
since fond mother and elder
UroLher had answered the Mas
ter's call. How much better lssa
home in Heaven than an earthly
pilgrimage for this motherless
girl. Thus far her life has been
devoid Of sorrow save for the
loss Of these dear ones.
Though we miss her sorely,
would we call her back to battls
with the trials and temptations
of life? Ah no; not for worlds
would we subject those young
to the bruises of the stones and
the wounds of the thorns along
the way-side.
Just another link to draw u
nearer Heaven; just another star
to light our dreary path way.
Though my tears are gently
falling
Like the summer rain,
[ could ne'er recall my darling
To bear earth's grief and pain.
I loved her and was loyed in
return.

Chilcote, shaken and nervous, stood

He sat at the center table surrounded
by cloud of smoke; pipe was be-
tween his lips and the mornings
newspapers lay in a heap beside his
elbow To the student of humanity
his attitude was intensely interesting.
It was the attitude Of man tram
meled by the knowledge of his
strength. Before him as he sat smok-
ing stretched future Of absolute
nothingness and toward this blank fu-
ture one portion OF his consciousness
a struggling and as yet scarcely SEN
tient portion-pushed him inevitably
while another-a vigorous, persistent,
human portion-cried 70 him to pause.
So actual, so c.amorous, was this silent
mental combat that had ragged unceas-

citation that at last in physical response
to it he pushed back his chair
cts too late" he said aloud. I'm a
fool. It's too late"
Then abruptly, astonishingly, as
though in direct response to his spoken
thought, the door opened and Chilcote
walked into the room.
Slowly Loder rose and stared at him.
The feeling he acknowledged to him.
self was anger, but below the anger a
very different sensation ran riotously
strong. And it was in time to this sec
ond feeling, this sudden, lawless JOY,
that his pulses beat as he turned q cold
face on the intruder.
"Well?" he said sternly.
But Chilcote was impervious to stern
ness. He was mentally shaken and dis
tressed, though outwardly irreproacha-
J bic, even to the yiolets in the lapel OF
his coat-the violets that for week
past had been brought each morning
to the door of Loder's rooms by Ewes
maid For one second, as Loder's eyes
rested ON the flowers, sting of ungov-
ernable Jealousy shot through him;
then as suddenly it died away, super
seeded by another feeling-a feeling Of
new, spontaneous joy. Worn by Chill
cote or by himself, the flowers were a
symbol!
"Well?" he said again in gentler
voice.
Chilcote had walked to the table and
laid down his hat. His face was white
and the muscles of his lips twitched
nervously as he drew OFF his gloves.
''Thank heaven, you're here" he said
shortly. "Give me something to drink"
In silence Loder brought out the
whisky and set 1t on the table; then in
stinctively he turned aside. AS plainly
as though he saw the action he men
tally figured Chilcote's furtive glance,
the furtive movement Of his fingers to
his waistcoat pocket, the hasty drop
ping Of the tabloids into the glass.
For an instant the sense of his tacit
connivance came to him sharply; the
next, he flung it from him. The hui
man, inner voice was whispering its
old watchword. The strong man has
no time to waste over his weaker
brother!
When he heard Chilcote lay down his
tumbler he looked back again. well.

keep his voice severe but, try as he
might, he could not quite subdue the
