to the wise man, who spoke and said:
Speak thou of many things. So long

Whereupon l returned unto the
maiden and lifted my voice most tune

Thr Life Earnest.

High hearts are never long with
out hearing some new call, some dis
tant clarion of God. even in their
dreams; and soon they are observed
to break up the camp of ease and
start on some fresh march OF faithful
service. And, looking higher still, we
find those who never wait till their
moral work accumulates, and who re-
ward resolution with no rest; with
whom, therefore, the alienation is in
stantaneous and constant; who do the
good only to see the better, and see
the better only to achieve It; who are
too meek for transport, too faithful
for remorse, too earnest for repose;
whose worship is action, and whose
action ceaseless aspiration.-J. Mar

Nowadays PeriIs of Merchants.

The real danger of managing store,
nowadays, is that II will get into a
rut. The merchant who is afraid to
''make a noise :" who breads the day
his bills fall due who is afraid to
"spare money for advertising, who
devotes most of his time to watching
little things, to worrying about tribes
he is in danger,
In effect, he Is trying to found and
build a store on his fears, not on his
aspiration; on misglvlngs, not ON con-
fdence. He forgess that fear is de
stroyer-not a builder that misgiv-
ings will pull down that which conf
dence would build to completion.
1t is dangerous thing to fetter
store with a lot of baseless fears of
what might happen to dread what
might follow the exercise of ordinary
aggresslven aud enterprise. Under
such conditions, the merchants policy
itself Is the very worst calamity that
cou'H happen to the store.
Such a policy places a store In the
position of depending upon location, I"
chances of various kinds and upon
the patronage of those people who do
not read advertising These, however,
are so scarce In this city that If they
all patronizsd one store they could not
support It.
The merchant who advertises ade-
qUately builds upon his hopes, not
upon his fears Confident and aggres-
sive advertising makes store manage
ment business fit for men-men Of
nerve, resource, red blood.

CHAPTER xxxI!.

One day while Aunt Abby and Chip
were enjoying the newly furnished
home of Uncle Jud, a capacious car
riage drawn by a handsome pair OF
horses halted there and Martin and
Angie alighted.
I'VE are taking cross-country drive
for an outing" he explained, after An

for you. He has now gone into the

How welcome this news was to
Chip, her face fully Indicated but
neither Martin nor Angie realized how
much or for what reason it interested
this soft-voiced, gracious lady whom
Chip called Aunt Abby. They knew
Uncle Jud was Old Cy's brother and
that they had once been sailors from
Bayport, but the long-ago romance OF
Aunt Abby's life was unknown tc
them.
And now ensued a welcome to the
callers such as only Uncle Jud and
Aunt Mandy could offer.

That evening was one long to be re-

Chips history, as told by Martin and
Angie, was the entertaining topic, and
it's humorous side was made the most
of by Martin. Chip was in no wise an

Instead, conscious of the goodwill and
affection of the friends who had res

rather enjoyed it and laughed heartily
