THE STORY.

TT WAS during the siege Of Samaria
j by the mighty Ben-Hadad, king OF
Syria. For long, long months the city
had been shut within its strong walls
and the famine was pressing sore
upon the people. The scant supply Of
provisions grew less and less and
finally those who had not gold and
silver to buy at exorbitant prices
were unable longer to obtain food,
so that many died.
Awful was the suffering Of the peo-
pie, and dark and terrible were the
deeds which the people crazed by hun
ger were led to commit. 1t was no
uncommon thing to hear Of the eating
Of human flesh, the stronger prevail
ing over the weak and taking life
that the life OF the other might be
sustained. Such was the condition
in the city of Syria, where the king
Of Israel dwelt..
And without the walls Of the city
were four lepers suffering from the
scarcity of food, but missing the aw-
full sights and sounds which those
within the walls had to endure. Now
1t had been that during the early
months Of the siege the friends Of
these leprous outcasts remembered
them and cast food down to them
from the walls. These food supplies
which they had carefully stored and
used as sparingly as possible were
finally exhausted, and then they realized
as never before that they were face
to face with death. They knew they
could not look for further help from
their brethren in the city Of samaria,
and they understood equally well that
the enemy encamped all around the
city would not listen to their cry for
bread.
Thus in their misery they sat wait
ing for death, and while waiting they
talked over their helpless condition.
Surely we have fallen upon evil
days." exclaimed one, dolefully.

not miserable enough there must be

The neighborhood sale, held at an
old homestead, brings out the impor-
lance and the force of the man who
has been thrifty and who has ready
money at command. It Is sad pic
ture-the passing of the farm, the dis
Indignation Of family, the blighting
of thousand memories that cluster
about hearthstone. At such time

looks toward the purchase Of yoke

ready money seems determined the
promissory notes of the modest fall
back into tameness and silence. But
ready money does not care to acquire
everything at a neighborhood sale.

things, and its estimate of the spir-
