We said nothing. for iust then he
reached for another chair. This time,
however, he was not bent on destruc-
ton, for he merely detached a dark
object hanging on its back For the
second time Gabrielle clutched my un-
fortunate arm, which was quite bruised
with her attentions.

new shopping bag. l left 1t hanging
on my chair-and he's opening it.!
Oh, the wretch"
The wretch" proceeded to investi.
gate the contents of the bag, and
carefully examined each article as he
drew 1t forth. First a pair OF gloves,
and then a handkerchief, which he
held critically to his nose after scru-
tinizing the monogram.
Il hope he likes IT," calculated
Gabrielle, in an indignant whisper.

Finding the moonlight not bright
enough for his purpose, he moved
nearer the cabin window, happening
as he did so to glance behind him
Springing to his feet, he lifted his
cap and advanced towards US, bag in

and fed. 1t was best to take nc
chances within reach of his hands. We
had no desire to follow the chairs over
the railing.

THE PERFECTLY POISED MIND

People who would attain exquisite
mental poise must dive between the
whitecaps and the waves on the sur
face of thought, down into the depths
of their beings, where there is eternal
calm which no mental tempest can
disturb.
A perfectly poised mind must be in
frequent communication with the d.
vine. Dwelling upon human qualities
will never bring that perfect mental
balance, that divine serenity, which
makes mere physical beauty unattrac-
tive in comparison.
There Is sweetness, a ripeness, a
divine something about a serene mind
which eludes analysis, but which we
all feel. No wealth can compare with
the benign. satisfying influence which
radiates from an exQuisitely poised
personality.
Smoe Of our best observatories are
built upon mountain tops. SO that the

So he gathered his neighbors, ant
with the company Of those who ha'

doing enough You are but ore man
God cares for the world"
But through US. Ah-now l I'M
1erstand. The talent he entrusted
to me! The gift of song-I will lift
up my voice by the wayside!"
Then the man left the woman weed
ing their garden and stood without the
gate, and as he lifted up his voice in
song, those who passed by stopped to
listen, whispering one to the other:
What manner Of man is this, and
what is the burden OF his song?"
DO you not hear the message? ?"
The woman lifted her head a moment
and spoke to those who gathered
around the singer. He sings of the
pain of the world
Yes. we hear" answered the toll
ers. This is he who brought us wa
ter at monday" and one who was
of the singer.
He is from the Master-the song is
for us-he understands,
And from that time many Of those
who came to listen to the song dwelt
with the singer. She who labored in
the garden-plot ministered unto all.
Then it was that sudden inspira-
ton came to the man. He saw him
self as in vision gathering the army
of the desolate and going upon a great
pilgrimage. Banded thus, they would
be strong to carry the message of de-
liverance to those who suffered in 9TH
err lands.
Thereupon early and late the man
sang by the wayside and a great light
shone in his eyes as the company of
those who we're to fare forth with him
grew into mighty throng.
But you are destroying yourself
the woman pleaded; you are worn
to shadow-you never sleep. 1t is
too great price to pay, beloved. God
does not ask so much from one man.
You cannot carry the whole world.
Think of YOURSELF"
"Afterward." he answered steadfast-
ly, afterwards l will rest"
The woman's eye wandered sorrow
fully over their little plot Of ground
which all her efforts could scarcely
keep clear Of encroaching weeds.
Beloved" she faltered, I'VE are q
part of the rest-you and l."
Il am a child of God" He glanced
where the road wound toward the sum
set. II must fare forth"
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1909-07-20

He was so very sorry for every
body's troubles that he walked
through his own little plot of ground
unseeing. When he found his neigh
bors' fences badly in need of repair
their gardens overgrown with weeds,
their children neglected, he was sure
the good folk did not know the right
way, and he felt within himself the
power to help them toward better
things.
So keenly alive had the man be-
come to the ignorance, the misfortune,
on all sides, that he could scarcely al
low himself moment of rest The
haunting consciousness of the pain Of
the world rose between his eye and
the pages Of his book. He saw 1t in
the flowing stream-felt it in the sun
light-listened for its insistent re-
minder In every strain OF music. The
realization of the suffering of the
many gripped his very soul and would
not loose its hold
How dared he let himself 20 even
into slumber, when perhaps a pro-
jected thought of his might tighten the
load?
At break of day he knocked on his
neighbours door, at noon he carried
food and water to those who toiled
In the fields. The sick, the aged, the
stricken, watched for his ministra-
tons; but still the knowledge of 9TH
ers' misery robbed the man of peace
There must be something more
that | can do" He spoke restlessly to
her who dwelt ever by his side; and
the woman with ready sympathy
glanced up from wedding their own
garden-plot.
Surely not, beloved; surely you are

In order to shut out the din, the ter

lin order to shut out the thousand and
