The last iistorical lesson was about
the great rot in Ephcsus. Paul saw
the time had come for him To move on.

mined to return 10 Syria, and would
have sailed but Tor hostile Jews who
laid in wait to kill him as he was en-
barking. He went by land nor,hward,
and having reached Philippi sailed
thence To TrnaS. Several Christian
disciples accompanied him From
Troas they came after several stops TO
MilctuS. city on the southwest coast
OF Asia Minor. 1t this point the part
OF the chapter appointed ior study be-
gins. One 81 the "Farcwcls' was at
Troas. where young man fell down
from the third lott 81 n house and was
taken up ior dead. Verse 10 states
that Paul assured them that the lad
was alive. He revived under Pauls
embrace. aud they were all comiorted.
THE LESSON.

Ephcsus might mean disaster to the
church and trouble for men and women
whom he loved. So he sent messengers
To Ephcsus to summon the elders OF
the church Ia what was To- he his last
interview with them.

A MOVING PICTURE PLOT.

go through the rehearsal of the
thrilling drama entitled Winning
Bride" which he expected to
make tremendous hit in moving
pictures.
That's pretty neat, eh?" he
querried of his pretty niece, Mar
garet Clark, who was standing be-
side him. 81 don't believe Albert
Liebler himself could think up a
better plot"
He was watching the girl closely
as he mentioned Liebler's name,
and he saw her start and the color

The girl said nothing, but walked
quickly away. Ridges grunted.

noon," he cried to his foreman.
In the afternoon Ridges was at
his vantage point nthe roof Of

While the actors were preparing
for the second scene, Ridges walk
ed to the edge of the roof and look
ed at the fire escape, a short dis
lance from him, down which the
lovers were to make their escape
in the second act. He noted that
the cameras on the street were
placed properly for the picture,
and then he turned back again to
the roof. The actors were already
preparing to make the descent and
he waved his hand vigorously at
the men below to let them know
it was time 20 get busy.
Again he turned back and glanc-
ed at the actors. He rubbed his
eyes. The girl vas his niece and

fire escape he climbed, as fast as
his heavy weight would allow him.
He did not for a moment stop to
think that he was playing the very
part he had cast for The father of
the girl in the plot, nor did he stop
to wonder where was the actor
who was to play the father.
When Ridges arrived at the bot
tom, however, he was too late. The
couple had disappeared. and SO had
the camera and the men who were
taking the picture. He looked
around dazedly. Then, rushing
from the building, pell nell, came
his actors and picture men.
"They grabbed us and locked us
up" the actors and men cried.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con
 sumption.

If people could only understand that catarrh Is an internal scrofula- that nothing applied externally does much good they would not need to be warned so often about this fatal dis ease, which, when neglected, inyar- iably ends up in consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year Yet catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment is employed.
 Catarrh Is caused by germs in the blood which circulate throughout the entire system. External remedies give bat temporary ease, Although the effects are often seen i'll the form of plmples, rash, eczema or dry scaly sNin. the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies
 The only way To cure catarrh is by employing a medicine which iS ab- sorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system so that the mu- couS membrane or internal lining of the body k thoroughly medicated dlslnfected of germ matter and the soreness healed.
 We have q remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician, who for thirty wears studied and made ca tarth speciality, and whose record of success was q cure i'll every case where his treatment was followed as pre- seribed. That remedy is RexaH Mucu-TOne. We are so positive that 1t will cure catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that We promise to return every penny paid Us for the medicine in every case where 1t fails to cure or for any req son does not satisfy the user.
 We want you to try ReXall Mucu- Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-TOne on our guarantee. We have ReXall Mucu-Tone in two sizes The prices are soc and sl. Very often the soc size effects cure. Of course, in chronic cases longer treatment k necessary. The average in such in stances is three sl bottles.
