PITY THE SECRETARY OF WAR
Most Of His Reading Is Selected by
the President.

Something had happened to the
butcher" on a train coming up from
the south to Washington a day or two
ago, and Miss Evelyn Fitzhugh of
Kentucky, the pretty secretary to
Congressman Ben Johnson of that
state, had nothing to read. Just in
front of her could be seen the head
OF an elderly gentleman who seemed
to have found something to read, and
Miss Fitzhugh envied him. She yawn-
ed a few times and had prepared to
take a nap when the elderly gentle
man approached her.
Pardon me, but heard you ask
for the newsboy. Did you want some
thing to read?" he asked courteously.
Miss Fitzhugh waived conventions
and assured him that she did.
well, here are some interesting
books. | have only seven in this load,
but when you have finished them I'll
bring you some more" he said.
Miss Fitzhugh grasped them eagerly
and prepared to revel in works at
least as enticing as five best sellers.
Their red covers with gilt lettering
looked inviting. She read the titles
Statistics of the Cane Crop in the
Philippines. 1909-1910," she read.
Army Register; Manual of Side Arms
Practice" ~
That was enough She was about to
cast them from her when she obser-
we'd her "benefactor" watching her,
and she opened the book which dealt
with Philippine sugar cane and tried
to look interested The elderly passen-
ger seemed satisfied and disappeared.
In little while he came back, and
Miss Fitzhugh grabbed a book again.
'If you have finished those he said
benevolently, "Ill give you some
more
Miss FitZhugh was about to decline
angrily, when she noticed tWlnKle
in the gentleman's eye. She laughed,
and then he laughed, too.
"You don't have to read those" he
said paternally, "but do. How would
you like to be forced to read them?
l thought Id try them on somebody
else so that | could tell the president
what an unreasonable request he made
when he demanded that I read them"
How can the president make you
read them" Miss Fitzhugh asked. Z.

sonal experience to guide him. He be
San to grasp the notion of vast uni
verse, perfectly obedient; and of one
small grain of star-dust-one little
word-for a short period in its
ngelong history, the seat of rebel
lion. He grasped the fact that to
our minds, as they are constituted,
there is something finer in the tri-
umph of the tempted than in the in
nocence OF the unfallen-that the &C.
stacy of rejoicing in heaven over the
return of the prodigal is in essential
harmony with our own thought, tha.
we fight our way back to God amid
the cheers and encouragements of
countless hosts, who cannot share
either cur hardships or our subse-
quent triumph"
81 like that said Vernon. Her
tears were falling freely. But Evelyn
was calm, now. Her mind was look
ing back, as a victorious army upon
hillside may look back, down to
the plain where the enemy was de-
feated.
Il believe it was the book of Job
that helped us more than anything,
she said. I'VE learned how utterly
the author of that book exploded
the old Jewish notion of rewards and
punishments how he showed the
dignity of human suffering, and put
before his reader the whole case for
man. And then, God spoke; and His
Word was not in the least what you
might have expected. He resolved no
difficulties. That is our part. He said

"Ah, it was long, weary road,
full of windings, and places that
looked like turnings back. But we
went along it hand in hand, Cecil
and |. Father Conroy never left off
standing by us. He upheld and COM

nearly nine months. But, before the

Cecil had learned an answer to the
riddle OF life; and what is more, he

tisement of God, he wound never have
found It,"
The vibrating voice ceased. The
room was still for awhile. An early
bee hummed in from the beds of
white alyssum below the window.
Vernon sat on the floor, her arms
round her knees. She heaved big
sigh. The limits of life had widened
out all about her. She looked up at
the beautiful face of Evelyn and
saw that it bore the marks both
of conflict and victory. In her mind
floated the memory of the words.
These are they which come out of
great tribulation." Therefore are
they before the throne of God"

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Way Out.

"All which I took from thee | did

Not for thy harms
But just that thou mightst seek it in
My arms.
All which thy childs mistake
Fancies as lost, | have stored for
thee at home;
Rise, clasp My hand, and come,'
Francis Thompson.
Vernon had slipped to the ground,
shaken through and through with
sympathy. Her head was hidden on
Evelyns knees. Evelyn pushed in her
hands among the curls as though the
contact gave her help as well as
pleasure.
Il need not harrow you by telling
you what more we thought and felt,

that followed are to me too awful

sudden entangling of my heartstrings
with those of man, and the utter
desolation and wreck which were the
result, was to me an outrage-a
thing that j had not deserved and
could not put up with. And the pow

thought, directed this senseless cru
