How to Tell the Grizzlies.

Donald's description of the per
forming bear that he had seen down
the street grew perceptibly more pic
turesque when 1t developed that no
other member of the family had seen
the animal, and enlarged from just
a plain bear into monstrous grizzly.
Skeptical Dorothy, from her superior
eight years, questioning some of his
details, even demanded proof that 1t
was grizzly at all. The convincing
reioinder was forthcoming that while
he had been standing right across
the street from the bear he had dis

CHAPTER XVI.

The. unexpected and sensational
manner in which the visit Of Joe
Wright to Judge Gilberts Office was
terminated was not without effect
upon every one in the room. Pity for
Gloria was the dominating emotion,
for everyone present realized her I'M
happy position. The dramatic revela-
tion of her love affair, the knowledge
that she had been sacrificed, stirred
every heart. Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs.
Hayes, not we'll versed in politics, har-
bored no slight resentment against the
publisher of the News, since they re-
garded the article as too severe. Were
not their husbands interested on the
same side as David Kerr? And they
were honest men. But their husbands
knew the full measure of the bitter
cup that both the boss and his daugh-

ria away from the office. For several
days she had been staying with Mrs.
Hayes, and thither she was now taken.
BY Dr. Hayes order she was put at
once to bed, and under the influence
of an opiate, she was soon asleep.
DIR. Hayes came downstairs and an
nounced to Kerr, who was savagely
pacing back and forth in the drawing
room, that his daughter was suffering
from a great nervous shock. He also
said that she would probably sleep for
several hours.

want me you can git me by telephone

club rooms"
Even if she asks for you" said the
doctor, 81 think 1t best for you to stay
away until her nerves are quieter."
AS there was nothing further the
two men could do, they walked down
town together, leaving Mrs. Hayes to
watch over Gloria.
II was nine o'clock before the girl
opened her eyes. DIR. Hayes had been
home to dinner and then gone out
again. His wife was sitting in Gloria's
room reading by light which was
carefully shaded so as not to annoy
the sleeper. She had turned several

her patient was now fully awake be-

(1) The first question. This lawyer
in his test question implied that eter-
nal life was dependent upon his
works, a we'll nigh universal Jewish
idea. With a true teachers skill.
Jesus drew from his own knowledge
Of the law an answer to his question,
viz: that, on the ground of doing he
must love the Father with an undi-
vided heart; with all his soul, the
seat of his emotions; with all his
strength and with all his
mind-his intellectual powers. The
evidence of such a love Is that he
must love his neighbor as himself.
This is staggering program, and we
believe the lawyer asked his second
question because he was dazed when
he, perhaps for the first time, really
comprehended this wonderful sum-
mary of the law. Jesus, however,
holds him infexibly to his own idea
of works. and replies: This do and
thou shalt live" Small wonder that
Paul, comprehending the human i'm
possibility of such a program, should
rejoice in knowing one who was equal
to the task, Rom. S:3. Jesus met the
lawyer on the same plane he had been
approached and directly answers the
query of verse 25.
