am child Of the stars, and to me they
reveal all their secrets"
"Where do you live?"
"The woods is my home. I 20 up
and down, here, there and everywhere
1 eat and sleep wherever happen to
be. May mission on earth is to do good
to others-to advise and warn poor
weak humanity, and humanity must
support me-"
'Do people believe your words and
heed your warnings?''
"They generally believe when It's too
late to heed. But l must do my duty
whether people profit by it or not. And
now. once more, let me beg you t.. turn
back"
Frank Stone slowly shook his head.
II thank you for your interest in me-"
he said, "but cannot turn back. Like
the rest of humanity, I shall have to
learn the wisdom of your words by ex-
perience."
"And then 1t will be too late"
Il presume so. We generally accept
advice when it is too late to do us any
good"
THAT is the way Of the world. But
like you, and l want to shield and
save you, so once again I beg you to
turn back"
''1'm sorry to have to disappoint you,
but think would better go on"
Don't do it. for as sure as you pass
h0f wi ,iSpHk
surely live to bitterly regret it."
"But l have duty to perform and
promise to keep. must not forget
that"
Better to shirk duty than to lose
all in discharging it. Better to break
promise than to pay dearly for keep
ing It, If you could see all that Is
| before you there, as I see it, no duty
and no promise would keep you from
turning back"
"Why, do you see anything so very
terrible thereY'
"Have I not told you that see the
destruction of your peace and happi-
ness. and have I not said that I see
death?"
Eyes. I remember that. But you
have not told me what is to happen
to bring all these things about
ut would be useless to tell. You
would not believe If did"
perhaps might. Who knows?'
81 know you would not. It is writ
ten plainly in your face"
"Then you will tell me nothing
more?'
''No. It would be only a waste Of
breath"
"You spoke Of death, but you say
it is not mine?''
"That is true"
"Then whose shall 1t be?"
"a mans. l see his face and rec
ognize him. l tremble for him-and
for YOU"
"What have I to do with it?''
"Much. Very much"
"Surely YOU do not mean to imply
that shall kill him?''
mo, it will not be so bad as that.
But Indirectly and unconsciously you
will be the cause Of his DEATH"
"How?'
"Do you want to know?"
Eyes"
"Will YOU believe me If tell you?"
II don't know. Perhaps l may. How
can tell until hear what you have
to say?'
"Then you will never tell, for shall
say nothing"
"Why?"
Because you would not believe"
"Will you tell me the name Of the
man who is to lose his life?"
"No."
''Do I know him?'
mo"
"Have I ever seen him?"
"No."
"Does he know me, or has he ever
seen me?"
"He does not know you"
"Then he IS not my enemy?"
mot now. But a day may make a
friend or it may make an enemy"
"Have I any enemies where l am
going?"
"No. but you will find there that
which Is worse, that which will prove
far more dangerous to your peace and
happiness than an enemy would be-"
"What is it?"
"a woman who will learn to love
you and who will win your love-a
woman who Is already wife,
ITO be eontinued.]
Thanksgiving.
Say,
Are you one on the way
To the thank works,
Or are you one who shirks
In the ranks,
Refusing to give thanks
Because you think your treatment
Is not just what the Lord
Should give to one so worthy
