What Happened to Jane

she ordered. It's raining harder

monished Augustus. and her mother

A loud crash of thunder almost
drowned her speech and gave the girl
| time to decide on her answer.
Hurry she called back as she
sped up the road. Since you people
are afraid I'll hurt my dress, I'll run
on ahead. Mr.. Reeves, L trust you to
look out for mother"
"Oh," gasped Mrs. Hardy, taking the

bound, crooked toward her. Il hate
to have jamie go along these roads

man disapprovingly. MANY young

defended her daughter
No doubt she is. l do not suggest
that she is not" Augustus observed
judicially. "All Y mean is that every
young person is better when she's set

course, that's always supposing she is
under the right kind of influence. Now
If Jane was married.

"All women are happier married to

"Yes, it is" Mrs. Reeves agreed

Augustus said. '"Maybe if | think
well of it I'll mention Jane. I'll have
to consider the matter seriously first"
Under ordinary conditions the
mother would have resented his
patronizing tone. Now, however. her
desire to have him use his influence
to keep Jane in Milton overcame all
other feeling.
Thank YOU" she said. "Ill be
much Obliged if you will
A binding flash of lightning fol-
lowed by roar of thunder put a
quietus upon all conversation and the
pair hurried on in silence.
Yet their thoughts were busy--those
of Augustus Reeves with a scheme for
strengthening his slight hold upon
Jane; those of the mother with self
congratulation on the clever way in
which she had worked things" so
that after all her beloved child would
not have to leave home.

CHAPTER V


Jane Hardy had escaped Augustus
Reeves on Sunday, but she was not so
fortunate on Wednesday evening when
she went to the regular weekly prayer
meeting in the chapel.
Her father did not accompany her,
as was his custom, for his rheumatism
was troubling him. and the air, while
sultry was damp. But Mrs. Hardy
and Jane attended the service to-
getheT. AS on Sunday night. the girl
tried TO slip out of the chapel as soon
as the benediction was pronounced,
but this time Augustus Reeves fore
stalled her and reached the door as
soon as she.
"A shower is coming up" he said,
so you and your mother better let me
go along with you, as l have an UNI
brella."
"Oh. no, thank you, it won't be
necessary" Jane assured him, for
mother was afraid it would rain, so
she brought an umbrella"
Thank you just the same. Mr..
Reeves" Mrs. Hardy said politely. She
did not care for this mans escort, but
he was too influential for her to wish
to displease him. Might he not get
Jane the coveted position of teacher in
Milton? Moreover, she remembered,
though reluctantly, Ezra's talk of Sun
uay night. You never could tell what
might happen
But we are going to have a heavy
shower" Reeves insisted. "and that
small umbrella will never protect you
both. Your mother will need it for
herself if it rains hard" he added,
turning to Jane, for it is not large,
and the showers going to be a big
one"
rumble of thunder in the near
distance confirmed the truth of his
statement and a gust of wind was the
forerunner of. the approaching rain.
People began to hurry away to their
homes, all talking of the storm that
was surely on it's way.
Mrs. Hardy Tries to Find an Excuse
oh, come, jamie, let's start Mrs.
Hardy exclaimed nervously. II did
not think it was going to be real
heavy rain, or I'd have brought your
fathers umbrella. for that's so big"
We'll, have mine, so it's all right" ="
Reeves remarked soothingly. Come.
Jane" taking the girls arm in his
strong grasp, well need TO walk fast
to get home in time. Then, if you
don't mind, I'll wait there until the
rain holds up"
Certainly you must" chirped Mrs.
Hardy.
II think you'd better let mother take
your arm, Mr.. Reeves" Jane ven
tured, 'and l will take her umbrella.
| am young and it won't hurt me to
get wet, Besides, 7 am more sure
footed than mother"
But her companion made no move
10 follow her suggestion. His failure
TO do so vexed the girl. Surely her
mother needed protection more than
she did. Did he suppose that she
would cling to him while an older
woman plodded on alone in the dark +?
Pulling herself suddenly away from
him. she took the umbrella from her
mother before Mrs. Hardly could sus-
pect her intention and started on
ahead.

Neal almost jumped out of his skin

Elijah was one OF the few men raised
UP by God to meet a great crisis. and
he ranks with the great reformers of
the ages. He found the whole nation
of Gods chosen people turning away
from God, and by the very might of his
faith he lifted up the whole nation and
turned it about go that once more IT
faced It's Lord: and the same rugged
qualities of unconquerable faith and
unreserved devotion characterized Ell
jab that made effective the work of
such men as Abraham. Moses. Samuel,
Nehemiah. John the Baptist. Paul. Saw
onarola. Luther, Wesley and the other
great reformers Of the ages who have
moved the world forward.
Elijah was not a prophet in the sense
in which we generally use that term
that IS, he did not write prophecy OF
what was to occur IN the future. but
he was a prophet in the sense in which
that term Is used SO much in the Old
Testament-he was an Interpreter of
Gods will. And his message was not
one Of words only, but he awoke Israel

After David's death Israel came upon

until Ahab, the seventh king of Israel
after David made no pretense of serV-
Ing God, but having married Zidon-
ian princess made her worship of Baal

Baal worship meant the prosperity or

of Baal meant feasts. where every one

ties and immoralities of every kind
We know what the worship of Jehovah
meant to Israel. for its meaning re-
mains unchanged even to us today.
And Elijah the Tishbite. who was of
the sojourners of Gilead, said unto
Ahab. AS the Lord liveth. before whom
] stand, there shall not be dew nor rain
these years, but according to my
word" This is the first glimpse We get
of Elijah, and because of this unwel-
come message to the king he had to
fee and hide in the wilderness. There
the ravens fed him, and when the drought
came and there was no more water,
God sent him to the widow of Zareph-
ath, who cared for him more than a
year She had only a cruise of Oil and
handful of meal, but this never dimin-
ished while Elijah was there. Then her
boy fell sick and died, but Elijah
prayed over him. and he was restored
to life.
In the third year OF the drought Elijah
was sent to Ahab. who greeted him
with. "Is II thou. thou troubler OF Is
rael?" To which Elijah Numbered, Il
have not troubled Israel; but thou, and
thy fathers house. in that ye have
forsaken the commandments of the
Lord. and thou hast followed the
Baalim." This denunciation he fol-
lowed with a challenge to tho king to
have a public test of Baal and Jeho-
vah and to serve the god that would
send fire to consume the sacrifice.
Ahab could not refuse to accept this
public challenge. and the test was
made before the assembled people. The
$50 priests of Baal worked themselves
into frenzy. but all to no avail--no
fire came upon their sacrifice. Then
Elijah prepared his sacrifice. and had
many barrels Of water poured over 1t;
then he made simple. direct prayer to
God. and Immediately fire came down
and consumed his sacrifice. The people
shouted. The Lord. He IL God" and

purpose through our suffering. as He
did in the trials Of Moses. Daniel. Paul
and David, who sought a secret con-
ference with Jonathan because he fear
ed that his life was endangered. David
was not afraid of death. but he did not
desire to be put to death unjustly upon
the false charges of sedition.
1t is the duty of true friend to pro-
tect his friend in danger, SO David test
ed Jonathan's friendship when he ap-
pealed to him to point out his danger.
Its cause and If he were guilty of any
wrong doing to take his life. Jonathan
showed the purity of his thoughts and
his loyalty to both his father and
David. when he counseled the latter not
to believe that his life was in peril yet
agreed to test even If it meant per-
sonal danger the attitude of Saul to
David. They arranged for the device
OF the arrows as method of secret
communication as warning of danger
or message of safety.
The man to whom you always turn
in your troubles to tell your tale of
woe is the one you honor with your
friendship. Adversely proves the gen.
uineness of friendship. Jonathan dem
onstrated the reality of his love by the
new covenant. probably a blood cove
nant. which they cut together and rati-
field by an exchange of clothing.
In this covenant we have an example
of a world wide symbolic rite. by which
two persons enter Into the closest, the
compacts. as friends and brothers or as
more than brothers, through the in
termingling of their blood by means Of
its mutual tasting or of its intertrans-
fusion" The time was not long before
Jonathan detected David's danger.
