 To prevent the possibility of miss ing him, Elsa had engaged the room boy to loiter about downstairs and to | report to her the moment Warrington arrived. The boy came pattering up at quarter to six.
 He come. He downside I go, he come topside?"
 NO. That will be all'' The following ten minutes tested her patience to the utmost. Presently she heard the banging of trunk lid. He was there. What was she going to say to him? The trembling that struck at her knees was wholly new sensation. Presently the tremor died away, but it left her weak. She stepped toward his door and knocked gently on the jamb.
 She heard something click as it struck the floor. Ct was Warning tons cutty, which he had carried for seven years, now in smithereens. ) She saw a hand, raw knuckled and bleeding slightly, catch at the curtain and swing it back upon its rings.

 "Yes . Oh, you've been hurt!'' she exclaimed, noting the gash upon his forehead. A strip of tissue paper Gin lieu of court plaster) lay soaking upon that wound-a trick learned in the old days when razors grew dull overnight.
 Hurt? Oh, ran against something when I wasn't looking" he explained lamely. Then he added eagerly: q did not know that you were on this gallery. First time I've put up at a hotel in years" It did Tot serve.
 "You have been fighting! Your hand"
 He looked at the hand dumbly. How keen her eyes were.
 "Was it Mallow? Did you
 whip him?"
 q did, initiating her tone and hesitance. It was the wisest thing he could have done, for it re- faxed the nerves of both of them
 Elsa smiled, smiled and forgot the substance of all her rehearsals, forgot the letter of credit, warm with the heat of her heart. q am a pagan D she confessed.
 And I am barbarian. I ought to be horribly ashamed of myself"

 For a moment their eyes drew. Hers were like dark whirlpools, and he felt himself drifting helplessly, irresist- ibly. He dropped his hands upon the railing and gripped; the illusion of fighting a current was almost real to

Two Letters.

And all that day Elsa had been waiting patiently to hear sounds of Warrington in the next room. Never could she recall such long, weary hours. Time and again she changed piece of ribbon, bit of lace, and twice she changed her dress, all for the purpose of making the hours pass more quickly. Whenever Martha ap- preached Elsa told her that she wanted nothing, that she was head achy, and wanted to be left alone.

That Life of Yours.
Y Y

The following paper was read by a
member of the b. Y. 7. l.. at the Bap-
list Church last Sunday evening. We
have given this to show something of
the work being done by this society.
We hope that it will be instructive and
profitable to all who may read it,
In considering this great subject 1t
appeals to me that it ls personal.
That life Of yours, or if you please,
this life of mine. or these lives of ours.
| will endeavor to divide this subject
into three parts. Viz; Gift of life,
purpose and end, and will try to give
an assuring word for each. Life is the
gift of God
When God created man he was not n
living soul. but a created body without
life, but when God breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life man became
a living soul.
He was then a living. conscious and
responsible beng. We have the assur-
ing word that our very life is a blessing
from God.
For in Him we live and move and
have our being Therefore we should
live for Him, our talents whatever they
are. should be used for the upbuildng
of His kingdom in the hearts of men.
Our influence should be good, For
whatsoever We do, do all to the glory of
God
Purpose We should have purpose
in life.
We have no assurance az to the num-
Der of our days; nor how long we will
live; but We have the assuring word
that life is long enough for its purpose.
No life is too brief for Gods purpose.
The Dermott news., 1916-02-10

Life is not altogether what we make
it. But we are what we make of life.
We are not responsible for our station
in life, only for how we fill our station.
We are not responsible for opportuni-
ties. but for the use we make of them.
We have many lives now standing in
the pages of history, because God had
a purpose in those lives; and they did
not fail to allow God to work out his
purpose in them.
AS an assuring word that God has a
purpose in that life of yours and this
life of mine. shall mention a few in
whose lives there was a God given pur-
pose.
We have Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
the three great patriarchs, and the
fathers of the Hebrew nation. Joseph
the preserver of life in time of famine.
Moses as law giver. Saul, David and
Solomon, born to be kings and rulers.
Isaiah Ezekiel. Jeremiah. and Daniel.
the four great prophets of God Peter
and Paul. and all the apostles of Christ,
"a preachers. calling men from their
sins and pointing them to Christ, the
light and life of the world. All these
had God given purpose in life.
And then we have in the history OF
our own country men and women
whose names will live on and on, be
cause they had a purpose in life. They
saw opportunities and improved them.
Among these are Columbus, George
Washington, Robert +. Lee, L. 5.
Grant. Francis f. Willard, Dwight l..
Moody. and scores of others, who made
for themselves a name because they
had purpose in life.
Let us not think that life is too short
for God : purpose, but 1t is too short to
idle away without a purpose.
And now the end if life has an end.
This present and natural life Is only
the preparatory department, proceed
ing the life which is to come. We
have the assuring word that the better
we live in this life the happier we will
be in the life to come, that is the
spiritual life Let our lives point to
Christ for He is the way, the truth and
the life.
Who said it is not all of life to live,
nor all of death to die ?
