ties he had to encounter, how he met
them, and as to his successes.
The effort of Nehemiah and his
friends to refortify the city met with
opposition from the rulers and men
Of position in the country round about.
In those days it was necessary for
every large city of any prctentions
to have wall about it, as there was
little law in the country except that of
force. An unwalled city was as open
country. while one with wall was a
| fort ready to defend itself or serve as
a rallying place for expeditions to
prey on other cities and small towns.
There was much jealousy therefore
when the despised Jews actually be-
gan to rebuild the wall of their city
ard enemies made plans to defeat the
enterprise. How they succeeded the
lesson story tells.
Had Sarballat Tobiah and the Am
montes been dealing with any but
Gods chosen people at this time. their
plans to surprise and capture the
builders might have met with success,
but now they were Interfering with
plans of the Almighty. and there was
but one outcome-defeat. Their plans
became known to Nehemiah and at
once unusual vigilance was given to
the situation. One Of the strong verses
of the lesson is the ninth wherein it
is declared 1--WE made our prayer unto
our Cod and set a watch against them
day and night. This was in line with
the commands of the famous Crom-
well. the reformer of England. Trust
in God and keep your powder dry
Many is the sermon which has been
preached on this thought. 1t is point
ed out that prayer is right, but that
with it must go ones utmost to bring
about the condition of things prayed
for. 1t can well be noted that in so
many instances Of cures and aid given
by Jesus, the person to be benefited
was asked and expected to do all he or
she could the supernatural coming in
when human powers gave out, or
could not move. 1t is needless to
dwell On the need for all to use their
utmost endeavor to make the way natur
al for the things prayed for to come
about. We pray for our sick, at the
same time redoubling our care for the
one in distress: we pray for the con-
version Of our friends and at the same
time use what means we can control
to cause the object of our solicitation
to turn from paths of wrong doing
TO those of right. So the Jews at Je-
Tusalem prayed and set watch.
Nehemiah did more than watch and

December 2-Nehemiah Rebuilds
the Walls of Jerusalem. Neh. a.
Our lesson this week again takes us
back to the days Of five hundred years
before Christ was born, and gives us
information as to Jewish history of
those times. Not that there needed
added interest to the city of Jerusalem
yet there is much talk as to the city
on reading the press reports of the
war which state the British forces
are battling for supremacy in Pales-
tine. that Joppa on the shore of the
great sea has been taken and that
Jerusalem may be in the near future.
1t will be recalled that the Jews
lived in that country and it was to
them the promised Land" in the
days of long ago. Because of wicked
ness the land was taken, enemies came
upon them, notably from Babylon, and
there was captivity for many years.
The sacred city was despoiled, the
walls broken down, the temple sacked.
In the course of time some Jews I'M
der Ezra came back and began a
restoration but they did not do much
along that line. Later Nehemiah, a
court favorite OF the Persian king, OBJ
tanned permission to go to the city
and with energy try to restore some
OF it's ancient strength and splendor

What IS needed most is an increase in

successfully you, need to put on hcnlthy
flesh, rouse the liver to vigorous action,

'Dave," he said, rising to stand over
the square-built man in the swing
chair, ats like pulling a sound tooth
to have to tell you the plain truth.
You've got a mighty bad case of
money-rot. The profit account has
grown so big with you that you can't
see over the top Of 1t. You've horsed
back and forth between Stanton's out
fit and ours until you can't tell the
difference between your old friends
and bunch of low-down, conscience
less land-pirates. You pull your gun
and go to shooting whenever you get
ready. Wen stay with you and try
to hold up our end-and Johns. And
you mark my words, Dave: you're the
man that's going to get left in this
deal; the straddler always gets left"
And with that he cut the interview
short and went back to the High Line
offices on the upper floor.

MAN

ana ne said tbat perhaps you would
that perhaps you might want to"
Her rich voice was at its fruitiest,
and the hesitation was of exactly the
proper shade.
Kinzie, cold-blooded as a fish with
respondent debtors, felt himself sud-
denly warmed and moved to be gentle
with this gracious young woman.
''Er-yes, Miss Richlander-er--a
dlsagreeable duty, you know. 1 want
ed to ask about this young man, Smith.
We don't know him very well here in
Brewster, and as he has considerable
business dealings with the bank, We
that is, thought your father might
be able to tell us something about
his standing in his home town."
"And my father did tell your"
"Well-yes; he-er-he says Smith
is IA grand rascal; fugitive from
Justice; and we thought" David Kin
zie, well hardened In all the processes
Of dealing with men, was making diff
ficult weather Of 1t with this all-too-
beautiful young woman.
Miss Richlander's laugh was well re-
strained. She seemed to be struggling
earnestly to make 1t appear so.
You business gentlemen are so fun
ny" she commented. "You know, of
course, Mr.. Kinzle, that this Mr.. Smith
and l are old friends; you've probably
seen US together enough to be sure of
that. Hasn't it occurred to you that
however well 1 might know the Mr..
Smith my father has written you
about, should hardly care to be seen
in public with himT
"Then there are two Of themT Kin
zie demanded.
The young woman was laughing
again. "Would that be so very Won
derful?-with so many Smiths in the
world?"
"But-er-the middle name, Miss
Richlander: that isn't so infern-so
very common, I'm sure"
1T is rather remarkable, isn't It?
But there are good many Montagues
in our part of the world, too. The
man my father wrote you about al
ways signed himself j. Montague as

"Then this Brewster Smith isn't the
one who is wanted in Lawrenceville
for embezzlement and attempted MUIR

another very palpable attempt to
smother her amusement. "H you could

81 am afraid you do not practice
economy, my dear" complained Mr..
Kjones.
His wife cast contemptuous glance
at him. "Come with me to the attic"
she commanded. And he followed her
thither.
in the attic she opened a trunk and
took out bundle wrapped carefully In
tissue paper. Tearing off the wrap
pings, she disclosed lovely, filmy
gown.
"That," she said, "is my wedding
Dress"
"And do you call 1t economy to save
your wedding dress" he chortled.
''That's not economy, It's sentimen-
tality. 1t would have been economy
to wear that dress and get Its worth
out Of 1t. But here 1t is no earthly
good to you nor anybody else. Econ0-

"That's where you are wrong" she
said, calmly. II am saving that dress

She rose and pressed the bell push,
and when the floor boy came, he was
sent to the lobby to page Jibbey. Dur
ing the little wait, David Kinzie was
skillfully made to talk about other
things. Jlbbey was easily found, as 1t
appeared, and he came at once. Miss
Richlander did the honors graciously.
'Mr. Kinzie, this is Mr.. Tucker Jib-

TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan to
Raise Standard of Cleanliness In
Residences and Business Houses.

The city Of Alameda, Cal, has adopt
ed unique plan to raise the standard
of cleanliness In residences and bust
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition of the various premises Is to
be shown by placards bearing the In
scriptions Clean" DIRTY" or 'Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board of health win be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by tine
board OF health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health Of the city.
The board Of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
10 afix the placards to every house In
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as clean" win not be
placarded, but those In which sanitary
conditions are disregarded win be des-
ignated as 'dirty" or filthy" until. the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards win be re-
moved.
AS the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain ON the houses or
places OF business until the board is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. II any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme PEN
atty Of the law can be enforced
