HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That They May
Be an Inspiration to Future
..-... Generations.

History does not relate for the suRe
of relating; it does not paint for the
sake of painting; it relates and paints
the past that it may be a living lesson
of the future. 1t proposes to instruct
new generations by the experience of
those who have gone before them, by
exhibiting to them faithful picture
of great and important events with
their causes and their effects. with
general designs and particular pas
siOns, with the faults and virtues that
are found commingled in human
things. 1t teaches the excellence Of
prudence, courage, and great thoughts
profoundly meditated, constantly pur-
sued, and executed with moderation
and force. 1t shows the vanity Of
immoderate pretensions. the power of
wisdom and virtue, the impotence Of
folly and crime. Thucydides. Polybius.
and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
idle curiosity or a worn threadbare
imagination. They doubtless desire
to interest and attract. but more to

Friendship.

The Hottest test of friendship-un.
derstood as companionship-is the
power to do without it. And In this
world of external COMMISSIONS and sep
arations, there is often such need.
We do not yield the friendship, but
must forego the companionship. Then
comes the proof of our capacity for
sacrifice, our loyalty to the Highest
of all. We turn our faces from each
other, but never our hearts, and walk
our opposite ways. Gradually tho
heavens widen and deepen above us,
we find ourselves breathing new, yet
strangely familiar atmospheres, sweet
with the breath of the old affection;
we see ourselves-each sees the other
met once more in Presence which
has never forsaken us-the presence
of one who puts his cross into the
hands of all hottest friendship, saying
Conquer by this ~ There is no dan
ger of losing love, here or hereafter,
if it is only real; for love is the one
indestructible element in the universe.

CHAPTER XVII.

Events followed each other with re-
freshing rapidity. While the crew of
the big locomotive on the crossing
busted themselves getting up steam,
Sexton and Jules Rondeau toiled at
the loading Of the discarded boiler and
heavy castings aboard two fiat cars.
BY utilizing the steel derrick on the
company's wrecking car, this task was
completed by noon, and after luncheon
the mogul backed up the main line
past the switch into the Laguna
Grande yards; whereupon the switch
engine kicked the two fiat cars and the
wrecking car out of the yard and down
to the crossing, where the distractions
were promptly unloaded. The police
watched the operation with alert inter
est but forebore to interfere in this
high-handed closing of a public thor
opghfare.
To Sections annoyance and secret
apprehension, Bryce Cardigan and
Buck Ogilvy promptly appeared on the
scene, both very cheerful and lavish
with expert advice as to the best
method of expediting the job in hand.
To Bryce's surprise Jules Rondeau ap-
peared to take secret enjoyment of
this good-natured chatting of the La
guna Grande manager. Occasionally
he eyed Bryce curiously but without
animus, and presently he flashed the
