Of Faith and the impulse of love. Was
it an opportunity or a temptation?
One thing only was clear to him, it
was inevitable. and the inevitable
comes from God. OF one thing only
he was sure. to rescue this girl would
be a deed Of tove, and love is the light
of the soul. He took his gift from
his bosom, and laid in in her hand
saying, This is thy ransom, daugh-
ter the last OF my treasures which /
had for the King" and as Arabian
gave his priceless gift for a ransom
for the girl, just sc God had given his
priceless gift, his only beloved son,
for a ransom for many. Then the
earth trenbled and heved like the
bosom of one struggling with mighty
grief; but what had Artaban to fear,
his quest was over and it had failed,
but even in the thought, there was
peace. He knew that all was well. At
this moment he was struck on the head
by falling timber. He lay brr IS
with his head on the youn Is
shoulder. She thought he was .cad
then suddenly she heard a voice say
ing: Your journey is over Artaban,
your treasures have been accepted,
behold the King" May we, like Arta-
ban, be untiring in our Christian
service for the Master, and when all
Iife's lessons have been learned, hear
the voice of approval, saying, We'll
done, thou good and faithful servant
enter thou into the presence of your
King"

THE OLD AND NEW YEAR.

IT'S nearing midnights Holy Hour,
Silence like spirit is lowering near.
Listen the bells deep tones are swell
ing,
'Tis the knell of the departed year
We hear all discords known to man
AS we'll as the bells in yon church
tower,
'Tis the warning and notice to mankind
We are approaching the departing
hour.
Then rims, big bells. thy wonderful
Ring out the darkness, ring in the
light
Ring out the old dying year,
That is leaving us forever tonight
Then ring, happy bells. DER land and
sea,
Ring out things old, ring in new
Ring farewell to the old years going
Rinr out friends false, ring in true.
Take, old year, your grIefs and sor-
row,
That we may know them no more.
Give Us new year happiness and sue
cess
To all alike. both the rich, the poor.
Take, old year, your deceit and causes
dead,
That has caused untold misery and
strife;
Give Us new year faith, hope and love
To mold for us noble life
Then fare thee we'll, old year
We are truly gald 10 see you go:
You have long held in Your hand
Only sadness, misery and woe.
We welcome and hope for the coming
year.

Dicky had once made came back with
a sting like that of a venomous insect.
Once one Of the women taking my his
tory course at the Lotus club had
praised my lecture extraYagantly, and
had queried whether / had ever writ
ten any short stories or novels with
historical settings. had repeated her
remarks to Dicl5y. and he had seen.
what l hardly recognized myself that
her words had reused in me an am5i-
tion to follow her suggestion.
A Memory that Troubles.
For heavens sake. Madge" Dicky
had said irritably. Don't get the writ
ing itch You're not fitted for it, by
temperament, and frankly, 1 don't
think YOU have the ability for it,"
I had never forgotten the sneering
tone in which Dicky spoke. and never
had mentioned the matter again. In
deed, his manner had effectually
quenched any spark Of ambition kim
died by the clubwoman's praise.
But the remembrance OF his disap-
prevail, of his sighting opinion of my
ability made the knowledge Of his lit
erary collaboration with Edith Fair
fax a bitter draught for me to swallow.
I had never spoken to the girl, never
had met her, but I had seen her, had
scrutinized her closely upon one or two
occa siOns. That she was n gentle
woman with all that the old-fashioned
word implies. I was certain. But that
her pretty daintily poised head held
any exceptional brain power 1 very
much doubted.
And l was sure that jealousy didn't
bias my Judgment. In the days when
Grace Draper was such a menace TO
NV happiness 1 had never underesti-
mated her ability or her mentality.
But my trained powers Of observation
told me that the art student from Viz
GINA, while the possessor of patrician
traditions and breeding which Grace
Draper lacked completely, yet was
much the inferior in mentality to the
other woman.
And then something else seized me.
something which put all thought Of
Edith Fairfax and Of her play out Of
my brain. 1t was one of the sinister
premonitions which come to me some
times. and which have almost without
exception foreboded unhappiness for
me.
! tried to fight against it, 70 tell my
self that il was only brain phantasy
born Of my mental comparison Of the
two women who had cared for Dtcky.
But an TO no avail
For there was borne in upon me the
conviction that nearer TO me than 1
dreamed, there lurlzed the malign in
huence OF the women who hated me

QUAINT NEW YEAR
CUSTOMS

In Scotland New Years day has even
more Importance than Christmas,
Highland laddies form professions and
go from house to house singing and
receiving food and gifts. From Scot
land also comes the curious susper-
stition that it is unlucky to take any
thing out of the house on New Years
day before one has brought something
in; hence members OF the family may
be seen carrying Il piece of coal or any
small object into the house, to pre-
vent misfortune during the new year
A quaint New Year custom in Her
fordshire, England, is to weave black
thorn into a crown, SINCE it slightly
over a fire and stand around it repeat
ing the words, odd Cider The
crown is then hung up for luck during
the year.
The wassail bowl or loving cup,
filled with spiced ale, was in use in
New Year celebrations in Old World
countries. and children would go
about the streets caroling.
In England December 25 was the
New Years day until the time of
William the Conquerer. His corona
ton occurred January l, hence the
year was ordered to begin on that
day England. however. gradually fell
into unison with the rest of Christen-
dom, and began the year the 18th Of
March The Gregorian calendar re-
stored January l as the gateway OF the
year, but IL was not until 1852 that
England adopted this date.

i LIvERMORE, Cal, Aug. 26.--Many
elderly and well to do residents of Liv-
ermore and vicinity are today enjoying
going over many of the school exer-
cises which they wrote out way back
in 1873.
While the old school building here
was being wrecked recently, workmen
found in one of the walls depository
for papers, which had later been
boarded up and painted over,
A large number of 1878 papers were
found on which pupils of that day had
written their lessons Many of the cit
izens still reside here or in this part OF
California. The papers were returned
to them, yellowed with age, and GOV
cred with their childish ciphering.
AS a curious coincidence, among the
papers found were some belonging tC
Henry J. Meyers. Meyers is now 8
noted San Francisco architect, and was
the man who drew up the plans for the
fine new building which is to replace
he old one just torn down.

principals were much the same then al
lowadays, the following yeilowed note
