As soon as Reggie's affairs had lieen set comparatively straight, and as many of his more pressing debts as he could be Induced for the moment toacknowledge had been duly discharged by Kathleen's aid, the poor girl set to work in real earnest to discover, if jDossible, what had become of Arnold Willoughby. She didn't want to see him—not just at present at least, till this misunderstanding was cleared up, if cleared up it could ever be by her bare assertion. Butshe did want to know where be was, to write and explain to him, to tell bim how deeply and how completely he LVid misjudged her. It was all in vain, hi "»wcver. She had to eat her heart out wi.V» unfulfilled desire. Go where she would, she could hear nothing at all of him. .She dived into the recesses of east end ciiftiw houses, sadly against her will placed where it seemed incredible to her that Arn*Dt(J Willoughby should be found and where nevertheless many sailors seemed to fcniHv him. "Willoughby, aye, Willoughby—that's the chap that used to make me hand bim over my screw as soon as it was i*iid and send three parts of It home to my missus and keep the rest for me, for baccy iukI Mich like. Aye, he was a good sort, ho was", but it's long sin'I Baw him. Drowned mayhap, or left the Boa or sonnnat." That was all she could hear of Arnold in the seafaring quarter. It seemed quite natural to those hardy salts that a person of their acquaintance snoum disappear suddenly lor a year or two from their ken, or even should drop out of existence altogether without any one's missing him. Hallway anil Other Arrangements for Tliin Rev. .J. C. Hogan Tells IIIh Story In the Section First Baptist Cliurch. The subject of this sketch was born In Berlin township, Wayne county, Pa., Nov. 20, 1855. His early life was that of the ordinary conntry boy, viz , farm work In snmmer and attending the district school in winter. At the age of fifteen he entered the store of E G. Beed, In Honesdale, where he remained a number of years, mastering all the details of the buelnees Leaving Mr. Reed, he spent some time in western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. Not finding any business to suit his taste, he returned and entered as clerk in a co operative store at Taylor, In which capacity he semd nntil the firm dissolved He then went to Wayne county, attended the Prompton Normal School, and shortly thereafter commenced teaching. He tanght several terms in Wayne county, and began another at Dnryea, Lazerne county, but being offered a position by 8. N. Stettler, resumed again his favorite employment. Here he gave three years of faithful service, being promoted during ♦he time. On the transference of the business from Mr. Stettler »o Clark & Foster, If r. Dills accepted the poeition as manager of the Florence Coal Co.'s store at Dupont. His nine years' stay at Dupont was crowned with success. His reputation for honesty and fair dealing built up a fine trade and , won for him hosts of friends. JOHN F. DILLS vlved, we must have heard of *J»im, of course, and have given judgmenDDdifTerently.

The trip :rcm this vicinity to Boston, as It has been arranged by Transportation Agent J. C. Manning, Is a very enjoyable one Leaving here Tuesday morning, July '.)th, with two special cars attached to the Lehigh Valley 8:40 train, and viewing the beautifal scenery en route to New York, passing throngh Mauch Chun., and the Lehigh Valley, New York will be reached at three o'clock.

J. C. Hogan, of Forest City, the well known Methodist preacher whose Prohibition views have brought him into prominence, especially by reason of his controversy on the question with Bishop Andrews and his decision not to accept the charge to which he was appointed by Wyoming Conference, delivered a lec'nre in the First Baptist Church last Friday, under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society. About seventy-five persons were present. Mr. Ilogan's topic was, "The Chnrch on Trial Before the Nation." The aadlence expected a Prohibition lecture and they received just what they expected. The lecture was characterise of the speaker,, being filled with red hot Prohibition sentiment from beginning to end. In the main, it was a review of the addresses and writings of wh ch Mr. Hogan has delivered himself in the controversy over the Wyoming conference affair, together with the reading of extracts from letters from prominent men and women, nearly all Prohibitionists, endorsing his stand and showing that he is not alone in his position. Denunciation of the clergy aad officials of the chnrch for their refusal to work and vote for Prohibition, as a party principle, formed the basis of the speaker's remarks. While there was nothing what ever new In the address, either In the general Prohibition sentiments expressed or In Mr Hogan's remarks on the Wyoming conference affair, the fact that one who had created such a stir told his story In person lent more interest to the address than It otherwise would have had. At the olose of the lectnre, Mr. Hogan presented the subject of the establishment of a daily Prohibition paper in Scranton, and Invited subscriptions to the paper at $5 a year.

IX Lesson I.—The Triumphal Entry (Mark *1,1-11). Golden text, Mark xi, 9, "Hcsanna, blessed 1* He that cometh in the name of the Lord." His knowledge of all things and His control over all things may be dwelt upon with great profit. Even the untamed ass' colt Is perfectly submissive to Him. His entry Into Jerusalem in this manner, whioh was a liberal fulfillment of Zech. tx, 9, teaches us to believe that the other prophecies of Zech. 11, 4,18; vi, 18; vlii, 8; *11,10; xiv, 8, 4, 9, and many such like, shall be just as liberally fulfilled, i Lesson II. —The Resurrection—An Easter Lesson (I Cor. *v, 3-14). Golden text, I Cor. xv, 20, "Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept." Unless Christ had risen from the dead there would have been no salvation, no forgiveness of sins, no gospel to preach. But during the 40 days between His resurrection and ascension He was seen and talked with by many people who were His disciples on at least ten different occasions, ana after He ascended visibly to heaven he was seen by Saul and Stephen and John. That was hard indeed, for nothing roused Arnold Wlllouglihy's indignation more than an imputation of untruthfulness. Lord Helvellyn smiled grimly. CHAPTER XIV. THE AXMINSTEK PEERAGE. the doorkeeper. J do ooorueeper ooweo low, and Arnold Willoughby followed him. "Go away, sir," he cried, with a gesture of honest contempt. "You lied to me, and yon know it. You're an impudent scoundrel, that's what you are—a most impudent scoundrel—and if ever I see you loitering about this house again I'll give orders to the doorkeeper to take you by the scruff of your neck "and eject you forcibly."The proceedings in the house were short anil purely formal. The committee, represented by one half blind old gentleman, read their report of privilege in a mumbling tone, hut Arnold could see Its decision was awaited with the utmost interest by bis cousin Algy, who, as claimant to the seat, stood at the lDar of the house awaiting judgment. Thecommittee found that AllDert Ogllvie Real burn, seventh earl of Ax minster, was actually dead; that his identity with the person who sailed in the Saucy .Sally from Liverpool to Melbourne under the assumed name of Douglas Overton had been duly proved to their satisfaction; that the Saucy Sally had been lout, as alleged, in the Indian ocean, and that all souU on I ward had really perished; that ainong the persons so lost was Albert Ogilvie Redburu, alias Douglas Overton, seventh earl of Axminster; that Algernon Loftus Red burn, eldest son of the Hon. Algernon Redburn, deceased, and grandson of the fifth earl, was the heir to the peerage, and that this house admitted his claim of right and humbly prayed her majesty to issue her gracious writ summoning him as a peer of parliament accordingly. That evening, however, by some strange mischance, the ran on himself complained of luvulache. Next morn iOf; be was worse, and they sent for the doctjpr. The due tor looked grave. "I've been expecting this sooner or later," he said, "if something wasn't done aljout those slums by the river. I'm afraid, Mrs. Valentine, it would l»e only false kindness to conceal the truth from you. The canon shows undoubted symptoms of typhoid." ' At Genoa, as luek would have it, Arnold Willoughby found a place on a homeward bound brigantine dircct. for London. That was all ha wanted. He craved for action. He waa a sailor once more and bad cast art behind him. No more dalliance with tha luxurious muse of painting. In the daily drudgery of the sea, in the teeth of the wind, he would try to forget his bitter disappointment. Hard work and dog watches might suffice to cauterize the raw surface of the wound Kathleen Hesslegrave had unwillingly and unwittingly Inllated. Arnold's blood boiled hot. For a second he felt himself once more an aristocrat. Was he to be jostled and hustled like this, with insult and contumely, from his own hereditary chamber by a new fongled law lord| Next moment his wrath cooled, and bq saw for himself the utter illogicality, the' two siiied absurdity, of bis own position. It was clearly untenable. The old law lord was right. He was not the Karl of Axminster. These precincts of parliament were no place for him in future. He slunk down the step like a whipped cur. 'Twas for the very last time. As he went he shook off the dust from his feet metaphorically. Whatever came now he must never more be a Redburn or an Axminster. He was quit of it once for all. He emerged into Parliament street more fixedly than ever a plain Arnold Willoughby.It was quite true. He had caught it three weeks earlier on a visL of inti|Dectiou to Close Wynd, the slums by the river, where he had duly pronounced t he cottages on the cathedral proiierty "perfectly fit for human habitation." And now out of liis own mouth had nature convicted him, for in his eagerness to prove that all was for the tDest in the best of all possible cathedral towns for the tenants of the chap ter he had asked for and tossed off a glass of the tainted water to which the borough sanitary inspector was calling his attention. "Perfectly pure and good," he said in his testy way. "Never tasted better water in my life, I assure you. What the people want to complain about nowadays fairly passes my comprehension " And he went his way rejoicing, lint for 21 days those insidious little microbes that he swallowed so carelessly lay maturing their colouy in the canon's doomed body. At the end of that time they swarmed and developed themselves, and even the canon himself knew in his own heart, unspoken, that it was the Close Wynd water that had given him typhoid fever. When he made his will, he did liot forget it, and the law yer who opened it eight days later found that in that hasty sheet, dictated from his death IDed, the canon hr.d remembered to leave £200 for the improvement of thesan itary condition of the "perfect" cottages which had proved his destruction. He did wrong to fly from her, of course, without giving her at leant the  »n explanation, but then that was exactly Arnold WUlooghhy's nature. He would have been otber than himself if he had not •o acted. Batreme modiflabllity waa the keynote of (ila character. The sell same impulse which had made him in the first jrrfjnn sink name and individuality at a moment's notioe in order to become a new m«n and a common sailor made him also In the aeoond instance rush at once to the conclusion that he had been basely deceived and drove him to remodel without a second's delay his whole scheme of life and activity for the future. Half gentleman, half gypsy, he was a man of principle and yet a creature of Impulse. The Instant be found his plans going hopelessly wrong be waa ready to alter them offhand with drastic severity. "It's like huntin for a needle in a bottle of hay, miss," one old sailor observed, with a friendly smile, "to look for a seaman in Lesson HI.—Watchfulness (Math, xxiv, 4&-61). Golden text, Mark *111, 88, "Take ye heed, watch and pray." This la called » temperance lesson, and If received Into the heart would greatly tend to maksus temperate In all things. There la nothing •o purifying and separating and Inspiring aa to be constantly watching for the coming of the Son of Man. Three essentials of ft good servant are given—ready, wise. Ready to meet his Master at any moment, faithful to his Master's affairs at all times, and wise In his watchfulness and faithfulness, his lamp filled and brightly burning. Lesson IV.—'The Lord's Supper (Mark xiv, 18-26). Golden text, Luke xxll, 10, "This do In remembrance of me." Ws have here another Instance of His omniscience and of the eubjectVon of willing hearts unto Him. An appropriate and helpful word in connection with the lesson is the association of I Cor. xl, 26, with Luke xlx, 18, "Ye do show the Lord's death till He come," therefore "occupy till Heoome." And how can we better occupy than by dying constantly to self and living unto God, yielding fully to Him for His pleasure? Lesson V.—The Agony In Gethsemau (Mark xiv, 82-42). Golden text, John xvlll, 11, "The cup which my Father hath given Dte, shall I not drink itf" Not even favored three could In any sense appreciate the ftwfulness of this hour, but while Ha agonized they slept. This agony He only could endure, and It was all for me. How meekly we should bear our greatest trials, which are so small when compared with His (H Cor. iv, 16-18). Lesson VI.—Jesus Before the High Priest (Mark xiv, 58-04). Golden text, Isa. 1111,8. "He la despised and rejected of men." Meekly submitting to be bound and led away. He patiently endures this mockery of a trial, falsely accused of many things, bat guilty of nothing. Silent because there was nothing to answer, until He was pointedly asked, "Art thou the Christ?" to which He replied, MI am," and added that He should yet be seen on the right hand of power and glory. Lesson VII.—Jesus Before Pilate (Mark XV, 1-15). Golden text, Mark xv, 5, "But Jesus vet answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled." What a night It was, what torture, and so prolonged! His disciples at first all forsook Him, John afterward returned, and Peter followed afar off. Alone, in communion with His Father, He bore ItalL If Failing health compelled him In the spring of 1894 to resign He spent a number of weeks in Philadelphia, to be treated personally by Dr. Wm. Pepper, of the University of Pennsylvania. The Dr. finally advised a change of climate and suggested Colorado. Accordingly, on the 18th of June, accompanied by his wife, he started for Denver. Two months' stay gave him some encouragement. He returned in August and removed his family from Dupont to the home of his wife's parents, Hr. and Mrs Ben]. Richardson, In Old Forge. Inactivity being foreign to his natnre he engaged at once In a cash grocery business, much to the surprise of those who kntw his condition beet Although unable to be In the store he superintended his business to the last. If Kathleen Hesslegrave wished to make herself a countess, she must fix her hopes somewhere else, he felt sure, than on Membury castle. For him the sea and no more of this fooling! Life is real, life is earnest, and Arnold Willoughby meant to take it earnestly. Algernon Red burn, below,smiled ft smile of triumph, but Arnold Willoughby, In the gallery, felt n little shudder pass over him. It whs no wonder indeed. He had ueased to exist legally. He was no longer his own original self, but in very deed a common sailor. He knew that the estates must follow tie title—from that day forth he was a beggar, a nameless nobody. Till the report was read he might have stood forth at any moment and claimed his ancestral name and his ancestral acres. Now the die was cast. He felt that after he And yet, be said to himself, it was never hi* own individuality be got rid of at all, (bat alone persisted. All these changes •nd distruisc* were forced noon him. indeed, by the difficulty of realizing his own Inner personality in a world which insisted on accepting him as an earl instead of reckoning him up as be wished at his intrinsic value as a human being. That inrtrinsio value Arnold Willoughby was determined to discover and appraise, no matter at what cost of trouble and disillusion. His naked worth as a man among men waa the only kind of worth he cared one Jot or tittle to realize. CHAPTER XV. IN A CATHEDRAL CITT. Weeks passed before Kathleen Hesslegrave recovered from the shock of that terrible disappointment. It shattered her nerves for the moment. It left her heartbroken. It was not so much the blow to ber love, though that was bad enough— Kathleen was strong of soul and could bear up against a mere love trouble—it was the sense of being so completely and unjustly misunderstood—it was the feeling that the man she had loved best in the world had gone away from her entirely misconceiving and misreading her character. At the risk of seeming unwomanly Kathleen would have followed him to tbe world's end, if she could, not so much for love's sake as to clear up that unendurable slight to her integrity. That any man, and above all Arnold Willoughby, should think her capable of planning a vile and deliberate plot to make herself a countess while pretending to be animated by the most disinterested motives was a misfortune under which such a girl as Kathleen could not sit down quietly. It goaded her to action. FAT AT. K AII, WAT ACCIDENT, Michael Miillierrin, of Browntown, Run Down fty a Central Freight Train. of hny, mitts." the port o' London. Mayhap when the sailors come back to Dundee you might get some news o' him, for Willonghby he were always one as had an eye on the sealin.""If 8 like huntln for a needle in a bottle One day later Mrs. Valentine succumbed. She, too, had drunk the poisonous water, "for example's sake, Amelia," her husband had said to her, and she, too, died after a short attack. It was a most virulent type of the disease, the doctor said— the type that comes of long sanitary neglect and wholesale pollution. Hut that was not all. These things seldom stop short with the original culprits. Mrs. Ilessle grave was seized, too, after nursing her two old friends through their fatal illness, and being weak and ill l»eforehand with regret and remorse for the part she had played in driving away the earl whom Kathleen wanted to marry—for that was the way in which Mrs. Hesslegrave thought of it to the very end—she sunk rapidly under the strain and died within a fortnight of the two Valentines.' So Kathleen found herself practically alone in the world, and with Reginald on her hands, except so far as his "iDaltry 200" would enable a gen tletnan of so much social pretensions to keep himself in the barest necessaries at the florist's and the glover's. Michael Mulherrin, aged 25, a wel known young man of Browntown, died Monday 'afternoon at two o'clock at the Hospital, ai a result of Injuries received at 1:30 Sunday morning on the Delaware and Hudson tracks at a point between the Butler curve and the Cork Lane station. It is said that Mulherrin had been calling on friends in Avoca, and that be was on his vay home, walking along the track, when thejCentral Railroad fast freight 416 ran him down. He was struck on the head, his skull being badly fractured, and he also suffered a serious Injury to his hip. He was taken to the Hospital at 5 a. m., ia an unconscious oondltlon. He lingered without regaining consciousness until 2 p. m. About a year ago, his brother was killed on the railroad near where this accident took place. Mulherrin was a blacksmith, and worked at the Boston mine. For life, mortal life, despite Its many cares, he hoped and prayed. Life he obtained—eternal life—for on Good Friday, God spoke peace to his soul. On Friday, June 14th., his spirit took its flight. Ou his last day on earth be badt an affectionate farewell to each member of his family. CAAEIN AT GRAND TUNNEL. When he reached London, therefore, he decided to see what steps were being taken In the vexed question of the Axminster peerage before be engaged for a longer voyage to tbe northern seas, which be liked beat to aall in bracing summer weather. Bo on tbe very afternoon of his discharge Cms tbe brigantlne, where be had signed (or tbe single voyage only, he walked into a coffee boose on the river bank and inverted a ha'penny in an evening paper. With that slender hope Kathleen buoyed herself up for the pruseut, but her poor heart sank as she thought that during all these weeks Arnold must be going on thinking worse and ever worse of her, letting the wound rankle deep in that sensitive breast of his. Ten Acres of Surface Affected ami Several IIonsen Damaged, The people of Grand lunnel, the little village on the west slda of the river opposite Nanticoke, are mnih exercised over a cave In which occurred last Friday. About ten acres of land over the workings of No. 3 colliery of the Susquehanna Coal Company settled. There are numerous fissures and holes, and lavge depressions at intervals. There are about twenty houses on the territory affected, and several were badly damaged. Further settlings of the ground are expected, and the people are uneasy, some of them refusing to oc • npy their houses Mr. Dills was married on December 30, 1833, to Sarah 0. Richardson, of Parsons, Luzerne county, who still survives him with three children, Duane B , aged 10; Nellie L , aged 8, and Horaoe G., aged 4. He Is also survived by his sged mother, who resides In Wayne Oo., two brothers and two sisters, F. B., liveryman at Duryea-, S. K , of Wayne do.; Mrs. John B. Gray, of Beech Lake, Pa., and Miss Ella, of Duryea. One element of brightness alone there was in her life for the moment—her art at least was being better and better appreciated. She sold her academy picture for more than double what she had ever before received, and no wonder, for she painted it in the thrilling ecstasy of first maiden passion. If it hadn't lieen for this rise In her prices, indeed she didn't know how she could have met Mr. Reginald's demands, and Mr. Reginald himself, quick to observe where a fresh chance opened, immediately discounted Kathleen's betterment in market value by incurring several new debts with tailor and tobacconist on the strength of his sister's increased ability to pay them in future. Ha waa not long in coming upon the Item be wanted, "Axminster Peerage Case. This afternoon the house of lords will deliver Judgment upon tbe claim of Algernon Loft us BedBurn, eldest son of tbe late Honorable Algernon Red burn of Muabury, Devonshire, to the earldom of Axminster. The case is a romantic one. It will be remembered that the seventh earl, who was a person of most eccentric habit* and ideas closely bordering upon insanity, disappeared without earning from London society"—and so forth, and so forth. Arnold set down the paper with a deeper curl than usual at the corner of his genial mouth. It "bordered on Insanity,"of oourse, tor a born gentleman who might have spent his time in dining, calling, shooting grouse and running race bone* to deterimne upon doing some useful work In the world I So very undignified 1 Arnold was quite familiar by this time with that curious point of view. It 1* the point of view of nine-tenths of the world in this United Kingdom, but none tbe lea* every time he saw it solemnly committed to print it amused him afresh by It* utter incongruity. The contrast between the reality and the grasp of life be obtained In bis chosen vocation of sailor with the shadowy superficiality of the existence he had led in the days when he waa rtlll Lord Axminster made such criticism *eem to him rather childish and unkindly.But as time went on it became every day clearer and clearer to her that Arnold Willoughby had once more disappeared into space, Just as Lord Axminster had disappeared after the Blanche Middleton incident. It was utterly Impossible for her even to begin trying to find him. Week after week she waited in misery and despair, growing every day more restless under such enforced inactivity and eating her heart out with the sense of Injustice. Not that she blamed Arnold Willoughby. She understood hltn too well and sympathized with him too deeply not to forgive him all, for tout savoir, e'est tout pardonner. He could hardly have drawn any other Inference from Mrs. Hesslegrave's plain words than the inference he actually drew, and Kathleen admitted to herself that if she had really been what Arnold supposed her she would have more than deserved the treatment he had accorded her. It was Just that indeed that made tbe sting of the situation. She would have despised herself for being what she knew Arnold Willoughby couldn't possibly help thinking of her. "Are you interested In the cascV' he asked. had once stood by as he had stood by that day and allowed himself to be solemnly adjudicated as dead he could never again allow himself to be resurrected. He should have spoken then or must forever keep silent. It would be wrong of him—cruel of him, cowardly of him, unmanly of him, to let Algy and Algy's wife tako his place in the world with his full knowledge and assent and then come forward later to deprive them of their privilege. He was now nothing more than "the late Lord Axminster." That at least was his past. His future would be spent as mere Arnold Willoughby.The funeral was held on Sunday, June 16, at the Brick Church. Kevs. Santee and Wagner paid glowing tributes to his memory. His remains were laid to rest In Marcy oemetery. The many expressions of sorrow dropped on that day Indicate the *steem in which hs was held by In the midst of her real grief for a mother she had loved and watched over tenderly it did not strike Kathleen at the time that by these three deaths, following one another in such rapid succession, the only three other de[Doeitories of Arnold Willoughby's secret had !Deen removed at one blow, and that she herself remained now the sole person on earth who could solve the Axminster mystery. But It occurred to her later on, when the right time came, ttnd when she saw what must be done about Arnold Willrmghby's future. FRED PRICE GUII/TY. DROWNED IN HARVEY'S LAKE. As soon as the Ixmdon season was over, however, the Hesslegiaves received an invitation to go down to Norchester on a visit to the Valentines. Mrs. Hesslegrave was highly pleased with this iuvitation. "Such a good place to lDe seen, you know, dear, the Valentines, and a cathedral town tool The bishop and canon are so likely to buy, and even if they don't one feels one's associating with ladies and gentlemen I" So Declared by the Jury In Court Mon- Two Young Men Lose Their Lives in a il*y Morning. Peculiar Manner. The jury in ihD- case of Fied. Price, proprietor of the Grand Central Hotel In Wllkesbarre, who was charged with keeping a bawdy house, after being out over Sunday, sent word to Judge Lynch on Vo.iday at ten o'clock that they oonld not agree on a verdict. The Judge ordered the jury into court, Informed them that court would be In session all of this week and a rDart of next week, and that there would be plenty of time for them to continue their deliberations. The jary returned to the jury room and shortly afterward reported a verdict of guilty. Lewis McCarty, aged nineteen, employed at the Dallas dairy, and Gowen Hurdeman, aged twenty, who kept a small store at Kunkle, were drowned in Harvey's Lake Sunday. The young men went to the lake on horseback. They drove their horses into the water for a swim. Mo- Carty's horse became unmanageable and threw him Into the water. The young man could not swim, and Hnrdsman w«nt to his rescue. McCarty, In his frenzy, grasped Hnrdsman so tightly that both sank to the bottom. At the point where the drowning oocumd the water is quite deep, and dynamite w« used to raise the bodies. Two sticks of dynamite were exploded, and they brought the bodies to the surface the community. tMs fellowship was broken because of His being our sin bearer, as Itseems to have been on the cross when forsaken by God, how (indescribably awful His condition was. Let eaohonesfty, "All for me." Lesson VIII.—Jesus on the Cross (Mark xv, 82-87). Golden text, Rom. v, 8, "While we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Here Is matter enough for a whole review, the canter of the whole Bible story. "His own self bare our sins In His own body on the tree" (I Pet. 11, 24). Numbered with the transgressors, a murderer released because He was sacrificed, the great work of atonement finished. Note His seven sayings on the cross, and remember that this event was the topic of conversation by Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration (Luke ix. 80, 81). A Discord From the Past* The fair girl gazed upon her fiance with love and tenderness. Had Kathleen proved different, he hardly knew whether at the last moment he might not have turned suddenly round and refused so completely to bum his boats, but as it was he was glad of it. Tbe tie to his old life which laid him open to such cruel disallusions as Kathleen had provided for him was now broken forever. Henceforth he would lie valued at his own worth alone by all and sundry. Poor Kathleen shrank from it indeed, for was it not Canon Valentine who indirectly and unintentionally had brought a boat all her troubles by Incautiously letting out the secret of Arnold Willoughby's personality? But she went for all that, for it was her way to sacrifice herself. Many good women have learned that lesson only too well, I fear, and would be all the better for an inkling of the opposite one—that self development is a duty almost as real and as imperative as self sacrifice.

"Farewell, thou who has clung to me all these years, through every vicissitude and joy, my constant solace and comforter.'' His face turned ghastly white. "Alicia I" he gasped, "there is I I— Before long, however, many other things supervened to take Kathleen's mind for the present off Arnold Wllloughby. Spring had set In over sea in England "with its usual severity," and Mrs. Hesslegrave felt it was time to return from the balmy May of Italy to the chilly and gusty month which usurps the same name in our northern climates. So they struck their tents northward. As soon as they returned there were the exhibitions to see about, and the sale of Kathleen's pictures and sketches to arrange for, and the annual trouble of Mr. Reginald's finances with their normal deficit. Mr. Reginald Indeed had been "going it" that year with more than his accustomed vigor. He had been seeing a good deal through the winter of his friend Miss Florrie, and though Miss Florrle for her part had not the slightest Intention of "chucking up her chances" by marrying Mr. Reginald she "rather liked the boy" in a mild uncommercial fashion and permitted him to present her with sundry small testimonials of his ardent affection in the shape of gloves and bouquets, the final honor of payment for which fell necessarily, of course, on poor Kathleen's shoulders, for Miss Florrie was a young lady not wholly devoid of sentiment. She felt that to carry on a mild flirtation with Mr. Reginald, whom she never meant to marry, as an affair of the heart was a sort of sacrificial homage to the higher emotions—an apologetic recognition of those tender feelings which she considered It her duty for the most part sternly to stifle. The consequence was that, while she never for a moment allowed Mr. Reginald to suppose her liking for hint was anything more than purely platonlc, she by no means discouraged his budding affection's floral offerings or refused to receive those daiuty hued six-aud-a-lialfs In butt Parisian kid which Reggie laid upon the shrine as an appropriate offering.

He would be present to hear whether, on the authority of the highest aourt In the realm, he was dead or living. He would watch the last irrevocable nail being knocked into his coffin as Earl of Axmlnster and would merge with the oertainty that some other man now bora the title which once was hia, and that he was legally defunct by deolatoi of parliament. So down to Norchester she went. She had no need now to caution Mrs. Hesslegrave against opening her mouth again about the AxminBtec episode, for the good lady, having once hopelessly compromised herself on that mysterious subject, was so terrified at the result that she dared not •ven broach it afresh to Kathleen. Since the day of Arnold Willoughby's disap]Dearince, indeed, mother and daughter had held their peace to each other on the mattor, and that very silence overawed Mrs. Hesslegrave, who knew from it how deeply Kathleen's heart had been wounded. As for the canon, now Algy had obtained the peerage, it was more than ever his cue to avoid any allusion to the sailor he had so rashly recognized at Venice. He was convinced in his own mind by this time that Bertie Redburnmust have committed some crime, the consequences of which he was endeavoring to shirk by shuffling off his personality, and if that attempt reilonnded to Algy's advantage it was cer- i tainly very far from the canon's wish to J interfere in anv wav with the fnaHHv»'n anonymity. So he held ms peace without a hint or a word. He was willing to let the hasty exclamation wrung from hinj on the spur of the moment at Venice be forgotten if possible by ull who heard it. Mr John P.

Golden text, Luke xxlv, 82, "He opened to us the Scriptures." The thought of the golden text seems to be the main one of this lesson. These disciples were in douVt and darkness because they did not believe the prophets concerning the literal death and resurrection of Israel's Messiah, and many are in darkness today because they do not believe the prophets concerning the return of Christ to sit on David's throne and reign over the houas of Jacob and over the whole earth and to restore all things of which the prophets have spoken.

We have also His loving kindness and gracious provision for their need, with the gentle rebake to Peter. Those whom He calls to feed His sheep and lambs need have no can about their own welfare, for He will surely see to that. He went down into the corridor and saw Algy surrounded by a whole group of younger peers, who were now strolling in for the afternoon's business. They were warmly congratulating him upon having secured the doubtful privileges of which Arnold for his part had been no anxious to divest himself. Arnold was not afraid to pass quite near them. Use had accustomed him to the ordeal of scrutiny. For some years he had passed by hundreds who once knew him in London streets or continental towns, and yet, with the solitary exception of the Hesslegraves—for he did not know the part borne in his recognition by the Valentines—not a soul had ever pierced the successful disguise with which he had surrounded himself. A few years before the same men would have crowded just as eagerly round the seventh earl as round the eighth earl, and now not a word of the last holder of the title—nothing but congratulation for the man who had supplanted him and who stood that moment, smiling and radiant, the center of a little group of friendly acquaintances. As Arnold paused, half irresolute, near the doors of the house a voice that he knew well called out suddenly: "Farewell," ho repeated. "I have' been a fond and doting parent, bringing thee up to the envy of men and the admiration of women. Now, alas!

He was thinking of it to himt-iif as he used to think in the days when he had but to order his carriage and drive down from Eaton place to the precincts of Westminster. What chance would there be for a sailor in his seaman's dress to get into the house by mere asking for a place? Not much, he oonfessed to himself. However, he would try. There was something that pleased him in the idea of the bars ohance that he might be turned back from the doors of the chamber to which lie hereditarily belonged on the day when be was to be declared no longer living. It would be funny if the lords refused to let him bear them pronounce their decision of Me own death—funnier still if they solemnly declared him dead in his living Then, in the silence of the night, the stricken mourner did the departed in a neat parcel and went forth into the darkness, whore, unbeknown to all the world, he buried the friend of years in the bottom of the ash barrel.

The funeral C ocurred Saturday from the family home on LaGrange St. A large concourse of people gathered to show their respect for one who had been for so long a time a resident of this place and so much honored as a citizen. Members of the order of the Sons of St. George and of the Knights of Honor, In both of which Mr. Green was quite prominent, attended the obsequies. The services were held in the Welsh Baptist church.

A number of witnesses were heard, including Shafer, who stuck to his former story, and the whole party waa remanded to jail to await trial. A beautiful girl with 2,000,000 cold mnst have her way. On their first day at Norchester Kathleen went down with their host to the cathedral. There's something very charming and sweet and grave about our Eng lish cathedrals, even after the gorgeous churches of Italy, and Kathleen admired Immensely the beautiful green close, the old world calm, the meditative view from the canon's windows upon the palace gardens. It was all so still, so demure, so peaceful, so English. As they walked round the building toward the great east window the canon was apologetic about his hasty flight from Venice. So he walked by St. Paul'sand the Embankment to Westminster and presented himself at that well known door where onoe—nay, where still—he had by law and descent the light of entry. If sho doesn't, something mnst drop. In this case she would have dropped. She. would have dropped him. "Hullo, Axmlnster, there you arel I've been looking for you everywhere!" Arnold turned half round in surprise. What an unseasonable Interruption I How dreadful that at this moment somebody should have recognized him! And from behind, too, that was the worst, for the speaker was invisible. Arnold hesitated whether or not to run away without answering him. Then with a smile he realized the true nature of his mistake. It is so strange to hear another man called by the name that was once your own 1 But the voice was Canon Valentine's, fresh back from Italy, and the "Axmlnster" he was addressing was not Arnold Willoughby, but the newmade peer, his cousin Algy. Nevertheless the Incident made Arnold feel at once it was time to go. He was more afraid of Canon Valentine's recognizing him thrin of any other acquaintance, for the canon had known him so intimately as a boy and used to siDeak to him so often about that Instinctive trick of his—why, there, as Arnold thought of It he removed his hand quickly from the lock In which it was twined and dodged behind a little group of gossiping peers in the neighborhood just In time to escape the canon's scrutiny. But the canon did not see him. He was too busily engaged in shaking Algy's hand—too full of his salutations to the rising sun to remember the setting one. "Darling, behold!" he cried. "You see the depth of my love, perceiving the extent of my sacrifice. " Will of Mrs. Drlesbach. It waa a private business day, he knew, and their lordships would only be sitting hi committee of privilege. In other words, half a dozen law lords would have oorne down sleepily as a matter of duty to decide the vexed question of the peerage before them. On such occasions the strangers' gallery Is never at all full, and Arnold hoped he might be lucky enough to oorrapt by his eloquence the virtue of the doorkeeper. The doorkeeper, however, waa abaolutely incorruptible, except of course by gold, which was too rare an object now for Arnold to bestow upon him hshttr. "I don't know all the peers by sight," the official said, with some contempt, surveying the newcomer from bead to foot. "There's peers from the country that turn up now and again when there's important bills on that you wouldn't know from fanner*.

The will of the late Hannah Drlesbach, of Exeter township, was filed last |week. She bequeaths to her son, Reuben, lot and house lu Exeter township; to son, Mahlon, lot adjoining with house, etc.; to daughter, Hannah Lopln, other lot in said township; to three daughters, Luolnda, Sarah ttid Lavlna, In equal shares the remaining lot in said township, together with house, etc. All the coal underlying the land is bequeathed equally among all her children and grandchild, Archie Drleebaoh. Mahlon and Oliver Drlesbach are named executors. The property Is valued at about $3,000. "Thank you, dear," sho exclaimed. "I had only one place to kiss you when you had those horrid whiskers on, and now I have a dozen. " Sho looked up into his eyes gratefully. So when poor Kathleen returned to London, distracted and burning to discover Arnold Wllloughby's whereabouts, the very first thing to which she was compelled to turn her attention was the perennial and ever deepening entanglement of Master Reggie's budget. As usual In such cases, however, Reggie was wholly unable to account arithmetically for the disappearance of such large sums of money. He could but vaguely surmise with a fatuous smile that "a jolly good lnmp of It" had gone in cab fares. He said in substance: "In the light of God's word, there is hope for lost men In Jesus Christ, and for them there is no other hope. It Is Jesus only. This scripture comes to me In the deatn of our friend and brother, Jonn P. Green. It has been my privilege to know him intimately for a quarter of a century and many of you have known him longer than I have. He needs no eulogy from me. He was an Indus trlous, honest, upright Christian man. He w*s recognized as such by all who knew him. H1b hope for the llfa to come rested on the work of Christ.

He was a careful student of the Bible and of systematic theology. But his hope of eternal life, the anchor of his soul, living and dying, was Jesns only. He magnified the sovereignty of God and 'the grace of God' in the work of redemption But few men with whom I have come In close oontact as a pastor, have Impressed me more with the power of a living, intelligent faith In the Son of God. He had little to say of himself, of what he had done or of what he knew, but he 'gloried In the cross of Christ.

"Well, I allow the perfumes," Kathleen answered, bridling up in defense of her beloved Venice, "but as to the typhoid I have my doubts. The sea seems to purify it.

When Paddy Carroll, the well known pugilist, came ont of a restaurant on Dearborn street the other day a little man standing before the window, wearing a Fedora hat and a wistful expression, attracted his attention. The big hearted sporting man stopped short, took the toothpick from between his teeth and looked long and earnestly at the stranger, who was gazing intently in the window. Then he walked to the edge of the sidewalk and turned to see the object of his attention. There was a big sign in the window which read this way: encouragement His coming again, according to Acta i, 11.

Arnold strolled out somewhat saddened. If ever in his life he felt inclined to be cynical, it must at least be admitted he had much just tlien to make him so. It was all a sad picture of hnman fickleness. And then the bitter thought that Kathleen had been doi ag just like all of these was enough to soar any man. Arnold turned to leave the house by the strangers' entrance. In order to do so he had to pass tho door of the peers' robing room. As he went by it a fat little old gentleman emerged from the portal. It was Lord Helvellyn, who had passed him to the strangers' gallery. But now the little man looked at him with a queer glearp of recollection. Then a puzzled expression came over bis sallow face.
