often discarded tho stick, and using her
claw-like fingers. Her bent nnd bar
tered old figure was trmulnns with
excitement, nnd she kept, np a mumbled
cnnverealinn with herself.
Drawlii near. I spr.kn to her. nnd
she Matted, r.il'ing herself, and slmk
Iti2 from her eyes some gray locks
which bad fallen over them.
"You are busy," I said; "what Is It
nil nbnut?"
"I'm a-lonkln for a Jewel honey."
"A Jewel 1" I echned, thinking the
rid woman wandering In her mind, he
ennop of tho weakness of old age. ''A
Jewel'ln a heap of dirt I"
"Yin, bless yon, they do find 'em
here sometimes. Lenstwnvs, Big Jim
found a rare diamond onet."
" A nd how long hnve you been search
ing?" I nked.
"Oh, not long; only these, three
months goln' on four. I onmn ev ry
day and hunt a spell, and (llen'Igo
home and rest mv old bones."
"Avd von really think yon wll' find
a lewef?" I said to her; pltv. amuse
ment and Incredulity all lilendlng In my
voice.
"For sure T will, honey; I'm Just
bound to hunt till Blt it,"
I looked at the eager, tremulous old
creatine, spending ,her little all of
strenglli, In the vnln, hope; of .finding
noma precious' thing. Should I make
any effort to reach, her higher nature?
Could t be pnssl'.ile that she would un
derstand an appeal to per soul ?
Whln J hesitated, I was condemned;
nnd there came .to ,my listening, throb
bing heart, borne on the stillness of tho
June day, these words; "Out' of the
dross 1"
'lllear ma I" I said to tho woman;
"I want to tU' you about a Jewel that
Is 'of more value than any' that has over
yet'been found. Ono such as your old
eyes have never seen, nor your old
heart ever dreamed of."
"Yes, yes, honey, I hear you. Tell
me about It."
Then I spoko that tallsmanie name
Jesus! And unfolded slowly nnd care
fully the whole btessed plan of salva
tion, which Included'even such as she.
"Where Is he?" she asked, dreamily.
"I think' I kind o' befrd o' hlra onct
before."
"Mo Is here," I replied.
She started and looked about on
every side.
Now was the time to fix tho Impres
sion so that tho work mlghtlw perfect.
rsent up a sudden' -prnycr for wisdom
and 6trenctli. which urongntnn imme
diate answer; and then, with a' delicate
choice of words, so that all might bo
simple to that simple comprehension, I
explained how Christ might uo near us,
even In our hearts by fallh, while we
could not see him n the flesh. I told
her how tlie ulngie. sincere cry of a
slmior would bring him to the sinner's
side, quick to forgive and quick to com
fort.
"Honey. It's all very nice to talk this
era way when you've got good clothes
and'R, plenty to cat. Butilook at me
onlv rags to cover me, and my old
bones-all twisted with rheumatlr."
"Were vou always so-poor?"
"No; time was when 1 was n likely
ennnnh woman: but I not Into hart com
nan v. nnd tlion I kind o' sloughed off.
But if I could find a Jewel in tills oro
heari. why I'd git all right agliu"
"Ti'llme, was Ulg Jim all rlghtnftor

She looked nt me suspiciously for
moment. "Now how did you know
that Jim dldn' do well? Ho didnit do
well. Hint's a Iftct. He sold that dia
mond and cot lots o mosey;-but ho
drunk hard aud quarreled, and at last
he was worse nft than ever; hadn't a

I hurried off, hoping I was not too
late.
When I entered tho cellar tho first
words which greeted nn were these :
"I've give It np. I M'nn'l hunt for It
no more, I don't keer much, anyhow.
ItWouldn't linve done me much good.
Big Jim's didn't do him no good."
"Liz," I said, gently, "there wasan
other search 1 told you of. Have you
thought about that 7 Havo you been
looking for Jesus?"
To my surprise she nodded her head.
"O, tell me," Liz," I cried, "have
you found tho Savloui ?"
"It's mighty strange to me," she an
swered, speaking feebly but distinctly,
" but last night, adayln' here, I wa
kind o' gropln' In the dark, llko, to see
If I could seo him you told me about.
I felt as how I'd Hkn to seo Him, and
tell Him old Liz wa sorry she'd been
slch a hard case, when all nt onet it
seemd as If somebody t0ck hold of my
hand, and 'Here I am, LUP It
wes dark, hut T seen It was Jesus; swn
nim In mv heart, 'the way ynti told mo
about. Ind before I knnwed where I

then I Jest cried like I ain't done since
I was a child '
Wl)en I could look un, for my tears,
T found the old woman's f.tco white,
but shining like nn angel's."
"You'll stay by me?" she said.
"Yes, to tho lnt, Liz."
"And you'll tell 'em that I got moro
than T was a-lnokln for. I wna-lookln'
for a stone and He give mo bread
bread 1"
When tho end came, Liz was Joyous.
I witnessed ono of the rarest, victories I
havo ever seen. 7ut from the miretnd
filth of her old life, tho new nnesemed
to rise like a pure white shaft, pointing
to heaven. And when finally the eyes
closed, I was called upon to rejoice that
out of the dross had risen a spirit
which had, was'ied Its robes and mado
them white In the blood of the Lamb.
Oh t ye who are often discouraged In
your work, tako heart I Over nnd over
again I think I would havo failed and
given np, If old Liz's own example had
not chained me.' If -he could toil on
month after month In her almost Im
poss ble search after a perlsl lug thing,
should I bo less zealous and eager alier
herioul? And If Liz could bear the
heat of the summer sun, and the stifling
odor ol the dust heaps, should I, with
7hrlst In my heart tns.italnme, shrink
from iho vileness of her surroundings.
Truly, Liz taught me, while I tried to
teaeli her.
Once morn, be encouraged-! Search
deep down In tho ilni's. nnd you will
bring up Jewels thatj, Christ, will wear
upon his foreheal through eternity.
