Mrs. Nottleton, ileitis of n clioeiful
disposition, limited hur ease ngulnst
life to a mild complnlnt thnt It wns not
ns amusing as It might be, It was not a
tiagedy to her, but a comedy, onI the

she was awuie that she hei self had

Mi. Nuttleton. Yet, though Mi. Net

life had not Impioved ninth. It was
t still a little dull, and she, of couise,
still eiy soiry foi her husband, al
though slightly lesentful that every
body should consider her gilef as no

pietty and meiiy, she felt sometimes
thnt her gilef was creditable, and not
meiely pioper. Theie was something
annoying In the way In which her lela

Hei biother-ln-law Fred was an ex

such gaiety as fell to her lot, and for

Rage should meet them at their nightly

lest the luggage should fail them; that

had not come Into their heads.
Such an occunence had, however
suggested Itself to Tate. On the even
ing of the second day, about o'clock
when rain was falling heavily, the
loads turning to bogs, and they still,
as thoy, believed, ten or twelve miles
fiom their destination, a complication
of misfortunes oveitook Fied's bicycle
Suddenly it appealed to do and sutler
rveiv thing which bicycles should not.
The result was that Fred was thiown
into a ditch, and the machine Itself
settled down on the load in a pathetic
and obvious helplessness Maicia
having sin v eyed it for a minute, felt
inclined to ciy; she was so wet.
"You must tnke mine," she said with
a shiver. "Hide on to the inn and send
a caniage for me. It'll only take about
about two horns" She endeavoied by
her tone to lmpait an unical shortness
to this space of time.
"You'd catch' your death," said Tred
In a contemptuous affection. "You
must ride on, and I'll follow with the
lieastly thing. The trap'll meet me.
The load's quite straight, jou can't
miss It. What? Look odd you ai

Mrs. Nettleton decided to risk the

that anvbody could be stupid enough
to hold any other. She bote to the left,
then she lode on for a gieat many
miles, or so It seemed. It lalned
hatder than evet, she dripped from
head to foot; mud slushed obc-ut the

icluctant wheels of her bicycle. She
dismounted, deciding that it had been
a mistake to foice hei mothei -In-law
Into an approval of this mad jaunt.
"1 could ciy," she declaied, as she
shook herself and flt the spiay from
her clothes Hying lound hei.
In dogged obstinacy she began to
walk -up a long, steep hill, diagglng
the bicycle with hei. She seemed p to
get no neaier the top; the bicycle ap
pealed to engage Itself In a peislstent
ertort to loll down to the bottom. She
lemembeied with vain leeiet the das
when she considered bicycling an un
ladylike puisult. Piejudlces aie no
doubt pioperly condemned, but they
savo many a disenchantment.
'Thank heaven," said Maicin,
"theie's a house' I don't suppose it's
an Inn, but if they're Cluistlans they'll
diy me and send something to pick up
ried"
The house to which she lefened stood
a little way back fiom the load. At
the veiy Hist glance It had an air of
comfoit, ot waimth, of a thing even
moie precious at the moment absolute
divness. Marclo. pushed on at a
qulckei pace and turned in thtough the
gate. No dog balked Inhospitably,
she felt as though she would be wel
come. "After all," she leilected, "I'm rathei
a nice peison to tuin up out of the
night like this!" Hut a levul-lon of
feeling followed quickly. "What a
flight I must look! I hope theie won't
be a paity."
Leaning her bicycle against the door
post, she lang the bell. The pause
that followed plunged hor Into a nei
vous and apologetic condition; the con
vIlIIoii of filehtfulness grew stionger,
her filnge hung In damp stilngs, her
sltfrt clung lound her In an afloctlonate
and unbecoming manner; she felt sine
that hei face was streaky. And it
would undoubtedly look queei that she
should anlve alone These ciieum
stances l educed her to u state of In
tense embaiiassment. which was not
lessened when the door opened and le
vealed a young and good-looking man
in evening dress.
"Is youi master at home?" she bluit
ed out.
"Foi a time I am my own niastei,"
was the answei, given in smooth pol
ished and pleasant tones "May 1
ask "
"Oh, I'm .o soiry. I I thought
oh, well, I mean, one of oui bicycles
has bioken down and I'm Mis Nettle
ton, you know, and I've lost my wa;
and Fred's somewheie back on the
toad, and oh, deal, I'm so wet"
The young man smiled veiy pleasant

"Rplieve me, 1 shall be delighted to as
sist vou. You must come In and get

lAml vnnMl cnnrl fnt ?"
"I'll send tot our husband as soon
as 1 can."
Maicia smiled; It was veiy amusing
that Tied should be taken for hei hus
band, a boy like Fred! Hut she did
not undeceive her host. Peihups It was
as well as it was. She would tell him
latei on, when Fred came. Meanwhile
the little deception was lather fun.
"This Is youis?" the young man
asked, laving his hand on the blcvcle
"I'd better bilng it In, hadn't I?" He
brought it into the hall, and aftei an
examination of it, looked up smiling us
he observed: 'This one seems light
enough, Mis. er Nettleton."
He seemed pleased to see her. Not
hui prise which she had anticipated,
not amusement which she had
di earned, but simple giatlflcatlon in
splied the smile which lit up his hand
some featuies as he usheied hei Into
the hall. The house was delightfully
warm and diy. Marcla blghed with
contentment.
"It's kind of you," Bhe murmured
giatefully with a glance at his face.
"I'm delighted," said he. "The trap
shall go and fetch Ml. Nettleton as
soon as possible." He smiled pleas
antly, repeating, "as soon as possible,"
Then he added: "Meanwhile you must
change your things."
"Oh, but I've no luggage."
"That's all right," ho assured her.
"There's everything ou wunt here."
"lie's mauled," Mnicla decided in n
satisfaction just vaguely touched with
disappointment. Halment was ns

They passed Into the dining loom.
The table was spiead, places fol two

WHAT A HOLY MAN SID.
"What a shame," exclaimed a holv man
of old, "to be the soft and luxurious mem
ber of a Heud that was clowned with
thorns!"
In Lent espitiillv, when we commemo

us we have follow id In theli steps, ale to
be of an weight, we must, If we would
glow In glace and In the knowledge and
love of God, set oui selves to moitlf the
llish with Its afleitlons and lusts. It is
b the piactlce of self-denial with regaid
to things that tna be Innocent that we
gain the powei of self-control, and aie en
abled at once to sa no when tempted to
some unlawful action
It Is not of course the body only tint

a unveisil self-denial, including the dis
cipline of oui woids, oui tempeis, our
thoughts, oui will We must seek b) de
giees to bring eei thought Into eaptHI
t to the obedience df Chi 1st.
Repentance Is the gient woik of Lent.
"Tuin e even to Me," snlth the Loid,
"with all oui heait, and with fasting,
and with weeping, and with mourning"
(Joel II 12). '
"Seek e the Lord while He mnv bo
found, calle upon Him while He Is neni;
let the wicked foi sake his wu, and the
unilghteous man his thoughts; and let
him retain unto the Loid, and He will
have meicy upon him; and to our God,
for He will abundantly pardon" (Isa. llv.
B, 7).
WORK Or REPENTANCE.
The woik of repentance In its several
paits of self-ex imluatlon, sorrow foi sin,
confession of sin, amendment and satis
faction, cannot bo better summed up
than in the weight words of the exhor
tation in piepaiatlon foi Hoi Commun
ion In the piati book. Those who would
ilnd upceptimce with God are therein hidden-
"Flist, to examine 'oui lives and
conveisatlons by the mle of God's com
mandments; nnd wherelnsoevei e shall
petceive ouiselves to have offended
tlthei b will, wold, oi deed, theie to be
wail oui own sinfulness, and to con
fess yourselves to Almighty God, with
full puipoo of nmendment of life. And
if e shall peiceive om oftences to be
such as -are not onl against God, but
also against our nelghbois; then o shall

QUESTION TO ASK
What evil habit, atk oui self, am I
specially to gi apple with this Lent"
What vlitue In paitleulni am I to culti
vate; The Seven Capital Sins (so called be
cause undei one oi othei of these heads
of evil ull possible sins whether ot
thought, woid oi deed, can bo classified)
are bometlmes moie helpful than the Ten
Commandments as an outline for sclf-ex-umiuatlon
becuiiMO we uic thus enabled
to tiaee the sinptoms of evil (condemned
b God's loinmands) to the loots of ll
fiom which the spilng 1'iide, Env,
Anger me moie especially the woiks of
the devil, Covttousness, the not Idly sin;
and Lust, Glutton, Sloth, the sins of the
flesh The capital sins aie the develop
ment of the thiee-fold loot of evil, the
lust of the tlesh, the lust of the eye, and
th pride of life, which diaw aw a fiom
the love of God (1 John ii 10)
Tho knowledge of oui sins must bo fol
lowed by a humble Confession ot them
befoie Almlght God, with a tiuo soiiow
for the olfenee we have thereb) commit
ted ngulnst Illm, and a slnceie puipose of
amendment. Theie can haidl be u bet
tei form of confession, If one be needed,
than the geneial confession In the seivlee
foi holy communion, If wo say it in the
singular number, slowly, and pausing at
tho end of each clause, to tecull our own
speclul tiansgiesslous, und to let the
words we tipeat find a real echo In our
hearts.
Concerning the special further confes
sion of our sins to God In the plesence of
His pi lest, the txhoitntlou which has
been nlieady quoted thus concludes, "lie.
cuue It Is leqlislto that no man should
come to the hol communion, but with a
full tt list In God's ineio, and with n
quiet conscience, theiefoie, If there be
any of ou, who b this means of pilvnte .
petsoual tepcntiinei'l cannot quiet his
own lonsclente hetcln, but lequlreth fiu-
ther comrort or counsel, let him come to
me the' parish ptlestl, oi to some other
minister of God's Woid, and open his
gilef; Hint he may receive such godly
counsel and advice us may ten! to tho
quieting ot his conscience, and the 10
lnovlng of all scruple and doubtfulness "
LET NONE SHRLN'IC,
Lot nono whosu consciences are tiou
bled, either with the burden of past sin
or with evil habits from which they Ilnd
themselves unnblo to break free, shrink
fiom seeking the help nnd assistance cf
those whom (as Rich ml Hooker puts It)
"oui Loid Jesus Chi 1st hath left In Ills
chuich to be spiritual and ghostly physi
cians, tho guides and pistols of ledtimed
souls, whoso olllce doth not only consist
In geneial poisunslons unto nnieiidiiicnt
of life, but nlso In the pi hate, piutlcu
hir cuieof diseased minds"
The winging home to the Individual
soul of God's pinioning won! mill be ot
unspeakable comfoit to tho penitent,
whllo tho petsoual guidance of one ne
customod to deal with spliltunl things
may bo of great vnlue to n soul In snug
gling against temptations.
Among "works of repentance." by no
means forget the necessltv of teparatlon
for wiong done and of the forgiveness of
Injuiles siiffiied, If we are to bo oui
sehes at pence with God. Take caie
thnt ou Incur not the lebuke of the
prophet, "Behold, e fast foi stiife and
debate, nnd to smite with the list cf
wickedness" (Isa. hill )). Put nway In
Lent tho leaven of malice and wicked
ness that you may cclebiate the Paschal
feast with the unlcnvened biend of sin
ce! Ity and tiuth (1 Cor v. S)
Almsgiving Is another special duty of
Lent. Some of the mono which is saved
fiom luxuries, fiom amusements, and
from dress, should be devoted to pious
and charitable puiposes Some of the
lime which Is rescued fiom society ma
be well emploed In works of meicy und
kindly olllccs to those lu spliltunl and
temporal need. "Hieak off th sins by
ilghteousuess, and thine Iniquities by
shewing meic to the pool" (Dan v. 27)
THIS HAVE I CHOSEN.
"Is not this the fast that I h ive cho-ien.
snlth the Lord, to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heaw bin dens,
and to let the oppressed go flee, and that
e bleak evet oke? Is It not to dc.nl
the poor that aie cast out of thv hous
when thou si est the naked, that thou
cover him, and that thou hide not thself
fiom thine own flesh ?"(Isa. hill C, 7)
We ma think of Lent as being spent
undei the teaching of St. John the Bnp
tlst Flist he pleaches tepentance, draw
ing the people aftei him Into the wilder
ness, bilnglng home the conviction of sin,
leading to confession, and enjoining woik3
meet foi tepentance Then to those thus
piepated the Baptist pointed out Jesus
ns the Lamb of God who tnketh aw a tht
sin or the wotld (St Matt. Ill, St. Luke
ill, St. John I 23) Having In the eaillei
weeks of Lent endeavoied to deepen oui
icpentance we, too, In Pnsslon-tlde aie
pointed to the Savloi and His cross, that
we ma behold at once sin's woik and its
iemed. It Is at the foot of the cross
that tho great lessons of the Christian
life aie to be learned Remembei that
the Sou of God was given to be both a
sacrifice foi sin and tlso an example of
godl life. Siek more tilth to die with
Him that with and In Him jou inn
ilse to newness of life.
'lhieo dangeis we ought spoclall to
guatd against, lest wo lose the benefit or
Lenten observutue.
Avoid formulltv , vvhatevei measure of
sttlctnes ou ma be uble to adopt, be
real.
Avoid almlessness, bo definite In Otit
puipose and endeavoi"
Avoid gloominess; theie should be a
ti lie Jo even In penitence, since in peni
tence we ate tetuinlng to Him Whose
love bus boine with us and lecalls us
to Hlmslf.
The end of this, as of eveiy, command
ment is chat It, the love of God above all
on account of Ills own Intilnsie wotth,
nnd of oui brethien foi His suke, out of
a puie heait, cleansed by giace, and a
