"Oh, Dr. Armathwaite, how do yon do? I'm so glad you bare come. What a lucky thing you hadn't left Brankaomt before my messenger reached youl" And, apparently exhausted by tha effort of shaking handa and Inviting him to a chair beside her, she drew a long sigh, and let her arms fall at her sides with the abandonment of utter lassitude. "I feel just like that," said aha, raising her blue eyea and dropping tha white lids orer them again immediately, to indicate the completeness of the physical prostra tion from which she was suffering. lie felt her pulse aa a matter of form, and could almost have laughed at tha barefaced nature of the fraud ahe was carrying on ao beautifully. Luckily, he was sitting with bia back to the light, which fell full on the lady, so that any Indiscreet Ineredulit -nuU:li aris'it peep out In his face could not be noticed by hi Interesting patient. "I see," he said, with becoming gravky, "Your case ia Tery serious." Neat little hypocrite aa ahe was, this decision was too much for her equanimity. She opened her eyes to their full extent, and gazed at him with that child-like expression which only blue eyes hare, and . asked him in a soft tone of astonishment what he thought waa tbe matter with her. "That is what I want to know," he an swered. "It must be mental trouble, and of some Tery acute kind, aince it can pros trate yon ao entirely while your phyaicaj health is perfectly good." She lowered her eyes and sighed. "I have a great many worries, and troubles, too," she said, "but, of course, I couldn't think of troubling a doctor with them." "At any rate, your gaiety became you ao well that it is difficult to believe it was not natural to you." "I suppose,' she said, with a pretty mournfulness, "that some people think I have everything I can wish for; no doubt I have everything that some people could j wiah for. I have a great hideous house that some people might like, and a hus band whom I made no objection to when they married me to bim, and whom I've only one objection to now, but that one objection is fatal." A pause, during which Armathwaite still, while maintaining an attitude of respectful attention, asked no questions. She continued with a weary aigh. "He treats me like a child! I never have bis confidence; I never have hia trust." Armathwaite was astonished. Remem bering the way in which Lord Kildonan bad spoken of her, had treated her; tbe friendly welcome he had extended to him self, a stray acquaintance whom Ludy Kildonan had picked up in a particularly easy fashion; the kindness he had shown to the playfellow of ber childhood; this charge seemed not only without founda tion, but preposterous. "I think." he said gently, but with some decision, "that here is an ailment I can remove. If one of your trout s is the belief that your husband does not trust you in the fullest manner, I can relieve your mind by assuring you of my own knowledge that for this particular fear there is not the slightest foundation. Vju don't understand," she said, turn-. Ing in her chair so that her great blue I "That'a very hard, certainly," he said, eyes, which shone with a radiance that I "You see.

But when he decided on Lord Kildonan, who bad no money, or scarcely any, of hia own. for my husband, papa was so delight ed to have found such a pearl among men 1 as be considered him to be, that be left the estates to bim for life in trust for me and mv children, if I should have any. So that, you see, I was made dependent on j my husband for every penny of my own money." "But surely Lord Kildonan lets you have everything you want?" "Yes, like a child for whom yon buy a half-crown doll, though you wou't let ber have half a crown to buy a doll with. He bus too much conscience to refuse to get me anything I want, but his Scotch instincts of carefulness over tbe funds will never allow bim to put the money into my own hands and say. There, dear, tuy what you have a fancy for.' Well, I dare ay this sounds only like a trifling grievance after all, but it's galling, in expressibly galling, when it goes on duy after day, and month after month, over the smallest expense, and when you know that after all it's your own money." Armathwaite was obliged to admit th.it it was an irritating thing, and be saw by he puckers of annoyance and almost of hame in the lady's beautiful face that In her pampered life this restriction at tained the importance of a grievous afflic tion. "But there is one lucky thing," he said, consolingly, "and that Is, that living up here as you do, the hardship of not being able to buy anything yourself cannot press very h.irdly upon you, aa there ia nothing to buy." At last he had touched tbe mainspring of all this woe. Sbe sprang up in her chair, the lace falling on on to her shorn- Hers ana tne goiuen nair loosened aDoui her face, which had Instantly become con- J vuisco wiin excitement ana inuiKoauou. i "No," she cried passionately, her bosom heaving and her eyes flashing. "Nothing to buy. nothing to see, nothing to do. And that is the life I am condemned to, chained to a man who doesn't understand that I am active, pleasure-loving, young. I can't read. I can't comfort myself with philology and all that stuff. I want life and movement round me, not thia dreary lake and these stifling hills. I shall bnek away some day and become aa actress, or a governess, or a telegraph clerk; any thing la better than thia hateful stagnant existence. It ia like being buried alive with a corpse." She aat np, trembling and panting from the effects of her vehemence; no longer looking at him, bnt staring before her with such fierce yearning in her eyea that it was evident ahe waa agitated by a very I lenulne and consuming passion. Whet ti r it wu merely a vaarue longing for ex- sad reason to doubt her absolute sincerity watched ber with wonder and cariosity, Never had her brilliant beauty looked more dazzling, more Irresistible. The cold white winter sunshine could show no de fect In ber exquisite fairness, no fault in her graceful form. Before Armathwaite could move, there ram. a film over bia eyes, and he saw, not the beautiful actress before him, with her Berce lamentations and sensational threats, but a f"r young face worn be fore its time, tesuler eyea full of sweet ness and sorrow, a mouth on the soft lips at which still lingered the trembling words: "Oh, Ned, I cannot bear thia; send me away!" The vision faded at ones, bnt It left him cold and calm, confronting Lady Kildonan with the gravest of faces, tbe coldest of manners. "What is the matter with you? What are you looking at 7' asked she. Impa tiently, noting with surprise the great and sudden alteration In hiin. He had turned away to the window. "1 am looking." he said, "at Mr. Croe mont; he is coming np to the house at this moment. And I was thinking how strangely unpopular thia beautiful place la with you ladies, or Mrs. Crosmont seems quite aa anxious to go away from It aa you are, and certainly, to Judge by her looks, with much greater reason." CHAPTER XII. Lady Kildonan abut her pretty teeth with a very ferocious snap. He could see that she waa furiously angry, and, feel ing that his presence waa by no means soothing to her, he plcted op one of bis gloves, which had fallen to the floor, and prepared to take hia leave, satisfied that she would not ask him to prescribe for imaginary ailments again. But she was too angry to be wise. Instead of letting him go with a few curt words, according to her first impulse, she stopped hiiu when he was at tbe door by saying: "1011 are a great admirer of Mrs. Croa- mont's. I see. "I was considering Mrs. Crosmont from the poiut of view of a doctor, rather than an acquaintance. She looks ill, nnhappy." "And I do not. So my troubles get no sympathy." "From the doctor's point of view. no. But as a man who has been received by you and Lord Kildonan in the kindest manner, I " "Oh, yes, or, yes, of course. Ton are overwhelmed with concern for Lord and Lady Kildonan'a mutual happiness. But yo'i would like to prescribe for Mrs. Cros mont." "I should. Indeed." "And pray, as a doctor or an acquaint ance, would you see any fault in the stolid unconcern with which she bears ber husband's difficulties, difficulties which drive me, who am merely hia old friend, nearly mad with desperation to think that, with all the money which is nomi nally mine, I haven't ao much as a five pound note really my own, to help the poor boy out of hia troubles?" She was passionately in earnest, most sincerely and heartily distressed. Arma thwaite was touched. She really did care for this man, then. "Stolid unconcern" j were furious words to use In connection with Alma Crosmont; but he let that pasa. I believe, but I know that he ia even fa natically scrupulous about bia employer's. Why, be won't even let me have a fire- pound note if I beg for It, when he's got the rents in his own handa ready to be paid into the bank at Liverpool! Armathwaite was rather puzzled. "One would have thought a man might be aafc from the speculation maula here," he said. "Ob, people send round prospectuses of mines and companies and things, you know; and then, 1 suppose, the poor boy gets seized with tbe idea that be cat make bis fortune in a week." "But don't you use your influence to persuade him that It is foolish?" "Ob, my influence, what is it? I be lieve his wife encourages bim In these things, and that, of course, weighs down the scale." The young doctor began to look more In credulous than ever. Lady Kildonan, who hnd not sat down again, but waa wander ing restlessly about tbe room, stopped and thrust out her hands before her. "ljouk" she cried. "If I really had any influence over bm, ought not this to be enough to restrain him the fact tbat I have sold the very rings off my fingers to help him? I tell my husband I don't care to wear jewelry he thinks what trinkets I once had are locked np In my dressing case. But they are not. They were sold long ago, to pay Ned's debts." "But how did you manage to dispose of them without your husband's knowl edge?" "Oh, Ned goes to Liverpool once a month, sometimes oftener, on my hus band's business. He sold them." "To pay bis own debts! It was an in famous thing to do! ..jont tell him I told you." she Bald fr;Khteied by his tone. "It Is all right now i a,Bare TOu it Is all right now. 1 .oM TO tnj to show that 1 am not the heartless creature you seemed to think me. But now, now can't you under stand bow it ia I want to get away, out of this wicked deceit I am forced to prac tice, thia life of little lies and excuses, which makes me ashamed to look my hus band in the face? In a few minutes he will be here. He alwaya comes to me be fore eleven to wish me good morning. Can't you persuade him that if he would only take me away somewhere, to Paris or the south of France, he would get quite well and strong himself, and I should eat and aleep again as well aa ever, and we could come together again, and end by be ing a tegular Darby and Joan." "If yon can't persuade him to do what you wish. Lady Kildonan, I am afraid nobody can. Aa for your husband's health, I seriously think you have tbe care of that lo vour own bands. If you wee to take bim with you on yonr long drives, it would sot. as you fear, try bim toe much, but would, on the contrary, braes him op and tire him just sufficiently to make him too sleepy for that killing and unnecessary night work he is so much at tached to." Lady, Kildonan could not conceal het distaste to this proposal. "Realty," she said, with Irritation, on would think I was to blame for hia faacj .to work at night I" "Oh, no, I am merely showing yon how to cure him of it. If yon care and I am aure you do care. Lady Kildonan to be gin the cure by taking your husband foi m long drive every day three hours at the least, I promise you I will do my best to induce bim to finish his cure at souu foreign springs." She seemed to be balancing the future gain with the present sacrifice. "Springs!" she echoed at last with a sigh. "You don't mean some place when there is just a pump and an inn? Be cause one might aa well be here." "No, I don't," amid Armathwaite, smil ing. "I mean a place with big hotels, and bands, and balls, and a promenade which ahowa off pretty dresses and theli wearers." "Agreed!" ahe said, hastily, and shr gave him her hand to close tbe bargain just as a. alow rat-tat waa heard on her door. She ran to open It herself, and re ceived ber hnsband with an effusiveness which, to Judge by the flush it brought to hia plain face, waa as unusual as it wa evidently welcome. He took off hia spec tacles aa she led bim forward, leaning on his arm with a lithe, half-caressing incli nation which bad tbe appearance of ren dering him stiff and constrained, but which caused hia gray eyea to glow with tender light aa he glanced shyly down up on her. To Armathwaite, aa they advanc ed, they made a beautiful picture until Lord Kildonan withdrew-his right band from his wife to shake bands with the doctor, snd lightly patted her shoulder with bis left as be did so. At tbe affec tionate touch. Lady Kildonan gave a slight but malicious grimace and a shrng of the insulted shoulder, both directed to Armathwaite and unseen by her husband. In an instant the young man's admiration turned to disgust and repulsion as surely as if he himself had been tbe victim of the heartless trick; all tbe falsehood that disloyal women can use to their masters seemed to be embodied in that hypocriti cal caress, and he felt on the instant in arms for his sex, the more that he felt in clined to doubt whether a few minutes previously he himself had not had a nar row escape. The rugged face of the el derly Scotchman, beaming with honesty and kindliness, seemed to him, in this new frame of mind, to show not only more at traction, but absolutely more beauty, than the fair features of a wife who could be indifferent to so much affection. LoVd KildonVn's one thougnCon finding the doctor so early with his wife, was anxiety lest she should have been ill with out letting him know. She told him, sink ing again into her chair by the lire, that it was nothing more serious than her old enemy, sleeplessness; that she bad sent for lr. Armathwaite as soon as-ohe was up, for fear be should be leaving Brank snme, and tbat he had given her a pre scription which he said would do her good. Armathwaite, who feared hia interest ing patient would take advantage of hia conditional promise to try to extort from him a more thoroughgoing adhesion to her pet plan, now for the second time prepared to take leave, and succeeded in getting half way to the corridor, when Iord Kildonan overtook him. This was just what the. doctor bad expected and feared. "She has sent me away," said Lord Kildonan, rather ruefully; "I offered to read to her, when she jumped up and said she was going for a walk. She says my accent spoils any literature; and it'a too late to get over that now. Come Into my study. Dr. Armathwaite; I should like to apeak to you." Uathcr reluctantly the yonng man fol lowed him down a narrow private stair case at tbe end of the corridor, and inte bia darkened room. (To be continued.) Oo We Nre1 New Whit House? "Much has been said and written about the inconveniences and Inade quacy of the Executive Mansion, and many plans have been proposed to rem edy its real or imaginary defects," writes ex-President Harrison in the Ladies' Hume Journal. "Some have proposed to abandon tbe bouse as a place of residence, to give it wholly over to official uses, and to build a new home for tbe President;. others suggest to make tbe home strictly' and solely a place of residence, by removing the of fices to a suitable new building.

With the of fices out of It, some better provision for tbe accommodation of tbe domestics, and another large room, with a suit able exit, to relieve the overcrowded receptions, the house would be ade quute and altogether creditable." niX Prlnrs) for Stamps.

Practiced la Cnba. The tragic taking off of Senor Cano ns, the Premier of Spain, cannot blur he historical fact that be was tbe mon ter who inspired the barbarities in 3uba. He was the archfiend behind Ue butcher Weyler, and supported hlui n nil UU atrocities toward tbe Cuban patriots. The undoubted fact that Can va acted only in accordance with his training and his conception of patriot ism does not change the nature of his conduct nor ameliorate its horrid sav sery. He waj the Instigator of the most iwful scheme of wholesale assassina lou the civilized world has seen for years lu a civilized land, and the great strength of his character and his domi nation of his official associates serve to render his cruel nature more conspicu ous. There has never been an attempt to deny that Weyler In his present po sition has been a creature and tool of Canovas. It has even been hinted that tbe two bad some sort of secret busi ness alliance, possibly in connection with a division of spoils. But the bus iness considerations are not niaterial to outside spectators of the Cuban trag edy. The fact that Weyler was the agent who executed the decrees of Can ovas, bis chief, is the fact that stands out with awful plainness from the rec ord of this conflict There have been the most serious .omplnints against Weyler from his troops, from bis officers, from tbe more liumnrjo Spanish citizens in navnna, from thousands of prominent citizens in Madrid, and these complaints have ueeu of such magnitude that any man less strongly fortified in his position must have been overwhelmed. But Weyler has withstood them all and baa nut aim tod by one jot his policy of in humanity. There is nothing of Inher ent strength in Weyler to justify such successful resistance. He baa not been the man of power who has disconcert ed bis foes. Cauovas alone ha. been bis bulwark and to Cauovas alone does be owe immunity from the wrath of bis outraged people. Bue there is a worse phase yet of the situation. Canovas has not only pro tected Weyler but he has been his spon sor In a way that shows that on Ca uovas has rested the chief responsibil ity for the cruelties In Cuba. Canovas has been cognizant of the character of Wcyler's campaigns. The wltole world tins been told with infinite and horrible ail f the butoberies perpetrated by that man. Tbe burning of hospitals, the killing of women and children, the murder of eld men, the assassination of non-combatants, the torture of sus pects in prison, the assassination of prisoners, the whole category of atroc ities has been Inid bare to the world faithfully and with horrible circum stantial evidence. These have been the apparent acts af Weyler, but the nian who must ht held responsible in history Is Canovas. Weyler was Canovas' creature and sub ject entirely to his will. If Canovas hnd disapproved of Weyler"s course, II he had objected to those butcheries. If he had not desired a reign of barbarous methods In tbe carrying on of the Cu ban war, a word from him would have changed it all. He could have com pelled a cessation of the cruelties in a day, or if Weyler had dared to disobey he could have stripped the butcher ol 'tis command In an Instant Canovas has escaped exposure before j because the Cuban junta has feared tc tell the truth about him. The Cuban patriots In the United States have not dared place the respoMdblUty where II belonged lest Weyler should be ordered to be more cruel and bloodthirsty. De nunciations have been poured oul gainst Weyler, but the.real villain wa granted temporary immunity in tin hope that some political exigency would cause therecallof Weyler and the substitution of a less savage command er. The American press has followed this same course, heaping execrations on Canovas tool and hangman Instead of on himself, on whom 99 per cent, of .lie blame must rightfully rest Cauovas selected Weyler to do till cruel work because he knew Woylei wa snaturally Inhuman and savage ami Canovas was tbe villain on whom American denunciation should hav fallen, hot, vitriolic, and sulphuric The Italian anarchist had rid the world of one of tbe hardest-hearted creatures that ever disgraced It One thing Is as siired, no subsequent Spanish Prenilei can escape responsibility for the net was naturally Inhuman and savage, of tbe general In command In Cuba. It atrocities are kept up by Weyler or a successor to Weyler the successor t Canovas will be made to feel the wratt f civilization. Manitoba's Premier Incognito. About one year ago a respected citi ten of a small town In North Dakota walked into the hotel with bis wife foi tbe noonday meal. He saw at his tabhj two strangers, one a young man, pret ty well dressed, and the other, evident ly a farmer, about GO years of age, will gray, rough beard and well-worn am ill-fitting clothing. Little attentiot was paid to the pair, beyond a bastj scrutiny. Tbe citizen and his wif were thinking of taking a trip to I lake In Manitoba, near Crystal City for a few days, and were talking almut the trip, inquiring how long the flshfn; would be good, etc., questions whicl those who were talking seemed nnabb to answer. The old farmer spoke up and. venturing to explain that he llvec quite near the lake, told all about tin situation there, where to s-o, at whos bouse to stop and other needed Infor matlon. Little else was said, but thi Impression made on the citizen-ant wife was not sufficient to cause then to make very much Inquiry, and no om about the hotel knew who tbe two met were. "Well, he seemed to be a nice old f el low." said tbe wife, "though- T "" te seemed quite Helpless tn regard to llspoelng of his lettuce. Probably hi. irst meal at a hotel." "Very likely," replied the citizen. The next day the citizen met his Mend, the liveryman, who said: "By the way, did yon see Premier jreenway of Manitoba. when he was jere yesterday? His driver brought Um down here from Crystal City, vjere he live., yen know, to catch the iraln for Et ikul and ti.jn to Ottawa, as be was in a hurry to go. He said he thought Greenway was called there to confer with Laurier and fix up the school question. He took dinner at the Columbia, and I didn't know but you might have seen him." Boston Tran script.

First Person Photographed. It was In 1842 that John Draper, then a professor In the University of New York, made the first portrait photo graph. The subject was Elizabeth Draper, his sister. Prof. Draper had the idea that in order to produce dis tinct facial outlines In photography it would be necessary to cover the coun tenance of the person photographed with flour. This seems a strange no tion now, and It proved not to be a good one then, for all of Trof. Draper's early attempts were failures. Finally he left out the flour and then was quite suc cessful. This so dellgbted him that he sent the picture to Sir William Herseh el, tbe eminent English astronomer. Sir William was in turn delighted, and made known Prof. Draper's success to the scientific men of Europe, ne also sent Prof. Draper a letter of acknowl edgment and congratulation, which has been carefully preserved In th archives of the Draper family.

The awkward turn In tbe railway tracks makes it difficult for passengers on the street cars to maintain their footing and a nuuibet of accidents due to tbe sharp veering of tne cars have happened. With all respect for the memory of the brave officers who shed their blood lu defense of tbe peace and welfare of the city, the officials believe that the purpose for which the statue was erected would be better subserved by placing it in a pub lic park, where people might admire V at their leisure.

A Ranch Sea Voraaw Is What Christ's Followers Must Expect A Sennoii o Solace to People Who Are In Trouble The Storm, the Calm and the Harbor. Text: "And there were also with Him other little ships, and there arose a great storm of wind. Aud the wind ceased au4 there wns a great calm." Mark lv., SO. Tiberius, Galilee, Oeonesaret tliret names for the same lake. No other gem ever hail so beautiful a setting. It lav in a scene of great, luxuriance the surround ing hills high. t'erra;ed. Hlooed. eroved. sn many hanging gardens of beauty; the wa ter rumhling down between rocks of gray and red limestone, flashing from the hills and bounding into the sea. On the shore were cantlcs, armed towers, Roman baths, everything attractive and beautiful, all styles of vegetation in shorter space than In almost any other space In all the world, from the palm tree of the forest to the tree of a rigorous climate. It seemed as if the Lord had launched one wave of beauty on all the scene, and it hung ami swung from rock to rock and hill and oleander. Komau gentlemen in pleas ure boats sailing the lake and countrymen in Ash smacks, coming down to drop their nets, pass ennh other with nod and shout, and laughter or singing Idly at their moor ings, on, what a wonderful, what a beau tiful lake! It seems as If we shall have a quiet night. Not a lenf winked in the air, not a ripple disturbed the fafle- of Gennesaret, but there seems to be a little excitement up the beach, ami we hasten to see what It Is, and we find it an embarkation. From the western shore a flotilla pu.thlng out, not a squadron or deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could gelze.but a flotilla, bearing mes sengers of life and light and peaiie. Christ Is tn the front of tho boat. His disciples are In a smaller boat. Jesus, weary with mnoh speaking to large multitudes. Is put into somnolence by the rocking of the waves. If there was any motion at all, the ship was easily righted; if the wind passed from one side, from the starboard to the larboard or from the larboard to tlie starboard, the boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Mas ter asleep. And they extemporized a pil low made out of a fisherman ' coat. I think no sooner Is Christ prostrate and His head touching the pillow than He is sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run their Angers through the locks of the worn sleep er, and the boat rises and falls like a sleep ing child on the bosom of a sleeping moth er. Calm night, starry night, beautiful night. Itun up all the sails, ply ail the onrs, and let the large boat oud tho small boat glide over gentle Oonnesnret. But the sailors say there is going to le a change of weather. And even the possen- ffers can hear tho moaning of the storm as t comes on with long stride, with all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at bay trembling amongtheclangorof the hounds; great patches of foam are flung Into the air; the sails of the vessels loosen, and the sharp winds crack like pistols; the smaller boats like petrels poise on the cliff of the waves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, tackling ami masts, ami the drenched disi-Iplcg rush Into the back part of tho iMiat and lay hold of Christ ami say unto Him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" That great personage lifts hi9 head from the pillow of the llsherman's coat, walks to the front of the vessel and looks out into the storm. Ail around him are the smaller boats, driven In the temp est, and through It comes the cry of drown ing men. I'.y the flash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from His beard. He has one word for the sky and another word forthe waves. Looking upward. He cries, "Peacel" . i Ing downward, ne says, "Be still!" The waves fall flnt on their faces, tho foam melts, tho extinguished stars relight their torches, the tempest falls dead, and Christ stan Is with His foot on the neck of the storm. And while the sailors are bail ing out the boats and while they am trying to untangle the cordnge thedlsi-iples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea, thi'ii into the calm sky, then into the calm of the Saviour's countenance, and they cry out, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and theseaobey Him?" The subject in tho first place Impresses me with the fact that It is very important to have Christ in the ship, for all those boats would have gone to the bottom ot Oennesnret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lesson for you and for me to learnl Whatever voyage we undertake. In to whatever enterprise we start, let us al ways have Christ In the ship. Many of you In these days of revived commerce are starting out in new financial enterprises. I bid you good cheer. Do all you can do. Do It on an hih a plane as possible. You have no rlj;ht to be a stoker In the ship if you can l an admiral of the navy. You nave no right to be a colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigade; you have no right to be engineer of a boat on river banks or near the coast If you can take the ooean steamer from New York to Liver pool. All you can do with utmost tension Of body, mind and soul, you are bound to do; but, oh, have Christ In the enterprise, Christ In every voyage, Christ In every Ship! . There Are men who ask Ood to help them at the start of great enterprises. He has been with them In the post. No trouble can overthrow them. The storms might come down from the top of Mount Herinon and lash trennesaret Into foam and into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here Is another man who starts out lu worldly enterprise, and he depends upon tbe uncertainties of this life. Ho has no Ood to help htm. After awhile the storm comes and tosses off the mnsts of the ship. He puts out his lifeboat. The sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off. They can't help him off. He must go down no Christ in the ship. Here are young in n just starting out in life. Your life will be made up of sunshine and shadow. There may be in it arctic blasts or tropical torna does. I know not what Is before you, but I know If you have Christ with you all shall b well. You may seem to get nlong without the religion of Christ while everything goes smoothly, but after awhile, when sorrow hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial d.ish clear over the hurricane deck and the bowsprit is shivered and the hal yards are swept Into the sea and the gang way Is crowded with piratical disasters oh, what would you then do without Christ In the ship? Young man, take Ood for your portion, Ood for your guide, God ' for your help, then all is well all is well for time, all shall be well forever. Blessed Is that man who puts In the Lord his trust. He shall never be confounded. But my subject also impresses me with the fact that when people start to follon Christ they must not expect smooth sailing. These disciples got into the small boats and I have no doubt they said: "What a beautiful day this Is! What a smooth sea' What a bright sky this isl How delightful is sailing in this boatl And as for tht waves under tbe keel of the boat, why they only make the motion of our littU boat the more delightful." But when tin winds swept down and the sea was tossec into wrath, then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. Ho yoi have found it; so I have found it. Ii! you ever notice the end of the life of th apostles of Jesus Christ? You' would sa) that if evermen ought to have had a smoott life, a smooth departure, then those men the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to hav( had such a departure and such a life. 8t.

They succeed in gettini him mad, saving, "You're a pretty Christian!" Does this young man find it smooth sailing when he tries to follow Christ? Here Is a Chris tian jrlrl.

I it in on way, you will get it in another way. f The question wai asked, "Who arc those nearest the throne?" anil the answer came hack, "These are they who came up out of irr-nt tribulation" "great flailing." as the original has it: great flailing, great pound ing "and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." Ol', lo not be disheartened! O child of God, take courage! You are in glorious com panionship. God will see you through all these trials, and He will deliver you. My subject also impresses nie with the fact that good people sometimes get very much frightened. In the tones of thes disciples as they rushed into the hack part 3f the boat I find they are frightened al most to death. They say, "Master, carest Thou not that we perish?" They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was in the boat. I suHose if we had been there we would have been Just as much affright ed. I'erhaps more. In all ages very good people gut very much affrighted. It Is often so In our lay, and men say: "Why, look at the bad lectures; look at the spiritualistic socle ties; look at the various errors going over the church of God. We are going to foun der; tho church Is going to perish; she is going down." Oil, how many good people are affrighted by triumphant Iniquity in our dny and think the church of Jesus Christ and tho cause of righteousness ara going to he overthrown and lire just as much affrighted as the disciples of mv text were affrighted. Don't worry, don't fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. A Hon goes into a cavern to sleep. Ho lies down, with tils shnggv mane covering Ihc paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across the mouth of the catcru and say, "We have captured him." Gossamer thread after gossamer thread is spun until the whole front of th" cavern is covered with thespiders' weband the spiders say, "The lion is done: the lion is fust." After awhile the lion has got through sleeping. He roijsts himself, lie shakes his iu'iiih, he walks o it into tho sunlight, he does not even know the spiders' web is spun, and with his voice h shakes tho mouii'aln. Ho men come, spinning their sophisif.'-"" tnd skepticism about Jesus Christ, ilo liems to be sleeping. They say: "We have faptured tho Lord. Ho will never come forth ngain upon the nation. Christ lscap iured, and captured forever. His religion rill never make any enniic.-f a iioug men." But after awhile the "lion of the trilief Iiidah" will rouse himself aud come forth so shake mightily the nations. What Is a ipider's web to tho aroused lion? Give :ruth and error a fair grapple, ami truth irill come off victor. Again, my subject impresses nic wi - the .'act that Jesus was God and man in tho same being. Here he Is in the back part 3f the boat. Oh, how tired he looks, what ad dreams he must have! Look at his ;ounteiiauce. lie must be thinking of the ;ross to come. Look at him. lie Is a man bone of our bone, flesh of our llesh. Tired, ho falls asleep: ho is a man. But then I Hnd Christ at the prow of the boat. I henr Him say, "Peace, be still!" And I sec tho storm kneeling at His fect and the temests folding their wings in His pres ence. He is a (.toil. If I have sorrow nml trouble and wnnt sympathy, I go and kneel down at the back part of the boat and say, "O Christ, weary on( of Gennesaret, sympathize with all my Borrows, man of Nazareth, man of the cross." A man, a man. But if I want to conquer my spiritual foes, it I want to get the victory over sin, death and he.!;, I 'umi to the front of tho boat and I kneel down, and I say, "O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou who dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief, hush all my temptation, hush all my sin." A man, a mnn, a God, a God. I learn once more from this subject thnt Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem as If everything must go to ruin. The dis ciples had given np tho idea of managing the ship. The crew were entirely de moralized, yet Christ rises, and Ho puts His foot on the storm, and it crouches at His feet. Oh, yes, Christ can hush the tempest! You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the little child taken nway from you tho sweetest child of the household, tho ons who asked the most curious questions aud' stood around you with the greatest fond ness, and the spade cut down through your bleeding heart. Perhaps it was an only son, and your heart has eversluce been Ilka a desolated castle, the owls of the night hooting among the falling rafters and the crumbling stairways. Perhaps it was an nged mothct. You al ways went to her with your troubles. Hhe was in your home to welcome yoiirchildren into life, and when they died she was there to pity you. That old hand will do you no more kluduess. That white lock of hair you put away in the casket or lu the locket did not look as well as it usually did when she brushed it away from her wrinkled brow In the homeeii-ie or in the country church. Or, your property gone, vou said, "I have so much bank stock, I have so many government securities, I have so many houses, 1 have so many farms" all gone, all gone. 1 Why, all the storms that ever trample 1 with their thunders, ail the shipwrecks, have not been worse thnn this to you. nt you have not been completely overthrown. Why? Christ hushed the tempest. Your little one was taken away. Christ says: "I have that little one. I can take care of him as well as you can, better than you can, oh, bereaved mother!" Hushing tha tempest! When your property went away, God said, "There are treasures In heaven, In banks that never break." There is one storm into which we will all have to run the moment when. we let go of this life and try to take hold of the next, when we will want all the grace we can have we will want it all. Yonder I see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of death. All the powers of darkness seem let out against that soul the swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, the scream ing wind, all seem to unite together but that soul Is not troubled, there is no sighing, there are no tears; plenty of tears in the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears; calm, satisllcd, peaceful, all is well. Jesus hushing the tempest! By the flash of the storm you see the harbor lust ahead, and you are making for that harbor. Htriko eight bells. All is weil. Into the harborof heaven now we glide; We're home at last, home at Inst. Softly we drift on its bright, silv'ry tide. AVe're home at last, home at last. Glory to God, all our dangers are o'er. We stand secure on the glori lied shore. Glory to God, we will shout evermore.
