CHAPTER XXIX.
The sun hnd net before Frank Amu
thwaite reached Mereside. and a leaden
February day vaa ending in raw. wet
evening by the time he stood at the door
of Ned Croamont'a house.
The bell was answered, not, aa he had
hoped, by the warm-hearted and trust
worthy Nanny, but by the loqimcious lit
tle seandul-mongcr. Ajrnes. who started
so violently on serving him that it wa evi
dent his coming had some special i n ten's t
for her. Her constrained answer to his
first question maiVe it clear that She had
been carefully drilled.
"Is Mr. Orosmont at home?"
' "No, air." And Agnes blushed violent
ly. Io yon know when he will be In?"
I can't say at all, sir."
"How is Mrs. Crosmont to-day?"
"Quite well, sir. She is writing now In
her own room, and pave orders that she
was not to be disturbed," giving off the
message with the glibness of a lesson.
Arinathwaite reddened.
"That is all right," he said, stiffly.
"Please let her know that I caBed. and
am glad to hear she is better."
He turned and went down the steps,
too anxious"' to feel much mortified by his
reception, which had justified his worst
fears. He thought it wiser not to linger
a moment in the neighltorhood, as It waa
plain that Cromont would not see him,
and very desirable that the agent should
" ' not susitect thnt he was being watched.
He therefore rode straight back to Braiik
some, and did not leave home again until
he learned by the clock that the T:-iO
train hud steamed out of the station. Then
he got up from the chjiir in whicn be hod
been forcing himself to sit very quietly,
and telling Mrs. Peele that he was So
VrT1" the n'Pht at The Crags by Lord Kil
a donan's desire, he left the Indies to their
Jar astonishment without giving, thetn time
, for comment.
n Froru raiiksoine to The Crags was a
1 walk of nearly seven miles, and It was
, nine o'clock befor. Frank reached the
big red house, and nsked if Ixtrd Kildo
nan could see him. He had not long to
waif. before he had stood two minutes in
front of the great log ur which it was
lier ladyship's pleasure to keep always
bnrnine in the wide hull fireplace, the old
, Scotchman came trotting duwu the gal
lery from his study with outstretched
band.
"I thought." paid Arnrithwnite, some-
this an1.' iooii that you did-not look well,
and iniht terhaps be threatened to-night
.o-Jth another attack like that one you had
three weeks ago. So I c-.ime to ask your
permission to pass the night here, and
see for myself how you got on."
"Well, that is very kind of you: hut
It's rtrange, too, for I have not felt at all
uuwell. Hut, now I remember, I felt
no premonitory symptoms of uiy last at
tack. Well, you're welcome, at all events,
and I hoe your forelxntong may not prove
well founded. Come to my study, come;
and I'll show you some notes I've taken
since you were this afternoon."
When they reached the study Lord Kil
donan opened a little cellaret which stood
unlocked on a shelf in the wall. "You
take whisky, doctor'" he said. "I gen
erally take a glass of whisky and water
about this time in the evening; you won't
let me take if alone, will your"
"I don't thin I shall let you take it at
all, lord Kildonau," said Armarhwaite,
aa he took up a tumbler. Into which the
elder man hnd poured some of the spirit
and examined it narrowly. "I am here
as your medical adviser, you know, and
you must allow me to taste this."
"Certainly," said Ird Kildonan, who
thought this was a Joke.
Armathwaite raised the glass to his
.ipv
"They've put it into the wrong decan
ter," he said, calmly, though his eyes
were bright with excitement; "or, no,"
he tasttd the spirit again "they've put It
Into a decanter that hadn't been proiw-rly
rinsed. What Is it they use for washing
these things? Vinegar and attud, or some
thing of tint sort, isn't It? I can taste
the vim-gar; it spoils the flavor complete-
ly.
Lord Kildonan took up the tumbler, and
tasted the contents in his turn.
"There fcj a peculiar flavor in It; I've
noticed the same thing before. V inegar,
do jou say? It doesn't taste like vinegar
to me."'
"In any case, you had better not drink
it. It nviglxt make you sick. Have a
fresh t-ottle opened. Lord Kildonau, and
don't have tt decanted at all."
Ixrd Kildonan rang the bell, and after
some delay the uinler-foot man appeared.
It was a most unusual circumstance for
the master of the house, who was a man
of the simplest habits, to require any at
tendance so lnte, and the lad seemed very
much, alarmed by the summons. The but
"ler had gone to bed, he said, and the keys
of the cellar were locked up In his pantry.
Lord Klldonan, who would not hare brok
en a dog's sleep for bis own pleasure,
looked ruefully at the condemned decan
ter, and would most certainly have con
tented himself with the deteriorated spirit
but for the presence of the doctor, who,
with some astute knowledge of men and
manners, said:
"You know where the butler keeps that
bottle of whisky for his own drinking?"
"( h, yes, sir," answered the Ind readily,
and immediately fell to blushing furiously
as both the gentlemen smiled.
"Well, bring it, there's a good lad, Jnst
as it is."
And the young fellow disappeared with
out delay.
"I'm afraid Webster will think we're
taking a liberty," said Webster's master
doubtfully.
"If he docs. Lord Kildonnn, yon may be
i lire he'll not rest till he has taken ample
HMtipensatlon."
When the servant reappeared with the
whisky, and having put It softly down
upon the table, took himself off as noise
lessly and unostentatiously as possible,
Armathwaite mixed two tnmhlerfuls, the
first very strong and the secood very
seaa, mci navmi given rtie nrmer to fita
tofct.'t.rili the latter for himself.
"EX but this is stitf," sjiid the old
Sl-oirU.iian. tasting rhe wcKiraHn wirh
Mit disfavor. "You have mixed this for
a profwwor of iiuiHcine, and not for a
Student o' philology, doctor. If I were to
drink this off, and then lie down for an
bour as ma custom is. I should do na
niore work to-night, and there'd he some
precious hours wated. An wi these Ut
ile whipper-snapper pretenders to science
it-..itg a' ,'ooitu us. it ill becoiu. a iii
wi" any pretensions to learning U gie hU
time to whisky toddy and na to word
roots." H gradually emptied the tumbler, and
o-iug, as he had predleted. by that timi
well disxisel for his usual hour's reose.
he excuwd himself to the dH-tor, and re
tired to lie don on the hard little sofa iu
the ante-chamlMY.
As soihi as the (nirtain between the two
rooms fell tiehind his host's retiring fig
ore, Armathwaite seemed to become a dif
ferent man. Looking at his watch, he
TimOMwl that if. waa seventeen iniiiutr
pusr ten; 3tid springing up liglttly in a
state of high excitement, which there waa
Do longer any need to conceal, he turned
np the lamp and paced the room from end
to end with a soft tread, his ears on th
alert for any sound. When be came close
to the outer door, or to the curtain a Such
hung in the doorway of the hmcr room,
he would stop and listen; and aa, at last,
peeping behind the curtain, he saw Lord
Kildouan lying with closed eyes, he step
ped softly in and blew out the candles
that were burning on the table at the foot
tf the sofa.
The doctor retreated info the next room,
(t was now twenty-five minutes past ten.
Faint night-noises, uunoticed by day, but
rendered startling m the silence of the
dark hours, asmiled the listening ear on
all sides. The chirp of a cricket, the
tracking of the woodwork, the scurrying
of mice, each of those sounds came with
almost deafening distinctness to Arma
thwaite as he stood by the door, hearing
the drawing of his own breath and feeling
interested in It, as if it had been that of
I tiut. At last in the distance he heard
loiiiethuig which no nearer sound could
title the creak of a board under a hu
auMi tread, followed presently by soft,
llow footfalls along the uncarpetcd gal
lery outside. He drew back from the
Ior. In the bare room there were neither
Mirtaina nor screens behind which he
rould retreat. On the other hand, the
lump, with its drk green shade, cast only
i small circle of bright light on the table,
tnd a still smaller one on the ceiling
liove. He withdrew into the darkest cor
ner of tlte room and waited, standing up
right and as still as a statue.
The door handle rattled and turned, and
the door Itself was pushed open so very
ilowly that Armathwaite had to battle
with an Impnlee to take three strides for
ward, pull it towsrdis him an1
i" - itt nitfiMier. At li&A-t a figure ap
peared, looking hardly more solid than a
ihadow in the gloom that filled every cor
ner of the apartment beyond the little ring
of rhe lump's light a woman's figure,
moving slowly and lightly over the floor
towards the inner room. Armathwaite
remained motionless until she had drawn
the curtain aside on its rings and passed
through; then he stepped out from his cor
uer and passed to the other side of the
room. As he did so he saw in the gloom
tlie lady bend down over the head of the
ofa and kiss the forehead of the recum
bent man.
"(rood night, my darling," he .heard
Lord Kildonau murmur. And then fol
lowed a soft woman's whisper: "(Jood
sight." A moment later the curtain mov
d again, and the lady returned, passing
jlose by where he stood without turning
ber head. She crossed the room, opened
fhe door, and went out Into the gallery,
ind it was not until her footsteps had died
way that Armathwaite begun to breathe
naturally again.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Frank Armathwaite woke about eight
'clock nnd shortly afterward Ixtrd Kil
3onan, in his dressing gown, came in from
the study with a disturbed face. The old
Scotchman told him rbut be had gone to
his wife's room to bid her good morning,
but did not find her in her room, while he
missed from the wardrobe one of her
thawls. Anirathwaite tried to convlm-e
his host that the lutter'a wife might have
run into her boudoir for a novel. With a
doubtful shake of the head Lord Kildo
uan left the room, but returned ten min
utes later looking more than ever bewil-ik-red,
with the statement that her lady
ihip was safely in bed asleep. He hod no
joiibt tbat ehe had been out of rhe house,
for her dress waa lying on a chair that
lad been empty when he went In the first
time. He felt sure, however, thnt she
s'ould make some explanation during the
lay.
This she did. In fact, to her guileless
du.s band's satisfaction, by telling him that
the had been down in the morning room
hunting for a book she had left there when
he looked into ber room. She received
Armathwaite with looks of both fear and
enmity, and managed so as not to leave
him alone with her husband for a mo
ment. When be was ready to leave The
Crags to go on his round of visits to hia
patients she followed him almost to the
door. They were alone here and Arma
thwaite gTRsped the opportunity to say:
"Lady KUdonan, listen to me. I am not
(our enemy, aa you think. I would suve
rou if I could. I can even now if you are
ready to save yourself. But yon must
work against yourself, and let the good
elf conquer the evil now, at once, or it
will be too late. One more step in the
wrong direction, and no power on earth
rair save you. Try, I implore you; I con
jure yon, try I"
He hissed out these words with almost
fiery earnestness close to her indifferent
wr. When he had finished, she drew
back her head and looked at him with lan
guid recklessness, which had a most un
happy fascination.
"I am not in the mood for great efforts,
doctor; neither am I in the mood to he de
tained while you wnlsper s-weet nothings
In my ear. Your patients must be wait
ing. I bave come to see yon off. Pray,
let me have that pleasure."
As he was returning from his daily
rounds, be came face to face with Lord)
Kilknan, walking rapidly. Frank waa
startled at his apparance.
If he had looked changed that morning,
now he seemed to be transformed. Hard
ly a trace of the Ixrd Kildonan of a week
ago was left in this erect, determined old
man, with bard, cold eyes, and mouth shut
like a hasp. He said very quietly, but in
a dry, rasping voice:
'I wish to siieak to yon. It is true, 1 be
lieve, that Ir. Peele put '.be greatest con
fidence in you?"'
"Yes, I think I may say that be did."
answered Frank.
"He told you all particulars of the cases
jnVer his care?"
"Yes, that I might take them lip in
place of him."
"He waa a grvii T. i oi an-of the
-it. t- irliloo; be was the family phy
sician, and knew all the secrets of the
'iiii!y. us i)e!i men must do."
I dare say fie did, your lordship."
"You know be did," snapped Lord Kil
lomin m a grating voice, turning to look
at him with cold, penetrating eyes.
"Yes, I know that he did."
"And such secrets also passed to yon?"
"No, Iord Kildouan." Armathwaite
.'(iked at him back with perfectly candid
eyes. "They wre to have passed to me,
but th-y never reached me."
"How waa that?"
"He left his writing table to me. and
rted in his will thnt aU the pocrs it
oiitaiiKsl were to cume to me :'.nt
when it came into my hands. tnre were
uu docuiiKUis in it of the least Importance.
Kirlur Ir. Peele changed his mind at the
last, aud destroyed them, or they had
been abstracted-be fore the table reached
my bauds."
"By whom?"
"Well, presumably by some person wha
believed in a prior right to the doctor!
effects."
Lord KUdonaa'a Una tightened still
snore, "Women are the breed of perdi
tion!" he muttered. Then, In a louder
voice, be aald: "Ooine to the doctor's
bouse; we must have those papers."
Frank could only obey, and when they
reached Mrs. Peelc's house they com
pelled that lady to surrender the packet.
"Don't, don't give them up," murmured
tho widow, huskily, an she pat the packet
with trembling fingers Into Arm ath wake's
hand. -
But there was a stronger will than hers
at work. Aa soon aa the papers rustled
in the doctor's nervous clutch, the old
Scotchman held out bla own long, lean
hand with a look half-ptteoua, ha If -commanding,
wWch Frank could not resist.
"For heaven's sake, give them up to
me!" he said with dry Vpa, In a rattling
voice. "For I know that they concern
my wife!"
Armathwaite yielded them up without
a word, and Lord Kildonan. with steps
that for a moment tottered, passed, with
a cold inclination to the lady, out of the
house.

NUTRITIOUS NOT PALATABLE.
Trials of an American at the Siege
or Parla.
An artist. In a recent description of
life In the students' quarter In Paris,
gave an amusing account of an odd
American who has lived there for many
yearn, and has been tbe companion
and friend of his young countrymen
aud others who bave been his neigh
bors while following the difficult road
that leads to artistic success.
This oddity, who, from his wide
knowledge, baa been nicknamed by tbe
students "Dictionary Snyder," was a
ri-sUlont of Paris during the slefte. He
was very poor; Indeed, be possessed not
quite eight dollars In the world when
the Investment of the city began; but
lie determined that, wltb the exercise
of proper forethought, he could make
this sum carry hmi through tbe siege.
. Of conru he knew IhsA tfrf.-PrVfr.r'fTii

In, before people had thought of such
nn article of diet, or of Its Inevitable
rise In value, three bottl of olive olL
. Then be bought bread from hty to
day, as lie required It; and soaking It
iu oil, and adding and stirring In witter
until the mess was as nearly combined
Into soup as oil and water could be
made to combine, he lived upon this nu
tritious but unattractive fare uutil the
siege was nearly ended.
His health did not suffer, but he be
came at hurt so desperately sick of
bread and oil that be could endure it
no longer, and resolved upon a single
handed sortie In search of a "fuitmre
meal." He left the city secretly and
walked boldly up to a German picket,
who of course challenged and hnlted
htm. but was persuaded, when finally
convinced thnt he was no French spy,
but only a half-starved American, to
be come his accomplice In a harmless
ruse. Snyder ran past him and made
a dash for camp; tbe sentry, whoxe
orders were to allow no one to pass,
tired his gun after blm. but In the air;
aud Snyder arrived safely among a
much-astonished group of amiable Teu
tonic soldiers, who gave blm a hearty
welcome.
They feasted him upon cheese, beer
ami fresh bread, and Indeed entertain
ed him so well that he forgot the flight
of time, and failed to return within an
hour, as he bad promised tbe obliging
picket to do. Aa a consequence, there
was a new man on guard, and Snyder
was again halted and detained.
But bla plausible tongue convinced
the second picket as It had the first,
and the ruse was repeated, with the
difference that the Ingenious Snyder
was this time running for the gate
from which he bad originally emerged.
The Frenchmen who received him,
panting and pursued apparently by
rifle-shots, regarded him as the hero
of a marvelous escape, and were so
moved by admiration of his feat that
they, from their own slender re
sources, provided him with another
good meal the second In one day, and

THE INDIAN RISING.
Characteristic ef the Tribe la Kerol
Against British Power.
The Tat ban race Is the term gener
tlly used to embrace the various clans
now In revolt In northwestern India
against British power. Tba men of
these clans are all brave and fearless
and are bloodthirsty In their tastes.
They are impatient of control, devoid
of discipline In the Eastern sense of
the word, and yet always ready to
combine for mischief or against the
hated British rule. These clans are
numerous. Their names would fill a
column, but tbe most Important and
powerful In number are the Orukial,
the Afritll, tbo Yusufzal, apd tba
Wazirl, all inhabiting the Bwat valley
anditssurrounding heights, which the
bare annexed by right of conquest. For
many years these people were kept on
a more or less peaceful footing owing

THE DECOY COW.
device Invented for Hunters
by
Western Grains,
As deceptive and dangerous as th
proverbial wolf In sheep's clothing Is
a patent cow Just invented by a West
ern genius. The device presents the
perfect outward semblance of a most
peaceable and amiable cow, but the
fore legs and the hind legs are In fact
the legs of two men. They are arm
ed with guns, and have a plentiful sup
ply of ammunition.
The device has a flexible outer shell
of canvas or other suitable material,
decorated exteriorly to represent ths
animal in Imitation of which the decoy
Is constructed, and said shell Is adapt
ed to be supported or held In Its dis
tended position through tbe medium of
a collapsible metal framework, which
allows the covering and framework of
the decoy to be folded Into a small
space for transportation. Ia ths sides
of the frame, at suitable pointa, aro
windows or openings, protected by outward-swinging
flap blinds, and through
these windows the sportsman In ths
rear may discharge his fowling pices
when the game has been successfully
stalked. For tbe firing of the hunter in
the front of the decoy there Is provided
a downward swinging portion, which
Includes the head and neck of ths ani
mal, so that by simply releasing a
small catch from ths Inside of ths
framework, this swing front portion
drops by gravity and thus leaves the
Vortsman free.
Praiat OIL
The first peanut oil factory in the
United States will be established In

Is highly valued In Europe, as It Is
stated that fully $5,000,000 worth of
peanuts are brought into Marseilles an
nually for tbe manufacture of oil,
which Is nsed In toilet soaps and for
other purposes. The peanut flour Is
quite extensively used In Europe and
made Into kread, biscuit, etc. It Is one
of the favorite articles of food, accord
ing to consular reports, in hospitals In
Germany.

KOREAN FAIRY TALK
Reads ss Ckaraaimcly aa Oats of Kothss
The Koreans have an Interesting
end concerning the manner In which
Tong-Pak-Buk, the Methuselah of their
mythology, got the better of satan.
Tong lived 1,000 years and acquired
great wisdom. The later years of
his Ufa were spent In fishing, but not
wishing to diminish the stock of nsbj
In the river, be used a straight piece
of wire Instead of a hook. Thus he
was able to enjoy the excitement and
pleasure of fishing for several centu
ries without catching a single fish.
Rallalng that sooner or later the
devil who did death's erranda would
be looking him up. he changed his
name and abode with each generation
and thns eluded him. In the meantime
the evil one disguised himself In a
flowing Korean robe which covered up
hla tail, concealed hla horns nnder a
mourner's hat three feet In diameter
and wrapped bis legs In carious pad
ded stockings, so that he easily passed
for a native. He heard that Tong was
Ashing In the Han river. So be col
lected a quantity of charcoal and
washed It In that stream. This of
course blackened the water, aad Tong.
being surprised and annoyed,, went np
to discover the cause. Finding the
devil washing tbe charcoal, he asked
what he was doing. The devil replied
that be was trying to make It white.
Old Tong la his astonishment was
thrown off his guard and aald: "I bave
lived In Korea hundreds of years, and
of course have met many fools, but I
ever saw a big enough fool to try to
wash charcoal white."
The devil at once knew his man, ana
unfolding his tail by way of exhibit
ing his warrant of arrest, seised Tong
and hurried him along In the direction
of that dark portal through which all
mortals must pass.
On the way the devil, being In good
humor over his success, chatted pleas
antly with Tong, who ventured to ask
him what he most abhorred and was
most afraid of. The devil made a fa
tal blunder one which might have
been excusable for a mortal, but was
most stupid for a devil be told the
truth. He said that be hated and fear
ed but four terrestrial things a branch
of a thorn tree, an empty salt bag, a
worn-out straw sandal of an ox, and a
particular kind of grass that grows In
Korea the foxtail and that when
these were put together he could not
go within thirty feet of them.
In return the devil asked Tong what
be most feared. Tong, being wise and
experienced, lied and said be was In
mortal terror of a roasted ox. bead and
mackalee a kind of beer.
Shortly after this exchange of con
fidence Tong noticed that they were
passing a thorn tree, around the roots
h foxtail .grass wms mTjTilacm, stile hl,he lantt-w4ch baft
curlonslv enough: nnder It waa
an old bag and a cast-off ox sandal;
so, making a sudden spring from the
aids of the devil, he gathered up the
bag, the grass and sandal, and hang
ing them on a branch of the tree his
charm was perfect. The devil could
not come within thirty feet
Of course the devil used every In
ducement to get Tong to come forth,
but tbe old fellow stuck to his post
At last ti e devil went off and got a
roasted ox head and a cask of macka
lee, and rolled them in to Tong, confi
dent from what he had told him, that
Tong would be driven outside the mag
ic circle. But when he saw Tong eat
ing heartily of the beef and drinking
tbe mackalee with gusto, he realised
that the gams was up, and despairing
ly departed.
Tong's long life waa due to the acci
dent by which his page In the Book of
Fate stuck to tbe next one, so that
his name was overlooked. When ulti
mately ths complaint was made that
Tong had been living too long. It took
the registrar of the lower regions 340
years to bunt np hla name In tha
archives.
Forgiving; Small Injuries.
Bow often are our feelings hurt by a
rp look, a sarcastic laugh or an ill
tempered remark. Our Ignorance la
soma common branch may be cxpsssd
to laughter, a thoughtless slip of tba
tongue. Jeered at or a careless mlstaks
be received with derisive laughter.
What a feeling of anger surges through
one! Mouths may pass, the amused k1
spectator wil have forgotten tbe Inci
dent but the scene Is seared on one's
memory, perhaps never to be forgotten
nor forgiven.
These little alights are harder to for
give than big injuries, they rankle and
sting, and seem to grow to huge propor
tions. Being brooded over, they seem
like ths deepest Insults. How are ws
to treat these mocking foes?

Tkxt: "On his head were many crowns."
Rev. xix., 12.
In watching this march of Christ ws mns
not walk Itefore Htm or beside. Htm, for thai
would not be reverential or worshipful, tto
w walk behind Him. We follow Him while
not yet in his toons up a Jerusalem terrace,
to a building GOO feet long and 600 feet wide,
and undor tho hovering splendor of gate
ways, anil by a pillar crowned with a capi
tal chiseled Into the shape of flowers and
leaves, and near a marble screen until a
group of white-haired philosophers and
theologians gather around him, and then
theltoy bewilders and confounds and over
whelms these seholarly septuagenarians
with questions they cannot answer, and
under His qulek whys and whyfores, and
hows and whens, they pull their white
leards with omttarrassment and rub their
wrinkled foreheads in confusion, and put
ting their staffs hard down on the marble
floor as they arise to go, they must feel Ilka
chiding the boldness that allows twelve
years of ago to ask seventy-flvo years of
ng such puzzlers.
Out or this building wa follow Him intc
the Qtiiirantania, the mountain of tempta
tion, its side to this day black with , rob
bers' dens, Look! Up the able of this
mountain come all the forces of perdition
tit e(Teet our Chieftain's capture. But al
though weakened by forty days and forty
nights of abstinence. He hurls all Pande
monium down tbe rocks, suggestive of bow
Ho can hurl Into helplessness all our temp
tations. And now we climb after Him up
the tough sides of the "Mountain of Beati
tudes." and on the highest pulpit of rocks,
the Valley of Hatin twfore Him, the Lako
of (iiilileo to the right of Him, and Hii
preaehes a sermon that yet will transform
the world with Its applied sentiment.
Now, we follow our Chieftain on Lake
Oalilee. We must keep to the Iteach. for
our feet are not shod with thesutmatural,
and we remember what poor work Potor
made of It when ho tried to walk the water.
Christ, our leader, is on the top of the toss
ing waves, and it is ubout half past three
in tuc morulng, aud It Is tbe darkest time
just Itefore daybreak. But by the flashes
of lightning we see Hi m putting Ills feet
on the crest of the wave, stepping from
crest to crest, walking the white surf. The
sailors think a ghost is striding the tem
pest, but He cheers them Into placidity,
showing Himself to be a great Christ for
sailors. And He walks the Atlantic, and
Paoille, and Mediterranean, aud Adriatic
now, nnd if exhausted and affrighted voy
agers will listen for His voice at half past
three o'clock in the morning, on any sea.
Indeed at any hour, they will bear Hia
voice of compassion and encouragement.
As in December, lssil, I walked on tho
way from Bethany, aud at the foot of
Mount Olivet, a half mile from the wall of
Jerusalem, through the gunlen of Oeth
soiiinnn, and under the eight venerable
olive trees now standing, their poniologi
cul ancestors having been witnesses of the
occurrences spoken of, the scene of horror
ami crime came back to mo, until I shud
dered with the historical reminiscence.

upon a tessellated pavement Pontius Pilate
sits. And as omre a year a condemned

or our Chieftain, and they all cry out for

ing they prefer a murderer to the Saviour
of the world. Pilate tixtk a basin of water
In front of these people and tried to wash
on the blood of this murder fr.ttn his hands,
but he coil hi not. They are still lifted, and
I see them looking up through all the ages
red with carnage.
Still following our Chieftain, I ascend the
hill which General Oordon. the great Eng
lish explorer aud arbiter, first made a clay
model of. It is hard climbing for our Chief
tain, for He has not ouly two heavy tim
bers to carry on His lutck, the npright and
horizontal pieces of the cross, but He is
suffering from exhaustion caused by lack
of food, mountain chills, desert heats,
whippings with elmwood rods, aud years
of maltreatment.
Now we follow our Chieftain to the
shoulder of Mount Olivet, and without
wings He rises. All Heaven lifted a shout
of welcome. In all the libretto of celestial
music it was hard to And an anthem enough
oonjtibilaiit to celebrate the joy saintly,

But still we follow our Chieftuin in His
march through the centuries, for invisibly
He still walks tho earth, and by the eye of
faith we still follow Him. I hear His tread
in the sick room and in the attodes of
liereavemeut. He marches on and tbe
nations are gathering around Him. The
islands of the sea are hearing His voice.
The continents are feeling His power.
America will lie His! Europe will be His!
Asia will be His!
One by oue governments will fall into
line and constitutions and literatures wtll
adore His name. More honored and wor

THOUCHT AND ACTION.
A Sermon Preached in C'liieago by Kev,
John McNeill, tf KllnlurKh, Scotland.
Tkxt: "I thought on my ways and turned
my feet unto Thy testimonies. I made
haste and delayed not to keep Thy Coal
man. I incuts." Psalm cxix., 55-56.
This is the Old Testament story of the
prodigal son. What you have iu the New
Testament, set forth in wondrous detail by
our Lord in His inimitable story, you have
condensed into this brief epitome of the
exHrience of the man who wrote the
Psalm. There, as here, you have the his
tory of a man who once lived, and of whom
it is implied here, ami expressed there, that
he wauilereil on I lie wrong track, t tint tit
came to the end of that he came to him
aelf, lie wandered hack again, and brought
himself into all temKtral and eternal bles
sing by his return.
It is just, I sometimes think, what urn
might have expected to tie seen on tli
headstone of the pntdigal son nftor hi
died and was buried. We hope he II vet
long and did well, and that In the end o:
the day he redeemed the follies and disits
tera of the early part; then, at last, fllloc
with years and honors, he lay down nnc
died mid was buried. "Devout men enr
ned him to his burial, and made Imnentn
tions over him," and we will suppose that
as they do iu this country, they put up I
headstone and inscription. If so, I ennno
think of nn inscription more suitable that
our present text: "Here lies a man win
thought on his ways, aud turned his feet t
Ood s testimonies, and made haste and do
laved not to keen His Commandments."
..cts to cnatige tne ngure an entry in
the spiritual diary ot the man who wrote
the Psalm. It is one of those little auto
biographical bits that are one of the ele
ments which give to the Psalms their pes
annial interest. So here you have a little
autobiographical ult one of those things
irhleh keep tbe Psalms in a state of great
' -- sa for ail pur hearts. , , .
I!!
I wonder If we keep a diary? 1! there it.
tnvthlng that men want to remember. It Is
that tl. i.l la writing oiirdlnrv. Listen to the
scratching of the pen behind the arras I
Has God had occasion, do you think, to
enterlnto the diary of yourspirltnal history
such an entry as we find here.by His graee.
In the diary or tne man wno wrote nm
Psalms? I want to get at the root of the
Idea of experimental religion. It Is time
the entry was In, for there are black and
shameful entries opposite your name and
mine to a great extent, and it will need
every entry which will avail to redeem the
record. That which I have named Is tho
only entry that will save it from being s
damning Indictment against us in ths day
when the judgment is set and the books are
opened. The diaries will tte brought out,
and our eternal state will be flxed by the
record of our diary that God. with impar
tial pen. has kept. That will be reading
for some of us! This will redeem It this
red-letter entry only this: "I thought on
my ways, and turned my feet to Thy testi
monies. I made hnsio and delayed not to
Keep Thy Commandments."
Do not let anyone turu away, saying: "t
m not included, for I have not wandered;
I am not a prodigal." All wo, like sheep,
have gone astray; we have turned
every one to his own way." Home
of us go blundering on through
the mud and mire of drunkenness,
swearing, licentiousness ami open sinning;
that Is one way to the far country. Some
of us go along the macadamized road of
self-righteousness, and church-going, and
sermon-hearing; that Is one way to the
same outer darkness and the same far
country. "I thought on my ways." The
beginning lies there. Now, I steak to peo
ple who pride themselves, I have no doubt,
"that they are thinkers, and they pride
themselves that dust is not to be thrown In
their eyes, and they examine what is set
before them." A preacher of the Gospel
asks for nothing better than that. "I speak
unto wise men; judge yo what I say, to the
law and to the testimony."
"I thought on my ways." The beginning
lies In serious tuoughtfulness. Religion Is
not magic. It Is miracle; but It Is not Jug
glery, it Is not witchcraft, It Is not being
"hypnotized;" it Is not any of these things.
Vou never put your intellect to a higher
use than when you turned Its powers upon
your own ways, enlightened by the surest
guide, the word of God. I rather fear that
many people think that, while you need to
take your intellect with you when you go
to hear a lecture on philosophy, or on
science, you can bring your addled head
when you come to hear the Gospel. Get
rid of that Idea. Bring your host hrulus
with you when you come to hear God's
word. "I thought on my ways;" that la
the beginning of all experimental religion,
and that Is the only thing; because It be
gins there, therefore, conversions are so
uncommon among us.
"I thought," thnt is the begiunin?; te.
think for ourselves. Do not let me do your
thinking for you. No, no; it Is not "I
thought on my own sermon," but "I
thought on my ways." Iu God's providence
I may bo a great help to you, or I may
not be, but the thing has to he done by
yourselves. It Is your own soul that Is tho
Issue at stake, and the thinking that will
save It must be done by that soul's powers
themselves.
I thought on mv ways a mini who
thought for himself, that was tho begin
ning with him ol nil Ills blessings. Are you
doing It? For there Is an essential thought
lessness In all our hearts, nV.'ir.illy. as re
gards the gospel. Von will get men who
sit under the liest preaching intellectually.
and from the point of view of interest and
of power to awaken the heart and the con
science and emotions, nnl tney sir, ana

Secondly, he tells us he th-mtit about
himself. He censed to think, about other
people, and fastened his g.-ie upon his own
soul; he communed with his own spirit; he
talked to his own heart upon his bed, did
this man who wrote, the Psalms. To our
selves we ought to be In every sense of the
term Interesting creatures. Ami this text
helps tho preacher. It relieves him of n
great responsibility that ought never to le
put ou him. I do not know your ways;
vou are a deep mystery to me. You do not
know my ways. I can only see the surface
current, and the winds that blow nnd curl
and crisp the water on the top of it, but
of those deep, strong undercurrents
that flow through what can I know?
Think of your own ways, save
your own' soul. Do not expect me to work
miracles. I don't know your ways; I don't
knowlthe secrets that lie within your ken.
If I did. God knows I w-oul.l use them. God
knows I would preach tlietn to you; I would
spread them out before you till your heart
stood still with this thought: "God Al
mighty must have told ttiat man all my
wiiys." Your own ways!
Two or throe channels into which we ma
run our Independent thinking: Who am I?
Where am I? Where am I going? All that
Is covered by the expression, "thinking of
one's wavs." Who am I? The Bible and
my own conscience give the only and the
sure answer to that question. What Is
man? Ask philosophy; ask science, and, to
their Infinite shame, they are not quite
sure whether we are gradually developed,
not yet perfectly developed monkeys or
donkeys, maybe they don't know which,
nor whether we nre going up or back.
They have not made np their minds yet.
Notice further, thnt our text describes a
practical thinker. Ho turned his feet.
After all, perhaps, thinking Is not so un
common. But practical thinking is very
rare, and It Is tho measure of progress of
the kingdom of God amongst us. You are,
some of yet, concerned about your souls,
your presence here Is a proof of that.
Perhaps that is what brings you here.
You would fain go nwny and
cannot. It Is this: Your soul Is in the
wrong way, nnd Is wanting to lie put right
for eternity. Thnt Is what brought you.
Now, this Is what you hnve to do nest de
cide for Christ. There is a turning point,
and the turning point is now. The turning
point Is the Lord Jesus Christ lifted up in
the preaching of the Gospel. Turn with
Htm, turn at Him, In your thoughts, in
your purposes. In your plans, in your
opinion of him. Believe In Him and yout
soul Is turned.
When you have had the common sense tt.
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, from that
moment your ways are changed and your
destiny determined by the Blessed t me. I
think t have used this Illustration Itefore:
How, when we took our Sabbath-school
children Into the country, and the little
ones ran races, I went away down the Held
and became ibe turning point. I cried
back to the Intending runners that they
were to run to me. I was the turning point,
and they were to turn round nnd go back
agnfn to the goal. Well, so Jesus is the
turning point in your life, oh! I wish 1
could till the church with Him, am) make
tt impossible for you to niove out of fttis
place without saying to Him, "Yes, Lord,"
or "No, Lord."
That is what I am trying to do so to fill
your souls with the Image of Him, and the
Idea of Him, and the prsenee of your
Saviour, a really human being, and yet
God having a name like ymi. n being like
you, and a personality as you have; not a
mere myth or a pliant. on. hut Christ Jesus,
who lives, who loves, who wept, who died,
who rose, who Is coining ngnin.
