CHATTER XXIII (Continued..)
Ird KiMonnn left the bouse with tin
'ate doctor', papers clasped tightly in his
liand. He put off examining them until
Ve should have reached the solitude of hi.
wn room. He ported from Armathwaite
ifter receiving the young man's assurance
that he would be present at the dinner
party to be given at The Crag, that even
ts. At seven o'clock Frank Armathwaite
found himself at the great house. He
watched hi. host narrowly, and it seemed
to him scarcely credible that Lady Kil
donan. excited and preoccupied as she
was. could fail to notice the great change
In her husband, which, instead of wearing
off, seemed to have intensified since the
doming. The rest of hi. guests noticed
it, and their surprise at meeting a cold,
tern man, instead of the kindly, genial
friend to whom they were accustomed,
caused a hush to fail upon the party, now
Crown larger by fresh arrivals. The last
o enter was Ned Crosmont, his face ku
tng more drawn and harassed than ever;
bis eyes were sunken and his sallow skin
kmked sickly and pallid. ,,
At that moment dinner was announced.
To Armathwaite who had talked me
chnnienlly to the ltuly by hi. side, th
meal was like a banquet of Hoyalists dur
ing the Keign of Terror. For, before th
second course was over, lord Kildonaa
bad uttered words which, bearing a deep
igniticuui-e to Armathwaite only, told
him that Lady Kildonan's doom was fixed
as surely as if, following out his fancy,
the had been summoned to the guillotine.
This was all the old Scotchman had said,
rn a quiet, almost indifferent tone, that
bore no trace of suspicion:
"I want you to go up to Liverpool again
o-morrow, Croeout, to see about some
business that I forgot when you went up
the other day. You won't mind going,
will youV" he added, with his usual cour
tey. "1 am quite at your service, your krd
hip," answered the agent, while Lady
Kildonan, from th-j other end of the table,
watched and listened with kindling eyes.
When the gentlemen followed the la
r!es into the drawing room. Lord Kildo
luiii, breakiu? through his usual custom,
went too. Aru;athwaite believed that this
was in order to shorten the solitary hours
whn he would have nothing to do but to
brood over his purpose, and over the se
cret Dr. I'eele's papers had divulged. Ar
luathwaite waited for an opportunity of
peaking to him apart, and wss glad
- :r Jew minuies sfter ,the- return
to hrcwmg"' roolfiC his hest came
straight to the corner where he was stand
ing by himself, watching. Crosmont and
Lady Kildonan as they conversed under
cover of a "brilliant" which a young iady
was performing on the piano. Under ti
cleer affectation of trilling conversation,
which Lady Kildonan knew well how to
assume, Frank thought he could detect
that she was urging Crosmont to some
course against which the agent was pro
testing. lrd Kildonan followed the di
rection of the doctor's eyes as he came up.
"Have you anything important to do
to-morrow evening?" he asked, laying his
band with more of command than affec
tion on the young man's shoulder.
"Nothing whatever. Lord Kildonan."
"Then will you come up here some time
between six and half-past? You tie-d
not say anything about it- I fhik, to any
body. Uriug your ulster."
"If vfyv 'aut me, your lordship, of
Course I am at your service," he said,
iinply.
And his host. Instead of letting him off.
repeated: "Between six o'clock and half
iaet, then," and left him.
Soon after Armathwaite took his leave.
CIIAPTEIt XXIV.
On the following afternoon, at a quar
ter past six, Frank Armathwaite came
back to The Crags, and was shown
straight into the study where Lord Kil
donan, with a long, dark traveling cloak
on the table beside him, was waiting. He
greeted the young man with a warm grip
f the hand and a rather grim smile.
"Ah, so you have not decided to desert
me, af?r all," he said in a subdued voice,
wlrh a sort of cheerless satisfaction. "Are
you prepared to take a journey with me?"
"I am prepared to do whatever you
please. Lord Kildonan."
At that moment a servant appeared and
Informed his master that the phaeton was
at the door. He rose, and signed to Ar
mathwaite to pass out before him.
They went along the gallery, crossed the
hall, and got Into the phaeton In perfect
silence. It came Into Armath waite's mind
mm they drore along rapidly in the dark
ness that this mournful and mysterious
journey was like a pilgrimage to fetch
borne the dead. They skirted the head of
the lake and went fast along the other
side.
It was a cold night, but very clear.
Frank's " eyesight was good enough for
him to make out that a vehicle some dis
tance ahead of them, and going in the
same direction, was Crosmont'. Norfolk
cart. It stopped, with a very sudden
pall up, to allow a figure that seemed to
spring suddenly from the wayside to get
In. Frank told Lord Kildonan in a low
voice what he saw, and obeyed his direc
tion to drive more slowly. The pause
made by the vehicle in front was the short
est poMible; still, acting under Lord Kil
donan's instructions, Frank allowed the
distance between them to Increase until
the Norfolk cart waa nndistinguishable in
the gloom. On the outskirts of Brank
some, jnat where the first few straggling
bouses began, there was a bend in the
-,ai," round which the cart disappeared al
togetber. When the phaeton had passed
the bend in Its turn, it was much closer to
the cart, which had apparently stopped to
allow the temporary passenger to descend,
for the driver was again alone. Slacken
ing pace, Frank drove on, following the
oart, which stopped at a little Inn. Here
the driver got out and went indoors, while
another man took his place, and turned
the cart round to drive back to Mereside;
s the phaeton drove past, Frank saw
that it was Crosmont's groom.
Always acting in accordance with Lord
jKllficman's sug-f-stions, the young ctor
(whipped up tlie horses, drove post the sta
tion and stopiKHl. The two gentlemen
then alighted; and after having given di
rections to the groom, a fellow-Norrhern-w,
in whose discretion his master had con
fidence, to drive straight back to The
Oag without any stoppage. Lord Kil
donan led the way Intq the station by a
private entrance, and ,t straight to the
station master's roe .ere they could
wait without fear of . ,jg seen.
. Frank west to the door, and looked
inroiign the giasa of the upper panel, at
the groups of passengr. gathering on the
platform a. the Liverpool train was
brought alongside. Crosmont was there
among the earliest arrivals, pacing np and;
flown, not with the sauntering tread of tua
ordinary traveler, but with the restless
strides of a man whose journey is a flight.
The station master Tjinieelf had brought
ford Kildonan's two tickets, and had re
served a compartment for him and his
companion exactly opposite to the room
where they were waiting. Frank, .till
watching at the door, saw CrovxnoDt stop
I suddenly short in his walk, and, looking
along me piatrorm in rne mrecuon 01 uie
agent's gaze, he saw a tall woman, shab
bily dressed, with a limp in her gait, cross
the platform hurriedly from the booking
self. Frank's hecrt seemed to leap up as
tie recognized the figure. Lady Kildonan
piust have got wind of her husband's in-
?enuea irorvuil, auu inventeu vi lugeuiou.
prick as a reward for him. Crosmont
stood still until the woman closed the door
of the compartment upon herself, then
made straight for the nearest first-class
carriage and got in. The guard was cry
ing, "Take your seats!" The doctor felt
I Arl Kildonan'. hand upon hi. .boulder,
and in a few moments they, too, had taken
their places.
The journey to Liverpool occupied four
hours and a half. Knowing in what part
of the train the two persons on whose
track they were had traveled, they found
t easy to watch them into a close cab.
Bud then, without being seen, to take a
hansom themselves and direct the driver
to follow t a little distance. A. the
woman crossed the platform, Frank
watched her narrowly, and his spirits rose
higher and higher as he noticed again the
slight limp in her gait, and grew every
moment more certain that Lord Kildonan,
for his own happiness, for every one's
happiness, had been tricked, and waa fol
lowing the wrong woman.
They were driving down towards the
docks, through a low part of Liverpool,
along dark streets Kned with small nar
row houses, of eril aspect and evil name.
The cab, which was some distance in
front of then, stopped in a street as dark
and narrow as the rest, but in which a
few houses, larger than the others, with
doorways that had once been imposing
and handsome, told that they had former
ly occupied a b-tter position in the world.
Fr-'Tik noted that the man and the wom
an they were following, after tfasining
fhe cab which sad brought them, walked
ilowly on and began to glance behind them
from time to time.
"They suspect they are being followed!"
whispored Frank, with excitement.
Lord Kildonan shook bis head. "Sus
picion Is a habit with the people who fre
quent this quarter," he answered, in the
same tone.
With his .-tick he directed the driver
to' turn the next corner, and then he and
Armathwaite got out.
"Wait here for us," said Lord Kildonan.
"We may be some time."
The man looked down at him scrutiniz
rngly by the light of his lamp, and shook
his head.
"I'd rtber be paid my fare now, sir. if
it's the same to you," he said. "I've
driven parties hereabouts before, that
have stayed some time, and when they
came out they didn't always happen to
have the money for a fare about them.
No offense to you, gentlemen; but, you
see, I know Liverpool, and I know the
house you want, though yon do get me to
stop in the next street. I knows 'em by
the quality, and when I bring reglar swell
tip-toppers this way, it's always 82 Blank
street they wants, though it's only the
young 'una as gives the address."
"I'll take your number, and give you a
sovereign as a retaining fee," said Lord
Kildonan, quietly. "That will restore
your confidence, will It not? When I re
turn. I will give you another sovereign
to drive me back to Lime street. Are
tou ready to wait?"
"Well, sir, under those circumstances,
certainly."
This colloquy took two or three minutes,
and when Lord Kildonan and Arma
thwaite returned to Blank street, the per
son, whom they were pursuing had disap
peared. They walked the whole length of
the street looking for No. 82, aa the cab
man had luckily given them an address
which Lord Kildonan assumed to be the
one of which they were in search. For a
long time they looked in vain. Such
houses aa still retained traces of figures
on their shabby doors, seemed to have
been numbered and then renumbered at
random. There were lights to a few win
dows, but there waa nothing to gnide them
in their search. At last they heard foot
steps coming quickly along the street on
the opposite side of the way a man who
seemed, by the glimpse they caught of
him, to be well-dressed, and of the so
called "respectable" class, crossed the
road, almost brushing past them, and
went np a narrow court or passage which
divided one of the small houses of the
street from one of the largest. In the
windows of the large house there waa not
a single Light. Lord KUdonan gripped his
companion's arm, not with nervous excita
bility, but with the satisfaction of disoov-
j ery, and led him up the court in the rear
i of the stranger. The latter was so far
! ahead of them already that they had only
j time to see him pull a bell, which gave a
fa. nt. single sound, like that of a small
pen jc, and. turning the handle of a door in
! the wall of the big bouse, disappear
through it rapidly and without noise.
lrd Kildonan and Armathwaite came
np to the door. By a ray of moonlight
vrrricn pierced into the narrow court, anfl
showed the woodwork to be shabby an
Unpretentious, they saw to the 1ft of tht
'door a small barred window with no ligut
lu it, which suggested a watchful eye be
lli nd, and under the bell the number 82
in very small figures. Lord Kildonan
pulled the bell, opened the door, and walk
ed in confidently, Armathwaite following,
with a sense that all his youthful nerve
did not enable him to put on so bold a
fiont aa the old Scotchman seemed to
wear with ease. They were In a small,
bare, stone-paved passage, with nothing
to distinguish it from the kitchen en
trance of an ordinary private house.
Straight in front of the door waa a pas
sage, down which Lord Kildonan prompt
ly proceeded to make hi. way. Arma
thwaite, who was following, heard a step
behind him, and a man's voice saying!
"I beg your pardon, sir." Turning, both
gentlemen sew a lktle man, with a baiss
' apron on, innocently occupied m brush
big boots. Nothing could, have seemed
more genuine than this diligent man-servant's
surprise at the intrusion of two
itrangers, but for a certain look of shrewd
Inquiry in his little black eyes, which the
visitors did not fail to notice,. Armv
thwaite would have been completely
concerted but for Lord KUdonan. who,
tossing the man a sovereign, said briefly,
"Member.!" and turned again to walk on.
Armath waits remembered, with a Uash of
Intelligence suddenly grown keener, a
suspicion which had occurred to him be
fore; by the time they had reached the
end of the long, dark paaMge. he knew
into what kind of house Cry bad route,
and was prepared for the sight which
met their eyes when, directed by the sound
of voices which broke upon their ear.
when they pulled open a baize-covered
swing door on the left at fhe end of the
passage, they entered a room, the atmos
phere of which was almost unbearably
close, containing four or five small card
tables. With hardiy a glance at the play
ers in this room and without releasing
the young man's arm. Lord Kildonan
-rossed the room to a doorway, before
which bung a thick curtain. Raising this,
tbey nassed through together.
The apartment they now entered was
much larger than the first. In addition to
small tables in two of the corners, it con
tained one long table, noon which the
deepest interest of the assembly was evi
dently concentrated.
Armathwaite felt the elder man's grip
tighten on his arm. He looked up quick
lr, and felt aa if be had been turued to
Ice. Following the direction of .the old
man's eyes, be saw Crosmont, bis face
set - nd livid with sullen anxiety and de
spair, standing among the onlookers on
the opposite side of fhe room, watching,
not the cards, but an insignificantly dress
ed woman. She was sitting next but one
to the dealer, staking her money, watch
ing the game, with the stolid steadiness
of an old band. Through the thickness
of her veil, as Armathwaite watched. h
saw two steel-bright eyes flash Kke spsrk.
of light; underneath the thick black edge
he saw two cocal-red lips tightly set. In
spite of his suspicions, in spite of his fears,
h was be who staggered, and not the older
pan -by bis side, when he recognized in
the one person in the crowded room whom
on careful inspection be would have chos
en as rhe ideal representative of the pas
sion for play, the well-disguised but un
mistakable face and form of Lady Kildo
nan. 'xae secret was out: .he was a garnVn-rj
not from pleasure, not from choice, but be
cause it was in her blood, bred by genera
tion, of spendthrift, fast-living ancestors,
whom nothing but laws of entail, and the
occasional happy accident of a posseasoi
of the estates who waa free from the fam
ily vice, bad stopped in the race of ruin.
Her father's strange injunctions; her fev
erish anxiety to go abroad; her exhausted
calm after the visits to Liverpool; all was
explained. As she sat with her brilliant
eyes Incapable of seeing anything but ths
cards, all the passion of her ardent, en
ergetic animal nature concentrated in the
one absorbing pursuit, so that in the very
presence of her husband, her judge, she
remained as unmoved, as unconscious, as
if be had been a statue, the pity and hor
ror of it ail for 4the deceived husband
for the guilty but ill-starred wife struck
Armatiwtire Titi a fore that taraei
him giddy, and sick, and trembling.
Lord Kildonan looked at him, meeting
bis grief-stricken eyes with cold gray
ones.
"The room Is ower warm for ye," he
said, in a low voice, with a strong accent.
And they made their way quite quietly,
disturbing nobody, exciting no reinara, in
to the first room.
(To be continued.)
Interest on Charity.
Baron James de Rothschild, being a
great lover of art, consented at one
time to pose aa a beggar In a painting
which hla friend, Eugene Delacroix,
was engaged on. This obliging act
was attended by twofold results, as
we learn from a story which the Fam
ily Herald prints.
On the appointed day Baron de
Rothschild appeared at the studio. The
famous painter placed a tunic round
the banker's shoulders, put a stout staff
In bis band, and mode him pose as if
he were resting on tbe step of an an
cient Roman temple. In this attitude
be was discovered by one of 'the artist's
pupllnuwho, struck by the excellence of
the model, congratulated his master on
having found Just what he needed.
Naturally concluding tbe model had
only Just been brought In from some
church porch, tbe pupil seized an op
portunity to slip a piece of money Into
the beggar's band. Baron de Roths
child thanked him with a look, and
kept the money. Tbe pupil soon qui
ted the studio.
In answer to Inquiries made, Dela
croix told the baron that the young
man possessed talent, but no means.
Shortly afterward the young fellow re
ceived a letter, stating that charity bore
Interest, and that tbe accumulated In
terest on tbe amount be had so gener
ously given to one whom he supposed
to be a beggar was now tbe sum of ten
thousand francs to the young artist's
credit at Rothschilds'.

for many years. His latest account of
it comes froai the new Yerkes observa

facts to show that birds are nature's

ed, could destroy every blade of grass
n an acre of cultivated ground. In
thirty days from the time It Is hatched
in ordinary caterpillar increases 10,009
times In bulk, and the food It lives and
grows on la vegetable. The Insect pop
ulation of a single cherry tree Infested
with aphides - was calculated by a
prominent entomologist at no less than
12.000,000! The bird population of cul
tivated country districts has been esti
mated at from 700 to 1,000 per square
mile. This Is small compared with the
number of insects, yet as each bird con
sumes hundreds of insects every day
the latter are prevented from becom
ing the scourge tbey would be but for
lielr feathered enemies.
THE LADY OB THE TIGER

Did He Sell ths IosT
They bad not been on particularly
food terms since the man In the cot
ner bouse bought the dog. The man
who lived next door didn't think much
f dogs anyway especially city dogs
and be had not hesitated to say aa
much on two or three occasions. Con
sequently when be called and suggest
ed to the man In the corner bouse that
he would like to buy the dog It occa
sioned considerable surprise.
"But I thought you didn't like t'os."
tald the man In the corner houne.
"I don't," admitted the man who
lived next door.
"And that yon considered city djgs
t little bit worse than any otber kind,"
persisted the man In the corner house.
"Quite right," returned the man who
lived next door.
"And that In the line of city docs you
regarded this one of mine as Just a
tittle the worst that ever came under
your notice."
"Right again. I don't mind saying,
now that yon call my1 attention to it,
that your dog Is the meanest, ugliest
yelping car that ever kept a neigh
borhood awake at wight. That's why
I want to buy him from you."
"Well, I won't sell," announced tbe
man In tbe corner boose decidedly. "I
know yon now for Just tbe kind of a
man yon are, and I have too much re
gard tor tbe dog. Even If I didn't care
nythlng for him I wouldn't numHUta
dim by compelling him to acknowledge
such a man as you for a master. I
wouldn't be as cruel as that to any
log."
"Aa you please," said the man who
lived next door. "I thought It no more

that yon were entitled to tbe first
chance. However, my conscience la
clear now, and to-morrow I shall let
the .vport be circulated among tbe boys
of the neighborhood that I am willing
to pay a reasonable price for that dog
anl that It doesn't make any difference
whether he Is delivered alive or dead.
Of course. It will be easier to deliver
him dead, and It's likely "
"Do yon mean to say that yon wlV

"I have already done so, bat you said
yon didn't want to sell. However. I a as
quite willing to give yon a little time
to think It over. We'll let the matter
rest until to-morrow. Of courser yon
understand It's perfectly Immaterial to
me whether I buy tbe dog from you or
from one of the boys or from some
passing tramp who temporarily ac
quires possession."
Talk about the problem of the lady
or the tiger! It's nothing compared to
the problems that confront many of as

Did he sell the dog?
NEW WAV TO MAKE A TOWN.
Snssis Is Bnildlng- It First and Will
Supply ths Inhabitants Later.
An engineer and some workmen have
been busy for months near the Arctic
Ocean making a little town. They have
not bothered their heads about the In
habitants, for tbe Russian Govern
ment will see to that. Instead of a lot
of persona settling la the same place
I and making a town, the town Is being
built and tbe residents will come later.
The town bos also been provided with
a name before anybody lives In it. Its
name to Jekaterlnograd, and the most
imposing thine about the town as yet
is this name, nor was nothing there
year ago to show that a white man
had ever seen the site, but now It Is
begtnnlnc to look something like
town, needing only Inhabitants to mak
H qnlte a go-ahead place.
The town Is m the Bay of Kola, near
the Arctic coast of Russian Lapland,
a flat and uninteresting region. In a
large part of which scarcely a shrub,
much less a tree, will grow.
In August last year the Russian Gov
ernment sent to the site of tbe proposed
town, which had alresdy been selected,
a civil engineer named Olsen. whose
specialty Is harbor Improvements, and
soon twenty men under his direction
were hard at work building a couple of
piers out Into the bay for the use of the
fishing craft, which will give the town
all Hs Importance. Last winter fifty
wooden buildings were constructed at
Archant-elAk, on the other side of the
White Sea. It to probable that the
work to now going on of transporting
them to the coast of the Arctic Ocej
where they will be hammered together
and set up for tbe people who are going
to live In tbe new town, and as soon as
everything Is ready the town of Kola,
farther south, will be abandoned, ev
erybody there will be transferred at
the expense of Russia, and Jekaterlno
grad will be all ready to begin business.
The thing that will make the town Is
the Arctic fisheries In the neighbor
hood, which employ about 1,500 men
every summer. For the purposes of
these hardy tollers the new town Is
much more conveniently situated than
Kola, and that Is the reason why Kola
to to be deserted and a new town has
sprung np nearer the sea. New York

English Servants' Wage.
The rates of wages paid household
servants In England are very much less
than those paid In the United States,
and the service to much better. The
official statistics show that the general
average of wages for all classes of do
mestic servants In London is only S76.25
a year, or $6.35 a month. Good butlers
are paid as much aa $150 a year. La
dies' maids come next, and those who
have accompltohmenits get very nearly
the same wages. The official statistics

Text: "I answerel thne in the secret
place of thunder." Psalms 81: vii.
It is past midniirht, and 3 o'clock in th
morning; far enough from sunset and sun
rise to make the darkness very thick, and
the Egvptinn armv in pursuit of the escap
ing Israelites are on tun bottom of the K1
Sea, Its waters having been set up on eithei
side in masonry of sapphire, for God can
make a wall as solid out of water as out ol
granite, nnd the trowels with which these
two walls were built were none the less
Iiowerful because invisible. Such wallf
lad never before been lifted. When I saw
the waters of the Ued Sea roiling through
the uez Caual they were blue and beauti
ful and flowing like other waters, but a;
the Egyptians look up to them built into
walls, now on one side and now on the
other, they must hnve been frowning wa
ters, for it was probable that the same
power that lifted them np might suddenly
fling them prostrate. A great lantern of
cloud hung over this chasm between the
two walls. The door of that lantern was
openeil toward the Israelites ahead, giving
them light, and the back of the lantern
was toward the Egyptians, and it growled
and rumbled and jarred with thunder; not
thunder like that which cheers the earth
after a drought, promising the refreshing
shower, but charged and surcharged with
threats of doom. The Egyptian cantains
lost their presence of mind, and the horses
reared and snorted and would not answer
to their bits, and the chariot wheels got in
terlocked and torn off, and the charioteers
were hurled headlong, and the Red Hea fell
on all the host. The confusing an I con
founding thunder was in answer to the
prayer of the Israelites. With their backs
cut hy the lash and their feet bleeding and
their bodies decrepit with the suffering off
whole generations, they had asked Almighty
God to ensepulclier their Egyptian pur
suers in one great sarcophagus, and ths
splash and t'l roar of the Red Sea as It
dropped to its natural bed were only the
shutting of thesarcophagus on a dead hosti
That is the meaning of the text, when God,
says: "I answered thee in the secret place
of thunder."
Now, thunder, all up and down the Bible,
Is tbe symbol of power. Small wits deprs
elate the thunder, anu say, "It is the
lightning that strikes." But God evident
ly thinks the thunder of some importance,
or He would not make so much of it. Thafj
man must be without imagination and with
out sensitiveness a id without religion whej
can, without emoUon, see the convention
of summer clouds called to order by tbi
falling gavel of the thunderbolt. There is;
nothing in the natural world that awes am
solemnizes mo as the thunder. The Egyp
tian platrue of hail was accompanied wit H
this fell diapason of the heaven. While
Samuel and his men were making a burnt
offering of a lamb, and tbe Philistines wera
about to attack them, it was hy terrorizing
thunder they were discomfited. Job, who
was a combination of the Dantesque and
the Miltonic, was solemnised by this rever
beration of the heavens, and eripd: "The
thunder of His power, who can under
stand?" and He chalienCuel the universe by
saying: "Oan'st thou thunder witn a voice
like Him?" and he throws Rosa Bonheur's
"Horse Fair" into the shade by the Bible
photograph of a war horse, when he de
scribes hUOsek as "clothed with thunder."
Because of the power of James and John,
they were called "the sons of thunder."
The law given on the basaltic crags of
Mouut Sinai wasempbasied with this cloudy
ebullition. The skies all round about St.
John at Patmos were full of the thunder of
war, and the thunder of Christly triumph,
and the thunder of resurrection, and the
thunder of eternity.
But when ray text says, I answered thee
in the secret place of thunder, it suggests
there is some mystery about the thunder.
To the ancients the cause of this bombard
ing the earth with loud sound must have
been more of a mystery than it is to us.
The lightnings, which were to them wild
monsters ranging through the skies, in our
time have been domesticated. We harness
electricity to vehicles and we cage it in
lamps, and every schoolboy knows some
thing about the fact that it Is the passage of
electricity from oloud to cloud that makes
the heavenly racket which we oall thun
der. But, after all that chemistry has
taught the world, there are mysteries about
this skyey resonance, and my text, true In
the time of the psalmist, is true now, and
always will be true, that there is some se
cret alHMit the place of thunder.
Now, right alongiy natural law. there
is always a spiritdra law. As there is a
secret place of natural thunder, there is
a secret place of moral thunder. In other
words, the religious power thnt you see
abroad in the church and in the world has
a hiding place, and in many cases it is
never discovered at all. I will use a simil
itude. 1 can give only the dim outline of
a particular case, for many of the remark
able circumstances I have forgotten. Many
years ago mere was a large cnurcn wnicn
was characterized by strange and unac
countable conversions. There were no
great revivals, but Individual cases of
spiritual arrest and transformation. A
young man sat in one of the front pews.
He was a graduate of Yale, brilliant as
the north star and notoriously dissolute.
Kverybody knew bim and liked him for
his genial ty, but deplored his moral er
rantry. To please his parents he was every
Sabbath moruiug in church. One day
there was a ringing of the door bell of the
pastor of that church, and that young man,
whelmed with repentance, implored prayer
and advice, and passed Into complete re
formation of heart and life. All the neigh
borhood was astonished and asked. Why
was this? His father and mother had said
nothing to him about his soul's welfare.
On another side of the same church sat an
old miser. He paid his pew rent, but was
hard on the poor and had no interest in any
philanthropy. 1'iles of money! And people
said: "What astrugglehe will have, when
he quits this life, to part with his bonds
and mortgages." One day he wrote to his
minister: "i'lease to call immediately. I
have a matter of great Importance about
which I want to see you." When the pastor
came iu the man could not speak for emo
tion, but after awhile he gathered self-control
enough to say:
"i nave lived lor tnis world too long. I
want to know if you think I can be saved,
and, if so, I wish you would tell me how.''
Upon his soul the light soon dawned, and
the old miser, not only revolutionized In
heart but In life, began to scatter bene
factions, and toward all the great chari
ties of the day be became a cheerful and
bountiful almoner. What was the cause of
this change everybody asked; and no one
was capable of giving an intelligent
auswer. In another part of that same
church sat Sabbath by Sabbath a beautiful
and talented woman, who was a great
society leader. She went to church be
cause that was a respectable thing to do,
and in the neighborhood where she lived
it was hardly respectable not to go.
Worldly was she to the last degree, and all
her family worldly. She had at her house
the Hnestlermans that were ever danced
and the costliest favors that were ever
given, and though she attended church
she never liked to hear any story of pathos
and as to religious emotion of any kind
she thought it positively vulgar. Wines,
cards, theaters, rounds of costly gayety
were to her the highest satisfaction. One
day a neighbor sent in a visiting card and
this lady came down the stairs in tears
and told the whole story how she had not
slept for several nights, and she feared sh
was going to lose tier soul, and sne won-der-d
if some one would not come around
and pray with her. From that time bei
entire demeanor was changed, and tbouo
t-.e was not called npon to sacrifice any of
ler amenities of life, sho consecrated her
(canty, her social position, her family, her,
ill to God and the church and usefulness.1
Kverybody said in regard to her: "Have
fou noticed the change, and what In the
Id make
urseof
world caused It?" And no one coul
tuttafActory exnlanation. In the course
lwoyn..oS? V.r w ,
t nir nnmn fnanv mrn iifw
fated cases of unexpected and unac
countable conversions took place. The
very people whom no one thought would
be affected hy such considerations were
converted. The pastor ami the officers of
the church were on the lookout for the
solution of this religious phenomenon.
"Wliere is it?" they said, "and who is it,
and what Is it?"
At last the discovery was made and all
wat explained. A poor old Christian wo
man standing in the vestibule of the church
oae Siimlav morning trying to get her
breath airain before she went upstairs to
the gallery, heard the Inquiry and told the
secret. For years she had been in the
hahit of concentrating all her prayers for
particular persons in that church. Hhe
would swe some man or womau present,
and, though she might not know the per
son's name, she would pray for that person
until he or she was convene) to (tod. All
her prayers were for that one person iust
thnt one. She waited and waited for com-
mnnton days to see when the candidates
for memhcrfhlp stood up whether her pray
ers hnd been effectual. It turned out that
these marvelous instances of conversion
were the result of that old woman's pray
srs as sat in the gallery Sabbath by Sabbath,!
bent and wizened and poor and unnoticed.
.V llttl cloud of consecrated humanity hov-
sring in the eallerins. That was the secret
nlace of the thunder. There is some hid-,
ien, unknown, mysterious source for al-i
most all the moral and religious power de-l
nonstrated. Not one out of ten million)
orayera ever strikes a human ear. On pub-;
ic occasions a minister of religion voices'
:he supplications of an assemblage, but the;
prayers of all the congregation are im
silence. There is not a aiwon.l in a century!
when prayers are not ascending, but my-!
naas o uiem are not even as loud as ai
rhisper, for God hears a thought as plainly
is a vocali.atiou. rnat silence of suppli
;ation hemispheric and perpetual is thaj
lecret place or tnunder.
The. dav will come God hasten it whenl
people will Hnd out the velocity, the ma-1
iesty, the multlpotenceof prayer. We brag
ibout our limited express trains which nut
is down a thousand miles away in twenty
tour hours, but here is something by which!
In a moment we mav confront neonle 300(1
miles away. We brag about our telephones,
but here is something that beats the tele-j
phone in utterance and reply, for God says,.
"Before they call. I will hear." We brag
ibout the phonograph, in which a man can
jpeak, and his words and the tones of his.
voice can be kept for aifes, and by the turn
ing of a crnnk the words may come forth
apon the ears of another century, but,
prayer allows us to speak words into tbe
aars of everlasting remembrance and en,
rhe other side of eternities they will be!
heard. Oh. ye who are wasting your breath
mil wasting your nerves and wasting your
ungs wishing for this good and that goodJ
for the church and the world, why do voul
not go into the secret place of thunder?
"But, snys some one, "that Is a beauti
ful theory, yet it does not work in my ease
For I am in a cloud of trouble or a cloudi
3f persecution or a clou 1 of poverty or a.
5loud of perplexity." How glad I am1
that you told me that. That is exactly the)
place to which my text refers. It wasfroml
t cloud that God answered Israel thel
sloud over the chasm cut through the RedJ
Jea the cloud that was light to the Israel
ites and darkness to 4be Egyptians. It
ras from a cloud, a tremendous cloud.
.hat God ma.le reply. It was a cloud that
was a ei-ret place of thunder. So you'
;annot get away from the consolation of.
ny text by talking that way. Let all the
eople under a cloud hear it. "I answered
jhee in the seeret place of thunder." .
This subject helps me to explain some)
filings you have not understood about cer-1
tain useful men and women. Many of theml
have not a superabundance of education.)
If you had their brain in a post mortem ex-'
minati. r. snn i could weigh It It would
not weigh auy heavier ihan the average.
They have not anything especially impres
sive In personal appearance. They are not
very fluent of tongue. They pretend to
nothing unusual In mental faculty or so-
lal Intluence, but you reel their power.
you are elevated in their presence, you are
i better man or a better woman having
confronted them. You know that in in
tellectual endowment vou are their su-
oerior, while in the matter of moral and
religious influence they are vastly your su
perior. Why is this lo nnd the reve
ation of this secret you must go back
:hirty or forty or perhaps sixty years to
he homestead where this n:au was
brought up. It Is a winter morning, and
:he tallow candle is lighted and the
Ires kindled, sometimes the shavings
lardly enough to start the wo id. The
nother is preparing the breakfast, the blue
dged dishes are on the table, and the lid of
:ho kettle on the hearth rattles with the
(team. The father Is at the barn feeding
:he stock the oats thrown into the horses'
)ln and the cattle crunching the corn. The
hildren, earlier than they would like and
ifter being called twlee, are gathered at
:he table. The blessing of God is asked on
:hc food, and, the meal over, the family Bl
ue Is put upon tue white tablecloth and a
diapter is read and a prayer made, which
includes all the interests for this world and
the next. The children pay not much at
tention to the prayer, for it is about the
ame thing day after day, but It puts upon
them an impression that ten thousand
years will only make more vivid and tre
mendous. As long as the old folks live
their prayer Is for their, children and their
sblldren s children.
Day in nnd day out. month in and month
out, year in and year out, decade In and
decade out, tue sons and daughters of that
family are remembered In earnest prayer,
and they know it and feel it and they can
not get away from It. Two funerals after
awhile not more than two years apart, for
It is seldom that there is more than that
lapse of time between father's going and
mother's going two funerals put out of
sight the old folks. The daughters are In
homes where they are incarnations of good
sense, industry and piety. The sons, per
haps one a farmer, another a merchant,
another n mechanic, another a physician
another a minister of the Gospel, useful,
consistent, admired, honored. What a
power for good those seven sons and!
daughters! Where did they get the power?
From the s.-hools and the seminaries and
the colleges? Oh, no, those these may have
helped. From their superior mental en
dowment? No; I do not think they bad un
usual mental caliber. From accidental cir
cumstances? No, they had nothing of what
is called good luck.
I think we will take a train and ride to
the depot nearest to the homestead from
which those men and women started. The
train bnlts. Let us stop a few minutes at
the viilnge graveyard and see the tomb
stones of the parents. Yes, the one was
seventy-four years of age and the other
seventy-two, and the epitaph says "that
after a useful life they died a Christian
death." On over the country road we ride
the road a little rough, and once down in
a rut it is hard to get the wheels out again
without breaking the shafts. But at last
we come to the lane In front of the form
house. Let me get out of the wagon and open
the gate while you drive through. Here
is the arbor under which those boys and
girls many years ago used to play, but It is
quite out of order now, for the property it
lu other hands. Yonder is the orchard,
where they used to thrash tbe trees fot
apples, sometimes before they were quite
ripe. There is the mob, where they hunted
for eggs before Easter. There is the door
sill upon which they used to sit. There ii
the room In which they had family pray
ers, and where they all knelt the fatbei
there, the mother there, and the boys an
girls there. We have got to the foiintait
of pious ami gracious influences at lost
There Is tbe nlace that dStlded those seven
earthly and Immortal destinies. Behold!
Behold! That Is the secret place of thunder.
The reason we ministers do not accom
plish more is because others do not pray
torns enough, and we do not pray for onr
selves enough. Every minister could tell
you a thrilling story of sermons, sermons
nasty and impromptu, pecause oi ium-mia
and sick beds, annoyances in the parish,
yet those sermons directing many
pouls to God. And then of ser
mons prepared with great care, and
research and toil uninterrupted: yet those
sermons fulling flat or powerless. The
difference was probably in tne amount o.
private prayer offered for the success of
those-rvlccs.

We want the power a man gets when he is

said to him, "How can you endanger your

Dear brethren and sitfs in Christ, our
