Perhaps her thoughts made a longer journey than the German dreamed of, for, mark you, the old dream little how their words and lives are texts and studies to the generation that shall succeed them. Not what we are taught, but what we see, makes us, aud the child gathers the food on which the adult feeds to the end. When the German looked up next, there was a look of supreme satisfac tion In the little mouth and the beanti ful eyes. "What dost see, chicken?" he asked. The child said nothing, and an ag onizing shriek was borne on the after noon breeze. 'O God, my God, I am killed!" cried the voice of Bonaparte as he, with wide open mouth and shaking llesh. fell into the room, followed by a half grown ostrich, which put Its head in at the door, opened Its beak at him and went away. "Shut the door! Shut the door! As you value my life, shut the door!" cried Bonaparte, sinking into a chair, his face blue and white, with a greenish ness about the mouth. "Ah, my friend," he said, tremulously, "eternity has looked me in the face! My life's thread hung upon a cord! The valley of the shadow of death!" said Bonaparte, seizing the German's arm. "Dear, dear, dear!" said the German, who had closed the lower half of the door and stood much concerned beside tlie stranger. "You have had a fright. I never l-:uew so young a bird to chase before, but they will take dislikes to certain people. I sent a boy away once liecan. e a bird would chase him. All, dear, dear!" "When I I >o\ed round." said Boua partii "the red and yawning cavity was libove me and the reprehensible paw raised to strike me. My nerves," sitiil Bona pi i te. suddenly growing faint, "always delicate, highly strung, are broken, broken! You could not give f little wine, a little brandy, my friend?" The old German hurried away to the bookshelf and took from behind the books a small bottle, half of whose contents he poured into a cup. Bona parte drained It eagerly. "llow do you feel now?" asked the German, looking at him with much sympathy "A little, slightly, better." The German went out to pick tip the battered chimney pot which had fallen before the door. "I am sorry you got the fright The birds are bad things till you know them," he said sympathetically as he put the hat down. "My friend," said Bonaparte, holding out ids hand. "I forgive you. Do uot be disturbed. Whatever the conse quences, 1 forgive you. I know, I be lieve, it was with no ill intent that you allowed me to go out. Give me your hand. I have no ill feeling, none!" "Yon are very kind," said the Ger man. taking the extended hand and feeling suddenly convinced that he was receiving magnanimous forgiveness for eonie great injur;-: "you are very kind." "Don't mention it." said Bonaparte. lie knocked out the crown of his caved in old hat, placed it oil the table before him, leaned ld.s elbows 011 the table and his face in his hands and contemplated it. "Ah," my old friend"—he thus apos trophized the hat—"you have served me long, you have served mo faithful ly, but the last day has come! Never more shall you be borne upon the head of your master; never more shall you protect his brow from J. he burning rays of summer or the cutting winds of winter. Henceforth bareheaded must your master go. Good by, good by, old hat!" At the end of tills affecting appeal tiw German rose. He went to the box at the foot of his bed. Out of It ho took a black hat which had evidently been seldom worn and carefully pre served. "It's not exactly what you may have been accustomed to," he said nervous ly, putting It down beside the battered chimney pot, "but It might be of some use, a protection to the heatl, you know." "My friend," said Bonaparte, "you are not following my advice. Yon are allowing yourself to be reproai f \ on my account. I»o not make yourself un happy. No; I shall go bareheaded." "No, no, 110!" cried the German ener getically. "I have no use for the hat, none at all. It is shut up In the box." "Then I will take It, my friend. It Is a comfort to one's own mind when you have unintentionally Injured any one to make reparation. I know the feeling. The hat may not bo of that rc tlned cut of which the old one was, hut It will serve; yes, It will serve. Thank you," said Bonaparte, adjusting It on his head and then replacing It on the table. "I shall lie down now and take a little repose," lie added. "I much fear my appetite for supper will be lost." "I hope not; 1 hope not," said the German, reseating himself at his work and looking much concerned as Bona parte stretched himself on the bed and turned the end of the patchwork quilt over his feet. "You must not think to make your departure, not for many days," said the Gorman presently. "Taut' Sannle gives her consent, and"— "My friend," said Bonaparte, closing his eyes sadly, "you are kind, but were It not that tomorrow Is the Sabbath, weak and trembling as I lie here, I would proceed on my way. I must seek work. Idleness but for a day Is painful. Work, labor— that Is the se cret of all true happiness." He doubled the pillow under his head and watched how the German drew the leather thongs In and out. After awhile Lyndall silently put her book on the shelf and went home, and the German stood up and liegan to mix some water and meal for roaster cakes. As he stirred them with his hands ho said: "I make always a double supply on Saturday night. The hands are then free it h the thoughts for Sunday." "The blessed Sabbath!" said Bona parte. There was a pause. Bonaparte twist ed his eyes without moving Ids head to see If snpper were already on the lire. "You must sorely miss the adminis tration of the Lord's word in this deso late spot," added Itonaparte. "Oh, how love 1 thine house and the place where thine honor dwelleth!" "Well, we do; yes," said the G.vr/n"" "But we do our best. We meet to gether, ami I—well. I say a few words, aud perhaps they are net wholly lost, not quite." "Strange coincidence," said Bona parte. "My plan always was the fMinifc. Was iu the Free State ouce—solitary farm oue neighbor. Every Sunday I called together friend aud neighbor, child and servant, and said. 'ltejoice with me, that we may serve the Lord,' and then 1 addressed them. Ah, those were blessed times!" said Bonaparte. "Would they might return!" The German stirred at the cakes, and stirred and stirred and stirred, lie could give the stranger his bed. and he could give the stranger his hat, and he could give the stranger liis brandy, but his Sunday service! After a good while he said: "I might speak to Tant* Sannle. 1 might arrange. You might take the service In my place if it"— "My friend," said Bonaparte, "it would give me the profoundest felicity, the most unbounded satisfaction, but In these wornout habiliments, in these deteriorated garments, it would not be possible, it would not be fitting, thefc I should officiate in service of One who for respect we shall not name. No, my friend. I will remain here, and. while you are assembling yourselves together In the presence of the Lord, I, in my solitude, will think of and pray for you. No; I will remain here." It was a touching picture—the soli tary man there praying for tliem. The German cleared his hands from the meal and went to the chest from which he had taken the black liat. After a little careful feeling about he produced a black cloth coat, trousers and waistcoat, which he laid on the table, smiling knowingly. They were of new, shining cloth, worn twice a year, when he went to the town to "nachtmaal." He looked with great pride at the coat as he unfolded It and held It up. "It's not the latest fashion, perhaps, not a west end cut, not exactly, but it might do, it might serve at a push. Try it on, try it on!" he said, his old gray eyes twinkling with pride. Bonaparte stood up and tried on the coat. It fitted admirably. The waist coat could be made to button by rip ping up the back, and the trousers were perfect, but below were the rag ged boots. The German was not dis concerted. Going to the beam where a pair of top boots hung, lie took tlieta off, dusted them carefully and jmt them down before Bonaparte. The old eyes now fairly brimmed over with sparkling enjoyment, "1 have only worn tlietn once. They might serve; they might be endured." Bonaparte drew them on and stood upright, his head almost touching the beams. The German looked at him with profound admiration. It was wonderful what a difference feathers made iu the bird. CHAPTER V. SUNDAY SF.KVICES —SERVICE NO. I. The boy Waldo kissed the pages of his book and looked up. Far over the fiat lay the "kopje," a mere speck; the sheep wandered quietly from bush to bush; the stillness of the early Sunday rested everywhere, aud the air nai fresh. lie looked down at his book. On its page a black insect crept. He lifted it off with his linger. Then he leaned on his elbow, w:>4ching its quivering an tennae and strange movements, smil ing. "Even you," he whispered, "shall not die. Even you he loves. Even you he will fold In his arms when he takes everything and makes It perfect aud happy." When th* thing had gone, he smooth ed the leaves of Ids Bible somewhat caressingly. The leaves of that book had dropped blood for lilm once. They had taken the brightness out of his childhood. From between them had sprung the visions that had clung about him and made night horrible. Adderlike thoughts had lifted their heads, had shot out forked tongues at him, asking mockingly strange, trivial questions that lie could not answer, miserable child: Why did the women In Mark see only one angel and the women In Luke two? Could a story be told In opposite ways and botli ways be true? Could It? Could It? Then, again: Is there noth ing always right and nothing always wrong? Could Jael, the wife of lleber the Keiilte, "put her hand to the nail and her right hand to the workman's hammer?" and could the Spirit of the Lord chant paeans over her, loud paeans, high paeans, set iu the book of the Lord, and no voice cry out It was a mean and dastardly sin to He aud kill the trusting In their sleep? Could the friend of God marry his own sister and be beloved, and the man who does It today goes to hell, to bell? Was there nothing always right or always wrong? Those leaves had dropped blood for once. They bad made his heart heavy and cold; they had robbed bis childhood of Its gladness. Now his lingers moved over thcui caressingly. ••My Father God knows, my Father knows," he said. "We cannot under stand. lie knows." After awhile lie whispered, smiling: "I heard your voice this morning when my eyes were not yet open. I felt you near me, my Fa ther. Why do you love me so?" His face was Illuminated. "In the last four months the old question has gone from me. 1 know you are good; 1 know you love everything; I know, I know, 1 know! I could not have borne it any more, not any more." lie laughed softly. "And all the while I was so miserable you were looklug at me and loving me, aud I never knew It. But I know it now. I feel It!" said the boy, and lie laughed low. "I feel It!" he laughed. After awhile he began partly to slug, partly to chant, the disconnected verses of hymns, those which spoke his glad ness, many times over. The sheep with their senseless eyes turned to look at him as he saug. At last he lapsed Into quiet. Then as the boy lay there staring at bush and sand he saw a vision. lie had crossed the river of Death and walked on the other bank In the Lord's land of Bculali. Ills feet sank Into the dark grass, and he walked alone. Then, far over the fields, he saw a figure coming across the dark green grass. At first ho thought It must be oue of the angels, but as it came nearer he began to feel what It was. And It came closer, closer to hlui, aud then the voice said, "Come," and ho knew surely who it was. He rati to the dear feet aud touched them with liis hands; yes. he held them fast. He lay down beside them. When he looked up, the face was over him. ami the glorious eyes were loving him, and they two were there alone together. lie laughed a deep laugh, then start ed up like one suddenly awakened from sleep. "O God," he cried, "1 cannot wait, I cannot wait! I want to die! 1 want to see him! 1 want to touch liini! Let me die!" He folded his hands, trem bling. "Ilow eau I wait so long—for long, long years perhaps? 1 want to die—to see him! 1 will die any death! Oh, let me come!" Weeping, he bowed himself and quiv ered from head to foot. After a long while he lifted his head. "Yes; I will wait. I will wait, but not long. Do not let it be very long. Jesus, King. I want you; oh. 1 want you— soon, soon!" He sat still staring across the plain with his tearful eyes. SERVICE SO. 11. In the front room of the farmhouse »at Taut' Sannie in her elbow chair. In her hand was her great brass clasp ed bymnbook; round her neck was a clean white handkerchief; uuder her feet was a wooden stove. There, too, sat Km aud Lyndall in clean pinafores aud new shoes; there, too, were the spruce Hottentot In a starched white "cappje" and her husband on the other side of the door, with his wool oiled nnd very much combed out and staring at his new leather boots. The Kaffir servants were not there because Tant' Sannie held they were descended from apes and needed no salvation. But the rest were gathered for the Sunday service and waited the otfleiator. Meanwhile Bonaparte and the Ger man approached arm in arm, Bona parte resplendent In the black cloth clothes, a spotless shirt and a spotless collar, the German In the old salt aud pepper, casting shy gkiuces of admira tion at his companion. At the front door Bonaparte removed his lint with much dignity, raised his shirt collar and entered. To the cen ter table he walked, put his hat sol emnly down by the big Bible and bow ed his head over It iu silent prayer. The Boer woman looked at the Hot tentot, and the Hottentot looked at the Boer wouiau. There was one thltrr on earth for which Tant' Sannie Ltd a profound reverence, which oxen od n subduing influence over her, wlii a made her for the time a better worn in. That thing was new, shining black cloth. It made her think of the "pred.kant;" it made her think of the eiders, who sat In the top pew of the church oil Sundays, with the hair so nicely oiled, so holy ami respectable, with their little swal lowtailed coats; it made her think of heaven, where everything was so hojy and respectable aud nobody wore tau cord aud the littlest augel had a black tail coat. She wished she hadn't call ed him a thior and a Human Catholic. She hoped the German hadn't t«Jd him. She wondered where those clothes were when he came in rags to her door. There was no doubt he was a very re spectable man, a gentleman. The German began to read a hymn. At the end of each liue Bonaparte groaned and twice at the end of every verse. The Boer woman bad often heard of persons groaning during prayers to add a certain poignancy auo tiulsh to them. Old Jan Vanderlinde, her mother's brother, always did it after he was converted, and she would have looked upon it as no especial sign of grace In any one. But to groau at hymn timel She was startled. She wondered If he remembered that she shook her fist In his face. This was a man of God. They knelt down to pray. The I*oer woman weighed i!SO pounds and could not kneel. She sat in her chair aud peeped between her crossed fingers at the stranger's back. She could not understand what he saJd, but he was in earnest. He shook the chair by the back rail till It made quite a little dust on the mud floor. When they rose froiu their knees, Bonaparte solemnly sealed himself In the chair and opened the Bible, lie blew his nose, pulled up his shirt col lar, smoothed the leaves, stroked down his capacious waistcoat, blew his nose again, looked solemnly round the room, theu began: "All liars shall have tlielr part in the lake which burnetii with lire and brim stone, which Is the second death." Having read this portion of Scrip ture, Itonaparte paused Impressively and looked all round the room. "I shall uot, my dear friends," ho sakl, "long detain you. Much of our precious time has already fled bliss fully from us in the voice of thanks giving and the tongue of praise. A few, a very few, words are all I shall address to you, and may they be as a rod of iron dividing the bones from the marrow and the marrow from the bones. "In the first place, what is a liar?" The question was put so pointedly and followed by a pause so profound that even the Hottentot man left off looking at his boots ami opened his eyes, though he understood not a word. "I repeat," said Bonaparte, "what is a liar?" The sensation was Intense. The at tention of the audience was riveted. "Have you any of you ever seen a liar, my dear friends?" There was a still longer pause. "I hop<- not; 1 truly hope not. Hut I will tell you what a liar is. I knew a liar one—a little boy who lived in Cape Town, In Short Mar ket street His mother md I sat to gether one day discours ig about our souls. " 'Here, Sampson,' sal'i his mother, 'go and buy sixpence of "meiboss" from the Malay round the corner.' "When he came hack, she said, 'How much have you got?' " 'Five,' he said. "He was afraid if he said six and a hulf she'd ask for some. And, my friends, that was a lie. The half of a 'luellios.s' stuck in ljls throat, and ho (lied and was burled. And where did the soul of that little liar go to, my friends? It went to the lake of tire and brimstone. This brings me to the sec ond point of my discourse. "What Is a lake of lire ami brim stone? I will tell you, my friends," mii<l llonaparte condescendingly. "The Imagination unaided cannot conceive It, but by the help of the Lord 1 will put It before your mind's eye. *1 was traveling In Italy once on a time. I came to a city called Home, a vast city, and near It Is a mountain which spits forth lire. Its name Is Etna. Now, there was a man In that city of Home who bad n< ' the fear of God before his eyes, anil he loved a woman. The woman died, and he walked up that mountain -pitting fire, uml when lie got to the i >p he threw himself In at the hole t !.it Is there. The next day I went up I was not ufrald. The Lord prescr <-s his serv ants. And In their han< • shall they bear thee up, lest at an time thou fall Into a volcano. It as a dark night when I not there, b< in the fear if tho Lord I walked to .lie edge of the yawning al>yss and looked In. That ••Ight that sight, my friends. Is 1m- Nol3 pressed up u lay most ludelible mem ory. 1 looked down into the lurid depths an incandescent lake, a melted lire, a seething sea. The bil lows rolled from side to side, aud on their tiery crests tossed the white skel eton of the suicide. The heat had burned the flesh from off the boues. They lay as a light cork upon tne melt ed fiery waves. One skeleton hand was raised upward, the linger pointing to heaven; the other, with outstretch ed finger, pointing downward, aN though it would say, 'I go below, but you, Bonaparte, may soar abdve.' I tazed; I stood entranced. At that In stant there was a crack in the lurid lake. It swelled, expanded, and the skeleton of the suicide disappeared, to be seen no more by mortal eye." Here again Bonaparte rested and then continued: "The lake of melted stone rose In the crater. It swelled higher and higher at tUe side; it streamed forth at the top. I had presence of mind. Near me waft f. rock. I stood upon it. The fiery tor rent was vomited out aud streamed oil either side of me. Aud through that long and terrible niglit I stood there al'>ne upon that rock, the glowing fiery lava on every hand, a monument of the long suffering and tender providence of the Lord, who spared tne that I might this day testify in your ears of him. "Now, my dear friends, let us deduce the lessons that are to be learned from this narrative. "Firstly, let us never commit suicide. That man Is a fool, my friends, that man is ltisaue, my friends, who would leave this earth, my friends. Here are joys innumerable, such as It hath not entered Into the heart of man to un derstand, my friends. Here are tlotheb, my friends; here are beds, my friends; here is delicious food, my friends. Out precious bodies were given us to love, to cherish. Oh, let us do sol Oh, let us never hurt them, but care for and love them, my friends." Every one was impressed, and Bona parte proceeded: "Thirdly, let us not love too much. If that young mnn had not loved that young woman, he would not have Jumped into Mount Etna. The good men of old never did so. Was Jere miah ever In love, or Ezeklel, or Hosea, or even any of the minor prophets? No. Then why should we be? Thousands are rolling in that lake at this mo ment who would say, 'lt was love that brought us here.' Oh, let us think al ways of our own souls first. "A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify, A never dying BOU! to save And fit it for the sky. "Oli, beloved friends, remember the little boy and the 'meiboss;' remember the young girl and the young man; re member the lake, the fire and the brimstone; remember the suicide's skeleton on the pitchy billows of Mount Etna; remember the voice of warning that has this day souuded in your ears. And what I say to you 1 say to all— watch. May the Lord add his blesß ing." ITO BB CONTINUED.] COOKING VERSUS MORALS. Perfect Men IN Are a Savins Grace to Many Men. When a man does not get the stimu lating nourishment which his nature craves, he resorts to liquor to supply the want. With this fact staring one in the face, Is it not wise to teach that unfailingly good food, with all the ele ments that stimulate and nourish the body aud the brain, has Its moral as well as Its physical benefits? There are cases on record proving the benefits of public school cooking, where the domestic sky has been per fectly cleared of clouds because good food was offered where before It had been badly cooked, and consequently did not properly nourish. In ono home the substitution of a well cooHbd cup of cocoa for the sloppy, herby tea that had become a component part of every morning meal, and a nice Indian cake or plate of mullius for the dry baker's loaf, began a work of reform. The father was proud of the daughter's skill as a cook; the mother, who had growu careless and shiftless and In different, was shamed by it. Tho con sequence was better provision on the part of one or more care In preparation on the part of the other. The mother was by no means above turning to account some of tho prac tical knowledge the daughter had ac quired under such competent training, and she began also to brush up her own knowledge that she had carelessly allowed to fall into disuse.
