It seems as If this world was special ly devised to develop the spirit of sym pathetic helpfulness. The powers of nature are held to orderly working In such a way that human life is bene fited by their operation. Seasons come and go; seedtime and harvest make an orderly succession. Yet thero is al ways the liability to accident. Danger la an element never long absent. -Disease, want and distress come to tho good as well as the vicious. No calcu lation can Insure freedom from re verses and suffering. No one Is re moved from need of help and sympa thy of his fellows. It Is just such a world as Is best suited to develop help fulness in men, good fellowship and fraternity as well as manly coulldence, fortitude, generosity and love. If you fall to become truly manly and woman ly, It Is not because the opportunity has been lucking. Are you helping Jesus to redeem this world? Are you helpful to Ills needy ones?

People mild liu hnil "soured en tho world," and assuredly, judging from the sharp, bitter remarks whMi often passed her lips, one would not iinngino that she found tho world full of sweetness and light. Her story wns one not uncommon In New Kiigliind life. Wlion preparations were goiui( on for her mnrringe to Kicli li nl YVnldron, Itelieccii's mother, who was a widow, fell ill. Kirlniicl, who hud been wailing a long time for Kebecea, in Isted upon the innrriiiuo lieing perforin rd without delay, for as their new homo would he within sitht of (lie Stoncr place Ueheecit could still lie with her mother find oversee a nurse, lint the mother selfishly oh.lrcted. "She knew Itchcccn would not he the same to her ufter mar riage. No one else would nurse her as well, and she wouldn't he in their way long. She would go gladly n soon os alio wap called up higher," etc. So Hehecea, sick at heart, hut not dar ing, raised ns she had been, to resist pa rental authority, offered Dick Ilia free dom. He stormed nnsrlly at first, hut, seeing her pain mid distress, nt last said to her: "Hehecea, you are spoiling two lives, I fear, by your mistaken notion of your duty, hut I must, submit. Hut write me for I cannot stay here nnd call nut back. Whenever you semi I will eotno buck, for I will never love any woman but you and will ho faithful to you always." All might have gone well had it not been thai Mrs. Stoner again selfishly interfered. "Hehecea and Dic k must not write to each other. It would only keep Hehecra's mind in n tumult, and she would not stand in their way long. Sho wai ready to go to heaven nt any time, she had never harmed a living creature, she would gladly free them of her pres ence" and more canting talk like this, which did nothing to heal Heliecca's sore heart. As a matter of fact, the old lady held on to life with a tenacious grasp and lived five more years of helpless invalid Ism, helpless to the last. When at last Holioocn. wns free, she hesitnti'il nhout rucalling Dick, whom she still fondly loved. What If he had mar ried slnco ho had left her? Meu worn Inconsistent by nature, she argued. Y'et the reinemhrnnce of Dick's face and his words ns he hade her goodhy forced her to believe in Ills constancy. Another doubt assailed her. She had changed during live years' attendance in the sick room and had lost much of her girlish charm. Perhaps hi; would not care for her. Finally her love conquered, and she wrote him a letter which would have brought h i in, a happy, eager lover, to her side. lint in some unaccountable way the letter was lost in transit. Dick never received tho message calling him back to Hehecea, ami she supposed, as he did not return, Unit he spurned the lovo she offered. Naturally, she was iilmost heart broken, lost her faitli in man and never wrote again. He, on his part, receiving no word after -the dentil of Mrs. Stoner, supposed Hehecca's love had cooled and railed at the Inconstancy of woman. Hut ho never wrote to upbraid her. Years passed, anil ho dually returned to live in his old home; but, though he and Kobeceu passed each other daily, there was uover speech between them. They were now middle aged, and each lived alone. One night Hehecea In a restless mood started out for a walk. She had gone ns far as Dick Waldron's cottngo when she thought she heard a groan. She stopped, then, with fast beating heart, ran up to the door and listened. The groan was repeated, and, listening no longer, she pushed open the door nnd entered. Al most on the threshold she stumbled over his prostrate form. In a moment she was on her knees and lifted his head Upon her breast. "Dick, my darling, are you hurt?" she whispered, passionately kissiirg his closed eyes and rubbing his cold hands. Arous ed by her words, ho struggled to rise, hut fell hack. Hut ho knew her. "Ah, He becea, you have been cruel to me," he murmured; then almost under his breath he said: "When pain and anguish wring the brow, a ministering angel thou. "I fell nnd broke my leg and crawled to the door for help," ho began to ex plain, but fainted away. When Kichurd Waldron recovered con sciousness, he had the doctor beside him Instead of Hehecea. "Miss Stone.' saved your life, I really believe," the doctor said. "I know she did," echoed Dick. Hut he meant something the doctor could not understand. The next day Hehecea received an urgent note from her old lover, begging her to come to him. She could not re fuse, for, as she told herself, he might be dying. Wheu she saw him, pale and suffering, but smiling gladly because shu had come, the sharp eyes softened, nnd the hard lines about her mouth seemed to disappear, and her heart beat with a wild hope that, after all, a new day of happiness was about to dawn for her. All that seemed so incomprehensible to them was now cleared up. although the missing letter was never traced, and the village people were shocked the next day to learn that Hehecea had married Dick Waldron when he was sick in bed. "Took advantage of ids helpless situa tion," soiuo openly dcchircih Others de rided, hut some sympathized. Helieeea heard this statement, but she did .not care. Dick had begged her to marry him at once, and she felt she owed it to him ns well as to herself to comply, ami so she nursed him back to lite nnd happiness they came so near missing, und it was still sweet, although it came so lute.

What d'yoti think of the Idea?" "Tlmt depends," said Kilos. "I don't go much on a brass baud that toots Its wind nil over town and wastes It on the nlr. If we had a band that would come down to the depot to meet nio as I come In from Turrytowu. I think I'd kind of like it." "Hy John, but he's right, and he's made a p'lnt!" shouted the deacon. "1 dou't see the p'lnt," said S:itnr Johnson as he colored up. "Why should our brass band go down to the depot to welcome a man who hain't never done anything In particular fur Jericho? Kiiob Is a good 'null' man m his way, but did thv. outside world ever hear of hi in ? Was he consulted about huildlu the- new sewer or pallida the towu ball?

"Mebbu I'm mistaken in this crowd," Bald tlu- sipiur as he looked ni'ound In u serious way. "Xlcbbe this Is a crowd composed of freedom Americans whose forefathers fought nt Hunker Hill, and uicblie It's made up of men who'd steal the stutue of Liberty und sell It fur old Junk. To say that 1 urn astonished does not half express my fceliu's."

"Hy John, but. what a p'lnt what a p'lnt!" whispered the deacon. "He fore we bust up and go to ruin, how ever, I'd like to hear from Heubcn White. Reuben's bin as far west as Detroit, and he ought to know what In fluence a brass hind has on a town." "The Influence of a brass band is ac rordin to the leader." snld Reuben. "I've seen 'em where they Jumped a town right to the front In four weeks, nnd I've seen 'em where they killed things dend In two. The leader wants to be a pecoolinr sort of a man. He wants to be born fur the place, same ns Washington was. He wants to be ready to die at two mlntis' notice or to live fur a hundred years." "And mcbbe you tlilnlt you're that man?"
