4 3 Mystery in a Box By HOPE DARING Copyright, JS1U, by AReociated Uterary Presa Aa Roger Wayne passed along the hotel corridor on bli way down to dinner a door on his right opened. A girl of tO atepped Into the corridor and advanced straight to Roger'a Ide, holding out to him a black box, al Inches square and two Inches alga, "Will rou do me a great favor?" ib asked In a clear, musical voice. "Please throw this Into the bay to lghL And you are not to open It. Will you do It for me?" There was a slight pause before the last two' words. Roger took the bos, staring blankly at the girl. She was well dressed, petite, with frank gray eyes and mases of dead-black hair. "Out I do not understand." "Do you need to understand? Tell me that you will do what I ask." "Of course I will do It, and" "Thank you! Thank you!" She turned and re-entered the room from which she had emerged. Roger thrust the box Into his pocket and went slowly down the stairs. He bad arrived at Pine Bay, a summer resort on one of the great lakes, but two hours before. Thus far he bad met no one at the hotel whom he knew. What was the meaning of the girl's strange errand? He had hardly finished his dinner when she entered the dining room. With her was a pretty blonde maiden of about her own age, a hatchet-faced chaperon and a gpnlal, middle-aged man whom Roger was positive he bad seen before. When Roger had finished eating he left the house and sauntered leisurely down to the shore. A wharf ran far out Into the bay, affording a stopping place for the steamers that touched at the tiny village. The young man stooped down and gathered bis hands full of flat stones that covered the beach. Aa he walked along tbe dock "Please Throw This Into tht Bay To night." he threw one stone after another Into the water. At last he drew the box from his pocket, and after a search ing glance at It, sent It flying after the tones. "It la tin, painted black, and there Is something In It that rattles," he aid to himself. "I feel like the vil lain in a melodrama. Now I am go ing to make It the occupation , of my vacation to form the acquaintance of the girl who was so anxious to dis pose of this box." Fata favored him. As be ascended the stepa leading to the hotel ve randa, where a large party was gath ered watching tbe sunset flush the sky and water with crimson, he heard bis name called. The speaker was Bobby Green, and by his side stood the mysterious girl. "Qlad to see you, old fellow," Bob by cried heartily. "Ladles and gentle men, I want you all to be good to (his lad. He Is Roger Wayne, tbe magazine writer whose work you all know. Then Bobby proceeded to Individual Introductions. The girl of the box was Audrey Puller, and the blonde was her cousin Mildred. When Roger neard tbe name be understood why thilr male companion at dinner had looked so familiar. The roan was Thomas Fuller, the wealthy mine owner, and tbe girls were his daugh ter and ntoce-. The group on tbe veranda chatted way merrily until the sunset's after glow had faded from the sky and a ! cool breeze swept In from the bay. As they adjourned to the parlor, Roger fell Into step with Audrey Fuller. "Did you see, Miss Fuller, that I obeyed your command?" "Eh? V.'hat do you mean? Oh, you refer to your accepting the Invitation to go sailing with us In the morn ing. Tou will never regret It, for the bay Is beautiful. . It was evident that she had no la tentlon of gratifying his curiosity. Roger compressed his lips; ue would be patient but persistent. The next morning be managed to secure a place at the table with th Fullers. Before tbe meal was finished the landlord entered the dining room to announce that a bold robbery had been committed the afternoon before. A small tin box containing valuable Jewels had been taken from the room of Mrs. Darrow, a Chicago woman. Already a detective had arrived at the hotel, and the landlord hoped that the guests would patiently submit to sny questioning that seemed neces sary, as the detection of the thief would be a protection to them all. "Oh, papa! Let's go home!" Audrey cried. Roger stared when he saw bow pale she wua. Mr. Fuller laughed. "Now, don't be frightened, puss. You know that I insisted that you and Mlldren should leave your Jewelry In the safe. Why, Audrey, how white you are! You are not really frightened?"- She tried to smile, but It was easy to see that she was nervous. Her breakfast was untouched, while the discussion of the robbery went on around her. A reward was offered for the ap prehension of the thief, but he was not found. For several days an of ficer haunted the hotel corridors, and his presence, or even the. mention of his errand, was enough to drive the color from Audrey's cheeks. At first she avoided Roger. He strove to make her feel that he was her friend, and gradually she came to trust him. "She is the victim of some one's wrongdoing," was his decision. "It Is not curiosity alone that prompts me; I will set her free from the fear that so often looks from her eyes." At last Audrey recovered her usual gay spirits. Th.e hotel was very gay. The throng of young people plcknick ed, danced, sailed over tho bay, ex plored the pine woods and sped tbe summer hours with Joy and laugh ter. Tbe hotel guests were at lunch one dull, rainy day when a telegram was brought In for Roger. An exclama tion of dismay broke from his lips as ha read It Bobby looked across the table, genuine concern ou his goo'U humored face. "Not bad imwB, old man?" ''"Only that I am summoned to the city on a matter of business. I must leave on the evening train." "You will return, will you not?" Mil dred Fuller asked, carelessly. "Not for a fortnight, at least, and by that time tbe season at Pine Day will be over." There were many expressions of ' re gret Lunch over, Roger went up to his room. He had begun bis packing when, glancing from the window, he saw Audrey pacing back and forth on tbe wharf, unmindful of tho rain. He hastened out to Join ber. She did not see him until be culled softly: "Audrey!" A cry broke from ter lips. The face she lifted to him was wet not with ralndropB, but with tears. He took her bund, drawing it through his arm. "Little girl, I love you." "But the boxt Roger, it stands be tween us," she cried, a note of terror In her voice. "I threw it into tbe bay. Let things between us be as It the box bad never existed." . "But, Roger! , How can you be sure that I am not a thief? Remember Mrs. Darrow's Jewels?" "You are tbe woman I love. I trust you. Never mention the box again; I do not care what it contained, or why you wished to get rid of it" fine let ber band slip down into him, laughing gleefully. "If you feel that way, I can tell you, but It was so dreadfully silly! Mildred and I saw you when you ar rived and recognized you as the fa mous author. We talked of . yout stories. There Is always a mystery in . them, and we wondered how you thought them out Mildred dared me to give you the box." "What was there in It?" "Pennies and thumb tacks. We thought we would give you a mystery at first band. Then, next morning, there was that robbery, and I thought -7-0 Roger! If some one should be Yloolkng out of tbe hotel windows!"

FINCHER Pastor Second Pratbytertaa Chimb Houston, Tasaa Text. Thus did Ood render the wick edness of Ablmeleck and all the evil of men of Bwhem did Ood render upon their heads. Judges :M, 69. Our text reads, "Thus did God ren der the wickedness of ADlmeleck and all tbe evil of the men of Shechetn did Ood render upon their heads." 'The mills of tbe gods grind slow but they grind exceedingly small," History keeps on repeating this truth. Back, of all the mystery ot human deeds Is the ruling of a mighty band. Ablmeleck learned this to his sorrow. He bad gained his throne by murder and ruled with hands dyed In blood. But evil hunts for the wicked to over throw htm. One ot his own number conspired for his ruin and the story of his fall by a stone hurled from a woman's hand 1b graphically told In this chapter. Our text merely gives the reason why: "God will be God for all that," Is here Rounded forth In words that can not die. Let us learn first that Ood rules over all and no wrong shall ever go unpunished. All dealings with men have also their deal with Ood. There are three parties to every transaction, God, myself and my brother man and none can be left out. In wronging my brother I wrong God and the wr ng shall not go unrequited. History re peats this story over and over. "Be sure your sin will And you out." Ablmeleck was no exception. The blood of his seventy brethren was cry ing out for vengeance. His fall was Inevitable. This truth needs added emphasis today. Many are amassing wealth by means foul or fair, regard less ot law either that of man or God. But there shall surely come a day of reckoning, not only from men, but Ood Himself shall set right every wrong. Vengeance may be slow, but It Is nev ertheless sure. The crime of murder Is fast on the Increase. Statistics show that a large per cent of the guilty go free. But there Is yet a sterner Judge from whose law no guilty one shall es cape. Then again our text shows bow men reap what they sow. Ablmeleck had gained his throne by murdering all who stood in his way and now he falls by a murderer's hand. "He that sows to the wind shall reap the whirlwind." A life of sin must end In a life ot shame. A man's conduct always comes back to him. Jacob deceived his fath er and in his old age he reaps the sor row of deceit and falsehood at the hands of his eleven sons. The man who swindles to make his fortune will most surely reap loss and ruin atthe swindler's hand. Note also that God carfles on His purpose despite the sin of those en trusted with power. God will still be God after all, and He Is the last one with whom we must reckon. We shall not be able to foil His purpose nor thwart Ills plan Our resistance shall only become our ruin. Ablmelech found It so. Might could not make right and error shall not stand. That man or nation that persists In wrong doing Ood shall set aside and It shall fall. We call ours a great nation and it Is, but we have some grievous sins laid to our charge. Our civlli.ntlon is fast leaving God out and has little re gard for His eternal law. We often weigh with a false weight and soil with a false measure. Right is often changed to suit the occasion while men in high places set up false stand ards. Let us be sure that all this graft and groed and wrong shall beconfe our undoing for we are dealing with God as well as with man. If we continue to resist and break HIb law He shall cause the destroyer to rise up In our midst, and though we fall His pur pose shall go evenly on. . Then, again, I think this text clear- teaches that God will most surely a -re for His own. Those w ho trust Him shall never be forsaken. In the end our cause shall triumph because It Is Ood's cause. Not so much It Is because God la on our side, but rather because we are on the side that God upholds and makes to triumph. He will care tor us though all else shall fall. Though, like Elijah, we seem all alone,' God's tender' care shall be our consent stay. While we trust and obey Him the cruse of oil shall not fall nor shall the bread be exhausted. He shall ever keep us In tbe hollow of His band. Increase In Spirituality. This calls into exercise all the di verse powers of the church and In creases Its spirituality, Its Joy, tta power. Its purity, its Christian man hood. This saves It too from the ex pense Incident to ' a campaign how ever short. And this will secure a quiet work, a sound work based on the Word of God, and a work much mora Jlkely to be permanent. Modern evangelism ilea open to criticism on every side. How much has to be done before It begins? How much while it lasts? And how much after It Is over? A mast of machin ery la brought Into play, much of which la qulta'unnecesaary. And what lemands there are tor large sum of money! Th Fruit of th Spirit What a store of wet, simple thing tha Spirit produce love. Joy, peace, longauffering, kindness. Tha life . ot Jesus Himself was Just a simple, pure, sweet Ufa. Goodness is always sim ple and without gull. And I feel sunt that, wera our lives simpler today, w would, old and young, all be hap pier and better. Sir Humphrey Davy waa right when ha aald: "Lit la made up, not ot great sacrifices or duties, but of llttl things In which smiles and small obligations, given habitually, ar what win and pre serve the heart and secure comfort" It is therefore, good for us to know where these sweet fruit ar to b found In all their purity. They ar to be found In tha Bplrlt of Ood. Rev. James Learmont T TIMELY SUGGESTIONS J THAT WILL HELP THE HOSTESS A Thanksgiving Tei. reception or tea on this festival day Is distinguished chiefly by appro priate decorations, costumes , and re freshments. The rooms may be com pletely transformed by taking down all tho portieres and other draperies and replacing them with others made of cranberries strung on a stout, red thread. Popcorn strung and alternat ing with the berries makes a pleasing effect; Strings of ' cranberries are very pretty festooned over white win dow curtains. Cover lamps and all gas and elec tric lights with shades made from red, white and blue crepe tissue paper and for stools and divans have large pumpkins; they are very comfortable and are admirably adapted for the purpose. The usual refreshments are served with the addition of pumpkin "chips" and the bonbons In the na tional colors. To make pumpkin chips, which are quite a novelty, select a deep colored pumpkin, peel and slice very thin; to each pound of chips add a pound of sugar and a gill ot lemon Juice, with tho grated lemon rind; stir well and let them stand over night; cook very slowly until tender; then skim the chips out, lot them stand two days to get firm, then put them in a Jar with Just enough sirup to keep them moist. These are often taken for an expensive imported pre serve No one recognizes the plebeian pumpkin. Spices may be added If liked. Hot spiced cider or a elder frappe may be served and cranberry Ice cream Is delicious in flavor and looks. The sandwiches should be ot minced turkey and tbe flowers .red and white carnations with cornflowers or bach elors' buttons, as they are blue. If individual molds are desired for the Ice cream, they are cunning little turkeys, and all Borts of vegetables. Sheafs of wheat tied with the national colors are very decorative over arch and doorways. it program of music consisting of patriotic airs would be a diversion suitable for the occasion. It would be attractive to have six girls dressed in colonial costumes to assist In receiving and to "pour" in the dining room, also to preside at the frappe bowl. A Party for Thanks Day Night. Use characteristic cards for the in vitations decorated with some of the many symbols associated with the day; turkeys,, corn stalks, pumpkins, etc. Decorate with pine boughs, vines and all the woodsy things obtainable. Ask the guests to come In Pilgrim costumes. The game to be played Is founded on the coming of our forefa thers, the voyage, etc. The questions are written on slips and passed to the guests with little pencils that may be purchased by the dozen. 1. In what coarse goods did the Pil grims live for a time? Holland. 2. To what efflorescence did they trust their lives? The Mayflower. 3. What broad letter did they travel on? C (sea). 4. What fowl was used in landing? Plymouth Rock. 6. What very bewildering thing did they find growing In the new soli? Maze (Maize). 6. They numbered among their party two old-fashioned pen and Ink cases. What were they? Standlshes. 7. What long name did one of the Pilgrims have? Miles. 8. What famous book does the Jour ney of the colonists suggest? "Tha Pilgrim's Progress." 9. Why Bhould we think the first New England girls were bicyclists? A number of spinning wheels were seen. 10. What distant Islands were the Indians to the colonists at first? Friendly. The prizes should be either a copy of Miles Standlsb (courtship) or a picture of "Priscilla," plainly framed. Other prizes may be turkey and pump kin bonbon boxes filled with corn-kernel candy. On the dining room table use only brass or glass candle sticks. Fill blue bowls with old-fashioned flowers. Serve ham and chicken sand wiches, baked beans In Individual brown ramaklns, pumpkin pies, elder, doughnuts, popcorn, nuts and apples. MADAME MET.UI. The Shine on Serge. Skirts, especially serge skirts, al ways become slick and shiny looking before they are nearly worn out. To remedy this, place the skirt on a board and rub the shiny places with sandpaper, not too hard, but Just enough to roughen the nop. After pressing, the skirt will look as good as new.

JESUS IN GETHSEMANE Sunday Sckeol Leiaoa for Nov. 20, 1910 Specially Arranged lor ThU Paper l-Kenii Text Matthew :S6-t6. Memory Verne, 8S-W. (uldn Text "The Bon of men I be trayed Into the hand of tnner."-Mtt. Ttme lletween midnight end 1 o'clock, Friday mornliis, April 1. The tnurnln of the day of the Cruclflilon. Flare The Harden of Uetheemane. on the lower slope of tlie Mount of Olives, opposite Jerusalem. This lesmm Is full of sweet solem nity. When we enter the aarden of Gethsemane we hear the voice thai ! came to Moses at the burning bush: "Put off thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest Is holy ground." We trace the walk of Jesus from the upper room to Gethsemane, the route of the o dicers and soldiers from Castle Antonla. and the return wltb Jesus as a captive. The word "Oethsemane" signifies "an oil press," of which there wers certain to be several In a locality then covered, as Mount Olivet was, wltb olive trees. John calls It a garden. "An eastern garden differs from ours, In that It Is chiefly filled with fruit trees and fragrant shruhs, rather than with flower bods; and shade, not or der or bright colors, is what Is chiefly studied In Its construction." The gar den was nearer the Kldron, which ran between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. From the fact that "Jesus ofttlmes resorted thltbor with his disciples" (John 18:2), it is probable that it was a suburban pleasure ground, or be longed to some friend of Jesus who gave blm the free use of It during bis stay. He took with blm Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. These were the three who had seen his glory on the Mount of Transfigura tion, and were best prepared to sym pathize with him. These were to watch and pray. They were to watch with blm. In sympathy with him. and against the same temptations. In this hour JesiiB needed human sympathy, even while he "must tread tho winepress alone." Three times he went to them during this season of prayer. The more loving tho heart the more helpful Is fellowship and sympathy. Every wise person accepts of all the sympathy and help he can get. To throw this away Is to reject one of the best nlds God has given us. "Jesus was In the prime of man hood; life was Just opening before him; his sou. was easer for work, and conscious of rare capability to per form It; his death was the end of all human hope of achievement." His earthly career. In this dark hour, may havo seemed to be a failure. If the fu ture wes veiled from his vision. Only a few disciples, Instead of a glorious kingdom, and these few about to for sake him! Where wero the fruits of his life? It was his hour of dark ness, with tho future veiled from his eyes with its resurrection and ascen sion, and himself King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Tills required the ut most heroism of faith. Nevertheless not as I will. Not as seems desirable now. Hut as thou wilt. What In your loving wisdom you see to be wlso and best. This Is my prayer and desire. I do not merely submit to your will, but desire it, pray for it "Underneath that awful aRony there lay, millions of fathoms deep, unmoved and Immovable, the Intense desire that his Father's wish and will should bo done." Morlson. This prayer, "Thy will bo done," contaln the essence of fulth; a faith that ex pects an answer, ami calmly trust! God as to the kind of answer. "Thy will be done" means far more than merely enduring tho suffering God sends. It means doing his will in our business, In our homos; every where living according to God's laws and principles. It means carrying out bis plans for the redemption of men. The prayer was answered through the strength given bira to drink the cup, and change It Into a cup ot Mess ing. It was answered In tho same way that God answers our prayers, as God answered Paul's prayer that the thorn in his flesh might be removed. Tbe angel strengthening him (Luke) was a direct answer. There are two ways of answering a prayer for the removal of a burden. In one, the burden Is taken away, and we remain tho same; In the other we are made so strong thai the burden Is no longer a burden to us; as what would crush a child Is but sport to a man. The latter is by far the best way of receiving an an swer. Paul kept tho thorn In his flesh, but God'B grace wts made suffi cient for him. God answered Jesus' prayer by giv ing In a hotter form than tho one In which the petition was stated, the houI of his prayer, tho things that In his doepest heart he wanted. If clear ly before the vision of Jesus there had appeared two choices, the one of es cape from the cross, but with that also the failure of blB mission, tha triumph of evil, the loss of unnum bered souls, no crown, no glory, no abiding on the light hand of God; and the other choice, that of the cross and Its agony, but with It also the redemp tion of the world, the Ineffable glory of God, the Joy of millions of tbe saved, th crown of triumph over evil who doubts which would have been bis real. Innermost prayer HI prayer waa answered, for tha eroa waa changed to a crown, Oethsemane Into paradise, death Into Immortal glory, Lo, Judaa, one of the twelve, came. He knew where be would be likely to find Jesus, because Jesus waa accus tomed to. resort to this garden with his dlaclple. And with him a great multitude, including a band of Romaa soldier.
