"Are you flat hunting?" Tho very foolishness of her question In so tense a moment snapped tho cord and all four young persons laughed. And Jimmy fit far forgot the fact that ho did t'ot know cither girl that ho an swered glibly: "Why, no we nre hunting mush rooms with wabblv eyes." Alice Avery's silvery laugh rang out and she cast a demure glance at Jli'imv. "Pi rh tips you would like to see the view from the Urn escape," the said, looking pointedly at Drake and Itutli Donning, who looked as If a new world had suddenly sprung up before them.- Jimmy took Hie hint n;id followed the little blue figure t i a miniature kitchen, where he perched himself upon the enameled tub to enjoy the novel situation. In the other room Huh Drake was speakln g. "Why are you renting your apart ment. Itutli? Does It mean that you ure that you have failed?" The true sympathy In Hob's voice brought un told triumph to Itutli Denning. When she spoke she hail gained command of herself and her steady gray eyes met his without flinching and telling no talc of her Innermost feelings. "No, I have not failed. On the con trary, I have succeeded ev n beyond my greatest expectations. Didn't you bear Alice Ivory tell you" "I heard nothing after she had ?pokon your name." "Hobby. I have won tho groat Ley lan prize, and they nre sending me to Paris for three years " Tho last note ended In a sob and she was In hl arms. She hnd kept up bravely ;!urlng tho long, hard competition, and now for th first time she fully real ized the greatness of her achievement. Hob Drake had learned much about Ruth and tho depths of her moods during their long separation, and now he held her quietly until the heavy sobbing had ceased. "I'm nwfully silly." Ruth looked up at Drake through shining tears. "The struggle has been long and hard. Hob by, dear, and I have wanted you to be hero so terribly at times." "Dear," Drake asked, tenderly, "when do you Pull?" "I am not going now." Ruth looked up quickly. Hobby .smiled. "Yes you are." He knew that this withdrawal of tho stronger Huth was but momentary. "You are going over to the land of art anil work even harder than you have here because you have more at stake " "More nt stake! How can I have now that I have won you?" "Winning Is only tho first step," be answered with a quizzical light In his eyes. "Robert Drake! Iv you mean to tell me that you would cease to love me If I failed at the last minute and gave up my Brt?" "I mean exactly that. The girl I hnvo always loved Is not made of the stuff that gives up." Ho lifted her face and looked Into her eyes. "You would not be that girl If you gave up." "I have Indeed won," the girl breathed softly. "Oh, I say excuse me!"

Scottish Students' Dress. The Scottish university student has a code of etiquette In clothes as strict as that of Eton or Harrow. And Into It the straw hat enters. On Septem ber 15, be tho weather ever so blenk, the streets are full of what tho small boy knows as "strawhashers." On the sixteenth you will find never a one, on a Etudent'B head, that Is. As for the medical student, he seldom wears a straw hat at all, or anything In Its place. It Is his prldo to go barehead ed, as It Is to wear u fancy walstcont and turncd-up trouser ends. The arts nnd divinity men sedately avoid these last three fashions. TOTAL ABSTINENCE IS BEST Greatest Danger of Excess Is at Ban quets Where Champagne Flows With Freedom. The following article Is taken from the "Living Church." Although In tended for the twentieth Sunday after Trinity, It In appropriate for all sea sons: It Is perhaps, more dlUleult for soino people to obey the command In to day's Kplstlo, "Ho not drunk with wine, wherein Is excess," than to ob serve tin absolute rule of total abstl nonce. Those w ho. favor a free use of wine and other stimulants when not re quired physically, are wont to quote St. Paul's advice to St. Timothy to drink wine for his oft Infirmities; but they forget to quote many other pas sages from the Scriptures, it was for his "Infirmities" that he was advised to uike It, not for se'f Indulgence, or coullul imd social reasons. In ialatlaus St. Paul mentions among tho sins or the llesh, drunken niss, adding. "They who do such things shall not lulu i ll the kingdom of (!od." It is a fact that many, and among them church people, think too highly of exceeding tho bounds of temper ance; and, alas that it should bo so, intemperance Is not unknown even among women who are social leader In our largo cities. Solomon was a very wise miin, ami he says, "He not among wine bibbers, for the drunkard and glutton shall come to poverty." After describing the appearance of nn Intemperate (nan ho says that such are those "that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine." "Look not upon the wine when it Is red, when it glveth bis color In tho cup. ... At the last It blteth liko a serpent and Kllngeth like an adder." Tlio fact that our blessed Lord's first miracle wus the turning of water Into wine, shows us that, wine is one of his gifts to mankind; yet like so many uther blessings. If abused It be comes our ruin. What a wonderful help to gaining pelf control It would be If men always stopped short of what they enn safely take; but for some, total abstinence is the only wiso course. In the collect for today we pray that being ready both In body and soul we cheerfully accomplish the things which Cod comiiiaiul.H. If our bodies b"long to his service, why should wo render them unfit to do Ills bidding? At the nitar "we present ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy and living sacrifice. Is not that often forgotten? Frequently there are banquet which church people attend at which wines and champagne How freely. These are occasions upon which the greatest danger of excess Is likely to nrl.se Does drinking to excess, even though one stops short of actual drunkenness, fit the body to appear before the altar i n Sunday morning. In the still, early hour, to see and hear the priest conse crate the fruit of the vine, making It the h'ood of Christ, that It may be come our precious drink? Who would dare present himself to drink of that cup, who had himself been a partaker of wine the night before until he bad hi come excited and talkative beyond bounds? Soon the ih-slre to cmne and drink the heavenly wine will lenvi, htm. mid drinking the cup of fools, be will go down to the gates of eternal d nth. unless he tern and repent. Therj are outwardly respectable church men who do not exercise sell control In the matter of wine drinking, ami who by their example injnro oth ers, and are themselves dully deterior ating. Wilful intemperance and do vout aspirations do not go together. Who should lie the leaders In bring lug about n reform? Surely they of the priesthood, who are appointed by Ood to set so holy and pure an ex ample that tho laity will be won to high and holy living, and learning to curb the desires of the flesh, will at tain to free communion with the sa cred heart of the blessed Jesus. Sobriety In Australia. Compared with other countries, the commonwealth of Australia Is evl dently temperat". Tl.e average con sumption of alcoholic beverages per bend of the population Is .72 Imperial gallons of spirits, .5 gallons of wine, and 11.19 gallons of beer, against 1 gallon of spirits, ."2 of wine, and 29.50 of beer per bead of the popula tion In the I'nlted Kingdom. Public houses are rigidly controlled. Sunday closing is absolute except for bona llde travelers. In New South Wales tho week-night closing hour Is 11 o'clock. Temperance sentiment, nioroovor, Is growing, while legislation keeps almost apace with It, and tho time Is approaching when the com monwealth will be not merely tem perate, b it pober In tlio strictest sense of tlio word. England's Drink Bill. During the last five years England's drink bill has been steadily on tho In crease, notwithstanding the fact thnt never before have her temperance or ganizations been co active or aggressive is during that period. We are told thnt among her educated and well-to-do classes drunkenness U becoming the exception nnd moderation tho rule, yet notwithstanding this moderation move ment, and In spite of her boastej five to six million total abstainers, her Bands of Hope nnd other nunns of ed ucating children In temperance princi ples, and her scientific nnd economic protests against the drink, etc., the bill goes on Increasing. Saloon Attracts. "Talk was never known to keep a young man out of a liquor saloon yet," said Abraham Lincoln, when he was asked to lecture on this subject. "If there 1b more attraction, more warmth, more good fellowship, more liberty In the liquor saloon than there Is at borne, that Is where some joung men will go, and nil tho orators nnd spe cial pleaders In the world cannot hinder It.

For the Dining Room. A clever housekeeper hns solved the problem of economy, at the same time Increasing the attractive elo nientB of her dining table.

Robert McHob Morril Putor of Fint Pribt-rin Church tvanalon, IIL TKXT-Kor thus shnll t richly ur plleil unto you un entrance Into the eter nal klniidnm nf our Iird und 8uvlnr Jemn Christ. -II Peter 1. 11. The risen Savior executes three of fices. He Is our prophet revealing to us by his word nnd spirit the will of Ood for our salvation, lie Is our priest, offering up of himself a sacri fice to satisfy dlvtne Justice nnd reconcile us to Ood, nnd In making continual Intercession for us. Ho Is our king. In his kingly office he sub dues us to himself; he rules and de fends us; he restrains nnd conquers all his and our enemies. That we may search ourselves and see first If we are citizens of bis king dom, nnd lecond, how loyal we are to thnt kingdom, let us nolo what nre the conditions of citizenship. We shall find these conditions by references which originate In the king as he stands In bis relailon to us, and in tls manner be able to show what Is our religion toward him. The first phrase which wo are taught us setting forth the manner of Christ's execution of the office of kingship toward us Is that be subdues us to himself. We talk much of Christ riibtlulng the world. We pray, some times halfheartedly and sometimes with great meaning, that his kingdom may roiuo, thnt bis will may bo done In earth as It Is In heaven. We con jure) before our mind's eye the law breakers, tho flagra'.it sinners of the world. We draw melodramatic pic tures of the thief, the drunkard, the roue, the murderer being subdued to the will of Christ. There. Is something about the mid night mission which appeals to our dramatic sen.'.e. We love to dwell upon the rescuing of the perishing; we love to sing about throwing out tho life-line; we love to talk about the gospel being preached In all foreign lands. We swell with pride when we hear how Korea Is coming to Chi 1st, how China and Japan aro being en lightened by his light. We are ready to shout and say, "that Is good, fine, let It go on. Tho time will soon come when tho earth Is as full of the knowl edge of the Iord as waters cover the seas." Now friends, that's all objective and external. It's all good; but the first thing anyone should seo to when he prays that Cod's will bo done in earth ns tt is done In heaven is that ho himself be subdued to Christ. There are chiircb members who will work for others nnd give money to missions (and both these things they should do) but w ho unfortunately slop Just at' that point and do not permit themselves to bo subdued. The first question for you and n:e to say Is, "lias Christ subdued us un to himself?" Do you know there was and Is a profound psychologic1 and spiritual reason or meaning behind the "mourners' bench" of our Me t ho list brethren. Wo like the phrase, "mourners' bench." There may be bettor ones. Perhaps tho Idea would be belter exproHReil If we said, "the self abnegating bench," the place whero men lire willing to say, "1 sur render myself." Not "i surrender flvo hours a week to tho work of the church;" not "1 surrender one hun dred dollars a year to carry on his work;" not "I surrender a nominal al legiance to the kingdom, and am glad that the kingdom Is spreading;" not that 1 surrender my name to the roll of some church nnd comb v.ccnd to let my greatness reflect credit and glory upon the church of Christ. Hut that 1 surrender myself, that I surrender my will which is tho same as saying that I nm subdued. Hretlnen, the Ilrst condition of en trance into this kingdom Is nut regis tering our names on tho church rolls, o: on the charity lists, or on thu work ers' tablets, good though these things may be; but the first element Is being subdued to tho king. The second thing Is that when we I are, subdued ho rules and defends us. No.v tho rulership of Christ is not a nam rule, lie is not a despicable and 'unfeeling tyrant. "My yoke," ho said, "Is easy nnd my burden Is light." It Is necessary for us to bear the burden, the yoke must needs be worn. Hut the burden cannot crush us and the yoke does not gall when we are sub dued to bis will. If we are Bubdued bis ruling will seouis mild and gentle. It will not be arbitrary; It will not bo merely that he might crush us beyond all hopo of Insurrection. He. does not restrain from traitorous acts so much by threats of dire punishment as by show lug us the pain it will cause his heart. We all want tho defense ef the gov ernment. We walk these streets at night with a feeling of greater or less security, because we feel that the gov ernment of the city, through lu po lice, is defending us. Ho It Is in this kingdom of Christ, It Is only while wo are under the rul ership of the king that be can defend us. Now the third and last thing Involv ed In this execution of the ofllco of kingship Is that Christ restrains and conquers all his enemies, w ho are our enemies as well. Notice how this comes merging quietly out 'of our last thought. For to revert to our lllus .traiion: While we are loyal citizens 'of the city, the lawbreakers are the common enemy of the city and of Jourselves. Hut when we have outlaw led ourselves then we have become an '.enemy to the city. King of Samoa Temperate. The king of Samoa Is determined that his subjects shall be ober.
