"Say, now, Agnes, you can't mean

"I beg you to excuse mo, Mr. nul

Whether Fred won' away or sat
down and resolved to become an angel
Is really not known. lie managed
somehow to live through It and so
ciety didn't notice any great falling
off In weight und appetite.
It wub threo months after ho had
received hlB conge and his boxing
master had raid that he was lu ex
cellent condition when he motored out
Westchet.ter wuy to fee u;i old chum.
On thiit very clay Miss Agnes Win
ters had started out In her runabout
alone for a bit of a spin. Tho two had
not met since that evening. For a
month afterwards she had been up
held by conscience. Then'a still, small
voice began to trouble her by asking
if she hudn't been too hard on Fred.
She had almost come to the conclusion
that she had and she wanted to he out
in the air and nloee to settle the
question with herself.
After a smooth run of two miles
the runabout came to a halt. They
do that sometimes. Then It Is cleur
ly the duty of the driver to llnd out
why und go an ngain. Miss Winters
was finding out why when three meu
from the hushes rushed out on her.
Sho was wearing a diamond at her
throat and they had a right to bo
llevo that her gloves concealed valu
able rings.
Knter Fred Hellalie on the scene!
Ho wasn't aching to bo a hero, but It
was forced on him. Ills auto ramo
up In such a (loud of dust that he
didn't at lirst recognize tho girl who
was screaming and battling. The
threo men threw her aside to meet
the rescuer. Tl ey were a tough trio.
In place of running away they stood
to make a light of it. Miss Agues
climbed back into her car and Fred's
chauffeur crouched down behind tho
wheel like the cur he was.
The toughs mm t be given credit for
fairness. Had they rushed Fred ho
must have gone down, but they didn't.
They gnvo him time to peel off co.it
and waistcoat and then one of them
stepped forward with lists up. In Hi)
second.1: he was down and out. Tho
seruiid one Listed about a minute.
"Cood!" exclaimed ll:o third as he
came forward. "You are a great little
man. It's months siiec I had n scrap
and I'm thankful yon came along, it's
(ucensherry rules to govern and may
the best mill win. If that driier of
jours hasn't swallowed l.la teith let
him net as timekeeper."
Did Miss Amh-.s jump out and run
down the mad sere ni.ing? lhd the sit
there with her ham's ever her face?
Not ip' f he s'lt there open-eyed
and wan he 1 the pn tii. t little scrap
that ever took p':oe on a highway.
Fred nevt r looked her way, even (lur
ing the rest between rounds. The two
men who had been hunched out re
covered in due time and sat up and I
watched the fun. j
The lii'.ht was ns fair us a ring bat-
tie. the contestants i-lvinrr and taking
and smiling as they got In or reielved
a Mow. Tho light of h. ttle was lu
their eyes and Hie Joy of contest In
their hearts and the girl sat there mill
tinted every move. Five -six (.even
rounds. She even counted them,
though t-lie never would admit It aft
erwards. And then, Just at the close
nf the eleventh round. Fred Fettled
matters with a blow on the point of
the chin and he stood pulling and
blowing and leaning against the wheel
of his auto while the man slept for a
few seconds and then awoke to nod to
his fellows. Then the three disap
peared. When they had disappeared
the girl called out:
"Fred, please come here!"
"Yes?" he answered as he ad
vanced. "I I think I have undergone a
change of heart. I shall he pleased to
have you call this evening. Never
mind your black eye and skinned

Fred railed.

God Uses Pain to
Refine Humanity 9
By DR. HAROLD PATTISON
PmIdt of Firat B.pll.t Church.
St. Haul, Minn.
The problem ln Job'B time wai, why
do the righteous suffer? but the prob
lem ln our duy liun broadened to why
should there be any Buffering at all?
As we have stood near the bedside of
some dear one whom we could not
bear to see suffer, we have wondered
how God could stand It. Personally,
do not believe Unit God Is a being;
that goes about shuttering our homes
or breaking our heurts. It is thought
tlmt ho permits such things, but It
may well be said thut God cunnot
still be good and make exceptions,
here and there In the workines of the
j great laws of the unlvene, that were
to put IrreguurltleB In the place of
uniformity, to Introduce anurchy and
make confusion worse confounded.
We are to remember, too, that we are
Inclined to mistake the part for the
whole, and In the matter of pain our
standard of measurement Is apt to bo
false. The actual amount of pain in
the world Is only as great us that
borne by any single human being.
A partial answer to this problem Is
found In the present uses of pain.
Pain may bo a punishment, but not
always, for pain would neem quite as
often a punishment for weakness as
for wickedness. Great pain purities.
As tho ppalinlst says: "It was good
for me that I wbh afflicted."
Tain Is power. I'aln stimulates us
to do our best. It is a goad and spur
that discovers our best paces. We
often say we learn by experience, but
if we stop to think of it the experi
ences to which we refer are mostly
painful. It takes tire to temper steel
and the sword blade never yet took
and held Its temper without It. A
California applo Is large and beau
tiful, but tasteless like cork; It nei ds
tho frost of New England to ripen the
Ihildwln and pippin. We none of us
watt to live over again tho difficult
crises of our lives, yet not ono of us
wouli? be willing to part with the ex
periences thoso crises gavo us. Great
pain warns us. A wounded dog holds
up its f iot and so keeps out the dirt.
Fain told it to do that.
The cross of -Christ sheds tho
strongest light on tie mysteries if
pain. Jesus never seemed to he per
plexed at the existence of pnln. How
great a part of his ministry consisted
in banishing pnln. yet .lesus and Chris
tianity have done much to Increase
the jialn of the world, (hthsemane
and Calvary Fhow us that In our lives
as well n his tho best and truest In
human life comes from pain. Tho
cross Is the appeal of suffering.
Tho vicarious mfl'i rii.j of Christ Is
raid to rohfli.t with our sense of
Justice. It does not do It. Wo inter
pret It by the old view of theology,
but rightly viewed It Is tho Umax
end complete expiration of the forces
to which we owe entire evolution nf
our race. We must not ronfuse
vIcarious-Buffc-lug with vicarious pun
Ihhment. When life is seen at its
deepect and truest It seems ns though
there were nothing lse but vicarious
suffering through which the won!
was saved.
Fain Is Ituidental. It doc. not last.
I'aln Is unnatural .lesus came to heal
and banish It. I'aln Is not eternal,
and "Cod rhall wipe all t,.:irs from
their eyej and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crime,
neither s!;all there he any more pain,
for the former thii.vs are passed
away."
I.N FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST
Necessity for Close Relationship If
Ons Woulci Unr.lersi.ind His
Tesciilngs.
The people comphrned that they
could not undoistatid .lesus. "Tell us
plainly," they said, .lesus niiswcnd,
that he had told I hem, and has con
firmed .lis claim to bo the Christ by
works in his Father's name. Ho de
clares that they did not believe his
teaching because they were not In Uiu
spiritual relation to him In which it
would bo possible to understand hl.n
"Ye are not of my sheep.' "My sheep
hear my voice und 1 know them and
they follow me." Without this rela
tion to Christ It is Impossiblo to under
stand his ti aching. There must bo a
common ground, a common sta'e of
mind, before the spooch of ono can
he understood by another. "What
man knoweih the ihli.gs of a man,
savo the spirit of mini which is in him?
liven so the things of God knoweth no
nmii but by tho Spirit of God." Tho
things of God are spiritually discern
ed. Wo must bo in tho Splri:. Tho
pure In heart, and they alone, can
see God. They who believe can under
Btuud the words of Jesus, because they
u'v brought in such relation that what
It, of ono may bo communicated to tho
other.
When Jesus talked of tho things of
God an . tho human soul, the great
body of the people belonged to a dif
ferent life; they lived In a different
atmosphere;, their minds and thoughts
were nut in harmony with his love
of truth. The gospel I3 to somo tho
savior of life unto life, but to others
of death unto death. There Is not
an open heart to receive It, and It,
then tore, hardens tho heart. It is of
Importance for us to koep In mind the
fad that It Is our own attltudo and
spirit that determines tho effect of
the words of God upon us. Many
of the people mocked at the claim of
Jesus, but others wero In such hos
tility tu htm that they could not com
prehend his words or understand his
works. To a miud absorbed in world
ly things spiritual thlngB have no
moaning. Men reject tho love of
Christ, because they are not of his
wor'd of love. Many a ono ln tha
crowd touched the garments of Jesus,
but virtue went out of him only to
ti one who touched tbo hem In faith.
The golden beams of truth and the
silver cords of love, twisted together,
will draw men on with a sweet vio
lence, whether they will or no. Cud
worth.

Unique Party for Children.
A mother of three lovely children
confided to me that her great success
In entertaining children wns due to
her nl in to have each llttlo guest
equally Interested.
With this idea in mind sho Is going
to glvo this novel and really fascinat
ing party. Sho calls it "Tradesman's
Carnival." The very name has excited
tho curiosity of tho children as well
as their mothers. The hours are from
3:'0 to E:.1fl on n Saturday afternoon.
Tho ages of the guests nre from eight
to twelve, and there will be 15 If
nil accept, her three making IS, about
nil she can scat comfortably at small
tables In the dining room.
The tradesmen she Is to hnve rep
resented are tailor, dressmaker, pot
ter. Jeweler, flower maker, sign paint
er, artist, basket maker, upholsterer
end carpenter. Two or perhaps three
will work at the name trade. When
the guests arrive they will be given
cards with tho mime of the t radii they
nre to repn sent. Then the llttlo
craftsmen go to n table, where their
materials are prepared nady for them
and one or two assistants to show
where they are to work. One hour Is
to be the t'me nllotted to make the
finished products, then a bell will
ring and the articles collected and
placed on exhibit Ion. Tho children
are to be .-.IKiwed to vote as to the
llrst. second and thinj best piece and
the prizes will be awarded. Hach
child Is also to take home (he object
made and inch receive a souvenir, so
all will fed satisfied.

The lid is removed and titled over
one end of the box In an upright pe
Hon, and fastened In Its place w
two paper fasteners run through on

Newest Tea Cosies.
Quite the newest tea cosies are
fascinating I'loitlons made of white
linen heavily embroidered In an open
pattern to thow off a talk lining of a
gay color. That the cosy may fit
over any sired teapot, even the most
capacious. It has end pieces let in.
and these are of plain linen, un
adorned like the rest, so that here the
colored lining does not show through.
The seams of the cosy are .covered
by a handsome white cord, artistical

pretty effect.

An attractive 'and artistic couch
cover may he evolved from six and
two-thirds yards of burlap and some
linen lloss.
Purchase two colors of burlap, three
and one thtrd yards of brown nnd the
same amount of natural linen color,
If it Is to hariiioulzu with mission fur

so ono may do the stamping at home.
The Blze most In use for tablecloths
lire letters three Inches long in an In
tel laced script. If old Knglish letters
are used one large loiter is preferable
to two or three. For napkins the let
ters should mal eh the cloth only
about two Inches in length. Sheets
have the same size letters us a table
cloth und pillow cascB the sumo as
napkins.
Feforo deciding upon the marking It
Is well to look over designs. There
nre linen cases for holding Just a
dozen napkins and another pretty way
to keep napkin sets together Is to
have straps made of fancy white silk
elastics with clasps to go around both
ways. Towels may be kept separate
In the same manner.
For Lent.
In so-called "society" social func
tions assume a simpler character dur
ing Lent and many overworked ma
trons who live in a grand whirl of din
ners, balls and teas aro recuperating
for the summer season by resting at
hoik hern resorts.
During tho next few weeks sewing
circles will spring up like mushrooms
and really a surprising quantity of
work will be turned out for the benefit
of charities and "friendly aid" all
over tho country.
A coterie of young matrons have
formed themselves Into what they cnll
the "Poll Urigado" and they are each
pledged to dress five dolls during
Lent with clothes that will come off.
An Interested set of young men have
promised to provide each doll with a
trunk and next Christmas these self
same dollies nre going to a certain
ward In a large city hospital that
bears tho placard "Incurable."
Perhaps wo all do not keep Lent,
but 1 say any season of the year that
causr s this sometimes apparently self
ish world to stop and think how beBt
to help others Is a good thing and I
hope to bo able to chronicle somo
scheme for lending the ' helping hand"

Elijah went with Ellsha, as Pa ll tool
Mark with him on his first mlsslonarj
Journey. Ellsha was Elijah's attend
ant and companion, student nnd friend
Of these years It Is recifvded only thai
the young man "ministered" to Elijah
"and poured water on his hands." And
Elijah said unto Fllsha, Tarry here, I
pray thee. Elijah, Ellsha, and evei
the sons of the prophets, evidentlj
knew that Elijah's departure was ai
hand.
Elijah's last Journey was clear
ly laid out for him. Its object wai
twofold; a natural desire on the part
of tho great leader to revisit tin
scenes so dear, to him, nnd his pur
peso to fix upon his disciples' mlndi
the principles nnd precepts he held
most Important. Iast words are best
remembered, and tho sight of thi
sturdy old man still able to make oc
foot a Journey of more than 3(
miles, his kindling glances, his ring
Ing voice, must have remained witt
them a precious memory, nerving their
to f ivuter boldness lu the cause of J
hovah.
And 50 sons of tho prophets went
and rtood to view afar olT. The itt
nipt heights behind the town command
ed an extensive view of thu river, tlx
nearest bend of which was iivu mllei
away. W!;h a delicate sense of pro
priety, the young men kept at a (lis
tance, hut it was lining tluy i.hoiild bt
witnesses of the scene, to testify aft
erwards throeghiuil tho land to Ell
Jah's favor with God and to the rial
ity of immortality. For similar rea
sons the 11 witnessed the ascension ol
our Lord.
Elijah said: "Ask what I shall dt
for thee, before 1 hi; taken away fro 11
thee." .So dial asked Solomon at the 1
I'eginning 01 111s riirn. Itns wai
Elijah's last opnoi tuti.ty to do any
lliirg for his f 1 it nil and successor :
und he wanted to make an ixiacv-iui. '
to him of his fatherly love.
Ellsha'B answer was: "Let a duubl
portion of thy spirit be upon me." Th
"double portion" was tho pert inn 01
the eldest Fon according to Jew!!.;
h.vv ho received a double share of tin

viUuiu of his l'ri. ml. lie was relzeC
lih an In. ..l. tilie! desire to 1 m "si

all noble souls, to catch ami ictait
siuictliin,T of the spirit, of heroes arc
s.uuls. it was not a tisiiu'st of pride
or ll would not have been granted, but
a request for service; not ambit iou.,Ij

desiring to bo his sucec.ssur and dc
his work of guiding Israel back tl

Choosing Is a Test of Character.
It Is cot what wo get, but what w
choose, not money or poverty, but tin
love of money; not success In ga!nln
pleasure., but what we seek lirst, tha'
tests us ns to what wo really are
What we havo and what wo do oftei
depend on many things outside of our
Bulves. What wo choose Is tho worl
of our hearts und wills.
There nppeared a chariot of lire am
horses of fire. It was a glorious bodj
guard; but Elijah did nut go up In 1
chariot, ho went up by a whirlwind
Into heaven. The marvelous effccti
of electric light through prisms ant
fountains, might give us somo Idea 01
ho scene. It was In this ascent, 111
ln the ascension of Christ, thut lib
physical body was changed Into a glo
rious spiritual body.
And Hlishn saw It. Tho ascenslot
of Elijah, which was the sign glvet
him by which ho might know that hi
was to succeed to his master's office
And ho cried, "Aly father, my father.'
Elijah had been a father to him, In till
euro and training. In love, and Ir
legacy. It was the cry of orphanhood
These words, too, piny fairly bo con
strucd as suggesting an aspect of Ell
jab's character which Is gonerallj
overlooked. Thoso who aro most ter

often tho fullost of tenderness aud
love.
Elijah was not dead. Ho lived In tin
record of his life. Ho lived In tho of
fects of his life. Ho lived In Ellsha't
work. He with Moses, returning U
speak with Jesus on the Mount at
Transfiguration, gives a new proof
that dying Is only transferring out
existence to another field of sorvloe;
where all we have gained In this 11 f
will find ample scope. We are not tc
be forever harping and singing, except
as our lives are songs, and our heart!
make muBlc. But there as here w
shall "all bo ministering spirits Bent
forth to do service for them who shall
bo heirs of salvation."
