Count dl Roslnl, the Italian ambaa aJor, I at dinner with diplomats In the national capital when a messenger brings a note directing him to come to the embassy at once. Here a beautiful young woman asks that ahe be given a ticket to the emhaaay ball. The tick et la made out In the name of Mlaa Is abel Throge. Chief Campbell of the secret service, and Mr. Grltnm, hla head detective, are warned that a plot of the Latin racea against the English speak ing races la brewing; In Waahlngton, and Orlmm goea to the atate ball for Information. In a conservatory hla at tention la called to Mlaa Iaabel Thorne. who with her companion, aoon disap pears. A revolver ahot la heard and Cumphell and Orlmm haaten down the hall to find that Senor Alvarei of the Mexican legation, hue been ahot. CHAPTER IV. (Continued.) "What sort of a paper was It?' In- jul red Mr. Grimm. "None of your business," came the ;urt answer. i "Who shot you?" "None of your business." "A man?" Senor Alvarez was silent "A woman?" Still silence. With some new Idea Mr. Grimm turned away suddonly and started out Into the hall. He met a maid-servant at the door, coming In. Her face whs blanched, and she stuttered through (heer excitement. "A lady, sir a lady" she began bahbllngly. Mr. Grimm calmly closed the door, shutting In the wounded man, Chief Campbell and the others. Then he caught the maid sharply by the arm and shook some coherence Into her disordered brain. "A lady she ran away, sir," the girl went on, In blank surprise. "What lady?" demanded Mr. Orlmm, coldly. "Where did she run from? Why did she run?" The mold stared at him with mouth agape. "Begin at the beginning." "I was In that room, farther down the hall, sir," the maid explained, "The door was open. I heard the shot, and It frightened me so I don't know I was afraid to look out right away, lr. Then, an Instant Inter, a lady come running along the hall, sir that way," and she Indicated the rear of the house. "Then I came to the door and looked out to see who It was, and what was the matter, sir. I was standing there when a man a man came along after the lady, and banged the door In my face, sir. The door had a spring lock, and I was so so frightened and excited I couldn't open It right away, sir and when I did I ranie here to see what was the mat ter." She drew a deep breath and stopped. "That all?" demanded Mr. Grimm. "Yes, sir, except except the lady had a pistol In her hand, sir" Mr. Grimm regarded her In silence for a moment "Who was the lady?" he asked at last. "I forget her name, sir. She was the lady who who fainted In the ball room, sir, Just a few minutes ago." Whatever emotion may have been aroused within Mr. Grimm It certainly found no expression In his face. When he Bpoke again his voice was quite "aim. "Miss Thorne, perhaps?" "Yes, sir, that's the name Miss Thorne. I was In the ladles' dressing room when she was brought In, sir, And I remember some one called her name." Mr. Grimm took the girl, still a-qu Iy er with excitement, and led her along tin) hall to where Gray stood. "Take this girl In charge, Gray," he directed. "Iock her up, If necessary. Don't permit her to say one word to anybody anybody, you understand, except the chief." Mr. Grimm left them there. He passed along the hall, glancing In each room as he went, until he came to a short flight of stairs leading toward the kitchen. He went on down silent ly The lights were burning, but the lilace was still, deserted. All the serv ants who belonged there were evi dently, for the moment, transferred to other posts. He passed on through the kitchen and out the back door Into the street A little, distance away, leaning asalnst a lamp post, a man was stand ing. He might hav been waiting for ear. Mr. Grimm approached him. "Beg pardon," he said, "did you see woman come out of the back door, there r "Yes, Just a moment or so ago," re Plied the stranger. "She got Into an uiunioDiie at the corner. I Imagine 'his Is hers," and he extended a hand kerchief, a dainty, perfumed trifle of lac, "i pcked It up Immediately 'ter she passed." Mr. Grimm took the handkerchief M examined It under the light. For time he was thoughtful, with low ered eyes, which, Anally raised, met 'nose of the stronger with a scroti nllng Btare.

CHAPTER V. A Visit to the Count, ball' d eren'tr of Mr. Camp eni" Wfta disturbed by thin, fiery nneg of perpiexJty and JACQUES fUTRELLE by M.Q.KssttivEii- ASSOCIATED SUNDAY MAGAZINES BOJ3B3 - MERfclLL dOMRANy guileless blue eyes were vacant as he stared at the top of hla desk. Mr. Grimm was talking. "From the moment Miss Thorne turned the corner I loHt all trace of her," he said. "Either she had an au tomobile In waiting, or else she was lucky enough to find one Immediately she came out She did not return to the embassy ball last night that much Is certain." He paused reflec tively. "She Is a guest of Senorlta Inez Rodriguez at the Venezuelan le gation," he added. "Yes. i know," his chief nodded. "I didn't attempt to see her there last night for two reasons," Mr. Grimm continued. "First, Bhe can have no possible knowledge of the fact that she Is suspected, unless per door" Ho paused. "Anyway, she will not attempt to leave Washington; I am confident of that. Again, It didn't seem wise to mo to employ the ordi nary crude police methods In the case that Is, go to the Venezuelan lega tion and pick up a row." For a long tlmo Campbell was si lent; the perplexed lines still furrowed his benevolent forehead. "The president Is very anxious that w6 get to facts In this reported Latin alliance as soon as possible," be said at last. Irrelevantly. "He mentioned the matter last night, and be has been keeping In constant communica tion with Gault In Lisbon who, how ever, has not been able to add ma terially to the original dispatch. Un der all the circumstances, don't you think It would be best for me to re lieve you of the investigation of this shooting affair so that you can con centrate on this greater and more Im portant thing?" "Will Senor Alvarei die?" asked Mr. Grimm In turn. "His condition Is serious, although the wound Is not necessarily fatal," was the reply. Mr. Grimm aroso, stretched his long legs and stood for a Jlttlo while gazing out the window. Finally be turned to his chief: "What do we know, here In the bu reau, about Miss Thorne?" "This fur the reports on her are of the usual perfunctory nature," Mr. Campbell explained. He drew a card from a pigeonhole of his desk and glanced at It. "She arrived In Wash ington two weeks and two days ago from New York, off the Lusltanla, from Liverpool. She brought some sort of Introduction to Count dl Rns lul, the Itullan ambassador, and be ob- "What Sort of Paper Was tatned for her a special Invitation to the state ball, which was held that night Until four days ago she was a guest at the Italian embassy, but now, as you know, is a guest at the Venezuelan legation. Since her ar rival here she has been prominently pushed forward into society; she has gone everwhere, and been received everywhere in the diplomatic, set We have no knowledge of her beyond this." There was a question In Mr. Grimm's listless eyes as they met those of the chief. The same line of thought was running In both their minds, born, per haps, of the association of Ideas Italy as one of the three great nations known to bo In the Latin compact; Prince Benedetto d'Abruzzl of Italy, the secret envoy of three countries; the sudden appearance of Miss Thome at the Italian embassy. And in the mind of the younger man there was more than this a definite knowl edge of a message cunningly trans mitted to Mr. Rankin of the German embassy, by Miss Thorne there in the ballroom. "Can you imagine" he asked slow ly, "can you Imagine a person who would be of more value to the Latin government in Washington right at this stage of negotiations than a bril liant woman agent?" "I most certainly cannot," was the chief's unhesitating response "In that cuse I don't think It would bo wise to transfer the Investigation of the shooting affair to another man," said Mr. Grimm emphatically, revert lng to his chief's question. "I think on tho contrary, we should And out more about Miss Thorne." "Precisely," Campbell agreed. "Ask all the great capitals about her Madrid, Paris and Romo, particular ly; then, perhups, Londoo and Berlin and St. Petersburg." Mr. Campbell thoughtfully scribbled tho Dames of the cities oh a slip of paper. "Do you Intend to arrest Miss Thome for tho Bhootlng?" he quer ied. "I don't know," replied Mr. Grimm, frankly. "I don't know," he repeated, musingly. "If I do arrest her imme diately I may cut off a clue which will loud to the other affair. I don't know," he concluded. "Use your own Judgment, and bear In mind that a man a man slnmmed tho door In the maid's face." "I shall not forget him," Mr. Orlmm answered. "Now I'm going over to talk to Count dl Roslnl for a while." The young man wont out, thought fully tugging at his gloves. Tho Ital ian ambassador received him with an Inquiring uplift of bis dnrk brows. "I came to make some Inquiries In regard to Miss Thorne MIrs Isabel Thorne," Mr. Grimm Informed hira frankly. The count was surprised, but it didn't appear In his face. "As I understand It," tho young man pursued, "you are sponsor for her in Washington." . The count, evasively diplomatic, born and bred In a school of caution, considered tho question from every standpoint. "It may be that I am so regarded." he admitted at lust. "May I Inquire If the sponsorship Is official, personal, social, or all three?" Mr. Grimm continued. There was silence for a long time. "I don't see the trend of your ques tioning." said the ambassador Anally. "Miss Thorne Is worthy of my protec tion In every way." "Let's suppose a case," suggested Mr. Grimm blandly. "Suppose Miss Thome had had, let us say, shot a man, and he was about to die, would you fel Justified In withdrawing that that protection, as you call It?" "Such a thing Is preposterous!" ex claimed the ambassador. "The utter absurdity of such a charge would Im pel me to offer her every assistance." Mr. Grimm nodded. "And If It were proved to your sat isfaction that she did shoot him?" he went on evenly. The count's lips were drawn togeth er In a straight line. "Whom, may I ask," he Inquired frigidly, "are we supposing thnt Miss Thorne shot?" "No one, particularly," Mr. Grimm assured him easily. Just suppose that she had shot anybody me, say. or Senor Alvarez?" "I can't answer a question so ridic ulous as that" "And suppose we go a little fur ther," Mr. Grimm Insisted, pleasantly, It T" Inquired Mr. Grimm. "and assume that you knew she had shot some one, say Senor Alvarez, and you could protect her from the consequences, would you?" "I decline to suppose anything sc utterly absurd." was tbe rejoinder. Mr. Orlmm sat with his elbows ob his knees, Idly twisting a seal ring on his little Anger. The searching eyes of the ambassador found his blankly Inscrutlblo. "Diplomatic representsres in Washington have certal, cftllgatlons to this government" ','.e young man reminded him. "We that la, the gov ernment of the Unit d States under take to guarantee .he personal safety of every accredited representative; in return for that protection we must in sist upon the name and Identity of a dangerous person who may be known to any foreign representative. Un derstand, please, I'm not asserting that Miss Thorne Is a dangerous per son. You are sponsor for her core. Is she, in every way, worthy of your protection?" "Yes," said the ambassador flatly. "I can take it, then.JJint the intro duction she brought to you is from a person whose position Is high enough to Insure Miss Thome's position?" "That Is correct" "Very weUI" Ana Mr. Orlmm went away. (TO BE CONTINUED.) H71 I p; i For the Hostess I IHil . VI A Novel Book Party. I wonder If you would not enjoy "book charades?" They do not need rehearsing and are louds of fun. Just prepare cards with the numbers from 1 to 20, or the number of charXles you are to have, and let them write aown the ones they guess. I append a few suggestions which you can add to. For a prize give a book candy box Ailed with bonbons or salted nuts. "Iioklnf Ilnck ward' A Klrl walka across the stage with her head turned over her shoulder.

Two Party Schemes. The hostess culled this successful affair a "pie" party: When all had arrived the men were auctioned off by the host who was gifted with a ready flow of language, and he had a keen sense of humor. The "medicine" man was Introduced on tho block In this mannor: "A man who was often sought, although be was known to be addicted to '111' com pany." The bidding was fast and fu rious and It took all the ready money of the purchaser to get him. The coal dealer was described as "The man we think of when the snow flies." When all the ladles hnd secured their part ners they were given pieces of pie made from paper pie plates such as bakers use, the edges fastened togeth er with red baby ribbon. On being opened there were slips of paper with the wordH "mince," "cherry" or "ap plo." Whatever recipe was called for the ninn was to give It, while tho "girl" mado the pie In pantomime. This called forth merry peals of laughter. The refreshments consisted of Individ ual pies, coffee and sandwiches. The man who gave the best recipe was the recipient of a plo-shaped box of sweetmeats. This "portrait" party scheme Is good: Get common wrapping paper, a light brown or white, and cut Into squares a foot and a half each way. Put tip a sheet across tho door and have the light from a lamp arranged Summer Bags T'lK bags shown are made of lin en or pique buttoned down with pearl buttons and braided or em broidered. They have convenient pockets Inside and loug cotton cords suspend them on the arm. For the summer dress they are quite the Ideal Everywhere Is seen a bit of black satin. Natural feather quills are seen In plaid and somber colirs. The newest sailor collars are deep In the back and hardly existing in front Tho red, white and blue of the revo lution will be worn singly and in com bination. Fringes are seen on many of the new lingerie gowns as girdle and tunic trimming. A good deal of heuvy embroidery and Irish crochet luce appear on the new waists. One of the newest sleeves Is about three-quarter length and la as wide at the bottom as at the plain top. In Paris waistcoats with huge rcvers to turn back over the outside coat are In vogue and have plain short backs o' lining material, so that the waist- oat may bt worn with several coats If desired, so that the shadow of a nersnn's huA will be reflected on tbe square of pa per. A guest Is to be placed sideways so mat the outline of the face will sr.ow on the naoer. With n hii cil or a crayon draw the outline or profile. One guest at a time li brought into ino guiiery; the name Is put on the back of the portrait. Whon ..11 have been taken, an assistant helps cui out tbe silhouettes, which are pasted on black paper and pinned up like a portrait exhibition. The guests aro provided with pencils and papers and wrlto down who thev think 1. who. A prize Is provided for the one wno guosses the most correctly, and, If the hostess wishes, a consolation prize may be awarded. A "Bacon Bat." A young college friend Informed mm that the very latest thing In outdoor luiiurs was A iiucon Hat" When explained I concluded that It must he loads of fun. Of course, as with an sucn purtles, all depends upon the guesis and their love of outdoor functions. We all feol the "call of the wild" these glorious days and I am sure many of our readers will want to have a "Ilacon Bnt" Just as soon as they read this. Six couples are enough, provide plenty of delicious bacon sliced very thin, sweet potatoes and several dozen finger rolls; these are the absolute requirements, oth er things may be added at the pleas ure of the hostess. Hulld a fire must the sweet potatoes (or take a frying pun, nave the potatoes boiled at home and fry them over tbe coals). Grill the bacon on the ends of long sticks, Insert the finger rolls and you have a meal fit for a king. Coffee may be made and I assure you the only dan ger Is In not having enough of every thing. Nature study classes are In fa vor all over the country, and after a tramp what could bo more appetizing than tho repast I have Just described? I would suggest roasting Irish potatoes and taking a Jar of butter with plenty of tissue paper napkins; hard boiled eggs are a welcome addition with a Jar of tiny cucumber pickles and olives both ripe and green. MADAME MGRRI. For the Blouse. For dainty silk dress or chiffon waists use Instead of ordinary but tons brass rings of the proper size, buttonholed over In silk of a color to match the fabric or the trimmings. In white thread this Is very nice for a lingerie blouse also and easier to make than crochoted buttons. If you wish you may darn across the rings, or cross threads and buttonholes over them; but really the plain button holed rings are Just as pretty. Where you have crocheted loops Instead of buttonholes the soft batterlberg rings will do as well, and can be bought ready made at any embroidery supply or notion store. Shirt Waists. Waists of challis, foulard, pongee or messallne matching the suit In color are very good looking, and are more practlcnl In many ways than washing shirt waists and In the end hardly more expensive. They can be made very simply and worn with lingerie collar and cuff sets. To Clean Silver Chains. Also mesh bngs and purses, wheth er of sterling or German sliver, All a shallow pint dish with gasoline and dip In the article, using a soft nail brush to scrub. Change gasoline often until It looks clenr, then pollHh the pieces vigorously with chamois. Woman's Home Companion. article. No smudges from the leather of one's handbag and the lightness ol them counts, too. The belt Is stitched linen with pearl button effect These are really snaps which keep the belt fastened neatly and simply. The note of red, cerise, French blue or emerald green Is very often intro duced into the black and white frock and bits of Persian or Russian figured silk or embroidery are also used as trimmings; but some of the best look ing trotting frocks In the black and white are entirely without color relief, the color note being left to the hat parnsei, etc. used with the frock. Empire Dress Bidding for Favor. The empire dress, with waistband Just little below the arms, Is bidding for favor this season and the yoke dress Is always "popular for very lit tle girls. Kimono sleeves, short and loose, are used In some of the tiny girls' frocks, usunlly of a dressy char acter, but they are the exception. The skirts are plaited or fulled and no narrower than they used to be. Patent leather belts are as much worn ns ever with the Russian frocks, but wide, soft belts of black velvet are shown In some shops catering to children. For cool days the Russian, sailor or middy suit of white or blue serge Is In order, and the sailor and the nrlddy In linen are as popular as ever for girls over fire. pass . hay uma J Q Of the Resurredion By Pastor Russell Of Brooklyn Tabernacle . Death Is spoken of throughout the lllble us an enemy. Merely hymn book theology presents it as a friend an angel sent of God. Death Is intro duced to our attention In the Lllble as the penalty for sin, with tbe distinct understanding that had Adam not trunsgresbed the Divine commands he need not have died, nor even have been cast out of his Eden home. St. Paul emphasizes the fact tht death Is the penalty of sin and that the res urrectlon of the dead will come to mankind as the result of the redemrv tive work of Chrlt-t. He says; "Sine by man comes death, by man also comes the resurrection of tbe dead For as all In Adam die. even so all In Christ shall bo made alive; but every man in his own order," bund ot cohort (I. Corinthians 15:21-2:1). In the poetic language of Scripture death Is symbolically represented as great monster which has been swal lowing up the human family, never satisfied. Millions on millions have already been devoured. Mankind in vain has looked for n deliverer for one able to vanqtilth death and to de liver the prisoners from the greut prison house of sheol, hades, th gruve. This monster was granted per mission to devour the ruce by him whe created us, because we were unworthy of etornnl life. Death, therefore, ! backed by the mandate of the Al mighty, and be cannot overthrow bis own decision. 1 he Scriptures assure us that the sacrifice that Jesus offered (himself) was a satisfaction, "ransom-price,' for the sins of the whole world. They tell ns that the heavenly father mani fested his approval of the sacrifice w hen ho grunted tho Pentecostal bless lng, and that Jesus Is even now at the futher's right hand waiting (Hebrew 10:12, 13) until the time shall come when the heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth shall be given to 111 m, that he may establish his reign of righteousness, blesKing the world nnd releasing all the prisoners of sin and death. The deluy is not In any sense, an In 'Meat ion or weakness, nor of nuy change In the divine program. It merely Indicates that there Is another leature or the Almighty s purpose which we did not for a time discern The work Is to be a great one. Twen ty housund millions are to be dellv end from death's prison house. And all of them will need instruction, up lifting, chnstcnlng, schooling, to pre pare them for the divine blessing ol life everlasting. The time for lnstruc tlon and uplifting Is declared to be thousand yenrs. The power for the Instruction Is the Messianic Kingdom the Rulers of which will be Messiah nnd His Iirlde Joint heir with him In his kingdom. During the past nine teen cenlurles God, by his word and providences, has been calling and drawing a "little flock" to Christ to be his bride. St. Paul points us to the great de liverer, tho glorified Meslsah, at the tlmo when he fhall take the kingdom under the whole heavens and begin the fulfillment of the prayer he taught us, "Thy kingdom come; thy will bo done on earth as In heaven." lie tells us he must reign until he shall have put all enemies under his feet "the last enemy that shall ho destroyed Is death" (I. Corinthians 15:26). Tho meaning Is clear. Messiah's kingdom will address Itself promptly to the rec tIAcation of every form of unright eousness, financial, political, social, re ligious. He will rule tho world witn a rod of Iron nnd every nation and every system or element contrary to the divine standards of righteousness will be broken to shivers with hs "Iron rod." Thus will righteousness be established in the earth In the midst of "a tlmo of trouble such as never was since there was a nation." Py the close of the thousand yenrs of Messiah's reign, his victory over Sin and Death will be complete. Every member of Adam's race will have been lifted from the prison house of death. It will be a prison house no longer, for (hero will be no prisoners In It; mankind will have been lifted out of the clutches of Sin and Death, weak ness and depravity, by the processes of restitution, resurrection, uplifting (Acts III: 19-2.1). The victory over sin will be complete. Then will be brought to pass the Divine prophecy, "O, death, where Is thy sting? 0. grave, where Is thy victory?" (I. Corinthians xv:55). Every member of Adam's race is to be delivered to him who redeems all. A key Is a symbol of authority and symbolizes a legal power to open the prison house and to release the pris oners. Adnmlc death has been a legal penalty upon our race a Just pennlty. Hut, although all shared the condem nation and weakness, God foresaw that some of the race, If granted the op portunity, would gladly return to loy alty to his laws. He has, therefore, made provision through Jesus for every member of the race, great and small, rich and poor. World-wide re jemptlon will be provided and world wide opportunity for the coming to a knowledge of the Truth and for being uplifted or resurrected will be afford ed. The right or power to release mankind from the power of death and from the prison bouse of the torrb, sheol, hades, the grave, Is represented by the ke" in the hands of Messiah. The Pursuit of Beauty. I know not that If all things had been equally beautiful we could have received the Idea of benuty at all. or If we had. certainly It had become a matter of Indifference to us, and of little thought, whereas through the beneficent ordaining of degrees In Its manifestation, tbe hearts of men are stirred by Its occasional occurrence in its noblest form, and all their ener gies are awakened In the pursuit nf It and endeavor to arrest it or recreate It for themselves.

REVIEW Suidij Scheol Lesioa for Job 25, 1911 Specially Arranged (or This Paps' QOLIiKN TKXT-"Vhut Iioth the lorJ Require of Thee, but to l)ii Justly, anil tJ Love Mercy, nnd to Walk Humbly With Thy Ood."-Mlc. 6 n. Different forms of review are suit ed to classes of different ag?B and different degrees of development, so that a variety of methods Is sug gested below. Somo of these plans . may need to be united with o'hers to All out the session, and any other changes and adaptations of them may be made that seem best to the teacher. The quarter's lessons have taken up six books of the Old Teslament. There have been Ave lessons In Sec ond Kings, two in Second Chronicles, two In Isaiah, and one each in Jonah, Mlcah and llosea. Select six mem bers of the class and have each write a three-minute essay on one of 1 these books, telling about the gcnerul course of the lessons or lesson from that book, and tbe teachings brought out therein. Let the class listen care fully to each essuy, and at tho do) dictate a set of questions, which you have .written beforehand, on tlie quar ter's lessons as a whole, having th class write answers to the questions as they are read. The teacher will write on slips of cardboard or heavy tnnnila paper a series of questions on the lessons of the qtinrter, about Ave questions 00 each lesson. These questions wllft, cover the principal facts of the les sons, and will bo so framed thnt the answers con be very brief, yet ade quate. Lay the Blips of paper, face down, on the class table or on a large book held In the lap. mix them up... and have the class draw them one at a time, In turn. The stholar that draws a question will read It aloud, and then answer It If he can. retain ing the slip. If he does not answer correctly, or at all, the next on his left will try to answer It, nnd so on around the class. The scholar that answers It will hold the slip, and the scholar that holds the largest num ber at the end of the recitation Is de clared the victor In the little contest. Announce this plan a week in ad vance, thnt the class may study for It Take a series of lesson pictures. Obliterate the titles of the pictures, and fasten a bit of ribbon to each. Place the pictures In a box oen at the end, and let the ribbons extend outside. The scholars will draw these pictures out one after the other, each scholar telling the class about the lesson to which his pictures be-' longs, holding up the picture ns he does so. After the pictures have been used once. If there Is time they may be returned to tho box and the exercise may be repeated. This form of review Is especially adapted to the primary department. The class will bo divided, at least a week In advance. Into two sides, each side with n leader. The sides will meet by themselves and each prepare a series of questions on nil the lessons of the quarter. The teach er will meet with each side and make sure that the questions are fair ones, and clearly expressed. Ot review day the two sides will sit facing each oth er. One sltlo, through Its lender, will propose a question to the other side, which will answer If It enn, speaking always through Its leader, but always after consultation with the rest of the side. Then the second side will pro pose n question to the Arst side, und so on, alternating. If the answer is wrong, the side that proposed tho question scores a point; If partly wrong, half a point. The side that Is defeated may be required to give a social, at the teacher's homo, to th other side. This review, which Is especially suited to adult classes, consists of a series of essays or talks on the prin cipal topics of the various lessons. As fnr as possible, the speakers will choose their topics or lessons, but the teacher will have a list ready for suggestion. The following ll.it will he an aid: I. The Healing Side of Religion. II. Out I'nseen Defenders. III. Starting the Young In Their Lives. IV. Our Care for God's Houso. V. The Universality of Chrlsthyilty. VI The Perils of Pride. VII Our Work for Our Country. VIII. Tem perance Work Needed Today. IX. The Madness of Militarism. X. God's Forgiveness, and How to Obtnln It. XI. Reform Methods That Succeed. XII. Tho Finnl Results ol Sin. The teacher will take a large sheet of heavy manlla paper, and with a broad-pointed shading-pen nnd very black Ink, In large letters, he will copy as much of the following outline of the quarter's lessons as he can get on the sheet; then he will go on other sheets till it Is all copied. FoM each sheet back along tho central line, taking pains to keep each half of the outline on Its side of the rhc.-t.
