With these few simple remarks, he turned his back Indifferently to .Mr. lingers, and, catching hold of the car pet In the corner with his fingers, he lifted It up by tho roots. "There's no use bucklu' the govern ment," Mr. Rogers decided, after a critical study of the sanitary police man's back, which was extremely Im pressive. "It's a government of the rich for the rich.

Mr' "'"KcTS yelled after in ' That was a sample of the morning's work, and Rev. Smith Boyd felt more and mori!, as he neared luncheon time, that he merited some consideration. If only for the weight of the cross he bore. There were worse Incidents than the abuse of men like Rogers; there were the hideous sick to see. and the genuinely distressed to com fort, and depthless misery to relieve; and any day In Vedder court was a terrific drain, both upon his sympa thies and his personal pocket. He felt that this was an exception ally long day. Home In a hurry at twelve-thirty. A crub, a complete change of every thing, and a general feeling that be should have been sterilized and baked s well. Luncheon with the mother mho saw what a long day this was. then a far different -type of calls; in a sedate black car this time, up along the avenue, and In and out of the clean side streets, where there was little danger of having a tire punc tured by a wanton knife, as so often happened lu Vedder court. Away to Vedder court again, dis missing bis car at the door of Temple mission, and walking inside, out of range of the leers of those senile old buildings, but not out of the range of the peculiar spirit of Vedder court, which manifested itself most clearly to the olfactory sense. The organ was playing when he en tered, and the benches were half filled by battered old human remnants, who pretended conversion In order to pick op tho crumbs which fell from the table of Market Square church. Chid ing himself for weariness of the spirit, and comforting himself with the thought that one greater than he had faltered on the way to Golgotha, he sat on the little platform, with a hymn book in his hand, and, when the prel ude was finished, he devoted his won derful voice to the blasphemy. The organist, a volunteer, a little old mar who kept a shoemaker's shop round the corner, and who played sincerely In the name of helpfulness, was pure of heart. , The men with the rough-hewn coun tenance, unfortunately not here today, as also sincere in an entirely un tniritual way; but, with these excep lions, and himself, of course, the rec ior knew positively that there was not toother uncalloused creature in the Mm. vol one who "nuld be reached MANAGEMENT OF THE BODY Extreme Care Should Be Exercised by Those Who Are Afflicted With Defective Heart.

They were past redemption, every last man and woman; and, at the conclusion of tho hymn, he rose to cast his pearls before swine, without heart and with out Interest; for no man Is Interested In anything which cannot possibly be accomplished. With a feeling of mockery, yet up held by the thought that he was hold ing out the way and the light, not only seven times but seventy times seven times, li whatever shred or crumb of divinity might lie unsuspect ed in thsse sterile breasts, he strove earnestly to arouxe enthusiasm In him self so that he might stir these dead ghosts, even In some minute and re mote degree, Suddenly a harsh and raucous voice Interrupted him. It was the voice of Mr. Rogers, and that gentleman, who had apparently secured some here the two dollars to tide him over, was now embarked on tho tide. He hud Uken just enough drinks to make him ugly. If that process were possible, and he had developed a particularly strong resentment of tho latest Injus tice which had been perpetrated on him. That Injustice consisted of Hev. Smith floyd's refusal to lend him money till a week from next Satur day night; and he had come to expose the rector's shallow hypocrisy. This he proceeded to do. In language quite unsulted to the chapel of Temple mis sion and to the ears of the ladles then present, most of whom grinned. The proceedings which followed were but brief. Rev. Smith lloyd re quested the Intruder to stop. The In truder had rights, nnd lie stood on them! Rev. Smith lloyd ordered him to stop; but the Intruder had a free and independent spirit, which forbade hlin to accept orders from any man! Rev. Smith Royd. In the Interests of discipline, without which the dignity and effectiveness of tho cause could not be upheld, and pleased that this was so, ordered him out of the room. Mr. Rogers, with a flood of abuse which displayed some versatility, In vited Rev. Smith Boyd to put him out; and Rev. Smith Royd did so. It was not much of a struggle, though Mr. Rogers tore two benches loose on his way, and, at the narrow door through which It is difficult to thrust even a weak man, because there are so many arms and legs attached to the human torso, he was compelled to practically pitch' him, headlong, across the side walk and over the curb and into the gutter! The victim of injustice arose slowly, and turned to come back, but he paused to take a good look at the stalwart young perpetrator, and re membered that he was thirsty. Rev. Smith Royd found himself standing in the middle of the sidewalk, with fists clenched and his blood surg ing. The atmosphere before his eyes seemed to be wann, as if It were red dened slightly. Ho was tingling from head to foot with a passion which be had repressed and throttled and smothered since the days of his boy hood! He had striven, with a strength which was the secret of his compelling voice, to drive out of him all earthly dross, to found himself on the great example which was without the cravings of the body; he had sought to make himself spiritual; but, all at once, this conflict had loused In him a raging something, which swept up from the very soles of his feet to his twirling brain, and called him man! For a quivering moment he stood there, alive with all the virility which was the richer because of his long re pression. He knew many things now, many things which riixned him in an instant, and gave him the heart to touch and the mind to understand and the soul to (lame. He knew himself, he knew life, he knew, yes, and that was the wonderful miracle of the flood which poured In on him, he knew love! He reached suddenly for his watch. Six ten. He could make It! Still Im pelled by this new creature which had sprung up in him, he started; but at the curb he stopped. He had been In such a whirl of emotion that ho had not realized the absence of his hat. He strode into tho mission door, and the rays of the declining sun, strug gling dimly through the dingy glass, fell on the scattered little assem blage as If it bad been sent to touch them In mercy and compassion on the weak and the poor and the plte ously crippled of suul; and a great wave of shame came to him; shame and thankfulness, too!

Bill was not one of the higher order of the monkey family; his kinship to the human race, If be had any, was remote. Yet surely In the manner of bis death he displayed a simian resemblance to man. He died as hundreds of thousands of beings higher la the scale of evolution die. as counties numbers of our "best citizens" die from overeating. tie was as reckless in the Indulgence o( his appetite for food as the mubi ti tivated member of the human family, and If the circumstances of his death excite surprise.

Bill's death point a dietetic moral form, and, turning to that reddened sunlight which bathed his upturned fare as if with a benediction, he said, In a voice which, In It new sweetness of vibration, stirred even the murky depths of these, the numb: "Let u pray." CHAPTER XVI. The Creed of Gail. Who was that tall, severely correct gentleman waiting at the elation, with a bunch of violets In his hand, and the light in his countenance which was never on sea or land? It wag Gerald Fosland, and he astonished all be holder by his extraordinary conduct. A the beautiful Arly stepped through the gates, he advanced with an en tirely unrepressed smile, springing from the bulls of hi feet with a buoy ancy too active to be quite In good form. He took Arty's hand In his, but he did not bend over It with his cus tomary courteous gallantry. Instead, ho drew her slightly towards him, with a firm and deliberate movement, and, bending his head nidewi.se under the brim of her hat, kissed her; kissed her on the lips! Immediately thereafter he gave a dignified welcome to Gall, and with Arly'a arm clutched tightly In hi own, he then disappeared. As they walked rapidly away, Arly looked up at him in bewilderment; then sho suddenly hugged herself closer to him with a jerk. As they went out through the carriage entrance, she skipped. It was good to see Allison, big, otrong, forceful, typical of the city and its mighty deeds. Ills rye had lighted with something more than pleasure as Gall stepped out through the gates of the station; something so Infinitely more than pleasure that her eyes dropped, and her hand trembled as she felt that same old warm thrill of his clasp. He wad so overwhelming in his physical dominance. He took Im mediate possession of her, standing by while she greeted her uncle and aunt and other friends, and beaming with Justifiably proud proprietorship. Gall had laughed as she recognized that attitude. Allison was really a big man, one born to command, to sway things, to move and shift and re arrange great forces; and that, of course, was his manner In everything. She flushed each time she looked lu his direction ;tJor he never removed his gaze from nor; bold, confident, su preme. When a man like that Is kind and gentle and considerate, when he is tender and thoughtful and full of devotion, he Is a big man Indeed! Rev. Smith Hoyd was at the steps of the Sargent house to greet her, and her heart leaped as she recognized another of the dear familiar faces. This was her world, after all; not that 3 mm; For a Quivering Moment He Stood There. world of her childhood. How differ ent the rector looked; or was It that she had needed to go away in order to judge her friends anew? His eyes were different; deeper, steadier and more penetrating Into her own; and yes, bolder. She was forced to look away frcm them for a moment. There seemed a warm eagerness In his greet ing, as if everything In him were draw ing her to him. With a rapidity w hich was a marvel to all her girl friends, Gail had slipped upstairs and iuto a creamy lace eve ning frock without having been missed; and she was In this acutely harmonious setting when Re. Smith Royd called, with his beautiful mother on his arm. The beautiful mother was In an exceptional flurry of delight to see Gall, and kissed that charming young lady with clinging warmth. The rector's eyes were even more strik ingly changed than they had been whn he had first met her on the steps, as they looked on Gail In her creamy lace, and after she bad read that new intense look Id his eye for for monkeys that exchange the nuts and roots of the jungle for the richer food of zoo captivity and ldlaness The application of the moral to man kind need not be considered. A vastly greater number of men die from over eating than from starvation, and the death of a humble simian in the cir cumstances from this characteristi cally human ailment, may aorve to emphasize the fact New York World. Pudding 8ure Sign of Battle.

If they serve ua with pudding Tor dinner before we go Into tho trenches, why, then we know for certain I" the second time that evening, she hur ried away, with the license of a busy hostess, and cooled her face at an open window In the side vestibule. There was a new note In Rev. Smith Boyd's voice; not a greater depth nor mellowness nor sweetness, but a something else. What was It? It was a rail, that wag It; a call across the gulf of futurity. They came after her. Ted and Lu die had arrived. She was In a vortex. Dick Rodley hemmed her In a corner, and proposed to her again, just for practice, within eyeshot of a dozen people, and he did It so that onlooker might think that he was compliment ing her on her clever coiffure or dis cussing a new operetta; but he made her blush, which was the Intention In the depths of his black eyes. It seemed that she was In a perpetual blush to night, and something within her seemed to be surging and halting and wavering and quivering! Her Aunt Helen Davleg, rather early la the eve ning, began to act stiff and formal. "Go home," sho murmured to Lucile. "All this excitement Is bad for Gall's beauty." After that the exodus became gen eral, until only Allison and Rev. Smith Royd remained. The latter young gen tleman had taken his flutteringly hap py mother home early in the evening, and he had resorted to dullness with such of the thinning guests as had seemed disposed to linger. Aunt Helen thought she had better go upstairs after that, and she glanced Into tho music room as she passed, and knitted her brows at the tableau. Rev. Smith lloyd, who seemed unusu ally fine looking tonight, stood leaning against the piano, watching Gull with an almost Incendiary gaze. That young lady, steadily resisting an Im pulse, to feel her cheek with the back of her hand, sat on the end of the piano bench furthest removed from the rector, and directed the most of ber attention to Allison, who was less disconcerting. Allison, casting an oc casional glance at the Intense young rector, seemed preoccupied tonight; and Mrs. Helen Davles, pausing to take her sister Grace with her walked up the stairs with a forefinger tapping at her well-shaped chin. She seemed to have reversed places with her sis ter tonight, for Mrs. Sargent was su premely happy, whllo Helen Davies was doing the family worrying. She could have bidden Allison adieu had she waited a very few minutes. He was a man who had spent a life time In linking two and two together, and he abided unwaveringly by his de ductions. There was no mistaking the nature of the change which was so ap parent In Rev. Smith Boyd; but Alli son, after careful thought on the mat ter, was able to take a comparatively ear.ly departure. "I'll see you tomorrow, Gail," he ob served finally. Rising, he crossed to where she sat, and, reaching into her lap, he took both her hands. He let her arms swing from bis clasp, and, looking down Into her eyes with smil ing regard, he gave her hands an extra pressure, which sent, for the hun dredth time that night, a surge of color over her face. Rev. Smith Boyd, blazing down at that scene, suddenly felt something crushing under bis hand. It was the light runner board of the music rack. and three hairs, which had Iain In placid place at the crown of his head, suddenly popped erect. Ten thousand years before, had these three been so grouped, Allison would have felt a stone ax on the back of his neck, but as It was he passed out unmolested, nodding carelessly to the young rec tor, and bestowing on Gall a parting look which was the perfection of eosy assurance. Rev. Smith Boyd wasted not a min ute in purposeless hesitation or idle preliminary conversation. Gail!" he said, in a voice which chimed of all the love songs ever writ ten, which vibrated with all the love passion ever breathed, which pleaded with the love appeal of all the domi nant forces since creation. Gall had resumed her seat on the end of the piano bench, and now he reached down and took her hand, and held It, unresisting. She was weak and limp, and she averted her eyes from the burning gaze which beamed down on her. Her breath was fluttering, and the band which lay in her lap was cold and trembling. "Gail, 1 love you!" He bent his head and kissed her hand. The touch was fire, and she felt her blood leap to it. "Gall, dear," and his voice was like the suppressed cres cendo of a tremendous organ flute; "I come to you w ith the love of a man I come to you with the love of one inspired to do great deeds, not just to lay them at your feet, but because you are in the world!" He bent lower, and tried to gaze Into the brown eyes under those fluttering lashes. He held her hand more tightly to him, clasped it to his breast, oppressed her with the tremendous desire of his whole being to draw her to him, and hold her close, as one and a part of him for all time to come, mingling and merg ing them into one ecstatic harmony. "Gail! Oh, Gail, Gail!" There was a cry In that repetition KILLS SHARK WITH CR0W3AR Great Battle Waged for ah Hour Against a Man-Eater Results In Victory. A man-eating shark up to his eyes In mud and a stranger In 'be Bronx, was killed near Throgga Neck aftes everyone within half a mile of him had screamed at least once and missed him with a rock at least twice. David McGowan, an inspector In the Bronx department of sewers, Is tbo amateur toreador who finally sent him winging or filpperlng Into the valley of death. Mr. McGowan, accompanied by a quartet of pickax wlelders and a dou ble Bextette of shovelers, was Improv ing the Bronx sewerage facilities when he heard a hoarse cry. Mr. Mc Gowan selected a crowbar he coui'' trust and hurried to where a strug gllng form was creating a whirlpool.' He Inserted the crowbar Into the huge bulk. The head of an Indignant shark appeared, and Mr. McGowan, with four excellently executed bandsprlnrA was back on shore again. Then Degas a battle whh b lasted an of ber name, almost an anguish. She stole an upward glance at him, her face pale, bur beautiful lips half part ed, Bnd In ber depthless brown eyes, alive now with a new light which had been born within her, there was no forbldduncc, though she dropped then hastily, and bent her head still lower. She had made herself an eternal part of him just then, had he but seized upon that unspoken assent, and taken her In his arms, and breathed to ber of the love of man for woman, the love that never dies nor wavers nor falters, so long as the human race shall en dure. He bent still closer to her, so that he all but enfolded her. His warm breath was upon her cheek. The sym pathy which was between them bridged the narrow chasm of air, and enveloped them In an ethereal flame which coursed them from head to foot, and hud already nigh welded them Into one. "I need you, Gail!" he told her. "I need you to be my wife, my sweet heart, my companion. I need you to go with me through life, to walk hand In hnnd with me about the greatest work in the world, the redumption of tho fallen and helpless, Into whose lives we may shed some of the beauty which blossoms In our own." There was a low cry from Gail, a cry which was half a sob, which came with a sharp Intake of the breath, and carried with It pain and sorrow and protest. She had been so happy, in what she fancied to be the near ful fillment of the promptings which had grown so strong within her. No surge of emotion like this hud ever swept over her; no such wave of yearning had ever carried her impetuously up and out of herself as this had done. It had been the ecstatic answer to all her d earns, the ripe and rich and per fect compleflon of every longing with in her; yet, In the very midst of It had come a word which broke the magic thrall; a thought which had torn the fairy web like a rude storm from out the Icy north; a devouring genie which, dark and frightening, ad vanced to destroy all the happiness which might follow this first lnrushing commingling of these two perfectly correlated elements! "I can't!" she breathed, but sho did not withdraw her hand from his clasp. She could not! It was as if those two palms had welded together, and had become parts of one and the same or ganism. There was an Instant of silence, In which she slowly gathered her swirl ing senses, and In which he sat, shocked, stunned, disbelieving his own ears. Why, he had known, as positive ly, and more positively, than if she had told him, that there was a perfect response In her to the great desire which throbbed within him. It had come to him from her like the waver ing of soft music, music wjiich bad blended with his own pulsing diapason lu a melody so subtle that it drowned the senses to languorous swooning; It had come to him with the delicate far-off pervasiveness of the birth of a new star In the heaveus; it had come to him as a fragrance, as a radiance, as the beautiful tints of spring bios srvns, as something Infinitely stronger, and deeper, and sweeter, than the sleep of death. That tremendous and perfect fitness and accord with him be felt in her hand even now. "I can't, Tod," she said again, and neither one noticed that she had un consciously used the name she hnd heard frcm his mother, and which she had unconsciously linked with her thoughts of him. "There could never be a unity of purpose lu us," and now, for the first time, she gently withdrew her hand. "I could never be In sym pathy with your work, nor you with my views. Have you noticed that we have never held a serious dispute ovet any topic but one?" He drew a chair before her, and took her hand again, but this time be patted it between his own as If It were a child's. "Gall, dear, that is an obstacle which will melt away. There was a time when I felt as you do. The time will como when you, too, will change." "You don't undersiinnd." she gently told him. "I believe In God the Crea tor; the maker of my conscience; my friend and my father. I am In nc doubt, no quandary, no struggle be tween faith and disbelief. 1 see my way clearly, and there are no thorns to cut for me. I shall never change." Ho looked at her searchingly for a moment, and then his face grew grave; but there was no coldness in it, nor any alteration in the bluencss ol his eyes. "1 shall pray for you," he said, with simple faith. (TO BR CONTINUED.) People One "Run Across." "1 don't like people 1 run across women, especially. I should be a nervous ghost by this time if I had stopped to like people. Fancy all one's chance encounters, turning Into pulls on one's affection like the ropes the Lilliputians tied round Gulliver.

And the pcuco of Odd, which umet h all unriVrstiimlinK. shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.-rhlllppluns t.t, 7. Martin Luther once noticed a bird perched on a tree, resting for the night. 'That little bird," ho said, 'has chosen ity shelter and Is about to go to sleep In tranquil lity; it has no dis quietude, neither docs it consider where it shall rest tomorrow night, but It sits In pence on thut Blende! brunch, leaving it to God to provide for It. Thus we ourselves reftiso to trust In God, who so far from willing our condemnation, bus given for us his Son." The text we have chosen makes clear the pathway to peace for human hearts. First, we arc to ho "careful for nothing." This exhortation has bee.u misapplied by some. They aro truly careful for nothing and think they have cast their care upon God. Hut those acquainted with all the circum stances Inform us that they have only cost their cares upon their husbands or wives or friends, who must bear the burden for them. For such peo ple to talk of trust in God Is sheer hypocrisy. Thero is a proper sort of carefulness which is commended of by St. Paul in the very epistle from which our text !s taken (I'ltillpplans 2:20). The revised version makes cleur tho meaning of the apostlo in our text by the translation, "lie anxious for nothing." Again, we are to be prayerful about everything. Some good people are wise about what Is written In this regard. They tell us we should pray only about spiritual matters; but the text says "everything." Tho old mys tics even went so far as to say we Bliould have no desires, but should only pray, "Thy will be dom." To nay the least, this would be very un human, and wo are glad to bo as sured by the text that it Is not the di vine requirement. The Father wants us to tell out our hearts freely iuto his ear, and we ca see at once the relief this affords, and how It Is re luted to our peace. Questions may arise as to the need of telling God all when he knows all. Whether we can answer them or not tho fact re mains that we are encouraged "In everything by prryer and supplica tion," to make our requests known unto God. Henry Clay Trumbull was a very practical man, to whom prayer was a reality. Ho believed that In lit erally everything he Ehould make his requests known to God. On onp occa sion Just ns he was leaving for the train he mislaid the manuscript of an address he was to deliver. Ho had put It in his pocket and it had disappeared most mysteriously. Ho at once had recourse to prayer. He testifies that Immediately It was sug gested in his mind that ho look In his inside vest-pocket rather than In the pocket of his coat, and lo! the missing document was found. God will answer in various ways, but our part 1s plain: "In everything make your requests known to God." The third direction to those who seek peace is, that our prayer should be offered "with thanksgiving." This element is so generally omitted; as Spurgeon said, "Complaint Is the largest tribute heaven receives.". Hut wo may be thankful, literally, in everything. Tho very privilege of prayer should make us grateful, fur it gives us access to the most ro-lv place. The fact that all comes to ue Jroui the hand of God is a sure ground for confidence that we may be thankful for all. It will be Been at once that a grateful heart will help us on the way to peace. Then follows a promise that "the peace of God, which passeth ail un derstanding, shall keep tor guard) your hearts and minds (or thoughts) in Christ Jesus." Tho figure is a beautiful one. We are seen as shel tered In Christ as in a fortress, while peace liko a sentinel guards the door. The completeness of our protection Is suggested by the expression "hearts and thoughts," 1. e., the whole Inner man and the very workings of that inner man,' in detail, shall be guarded by peace. It is to be noted that this is a definite promise to those who are anxious for nothing, prayerful about everything and thankful for anything. A gloomy Christian told a huppy colored woman sho did not see how sue kept so Joyous. "Suppose," said she, "you grew sick,, or your em ployer died, or somo other dreadful thing were to happen?" The happy saint interrupted: "Stop, honey; 1 never supposes. The I.awd Is my Shepherd. It's alf dem 'supposes' as is makln' you so miserable. You'd bet ter give dem all up t.'ad Just trust de Lawd." Manifest God. We find that the selllsh striving, the bitterness and woe that people com plain of, are only a seeming reality. It Is tho picturing forth of false thought; It ia the fruitage of false statements. Our sorrows and desola tion, our pains and deformities, our poverty and bitter misfortune, cur buf feting with the- world as if we were fqotballs of chance, are conditions of our own making by our acknowledg ment of another power than the Mont High, who said, "Thou shalt have no other gods bofore me; thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve thorn."
