He looked at tin red nmrks left by his llncers on her rlioek, nml tho llit aroused In blm o fresh, detiionluc passion. He raved. He hhnuted nil the set-rets of M life to her. He. the thief, the cut law, had conquered the world I Why should he fulfill hi compact to keep the monsters within the bounds of Skjold fjord? He had ut ilrst Intended to. He had abandoned, under the Hwny of Ms pas sion for the jtlrl, his t! reams of world foniiii'st With Ma's love, he had even Indulged In the Idea of becoming tin ordinary man. He hud meant to take her to America and lose his Identity there In some peaceful existence. Ho had recognized that It Is this same Impulse which fills the world with oxen for men, patient beasts who might, with single-hearted purpose, be come lords of tbelr fute. I tut he had weighed his new hopes with the past and found them heavier. Then the girl's coldness, her Indif ference, had convinced hltn that win ning love was quite different from In venting scientific uppnratus and dis covering new laws. I Miring the long, silent voyuge to Norway he had real ized thut he could never win her. He could embrace only o cold form whose heart wus another's. And, with the awakening from his dream, the worst In the man If one quality wns worse than another had come to the top. He meant to koep Ida nml still achieve his purpose. Donald's maneuver In bringing the herd to Norway by the submarine method had completely deceived Mac I'.eard. He had thought nil along that the monsters had followed his motnr boat In obedience to his tuning fork, lie had not heard the cull of the queen, because its swift vibrations were audible as sound only for n very limited distance. In 8plte of their effect upon the men of the F.I.". Now he resolved to lend the herd back to the tfuropenn shores and com plete his work of destruction. He had Hcattered the obsolete navy that was sent out ngaltwt him. He would go on ward with no Idea of mercy. He would annihilate humanity. He would make himself sole master of mankind. , And Ida should be his mate, but not his equal, as he had planned. He would vent his rage on her. He would tench her his powers. When he was the only other human being existent, then perhaps she would begin to un derstand. He shouted all this to her. lie overwhelmed her with sarcasm and rhetoric. Ma, however, missed the keenness of the points he made. She saw only n madman, foaming at the mouth, nml she tool: pride In her sacrifice. .She looked back toward Donald. She saw Mm between the two other figures upon the shore, very little, and very fur nwny. Maclieiird saw the look and under stood. He raised his hand again to strike her. lint he refrained. Instead, he reached Into the cabin of the mo torbont und took his tuning forks from under the seat. And by that net of treachery he wrote the last page sf his history. He slung them about his neck, and, taking the rod, ie sounded the G note to call the swnrm together. The note rang true across the wa ters. Exhausted by their efforts, the monsters were Incapable any longer of condensing the hydrogen, but the Im pulse to reply remained. From every part of the Inland sea they swarmed toward him. The sen rose Into n choppy surge. The niotorboat, riding the waves like n cork, heaved and pitched. Mu saw Maclleard, his eyes alight with tri umph, his face blazing with hatred, now above her, nnd now below, ns he sat In the pitching stern. lSut the death of the queen had been the deuth-enll of the swarm; Instinc tively they were aware of It, nnd the single purpose that had nnlmated the herd wns gone. Aimrchv had replaced order. The swnrtri had become mere Mind mechanism, nnd devoid of pur pose. Anarchy possessed them, nnd It was furious, ns everywhere. So it Is In the slate, whim It obtains power. So In the human body, when the cells rebel nnd organized life flurcs out. The swnrm came on, a mere discordant multitude. MncIScnrd, seated In the stern, felt five sharp pricks upon the hand that dangled toward the water. He drew It back hurriedly. He Imagined that some Insect hnd stung him. Then a flipper lashed him across the face. Two more seized hlui nhout the body. An instant later, nnd he was out of the boat, which, released from his weight nnd from the sea devils, righted Itself again. Then ho begnn the strug gle for life which he had always feared. The nightmare that had brood ed over Ids dreams hnd nt last come true. The Infuriated monsters had turned upon the author of the call! He clung to the gunwale, calling wildly for aid. He heard Ma's screnms. lie knew that her impulse was to save Mm. Perhaps thnt was us bitter as tho P'lysicul torment; perhaps some Inkling of a higher law did reach, hp! pilnd before the end. T.ut if It did. It wns only n momen tary flash of Insight. He felt the cold embrace of the leath ery bodlin. He heard the snapping Jaws. He wus torn from his hold, fhrleklng, nml tossed Into the air, from Iteast to beast. His cries were so fren zied that they even reached the enra of those who watched on the shore. , V bricked nnd fought, but he had as much chance for life ns primitive luinn canght by a herd of dinosaurs. !fur a few mmuenU his bobbing body PSEAP. By VICTOR ROUSSEAU (Copyright by W. G. Chapman) wus visible, grotesquely sprawled upon the reddening waves. Then It was rent limb from limb. It disappeared, nnd, fighting over their prey, the sen devils played the last act of their own drama. They fell upon each other. It was the tragedy of the- hive the nnmml massacre of the drones; only they were all drones. Nature had no more use for them, now that their queen wns gone. Never had such n spectacle been seen by man before. The entire face of the Inland sou was n tumult of fighting monsters. The dead grew Into visibility as they became thicker. The flouting patches of white almost ob scured the waves. And still the tight became more frenzied. They tore each ether nnd them selves, they lashed the waves Into foam; animal debris floated from end to end of the fjord. As the dead drift ed toward the shore the struggle be cume more furious in the heart of the sea. Gradually it subsided. The last of the herd wus gone. The buttle that was to decide the fate of the world had been a civil one, and fought out without man's agency. The lash of the waves drove the light niotorboat toward the cliffs. It stranded not five hundred feet from where Donald and his friends, awe struck, had watched the progress of the titanic conflict. They ran toward It nnd pulled Ma from the thwarts. It had seemed incredible that she could have survived. For a long time she lay motionless. Drenched with the brackish water, her hair unbound, she seemed to sleep In Donald's arms, while he nnd Dnvles worked frantically to revive her. Davles raised his head at lust and looked at Donnld fixedly. Donald re fused to meet his gaze. They set to work again. For two hours longer they went through the movements of the resuscitation of the drowned. They stopped at last, cx- "I'm Your Master! Do You Know Now?" hausted. Dnvles laid his hand on Don nld's shoulder; this time it was he Who could not meet his friend's look. Suddenly they heurd Clouts shout ing, mad with joy. "Look, sir! Mr. Davles, look!" he screamed. They swung nround. The girl's eyes hnd opened, and there was recognition In them. She drew the first faint breath; her weak arms stole round Donald's neck. And In the unlversnl Joy nobody minded Clouts' mouth organ, as he blew "Home, Sweet Dome." "Hooray!" he yelled, tossing up his cap ut the finale. "Mr. Davles, sir, it's Just as I told you, Isn't It? We've brought her back to life, and now we're going to wake up ourselves." "What do you mean, Clouts?" asked Davles. "Why, sir, don't you see? We've Just been picked up and landed from the Beotln.' And we've been dreaming nil sorts of deliriums about sen mon sters, and suchlike. If I might be al lowed, sir, I'll put it to Captain I'aget. Ain't we Just been rescued after tor pedoing the cruiser, sir?" he asked. "Ain't the whole thing a dream?" Donald looked up. "I don't know, Clouts," he said. "I think you may be right. Hut it's a happy one." Davles looked tit him in dismay. "Do you really mean thnt, Donnld?" he nsked. "Do you honestly think that we have dreamed all this?" "It's as plausible os any oilier es plnnntlnn," Donnld replied. "I enn't see why we shouldn't have. It's too preposterous nil that about the sea devils and that harmless crank Mac Heard, who ,usnd to have newspaper rows with poor old Mastermnn. As likely as not we'll see him haunting the Inventors' club when we get back, qulto Ignorant of the part he has played In our lives. You know dreams do do that they put Inconsequential people Into absurdly Important posl Hons." "Hut linns It, Donald, how does Miss Kennedy happen to bo here?" "Why, wasn't she on board the I'.e- otla?" Donald replied. "At any rate, if it's all true, what have we got to show for It?" He had placed his arm across his breast, anil nt that moment he felt the crinkle of dampened paper In his Inner pocket. He pulled out the two pages of Mastermnn's letter. Donald unfolded It. It wus' quite legible, in spite of the stains of sea water; but now for the first time he realized that he held not one page, but two. They had become stuck together la some manner, and Donald hud uot perused the second puge. It was In the form of a posts-lpt. It I 0 ERIL iiikJ was the last sheet of the orlgluul manuscript, which Mastermnn, In his characteristic way, had Inserted after the first. He hud written: Hut thank God, Donald, my boy, man will triumph after all. I thought the nion Hters 'were Invulnerable, Unit nothing could oppose them.

What a trngedy! Of rourse time may seem lunger to her, but we deem our sev entv years ull too short. We ure saved, Punuld .... The letter rambled on, but Donnld, without finishing It, bunded It to Dn vles, who read It and gave it back. "If Miicltciird had known that" he began. "I think that 'If Is the rock on which he l 'Hindered." answered Don ald. "He worked out everything mathematlcully, hut ho Ignored the larger purpose "t the Creator." "Aye, aye, sir!" Interpolated Sam Clouts, feeling In his pocket. "If you'll excuse me, sir, that niotorboat seems wreck-proof, nnd I'd like to see wheth er It's still in good enough order to take us home." Which proved to be the case. " (THE END.) IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME Even the Biggest Men of Affairs' Ar. range Their Business on Punctu ality as Safe Guide. A young Kentucklnn lost a big for tune by being 20 minutes late In keep ing a business engagement, according to the Chrlstan Herald. The cheerless old fellow with the scythe always gets nil that Is coming to him. And there Is ninny n bnd senr on our fortunes where he has had to prod us up to the. mark. Time Is cheap nnd we nre apt to think we can filch It ns we will. But It Is ulways ourselves we rob, not time. Maybe you cna waste your own time by being late In keeping engugecnents nnd feel that the loss, If nny, Is your own affair. But It also is the affair of the man you keep waiting. You waste his time, too. If your time Is worth less, maybe his is not. He may con clude thnt his time Is worth more to him than you are. In ninny cases It may not matter much. But one never knows until af terward whether It mntters or not And through false politeness we are usually assured that It does not mat ter even when It does. Only the Idle nnd careless, whose time Is of the least vulue, can afford to waste It by looseness In keeping en gagements. It may be hard to acquire the fixed habit of alwuys being on time, but It can be done, and It Is worth while ta do It. Great business men hnve this hobtt Men of grent affairs, whose time most completely taken up, nre usually on time.

POPE Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-Call upon me In the day of trou ble; 1 will deliver thee, and thou shult Klorify me. We have been greatly Impressed late ly with the value of trouble as a meuns of opening men s spiritual under standing. Talking with a bank presi dent some time ago, he informed me " that he had , been III for sev eral months and that the Illness bad left him ut most totally blind. "I ciin see thut someone Is sitting In your chnlr," he said, "but If it were not for your voice, I should not have Hie slightest bleu who you were.'.' A little luter ho wrote mi!, "Vou left me a poem entitled 'What Does It Mean?' which has been read to me time and again uutll I have absorbed the spirit of It, If not nil the words, and to one who bus been so extremely active ns myself, nnd flnully has had 'The hindering wall placed be fore his meet,' tho sentiment expressed In the poem lias been most helpful, and 1 wunt to thank you for leuvlng It with me." In a recent letter he says, "For more than n year I have been totally blind. I am not prnylng so much for restora tion of sight, which can never come be cause of the withering of the optic nerve, hut I nm always praying with Puul for grace und strength, which I am thankful to say has been given me, and for that sight which Kllsba want ed his servant to have, that he might see the lulsts the Lord had arrayed on his side for his defense and salva tion." Here Is n strong, active business man, so blind that ho has to be led about the streets, but whose spiritual eyes have been so opened that he sees far more In this world Minn be ever saw before. And wliiif has caused this change? Trouble. Nothing else, probably, could have arrested his attention so effectu ally and forced lilm to fix It on things splrltunl so long nnd earnestly that now Jesus has become the sun und cen ter of the universe, the solace and suf ficiency of bis own soul. Truly his "light allllctlon, which is but for n mo ment. Is working out for him a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." These Incidents show what a large and blessed ministry trouble has In opening our eyes to the deeper things of life. We see ulso why it Is that God who causeth all things to work to gether for good to those who love him, mingles the bitter sp plentifully with the sweet. He knows that the natural heart Is not Inclined toward God, but uwuy from him. We are so busy digging in the dirt for dollars that we will not look up lit the Sun of Itighteousness until he puts us on our back, where we can only look In one direction, and that upward. And just as the stars are Invisible by day, lint shine out In all their beauty when night comes on, so God fills the Bible with special promises, bargain-day attractions to those in trouble "For In the time of trouble he shall hide me in Ills pavilion. (Liter ally, In a leafy bower, fragrant, shel tered and cozy.) In the secret of his tent shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock" (Ph. 27:.r). So, too, In Ps. 40:1 he says. "God Is our refuge and strength, a very present help (that Is an Immediate, right-away help) In trouble." Psalm 107 tells the sad story of four different classes of people who wan dered about by themselves until they were hopeless. "Then they cried unto the Lord In their trouble, nnd he de livered them out of their distresses." No wonder he exclaims again and aguln, "Oh, tlurt men would praise the Lord for his goodness, nnd for his won derful works to the children of men." In these sad, sad times when trouble Is more plentiful than ever before, what n comfort to realize that God Is able to use every bit of If as a linger board to point living and dying men to tho cross of Christ, Let us keep the pronflses of God In sight In our homes, schools and places of business, and let us fill our correspondence and conver sation with the words of Jesus. I wish some Christian printer would get up n window card containing In fine dis play God's challenge to people In trouble: "Cull upon me In the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, nnd thru shalt glorify me" (Ps. 50:15). The Joy That Is Strength. A certain king Instructed his garden er to plant six trees and place statues beneath them, representing Prosperity, Beauty, Victory, Strength, Duty und Joy. These trees and statues were to show to the world what the king hud tried to niuko his reign. They were also to typify the statues beneath them. The gardener planted six palm trees. When the king came out to In spect the work, nnd came to the statue of Joy, lie said: "I surely thought you would typify Joy with some llowerlng tree, like the tulip or magnolia. How can the serious, stately palm, symbol ize Joy?" "Those trees," suld the gardener, "get their happiness from manifest und open sources. They live In merry forests or orchards, with hosts of happy comrades. Hut I found this palm tree freyh nnd green nnd happy ull ulonu In u sandy waste. Its roots hud found some hidden spring creeping along fur beneath the burn ing surface. Then, thought I, the high est Joy has a foundation unseen of men, und n source they cannot com prehend."

This Is one of the most benullful stories of the P.lble. It appeals to the loving parents' hearts and charms the attention of every child. The Intro duction of the womnn who touched the Master's garment Is referred to by three of the gospel writers nnd gives us an Intensely Interesting sidelight on the reception accorded to Jesus during bis Galilean ministry. The dramatis personae Is ns fol lows: (1) The Father Is about to lose all the poetry and music of his home. CJ) The Child, twelve years old, Is Just on the threshold of Jewlsu woman hood. It takes little Imagination to picture how her life had entwined It self about the heart of the father nnd j the other loved ones. Tho stricken child Is still to be found in the land, and it Is this background which mnkes the picture so vivid. Why the suffer ing? Why the separation? Only our Heiivenly Father knows It all, and some day we will read the answer In the glory of his presence. (3) The Woman, who where from or whither to we are not told only one of a vast throng who hud just fuith enough to touch the hem of his garment nnd he made whole. (1) The Galilean Proph et's response to the furtive touch of need was Instantaneous, bit without the marring movement of haste. We can fancy these characters walking along the highway: Jesus paused us they were Interrupted. The woman was healed the moment she touched his garment. What is the meaning of the pause? Having taught the multitude nnd en- c -agcil the heart of Juirus, they reached the home, where Jesus exclud ed all but Peter, James und John, who entered with him Into the house of tumult, iiuule somber by the weeping and wailing of professional mourners and relatives. Again we are Impressed with the Calm Dignity of Jesus, as be asked, "Why this tumult? the child only sleeps." Their laughing scorn is due to their Ignorance of the power of the Mighty Christ In fuco of l he fact that the child was really dead. W hen he had turned the unbelievers mil, Jesus took the father, mother nnd disciples Into the chamber of death. The occasion was not for u speclacnlar ileinonstrulion of power. Having re siored the child to life nnd to Its par ents, Jesus admonishes them not to publish the news broadcast. Evident ly he was not yet ready to precipitate matters In the minds of the multitude, for of a surely he knew that in certiiln quarters the fact of the cure would he made known. This Is u beautiful picture of love: (1) The Father's love (vv. 22--M). (a) His need; (b) his position "ut Jesus' feet;" (e) his plea, "I pray thee;" (d) bis Insistence, "besought greatly." (2) The Stranger's Plea (vv. L'.V.'l."). (a) An Interruption; (b) "Of longstanding;" (c) Jesus' knowledge; (d) Jesus' re sponse; (e) her confession; (f) her blessing. (H) The Master's Love (vv. :;.V4:i). (a) Jesus' knowledge; the child was not dead in his sight; (b) delay does not mean refusal; (c) the tender resurrection in nnswer to faith; (d) the provision for her needs. Sorrow brought Juirus to Jesus. Sor row today brings more men to Jesus .than perhaps any other means. Cer tainly It has been so during this grout war. As the ruler of the synagogue Jairus laid aside his pride and hostil ity to make his pleu for help and ac cept service of Jesus. There are three recorded instances where Jesus raised the dead, This "only duughter," which wus a simple and apparently easy matter. (2) The "only son" of u widow, when he "stop ped the bier." This wns apparently ntteniled with more dltllculty than that of the little girl, for "she only slept." The raising of Lazarus, a grown man, apparently presented still greuter dif ficulties. Viewed from our human nn gle there were dllllcultios, but with God there nre none. Ills flat created the time nnd matter worlds. To as cribe dilliculty to God, is but to Judge bib by our standards. The great need In the foreign field Is evangelization supplemented by educa tion and the ministry of healing through dispensaries nnd hospitals. In the midst of the present war situation let us not forget our responsibility to the unevangellzed nt home und abroad. Jesus Is still the Insurrection and the Life for "sleeping" children, commu nities aud tuitions. Why did Jesus spend so much time In working miracles? To Impress tho value of bis life upon the world ns a testimony to his divine office, nnd a prophecy of his authority In ills coin ing Kingdom. The, Highest Liberty. To set nt liberty them that are bruised. People are bruised by fail ure, by disappointment, by defeat. They are like birds that were trying to fly nnd got wounded and dropped buck with damaged wing. Some power In their life bus been stricken. There are some whose love Is strick en, there ure some whose hopes are broken nnd others whoso wills nro broken. What we nre to do ns cru saders of Jesus Is to come and tender ly minister to the broken wing, to set ut liberty them that nre bruised. Rev.

U. has been no small factor In cleaning Uncle Sam's medicine closet. The superintendent; of this department, Mrs, Martin M. Al len of New York, thus describes the process : "When we started In to clean the medicine chest of the greut United Stutes, the chest wus n dreadful sight. Whisky, port wine, sherry wine, beer t give strength, brandy and gin for cer tain ailments ull stood In proud array on prominent shelves. "To attempt to elonn up such a meill cine chest wus a task sufficient to up pail stout hearts. Put a few bravo souls said the task should be done, ami gradually, surely, the cleaning has been i;oing mi. Some of the best physicians of the country aided In the task. Soon the whisky bottle for the consumptive was thrown uway, then the brandy for the typhoid fever patient. I'.oer and wliie were swept off the shelf by the aid of athletes who had proved that these drinks weaken instead of giving strength. Whisky for pneumonia was the next to go, and flnully the American Medical association swept off the Inst remaining bottle of alcohol us unneces sary In the treatment of nny disease." GENERAL PERSHING ON PROHI BITION. In an address before the National W. C. T. U. convention, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw gave direct testimony ns to the attitude of General Pershing on prohibition, "I bud the pleasure of meeting this great hero last spring In San Antonio, Texas," she said. "The citizens gave me u bnnquet, and among the honored guests wns General Pershing. When be was called on for n toast, the great leader of the army stood up nnd pro nounced himself a confirmed believer In the enfranchisement of women und In prohibition. After he hud taken his seat and the program had been concluded, General Pershing wns told by some of his Texas friends, "Prohi bition is nn unpopular subject In Texas. We nre not In favor of It." the general replied, 'So long as I tun at the head of the army I shall speak of prohibition.' T.ut go slow hi this matter,' they said. General Pershing responded, 'I shall not go slow on prohibition, for I know what is the greatest foe to my men, great er even than the bullets of the en emy.' " ERIEF AGAINST LIQUOR. The Union club of Cincinnati recent ly put out the following "brief:" The law says: That the liquor tralilc has "no Inherent right" to exist. The courts: That drink Is largely th(! cause of crime and pauperism. Physicians: That drink Is the chief cause of disease. Pusiness: that drink produces In competency and lneilicle'icy. The home: That drink destroys happiness and prosperity. The school : That drink Is the great est enemy of education. The church : That drink Is the chief oe to religion. Motherhood: Thnt drink poisons the very fountains of life. Kco'nomy : That drink wastes food and robs labor. Conservation : Tliat drink is ulways destructive, never constructive. Patriotism : That drink has disqual ified a large percentage of the young men called to the colors, and, as Gen. Leonard Wood says, "Is the soldier's worst enemy." THE CIVILIAN ARMY AS IMPORT ANT AS THE SOLDIER ARMY. The sule of liquor to the soldier In training In the United Stutes has been forbidden, so that he mny be strong, nlert, steady-banded, always ready, working with esprit de corps. At ev ery essential point there is exactly the same reason for ubslinence from liquor by the civilian. The men who mine coal, make munitions, cloth, uniforms, shoes, ships, run trains and steamers, or supervise any aspect of business life are just as much u part of the war machinery ns the soldier. The scien tifically demonstrated effects of alco hol are not peculiar to the soldier. Most of theso results, In fact, have been secured in tests on civilians. PROHIBITION A PART OF GREAT PLAN. Slowly, steadily, undeterred and un fiiglitened, the movement upon the strongholds of John Iiarleyeorn lias gone forward. To call it a wave of prohibition Is n weak figure. It has been more like one of those Inexorable changes which group under evolution. There has been no more staying It than holding back the grinding, unhiirrylng and unsatisfied forces of erosion.
