FAITn FIOllTS A BATTLE AND "cm COJIES." Faith Kirk was having one of her great battles as she worked over that Sunday dinner. And she had not fought It out when the family return ed, bringing with them four friends of Mr. Fulton, business acquaintances from other cities, whose good will it was necessary to keep. The dinner was served promptly, and Faith had no reason to feel afraid of her success. Mrs. Fulton even came out Into the kitchen when It was over atel complimented her on the dinner. The guests lighted cigars and retired to the library with Mr. Fulton. It w.as now nearly 4 o'clock. By the time ev erything was cleared nway In the kitchen It was half past 4 and In the short winter day dark already. Faith went up to her room tired and rebellious. She sat down and at first said she would not go to church. Then she thought of the dear home circle, and for nlmost the first time since she came away she grew dreadfully home sick. She threw herself down on her bed In the dark and had a good, bard cry. When It was over, she felt some what ashamed and lay still awhile, thinking. Then she rose and suddenly turned on her electric light "Faith Kirk, you are ashamed of yourself. Is this Malcom Kirk's daugh ter?" She asked the question as she put on her cloak and bat and resolutely determined to go to church and be a good Christian In spite of her troubles. 'To him that overcometh," the verse happened to be the subject of the En deavor meeting that very night and as she took up her Bible and went out of the house she was feeling better as she started down the avenue and then turn ed toward oue of the churches of the same denomination as the one at home. For she was homesick enough to feel that she would enjoy the worship bet ter In such a church. Faith's Sundays In Chicago since be had been there were not at all like the Sundays at home. She had at first tried to attend a church near her board ing place. Hut at the end of her studio experience she had found some Sunday work to do In connection with one of the social settlements. That work waa now too far away, and she was com pelled to give It np. Tonight, she said, ahe wonld go to the Endeavor meeting In the large church only a few blocks from Mrs. j Fulton's. She bad seen the notice on the outside of the building, giving 0 o'clock as the hour of service. The young people held their meeting In the chapel or prayer meeting room adjoining the main room. It was beau tifully lighted and furnished, and as Faith went In she was greeted at the door by a young woman, who gave her a topic card and a hymnbook and then showed ber to a seat The meeting began promptly, and Faith could not help wondering a little as she looked around at the very well dressed young men and women how much any of them knew about the struggle of overcoming. The next mo ment she rebuked herself for judging others. "They all have their trials no doubt," ahe said. "It won't do to Judge from appearances. Blch folks are not the happiest ones." She enjoyed the singing, and some of the more familiar Endeavor soags brought tears to her eyes. When the hour was about half gone. Faith bad aa Impulse to give her tes timony. She kept saying te herself that what she had been through that daf waa something that might help the others. In her father's chareh at heme the young people had always heea eav coaraged to help one another by relat ing their experiences, and Faith had ao other thought la mind when she roes daring a pause and told vary frankly something of her straggle that ear day. The young people all turned and looked at her In surprise, faith knew how to express herself very welL Ber father had helped ber very much. She did not mean to exaggerate her dhBc tit tles, but ahe spoke more frankly than she might if she had not been overflow ing from the day's experience. Besides, ber heart warmed to find herself la the society once more, and she longed for the christian fellowship. When she sat down, she bad time to think If she had said anything ahe ought uot She had simply confessed ber struggle as the Bible said Chris tians ought and she had only Inciden tally mentioned the fact that she waa working out At home they had girls In the society who worked out at serv ice, and tbey did not think much about It But before the meeting waa over she grew hot and cold by turns as she thought of having told all those young people that she was a "hired girl." She was almost tempted to get up again and tell them that she was the daugh ter cf a minister and a high school graduate and that her father had more than one letter from the pastor of the very church where she now was com mending the work done In Conrad and asking for counsel ns to similar work in tbe great city. Then she glowed with eiianm rvw hf lack of courage. "If Li IUuMtraHomtmBrrrnvMIevcT. IIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIl I ... 1 I did tell them what I am doing, It Is no disgrace: It Is an honest thing to do. I am nut ashamed of It" In spite of all that, when (he meet Ins; was over, Faith fancied that tho girl who had been sitting next to her turned away very hurriedly without trying to speak to her. The one who had ushered her to her seat, however, came to her and Introduced her to a girl standing near by. The girl shook bands rather stiffly and then excused herself, saying she had soma commit tee work to do. Faith was left stajitl lug alone, and no one els spoils to her. She tried to believe that there was no Intention In the neglect But her face burned, and she Anally re solved to go out, to shake the dust of that church from her feet and never return to It. She had reached the door when the face of her father came up before her, the patient, loving, long suffering fa ther at home, who had, to Faith's own knowledge, endured for years number less privations and slights without los ing his Christian manhood or courage. With the face of her father also came another, the Master's, as Faith remem bered It from one of the pictures she had at home of Christ In Gethsemane. "This Is not overcoming," she said to herself, and at the door of the chapel he stopped, walked back to the church door entrance and went Into the main room. An ushrr showed her to a good seat, and she sat there with her head bowed for IS minutes before the service be gan. When she raised her head, her yes were wet with tears, and the peo ple near her looked surprised. But Faith had overcome. She had fought another battle on that eventful Lord's day and had won the victory. When the service began, she enjoyed It The singing was by a quartet, and to Faith in her present cdtadltion the music came with refreshing. The ser mon helped her too. It was on the subject of Christ's sufferings, and she felt ashamed as ahe listened and com pared her own troubles with those of the great Sufferer for the sins of a whole world. At tho close of tho service tho hesi tated, bat Anally went up to tho front of the church and Introduced herself to the minister. He waa one of the Chicago pastors who bad known her father when be was In the seminary. They were not In the same class, but had correspond- ! a little of late years. What!" be exclaimed as Faith spoke ber name. "Miss Kirk of Conrsd! My dear," be called to bis wife, who was near by, "this Is Malcom Kirk's daugh ter. You remember bis stories In the papers. Our boys think there sre no stories Just like his. We are so glad to see you." The minister's wife greeted her very kindly, and Faith almost cried, she was so touched by their cordial reception. "Where are you stopping In the city r the minister asked. Faith hesitated and then frankly told him where she was and What she was doing. There was a moment's look of surprise on tbe faces of the minister and his wife, but they were genuine Christiana, and without ask ing any more questions tbe minister's wife said as she laid a loving hand on Faith's arm: "My dear, eome and take tea with ns next Sunday evening at ft. Don't tall will your She gave Faith their beuee number, aad Faith walked oat of the eharch feeling aa If seme Christianity were left la that great-el ael city after alt That night aha wrote heme a long letter te her mother, tolling her aU about her work and rapes tally tbe ec perleaee of that day. Whoa aba Sa uced, she prayed for Meaning aa al the dear home circle, and In greater peace of soul than she had known In a teag time ahe committed herself to she care of the Al rather. As the week's work began again, tbe Fultene found themselves wondering hew long the new girl's capabilities would hold out Faith combined her father's physical endurance and her mother's Vew England thrift and neat Her kitchen shone with brrght Her meals were delightful sur prises to every member of the family. Her good nature eeemed unfailing. "We've get a real treasure," even Mrs. Fulton confessed Wednesday evening to her husband. "The only thing I dread is thst she may not hold out I bare never been satisfied with any girl 1 ever bad." "Perhaps you expected too much," Mr. Fulton suggested, absently, as he continued to read his paper. "I'm sure we pay enough to get sat isfactory help." she repUed.

The famous tower on the Fiimmlt of Leith hill is undergoing a much-needed renovation. The tower has occupied its present position for 1.14 years. It was erected in 1776 by Richard Hull, f Leith Hill place, who selected the exposed position as his burying-plaoa. and his remains were, on his ' gth in 1771, Interred benealh the tower. Sub sequently a portion of the Interior was filled with stone and cement, and the entrance blocked. In 164. however, the lord of the manor determined to re store It to its original purpose of a prospect tower. The solid cement, how ever, cannot he pierced and in order to overcome the difficulty an outer tur ret for the staircase had to he built. Since that time many thousands of holiday-makers have ascended it for the more extensive view pained from its parapet. The building and the re construction nre each commemorated by stones bearing inscriptions in Latin inserted in the brickwork over the , door. The height of I.eith hill Is 068 feet, and the tower renders the view one from a height of 1,000 feet the high est point In the southeastern counties. This renders possible a more extend ed view than from nlmost any point near London, reaching from the lony line of the South Downs to Dunstable lowns, in Bedfordahtre a prospect embracing many counties and com puted by some as a district 200 miles in circumference. ARE EASILY UPSET. Some People Lose Their Serve nnd Sense When Confronted by Ussftr. "I remember once hearing of a fel low who. coming uninjured out of a railway wreck, worked like a demon to assist his less fortunate fellow-pas-senpers," said a railway official to a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. "All tho time he was at work, however, he held one hand to his collar, and, when it was over, one of his companions discovered that be was holding tipht to his neck tie, which ha had been in the act of tying1 veen the collision oseurred. "i'lople act very queerly when they are, or think they are, in danper. "I know a young girl whe had learned te svrlm quite well, and one day she tried to swim across a river. There were plenty of people about and the distance was not great, but when she was half-way across some one called out: 'How deep is it?' She let her foot down and, of course, found she was out of her depth. Instantly she lost her nerve and sank. She came np once, tried to scream, but the wa ter choked her, and down she went again. "A man, realising that something was wrong, jumped in, clothes and all, and pulled her out. He was none too soon, for ehe was unconscious when he pulled her up. It was the aheer fright of knowing that she was out of her depth that caused it all, as other wise there wasn't the slightest dan ger." The laala Fasalae. Hatare holds out no prospect of re Hsf to the famine which has prevailed so long In India, but on the contrary there Is every prospect that the con ditions will be worse this ytsr than last. Ia the course of s recent speech on the budget the viceroy, Lord Cur ron, said the lose to the wheat crop caused by the drought during the pres ent year waa from at 8,000,000 to 10, 000.000. He added that the loss to the eettoa erop was 7,000,000, while the oilseed erop, usually covering 18,000, 000 acres, was non-existent outside of Bengal and the northwest provinces. The lose to cultivators in Bombay alone, in food crops, was 18,000,000 and In cotton 4,000,000. It was im possible, he said, for any government to aatlctpate the consequence of a visitation of nature on so gigantic aao ruinous a seals. "aaeelta" Is Nasn.

Rubber being la growing demand, ecieatifle men have been trying to ob tain It from plants which had not been available commercially before. Two French chemists, MM. Arnaud and Vernull, have discovered a proc ess by which it may be obtained from the Landolfia vine, which grows wild and luxuriantly In nearly all parts of Africa. The process of tapping the Landclfla Is Impracticable as the flow of rubber hardene too quickly. By the new process the vine is crushed in hot water, by which means all the rubber It contains ia extracted. A Land et Cantraets.
