WASHED with rain, the stars, "forgctmcnots of the an gels," blinked 1 1 in p 1 1 1 y from tho sky of violet blue. IThc moonlight flooded the country, percolated in soft, refulgent enscades through tho spruces and hemlocks and traced with Its witchery weird ara besques In tho glades. On the road that ribboned through the forest and up from the lake walked Emma Brooks and her sister Beth, the latter grumbling. "You Are the queerest girl," she com plained. "No one but you would think of coming out In such weather not a soul. My shoes nre so henry with mud I can hardly lift my feet." "Oh, I Just had to! I love It," rc- CHod Emma. "I simply could not stay idoors. 1 know now what a bird must feel like when It la caged. You must humor nie, little sister. I have been born again awakened to n new life. My soul, snatched from the swlrl fire of sordidness, of sorrow, of base ness, that seared It, must expand or burst. My life for so long wns de pressed In tho fog, like that we carao up through today to emerge at last Into the brightness of the mountain tops. It Is hard to realize that I have left nil this behind and nin free in the light." "You certainly have had a hard time of It with that beast," admitted Beth, stopping to take breath. "Listen!" went on Emma. "Don't you love that chorus of the frogs and the grasshoppers? I think there Is something weirdly exquisite In these noises of the night that we do not hear In the city, that I have not heard for ages and ages. Oh, 1 wish the woods here were full of tho old world nightingales that the poets say 'feed tho heart of the night with fire, satiate the hungry dark with melody.' don't you? And don't you love this incense of the soaked earth and Its verdure? It lifts mo to tho clouds there that drift like silver snow past the moon." She laughed aloud In her light heart ednoss, and the joyous peal went echoing through the wood. "Ixr Emma, how you talk!" 4sald Beth, marveling at her sister's exalta tion, which she did not understand. They trudged on and upward in si lence through the mud, past cheerful lights that glowed through windows of bungalows and cottages among the trees, until they came to a miniature dwelling ensconced In a bower of laurels. At the door stood Mrs. Ilarris. She was displeased. 'Tor goodness sake! Where have you been?" she exclaimed us the girls entered. "I began to think you hnd fallen into tho lnke or oft a rock or that some other dreadful thing had happened to you and was scared to death." "Emma," said Beth, dropping Into a chair, "is impossible. She insisted on walking right to the lake, though the "I have been born aaain awakened to a new life." roads were awful nnd ankle deep in mud bo sticky that I thought I'd havo to leave my rubbers In It. Don't for get, too, that's all uphill coming back." "Oh, I never enjoyed a walk so lu my Hfef' declared Emma. "It wns magnificent! I couldn't havo slept, I couldn't have stayed In bed, If I hadn't taken It." Bat Mrs. Harris refused to be mol lified. "And I won't be able to sleep be cause you've made me bo nervous," he complained. Emma went to hr, put her arm bout her and kissed her. "Don't be cross, mother," she plead ed. "You know this Is my first sniff of real country for a century, and I havo never been in the Catskllls be fore and therefore never so near heav en. I am n little girl again, as full of childish Joy as I used to bo when fa ther took us on those trips which now seem llko a drenm. they were so long ago." "If your father hadn't been so 'easy' we'd be owning a handsome cottage nt one of the fashionable places lu tho Adlrondacks instead of lilting a mean little bungalow here," lamented Mrs. Harris. "No fashionable people ever come here, and one has to be so partic ular. But what Is one to do? Ono can't remain in New York In tho dog dnys!" "For me, I'm sick nnd tired of the mountains," nunounced Ueth. "I'd like to go to Newport, where we'd stnnd n chance of meeting somebody nnd where anyhow we'd be able to see real society people." "Bother society!" said Emma hap pily. Both her mother and Dcth looked shocked. "Emma, how can you say such a thing?" reproved Mrs. Harris, envel oping herself In nn air of loftiness. "I hopo you have not allowed your self to be Influenced by the nnnrchlstic vnporlugs of your of that unspcaknblo person whose name Is not to be men tioned." "I've read somewhere that flno soci ety is only a self protection ngalnst the vulgarities of the street and the tav ern," chirped Beth primly. "That all depends on how you define 'One society,' Beth," said Emma. "I mean the society of wealth, tho Four Hundred, of course. I pray every night that I may marry a duke or a count." "Ueth has such elevated Ideas!" com mented her mother admiringly. "Such petitions," observed Emma, becoming grave, "never reach the mercy seat It Is said that at mid night every New Year's eve, when the bells of the churches ring out the dying year, there issue from the bel fries streams of vapory spirits with distracted, terrified faces, their hands clasped to their cars. They are tho prayers that never rose any higher, prayers of worshipers iu the churches who repeatedthem mechanically, as they are accustomed to do every Sun day, without realization of the signifi cance of the words they utter; prayers muttered by those whose thoughts were on other things; prayers of the hypocrite; prayers of the humbug; supplications to tho most high for tho preposterous and tho Impossible; pray ers of those who do uot practice what they preach; prayers of those who do those things which they ought not to do and leave undone those things which they ought to do and think their weekly glib confession of It and their obolus in the collection plate ab solve them. With the Jangling and clanging of the bells they nre borne by tho winds over mountain nnd sea and are lost forever In the eternal void between the worlds. All such prayers wherever uttered must share this fate." By this time Mrs. Harris was agape, too astonished to utter a word. "Gracious, Emma!" gasped Beth. "You talk like a book. I don't know what's come over you." "It is my new birth. I told you It wns as though I had been born again. I hopo you will marry a duko or a count If you want to, Beth. As a rule, 1 believe they are real men, every whit as worthy as good men who don't bear this distinction of title. Still, the field Is necessarily restricted, and you mustn't forget that there arc other noble men as distinguished from no blemen men of sterling value, who ring true under every test." "I.lke-llke Jlmsy" ventured Beth with a dubious air, casting about and on the spur of the moment thinking of none other she knew who would fit tho description. "Like Jimsy." assented Emma em phatically. "But he's so.ungrnrauiatlcal, so cr shy on education, besides which he hasn't any money," objected Mrs. Har ris. "None to speak of," seconded Beth, pursing her lips deprecatlngly. "Asldo from that, though," conceded Mrs. Harris, "I must say Jlinsy's a, real good man and most obliging. He can't help his upbringing." "How ubout Captain Williams?" questioned Emma. "How would you class him?" "My dear," answered her mother, "you wouldn't put him In tho same class with Jlmsy I mean socially, lie's so rich! I wouldn't be surprised If he were several times a millionaire. Remember, ho has two automobiles. And the handsome way he treated you! Why, he crossed out tho $10,000 that abomination stole as though it were a matter of 10 cents." "A man's true wealth is the good he does in this world, mother, according to Mohammed." "That is how It may have appeared to that foreign prophet lu the year 1," retorted Mrs. Harris with a tone of finality, "but In this age of horse sense In tho United States n million dollars iu the bank is the real standard of wealth. With money you can do everything. If you havo plenty of it you can do plenty of good, and every body else will sit on the fence and clap, but if you haven't any you are no good to yourself, can do no good 'to others, and everybody else will get down from the fence to kick you." Left to his own devices. Brooks took a survey of the position In which he found himself, and his conclusion was not without gratification to him. The clean "bill of health" she bad been the means of obtaining for him from Cap tain William, had In fact left at bis free disposal as his own property several hundred dollars from his stealings and from his last "plunge" on the horses. Which bad bees a winning one. Tnea there was the furniture The plnno was supposed to be Emma's, and he felt sure she would send for It. but he had no Intent Ion of surrendering It Not one stick, not one penny, would she ever get out nf lilm ufici tln wnj lu which she had fronted Mm Tin very dny after lier ilppnrtvri- mid the .Instrument to the plain- house from which it had been purchased. Within three days he had removed from the hotel where they hud lived in stnto for such a brief period and transferred such furniture ns he re quired to one room'ln n bachelor npnrt- nient House. Tbe rest he disused of for cash. He was a bachelor again to all Intents and purposes, and he re solved to enjoy his liberty to the full. He had had enough of married life. with Its enrcs and the discipline of re straint It Imposed. Once more he was one of the boys." To make his posi tion unmlstnkabic nnd discourage nny disposition on his wife's part to return No him ho forwarded, care of her mother, her portrait, that had been conspicuous on the parlor mantel, after taking It from the glided frame In which It had stood. On the back of It he wrote n verse of an old song: My wife she ran away from mo Some two or threo weeks bro, And now she wants to come back again, Hut I tell her It's no ko. "Once tilt twice shy," Is my reply. And If It was to rain Cats and dogs and mussels and frogs I'd never have her back again. There wns no word of cxplauntlon beyond this insulting doggerel, nnd he was careful not to give his nddress. He chuckled as he put It In the letter box. At times he was n little uneasy lest she should seek to discover his whereabouts for the purpose of mak ing a claim for support, but as the weeks wore, on and nothing was heard from her be became reassured. Ho had had little difficulty In pro curing work, thanks to Captain Wil liams' note accepting his resignation, nnd soon was established as assistant to the receiving teller In a bank with a salary of $25 a week. With this and tho money already In his possession he deemed himself rich, and his fitful optimism obtained the ascendency ouce moro in its usual extravagant form. But his escape from nrrest had been a lesson that had sunk In deeply. lie vowed never ngaln under any circum stances to "borrow" from the funds he handled in the course of his duties. He eschewed horse racing also, know ing that if tho bank officials became aware that he was gambling he would lose bis place that very Instant. After awhile bis fellow employees noticed that Brooks, the spry, genial Brooks, who bad won the good will of everybody, as he had In the general office of the Latin-American Steam ship company, manifested a tendency townrd moroseness; that bis face nt times assumed an expression of mel ancholy. Despite his love of self, he wns of those natures which do not thrive In solitude. He never had cared much for the companionship of men. His Inclina tion always bud been toward that of tho opposite sex. Accustomed also as lie had been for so long to the conso lations of home life, to the thoughtful. affectionate ministrations and bright presence of Emma, ho was bound sooner or later to miss her. "There's nothing In this living alone."' The avowal came ouo night after he had spent an evening at the theater with two sociable fellow clerks and ho gazed around his silent, cheerless bedroom. Although he had not nt any time loved Emma with that Ineffable passion which is the golden ladder upon which the soul mounts to heaven, yet she had filled a larger place In his heart than he had ever had any com plete idea of prior to her absence. His sentiment, fostered by his selfishness, revived with violence under bis Intro spection. He yearned Sor Emma's smile of greeting and the kiss that ac companied it at his homecoming, for the numberless sweet attentions she had lavished upou him. How pretty she was, how gentle: How sweetly she bad put up with his 111 humor! She was different from any of the girls and women he had over been acquainted with. He was sorry he had sent the photograph, uot uloue because he felt that he had made gratuitously n false move, but because lie wished he had kept It for himself. There was not one personal object re muliilug that had belonged to her. The little ornaments she had liked, her clothes, the trinkets she had left be bliid, he had disposed of In his haste to get rid of everything that could re call her or to which she might lay claim. Ho wondered if she, too, was sorry for their separation. She must be. How could sho llvo under tho eternal nagging and fault finding of her moth er and the lording proclivities of Beth and not long to return to the hide peudence of her own home? She had loved hlin. His memory evoked tho distant vision of her frail, lithe form clinging to him ns sho gazed up Into his eyes, her own nglow with the glory of her ndoratlon and Its de lirious Intensity. Ho felt the blissful pulsations of her heart throbbing against him, Its paeau of passlou; ho heard, too, In fancy the red Hps murmur her soul's ecstasy in words of llamo and beauty, felt the thrill that shivered through him as his lingers threaded caressingly tho shimmering cloud of her tresses. That was long ago in their early possession of eneb other, when sho had awakened to knowledgo of herself and bad wor shiped him as a god, fountalnbcad of Joy and light for her on earth. This transcendent passion had not found in him the responsiveness it craved and which alone could nourish it Emma had been an enigma to htm often, a riddle that had bored him at times. His blunted senses, sharpened by desire of her, perceived that stu pidly, Ignorant!, he bad disdained a treasure beyond price. Hut, remembering wh it hi- h d Ix-mi to her nnd that she was t; hi wire, ho believed that a reconciliation could bo brought about. Sentiment and de sire took counsel with advisability: selfishness weighed the pros and cutis In the end Hontlinent and desire, being the stronger, ndjusted objections to their own point of view. Hut even then It was some time before he could summon up courage enough to take any steps In tho mnttcr. Summer had given place to winter nnd returned ngaln since Emma had loft him. In nil that time be had not heard from or of her. He bad made no attempt to see Jlmsy Smith or nny of his former friends und nssoclntcs. Now he bent his thoughts upon how best to effect the rapprochement. Should ho write Emma, expressing bis contrition and bogging her forgive ness? His pride stiffened nt tills prop osition. Should he write nnd request an Interview with her? If be could see her he believed he would have little trouble In persuading her. But, coun seled by her hateful mother, who nl ways had despised him, she might re fuso to see him. 1'erhaps the best way would be to approach her through some ono else. Tho only person be knew of who by nny possibility could act as Intermediary was Jlmsy Smith, tho genera utility man. Requisitioning Jlmsy's services did not appeal to him. Ho had long been jealous of his prosperity and of tho fact that he had once been a suitor for Emma's hand, although Jealousy on account of the latter circumstance was rather the outcome of envy of his success in business. Nevertheless Jlmsy was Indispensable, and the moro Brooks realized this the higher be came the degree of favor to which he restored him. It had been bad policy not to keep In touch with Jlmsy, a se rious mistake. Smith, however, was uch an "easy," obliging, warm 'heart ed fellow that there would be no dif ficulty In squaring things with him and getting him to net as go-between. He resolved to call on Jlmsy.

Verses 13-14 Why did Jesus want to be baptised? What reason is there for tho opin ion that John's refusal to baptise Jesus was a reasonable position to take? Verse 15 Is baptism essential to salvation and If not, what Is Its pur pose? Bepentauce seems to have been a necessary step to John's baptism, did Jesus need to repent? Verses 1C-17 What evidence is uiero that any person but Jesus saw the opening heavens, tho Holy Spirit, or heard the voice from heaven? If a few of those present, who were spiritual, saw and heard these things, is there nny evidence to show that the multitude did also? Verse 1 Why did tho Spirit lead Jesus into tho wilderness? What reasons nre there to believe that temptation was, or was not, es sential for the spiritual development of Jesus? Is temptation necessary, or a part of God's educational process for all of us? Give your reasons. How much virtue would there be In doing right, If there were neither temptation nor opportunity to do wrong? (This question must be an swered In writing by members of the club.) Verso 2 Why did Jesus fast and what is the general effect of farting upon spiritual life? If Christians follow tho example of Jesus in tho matter of fasting, what results would probably follow? Give a reasoned opinion as to whether Jesus would probably feel the pangs of hunger during tho ecstasy of the fast? Whnt nro tho limits of the rule that reaction generally follows exaltation, and stato whother Jesus was likely passing through thlB reaction when ho was "an hungered"? Vnrsn 3 To what nnrt of tho nature of JeBUB did tho Dovll make his first appeal? Give your reasons for your opinion as to whPther 'physical temptations aro as numerous, or dangerous as spiritual temptations? Verse 4 What would havo been the moral quality of tho act if Jesus had mado bread out of stones? In what sense do good men llvo by tho word of God? Verso 0 -Did Jesus go bodily Into tho city, nnd if not, what did take place? What nro thn reasons to believe that tho mental temptation, would bo as powerful as If It hod been physical ly performed? Verses C-7 What dees ,thls second tomptatlon appeal to? Are there any exceptions to tho rule that a man of God will nover go con trary to God's established laws? ,-Vhat is it to tempt God? Verses S-ll What method did the Devil adopt to give Jesus the moat ex tensive view of bin kingdom? What nro "the kingdoms of the world" which the Devil controls? How could the Devil have given Jesus what he promised? Do Angels always minister to thoea who successfully oppose the Devil?
