Kllerton Puller Iny stretched out
In his i'i!By chair. The clgnr between
his lips hnd Rone out. Across his
KneeB the evening pnper lny unread,
while he stared gloomily Into the fire.
That morning he hnd received notice
from the Arm that he was to tnko
charge of the branch house In Rnn
Francisco for a year, and that ho
would have to start west tho next
week.
Ho had been dismayed, for It mennt
separation from the girl to whom he
had been devoted for a long time.
In the evening, as soon as possible
after n hurried dinner, ho hnd cnllcd
upon her, and. finding her alone, had
told her of his love, and hnd aBked bcr
to marry him.
She hnd refused him. When pressed
for her reason bIio hnd said that al
though she liked him, she did not care
for him enough to mnrry him.
"Hut you must like mo a little, or
you would never have let mo see so
much of you In tho post year."
Tho anxious question in his voice
hurt her.
"It Is Just becnuso I like you so
much, and respect you so highly, that
I don't want to do you tho injustice of
marrying you without loving you.
Every man hns the right to bo loved
with the mind, body nnd spirit of the
woman who mnrrics him. You would
be defrauded of thnt right."
"1 am willing to run the risk."
"You may be now, but later on we
would both feel the lack of the com
plete love, and you would be restless
and unhappy."
"If I were here and could have this
time with you I might make you love
me."
"That Is something beyond our
knowledge."
"Will you let mo write to you whllo
I am away? Thnt will help you to re
member me. All of your other friends
will be here with you, and one of them
might win you."
Sho hesitated, then said. "No. 1
don't euro to correspond with any
man."
"Then I am to go nway nnd lenvo
you for n wholo year without hearing
from you?"
"It would be far bettor to do that
than to rnlso false hopes."
"Make mc Just one promise before
I go. If you nre free when I get back,
may I have another chance to try and
win you?"
"Why yes, 3'ou may if you still feel
the same then."
All tho way home he was haunted
by the question, "How can I tench her
to love mo when there nre to be so
mnny thousand miles between us? A
year Is an eternity, and some other
fellow will win her."
"There Is nothing to do," ho thought
hopelessly "A man cannot force him
self on n woman who does not want
him, and even letters are denied to
mo."
Tho wholo world was wrong; the
woman he loved refused him; he must
leave his friends and go among strang
ers for a year. Even his cigar failed
to bring comfort to him.
With a sigh ho picked up the paper.
"Well, I will keep busy, that will help
a little," ho thought. Ho glanced list
lessly over the pages. A short para
graph at the end of a column caught
tils eyes. Tho words "I Love You" were
tho title.
The article said that a writer had
compiled a book telling how to say "I
love you," in every language known
to man. He read it a second time. An
Inspiration camo to blm, and he cried,
"the very thing."
Tho next morning when Dorothy
Roberts camo down to breakfast she
found a letter beside her plate. There
was Just one sheet of paper, and in the
middle was written,
"I love you."
"Faithfully yours,
"ELLERTON FULLER."
She studied It with a puzzled frown.
"What an odd thing for blm to do,"
sho thought.
She put the letter Into her desk, and
In the hurry or the day forKOt It.
A box of violets came Into that aft
lernoon. The card on tho top read:
"Mr. Ellerton Fuller."
"Faithfulness."
Being a true woman, she was
pleased with ti;o gift, and the pleasure
Jdld not fade until the next morning,
-when she found beside her plate a let
ter in the same fine handwriting. All
lit contained was:
"Jo t'alme.
"Faithfully yours,
"ELLERTON FULLER."
"Well of all the silly creatures," she
.thought, "what absurd thing will he do
pext?"
In tho afternoon the violets came
.with the one word, "faithfulness" on
his card
Day after day It was the same. Eich
imornlng tho letter wan at her plate,
tout tho words "I love you" were In a
different language. Each afternoon
!tbe flowers came.
Sho was at first vexed, then amused,
then really angry Finally she wrote
him a formal note asking blm to dis
continue sending them.
Tho answer cume back, "1 am sorry
that you do riot like tho letters, t In
tend to win you If I can. 1 must havu
somo way to make you caro for me.
Lot mo correspond with you regular
1 ly and I will stop the other letters."
Sho mado no reply, and as tho let
; terB continued to come she put them
I away unopened.
One rainy day In clearing out her
1 desk she took up tho fast accumulating
I pile of them. Curiosity to boo In what
language it was written mado her
open the top one. She concluded It
must bo Chlneso from tho characters,
and burst out laughing at the absurd
ity of It all.
Amusement at a thing Is only an
other form of Interest for It; so she
began each day to open tho letters ns
they came. It was fun to try to trace
out what language they were In. Sho
began haunting libraries and hunting
obscuro tongues, many of which baf
fled her completely.
Rut she always knew what the
words meant, even if she did not know
the language, nnd the letters begnn to
Interest her.
8ho knew thnt Ellerton Fuller wbb
ncross the continent, nnd yet twice
each day ennio n message of his love
and loyalty to her.
A man who could bo so faithful de
served to bo loved, and she began to
worry becnuso she could not love him.
This led to her thinking of him more
and more. At last not an hour of tho
day passed without something sug
gesting him to her thoughts, nnd her
life seemed full of him, of his letters,
nnd of his flowers.
Ono morning thero wns no letter.
Sho looked again and again through
her mall with the same result. Think
ing that perhaps tho maid had been
mistaken, she searched through all
the other letters on tho table. Noth
ing! Perhaps It had been delayed and
would como by the next post; but she
was restlesB and broke an engagement
to stay at home all the morning and
listen for tho postman's whistle.
When the afternoon brought neither
letter nor violets, she wns filled with
anxiety. Sho forced herself to go
through dinner, but told her mother
thnt she would not go to the opera, at
sho hnd a severe hendache.
"Your cheekB arc unusually red, my
dear," snld her mother. "You must
have taken cold, for you are feverlBh.
You had better take a hot lemonade
and go to sleep early."
"I could not sleep. I will lie down
and read in thedlbrary."
About half past nine tho bell rang,
and the maid brought up a card
"I told him you were 111, ma'am, and
might not be able to Bee him," she
said.
Dorothy glanced at tho card.- It wai
familiar enough. "Mr. Ellerton Fuller."
The blood rushed over her face.
"Say that I will bo down at once."
Sho held on to the banister for sup
port, and slowly stepped from stair to
stair, for she trembled bo that she
feared sho would fall.
"Good evening," oho said, putting
out a hand which shook in splto of hei
efforts for self control.
Ellerton Fuller took her hand In
both of his and looked her over eager
ly, studying each fcaturo again nnd
again.
"I have been counting the very min
utcB until this hour for tho last six
months. Have I won or lost in my
struggle to make you love me? My
love for you has grown from day to
day, until It did not seem ns If I could
wait to get across tho continent. Dor
othy, tell me, do you, can you love
mo as I do you?"
The girl did not answer nor look up,
but something In her downcast face
and trembling figure told him tho
truth, nnd as with reverent hands ho
lifted her face for his kiss, ho said.
"Thank God for tho many wayB of
saying 'I love you.' "
Boomerang to Kill Ducka.
An American hunter who carries
boomerangs Instead of a repeating
shotgun Is a curiosity, but Vernon
Tantllnger, a St. Joseph, Mo., nlmrod,
uses tho Australian war weapon when
he goes after ducks.
Tantllnger is an expert with tho
boomerang and recently bagged 12
ducks with eight throws of his club.
Tantllnger Bays that as tho statutes
do not prohibit the use of boomcrangH
ho can hunt within tho city limits
whenever he can find game.
His modo of action In killing wild
ducks Is to throw one boomerang Into
a fllock when It Is on tho water, and
when tho birds rlso he Is ready to
hurt another stick Into the flock an it
Is bunched upon the wing. New York
World.
Improved Form of Lighting.
A new kind of light has been devel
oped In Frnnce for use In light
houses, where the uso of electric
lamps presents some disadvantages.
The lamp In question has n number of
filaments mounted somewhat after
the fashion of the fibers of an Incan
descent gas mantle In this way a
very strong light Is secured which,
moreover, has the desirable property
of being very uniform In nil parts of
the circumference. According to re
cent trials, the new type of lamp envo
twenty times as much light ns a Wels
bach burned and required very little
attention. The lamp Ib particularly
adapted for shore lighthouses, which
are easily placed In communication
with electric light mains.
Find Use for Waste Product,
In Wilmington, Del., a use Is being
found for the wasto products of paper
mills which have been accumulating
for years and have been thought
valueless. One factory has dumped
over 100.000 tons of residuum from Its
rollers on the neighboring flats, cov
ering about eight acres This Is now
to be treated by a process for extract
ing the carbon for the market and the
rest will be converted Into fertilizer j

LESSON T13XT-I.uk C:3SM!.
GOLDEN TEXT "Ho y tloers of the
Word, nnd not lipurrrs only, deluding;
your own selves." James 1:12.
Iast week wo had from the llpe of
Jesus throe Illustrations of that false
rIghtcotisneB which ho will not coun
tenance In his now kingdom. Today'B
lesson Is the Inst of tho present series
which has to do with tho fundamental
tenchlngn expressed by Jesus In hlB
manifesto nnd It Ib omphuslzod by tho
Golden Test taken from James' epla
lo.
J3PUS bogliiB with a short pnrnblo
which, though not recorded by Mat
thew ub being used in this nnnin con
nection Is hero used to In trochlea nnd
to explain whnt was snld about tho
moto and tho Iwnm. Parenthetically
Jcsub Informs ub thnt wo arc not
nbovo our Mnster. Wo mtiHt teach
principally In tho sumo manner ho
taught, o. g., by our IIvoh. Ho has
been setting forth tho mnnner of llfo
o bo followed by lits disciples. Ho
is tho Incnrnato truth, nnd In that
fact lay his power nnd success bb a
teacher, so ns we Incarnate his llfo,
llvo his life before the world, wo shall
most successfully teach. Ills sight
was unimpaired, hence 1Mb ability and
power. JesuB, however, gunrdB
ngnlnst any self-assumed righteous
ness upon the part of his followers by
telling ub that "everyone," thnt Ib
every disciple, "when he Is perfected
shall bo ns bis master." (v. 40.) No
leader or teacher hnB ever mode any
grent and lasting contribution or Im
pression upon history except as he
ban In a measure emulated the life of
Jesus or followed tho principles he
taught tho world.
Beam and Mote.
It Ib as wo nro being perfected, fol
low on after perfoctnesB In Christ
Jesus, that we nro effectually nblo to
see for oursolvcB nnd to lend others.
Jesus by means of this teaching about
the beam nnd tho moto shows us how
Impossible It Ib for a man who is him
Belf disobedient to the truth to be
nble to do anything that will help
others who are in a like stato of dis
obedience. Tie plainly Implies that
It Is not only Impossible but actually
a sin for ono who hnB a beam, a
"splinter" In his eye to attempt to re
move tho mote a light speck of dust
from the eye of nnother. Tho sin
of attempting to tench thnt which we
ourselves do not obey Is greater than
tho sin of him who la not obedient hut
mnkes no nttempt to tench tho truth
and cnllcd forth tho emphatic "thou
hypocrite" of Jesus. How many
fathers dcslro their sons to walk in
the path of truth nnd yet they mnko
no effort to remove tho beam from
their own eyes hypocrlteB Ib It to
bo wondered at that they both fall
Into tho ditch?
Jesus emphasizes nil of this by iibo
of tho figure of fruit-bearing. Tho
preposterousness of our looking for
figs upon thorn bushes, or to look fot
grapes upon a bramblo bush is pat'
ent to all. Wo know that corruption is
not so much a matter of infection ns
it has to do with inward purity. If
the treo of life is puro It will yield
perfect fruit, for llfo nlwayB repro
duces Us own typo, In tho same man
ner the Influence a man exerts Is the
influenco of what he Is In his own
life.
In verse 46 Jesus adds further
light upon this matter of hypocrisy.
He has already told us we are to build
upon his words, which were the truth.
Now ho shows ub that to call him
"Lord, Lord" with lips only, and not
because of a heart conviction, even
though It be known and heard of all
men, will not .avail. This aort of cry
ing aloud shall be tested by him who
knows the thoughts and tho Intents
of the, heart and It, too, shall receive
the Just reward of all hypocrisy. To
cry "Lord, Lord,' 'to Judgo others by
different standards from those by
which we Judgo ourselves, Is but an
other evidence of the Bin of selfish,
ness.
Obedience the Only Proof.
If we will real Paul's epic upon
love (I. Cor. 13) dally It will clarify
our vision and correct the motive of
our lives so that Its fruit will be ac
ceptable to God. Obedience Ib tho
only ono nnd only acceptable) proof
that wo ore friends of Jesus (John
15:14). To further add light and
significance to this wholo matter
Jesus tells us -of tho two kinds of
foundations upon which men build.
That upon tho solid rock may be se
verely tried, as shall all tho works of
man's hands, but being rightly found

Physicians Recommend Castoria
r ASTORIA has mot with, pronounced favor on tho part of physicians, pharma-

results most gratifying. Tho extonded uso of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of throe facts: v Tho indisputable ovidenco that it is harmless:
Second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiots tho norves, but assimi
lates tho food: TMnt. It is an agroeablo and porfect substitute for Castor OiL
It is absolutely safo. It does not contain any Opium.. Morphino. or othor narcotio
and doos not stupefy. It is unliko Soothing Syrups, Batoman's Drops, Godfroy's
Cordial, eto. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
evor, is to exposo danger and record tho moans of advanoing health. Tho day.
for poisoning innocent ohildron through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowlodgo, Castoria is a romedy which producos composuro and health, by.
