M.HtfH"f I
THAT SCOTT TRIBE
By SUSANNE GLENN.
Tho girl stood motionless until tho
two young men disappeared round tho
bond In tho road. "Oh, I hato him. I
halo him," she sobbed angrily, drop
ping the rusty tin pan she was hold
ing. "Hut I BUppo80 you thought Mark
llermon was perfect. You'ro so ovor
lastliiKly standing up for hlui." ob
served Iter mother, astonished out of
her habitual lassitude.
"Ho had no right to way that! I
don't enro If wo are poor and shiftless
and If Hen has made a mistake ho
had no business to call us that 'Scott
tribe,' and to a perfect stranger!"
"1 don't know as ou havo any call
to get so eNclted over It what folks
say doesn't 'make much difference one
way or tho other." And the woman
bent to gather up the dandelions that
had been spilled In the hasty descent
of the rusty pan.
101 Iza Scott it pretty, girlish face held
a new question. Was her mother riant
this doesn't-mako-uny-dlfference sen
timent she had InMlllcil Into her nil
her young life, was It right? "Oh, It
does make tt difference," she whispered
passionately. "I'll t-how him, some
how, that then Is more to 'Hint Scott
tribe' than he ever dreamed!"
Hut how? It is not a slmplo matter
for a mero gill to counteract the re
sults of geneiatlotiH of shlftlessness.
It's easy enough to be prosperous
when you have a lino farm to hand
down from father to son and each
generation leaves it inci eased In
value." thought Kllzn, as tKi sat In her
window that night looking across the
Scott's scraKKV Holds and delapldatcd
not." she admitted, Hushing painfully
in the dnrknet-H, "I've been a llttlo fool
Now I'll show him I amount to some
thing even If my name lo Scott."
But young Mary llermon evidently
noticed nothing unusual with 111
eaey-goltig neighbors. Ho was exceed
ingly busy, during every spare mo
ment, over a patch of lino garden
ground where ho was patiently coax
ing his choicest seedlings Into tho
"blue-ribbon" vegetables which it was
his pride to display each autumn at
tho great convention of all tho country-Bide,
tho county fnlr.
Ho did pause in amazement one day
when Eliza Scott passed him with 11
crisp llttlo nod. "Why, whatever," ho
asked himself wonderlngly, "has cpmo
over that llttlo Scott girl? Sho has al
ways looked like n neglected wax doll,
but I'm blnmcd If sho Isn't getting to
bo a mighty good looking girl! It
takes something besido a pretty fnco
to bo good looking. I didn't suppose
ono of that Scott trlbo had it In her to
look liko that."
Mark was complacently putting out
his team after taking his finest load
on record to the fnlr ground. "There
was nothing thero to compare with
mine," he thought with satisfaction.
"I'd hato to got beaten now, after get
ting most of tho bluo ribbons in my
department for five years. Well, by
Jove," ho broke off, as a thin team
drawing a ramtihacklo old wagon
passed by In tho dusty road, "It cer
tainly looks as if tho Scotts woro go
ing to make an exhibit! I'm blamed
If I'm sorry, for it Just means an
jthcr disappointment for them. I'll bot
that Is Eliza's idoa, nnd it is just a
shame. Wish sho'd said nothing to
mo about It; there is something about
that girl" Ho left hie thought un
spoken wbllo ho gazed after the re
treating wagon.
For tho first tlmo in his ltfo, Mark
dreaded approaching the fair grounds.
"I did not supposo anything could
tnako mo dislike seeing bluo ribbons
In my stuff," he admitted whimsically.
"I don't know what has got into mo.
( supposo it is because I hate to see a
girl disappointed."
Eliza Scott and her mother were Just
beforo him as ho entered the hall.
What was this? He paused bowildcred
beforo his early potatoes they were
"seconds;" bcsldo them was a basket
of beauties bearing tho coveted bluo
ribbon. His nrofessional heart warmed
at Bight or them In splto of his chagrin.
"Just look, mother, I hnvo first on my
potatoes," ho could senrcely credit his
ears with hearing Eliza saying In sub
dued excitement. "And my corn and
everything. I'm simply too over
Joyed for words."
In tho crowd Mark found it cosy to
keep near without being observed. It
seemed perfectly marvelous that Eliza
could havo raised thoso vegetables "un
der his very noso" without his having
suspected It. "Oh, and l'vo first on my
jelly, and second on both cakes and
truly, truly, mummy first on my
bread; I didn't dnro hopo for that!"
"I should think you would want to
go In and look at your fancy work,
Eliza," obflerved Mrs. Scott. "Some
of your embroidery was fino. You are
a funny kind of girl to bo moro Inter
ested in all this garden truck and bak
ing thnn you nro In that."
"But I'm not trying to 'beat' any
one at tho fancy work, mother, and I
nm hero. I set out InBt spring to got
tho blue ribbons away from Mark ller
mon, nnd l'vo done It. Ho will know
tlilu once, anyway, what It Is to stand
back for ono of tho 'Scott trlbo!"
"Why, Eliza Scott! I never dreamed
you had such a disposition," gasped
her nstonlshed mother.
"I'm lnd I havo a llttlo spunk," re
torted fillza, walking away.
Maw llermon stood still In conster
nativi. Yob, ho had called thatn "the
'. . . ',. , , .; .. !'. .... l',...v,. :..,.':..' n,iL. A. .... .. . -W. . . .., ' , ,.. .- .i-.v. ,AuM&JteJk .. ..
Scott tribe," a few times audibly, and
many times In his own mlml. "And 1
don't suppose 1 should enjoy having
tho Hermons spoken of In that way,"
ho admitted uncomfortably. "1 wonder
If I'll over bo able to make It up with
Eliza,"
But Eliza seemed capable of tanking
hersolf very Inaccessible, nnd It wn
nlniost ovenlbg when he found nn oj
portunlty to spouk with her. "Eliza,
will you let mo drlvo you homo?" hi
asked, with nmnzlng humility.
"Thore Is plenty of room In our wag
on for nil of us, thnnk you," nnswerec
tho girl, with apparent Innocenco.
"But your people are gone," ml
tnltted Mark, n llttlo shnmefacedly. "1
I told them I was going to bring you.
I've wanted nil day to talk with you,
Eliza, but you would not give mo n
ehnnce. So I had to make an oppor
tunity, didn't I?"
"Then there Is nothing else for me
to do," she agreed with a tnallorof
ractnesn that made his heart sink In 11
most disconcerting manner. "Hut I am
quite certain you ought to bo pun
Ished," she added with a smile.
"I'm wondering what my punish
ment Is to he," ho observed, breaklnj!
tho rutin r iincomfoi table silence aftei
they had started.
"I should iiy that driving befoie the
assembled country-Hide with a Scott
would be sulllclent," answered Eliza,
cheerfully
"Eliza, see here," blurted tho young
man, "I don't suppose you can forgive
me for that 1 never thought before to
day how It would seem to he born In n
homo like- yours I never thought of
the help I've had right along 1 guess
1 thought I had done It all, myself!"
And he laughed with self-scorn.
"1 suspect that I might havo felt
thnt way, too, If I had been in your
plnce." admitted Eliza, gently.
"Oh, 1I0 not mako excuses for mi
but you are an angel to do It!"
"I cannot Imagine an angel working
herself to death all summer to 'get
even' with some ono for an Idlo re
mark," seveiely.
"It wasn't nu Idle remark I meant
tt. I thought I was better than you
were. I never even took tho trouble to
seo what soit of girl you wero until
you began snubbing mo this summer.
Hut I'm getting my punishment, never
fear; you are not like any other girl
In tho whole woild to me. Eliza., And
1 110 not uare ten you auoiii 11 necauso
or what has happened,"
Thero was a long Mlence. The glrl'a
fnco beamed softly. In tho tender
autumn twilight his arm stole along
tho back of the sent. "Dear," ho whis
pered, "don't you bellovo wo can fix It
no that we can tnko our exhibits to
tho fair together next year? I'd so
much rather tnko a back seat for my
wife than for n mere nolghbor!"

CHOSE QUEER HIDING PLACE
Fugitives Fondly Fancied Themselves
In Security In Most Public Spot
They Could Have Chosen.
Tho father of Joseph Altshelr, the
writer of wnr storios, was a Prus
sian who enmo to UiIb country n
fow years before tho Civil war broko
out, and settled In Barren county,
Kentucky. By renson of IiIb foreign
birth tho elder Altschclor was not
subject to draft by olthor army when
hostilities began, but his southern
sympathies made him obnoxious to
a group of bushwhackers who, posing
as Federals, Infested tho vicinity of
the Kontucky-Tcnnessoo state lino.
Ono starless, moonless rilght In tho
summer of 1883, a neighbor came with
tho word that tho bushwhackers were
on their way to kill Mr. Altsheler nnd
another resident of tho vicinity, who
hnd been outspoken in hlB approval of
secession. It wns not certain, tho
messenger said, which road of two tho
marauders would tnko to reach tho
homes of their proposed victims; but
it was certain that they would bo
along soon.
Mr. Altsholor and the other threat
ened man gathered up a blnnket
apiece and went into the woods to
hide. In the darkness thoy speedily
lost all sense of direction. For an
hour they wandored about, seeking a
suitable camplngplnco. Finally they
came to a spot that was free of trees
and where tho ground felt smooth
under foot. So they spread their
blankets and went to sleep, secure in
tho belief that no bushwhacker could
find them thore.
Tho rising sun, shining In thclt
faces, waked them. They sat up and
looked round. They hnd been asleep
all night at tho only placo whoro tho
raiders could not havo failed to find
thorn, had their plans been cnrrled
out at tho forks of tho county road.
Exchange
First-Born Are the Weakest.
Primogeniture has Just received nn
other hard knock. It is several yours
since Dr W. C. Rivers of London, In
studying tho statistics of a great sana
torium, observed that among con
sumptlvo patients tho first-born pro
vide u larger number of subjects than
nny of tho other children, I'rof. Karl
Pearson nnd Proressors Brehmer and
Hlffel collected n vast mnss of statis
tics In England nnd Germany and fully
confirmed Illver's observation.
Brehmer had been teaching thnt the
first-horn children were the strongest,
but ho proved thnt tho opposlto was
rue. A medical authority states that
mH only tuberculosis but "Insanity and
crlinlnnllty show a preponderating In
cidence among tho eldest children,"
arxl quotes Proressor Pearson's state
ment thnt tho earlier members or n
family are moro likely than tho young
er to Inherit constitutional defects. It
adds that a tendency to coddle, pam
por and Indulge tho first chilct may
account for a port of Us vulnerability
to disease.

Lesson
(By 13. O. RrcLTiElta Director of Kvanlns
lvpnrtmnnt, Th Moody lllblo Initlluta,
ClilcnKu.)
LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 21
THE GOLDEN CALF.
T.KSSON TKXT "i:35:t5-W. W-.t5.
(lOI.DK.V TKXT -".My lltll.i children,
guard yourself from Idoli." I John 6:21.
It la Incredible thnt these Israelites
should turn aside after godti made
with man's hands In thu very midst
of such a demonstration of tho holi
ness, majesty and glory of Jehovah.
Yet In life It Is always but n step from
glory to degradation, and ono of tho
easiest moments In which to trip up
tho saint Is .it tho time of Ills great
i st ecstaclcs. Tho human heart Is
absolutely unreliablo, unstable, nay,
It Is wicked and la desperately de
ceitful, Jor. 17:9, Following tho giv
ing of tho decalogue God gave Moucft
n series of laws nnd ordinances which
aro nu application of that fundamental
law ami which form "tho book of
the covenant." Then tho elders of
lsraol aro called up into thu mountain,
given a vision of God, and given to
eat and drink In his presence, symbol
izing communion (Ex.21). After this
Moses nnd his servant Joshua leavo
Aaron nnd Iltir In charge of tho peo
ple nnd go up again Into tho mountain.
On tho seventh day Moses entered tho
cloud and remained for a period of 10
days during which time ho received
tho pattern of tho tabernacle and the
order of worship. It was during this
period of tlmo that the people sinned.
Tho first part of thin chapter tells
us tho fact of tho canting of tho calf,
vv. 1-6. God's righteous auger and
Moses' prayer of Intercession, vv. 7:14.
Israel's boast, 19:S, 21:3, 7, la now re
vealed as being but titter weakuoss
and Illustrates tho worthlessnesu and
unreliability of human nature. Tho
drunknrd's promised sobriety, tho un
clean man'i) promised purity, alike
mult In the fierce heat of temptation.
Their sin was n direct, posltlvo vio
lation of tho first commandment, and
In It they also broko tho second. They
did not want to substitute hut rather
sought n similitude of God. Aaron
hero appears in a poor light; ho did
not like their proposition (vv. 7, 8),
but did not have strength of character
sufllclont to stand against It. Aaron
is liko thoso in tho church und out of
It who prefer to control a movement
which la bad rather than to combat
thu movement in Its entirety.
Human Fickleness.
Notice Aaron's attempt to link olo
Ideas with this new-fangled religion,
this "modern expression," "tomorrow
Is tho feast of Jehovah," v. G. Men
and women aro todny attomptlug to
gloBs evil teaching nnd open sin by
associating with It tho namo of Christ.
To cull such nu association scientific
is a travesty. Tho fact, however, that
Aaron gavo tho Israelites what thoy
asked for, shows that ho had somo
idea at least of God'B attltudo towards
his people. Wo havo hero presented
also tho fickleness of human gratitude.
.Mobcb Is with God on their bobalt
(Hob. 7:25), yot they forget him and
God who hud performed such mighty
slgnB on their behalf, und demand now
now leadership (v. 1 and Ps. 106:21).
Art htiB a placo In religious llfo, but
u spiritual worship alotio is accuptablo
to God, John 4:24.
It was a sacrifice (tt. 2, 3) of gold
to mako possible this calf which wus
doubtless ix representation of the
Egyptian god Apis and may or may
not havo been life-size, and may havo
been solid or only veneer, but neith
er such earnestness nor sacrifice
saved them.
God's Word Immutable.
Moses' prayer of intercession, tt.
11-14, is wonderful. It centers about
tho Idea that Israel Is "Thy peoplo"
'(v. 11), and that God's word is im
mutable, "Remember," etc. (v. 13).
Moses was moved with pity and bad a
passion for the honor of God's name.
As Moses and Joshua npproached tho
camp thoy heard music, v. 17. What
a commentary upon tho debasing use
of ono of God's noblest gifts to man,
tho gift of music. Reaching tho camp,
they beheld tho fullness of Iniquity
and dopravlty which was tho develop
ment of this dlsobedlcnco, v. 25. Seo
also Rom. 1:21-25, Rom. 6:23, Jaa. 1:15.
Moses' pnsslon also manifested Itself
against their sin by breaking the ta
bles, grinding tho calf to powder and
compelled them to drink tho water
into which it was flung.
In order to completo this story wo
should cull attention (vv. 30-35) how
Mosea returned Into God's presence,
mudo a confession for tho people, truly
taking thu placo of Intercession whon
ho desired to bo blotted out rather
than havo their sin go unforglven. Go
on Into tho noxt chapter, vv. 13, 14,
und read his great heart cry and God's
answer of graco.
The Teaching. We have here a story
of the frailty of human naturo and
tho feebleness of human resolutions.
Wo see in Aaron tho weaknes of a
religious leader who attempts to com
promise or to yield to the clamor of
a mistaken people. Thero Is also pros
out In this lesson tho possibility of
prostituting right things. Tho iBrnol
Itos made a propor request in their de
slro to go forward. Thoy lacked pa
tlonco, and mado tho mlstako of de
siring something that appealed to
their senses. Wo thus seo tho disas
ter of dlsobedlcnco, even though the
end desired bo a good ono.
Now comes tho famous nstronomor
Professor Worthlngton, to support
Professor Lowell's Idoa thnt Mars la
Inhabited by a superior race of be
ings; that they nro far ahead of tho
human race that people tho earth.
They must bo entirely different, for
nil tho physical conditions nro wholly
unllko thoso ou thu earth. Water thero
bolls at 110 degrees, nnd tho at
mosphere Is less dense and both arei
slowly disappearing. This fact, ac
cording to tho evolutionary Idea, will;
cnusn tho physical natures of the peo
ple thero to change or It will soon bu
a dead world. Us destiny Is very In
teresting to us, for what will become
of tho Martian people will become
of us, This whole unlverso started
with iiiliul, Its first objective force
was light; and then ou to every form
of matter. Mars Is going bnck to Its
first estate, and Its dwindling mate
rial forces aro being succeeded by
spirit. The receding nlr and water
have excited their Intelligence- to tho
utmost to provide physical conditions
In harmony with their needs. This
very effort has lifted htotn up to a
higher Intellectual piano. So Mara
teuchoit the doctrine, from matter to
spirit,, and probably, soma day, thi
earth will learn tho lesson.
