On a lounge an elegantly dressed woman was sitting, reading a novel "La, child!” she cried, “come here and give me a ki33. So you wear that sweet-fancied suit again. Is that the Dutch style, then, child? It must be extremely charming. La, here comes Richard! He is going to ask you to take a sail on the river; and I shall lend you my new green parasol. 1 do believe it is the only one in the coun try.” “I came to sit with you, and work with my worsteds. Perhaps my moth er—might not like we to go on the river with—any om,” But Katherine had no time to de fend herself; for, with liis cavalry cap In his hand and a low bow, Capt. Hyde entered the room. In a few minutes afterward she was going down the terrace steps with him; and he was looking into her face with shin ing eyes, and whispering the common est words in such an enchanting man ner that it seemed to her as if her feet scarcely touched the low, white steps, and she was some sort of glorified Katherine Van Heeinskirk, who never, never, never could be unhappy again. They did not go on the river. Capt. Hyde did not want a third party near, In any capacity. The lower steps were shaded by great water beeches, and the turf under them was green and warm. A sweeter hour, a lovelier maid, man could never hope to find; and Capt. Hyde was not one to neglect bis opportunity. "Let us stay here, my beloved,” ho whispered. "I have something sweet to tell you. Upon mine honor, I can keep my secret r.o longer.” The innocent child! Who could blame her for listening to it?—at first with a little fear ami a little reluct ance, but gradually resigning her whole heart to (he charm of his soft syllables and bis fervent manner, un til she gave him the promise ho begged for- loro that was to be for him alone, love for him alono among all the sons of men. What an enchanted afternoon it was! how all too quickly it fled away, cne golden moment after another! In a few minutes Joanna and the elder came In. He had called for her on his way home; for he liked the society of the young and beautiful, and there were many hours in which he thought Joanna fairer than her sister. Then tea was served in a pretty parlor with Turkish walls and colored win dows, which, being open into the gar den, framed lovely living pictures of blossoming trees. Every one was eat ing and drinking, laughing and talk ing; so Katherine’s unusual 6ilence was unnoticed, except by the elder, who indeed saw and heard everything, and who knew what he did not see and hear by that kind of prescience to which wise and observant years at tain. Joanna was talking to Neil Semple in the recess of a window; but Neil's face was white with suppressed anger, and, though lie seemed to be listening to her, his eyes—full of passion—were fixed upon Hyde. Perhaps the young s pc’., ler was conscious of It; for he oc casionally addressed some trivial re mark to him, as If to prevent Neil ‘J losing sight of the advantages he had jg over him. “The vera Eir o’ this room is gun s'.' powdery,” thought the elder; “and ane or the other will be flinging a spark o’ passion into It .and then the dell will be to pay. I'll e’en tak' the lasses hame myscl'; and I’ll speak to Juris for his daughter—as good now as any other time.” Then he said in his blandest tones, “Joanna, my dearie, you’ll hae to tell Neil the rest o' your tale the morn; and, Katherine, put av,a' now that bit o' busy idleness, and don your hoods and mantles, baith o’ you. I’m going to ta' you hame, and I dlnna want to get my deathe wl’ the river mist.” "Pray, sir,” said Ilyde. “consider me nt your service. 1 have occasion to go into town at once, and will do your duty to the young ladies with infinite pleasure.” "Much obliged, captain, vera much obliged; but it tak’s an auld wise headed, wise-hearted man like mysel’ to walk safely atween two bounie lasses.’ While he was speaking, Neil left the room. He was glad to escape from a position which he felt to be both pain ful and humiliating. He was in a measure Cart. Hyde's host, and sub ject to traditions regarding the du ties of that character; any display of ongo* would be derogatory to him. and yet how difficult was restraint! f,c .is father's interference was a welcome ore; and he was reconciled to hist own disappointment, when, looking back he say the old gentleman slowly taking the road to Van Heems kirk's, with the pretty girls in their quilted red hoods, one on each side of him. The elder was very polite to his charges; but he noticed that Kather ine was silent and disappointed, and that she lingered in her own room after her arrival at homo. Her subse quent pretty cheerfulness, her delight in her lilies, her confiding claims upon her father’s love—nothing in these things deceived him. He saw beneath all the fluttering young heart, trem bling, and yet happy in the new, sweet feeling, never felt, before, which had come to it that afternoon. But he thought most girls had to have this initiative; it prepared the way for a soberer and more lasting affection. In the end Katherine would perceive how imprudent, how impos sible a marriage with Capt, Hyde must be; and her heart would turn back to Neil, who had been her lover from boyhood. Yet, he reflected, it would be well to have the matter under stood, and to give it that “possibility” which is best attained on a money basis. So, wlill3 he and the Van Heems kirks discussed the matter—a little reluctantly, he thought, on their part— Katherine talked with Joanna of the Gordons. Joanna had r.ot a suspicion of the joy ami danger that had come to the dear little one at her side. She was laughing softly with her, even while the fearful father stood at the closed door, and lifted up his tender soul In that pathetic petition, “Ach, mijn kind! mijn kind! mijn liefste kind! Almighty God preserve thee from all sin and sorrow!” CHAPTER II. Oranjs Boven. "Well, well, to-day goes to Its fore fathers, like all the rest; and, as for what comes after it, everything is in the love and counsel of the Almighty One.” This was Joris Van Heemsklrk's last thought ere he fell asleep that night, after Elder Semple's cautious disclo sure and proposition. In his calm, methodical, domestic life, it had been an “eventful day.” We say the words often and unreflectingly; seldom paus ing to consider that such days are the results which months, years, per chance centuries, have made possible. Thus, a long course of reckless living and reckless gambling, and the conse quent urgent need of ready money, had made Capt. Hyde turn his thoughts to the pretty daughter of the rich Dutch merchant. “She is a homespun little thing,” laughed the colonel’s fashionable wife, “and quite unfit to go among people of our condition. But she adores you, Dick; and she will be passably happy with a house to manage, and a visit from you w'hen you can spare the time.” It was In this mood that Katherine and her probable fortune had been dis cussed: and thus she was but one of the events, springing from lives an terior to her own and very different from it. Also, in her father's case, the mo tives influencing his decision stretched backward through many generations. None the less was tlielr influence po tent to move him. In fact, he forgot entirely to reflect how a marriage be tween his child and Capt. Hyde would be regarded at that day; his first thoughts had been precisely such thoughts as would have occurred to a Van Heomskirk, living two hundred years before him. Joris’ age was not an age inclined to analysis, and he was still less In clined to it from a personal stand point. Kor ho was a man of few, but positive ideas; yet these ideas, having once commended themselves to his faith or his intelligence, were em biaood with all his soul. Semple’s communication regarding Capt. Hyde and his daughter had aroused in him certain feelings, and led him to cer tain decisions. He went to sleep, sat isfied with their propriety and justice. He awoke in precisely the same mood. Then he dressed and went into his garden. It was customary for Kath erine to join him there; and he fre quently turned, as he went dow’n the path, to see if she were coming. But this morning she did not come. He walked alone to his lily bed; hut his face brightened when he heard her calling him to breakfast and very soon he saw her leaning over the half door, shading her eyes with both hands, the better to watch his ap proach. Lysbet was already in her place; so was Joanna, and also Bram. Joris and Bram discussed the business of the day; Katherine was full of her visit to 8<?mpTe house the preceding evening. Dinorah was no restraint The slaves Joris owned, like those of Abraham, were born or brought up In his own household. And yet, this morning, Joris waited until Lysbet dismissed her handmaid, before he said the words he had de termined to speak ere he began the work of the day. Then he put down his cup with an emphasis which made all eyes turn to him, and said: “Katryntje, my daughter, call not to-day, nor call not any day, until I tell you different, at Madame Sem plo’s. The people who go and come there, I like them not. They will be no good to you—Lysbet, what say you in this matter?” “What you say, I say, Joris. The father is to be obeyed. When he will r.ot, the children can not.’ Katherine had drawn her chair close to her father’s and taken his big hand between her own and was stroking and petting it; then as she answered she leaned her head upon his breast. “Father, I like to see the English lady; and she is teaching me the new stitch.” "Schoone Lammetje! There are many oilier things far better for thee to learn. In these things the best of all good teachers is thy mother.’ “1 can <io these things also, father. The lady loves me and will be unhappy not to see me.” "Then, let her come here and see thee. That will be the proper thing. Why not? Always honor thyself, as well as others. That is the Dutch way; that is the right way. Mind what I tell thee.” His voice had gradually grown sterner, and he gently withdrew his hand from her clasp, and rose as a man pressed with affairs. When he had left the room Lysbet instantly began to order the wants of the house. Katherine still sat at the table; her eye3 were cast down, and she was arranging—without a con sciousness of doing so—her bread crumbs upon her Delft plate. Roused from her revery she comprehended ir a moment how decisive her father's orders were intended to be. Yet in this matter she was so deeply inter ested that she instinctively made an appeal against them. “Mother, ray mother, shall I not go once more to see Madam Gordon? So kind she has been to me! She will say I am ungrateful, that I am rude, and know not good manners. Yes, mother, I may go once. A young girl does not like to be thought ungrateful and rude.” “More than that, Katherine; a young girl should not like to disobey a good father. You make me to feel aston ished and sorry. Here is the key of the best parlor; go now and wash carefully the fine china-ware.” So Lysbet turned and left the room. She did not notice the rebellious look on her daughter’s face, the lowering brows, the resentment in the glance that followed her, the lips firmly set to the mental purpose. “To see het lover at all risks”—that was the pur pose; but how best to accomplish It was not clear to her. She lifted the key given her and went to the parlcr. It was a large, low room, with wainscoted walls, and a big tiled fireplace nearly filling it. The blinds were closed, but there was enough light to reveal its quaint and almost foreign character. The oval tables were full of curious bits of china, dainty oriental wicker-work, ex quisite shells on lacquered trays, won derfully wrought workboxes and fans and amulets. As she moved about among the strange carven toys and beautiful ornaments, she couold think only of him—of his stately manner and dark, handsome face. She re called every word he said to her as they sat under the water beeches. More vividly still she recalled the ten der light in his eyes, the lingering clasp of his hand, his low, persuasive voice, and that nameless charm of fashion and culture which perhaps Im pressed her more than any other thing. Among the articles she had to dust was a square Indian box with drawers. It had always been called “the writing box,’’ and it was partly filled wii’h pa per and other materials for letter writing. She stood before the open lid thoughtfully, and a sudden over whelming desire to send some mes sage of apology to Mrs. Gordon came into her heart. She could write pretty well and she had seen her mother and Joanna fold and seal letters; and, al though she was totally Inexperienced in the matter, she determined to make the effort. All difficulties were overcome, one by one; and the following note in trusted to the care of Diedrich Becker, the old man who worked in the garden and milked tho cows: “To Mistress Col. Gordon— “Honored Madam: My father for bids that I come to see you. Ho thinks you should upon my mother call. That you will judge me to be rude and un grateful, I fear very much. But that Is not true. I am happy, indeed. 1 think all the day of you. “Your obedient servant, “Katherine Van Heemskirk.” (To be continued.) A Dally Change. Richard P. White is credited with a etory of personal experience while traveling through the north of Ire land, his birthplace, many years ago. He sat at the writing desk of his hotel, where he was a guest, to prepare some letters. When be was about to use the blotter he noticed that it was clean, apart from a single and very ^ clear impression, which, when held r up to a mirror and read as reflected, proved to be a bill for washing for a month. The items entered were on® ehirt and thirty-one collars. Recommended Firmness. A very matter-of-fact old gentleman the other day called to see a neigh bor, an old Irishwoman, who had been ailing for some Ume, when the follow ing conversation took place at the door: "And how do you find yourself to-day. Bridget?" "Sure, your honor. I’m mighty bad. This shocking weather’ll be the end of me; I’ll bo a dead woman before long.” “Hoots, toots, woman! you’ve been saying that for the last twenty years! I’ll tell ye i what It is, ye want firmness o' mind, j Fin a day for deeing and stick to it." Woman Suffrage Advocate. Miss Anna Hvosley of Christian'*, Norway, is now in this country.

Golden Text—‘‘Be Kindly Affectioned One to Another”—Romans 12:10— Lessons to Be Learned from the Story of Ruth. Scene I. The Emigrants.—Ruth 1:1-6. Some time during the period of the Judges, under Gideon or later, there arose a famine In Judea which lasted in some degree for several years. At this time there lived a family at Bethlehem consisting of Elimeleeh. his wife Naomi, and two sons, whose names indlcato feeble health. Finding it dleult to obtain a living on the hone- farm on uccount of the famine, and perhaps afraid of the roving bands of the Invaders, the family determined to emigrate to some safer arid n.ore fruitful region, even though It would compel them to bring up their chil dren amid heathen surroundings. They went across the Jordan, turned to tlie south along the eastern shores of the Dead Sea, and settled among the rich fields of the Moabites, in the course of ten years the sons married Moabitlsh wtimeii, Uiilh and orpah; and both sons and Elimeleeh, their father, died in the land of Moab, leaving the three women widows. The widow Naomi, poor, In distress, among strangers became homesick for her native land, her kindred, the peoplo of God, and the religious aids and con solations of her youth. The famine was over. One of the periods or revival and prosperity was shedding its benediction over the land from which she came, and she resolved to return. Scene II. The Parting. Huth’s Choice.— Vs. 6-18. The two widowed daughters-in law, Orpah and Huth (“the Hose of! Moab”). went part of the way to see Naomi off. When the time came to part, when they had kissed each other and wept together, they both declared they would not return, but would go with her to Israel. lfi. "And Ruth said." Ruth's passionate I burst of tenderness is immortal. Like ‘ David's lament over Jonathan, these words have sunk deep Into the human heart. "Intreat me not to leave thee," for the very reason that she is old and poor and childless. Their hearts are knit together like the souls of David and Jonathan. "Whither thou goest, I will go." “Compare the very similar entreat ies of Elijah, and the steadfast deter mination of Elisha not to leave him (2 Kings 2:2-6). In Elisha's case, ns In Ruth’s, the reward of steadfast persist ence was very great."—Cook. "Thy peo ple shall be my people," even though sho went apparently to lifelong poverty among strangers. 17. "The Lord do so to me.” calling upon herself the severest punishment if j she should break her promise. Ruth's j use of the name of Jehovah shows that she was already a believer. IS. "Was steadfastly minded” in ma king herself firm to go with her.—Beech er. "She left speaking unto her." She had wanted her to go with her, but It seemed selfish to permit her. But sho yielded at last to Ruth's steadfast de termination. III. Th« Emigrant's Return and Wel come.—Vs. 19-22. 19. "They two . . . came to Bethlehem,” the early home of Naomi, where she had a small estate (Ruth 4:3). "All the city,” a small walled village (Micah 5:2). "was moved.” ex cited and Interested, "about them." She had belonged to a prominent family, and as probably little or nothing had been hoard from her for ten years, her re turn was a glad surprise. "And they" t feminine), the women of Bethlehem, "said. Is this Naomi?" Can this lonely, traveled-stained woman be the Naomi who went away so happily ten years ago? 20. “Call me not Naomi," "lovable,” "pleasant." The name once belonged to mo. "Call me Mara,” "bitter” (Ex. 15:23), for this bettor expresses my condition. "For the Almighty hath dealt very bit terly with mo." My life is In his hands. He has given me this bitter medicine for my soul. "The Lord gave, and the Lord bath taken away; blessed he the name of the Lord." 21. ||The Lord hath testified against me" that my going Into a heathen land for a better living was a sin. 2?. "In the beginning of barley har yst." usually about the middle of April. This fact was an essential circumstance In Ruth’s future life. IV. The Reward.—The rest of the book lolls In a delightful way the story of the effect upon her life of self-denying love to her mother-in-law, and to her God. Still, we are to be careful not to con found outward rewards with the real re ward of virtue. Virtue contains In Itself, in the approval of God, In peace of con science. In spiritual life and character, in helpfulness and service, Its best reward. And yet the reward is not perfect without outward conditions to match the Inward grace. So it shall be In heaven. IjeSSOriH iruill UIC oumj ui «uiu. ». Here Is a beautiful example of God’s providential cure over private affairs of an humble family. God Is "no respecter of persons.” Often from the humblest homes spring persons who influence the destiny of nations. 2. All this passionate utterance of Ruth Is a -perfect type of what every one who becomes a Christian says to Christ and Ills church. He chooses them for better or for worse, In prosperity and in af fliction. A11 he has and all he hopes for Is joined with them. He will suffer with them, rejoice with them, work with them, worship with them and at lust abide forever with them In heaven. 3. A large part of the opposition to our serving the Lord, whether It arise from friends or enemies, will cease when It becomes manifest that we are In vincibly determined on our course. 4. Choices between good and evil, ever, in small things, ure the most important acts of our lives. They ure the creative acts of the soul. Often these fateful rises come in our lives in connection with de cisions. of the Importance of which we do not dream. We know what is right, we do not know the far-reaching effects. 5. “Ruth's choice cost her something,— separation from her kindred, the sacri fice of her prospects of marriage, ex patriation, poverty, and the consciousness that the course she was taking was un usual. und would cause remark. 6. “But Kuth’s choice teaches us that true love is supremely desirous of the beloved presence. That Is true about hu man love, and it is true about heavenly. 7. Through doing her humble daily du ties faithfully for the support of her mother and herself. Ruth found her re ward in her character and destiny. Miracles of Our Lord. We believe tlxere is a very great difficulty about the question of the relation of inirac't* tff the ?)ivtne VWrd and how far ♦»»» proved the Ir.vine Word. I am a thorough believ er in miracles, but I want you to note how our Lord wrought many miracles, but rebuked those who sought him for miracles only. It is the Word, and its power to give life to the soul, that is the miracle. It is by the in herent potency and divine proof which that Word carried that the heart of man was comforted. (i PROPOSE TO BEAT NATURE. Diamond of Powerful Ray Will Soon Be Made by Niagara’s Power. The manufacture of artificial dia monds has long been regarded as an impossibility. A score of men learned In chemistry and skilled as lapidaries have spent years in a fruitless endeav or to equal the product of nature in this direction. Now, howsver. the prospect of the manufact tr« of dia monds by scientific means is consid ered so likely as to be predicted in a government report. T. O. Martin, an expert special agent of the census office, has written a long and very in teresting report on the electrical in dustries of the United States, in which he incidentally refers to the attempts that have been made to produce dia monds artificially. He recalls the fact that Moissan, the Frenchman, pushed the employment of the electric arc so far as to produce minute frag mentary diamonds in his furnaces. Moissan also noted the production of graphite from a diamond heated in the arc. and from the similar treatment of sugar charcoal purified by chlorine and of purified wood charcoal. “In fact,” says Mr. Martin, “it was due to his investigation In this field that he was led to his celebrated ob sorvation on the formation of dia monds by the sudden cooling in mer cury or lead of molten iron saturated with carbon. Out of all such work it was but natural that fanciful specula tions should arise as to the possibility of establishing factories for the regu lar manufacture of genuine diamonds at Niagara Falls, where the cheap current and other essentials would be available, but nothing has resulted within the period under consideration from these plausible and sanguine iheories. The fact remains, however, Lhat in our modern electrical furnaces liamond dust has been produced, and the steps leading to the manufacture of larger crystals will be but sequen tial." LUXURY AS A HANDICAP. Majority of Successful Men Have Risen from Indigence. The history of our country is a rec ard of the successes of poor boys who seemed to be hopelessly shut off from books, culture and education, except that of the most meager kind—from almost every opportunity for mental development. The youthful Lincolns, Franklins, Haiuiltons, Garflelds, Grants and Clays—those who become presidents, lawyers, statesmen, sol diers, orators, merchants, educators, journalists, inventors—giants in every department of life—how they stand aut from the pages of history, those poor boys, an inspiration for all time to those who are born to fight their way up to their own loaf. The youth who is reared in a lux urious home, who, from the moment of his birth, is waited on by an army of servants, pampered and indulged uy over-fond parents and deprived of every Incentive to develop himself mentally or physically, although com monly regarded as one to be envied. Is more to be pitied than the poorest, most humbly born boy or girl in the land. Unless he Is gifted with an un usual mind he is in danger of becom ing a degenerate, a parasite, a crea ture who lives on the labor of others, whose powers ultimately atrophy from disuse.—O. S. Maiden in Success. Tonics for Tired Women. With each year woman is busier, hence the growth of the ‘•pick-me-up” aabit, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. With the increase of their duties, so cial and otherwise, comes the neces sity for something to brace up tired eervcs and enable the “weaker ves sels” always to face the world with a -mlling, happy face. A nip of cognac, a glass of Benedic tine, or the “tiniest drop” of green Chartreuse produces remarkable ef fects the first time used. The result is the “pick-me-up” soon becomes an iudispensable part ot the day's pro gram. To such an extent has the custom grown that fashionable modistes keep a bottle and a dainty glass in a sequestered spot, and obligingly come forward with a “drop” of something to win the gratitude of the patron and insure her return. X-Rays as Germ Killers. A German sicentist reports a con tinuation of experiments begun in 1898 relative to bactericidal power of Roentgen rays. The power of the Roentgen rays to kill germs was tested against the cholera spirillum, the ba cillus prodlglopus and the colon bacil lus. The micro-organisms were Inocu lated into gelatin and exposed to the action of the rays. After twenty to thirty minutes continues exposure to the rays many of the bacteria were killed, and multiplication ceased In nearly all. In every series of experi ments, however, a few of the individ ual bacteria were not affected. Protest. Better the poet'e Alpine snows. Than deadly deserts of repose; Better the martyr's fiery hour Than Buddha on the lotus flower. It Is the level road that kills; The secrets of the heavenward hills Are ethics of an endless quest, A.nd the novitiate Is unrest. The opiate vapors of the plain— The clogging marshes—leave their staler; Oh. that we might take wings and flea Where sky-born winds blow healthfully. Oh, for the glorious lack of guile That leaves the crowd to fawn and smile, The level road with all Its Ills i’or the fine freedom cf the hills. — Enviousness That Is Pardonable.

The X-ray is being used in dentistry with considerable success. It some-, times happens that the permanent or1 •‘second” teeth are not properly cut. The mouth is thus disfigured by tha loss of the first set of teeth and the non-appearance of the second teeth. With the X-ray the dentist can deter mine whether the second tooth is in, the gum, and if so, why it has not ap peared. The obstruction is removed, a passage openea and the tooth works gradually down to its place. ■ ■■ ■■■■ ' - — I Mrs. Hlldebrandt’* Discovery. Lake Sarah, Minn., Nov. 24th.—Mrs. Hlldebrandt of this place claims to have discovered a complete cure for Rheumatism and numerous people can testify that as Mrs. Hlldebrandt had the terrible affliction and is now a well woman, she appears to havo good grounds for her claim. Mrs. Hlldebrandt speaks of her cure as fol lows : “I had the Rheumatism in my arms so bad that I could not sleep at night. I was Induced to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills and before I had taken two boxes 1 was much better. When I had taken four boxes 1 was completely cured.” It is only fair to state that others have made the same discovery as Mrs. Hlldebrandt and that for Rheu matism and other diseases arising from the Kidneys, Dodd’s Kidney Pills are recognized as the one sure and permanent cure.
