RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF V MRS. DILL'S SHOP By JOHN JRENT. It wan tbo most fascinating little hop In tho world, tucked uway be tween two big shops on tbu avenue, and crammed from floor to coiling irlth treasures from every country under the sun. One came out of tho sunlight Into a scented gloom of ming led spice and sandalwood, attar of roue and the tang of opium from an cient Chinese treasures. Soft lights slowed from little nooks curtained by precious hangings where ouo could drink a cup of tea that was tea and nibble at Japanese rlco cakes. Mrs. IM11 made heaps of money, so people said, while at the same time she Indulged her hobby for collection. Dear as was this hobby to tho soul of Patricia Dill, It was whispered that thoro was not one article In tho shop that sho would not part with for a ..price provided tho price was high enough. Usually Mrs. IM11 waited upon the Bhop herself, emerging from n tiny Oriental retreat In tho rear, where a very buslness-llko roll top desk set oddly among the Persian rugB and al luring divans that surrounded tho walls. Mrs. Dill was prowling around the world in search of more treasures to add to her shelves and she had In trusted her shop to tho caro of a friend, That was why Alice Kenwlck at at the roll top desk In the Oriental room to como gracefully forward when an Important customer demand ed more export attention than could bo offered by the beady-eyod Japan ese clerk. Today It was all golden sunshine and blue sky outside while within the little shop It was cool and dark and quite sunless. It was very delightful to be surrounded by these treasures of strange countries and to move leis urely to and fro on soft carpetB, or to sip tea prepared by soft-footed Hago but how Alice did long for tho open country and the free wind against her pale cheeks! It was bad enough to spend nine months of the year within tho walls of tho kindergarten where she taught but her mother's recent death mado It Imperative that Alice work through tho vacation period and when Mrs. Dill's offer had been made, Alice had accepted it thankfully and entered upon her duties with much en thusiasm. But It was very lonely without her mother In the little flat and tho mem ory of other dayB crowded heavily up on the Idlo hours in the shop; there had been a time when she had dream ed of love and a home of her own but those dream castles had crashed to earth with Raymond Borden's depart ure for tho far east. True, they had disagreed over something that seem ed trifling enough now but then it bad been great enough to mako a change in both lives. Alice had put away her half-completed trouseau and taken up klndcrgartenlng and Raymond had ac cepted an offer to go to Shanghai as resident representative of a Now York Importer. "It is surprising what a difference Ave years makes in one's life," sighed Alice on this particular morning. She was in tho private room, looking very charming In her soft gown of white with a Jet necklaco at her throat She was very fair and slender and the golden hair grew In the most alluring way about her forehead and neck. The littlo chlmo of bolls pealed In the outer shop and Alice knew that a customer had entered. Hago had gono out to dellvor somo parcels and Allco went out to meet the customer. He was a tall man, so tall that he stooped a littlo to avoid the swing ing lanterns overhead. When ho saw Alice ho removed his Btraw hat and spoke In a pleasant, rather deep voice. "I was advised to seo Mrs. Dill," he said; "I am looking for a duplicate of Mr, Dunham's Ivory vase. He has told me that Mrs. Dill had an exact du plicate." "Why, yeB," hesitated Allco for the Ivory vase waB one of tho treasures locked away In the safe In the retreat. "Would you llko to look at It?" "If you please. I have been author ized to buy It, if possible," said tho Btranger. When Allco went away down the dim vista of the shop ho looked after her In a puzzled way but tho place was rather dark and ho waB near sighted and ono makes so many mis takes In Identities and' ho had been de ceived so many tlmeB by pale, fair haired women who looked llko But sho was returning now with tho Bmall vase of delicately carved ivory lying snugly in its sllk-llned lacquer box. Alice laid the box on a teakwood ta ble and lighted tho softly tinted lan tern overhead, drawing It down by sil ver chains until It hung low over the lacquer box. Her face was In shadow abovo the lantern as she unlocked the box with a golden key and lifted the lid. Faint odors drifted from the box as If In Borne older tlmo the precious lit tlo vase had held sweet flowers whose fragranco still clung to the exqulslto thing of yellow-tinted Ivory and fairy like carving. The stranger hold it in strong, bronzed fingers nnd looked at It. "It Is wonderful," he breathed sharp ly. "Beautiful," agreed Alice. Again tho sllenco fell between them md Alice lifting her eyes for one brief instant met n pair of dark eyes in the shadow abovo the lantern. There was no recognition between them. If thero was question In tho man's eyes there was no answer in the girl's. Torror terror of what 7 ht.i her cold and rigid. Their glancon dropped. "Have you heard the story of the Ivory vase?" nsked tho stranger In an ordinary tone of volco. "No, only thnt Mrs. 1)111 found It after a long search In a monastery near Quelling," said Allre evenly. "And Mr. Dunham's vnso came from a nunnery In North China," said the stranger In a musing tone. "Perhaps you would like to hear the story of how the Ivory vases came to bo made?" "I would," said Allco. "Will you not Bit down?" "Thank you no the story cannot be very long," "Well, several hundred years ago there lived III the North of China a very beautiful maiden who was deeply loved by a carver of Ivory Thoy were to bo married for, strango to relate, their parentH had chosen that they should wed each other and no thero was nothing to cloud their happiness. "One day they quarreled It was about tho details of the wedding feaet or tho color of the bridegroom's robe or something equally trilling, no doubt; but they quarreled and the carver In Ivory went far away, to Quelling In fact, and became a monk. The girl became a nun and entered a convent not far from Peking. "Years passed, and during these yoars both the nun and the girl re pented and grieved for each other. Killed with sorrow and remorse tho monk took to his craft again and carved many beautiful articles that wont forth Into the world and made tho monastery famous. In his spare tlmo he engaged upon a task that oc cupied every moment nnd it took flvo years to complete the task. He carved the first of the Ivory vases. And In to the carving ho wrought the story of his love and broken romance. When he had finished one vase he took an other beautiful piece of ivory und spent Ave yeani fashioning another ono exactly like It, and this second ono he wrapped in a piece of silk upon which he hnd written a poem, and he placed it In a box and sent it by a private messenger to that far away nunnery In the north of China, to tell his sweetheart that love still lived within his heart In spite of hlB retire ment from tho world. "Tho second vase ho kept ever be fore him In his cell and when ho died It was held as a wonderful examplo of his art and occupied for centuries an honored place among the treasures of the monastery. "Tho girl's vase was treasured In tho same way and waB known as the 'nun's vase.' Down through tho years theso vases havo come perhaps to teach a lesson In forgiveness to show that love outlives death may 1 trans late the meaning of the carving to you?" he asked gently. "Please," whispered Alice. She watched his fingers as the) passed over tho delicate carving of the ivory, pointing here and there as he spoke: "Here are the lovers preparing for their marriage see the exquisite flow ere he is sending to her? Here are her parents and oven tho aged grand mother and all are smiling and happy. Next the lovers In altercation they turn their backs and each go a differ ent way. See the woman weeps and the man takes a pack on his shoulder and Journeys ovor mountains and streams. Each is in search of forget fulness. Each one enters a house of silence they are so far apart, the nun uery and tho monastery. Behold their anguish after the Irrevocable step has been taken! But the man forgives and labors to perfect the vases so as to tell hlB Bweethcart that lovers' quar rels aro pitiful mistakes that can ruin lives and ah!" Raymond Borden stopped short. He never finished the story, for Allco waB sobbing softly on tho oth er Bide of tho tabic and It waB neces sary for him to come around and take her In his arms and comfort her; for what was tho use of tolling her the story so like their own If he could not kiss awny her tears and convlnco her that It was not too late for them to be happy? Tho Ivory vase lay neglected on the table, but It had served tho purpose of telMlONAL SBNMTSCIIOOL Lesson Tty R. O.

It appears that tho theosophlsts aro conducting a development from the Aryan raco which will result In tho perfect man, and that man will bo the Messiah. Three young men uro undergoing an exalted training, all of whom aro expected to bo fa vored with a finer nervous organiza tion and a hlghor spiritual perception. The three young men referred to have been selected from a long strain of Aryan ancestors, who havo been living fine lives physically and spirit ually, and the one selected from the three Is expected to be tho very flow er of humanity. This Is a most interesting experi ment, and the result will be closely watched, not perhaps for Its religious bearings, but to see to what state of perfection a man may be physically and psychically trained. Thero Is a theory, and woll founded, too, that a man may bo grown Into a perfect be ing like a rose, a poach, or a water melon, If he HveB In perfect harmony with all God's laws, as they do. Wo think the theosophists aro do ing a good work In bringing this Idea to trial. It Is certainly tho grandest aim to seo how exalted a human be ing may become by strictly obeying God'B laws. If thero Is a MesBlah still to come, that Is tho way he would come. Ohio State Journal.

Miriam's Leadership. I. The Accusation, vv. 1, 2. Till Is not tho flrst nor tho last tlmo a mnrrlago has caused a family quarrel. Who this Ethiopian woman wuh wo nro not told, though we aro Inclined to bellcvo that It was Zlpporah (Ex. 2:21), and not a second wlfo whom Moses married recently. Of all peo ple wo would lenst expect Jealousy to show itsolf In this family circle, among theso tho chosen leaders of Israel. Nothing so hinders tho work of God, ,or gives moro delight to tho devil, than just such a situation as this one. It brings confusion nnd de lay (v. 15). The occasion was not, however, so much the wlfo of Moses as It waB envy of Moses (Seo Luko 22:24-20; I Cor. 1:11-15, and 3 John 9, 10). It may havo been that Moses was culpable, for no mnn Is perfect (Rom. 3:23), but Miriam nnd Aaron woro not his Judges. Wo must ro member In this connection last Sun day's lesson wherein we had present ed such a radical chango In tho form of government. Miriam and Aaron wero desirous of having an equal placo with Moses and becauso he did a thing they could not understand they criticised him (Rom. 14.3, 4; Judo 8). II. The Arrest, vv. 4, 5. "Tho Lord heard It" (v. 2, 1 c.) God hears what wo say in criticism of those whom ho has set over us. Instead of being jealous of tho preference accorded to others wo ought to rcjolco (Phil. 2:3). Though we aro free to admit such a courso often proves tho measure of his grace in our hearts. God did not lot this matter stand nor run the courso of Idlo gossip. Ho at once, and In person, came down to cham pion tho causo of Moses (v. 6, se also 16:20, 21). He Saw Jehovah. III. The Arraignment, vv. 6-8. Jo Sovah pointed out very clearly not only tho differenco between them and Moses, but also between Moses nnd all other prophets. Thoy wero proph ets, so was Moses, and moro. To tho prophets God revealed himself in visions (seo Ezek. 1:1, Isa. 6:1, Dan. 8:2, Luke 1:11), and many other simi lar instances, but with Moses God spake "mouth 'to mouth oven mani festly," that Is, others heard' God's volco speaking audibly to Moses (Ex 19:19 and 33:11). This volco was clear nnd distinct, It did not demand any Interpretation. Verso 8 docs not Imply that Moses had a full revela tion of tho person of Jehovah, but ho did havo a visible manifestation of tho Blmilltudo ("form" It. V.) of God (John 1:18). IV. Judgment, vv. 9, 10. Tho de parting cloud from off tho tabernacle was a token of God's displeasure. Let us npt forget thnt futuro tlmo when It will bo others who will depart (Matt. 25:41). Tho lifted cloud re vealed to Aaron Miriam Binltton with leprosy, that most torrlblo of nil dis eases, loathsome, contagious, Incur able. Read the stories of Naaman and Uzziah. Aaron's 8ln. V. Intercession, vv. 11-16. Aaron In his appeal to Moses acknowledges his equal transgression with Miriam, his fooIlshnesB and his Bin, and in turn Moses roveuled his noblo Christ like character. Christ prayed for his enemies (Luko 23-34). Moses was not overcomo of evil but overcatno evil with good atom. 12:12). Ills prayer was an effectual ono (James 5:16), Somo havo viewed this epi sode in a typical light. Moses repre senting Christ Is rejected by his own people; tho Ethiopian brldo as tho church, chiefly Gentiles; Aaron nnd Miriam as Jews opposed to any such union; tho leprosy as dlvlno Judg ment upon tho Jews who are inter ceded for by thoBQ whom they oppose; tho Christian church; Miriam shut out of the camp, tho period of Is rael's rejection after which period sho will be restored to her land and her God In Christ Jesus. This lesson is a great teaching of tho Jealousy of Jehovah for thoso upon whom ho confers honor. Wo servo him by his appointment and he will defend us. Wo should think highly of any sorvlco to which ho calls us and say with Paul, "I magnify mlno office." God will not hold those guiltless who call In question tho wisdom of his appointments or tho rights of his appointees who do his work. Miriam and Aaron broko tho tenth commandment by coveting au thority. Let ub bowaro of thin form of sin. Such envy Is not only a lack of love for man but also of God. after a "Dnnderlne hull demise."
