WHOSE WIFE?
i The Man and Tho Woman woro In
in a public plnco. Thoy looked Into
each other's eycB and wcro conscious
of a dlfltlnct Benso of recognition, al
though thoy know perfectly woll that
noTor boforo hnd thoy touchod in
passing. Tho Man folt impolled to
take her at onco into hln armo and
hold hor thoro for all tlmo. Thus
thoy stood apart looking into each
other's eyes.
Then the crowd surged and thoy
wero lost to each other.
For many months thereafter Tbto
Man sought The Woman everywhere,
and when at last ho found hor sho
was watching two children at play,
and tho smllo In hor oyes was tho
ort of smllo that has its well-spring
only in a mother's adoring heart. Tho
Alan watched hor unseen and under
stood. A week lator found him in a
distant city, whero, aftor a few
years ho died.
Tho Woman never know what be
came of Tho Man. Sho novor saw
him again after tho day thoy had
looked into each other's oyes and
passed on. Somotlmos sho thought
of him, but moro often sho did not, for
her days woro filled with dutlos to
The Husband, and tho children sho
brought him. Year by year sho lived
at his sldo, mindful of his crcaturo
'comforts; sympathetic In tho hours
of his porploxltlos; proud of his
aohlovcmonts; Interested in tho homo

ho mado him; devoted to tho chil
dren God had given hor, and In all
she was not unhappy, although novor
onco in her companionship with Tho
Husband did sho lift tho veil which
hung bctwoon him and hor soul
that ho might soo into tho sourco of
her bolng.
Tho Husband had boon gono to tho
Land Dchlnd tho Veil for mora than
two yoars boforo tho woman thought
of marrying again. Ho had boon good
to hor, and ho had left hor comfort
ably situated in tho matter of this
world's goods, but she was unutterably
lonely. Their children had becomo
old enough to bo consumed by their
Individual interests and Tho Woman
was desolate.
Thn Second Husband was also a
good man, much on tho typo of tho
Urst, and Tho Woman found horsolf
very fond of hlra when, for tho sako
of companionship, sho had becomo his
wife.
In tho interim of her widowhood
sho had not, howovor, forgotten Tho
JMan. The thought of him alwaya
brought her a peculiar sonso of poaco,
but somehow sho ceased to hopo that
he would in any way cross tho path
of her life again. So sho took up the
threads which tho First Husband's
'death had broken, and wovo thom Into
her now life with tho Second Hus
iband, but as it had been before, sho
igaja nothing of hor soul in tho weav
ing. 7fce bond between thom was
pleasant enough, but it wus of the
earth, earthly.
It often set Tho Woman to think
Inr, espoclally when tho twilight
hours brought their lengthening shad
ows, and a certain senso of crav
ing for one who could walk straight
into tho secret chambers of her soul
and feel nt homo thoro. And somo
tlmos, In retrospective momonts, The
Woman wondorod whoso wifo she
would bo In tho Great Doyond, whero
upon sho turned to tho Nazarcno's as
suranco of tho Sadduccca that "In
tho Anastasls thoy aro as tho Angels
of God In Hcavon. Thoy neither
marry nor aro given In marriage,"
and in her heart sho was glad, for
somehow neither of hor matrimonial
venturos had created within her any
keen deslro for their eternal perpetu
ation, nlthough tho world called hor a.
fortunato woman in tho niatctr of her
mates.
Ono day Tho Woman fell 111. Tho
doctor assured tho Second Husband
that sho would not live, and Th
Woman, hearing, was thrilled with
a sudden sense of hnpplncss.
Sho looked on tho kind, troubled
faco of tho Second Husband and know
au sho looked that sho was fond of
him. Sho had alao boon fond of tho
First Husband. Thoy woro both good
men nnd.truo and no woman could
have companioned them in their re
spective homes without acquiring a
slnccro nffoctlon for either, but Just
tho samo Tho Woman was rather
glad, In a fcoblo Bort of way, that
tuarrlago was all dono with. Sho lay
in hor bed very ill and very tlrod, and
had a clear vision of tho Sndduccos
asking tho Mnstor whoso wlfo tho
woman who had sovon husbands would
bo In tho Anastasls, and sho was in-
wardly smiling rathor contentedly
over tho reply tho Savior had mado
whon sho heard tho doctor nt hor bed
side say to tho Second Husband that
tho sands of hor llfo wcro running
low.
Suddenly sho hucamo conscious of
a prcsonco In hor room othor than her
doctor and hor family, and when sho
lifted hor oyes It was to look, as In
a far gone yeBtorycnr, into tho oyes
of Tho Man, and now, as then, sho
folt hor being suffused with radlanco.
Tho Man stood apart. Ho hold out
his arms to her. Tho Woman, rising
In her spiritual body, wont unswerv
ingly to his sldo, and tho doctor
turned to tho Second Husband and
told him that sho had died, and Tho
Woman hearing, romomborod tho
words of tho Master spoken so many
centuries ngo to tho Sadduccca, nnd
fear followed tho happiness which had
lighted her oyes.
"Ho had roferonco to marriage in
its oarthly sonso," Tho Man answered
hor thought. "No purely physical tlo
Is porpotuat. Only tho spiritual is
otornlty. Death disrupts every union
that is not of tho spirit us well as of
tho body. You have always been my
mato. You always will bo."
"And tho two men I have compan
ioned for a tlmo?" questioned Tho
Woman, anxious for their happiness.
"Somowhero In tho wonderful Unl
vorso of Spirit thoro la tho altar ego
tho complemontal soul for every
one," tho man mado uiiBwor, taking
Tho Woman's hand In his own.
And togothor thoy turned thetr
faces toward Eternity.
What would ba tho result If we all
followed the advice we glvo to others!

NO DOUBT THAT RESINOL ,
DOES STOP ITCHING
It is a fact that tho moment reslnol
ointment touches itching skins, tho
Itching stops and healing begins. With
tho aid of reslnol soap, it almost al
ways clears away all traco of eczema,
Bummor rashos, pimples, or similar tor
monting, unsightly eruption quickly,
leaving tho skin clear and healthy.
And tho best of it is you need never
hesitate to uso reslnol soap and resl
nol ointment. Reslnol Is a doctor's
prescription which for twenty years
has been used by careful physicians
for many kinds of skin affections.
They know that its soothing, healing
action Is brought about by medication
so bland and gcntlo as to bo suited to
tho most dcllcato or irritated skin.
Reslnol ointment and reslnol soap are
sold by all druggists. Adv.

WILL AEROPLANES STOP WAR
Orvllle Wright Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think So,
Anyhow.
Did you ever stop to think that
thoro Is a very definite reason why tho
present war In Kuropo has dragged
nlong for a year with neither sldo
gaining much ndvantago over tho
other? Tho reason, as I llguro It out,
Is aeroplanes, Orvlllo Wright writes
in Collier's. In conscquenco of tho
scouting wqrk done by tho flying ma
chines, each sldo knows exactly what
tho opposition forces aro doing.
Thero is little chanco for ono army
to tako another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un
expected places. The acroplano has
mado that Impossible. It has equal
ized information. Each side has such
complcto knowledge of tho other's
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spccjtacular dashes.
My impression is that boforo the
present war started the army experts
expected it to bo a matter of a few
weeks or, at most, a few months. Today
it looks as if it might run into years
beforo ono sldo can dictate terms.
Now, a nation that may be willing to
undertake a war lasting a few months
may well hesttato about engaging in
ono that will occupy years.
Tho daily cost of a great war Is of
courso stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years tho total is likely to
bo so great that tho side which wins
nevertheless loses. Wnr will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in Hying machines will
bo tho predominating factor, as It
seeniB to me, in bringing this about.
I llko to think so, anyhow.
It has been discovered that our sys
tem of education makes children wiser
than their parents, nut tho children
aro no wiser than their parents wero
at their ago.
It doesn't look as if tho fool killer
will over bo ablo to tako a vacation.
A "friendly interest" Is often but an
other narao for impudent curiosity.

Circumstantial Evidence.
