which mm arc computing the coat to the

In the acquisition
of higher Ideals, In
the broader rap
upon the doctrine
of the brotherhood

In a deeper ex

of Bold.
The soul is that half-asleep Vlnd of
thin that rannot be aroused Into full
wakefulness except by being startled Into
It. We read In the Hebrew scriptures
that l -e only after Moses had wit
nessed the strange seen of the burning
bush that he felt equal to becoming the
emancipator of the children of Israel.
So In the newer scriptures Is the story
of the war In which Paul was fitted to
become the chief apostle of the ohurch
by the dasxllng experience of the great
light whlcJi he encountered on his war
to Damascus.
There is enough In any man to make
of him a prophet and a master of events
If only he be overtaken by some Influ
ence penetrating enough to reach Inward
to the hidden spot where are closeted his
possibilities.
That la the philosophy of the present In
tellectual and moral and religious condi
tion of the world. It has been stirred
out of Its sleep and will be still more
thoroughly aroused than It Is now by
what the coming months have In store
for ui. Unsettled conditions make men
aearch for more stable foundations. An
English writer has recently made the
- statement that Rngllsh publishers are
now Issuing only 00 per cent of tho usual
amount of novels, and explains It by say
ing that the appetite of the reading pub
lic Is for literature that deals with what
Is real rather than with th fMJtous.
.All of which Is a symptom of the deep
ening of the popular consciousness.
The same Influence Is also affecting
the world religiously. Every Quality sug
gests Its opposite. If beauty render de
. formlty more repulsive, so deformity Im
parts a new charm to beauty, and th
very horror of th times, th flendlsh-
ness of them. Is Itself suggestive of it
opposite, and creates a longing and a
passion for "whatsoever things are hon
est. Just, pure, lovely and of good re
port." And th lesson Is being burned In
In a way unparalleled In our history.
Both here and abroad are evidenced
the preliminary symptoms of a quick
ened religious life. Peoria are praying
even while they are killing. It seems a
monstrous Incongruity, but on needs not
to be a great psychollglst to understand
how that can be. Men's souls are roomy
and ran contain Incompatible passions
without danger of mutual Interference.-

At th moment that Blye mat June,
Ned Warner was aprtnrtiig up the stairs,

It ws thus that Ned Warner bad, after
all hi weary pursuit, found hi bride
In the presence of Ollbert Illy.
Beyond th door th dark, handsom

sat In a chair, and In tils hands waa
money. He rose aa Juno was led up to
him. and into her hands he thrust the
money. Then he smiled at her, whlU
tillbert Bly stepped Deck, suavely amil
me and stroking his black Vandyke with
his long, lean, white finger.
June sprang from the fat hand which
were about to be clasped upon her shoul
der and from that wide, thick ami!
upon th face of th heavy man and,
laughing nervously turned to Gilbert
Bly, who bent his dark, handsom head
abov her and spoke to her In hi low
voice.
Crash!
The door splintered and saw way, and
through It burst th wild eyed Ned
Warner, hi law set and his fists clinched.
For a second he stood bewildered by th
Strang light which flooded this larg
room; then, with an oath, he sprang for
th black Vandyked man. He clutched
hla flngor around th throat and, with
a savage roar, bore Gilbert Blye to th
floor. Th runaway brld uttered shriek
after shrink.
At the door downstairs there stopped aa
electric coupe, "'driven by a sharp fea
tured woman with a long- nose and high
arcbsd brows. Site Jumped out, and from
th dim hallway there 'cam a short,
thick man with a short, thick stub of a
cigar In on corner of hi mouth. It waa
th well known and Justly famous pri

one no, two things can't you get him
from that? I know that he' llvln' and
I know that he' splendid! And nothing
els do I know. He must hav been ring
ing for me, too. That la If he's had a
breathing minute to lean back and wish
that he might find the only girl ia th
world! Up till now I've been busy my
self. I've been growing and finishing
myself into the girt that la the best I
can do. I've been saving my heart and
thinking- and working- so I might be pos
sessed of a soul and capable hands. I've
husked. "Tour husband I right upstair

"The viper!" hissed Honoria Blye and
dashed Into the dim hallway.
Bill Wolf caught her a ah started up

'Not so fast, madam!" h called, and
laid hold of her arm. 'This way,
please." w
"But my husband! Th girt. June!"
"They're here all right, and they can't
get away. Here' your picture,, ma'am,
and here's your bill."
He handed her a larg roll of paper
and two photographs, en of Gilbert Bly
and one of June.
Upstairs ther waa a aoen of wild
confusion. The runaway bride, her
mother. Iris Blethering and the vivacious
Tommy Thomas war creaming In hys
teria, while the heavy man with th
thick eyelids and the man with the white
mustache and Bobble Blethering and half
a dosen other men rushed upon the
fiercely struggling men on the floor.
"My husband!" shrieked June. "My
husband!"
Into this tumultuous scene there rushed
Marie and Officer Dowd and fat old
Aunt Debby Juat as the man by main
strength dragged from Gilbert Blye th
maddened assailant who had sprung upon
him,
Gilbert Blye rose, feeling of his throat,
and for a moment he contemplated Ned
Warner wtlb dexed bewilderment; then
a flash of anger came Into bis cheeks
and hla black eyea biased.
"Let him go:" he yelled, and. thrusting
th heavy Kdwards out of his way, he

There Is no step along the rose-strewn
path that Icsd.-. to the altar that Is rot
haunted bv Its own pet superstition: and
the nearer to the lovers goal, the mora
thickly these superstitions cluster. And
herein lies much of the charm of wooing
snd being weed; for not a step forward
can he taken without a dellphtful trepi
dation as to whether It will be lucky or
tho reverse, wise or foolish. It Is such
pleasing fears, such delicious doubtlngs,
that feed the flame of love, snd add a
greater brightness to its halo of romance.

pily she is not left to her resources in
deciding this crucial question, for love's
calendar has all been land-marked for
her guidance. She Is told, on unmis
takable authority.

.narry in April wnen you can,
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry when June roses blow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
Those who In July do wed.
"And so on, until December snow fall
fast, marry, and true love will last."
In nil the year since June and Oeto5rr
seem to shine with brightest promise oil
nuptial bliss, and the day of haprlestV
omen are June 4 to October 8. The mald
who wears her bridal veil on either of
these golden days Is assured of all sweet
things In her wedded life.
Then each month has Its unlucky day,
which lovers on wedding bent will be
wise to avoid. After all, they only num
ber thirty-two In the year, so that is a
liberal margin for felicity. Thus In
Februthy. th. 7th and ISth must be
struck out of the nuptial calendar: In
March, the 1st, 6th and 8th; in April, 'the
6th and 11th; in May, the Bth. th and
7th, and so on to the 17th of December,
the last ill-omened day of the year. Of
all the days of the month, the th holds
least promise of happiness and the 3d the
greatest. Even in lucky June lovers must
give the 7th and 10th a wide berth, and In
October the 6th. ' '
Having chosen the month In th llfrht
of this good counsel, a crucial question
still faces the would-be happy couple,
Which day of the week shall It be? And
here none but the blind the wilfully
blind need go astray. Friday la admit
tedly a day to avoid the altar except In
Scotland, where It Is, curiously enough,
the favorite day of all the week. .Tues
day and Wednesday are full of promise;
Thursday has one conspicuously lucky,
If inconvenient, hour that before sun
rise; while Bandar, Monday and Satur
day are neutral days. The qualities of th
days ar fairly displayed In th following
not unfamiliar lines:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health.
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses.
Saturday no luck at sll.
When once the happy day Is fixed, be
ware of changing it. for that way cer
tain disaster lies.
