LADY CAR; ------ O R , ------ / , / THE SEQUEL OE A LIFE. B Y M R S . O L I R M A N T . CHAPTER XIII. 15 She never knew how she was taken home. A horrible dream of half- conscious misery, of dreadful move ment when all she wanted was to He down and be still, of a confusion of eight and sound, things dimly seen in strange, unnatural motion, voices all broken Into one bewildering hum, al ways t h a t sense of being t a k e n some where where she did not want to go, wljen quiet and silence was all she desired, interposed between the rocky plateau of the shore and h|er room, in which sho opened her eyes In the evening In the waning light to find Janet and her maid by her bedside, her windows wide open to admit the air, and Beaufort in c onsultation with the doctor at the other end of the room. She had opened h^r eyes for a minute or two before anything settled into its place, and she per ceived fully where she was. She lay in great weakness, but no pain, re membering nothing, feeling the soft, all-enveloping peace which had been round her like a mantle, covering all her wounds again. \Are you there, my dear, and is that Edw a r d ? \ she said. And it was not till some time after, till the soft shaded lights were lit In the room and all quiet, and Beaufort seated by her bedside read ing to her, t h a t she suddenly remem bered what had passed. She put out her thin hand and grasped him by the arm. “Edward, was t h a t true?\ “What, Carry? Nothing has hap pened but t h a t you have been ill a lit tle, and now you are better, my love. And you must be quiet, very quiet.” “ It is true,” she said, with her fingers clasping his arm. “My son lid t h a t ; my son.” “ It is put all r i g h t, ” said Beaufort, ‘there is no deadly wrong done. And the girl is very young; she can be trained. Carry, my love!” “ Yes, I know. I must keep quiet, tnd I will. I can put everything out yf my thoughts now. God has given me the power. But he meant that, Edward. ” “ God knows what he m e a n t , ” said Beaufort. “He did not realize. Half .he harm these boys do is t h a t they lever realize— ” “ You say women are often unjust. Would men— look over t h a t ? ” He got up from his chair and put lown his book. “ You must not ques- ;ion me,\ he said, “you must not think of it at all. Put it out of your thoughts altogether, my dear love. You must think of the rest of us— of me, and poor little J a n e t . ” He added, After a moment, “no one need ever enow. ” Certainly Beaufort was very kind, tie behaved in all this like a true gen tleman and a true lover. He would Save plucked, but altogether the sting )f t h a t great wound had It been pos- Jible, and he was quite unaware of the other stings he had himself plant- $d, undermining her strength. She looked up at him, lying there in her weakness, with her beautiful smile loming back, the smile which was so 10 ft, so indulgent, so tender, so all- forgiving, the smile th a t meant fiespair. What could she do more, that gentle, shipwrecked creature, un able to contend with the wild seas and billows t h a t went over her head? What had she ever been able to do? Janet, who did not know what was the meaning of it all, but had vague, horrible fancies about Tom which she could not clear up, went out next day by herself in the bright August morn ing to get a little air. She had enough of her mother In her to like the sound of the sea, and to be soothed by it. And the half-comprehended incidents of the previous night and the alarm about Lady Car's state had shaken Janet. She thought, with the sim plicity of her age, t h a t perhaps if she went away a little, was absent for an hour or so from the room, that her mother would not look so pale when she came back, and Lady Car’s smile went to Janet’s heart. It was too like an angel's, she thought to herself. A living woman ought not to be too like an angel. Her eyes kept filling with tears as she wandered along, looking out upon tho sea. But gradually the bright air and the light that was in the atmosphere and the warmth of the sunshine stole into Janet’s heart and dried the tears in her eyes. She went into the green inclosure of the ruined castle and sat down upon the old wall looking out to sea. She could see tho place where she and Beau had come upon that strange group among the rocks. She had not made out yet what it meant. A» she eat there gazing out and lost In her own thoughts and wonderlngs a voice suddenly sounded at her ear which made her start— \Oh my bon- nle Miss Janet,\ It said, “have 1 found you at last?” Janet turned slowly around aghast. The color forsook her face, and all strength seemed to die out of her. She had known it would come one time or other. She had steeled herself for such a meeting every time she had been compelled to leave the shelter of the Towers; nut now she was far away, in a place which had no association with him, surely— surely she should have been safe now. And yet she had known , beforehand, always known, that &ome time this would come. His voice S»nk Into her soul, taking aw i xll her s t r e n g th and courage. W h a t hold Janet supposed this man to have over her who could tell? She feared him as if he had it in his power to carry her away against her will or do some dreadful harm. The imagination of a girl has wild and causeless panics as well as gracious visions. She t r e m bled before this man with a terror which she did not attempt to account for. She t u rned round slowly a panic- stricken, colorless face. “Why, what is the matter with you, my honnie little lady? Are ye feared for m e ? ” “Oh, Mr. Charlie,\ said Janet, “don’t speak to me here. If anybody were to see you! And mother— mother is in great trouble already. Oh, don’t speak to me here! ” “ Do you mean you’ll speak to me in some other place? I’m well con tent If ye’ll do that— some place where we’ll be more private, by our selves. Ye may be sure th a t ’s what I would like best.” “ I did not mean t h a t , ” said Janet, in great distress. “Oh, Mr. Charlie, don’t speak to me at all! I am very unhappy— already. ” “It will not make you more un happy to speak to an old friend like me? And who has made you un happy, ray bonnie lady? I wish I had t h e paying of him. It’ll be t h a t loose of a brother of yours.” “How dare you speak so of my brother?” cried Janet with momen tary energy, and then she began to cry, unable to restrain herself in her agitation. “Oh, go away! If you please, will you go away?” “And do you want to hear no more of the pony?” said Charlie Blackmore. “She’s as bonny a little beast as ever stepped, and fit to carry a Princess— and Miss Janet Torrance. I ’ve kept my word. She’s just been bred like a princess, without doing a day’s work. I ’ve kept her, as I said I would, for you.” “Oh, I hope yoi^do not mean t h a t , ” cried J a n e t. “Oh, Mr. Charlie, I hope it was not my fault! I was very, very young then, and I did not know there was any harm in it. Oh, I hope you have not kept her for me! ” “W h a t harm was there in it?\ he said, putting his hand on her arm, which J a n e t drew away as if his touch had been fire. “Come now. Miss Janet, you must be reasonable. There was no harm in it more than there is a little crack by ourselves, be tween you and me.” Janet shrank into the corner of the seat away from him. “There was harm , ” she said, “for I never told mother; and there is harm now, for if any one I knew were to come here and see us I would die of sham e . ” “ No,v my bonnie lady, you would not die; that's too strong,” said Blackmore. “And do you know it’s not civil to draw away like that? When we met in the Easton road you were not so frightened. You gave me many a glint of your eyes t h e n , and many a pleasant word. And do you mind the long rides we had, and you as sorry when they were over as me? And the miles that I rode to bring you the pony and give you your pleas ure, though you t u r n from me now ? ” You were very kind, Mr. Charlie, said Janet in a trembling voice. “ I am not saying I was kind. I would not have done it if I had not liked it. But you were kind then, Miss J a n e t , and you’re not kind now.” “ I was only a child,” cried Janet; “I never thought. I know now it was very silly— oh,, more than silly. If I beg y o u r pardon, oh, Mr. Charlie, will you forgive me, and— and leave me alone? ” And what if that was to break my h e a r t ? ” he said. “ B reak your heart? Why should it do t h a t ? Oh, no, no, It would not do that; you are only laughing— ” “Me laughing! What It I had taken a fancy, then, for a bit of a small girl, and set my heart upon her, but kept out of the way for years not to see the bonnie little thing till now that you’re woman grown and under stand? And all you say is to ask me to leave you alone! Is t h a t a kind thing to say?” “Mr. Charlie,” said Janet desper ately, “ I can hear by your voice that you’re not in earnest; and as for t a k ing a fancy, I was only a child, and that would mean nothing. And the whole of it was just— just sport to you, and it is for a joke you're doing it now.\ “Joke? It's no joke,” he said. “I know what you think; you think I am not gentleman enough for you. But I’ll have plenty of money, and your father, If he had lived, would not have turned me from his door. Hallo! who’s there?\ he cried, start ing up as some one hit him sharply on the shoulder. Janet, looking up in fredh alarm, felt a mingled rush of terror and relief when she saw over Blackmore’s head the lowering coun tenance of Tom. “I say, Charlie, get out of that,\ said Tom. “I’m not going to stand this sort of thing, you know. I may be going to the dogs myself, but my sister sha’n’t. Be off, I tell you, and leave her alone.” “Am I the dogs, Mr. Tom? No such black dogs as you're going to, my friend. Keep your good advice for yourself, and don't Intrude where you're wanted. We can manage our affairs without yon.\ “ By Jo v e ! \ cried Tom, “if you speak another word to my sister, I’ll pitch you over the cliff!” Blackmore began to laugh with an exasperating contempt — contempt which exasperated Janet, though Tom, too, had touched the same note of the intolerable. She sprang up hastily, putting out her arm between them. “You are two men,” she said, “but Tom is not much more than a boy, and you are quarreling about me that wants nothing in the world so much as to get away from both of you. Do you hear me? I would not vex mother,” J a n e t crietJU \ for all the men in the world. Oh, can’t you see that you are like two fools wrangling over m e ? ” “Let him take himself off, then,” said Tom. “And let him hold his tongue, the confounded young scamp!” cried the other, “that dares to challenge me— when he knows I could lick him with in an inch of his life.” CANCER RIVALS WHITE PLAGUE. Dread Disease Making Rapid In- crease. A s s a r t s Dr. Hi R. Gaylord in His Annual Report. Startling statements to the effect that cancer is rapidly becoming a strong rival of the white plague and that the toll now demanded by the former has reached an appalling total are made by Dr. Harvey R. Gaylord, of the New York State Cancer Labor atory, at Buffalo, in his annual re port to Health Commissioner Eugene H. Porter. “The increase in the disease in t h e State of New Y'ork is little short of appalling,” asserts Dr. Gaylord. “The average death rate per one hun dred thousand population for 1906, ’07, ’08, taken collectively is seventy- six, showing an increase in thirteen years, from 1896 to 1909, of 28.8 per cent.

Without imagination, or sense, or principle, or restraint of honor, he had pursued the reckless career of his mind, too precipitate and eager in pursuit of pleasure to leave time to think, even if he had been able to think. The abominable treachery of which he had intended to be guilty had not touched his conscience, not having appeared to his obtuse under standing as anything worse than many “dodges” which other fellows | adopted to get what they wanted.

Paul was an apostle and had the authority of an apostle, but he was absolutely free from the domineering spirit. He besought men rather than command ed them (cf. ch. 2:6, 7). His exam ple is worthy of consideration and imitation by all ecclesiastical rulers to-day. While all believers are breth ren, it Is the appointment of God that some be “over” others. The duty of those who are “over” others ,, . , is to labor among them (the word for We well understand why tuber- “ labor” is a very strong word: it . culosis is decreasing.

Our knowl edge of the nature of cancer as a disease is in its infancy, but it is rapidly advancing and the outlook to-day offers a very bright hope t h a t in the future we shall understand and combat the disease by methods based on the present experimental research. \The Huntington Endowment in New York City, the Caroline Brewer- croft cancer fund at Harvard and our own laboratory are the only special Institutions in the United States. The sum total of funds expended ex clusively in experimental cancer re search is less than $35,000 per an num.

The “dis orderly’’ (particularly those who would not work, cf. 2 Thess. 3:6, 11; 1 Thess. 4:11), they should “admon ish,” “the faint-hearted” they should “encourage,\ \the weak” (those spir itually weak) they should “support.\ The word for \support” is a very ex pressive one. It means to take hold of so as to support (cf. Gal. 6:1, 2; Ro. 15:1; 1 Cor. 9:22). “Long suf fering toward all,\ \There is no be liever who needs not the exercise of patience “toward\ h i m ; there is none to whom a believer should not show it.\ Under no circumstances must we pay back the evil t h a t any other man does us (cf.

His conscience had given him little trouble, but his wounded pride, his mortification, his humiliation were t o r ture to him. He had come out raging with these fur ious pangs, eager to find something, anything, with which he could fight and assuage his burning wrath. To pitch Charlie Blackmore over the cliffs, even to be pitched over them himself, and roll down the sharp rocks and plunge in the cold sea be neath felt as though it would be a relief from the gnawing and the rags within. \Come on, then! ” he cried, furious; “I’ll take no hiding from any man if he were Goliath. Come on!” “Mr. Charlie,” cried Janet, putting out her hand, “if it’s true, you may do one t h ing for me. One thing I ask you to do as if you were the best gentleman in the world, and I will think you so if you will do it; leave me to him a n d him to me. And good- by; and neither say you like us nor hate us, but j u s t go— oh, go! Do you hear m e ? ” she said, stamping her foot. “ I ask you as a gentleman.” She had caught her brother by the arm and held him while she waved the other away. “That’s a strong argument,” said i Blackmore. He was moved by what she said, and also by common sense, which told his suit was folly. \If we’re fools, you’re now, Miss Jan6t Torrance,” he said, with a laugh, “which is more t h a n I thought. What! am I to turn my back upon a man th a t ’s clenching his neives at me? Well, maybe you’re right. There’s none in the county will think Charlie Blackmore s tands in fear of Tom Tor rance. Yes, Missle, you shall have your will. I’m going— good-by to both him and you.” “ Do you t h ink I’ll let the fellow go like t h a t ? ” cried Tom, making a step i after him; but perhaps his fury fell at the sight of the might and s t r e n g th of the retiring champion— perhaps it was only the wretchedness in his mind that fell from the burning to the freezing point. He sat down gloom ily, after having watched him disap pear, on the bench from which Charlie Blackmore had risen. \I don’t care what becomes of me, Jan,” he said. \I'm done. Nothing that ever happens will be any good to me now. I ’ve choked that fellow off, that's one thing, and he’ll never dare to speak to you again.

Our ac tivities have increased from year to year, but the appropriations which the State has seen fit to give to us have not been adequate for our task. The results to be obtained in wrork of this sort are directly proportionate to the amount of money expended.” The Drug Store Morgue. The woman left the prescription and said she would call for the medi cine in half an hour. \ I ’ll bet $5 she won’t,” said the clerk. \She just looks like the kind that gets medicine put up for the fun of the thing.” \I didn’t suppose there was any body foolish enough to take her fun that way,” remarked the next cus tomer. “Oh! yes, there are such people, lots of them,” said the clerk. “Sel dom a week passes that we do not put up a prescription that Is never called for. Why in the world the people who t h u s neglect their reme dies a fter ordering them compounded will go to the trouble and expense of consulting a doctor is more than I can figure out. If they don’t want to take the stuff prescribed they cer tainly don't have to, but they might at least have t h e grace to come and take it home after we have gone to the trouble to prepare it and not throw it back a dead loss on our | hands. Why, I’ve got a regular morgue back there for the repose of uncalled for bottles of medicine. I keep the stuff indefinitely, hoping that in case the customer has not been carried off by sudden death she will show up again some time and ask for the bottle If I happen to know the delinquent’s address I send around C.

Account for the drop? 1° the Bible: \Faithful is he that : Well, opinion is divided. For my only so, but “toward all,” even the bitterest infidel and persecutor. III. The Will of God, 16-18. Three things every believer should do all the time— rejoice, pray and give thanks, this is God’s will in Christ Jesus to usw'ard. A Christian should rejoice every day and every hour (cf. Phil. 4:4. 6; Rom. 14:17; 12:12; Acts 5:41; Jas. 1:2). A Christian should pray, not intermittently, but constantly. Every day should be a “ day of prayer” (cf. Eph. 6-18) Phil. 4:6). Only as he prays without ceas ing will the Christian rejoice always. In everything, absolutely everything, should the Christian give thanks (cf. Eph. 5:20). IV. Entire Sanctification, 10-24. When any one receives the Holy Spirit he receives a holy fire (cf. Matt. 3:11; Acts 2:3; 2 Tim. 1:6, R. V., Marg.). This fire should not be quenched. We quench this fire in ourselves by not yielding to the fire that burns within. We quench this fire In others w'hen we throw cold water upon them as they seek to obey the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Some in Thessalonica thought lightly of the utterances of others who spoke under the Holy Spirit’s influence. Yet they must not accept every m a n ’s claim to speak by the Spirit. They should “prove all things” (cf. 1 Jno. 4:1). They should seek to find out- whether the claim was true or false. Every claim to speak by the Spirit should be tested by a comparison with the teachings of the written word (cf. Isa. 8:20; Acts 17:11; Gal. 1:8, 9). No m a n ’s claim to author ity and infallibility should be accept ed merely because he makes the claim. That w-hich stands the test and is found to be good we should \hold fast” (cf. Luke 8:15, R. V.; 1 Cor. 11:2, R. V.; Heb. 2:1). On the other hand, that which proves bad, \every form of evil” (R. V ), should be abstained from. This twentieth verse is constantly misinterpreted to mean to abstain from all appearance of doing evil if we can without doing actual evil in order to avoid th-i mere appearance of doing evil (cf. 2 Cor. 8:20, 21). Nevertheless it is not the outward appearance, but the heart and its purposes at which God looks (cf. 1 Sam. 16:7; Luke 16:15). Man consists of three parts, the spirit, re ceived directly from God and linking him to God (cf. Gen. 2:7; 1 Cor. 15: 45); the soul, i. e., the animal soul (cf. Jude 19, R V., and Marg. and Greek), and the body. Paul’s prayer is that each part of this threefold man be blame.\ This means the absolute perfection of whole man (cf. Phil. 3:20, 21) When is this absolute perfection to be attained? “At the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (cf. ch. 3:13; 1 Jno. 3:2). And now follows, if we take it in its connection. S I D N E Y H.
