of the right hand upon the five
knobs in the margin of the second
panel on the righthand side; with the
thumb touch the inlaid rose in the
center of the the side panel. On
opening the chest the drawer will be
found open also.”
I tead thus far, then vaguely won¬
dered if the secret drawer had been
discovered. I glanced at the date of
the will and the name, address and
description of the testator—since 1890,
when Erasmui Whitehead, sculptor,
wrote these directions, the money had

“JAN WHITEHEAD.”
Spare her five minutes! Five years'
Five lives if I had ’em.
At the end of the road I met her.
She was obviously pleased (on the
beastly chest’s account of course).
Mrs. Pelham bustled up to watch
Proceedings. I examined the chest—
bosses, knobs, inlaid strips and the
rose. Then I opened the lid. A floor
panel bad risen; from it, to one side,
obtruded a drawer. Jan bent down,
Mrs. Pelham lowered her head, pant¬
ing. I stood up, a sharp pain in my
heart.
It was empty. Whatever it had
contained had been abstracted.
Jan straightened and walked to the
window, Mrs. Pelham subsided Into
a chair and blubbered.
"Forgive—how foolish you must
think me!” she said, trying to smile
—a piteous attempt that shook a
shower of tears from ber brimming
eyes. “I—I had been silly enough to
be too sanguine.” -
Silence fell—a strained silence
Tnen she told me of her hunt for the
purchaser of the chest. She had
found Jacob Sidney In a back street
in Putney, whether he had gone on
giving up the shop. Fortunately—so
fortunately as she then thought—he
had taken a fancy to the Patsea chest.
The old man was ill; she had not
been allowed to see him. and it was
only at a vastly efthanced price that
he consented to sell—$250 she told me
with a shiver.
I’ve never felt so utterly wretched,
so entirely despairing, as I did all
that night, and the next day—till an
hour after John King had left me.
“I’m worried,” old King had growl¬
ed.
“It’s a girl—t typist—in the office.
I’ve always thought her as hone 3 t as

to me in a state of nervous excite¬
ment. She's been with us six years_

KEPT MONEY IN CORK LEG
Before a Surgical Operation, Samuel
Ridenbaugh Disclosed a Deposit
of $1,100.
Not placing much faith in banks,
Samuel Ridenbaugh, a restaurant
keeper in Brunswick, Md., for years
deposited his savings in a hole ln his
cork leg. especially prepared for a
banking receptacle.
Secretive and peculiar In his hab¬
its, Ridenbaugh had never disclosed
this eccentricity. Recently he was
taken suddenly ill and after a hur¬
ried consultation by physicians an im¬
mediate operation was decided upon.
He was taken the the Frederick City
hospital.
Before being operated on he asked
that a friend be called in. tinstrap¬
ping his cork leg, Ridenbaugh in¬
trusted it to his friend’s care, telling
him that it contained all his personal
possessions.
Ridenbaugh died and $1,100 In bank

some silver was found in the cork

Implicitly. I tell you. Today she
came to me, white as a sheet, her
eyelids swollen with tears, big blue
rings around her eyes, absolutely
ashamed of herself, and confessed she
couldn’t pay.”
“What’s her name?" I asked as care¬
lessly as I could.
"Whitehead,” said he.
At 6:30 Jan found me waiting her.
“I’ve been thinking.” I said, speak¬
ing rapidly in jerks. "We—we gave
up too soon. We should have search¬
ed the chest more carefully. The
notes might have slipped, you know.”
1 went over to the chest, found the
catches and threw up the lid.
She bent down, thrusting her little
hand Into the hollow from which the
draw had r/sen.
I heard her draw a noisy, shudder¬
ing breath. From the hole she drag¬
ged a bundle—something wrapped in
yellow, dust-stained paper, tied with
a piece of rotten string. Cobwebs
and dirt fell in a shower as she tore
away the covering. Then she threw
back her head with a cry of delight,
of huge relief, laughing unsteadily,
trembling violently.
God bless you, look! You don’t
know all you’ve done for me. I feel
I can breathe again. I feel clean now.

to hope that Jan didn’t think

waiting for her.
But one day Jan did not offer her I

“Why do this—why?” she cried pas¬
sionately, adding with cruel illogical¬
ness: “You must have known I should
find out! I’m alone in the world; I’m
poor. You’ve—you’ve cheated me into
spending money which Isn’t mine.
How dared you—how could you? I
thought you my friend. You meant
to be kind. Yes, you've been cruel.”
“Your trouble came about through
me,” I said quietly, after a pause. “I
let you in for it. It was my optimism
which made you so eager to buy the
chest. I apologize.”
She echoed the word in derision.
“I can do no more,” I said.
“Except—go,” she said rudely; yet
she choked.
And then I did the only wise thing
I had done that afternoon. I went to
her and stood behind her and said
sternly:
"I have an excuse. The best. I
love you. I won’t bear your cruelty
any longer. I won’t hear your re¬
proaches. I’ll only hear your answer
to my question. Jan, will you marry
me? And I'll not hear your ‘No’ to
that; only your ’Yes.’”
She had grown stiff, rigid, as first
I spoke. Then little by little her head
had fallen forward. She suddenly col¬
as went forward,
upward to her face. She was crying
as my arms went round her, crying
as I dragged her fingers from her
tear-wet cheeks, crying as I bent her
head back and stared into her eyes.
But it was her lips—framing no
word, but something infinitely sweet¬
er—which answered me at last.

The Heathen in His Blindness.
An Indian went hunting one day for
deer. After tramping through the
woods for some hours he came across
a herd and managed to kill one. He
shouldered it and started for market,
w hich was some five miles away. Now
of course, the longer he walked the
heavier the deer got, and by the time
he reached the deer market he was
about all In. He hung the deer on the
scales and stood looking at it with
wonder. Finally he said to the man:
“Ugh! Let him hang a while.”

ADVERTISING THE SOUTH
Southern Railway to Have Fine Ex¬
hibits at Fairs in Different Parts
of the Country.
Washington, D. C—Tile advantages
and opportunities which the South¬
eastern states offer to Industrious
homeseekers will be strikingly dis¬
played during the next few months
at fairs and expositions in Iowa, Wis¬
consin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and New York, which last year
had an aggregate attendance of over
two million people and at the great
annual Canadian Exposition at To¬
ronto, running over two weeks, with
an average daily attendance above
100,000, by exhibits which will be
made by the Southern railway sys¬
tem.
Exhibits will be made at more than
twenty-five fairs in the states named,
each one of which has been selected
with a view to its character, attend¬
ance, and probable interest in loca¬
tions in the Southeast on the part of
the people artending. Four sets of
exhibits have been prepared. Each
set will be shown at from six to nine
different fairs covering a wide stretch
of country. A special exhibit will be
sent to the Toronto exposition. The
exhibits wil consist of fresh fruits,
cotton, tobacco, potatoes and truck
and colored pictures showing

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR SEPT. 8
THE MISSiON OF THE TWELVE.
LESSON TEXT-Matt. 8:35 to 10:15 and
10:40 to 11:1.
GOLDEN TEXT—“He that recelveth
you recelveth me, and he that recelveth
mo recelveth him that sent me.”—Matt.
10:40.
The first verse of our lesson Is a
vivid picture of the life of our Lord.
Going about from village to village,
he taught, healed and preached the
good tidings of his new kingdom.
Why? Not only because of his com¬
passionate heart as revealed in the
second verse of the lesson, hut also
as a proof of his claims and, “that be¬
lieving ye might have life through his
name,” John 20:30, 31. This does not,
however, lessen the force of this sec¬
ond verse, for Jesus as the true Shep
herd was Indeed “touched with a feel
Ing of our Infirmities.” Seeing the
multitude thus without a shepherd, so
faint and weary as to lay down and
kn ® w,D « that his great work was to
, ! Sa/rljgdjon by others after he had
“ flni8hed ” «P° n Calvary, he makes
I io1 & hv choosing the
i a _ =« ■=
to carry on his ministry.
Jesus realized that no one man can
minister to all others except as he
multiplies his personality in the lives
of others. So it is that he gives the
church of today a powerful example of
how to answer the prayer of verse 38
by liis practical method suggested in
verse 1 of chapter 10. His vision of
verse 36 is the passion of his life and
he intends it to be the passion of our
lives. Truly the harvest is bountiful.
I the opportunity is tremendous. All
. th(jt , 8 nee ded is helpers, hence our
first duty is to pray and our second to
accept his enduement for service.
Jesus sends forth those whom he tells
to pray.
Disciples Restricted
Following this introduction we find
a list of the peculiarly chosen
who are to be his vice-gerents
his passing, and from verse f> on
find the charge he delivers to
There is in this charge, first, the
of limitation, verses 5 to 15;
the note of warning, verses 16 to
and thirdly the note of
verse ________ including 24 to the 10:1. end True, of this io- Ms ‘f

N/otioe the grouping of the names
oT these disciples. First th«? three
who formed that, inner circle. Peter,
James and John, and with th£m An¬
drew, who first brought Peter to Je¬
sus (John 1:41). After these the
names are In groups, of two, and It
was as such they were afterwards
sent out, Mark 6:7. So we today are
not alone, Matt. 28:20, Acts 1:8.
Let us observe the restriction placed
upon these disciples. They are to
minister not to the ('entiles nor even
the Samaritans, though Jesus did both
during his life, John 4:4 and Matt.
15:22, but not so these whom he now
ls sending, at least not till his work Is
complete and Israel has had Its day
of opportunity. After Calvary this re¬
striction is removed, as we can see
from the book of Acts. Of course
this restriction is not Incumbent upon
us. We must not, however, forget that
the removing of this restriction does
not remove our obligation to the Jews.
The duty to evangelize the Jew is still
Incumbent upon the disciples of
Christ.
Another restriction is in the mes¬
sage and the method. The message
is to be the good news of the king¬
dom. They are to “herald forth” that
it ls at hand. That the Messiah has
come. We are told that they are not
to force the acceptance of their mes¬
sage. That in its proclamation they
shall receive all sorts of opposition.
That they must look well to their
own character, they are to be as sheep

persecution shall , bo . a witness _ .. ^ against .
their persecutors for “his sake.” Yea.
they shall be hated of all men and
compelled to flee from one village to
another, but a wonderful reward shall
be theirs if they endure to the end.
Bearing of Disciples.
What is to be their method? First,
it is to be that of absolute depend¬
ence upon the Father. It is true that
Paul _ . labored . . , with his , , own hands, . . but .
at at the th. same time he he accepted th« the
bounty of the churches and urged that
such fruit might abound, Phil. 4:10,
15, 17. Jesus is here teaching us the
other lesson that the “laborer is wor¬
thy of his hire.” The disciple is to
heal. Tlie ministry of hospital, nuis
ing and godly physicians ls a marvel¬
ous fulfillment of this command. Ob¬
serve well the ministry of medical
missions. There is no greater Inspi¬
ration to the Christian church. What
ls to be the bearing of these di*eiples?
It is to be that of dignity snd self
respect. see Luke 10:5.
While it is true the disciple is to
offer and not to force his message
upon the people, yet for Israel to re¬
ject was indeed a wors« state than
that of Sodom and Gonorrah. The
overthrow and scattering of the Jew¬
ish nation is a byword .n history.
As to the note of compassion, we
should read all of this chapter.
Remember the dignity of our work
Remember that we go in the name of
One who came to “chew forth the Fa¬
ther.” Remember that as we thus
“forth-tell” and shaw forth our Father
and that as we receive others and oth¬
ers receive us ve honor the Father
Social service fc good, but let. it be
done in the name of a disciple and to
the glory of God the Tather. Such,
indeed, is the practical life of the
called ones who follow in the steps
of him wbo came to minister and not
to be unto.

Readers of fiction are to he con¬
gratulated upon the rule tieat in
store for them. Mary Roberts Rine¬
hart’s new book, “Where There’s a
Will,” has just been issued, and, re¬
ally, nothing hut the author’s name
is needed as an a ssurance of its ex¬
cellence. Year by year Mrs. Rine _____
hart’s 1 power P is growing. Her

She is a typical American fascinatisfij story-teTlfy
who devises plots that are
and who treats these plots with a
lightness and deftness that makes
them especially appealing to those
who read for amusement. “Where
There’s a Will” is no exception, and
in fact, it may be said that it displays
more of Mrs. Rinehart’s keen sense of
humor than anything she has ever
written.
The story not only scintillates with
wit, a spark in every sentence, .hut it
has decided point and object. The
methods of modem sanitariums, the
various treatments prescribed, the
taot needed to handle patients, the
doping of the sulphur springs—in fact,
thorough exposure of the tricks of the
trade, are exhibited on one side, and
on (he other are held up the humors,
the whims, the vanities of the frac¬
tious patients. All of this is done in
the spirit of spontaneous gayety with'
out the slightest tinge of bitterness.
It is pure comedy and the purpose
is inherent in the subject rather than
dragged forth hy the narrative, and
the anther seems to enjoy writing as
much as the reader does the perusal.
Not a -race of effort, of flagging, of
stalen«ss is apparent. The bubbling
fun h so fresh, so plentiful, that it
seeps to require more labor than does
the poppirg of champagne.
Several pretty girls parade through
Ae pages much to the delight and
j the anguish of several likable young
I men ’ Not least interesting is the love
a ^ air of Minnie, , the red-haired spring
linilftp house p’irl girl whn who tells fhCl the atnpv story in in fiv her
own humorous way, and who is really
its heroine, although Minnie is far
too modest to admit. Minnie is an
original creation and is as full of gin¬
ger as her mineral spring is of dope.
She is in the front ot the action all
the time, and, owing to her foresight
and ability.t.he thread is finally un¬
tangled to the satisfaction of all con¬
cerned. All of the characters are well
drawn and make lasting impressions.
In short, the entire book is filled with
good things that it becomes a con¬
stant delight to the reader. Mr. F.
Yaux Wilson contributes a number of
unusually good illustrations.
Developments during the Pan-Amer¬
ican congress that recently closed in
Buenos Ayres, says the St. Paul Pio¬
neer Press, are said to be worrying
the tradesmen and manufacturers of
Europe, and Germany in particular
sees danger to its “supremacy in
South American commerce if the Pan
American propaganda of Mr. Blaine
and his successors is advanced in
the next twenty years as vigorously
as in the last twenty years.” The re¬
ports from the Argentina metropolis
are certainly gratifying to the people
of the United States,
The most picturesque figure at the
medical department of Berlin Univer¬
sity, this season, was Hamek Waly,
an Arab sheik, writes an American
student from that city. “He was
graduated ‘summa cum lai^le.’ The
sheik is a swarthy, tall man. about
30 years old, who attracted much at¬
tention when seen on the streets in
a long, flowing white robe and tur¬
ban and carrying a black gold-headed
cane.”

YOU ARE POISONING
YOURSELF WITH FOOD
PURE FOOD DOES NOT PREVENT
POISONOUS GASES.
All Could Be Methuselah* if We Did
Not Shorten Life by Self-Poisoning.
All food eaten has some waste, un¬
used particles left in the stomach un¬
digested. From this waste uric acid
generates, and when uric acid gets In
the blood stream it poisons the system.
This is termed autotoxemia. Indiges¬
tion. biliousness, dyspepsia, sick head¬
ache, languidness, loss of energy and a
weakened physical condition result
and make the system vulnerable to
disease. Eliminate autotoxemia, and
we might live hundreds of years.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT flushes the
stomach and the bowels, dissolves the
uric acid and expels it with the undi¬
gested putrefying waste matter that
generates the poison.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is better
than calomel. It. causes no vomiting,
nausea or after effect. Effervescent,
agreeable, mild, quick—no other liver
