A VICTOR’S SPOILS.
Miss Torrance, going down tha line,
watchrd the girl who was coming toward
her. There wore throe men with the girl,
und only Lancaster was with Miss Ter
rence. However, as he was all the world to
her, Helena-like, she lacked not worlds of
company. Tho six met on the walk in
front of Captain Lansing’s quarters.
Lansing was a cynic who observed his
kind and told tho result of his observa
tions. .Such aro deservedly unpopular, but
command appreciative audiences that are
Ihe envy of tho good hearted. It was to an
audience of the sort that he recounted tho
meeting the same afternoon when tho hand
had stopped playing and the invading
hosts from the town had scattered and left
tho post to its rightful owners.
“Dorothy Terrence," he hegan, laying
his saber across ills knees and settling back
to tho temporary repose which alone can
fall to tho let of tho office! of the day;
“Dorothy Terrence came tip the walk. Sho
had Lancaster with her, and she was look
ing happy. Miss Leeds—tho banker’s
daughter, you know — came down tho
walk. Sho bestowed a sweet und transi
tory smile upon Miss Terrence, but Lan
caster is not tho best looking follow in the
Presidio for nothing. If any of you hap
pen to share my good fortune of knowing
her. you will understand what, in the na
ture of things and of men. happened when
sho turned her eyes upon him with a trick
she lias of seeming to look into one’s very
soul. She has tho most beautiful voice out
side of tho heavenly choir, and she brought
it into play also. Dorothy stood it as long
as she could, and then she tried to get him
away, lie never even heard her. If Miss
Leeds had not gazed soul searchingly at
him and told him that she must be going,
but would soo bim at the hop, he doubtless
would he standing there still with Dorothy
anxiously watching him. It will be worth
going to the hop to sec things happen.”
Lancaster stood at the door of the dress
ing room and watched Miss Leeds while
ho waited for Dorothy. Ho saw her throw
back her gorgeous cloak and drop it from
fur the fun there is in it, and it is only
j fair to warn you. ”
She leaned back In her chair and fell to
watching the passcrsfcy upon the street and
to biting ut a cube of sugar meditatively.
“If you will accept matters that way,
we can have a very good time. If you
don’t, I have warned you, and the conse
quences, if there are any, must bo on your
own head.”
Lancaster laughed rather weakly. “I
accept the terms.” ho said. “It is under
stood that this is only a flirtation.”
Which he explained to Dorothy at much (
length, but which she would not under- I
stand and was so unreasonable about as 1
to break her engagement. Lancaster was
deeply aggrieved and rather more deeply
relieved. But it made one fact plain to
him—that he was seriously in love with a
giri who frankly told him that he was no i
more to her than a score had been before,
than scores might "be thereafter. And it
was all in vain that ho tried to change her. ,
“I warred you tjuite fairly,” she re
minded him, bending forward to stroke
the glossy neck of his Muck mare. It was ;
the mare that, of old, Dorothy had consid- |
ered almost her own property, and on ;
which she had lavished thoovorflow of her j
affection for Lancaster. “I warned you.” j
Miss Leeds repeated, “and nobody has
suffered but yourself unless”—she glanced ;
at him with a quizzical little smile—“un- j
less there was another girl?”
“There was another girl,” ho answered. [
Sho shrugged her shoulders tolerantly, i
“That was to have been expected. Most '
problems of tho heart are in the rule of j
three.”
lie frowned angrily, and his lips curved j
in contempt. “Arc you absolutely heart
less! Have you no pity for her?”
“Not a great, deal. If you were the sort
to desert her in a fortnight for a girl who
made not the slightest effort to win you,
and who told you that she didn’t love you,
I think, upon the whole, that she is rather
well rid of you.”
Lancaster was biting his lips, and he
was very angry, “She is a better woman
than you,” ho said.
“That may be. Bui, still,” sho laughed,
good naturedly, “do you think I am bad
enough for you to bo passing judgment
upon me!”
'I do, for you aro doing the thing eold
bloodedly, and I—I,” he said despondent
ly, “havo lost my head.”
She smiled into his eyes. “You don’t
want to do that. It is such a handsome
head. Lose your heart—it is not worth
nearly so much.”
He turned in his saddle and faced her.
‘I am likely to lose more than that,” ho
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
LESSON II, INTERNATIONAL SE
RIES, OCTOBER 9.
Text of Lesson, II. Cliron. xvii, 1-
lO—Memory Verses 3, 6—Golden
Text, Prov. iii, 6—Commentary
By Rev. D. M. Stearns.
1. “And Jebosaphat, his son, reigned in
bis stead and strengthened himself against
Israel.” Israel, or tho ten tribos, had
proved themselves to he the enemies of
God, and to stand with God means to
stand against Ilis enemies (.las. iv, 4).
How great the contrast in chapter xvii!,
1, where we sue Jebosaphat joining affin
ity with Aliab, the king of Israel, and thus
necessitating the reliuko of tho Lord in
chapter xix, 2, “Sbouluest thou help tha
ungodly and love them that hate th i
Lord?” To he for God at all times an i
under all circumstances is a raro thing
and is seen perfectly only in tho Lord Je
sus Christ.
3. “And ho placed forces in ail tho
fenced cities of Judah.” Every king was
king for tho Lord (II Cliron. ix, 8), and
his strength was to be in the Lord and not
in horses and chariots (Ileut. xvii, IB).
When wo put our trust in things visible,
wo aro apt to cease to see and rely upon
God (.Ter. xvii, 5). This is a constant
temptation and a snare. The Lord is often
proving us as Hu did Philip, and wo, like
Philip, venture to suggest to Him how it
might, be done, but ail the while He Him
self knows what He will do (John vi,
6-7). When wo obediently aDd trustfully,
UDder God’s guidance, make ordinary
ways of the Lord.” The margin says that
he was encouraged in the ways of the
Lord; thoso who seek to walk in the way
of the Lord shall not lack encouragement
to conrinuo therein. There will be many
a handful dropped for us on purpose to
lead us in His way (Ruth ii, 16). They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength, they shall mount up with wings
as eagles (Isa. xl, 31). The way of tho
Lord was so attractive und enjoyable that
tho way of tho world and the devil became
distasteful and the high places and groves
were taken away. We cannot walk with
God unless we humble ourselves so to do
and make up our minds to be agreed with
Him (Mie. vi, 8; Amos iii, 3).
7. “Also in the third year of his reign
he sent to his princes to teach in the cities
of Judah. ” What a suggestive foreshadow
ing of the time when “A king shall reign
In righteousness and princes shall rule in
judgment, and the work of righteousness
shall be peace, and the effect of righteous
ness, quietness and assurance forever”
(Isa. xxxii, 1, 17). There cannot ho any
thing more important than that men
should know tho Lord and His ways, and
when kings and princes tako up this as
their mission, tho kingdom will either
have come or be very near. Just now our
government has given 850,000,000 for do-
fenso, fur the purchase or manufacture of
warships or war material, but was it ever
heard that any government ever gave even
§1,000,000 to make known the living God?
8. "And with them Levites and priests.”
The priest’s lips should keep knowledge,
and they should seek the law at his mouth,
for ho is tho messenger of the Lord of
hosts (Mai. ii, 7). Their calling is sim
ply set forth in II Chrou. xxix, 11, in
these words, “My sons, bo not now negli
gent, for the Lord hath chosen you to
stand before Him tu serve Him and that
ye should minister unto Him and burn in
cense.” Priests, prophets and kings were
to recognize God al.meas their Master and
live ciily unto Him.
9. “And they taught in Judah and had
the hook of the law of tho Lord with them
and went about throughout all the cities
of Judah and taught the people. ” There
is nothing on earth so heavenly ns the
Word of God. It is all “true from tho be
ginning” and “forever sottled in heaven”
(Ps. cxix, 89, 100). We are to receive it
meekly, held it fast, rightly divide it and
hold it forth, for it is an engrafted word,
a faithful word, a word of truth and a

mass made way for her at tho mirror, and
she stood unchallenged, leisurely touching
her glimmering brown hair and pinning
a great white rose upon her shoulder.
Dorothy waited at his sido for fully five
minutes before he saw her. Then sho
laughed mockingly up into his faco and
wished that her laughter might, have been
a blow.
As roon as he could leave her he went
running and sliding across the floor to
where Miss Leeds stood at buy before a
besieging group. She was backed against
the wali. and o sunburst of sabers was
just abovo her head.
“There aro only 2d dances,” she kept re
peating, “and I never divide.”
Lancaster took two of his fellow officers
by the shoulders and put them out of his
way. Miss Leeds looked into his eye and
smiled as, it seemed to him, no woman
had ever smiled before. She put her card
into his hand.
“The two with the crosses nre tho ones
I promised you,” sho said, and as she had
promised and he had asked nothing his
heart brat high with triumph.
Xot that it was a case of love at first
sight. Ho was iu love with Dorothy. But
the most faithful of men may pay the
court siie expects to a belle and may allow
himself to be flattered by her marked fa
vors.
Ho could honestly, then and for several
weeks afterward, give Dorothy the com
fort sho sorely needed and say that he did
noteven think Miss Leeds beautiful. “She
has style and charm,” he passed judgment,
“but not beauty. And sho is a flirt.” Ho
meant that Miss Terrence should under
stand how entirely ho abhorred that.
“Did she try to flirt when you called
upon her?”
lie had* made a point of confessing tho
call directly it was made, and he thought
it tactless of Dorothy to insist upon it. Ho
shrugged his shoulders. “She does that
with every man.”
It was a truth which ho fully appreci
ated, but its feeble light no longer feil
upon the path el’ duty when the time came
that tho sun ef Miss Leeds’countenance
shed its glow upon the highway of incli
nation. And yet sho did her best to make
It clear to him.
“Xovr. listen to something I mean to
tell vou," she said to him. She set down
her "te::cup ai d learned toward him. with
her elbows upon her knees and her cb'.r.
between her soft, pink palms. Her eye*
were looking straight into his. and they
tilled his heart with anticipation. “ Do you
think that this is a risky game we are
playing, and that we rave been playing it
for all it is worth this last fortnight or
so?”
Lancaster knit bis brews.
*• it is not worth while to pretend you
don’t understand. We both know exactly
whar I mean. But I want to be sure we
both know that it is only a game. I ara
not in earnest, and you must not be.”
He gazed at her, speechless.
“I suppose you are thinking that the
suggestion of serious intentions might
rome first from you,” she said. “That
may be your way of looking at it, bur it
is ret mine- I don t care to let you have
anything to reproach me with. I liar? had
things for me, but never quite that.”
“I am not contemplating doing any'of
those. I may bo a good deal of a fool, but
not enough of a one to put an end to my
self for a woman who cares nothing for
me.”
“Yet that has been done,” she suggested.
“What I meant was—and what I in
tended to tell yon when I asked you to
come today was—that I am going to the
war.”
“That was to have been expected, of
course. Is your regiment ordered?”
“Not yet. I am especially favored.”
“When do yon leave?”
“The tiiy after tomorrow. And now I
am going to ask you to promise mo some
thing.”
They had reir.ed in their horses by the
dynamite guns and sat looking out over
the whitecappcd blue sea.
“So that it is not something I earn? it
promise.”

repeated, “If I am killed, I shall leave or
ders that my most treasured possession
shall be sent to yon.”
“Do you mean this mare?”
“I mean the mare. It will make me os
happy as it would seem I am meant to be
to know that if I die you will have her
and will ride her and be kind to her, for
you are fond of her too.”
Miss Leeds knit her brows and consid
ered. “And if I should net?” she said.
“She shall not go to anyone else. I will
have Dartmoor shoot her on the day that
he hears my death confirmed.”
Miss Leeds switched at the skirt of her
habit. “Is there no one else who is fond
of her also?’ ’
-‘No.” he answered.
“But that other girl you told me of?”
There flashed back upon Lancaster’s
memory how Dorothy had been wont to
stand with her arms around the arched
black neck and her cheek against the
warm soft nose; how the mere had fol
lowed no other but himself. Then Miss
Leeds turned the sun of her questioning
eyes upon him. They were serious now,
and their gentle light scattered the mists
of memories. She only valued the horse
for the master's sake, and the master is no
longer anything to her. “ Will you do as
I ask?"
A little Ironical smile, the smile of an
easy going cynicism, curled her lips.
“Unto the victor belong the spoils. Yes,
if anything happens to you, I will take
the horse. But you must not be rash. I
believe I prefer your safety to it.”
Two months afterward Miss Leeds,
bending forward to stroke the glossy neck
of tho black luare that had belonged tu
Lieutenant Lancaster, turned and glanced
tip into the face of the man w'no was rid
ing beside her.
“Who was the girl that yon bowed to
near the gates, the one with the big, sad
eyes?”
“It was Dorothy Terrence,” he told her.
“Lancaster used once to be engaged to
her.” •
“No wonder, then, that she looked at
me reproachfully.” Sho tried to laugh,
but the laughter broke, and she grew
white as she set the ruare into a gnllop.
“There may, you know"—she called to
him mockingly above the clatter of tho
hoofs—“thpre may lurk the adder of re
morse among the victor’s spoils.”—pwen-
dolen Overton in ArgO’»aut.
3. “And the Lord was with Jebosaphat. ”
This is the secret of all blessing. The Lord
was with Joseph (Gen xxxix, 2, 3, 21, 23).
| Tho Lord was with David (II Sam. v,
; 10). His comfort to Moses, Joshua, Gid
eon and Jeremiah was the assuraneo that
Ho was with them (Ex. iii, 12; Josh, i,
I 6; Judg. vi, 16; Jer. i, S). So when tho
Lord Jesus sont His followers to to all tho
' world the greatest encouragement He
could give them was His assurance: “All
power is given unto Mo in heaven and on
earth. Go ye, therefore, and, lo, I am with
you alway, oven unto the eud of the age”
(Math, xxviii, 18-20).
4. "He sought to tho Lord God of his
father and walked in His command
ments.” It is written of Zacbarias and
| Elizabeth that they were both righteous
| before God, walking in all the command-
merVs and ordinances of tho Lord blame
less (Luke i, 6). God had said to Israel
that If they would obey His voice and keep
His covenant, they would be a peculiar
treasure unto Him above all people (Ex.
xix, 5), and in Titus ii, 14 (R. V.), it is
written that IIo gave Himself for us to
redeem us from all iniquity and purify
unto Himself a pcop'e for His own posses
sion, zealous of goon works.
6. “Therefore tho Lord stablished the
! kingdom in hishaDd.” Josnua was told
that if he would observe to do according
to all the low, his way would bo prosper
ous and he would have good success( Joshua
1, 7, 8). In II Cliron. xx. 20, Jelioshaphat
is heard saying to tho people, “Believe in
the Lord your God, so shall ye be estab
lished,” aDd in Isa. vii. 9. is the contrast,
“If yo will not believe, surely ya shall not
be established.” In God and to His word
is the only establishment, for all else shall
be shaken, t herefore vje receiving a king
dom which cannot be shaken let us havo
grace whereby we may serve God accept
ably with reverence and godly fear, for
our God w a consuming fire (Heb. xii, 2S,
29).

word of life (,ias. i, 21; Titus i, 9; II Tim.
ii, 15; Phil, ii, 10). If all ministers and
teachers taught only the Word of God and
honored it as the Word of God, how much
more would be accomplished for God! But
when thoso who profess to bo its friends
dishonor and even set aside many portions
of it What shall we say? Just this, “For
ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in
heaven.”
10. “And the fear of the Lord fell upon
all the kingdoms cf tho lands that were
round about Judah.” There was no war.
Other nations brought presents and trib
ute, and Jebosaphat waxed great exceed
ingly (verses 11, 12). The remaining verses
i>f tho chapter tell that his army was
1,160,000, but the very next chapter tolls
of his downfall. Uzziah was marvelously
helped till ho was strong, but his strength
was his weakness and the causo of his fall
(II Chron. xxvi, 15, 16). Our only strength
Is in the Lord. Be strong in tho Lord and

Quite to an oyster stew:

A charlotte russe, a cafe mousse.

Like scent *iags, pills and banjo strings.

And when from weekday duties free
On Sunday it goes hence.

The things it’s made to hold
Would turn a miser pale with greed
And make a pirate bold.

Jack the Giant Killer’s Conundrum.
If a two headed Welsh giaDt can swal
low nine pounds of hasty pudding for
breakfast, how many new laid, soft boiled
eggs can he eat on an empty stomach?
The answer generally given is “One,”
as after the giant has swallowed one egg
his stomach would no longer be empty.
But this ovcrlQoks the fact that tho
giant had two heads and two mouths.
Therefore, if he puts one egg in each
mouth, he could swallow two eggs simul
taneously on an empty stomach.
This answer, however, does not seem
quite satisfactory, as a giant might rea
sonably be supposed to have room for
more than one egg in his mouth at one
time. The true answer then appears to
be he can swallow on an empty stomach
as many eggs as would form a giant’s
mouthful, or, as he had two heads, a dou
ble mouthful.

ly to UEe up the albumenoids or strength
giving elements and thus leave the
milk richer. Yet the morning’s milk
may bo richer iu butter fats for au en
tirely different reason. There is reason
to believe that all the time milk is
forming in the udder it is losing some
of its butter fats which are being ab
sorbed by the cow. Tho strippings or
milk last formed is for this reason rich
er than that first taken. Iu summer
time there is a shorter time between
milking at morning than at night, and
consequently there is a greater propor
tion of strippings in the smaller mess of
milk.—American Cultivator.
