admitted the mother,
“It is so. And when I see women
with two in: three little children and
all their housework to do, pursuing
Bores sort of lucrative work, I am

{< TVJTV DAL'GHTUR Lucy has been
L'fL Wl .|| brought up," said Mrs. Dal
j ton Mowbray. She always does as Dal
ton and I tell tier to. I can't cwn Ive
how some parents let their children
flout them the way they do. In the mat
ter of marriage, especially, girls nowa
days hardly pay any attention at ail
to the wishes and commands of their
father and Lucy would no
more think of marrying without the
consent and approval of Dulton und
myself than she would of tlying.”
It was a great pleasure und satis
faction to Mrs. Mowbray to discourse
thus oh the piazza of the summer
hotel to the other matrons there as
sembled. Home of Mrs. Mowbray's
uuditors, U is true, smiled aside us
they thought of the evident courtship
which was going on under Mrs. Mow
bray’S eye*~-tho courtship of her
daughter Lucy by James Bacon, prob
ably the most ineligible young man
from a financial standpoint, of all
those stopping at the hotel.
They wondered If Mrs. Mowbray
knew of It. As a matter of fact Mrs.
Mowbray know of it, and so did
Afr. Miiwiiruy.' An<T "thety' TiiTth had
sternly and frequently told Lucy that
she must have nothing whatever to
do with James. Mrs. Mowbray Issued
orders, which were countersigned by
Mr. Mowbray, that Lucy should marry
Hex Churl why Jiad family position
nnd wag "supposed to have a lurge (
fortune. Any protest which Lucy ,
might Make only resulted in new und !
more emphatic orders.
Lucy and James talked the matter
over almost every day, trying to find
a solution of the problem before them, i
For Lucy did not wunt to break the
habit of a lifetime and disobey her j
parents unless It wus absolutely nec
essary. It wus beginning to look, |
however, as If it would be absolutely
necessary. For Ilex Charlton wus
pressing Ills suit more and more earn
estly. When Lucy threw herself upon
bis generosity, and told him frankly
that she loved another, Rex had only
replied that she would. In tlm«k learn 1
to love him, for such fervent love as
his was bound to meet with a re- •
turn.
Lucy and James held a long con- |
ference. ’There seems to be no way ’
out of It," said James, "except for us
to go off and get married, and then
come back and beg for the parental
forgiveness. I ain not so very poor—
I have some money and a good Job.
I guess we cun get along all right. I
would not suggest this eloping sort .
of marriage If I could tliink of any
thing else.”
Ho it was arranged that Lucy and
James should meet in town two (lays
Inter, get n marriage license and be
married', Lucy cried a good deal that
night and James was ruther nervous
over the drastic step they were about
to take.
To relieve his mind Jamea went l
off fishing the next morning and wus |
gone all day. Several telegrams of \
Importance reached the hotel for j
him. but remained unopened in his.
letter-box until Ills return, late In the !
evening. When James hud read these j
telegrams tie sut down and thought
for awhile, Htid then looked about to ;
try and find Lucy. But Lucy was no- |
where visible. She wus at that mo
ment In her mother’s room, where her
pnrents had haled her for the purpose j
of giving her new uud fresh orders.
Mr. Mowbray, who went to the city |
every morning, had come home that
night In astute of suppressed excite
ment, uud at once hud gone Into ex
ecutive session with Mrs. Mowbray. |
"Yes," said he, at the end of the ses- l
slon, “his entire fortune! And I looked
up Charlton and found his property. I
had been very much exaggerated." i
Mrs. Mowbray touched the bell and j
a bellboy was sent to And Miss Mow- |
bray and summon her at, once to the
august presence, came, pale and i
trembling. Had hej phtns to elope
with Juntos been discovered?
.•■ >alighter” said Mrs. Mowbray,
"you have always been a most dutl- .
fill and obedient child. Your father t
and I have never given a command
which you have not obeyed. We or
dered you to marry Rex Charlton:
and no doubt you would have obeyed (
1 us. Hut we have changed our minds, ,
We now order you to marry Jamea (
| Bacon." Lucy gave a little gasp. It
j dais so sudden! Hut her parent* were i
• kind-hearted people, after all.
i "Very well, mother,” said the llltlq |
hypocrite, "since you and faUist; t>r-
And then she went off to find James
I —and found him on the piazza.
• "Oh, Jlptnile." said she after she
• had told him of the new orders, “what
do you suppose made them change
their minds all of a sudden?"
’This." replied James —and showed
her u telegram from a lawyer saying
that tin Uncle in South America had
1 died and loft blui something like a
million dollars. —-*-*saewwr«C
UJYell, we must act according to

I. Jesus Praying (v. S 3).
j After a Syrian of moat strenuous ef
forts, Jesus retired to a loifWy place
i to pray. Doubtless He felt the need
I of having His spiritual strength re
' erulfed. He who the duy before had
I shown His mighty power In casting
' out devils and hunlshlng disease now
I needed be alpne with God. In or
-1 dci' to do tills arose long before
' daylight. He nnd "slept a? Peter's
i house and withdrew to a solitary place
The very best timg to
I pray is In the morning when our phys
ical powers hove been renewed.
11. Found by Peter (vv. 30, 37).
| His work of the preceding day had
guide such a profound impr'-ssion that
1 the multitudes sought HlnT _Slnoe
| liie people were so aroused the (lis
glples thought that it was the oppor
tune time to press the campaign. For
that reason Peter, and peYhaps An
drew, James and John, eugerly sought
Him and told Him what the multitulles
were doing.
HI. Preaching In Other Town* (vv.
38. 39).
The great Missionary persisted in
His program despite flic success which
had attended His effort* at Taper
naum. Popularity in a given place is
not the criterion by which to deter
mine the wisdom of remaining tTiere?
He preached in their synagogues
throughout all Onlllee and cast out
demon*, for It was for this very pur
pose that He came forth from the
Heavenly Father.
IV. Jesus Heala a Leper fry. 40-49).
This deed Is highly significant. It
not only shows His mighty power nnd
divine love Imt it is symbol leal. Lep
rosy is n type of sin.
(1) It teas defiling. Tfre Toper wns
an outcast because of this defilement.
Sin banishes from the presence of
God.
(2) It was TnournMe. There was
no earn* for..leprosy. Onr.r God could
cure It. So there was Imf one remedy
for the cnneefhvtlon of gniTt—the re
moval of mnn's sin—that w Hie cross
of Christ.
(3) rt fs contagious. It spreads
from ' one to another. Segregation
waff necessary In order to keep It
from spreading: Sin Is •renfaglous.
(4) ft Is in the blood. Sin is hered
itary. •’
1. His Ornit Need 4v. 40). Tills
cairSed liim to break through all core- 1
menial regulations an. 4 cast himself
at the Savior's feet. The sinner's
grout need should cause him to break
through all harriers ami cast himself
at the foot of Jestis.
2. Ills Noquest (v. 40).
He was quite sure of Jesus' ability
to cure him. He knew quite well that
no human physician could do this hut
he was somewhat doubtful ns to His
willingness. We cun he nssured to
day, not only of Ilis ability, but His
willingness.
3. Tlie Compassionate Lord (v. 4l>.
He put forth His hand and touched
the leper. Only the divine Lord could
touch a leper and not Ire defiled. Ac
companying the touch was the declar
stlnn of His willingness to heal. No
doubt this greatly strengthened the
leper's faith but startled the people
who looked on.
4. An Inmredlate Cure fv. 42). Di
vine healing is always instantaneous
and complete. This Is the mitstand
ing difference between divine healing
and the so-called “faith heeling."
fi. His Stern Charge (vv. 43, 44).
Christ dismissed him with a strict
charge that he should not make this
known. The reason for this was that
wldj publicity would create such ex
citement as to interfere with His
preaching. Furthermore, he was still
ceremonially unclean. His going to
' the priests wttli a proper offering
I would Indicate Id* regard for the last
and customs of Moses nnd thercfQJf
I disarm prejudice.
6. Willful Disobedience (v. 4.*). In
stead of rendering grateful obedience
lie blared it alrroud and thus liindcrcd
the Lord's work. Thus We see tlm!
«w> stupid self will of one man ir.aj
i prevent many from liearlng and sooip
