In slriclncas of Interpretation these ♦cachin' s have no application to nny Inter period 1. The A* in latent Chosen (vv. 1-4). These twelve hiimhle men were chosen ami eommlssloned to carry forth the work of tin- propagation of the king dom. They were not commissioned with church truth. These twelve stood In n peculiar relation to Israel. 2. The Sphere ol Their Mission (vv. li, (1). They were to go only to Jews. They had no message for (lenflles, or even Samaritans. After Pentecost this sphere was widened. (See I.uko 24:4(1-111; Acts I :K). This would he a strange restrict ion to place il| on ministers today. «. Their Message (v. 7). ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Tills meant that Ihe promised kingdom of Israel was al hand, that Jesus Christ, the promised King, was present Htid ready to set up Ills kingdom If thy/ wore wit..*ig to have It. This differs widely from lh* message of the nthi Is tors today. After the church is ♦ ranshil'-d, Ihe same message will be taken up for a brief time by the re maining remnant. (Sec Acts 15:15-1 Horn. 11 ; Itev. 7). 4. The ,Supernatural Aullu nlicatlor. of Their Mission ('• $). They were clothed will) power to work miracles.

IRVING KING | ■ -H-+++++++4++vi"t-H-++++'rd-d-t (Corn right.) FARALONE HICKEY lived In a little shack on u lot of his own, adjoining the estate of Colonel Bald win. He kept u few liens, a cow and a coupto -of pigs; hud u garden and occasionally did odd Jobs for his mote prosperous-oeighhors. Once In every month karnlune donned an antiquated stilt of • respectable appearance and vanished for the day. On these occa sions the;’took the train for the cl-ty, 4f> allies a Way, and, upon arrival, rung a belt- of a stately mansion in a fash ionable 'street. Being admitted he was met -by an old spinster of the “laven der and old luce” variety, who said: "James 1.- James:! When are you go ing to give up your absurd Ideas and come here so live like a gentleman?'’ “Never," was the reply. “I am con tent, as I am. Where's Clara?” “.Waiting for you," sighed Elvira; nnd then came rushing Into the room a beautiful young lady of twenty-three, who threw tier arms around Faralone’s withered neck and, kissing him on both cheeks, cried out: "Oh, father!” This was the Invariable program. The fact of the matter was that James Caswell, twenty-three years be fore, upon the death of his wife at H»£ birth of their only child, had taken*- his affliction so much to heart that lie turned his daughter over to the care of his sister, Elvira, and himself sought that hermitage where for years he existed, the world forgetting, hy the world forgot. But the solitude of Mis hermitage was haunted hy two beautiful visions—the memory of rhe past happiness of his life with his udored wife and his plans for the happiness of his daughter. Why he had taken the name of Hickey he could not have told, except that he lind once had a valet of that name. Euralone wus the nickname bestowed upon him by tits neighbors because of his hermit state of life. Now, It happened that one day when Faralone pnld hl.s monthly visit to the city he was ahead of tils usual time and Elvira said: "Clara Is out. We did not expect you until an hour later. Now, James, I must talk to you. Clara must be married. She has a lot of ndmlrers, but, so far, only two real proposals. One Is from n poor young artist named Robert Carlton; the oth er from n rich man’s son. one Arthur Baldwin. Baldwin she ought to ac cept, hut, unfortunately, I really be lieve she Is In love with Carlton. That Is, she thinks she Is. He has Infatu ated tier with his romantic Ideas. But he Is poor - anil always will remain poor. Now, we don’t want Clara to marry such a man, do we?" At the name of Arthur Baldwin, Euralone had given a start. Well, did he know, by sight at least, that dash ing young man who rode almost daily by Ids hermitage on bis thoroughbred hunter. Heir to Ids father, Arthur possessed prospects of wealth and had an excellent reputation. “Does Clara dislike Baldwin?" asked Faralone. “No," replied Elvlrn, “she does not dislike him, hut—" "Well, well, we will see," said Far alone. "I will talk to her. Yes, de cidedly, she must marry Baldwin. Romantic fancies must not he per mitted to spoil the life of a young girl." When Clara appeared and had gone through her usual demonstrations of affection for her father, Faralone opened the question at once. He told Olara the whole history of his life; what he had suffered; what he had sacrificed. lie laid his commands upon her —and she consented. She only begged for time. Yes, she should have time. Bui if he could see her the wife of Arthur Baldwin, then hp could sing his “nunc dimittus" and die happy. Faralone returned to his hermitage, li. 55’'**. - ,uni> - «nd ns he sat the next luoruliig before the door of his shuck two riders came down the lane. It was old Colonel Baldwin and his -on Arthur. The colonel and Ids son dismounted at Fnralone's and asked for a drink of milk. "Tour Idea of marrying that penniless Sarah Francis is absurd," said the colonel. "We need money to take up that mortgage.” “Let us say no more about It,” re plied the young man. "I understand your financial difficulties. I have told you t will marry Miss Caswell.” All this, of course, was overheard by Faralone. The next morning the hermit appeared unexpectedly at the stately mansion in the city. "Elvtru,” said he, "send Clara here at once.” "Clarn." said Faralone, when his daughter appeared, “you will at once accept the hand of that young artist of yonrs. Arthur Baldwin is going to marry somebody etse. Anil l am go ing to take up the mortgage on the colonel's estate.” “Why. wtmt are you talking about?" cried Elvira. "Never mind." returned Faralone. “1 know—ls you don't. As soon as you are married, Clara.

Ipwfd bis regular trails over the -' tnountalntnp, storing his lookout house with supplies for the winter, ; providing himself with books and a magazines for the long, snowed-in :, period ahead. On this partieular s morning the December sky was gray i and heavy with snow. There was a " light snow covering the ground now, i. and lie would not he surprised If his t bomesvurd trip at night was aceom c panted by the howling of a wild snow- I f storm. There was a little eerie whine I rs- to the wind now with a rising note p e I that warned him. He wondered If I e he had not better go hack and warn | f the school teacher to dismiss her cliil- I s dren early In the afternoon. But she | y was already out of sight, f "She looks like a sensible girl— a a pri’lmbly's been warned about these § e mountain storms," he muttered, nnd s then dismissed her loftily from his e mind. The children had been granted a holiday because it was so near Christ s mas- -and the Hemlock Girl had gone t to the schoolhouse to decorate it for t a Christmas party, e The snowstorm came, a blinding, s swirling blizzard. How the wind did moan and screech! He bent to the a blast, was swung off the trail and e found himself floundering in a thicket e of hemlock and spruce, e "Confound the hemlock I" he roared, and into his open mouth poured a » flood of heavy flakes. A thin voice f near by sang out mockingly: “Don’t .1 waste your powder, mister. Just — B come —and —help—me!” i- "Where?” bellowed John Allen lus- Ii r tlly. ) “Over here I" sang the voice, and | they' collided.

AmV then the weight on his shoulder I was heavier and lie knew that the brave Utile girl of the hemlocks had >’ fainted. 1 In a moment the forester was alert, f He slung off the blanket roll he enr -1 ried, put the blanket on the ground ucd laid her there. Then around her I grouped the contents of his pack sc tlmt they would not he lost. Ilis b small bright lantern light showed a .small hollow filling with snow.

When i’ l-.e went to revive the Hemlock Girl e ' she was sitting up. blinking lovely l ’ eyes at the grateful warmth and J brightness. * "How wonderful It is —to come out of that terrible storm into tills warmth and (fomloft.

For dessert he gave her some sweet chocolate, and through sharing - the hardships ami making this little I shelter they became well acquainted I enough to Joke about Ihe chocolate. When he had washed all the dishes ! with snow and everything was dried * and parked tidily away, they sat and - talked until all the fury of the bit*- ’ | .srd seemed to have been expended.
