noted that the deed ran to Nellie

"N'o secrecy at all," Nellie replied

"It's a good buy, Elmer. I think I
*"an sell It for about two thousund
dollars profit In a year's time."
"?Are you going to move Into the
house yourself?"
"No, Elmer. I'm going to rent It."
"Well, suppose you rent It to me
for the present. It's all furnished
with my furniture, and I'll be far more
comfortable there than in that rat
trap of a Palace hotel."
"The rental will be seventy-ilve dol
lars a month, Elmer."
"You're a highway robber!"
There fell a- silence while they
looked at each other. Then : "How
goes your fight for achool trustee,
dear?" Nellie asked.
"It's a fight ? and I'm fighting.
That's all I can say. I'm making a
house-to- house canvass."
"In the new car?" He nodded.
"Better use the old tin Lizzie," she
?'ingested. "That ahlny new monster
W'H cost you votes. I heard a well

election. Lie ha.! i Qjjht on his hau.ii
He Had a Fight on His Hands and
He Fought.
and he fought. The Sunday before the
election he Invited the ?-ntire ! ijrh
school district to a barbecue. During
the barbecue he made the only public
speech of his campaign. It was a
rattling good speech and well de
livered.
As usually occurs when an un
trained speaker warms to his subject.
Rimer's oratory suddenly captivated
Klmer. Almost before he realizi ! It.
he had announced his Intent i. n of
seeking the office of mayor of IMar
citos, as an Independent candl iat<v
at the November election.
When Elmer Clarke stepped down
from the table upon which he had
made his speech, he knew he had won.
In fact, he was elected by a majority
of nineteen votes, and took office at
the next regular meeting of the board.
Meanwhile the* Pilarcitos Clarion
had Increased Its circulation by one.
Colorado Charley had subscribed for
three months, on the off-chance that
thus he might be kept In touch with
the activities of his intended victim.
As a result of his foresight, Elmer re
ceived a telegram from Doris Gate
wood on the morning of election day,
wishing him a tremendous victory and
making the prophecy that any other
Issue would be Improbable.
Klmer thought It was both kind and
considerate of her to do this; con
sequently an hour after the votes were
counted he sent her a telegram thank
ing her and announcing his victory.
Immediately she replied with a night
letter suggesting that he owed him
self a present and that It ought to
take the f??rm of another visit to I.os
Angeles.
With that suggestion Elmer was In
entire accord. He told Nellie about It
before he left and she agreed that he
ought to go. When he told her he
would probably see Doris Gatewood
ar.d her brother while there, she told
him she hoped he would see the charm
ing Miss Gatewood and that he might
enjoy ber society Immensely. As a
result of this conversation, Klmer de
parted not a little Irritated. He would
have preferred to have Nellie display
opposition to his plan.

II Bear One Another's Burdens
(v. ?).
Many are the bunions of life; bur
dens of weakness ?emptations of a
fallen nature, sorrow. suffering. and
sin. Some have n:..re temptations
than others. Since believers are in
separably hound toother. the strong
should hear the infirmities of the
wea!:. Christ is the supreme tiurden
hearer. When we bear one another's
burdens, we fulfill the law of t'hrist.
Many have Inherited the appetite for
intoxicating liquors, and the spirit
of burden hearing will move us to
make our utmost endeavor to remove
far away the temptation to strong
drink.
III. Bear Our Own Burdens (vv. H-5).
There are some burdens which can
he borne alone by the Individual. Per
sonal responsibility cannot be es
caped. In a most real sense every
man lives his life alone. Helpful as
Is sympathy, human and divine, great
ly as we need the helping hand of our
brother, the individual must live his
own life. The law of Hod which is
In harmony with the law which con
trols the Individual declares, ''The soul
that sinneth it shall die."
IV. Support Teachers of God's
Word ( vv. ??*).
It is incumbent upon those who are
taught in Cod's Word to give of their
means for the support of t lie teacher.
To repudiate this obligation is to mock
Cod (v. 7). for Cod has ordained that
they who preach the gospel shall live
of the gospel (I Cor. 0:11). The dec
laration. ?'Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall lie also reap." sets forth a
law which operates In all spheres of
life.
V. Be Earnest in Well Doing (v. 0).
The harvest is sure. Sow good seed
and patiently wait for the reward.
The same unfailing law which even
tuates In n harvest of corruption to
those who sow to the flesh will bring
life everlasting to those who sow to
the Spirit.
VI. Work for the Good of All Men
(v. 10).
The bell eve i In Christ who realizes
his freedom will have sympathies and
interests as wide as the race. While
especially endeavoring to help those
In Christ, he will be reaching out to
all men. He will be seeking to win
them to Christ. This obligation to
work for the good of all men applies
In such matters as the abolition of the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
beverages.
