Barnes listened at the door until he
heard the waiter, clattering down the
stairway, and. then went, swiftly down
the hall to No. SO. ' Mr. Prosser was
sleeping just as soundly and as re
eoundlngly as at midnight! ' 1
uBy gadT he muttered, half -aloud.
Everything was as clear as day to him
now. , Bolting . into . his own room, he
closed jthe: door and stood stockstill
for .many minutes, trying to picture
the scene in the cottage. 5
He found a letter in his box when
be went downstairs after stuffing the
tin Tox deep into his pocket. Before
he silt the - envelope he knew that
Sprouse was the writer. The message
was brief:
v "After due consideration, I feel that
It would be a mistake for you to aban
don your present duties at this time.
It might be misunderstood. Stick to
the company . until , something better
turns up. With this thought in view I
withdraw the two days' limit men
tioned recently to you, and extend the
time to one week. Yours very truly,
"J. H. WILSON."
Gad, the fellow thinks of every
thing, saii Barnes to himself. "He
Is positively uncanny."
He read between the lines, and saw
there a distinct warning. . It had not
occurred to him that his plan to leave
for New York that day with Miss Cam
eron might be attended by disastrous
results. . , '
But the Jewels? What of them? He
could not go gallivanting about the
country With a half million dollars'
worth of . precious stones in his posses
sion.'. - . . .. . ' . . .
He spent the early part of the fore
noon In wandering nervously about
jewels were locked in his pack up
stairs. He went up to his room half
dozen times - and almost instantly
walked down again, after satisfying
himself that the pack had not i been
rifled.
For the next three days and nights
rehearsals were - in. full swing, with
scarcely a moment's let-up. And so
the time crept by, up to the night of
the performance. Miss Cameron re
mained, in ignorance, of the close prox
imity of the jewels, and the police of
Crowndale remained in even denser
ignorance as to the whereabouts of
the man who robbed Mr. Hasselwein
of all his spare cash and an excellent
gold watch.
No time was lost by the countess in
getting 'word to her compatriots in
New York. Barnes jiosted a dozen let
ters for her ; each contained the tid
ings of her safety and the assurance
that she would soon follow in' person.
" Those three days and nights were
full of Joy -and enchantment for
Barnes. He actually debased himself
by wishing that the Rushcroft com
pany might find It imperative to go on
rehearsing for weeks In that dim, en
chanted temple.
He sat for hours In one of the most
uncomfortable seats he had ever
known, devouring with hungry eyes
the shadowy, interested face so close
to his own and never tired.
On the ' afternoon of the dress re
hearsal he led her, after an hour of
almost insupportable repression, to
the rear of the auditorium. Dropping
into the seat ' beside her he blurted
out almost in anguish :
I can't stand it any lnger. I can
not be near you without why, I I
well, it is more than I can struggle
against, that's all. You've either got
to send me away altogether oror

silent and rigid, looking straight be
fore her. "Is it hopeless?" he went
on at last, huskily. "Must I ask your
forgiveness for my presumption and
and go away from you?"
She turned to him and laid her hand
upon his arm.
"Am I not like other women? Why-
should I forgive you for loving me?

Tommy Gray rushed back with the

known to Mr, Rushcroft he Informed

gold mine, and that never in all his
career had be known a season to start
off so auspiciously as this one.
Three days later Barnes and "Miss
Jones" said farewell to the strollers
and boarded a day train for New York
city. They left the company in a con
dition of prosperity. The show was
averaging two hundred dollars nightly
and Mr. Rushcroft was already book
ing return engagements for the early
fall.. He was looking forward to a
tour of Europe at the close of the war.
Barnes sister, Mrs. Courtney, met
them at the Grand Central terminal.
It's now a quarter to five," said
Barnes after the greeting and presen
tation. "Drop me at the Fifth Avenue
bank, Edith. I want to leave some
thing in my safety box downstairs.

Then he. came swiftly back to the
outstretched arms, of the exile. ; t
"A very brief New "-York engage

knew not how long afterward. ' Her
head was pressed against his shoulder,
her eyes were closed, her lips parted
in the ecstasy of passion. ;
"Yes," she nreathed, so faintly that
he barely heard the strongest word
ever put into the language of man.
Half an hour later he was speeding
down the avenue in a taxi. His blood
was singing, his heart was bursting
with joy his head was light, for the
feel of her was still in his arms, the
voice of her. in his enraptured .ears. ;

clothes, and there was not a woman
In all New York, young 'or old, who
would have denied hint; 'a second

Later on in the evening three of the
countess friends arrived at the Court
ney home to pay their' respects to their
fair compatriot and to discuss the
crown Jewels. They came and brought
with them the consoling information
that arrangements were practically
completed for the delivery of the
jewels into the custody ot the French
embassy at Washington, through
whose intervention, they , were to be
allowed to leave the United States
without the formalities usually ob
served in cases of suspected smug
gling. Upon the arrival in America of
trusted messengers from Paris, headed
by no less a personage than the am
bassador himself, the imperial treas
ure was to pass into hands that would
carry it safely to France. Prince Se
bastian, still in Halifax, had been ap
prised by telegraph of the recovery of
the jewels, and was expected to sail
for England by the earliest steamer.
And while the visitors at the Court
ney house were lifting .their glasses
to toast the prince they loved, and, in
turn, the beautiful cousin, who had
braved so much and fared so luckily,
and the, tall wayfarer who had come
into her life, a small man was stoop

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 19
JE8U8 IN PETER'S HOME.
LESSON TEXT Mark 1:29-39.
GOLDEN TEXT Jesus said unto him.
this day Is salvation come . to this house.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL Matt. 8:14-
17; Luke 4:38-44.
I. Healing of Simon's Wife's Mother
(vv, 29-31). ' ; --7-- -:;,- ; . . ,
1; A loved one 111 (v. 30). From the
synagogue. Jesus with James and John
went to the home of Peter and Andrew
where he f, onnd Peter's mother-in-law
prostrate with a- burning fever. Among
the closest followers, there are suffer
ing ones and anxious and burdened
hearts; but tOT.all ' ; such he comes with
loving sympathy and power to help.
His power is the same in the quietude
of the home as In the .public meeting
place. ."'.-.
2. They tell him of her (v. 31). -This
was the proper thing to do. We should
bring to our Saviour's attention those
of our families who have need, of both
bodily and spiritual healing.
3. He healed her (v. 31). "He came
and took her by the band and lifted
her up."; This act-showed the near
ness,: sympathetic tenderness and pow
er, of Jesus. ; At his touch the fever
departed and strength was Imparted to
her body so that she was at once able
to minister unto them.
4. She . ministered to them (v. 31).
This act shows that (1) the cure was
Instantaneous and complete. When.
Jesus heals there is no halfway busi
ness! It is the same with spiritual
healing. (2) Gneltude on the part of
the one healed. - Those s who have ex-
perlenced the healing power of Jesus
will express their gratitude in loving
service to the Lord and his 'disciples.
II. Christ's Ministry at Sunset (w.
32-34).
It became noised about that a nota
ble miracle had been wrought in Peter's
home, therefore as soon as the Sab
bath drew to a close many demon
possessed and diseased were brought
to him to be healed. If we would
have the crowds to gather today we
must be able to show that Jesus is at
work among us. Our testimony should
be backed by the healed body or soul.
Li He healed those of divers dis
eases (v..34). Jesus can heal any. dis
ease. Many of the cures spoken of to
day are temperamental, but the cures
wrought by Jesus were of all sorts.
No malady ever baffled him.
. 2. Cast oitf many devils (v. 34). The
devils obey , him. There is no record
of a demon ever disputing the author
ity of Jesus. At his command the
rendered Instant obedience.
3. Suffered not . the devils to speak
(v. 34). He bids the saved soul wit
ness of his saving power, .hut will not
allow the devils to speak In challenge
of his authority or In witness of the
truth of his deity.
III. Jesus Retires to Pray (w. 35
37). The arduous service of the day made
lt desirable to be alone with the Father
In 'prayer. Shut out from man alone
with God! How necessary the hush of
the eternal, the calm of God! There
is great need of private prayer.
IV. Preaching Throughout Galilee
(vv. 38, 39). I
He continued steadfastly to preach,
for this was his supreme business. His
miraculous works were but aids to his
testimony. Preaching the gospel ir the
chief concern of all who would follow
Jesus.
Harmony.
It is a beautiful and blessed world
we live in. i The flowers blossom in
obedience to the same law that keeps
the stars In their places. Each bird
song is an echo of the universal har
mony. It is humanity, which thrusts
discords, and false and jarring notes
Into the days. We go out into the
beautiful morning carrying our useless
loads of frets and worries, our left
over resentments and our faithless
fears. The sunshine assures us that the
world Is still moving safely In Its ap
pointed, course and God has not for
gotten us ; the birds lift their cheering
notes of rejoicing that they have found
food for the day, but we lift complain
ing voices because we have not found
provisions for years to come Our
moody spirits and jarring tempers
hurt the love on earth and In heaven.
But they hurt our own souls most of
all,-for-they put us out , of tune with
the music of the universe.
' Success.
The great highroad of human wel
fare lies along the old highway of
steadfast well-doing; and they who are
the most persistent, and work in the
truest, spirit, will invariably be the
most successful ; success treads on the
heels ofv every effort S. Smiles.
