'Mr. Alwade, ibere is Mellh tfli'co .k.'
As old Mil. W»l*on f>p ko thus brief
| ly. Wallace Alwade turned partly
a round facing the suiaJl, dc!i-:dte woman
who staoil Imt partially revealed in the
Bhadows of the long', low-roofud sban

For one instant he stood gtzing intent

creature lieforchim, then cxtearfed his
linntl, with n polite bow and pleasant
word'ot greeting.
1 tlw c>»ok.'
What a thrill shot through he heirt
lat tlie mention 11 tlio name. .As their
hands cla«pcd in tho dim firelight and
ho down into the pale Inco of the
;«hi inking figure before him, Wallace Al
wale's mind grew tiouh'ed'.
That (nee, so thin and pale with long,
injr, regretful shadows lurking in the
>iolet *>oß, toiidifd a Im*l|'forgoften
; chord in life iinclVelor heart. 'l', was but
' t dreamy reflection ot the past howev"
r.
lie remembered where lie wi»« r an#
• U'it*d »w*r wit ho ivt thinking deepiy.
It vii not mceljr that nh almost foygo'tt
eu dream would meet with Irujtion in
|t place like tin*, a dingy lumber shanty
mi the heart of the great pino wood.
A minute later the )ingle of sleigh*
, 'ells cut ihcfmsty night air.
; 'Well. Mra. Watson, I must be j
sail the lumber dealer turning toward!
.Hie door.'
i ' »Von't you «lay all, night, Mr. Al
>»adt»?' ,
Impossible, my good woman. I have
, mporlant business (O'nlfetfd to in town.
1 find that your luivlmud is managing af
'f »irs very well in the wood*. I think I
can «ifely trust bin* to go on with tho
• r» 11 lors tongues toMbe contrary, eh? 1
returned tlio rosy faced l m-artron with m
rippling luugli.
'YOU the »iotiee I havo Jveunt are nil

tssured.' - '
•Tliank you, Mr. Alwade. My hus>-
»and shall know of \om- generosity.
•Facta are stubborn thing*,' returned
Mvvado, 'Ttiojobia progressing well
under Mr. Watson's management, and I
mi only 100 glad to plac? the ciedit
where it belongs.'
Thus speaking the rich Ininbermnn loft
the room niid cntersU tho sleigl; that
stood waiting at the door.
. Speed ov r the glistening snow, un
der the tall pines, with the keen winter
air cutting like a knite, Wallace AI wade
• elt strangely invigorated at contact with
tho close ah* of the lumber shanty.
That evening, after reaching hie room
> Alwade fowiid lime lor reflection.- The
face of the cook,' pale, worn, ami
timid, haiHiteil Imn once more, like the
dim ircmo/y ot a half-forgot ten dreoui.
Wliv did he give tho vale face 1 ahinty 1
CO ok a second thought ? Simply because ]
tliiff wa? not tha Ifrsi timo he ha I aeeu
that lace. In poi.dering over the subject
Alwade came suddenly to a knowledge
why he had beeu strangely aftsctcd at
meeting Mblth.
A viaion of the long ago wis before
him. Ho stood mu'er the gaslight plead
ing lor the love of as beautiful a gtrl as
ever the srtn shone on. He could see
t{|o haughty curl of the full red lips, see
the scornful finsh of those violet eyes,"
aitd even'feci the sting of the words that
(ell from the maiden'* fps, refusing him,
laughing to acorn all Ida passionale*plead
ings; and all becauae he was but a poor
law at intent without name or fortairo irt
the worlck His hopes Wero crushed for-'
ever.- ffo went out hito tho world with
a hitter pain in hie lieatt ycf urtabfe even
to conquer the love that hat) mastered
him so utterly.
That was twelve year* ago; twelve
painful yeara to Wallace Alwade. Out
West, iinder the ahadowa of the Micbi

Wallace A)wade Stood* warming )»*
hands by tho fire. .
•She went in the night, yo«i say?'
'Yes, or early thifraorning.'
'Why rtid sho go?
'Can't say.'
'lVrliaiw she left some vford, a rtbtd or

• Not a thing.'
~'Siie must have b. en brave to daro a

•It's tjfueor, rcrjr queer,' mattered the
woman. 'Meltli aud I agreed perfectly
I can't see what cause »he had for leav

yttlwade ttwuct* liHUlottlv to depart.
As he did ao bis oyes caught sight of a
white edge of paper peering troin the
iHMier sivlo of tho dniiNKMiiij;.* Drawing
it forth, ho tunud a few lines hastily
written thereon:
'AIu. Alwawc— When J met you to

remain another day ttuder this roof.—
Mei.tjua.'
There wan not the slightest ehie In Ibis
brief note lo guide his steps. There were
lew settlers iu the wood*, however,
and lie toll t lint it would be an easy mat -
ler to discover tho wlicreaborrls of the
misMiig woman.
Once more tho outside, the winter nil
touched his cheeks with icy fingers, nut)
ffshifttilev convulsed his frame as he
'thought of poor lilile helpless taellhn, ex

soon filled the road so, that AlwudeV

•Ugh! what a frarfut night wo arc

strove to peer ahead through the blind-'

shelter?' Tho thought scut aeliiU'to liis
heart.
Oil and on tho horses founder® 1, tho
drifts growing deeper, the siorin fiercer

The wind rose to a gHo, hurling fhc
snow in sheeted masses through the air,
while the gloom of approaching nighi
settled down npou the forest.
'So late?' ho muttered. •] did not

Now I'm in a frx, to be sure.
His horse*,- Mrnsgling in a deeper
drift than uknftl, came to * sodden halt.

truth suddenly flushed upon him. -*■-
'(see; I've lost the main itoad, some
how, and this is one of the many log
ging tracks,' mused the lumberman,-for
getting Meltha for the time, under the
difficulties of bis own situation.
Night was setting lit rapidly. The

" The question wliit Paul mount ttjr liis

•for years been- the puzz'e and the tli?me
of tlieologiatift. Sbme have thought it
weak eye*, othtrs, baUHiess.'Othert*, lame
ues-s, gout, stammering, nmtilntioh, or
;otlnr bodily nfflSction*. At a recent
{conference of Ifciptut clergy New
Jersey, the whole auhjiet was discussed;
wid the coiifhiaion reached that it was
ntal i.fflic'ion whteli ho endurW for
3the sake ol l>is religion, tibme however,
■'.argued that it was a brand on lim fore
head or hand, as a token of fidelity, just
as the Indian Brahiuiow burti a sign of
their deity upon- their forehead. One
member said that a Chitago minister
preached a sermon to provu that it was
soruH bodily infirmity, because all great
preachers were afflicted in (hat way.
Even in tbis age, be said, "Beecher has
