I can see your eyea tn the moonlight, and tell, Irma." The girl caught her breath, and leaned back from hit reaching, eager arms, but they caught her and drew her close to him. When he raised his head from hers bis voice sounded husky and with a new ring of man liness. "I'm going to the colonel In the morning. I'm twenty-four, and will have my commission this year, and. by Jove, we'll be married as soon as he'll let you. Will you take thia world-wide trail with me, love?" She pushed him back from her laughingly, her eyes full of tears.

Of course it was It was long enough for two, but It was only one, really." Ted hesitated, and thought hard. "Did I only kiss you once tonlnht Irma?" he asked. "You should know." "Oh, of course, of course, I should know. Guess I do know, you sweet heart," he added fervently. "There comes the girls," whispered Irma, suddenly. "They've been down to the beach for a stroll. I think you know them all excepting Phyllis, my other cousin; the girl In yellow." Very dignified Ted looked as he stood up to face the ordeal when the flock of girls came up to them. Much he trusted to the discretion of Phyl lis, much to the memory of Phyllis, but even he was not prepared for the frank, cheery greeting he got from this new cousin of his love's "I'm ever bo pleased to met sou, Mr. Nevln; but you won't mind If I forget you, will you? I simply can't keep track of you boys nil in gray uniform. Why. I was Just telling the girl. A gray uniform followed me out Into the garden and kU: ed me without a blessed word and then vanished.

TAKE iVIY HAND." BY HENRY N. COBB. The way is dark, my Father. While the cloud Is gathering thickly o'er my head, and loud The thunders roar above me. See, I stand Like one bewildered. Father, lake my hand, And through the gloom lead safely home, Thy child. The day goes fast, my Father, and the night Is drawing darkly down. My faithless sight Sees ghostly visions. Fears, a spectral band, F.ncompass me, O Father ! take my hand, And from the night lead up to light, Thy child. The way is long, my Father, and my soul Longs for the rest and quiet of the goal; While yet I journey through this weary land, Keep me from wandering. Father, take my hand; Quickly and straight lead to heaven's gate, Thy child. The path is rough, my Father. Many a thorn Flas pierced me; and my weary feet, all torn And bleeding mark the way. Yet thy command Bids me press forward. Father, lake my hand; Then, safe and blest, lead me up to rest, Thy child, The throng is great, my Father. Many a doubt And fear and danger compass me aboui'; And foes oppress me sore. I cannot stand Or go alone. O Father, take my hand, And through the throng lead safe along, Thy child. The cross is heavy, Father, I have borne It long, and still do bear it. Lei my worn And fainting spirit rise to that blest land Where crowns are given. Faiher, take my hand, And reaching down, lead to the crown, Thy child. Before you have gained wisdom in experience you fancy the buiik of life is easiest to win by frontal attack and you smash away at it. Later on you come to . see that a flank movement is best. That is 10 say: You try to do something by di rect effort and fail. Then you turn your attention to something else, and, lo, you find that which you sought at first. For instance : You want to be happy. You try to make yourself happy. You try hard and fail. Then quit trying and conclude that happiness is not won in that way. You conclude that it is best to make others hap py. You try that and the first thing you know you are happy. It is the byproduct. In looking for something else what you want turns up. You have won by the flank movement. There's popularity. You want to be popular and you try to be. But somehow your smiles do not win. Somehow peo ple come to see that you are work ing at the popularity business. You fail. Then you conclude it is better to deserve popularity than to win it; that it is better to try to be lovable than to be lovely. Then you are popular. A woman wants to be beautiful. She follows the directions of the experts of the Sunday papers, the beauty parlors, uses face creams and cosmetics and fails. She concludes it is better to have good health and a beautiful soul. She persevers and She is beautiful. It may be so even in making money. You try to get rich quick. You fail. Then you conclude you are not cut out for a millionaire. pin. Take What Pill ?

"THE GRACIOUS ANSWER" The way is dark, my child, bui leads to light. I would not always have thee walk by sight. My dealing now thou canst not understand, 1 meant it so; but I will take thy hand, And through the gloom lead safely home My child. The day goes fast, my child. But is the night Darker to me than day ? In Me is light. Keep close to Me, and every spectral band Of fear shall vanish. I will lake thy hand, And through the night lead up to light, My child. The way is long, my child. But it shall be Not one step longer than is best for thee; And thou shall know at last, when thou shalt stand Safe at the goal, how I did take thy hand, And quick and straight lead to heaven's gate, My child. The path is rough, my child. But Oh, how sweet Will be the rest, for weary pilgrims meet. When thou shall reach the borders of that land To which I lead thee, as I take thy hand, And safe and blest with Me shall rest, My child. The throng is great, my child. But at thy side Thy Faiher walks; then be not terrified, Fori am with thee; will thy toes command To let thee freely pass; will take thy hand, And through the throng lead safe along, My child. The cross is heavy, child. Yet there was One Who bore a heavier for thee; my Son, My well-beloved. For Him bear thine, and stand With Him at last; and, from thy Father's hand, Thy cross laid down, receive a crown, My child. - Henry N. Cobb.
