ACROSS HIS PATH,

"Well, my lad, It's good to have you
back once more,."
"Thanks, Uncle Hervey; it's very
kind of you to say so."
"Are you really beticri"
"Sound as a ilium! Never felt bet
ter in my life. There Is nothing like
New Zealand air, after all."
"So I should judge!" exclaimed Sir
Hervey Ralston, a world of affection
In eye and voice, as he surveyed the
Bunburnt face before him. "Talking of
health, you don't look much amiss
yourself, Uncle Hervey; which, under
the circumstances, is not perhaps sur
prising." Sir Hervey found his sunny smile
Infectious. "Perhaps not. You will be
able to judge for yourself this evening.
There Is a function at Lady Wolver
ton's, and although 1 am sorry it oc
curs on the night of your return, 1
thought you wool 1 prefer to come."
Btifling his disappointment, Ralston
rejoined: "By all means. Undo Her
vey. I would not have you change
your plans on my account for the
world. Decides which, 1 am eager to
make the acquaintance of my future
aunt."
Sir Hervey laughed. "I never looked
at It In lhat Main before. She is
younger than you. my hoy."
"And so are yc.i In many ways," re
torted Ralston, stoutly. "You are a
generation younger than most men of
forty-five, Uncle Hervey. You know
you are."
The deprecating, almost wistful, look
called iorth by his words

aware of her knowledge, lhat their
meeting had proved no ordinary one.
For love had awakened, a love that
would never sleep again,
"I see," she said, slowly unfurling
her fad, "youf emotion Is due merely
to gratitude. Mr. Ralston, how Ions
have you been away fora England?"
The chongo of tone and subject was
not lost upon Ralston. They had been
treading on delicate ground, and,
thankful for the deviation, he replied:
"Two years this month, but it tecuis
like four I have seen and done so
much In the time."
Turning to the girl beside him. he
noted the shade of bitterness that had
crept over her face, and somehow as
he looked he knew that she was not
happy in her engagement. A wave of
pity for Sir Hervey welled up in his
heart, for the baronet Idolized hia
young betrothed.
Sir Hervey Ralston, honorable and
clear-souled himself. Incapable of s.ili
terfuge or pretense, was never ready to
Imagine evil of any shape In others.
And if during the weeks that followed
it seemed to him that Adelaide grew
more and more impassive, while a spir

phew, he strove to see no maimer of
connection.
And what about Huh?
At one and the same time had the
gates of heaven and hell been opened

ARSENIC IN 'i HE EGO.
Present In All the Part In Apprecia
ble Quantities.
Since M. Armand Qauthler establish.
ed the fact that arsenic forms one of
the elements of living organisms, the
attrition of scientists has been direct
ed towards tills question, says the
Scientific American. Among the new
researches are those of M. Gibriel Ber
I rand, and in a paper lately presented
to the Acarlemie des Sciences he brings
out the following facts: Following his
previous work upon the presence of
trsjr.ic in the organism, he thinks it
logical to admit lhat this element, like
sulphur, carbon, and phosphorus, Is
a constant element in the living cell.
Instead of being localized in certain
tissues, as Gauthler supposes, It ex
ists, on the contrary, In all tissues. If
this conclusion Is true, and If arsenic
is an clement which is necessary to
maintain existence, it should be found
In the organism at all periods of life,
In the cells of the embryo as well as
those in of the adult. It should there
fore be found In the bird's egg, where
the embryo Is obliged to accomplish
all its development without taking
from the ouuiide the smallest part of
the arsenic which Is needed. Accordin
ly he looked for arsenic In the hen's
egg, and succeeded in finding it, of
course In very minute quantities. Tue
rgs wrro obtained from chickens raised
at Paris in an Inclosed space and fed
liince they were hatched upon wheat
and debris of vegetables. Four parts
of the egg were observed separately
the shell, the shell membrane, white
and yolk.
The matter was first dried and then
attacked by a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acids, which were perfectly
pure and did not show a trace of
arsenic. To detect the arsenic he em
ployed the usual method of projecting
a hydrogen flame against a porcelain
plate, and found that all the parts of
the egg contained appreciable quanti
ties of the element, but lUo yolk is by
far the richest. Of l-20uth milligram
me, which he find on an average In
a single egg, one-half of two-thirds Is
contained in the yolk. The white has
a much less proportion. In spite of
Its small weight, the membrane con
tains about the same quantity and
sometimes more than the white. With
certain eggs It was sufficient to treat
0.15 gramme of membrane (the amount
contained In one egg) to obtain a
clear arsenic riag. These results.
which differ from those which have
been obtained hitherto, have only been
made possible by an especially j ensl-

It tells us what to lie like, but does not
tell us how we shall become like our ideal.

can say: "We

I'hilippiana, 2: 12, 13. has often been mis-undc-stood.
It says: ''Work out your own
salvation With fear and trembling, ear it
is God which worketh in you both, to will
and do of His good pleasure." To "work
out" does not mean to work info outward
expression what God puts within us, but
as it litersllv means, to "achieve for sal
vation is an achievement as well as being
at the same time a gift. Nor docs it mean
that we are to work in Paul's absence.
The possibility of working out our salva
tion rests upon the fact that God it with
in, so that can will and do of His good
pleasure. Thus, will is not an instrument
which we can turn from side to side, and
which when necessary Gorl can use: it is
ourselves acting. Th.it which God does la
not our act unless God works through our
wills.
The possibilities of such an empowered
life are divine. We need not be perfec
tionists and still believe as we ought that
Christ's grace it sufficient for us. Many
pretend to believe it, and do not live ; it.
i'hey worry, they fret, they give up. fhe
most of us seem to think that the normal
Christian life is to rise nd fall like, the
tides. Yet Paul says: "Tiler hath no
temptation befallen vou but such as it com
mon to man; but God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be temptsd above that
ye are able; hut will with the temptation
also make a way of escape, that ye may
be ah!e to hear it."
Christ within also makes all living sa
cred. We have mode sad divisions among
objectj. We have divided space into ho y
and unholy, and declared tnat God could
be found only in certain placet, which had
been consecrated. We have divided time
into holy and secular, declaring that, we
would serve God on the Sabbath and con
duct our business and amusements as we
pleased the rest of the week. We have di
vided money into two parts. We have said
that the giving of the one-tenth, or one
twentieth to God, justified us in the claim
of unlimited freedom in the disposition
of the rest. We have divided up persons,
and put a certain class of people called
priests, ministers, missionaries, upon ped
estals, declaring that the standard of con
duct for them differed from the standard
for others, and that their work was espe
cially religious.
All wrong. All space is holy, tnd the
green grass may be the chaftcel carpet and
the trees the massive pillars and the sky
the dome, if below there is a heart pray
ing in spirit and truth. All time It tacred.
The Monday should be as much devoted to
God's service as .Sunday, and the office and
the store should be as much shrines of
devotion as the closet. All money it sa
cred, and the money tpent upon the nec
essaries of life, upon business and pleasure
should be spent with eoual contciousnest
i.s upon Ihe church. All Christians hay
Christ within them, and they ahould aim
to objectify His life. There is nothing w
