The robbery and murder o4 Naboth
is one of the darkest of human deeds.
Failure to recognize the righteousness
of Nabotlee position, and to master his
own personal selfish desires, resulted
in this dark deed.
1. A Notable Example of the Tri-
umph of Evil (1 Slings 21;1-29),
1. Ahab's covetousness (vv.1.0).
Near the king's palace lay a plot bt
ground belonging to a simple farmer
which Ahab selfahly longer for. Na-
both, loyal to the law of God and ewer'
clsing his personal- rights, refused to
part with it, though the king• offered
h101 what itwas worth, or evlan a bai-
ter one in exchange, WW1 N �
was not a matter`of 1 r)r )' value,
of loyalty to doll and as fathers. t
doubtless would have been geiu to hem
to have complied with Ahab's desire,
for he offered its worth in money, or a
better one in exchange. .Naboth put,
prinelple before worldly gain, or even
a reputation with the king. Ahab in-
stead of conquering his selfishness•
sulkily refused to eat,
2. Jezebel's wicked i4Iot (vv. 5-10.)
When site found Ahab pouting she
took matters into her own bands. -(1)
She taunted Ahab (v. 7), A weak matt

by a woman. (2) A meek trial give
(vv. 8-18). The charge'. Ode against`
Naboth was false. They played the
hypocrite. His death was secured un.
der the pretense of justice. Jezebel
desired Naboth out of the way, so she
secured' false witnesses against him.;
(8) He was stoned to death (v. 13).
(4) Jezebel informs Ahab of Nabotk's
death, and instructs him to take pos=
session of the vineyard (vv. 14-10),
8. The doom announced (vv. 1740

MESSAGE, IN BLANK VERSE
British Prisoner of War Tells Family
That Huns Are Starving.
A British soldier, at present a
rn'lsoner of war in Germany, has
cleverly defeated the censor by seed-
ing home to bis parents a letter 0011-
tainin;g the information that the
people of Germany are in dire straits
with regard to food, The young sol-
dier wrote his letter in blank verse,
a fact which at first caused surprise
to the parents, and it was some time
before his reason for doing" so be-
canme apparent.
A sharp young cousin observed
that by reading in a downward direc-
tion the initial letters to the lines
the soldier had succeeded in convey-
ing the reassuring information that
"Germany is starving."
The communication which in it-
self Is interesting reading is as fol-'
lows:
"God bless you, nmy mother,
Every day 1 am thinking. of you.
Recollections of home sustain me,
Memories being so sweet,
Always my thoughts are of you
Nothing else Would console me,
Inspiring me to glome.

and exasperation, She grew film and
determined to return at once to her
apartments, but found, iter progress
against, the gale slower aid more diffi-
cult than she lead anticipated. Dizzy
and faint, she had Just reached tile'
stairs when a sudden lurch: three, her
violently to one side; she staggered
helplessly and Would have fallen, but
'It that instant a strong arm - was
thrown about her and .she felt herself
lifted bodily. With a sigh of relief she
turned her head towards her rescuer,
supposing him one of the officers of
the. shill, only to discover, to her
horror, that she Was in the anus of
the young Englishman, 11!s face teas
in the shadow, but the light falling on
her own face revealed her features,
and at that instant she heard a smoth-
ered exclamation,—
";Great heavens! can it be possible?"
Something in the tone startled her'
and she listened, hoping he would
speak again, 11e did not; but she
noted the tenderness with which she
was borne dowlf stairs and put in
care of the stewardess. Again she
listened eagerly for his voice, hut his
worms were brief and in an altered
tone,
During the succeeding twenty-four
hours in which Miss Carleton tossed
in misery, ope 'thought was upper-
most in her mind, to discover, it
possible, the identity of the stranger
who had come to her assist:once. The
only information obtainable, how-
ever, was that he was evidently . n
gentleman of wealth, tt•avelling alone,
and apparently with no acquaintance
on board with the exception of a
young English ofacer, She•determin-
ed, at the earliest possible moment,
to meet her mysterious reseurer and
thank him for his kindness, but was
unable to carry her plan into immed-
iate execution, Meantime, she learn-
ed that he had twice inquired for her.
On Sunday afternoon, their fourth
day out, the storm had ceased and the
weather was gradually clearing, and
Miss 'Carleton, somewhat pale but
quite herself again, came out for a
promenade. She found quite a num-
ber ofpassengers on deck, but for
some time she looked in vain for her
unknown friend. At last, after several
brisk turns, she saw hint standing at a
little distance, talkigg•,:vith the tail,
dark -eyed man whom she had seen in
conversation with Mr, Merrick. The
younger man's cap was thrown back,
revealing to Miss Carleton the fine
profile, almost classical in its beauty,
of the secretary at Fair Oaks. For a
moment her pulse throbbed wildly,
She felt a thrill of pleasure, not ming-
led with a twinge of the resentment
which she had been nursing for .the
last few days. Then she walked calm-
ly in his direction, saying to herself,—
'At least, 1 will thank hint for his
kindness. I am no love -torn peasant
maid wearing my heart upon toy
sleeve!"
She had nearly reached his side,
though he was unaware of her pres-
approached from the other side and,
ence, when the young English officer
slapping him familiarly upon the
shoulder, exclaimed,—
"Well, Mainwafing, my boy. You've
kept your sea -legs wel on this trip."
The tall, dark -eyed oust withdrew,
and Miss Carleton, utterly bewildered,
turned and slowlyretraced her steps.
Mainwaring8 What did it mean? She
heard the name distinctly, and he had
taken it as a nutter of course, reply-
ing pleasantly and quietly, as though
he hard known no other frame. The
mystery which she had thought to
solve had only deepened tenfold. She
was aroused by the cheery voice of
the captain.
• "Well, Well, Miss Carleton, glad to
see you outl I congratulate you on
your speedy recovery. How are the
ladies? a:id how is my old friend
Thointotl?"
They took a few turns up and down,
chatting pleasantly, till Miss Carleton.
looking into the face overflowing with
kindlimes and good humor, said,—
"Captain, I have a great favor to
ask of you."
"Granted, my dear lady, to the half
of my kingdom!„
"May I have your•pernmission to ex=
amine the list of cabin passengers?"
'The captain, elevated his shaggy
eyebrows mid his eyes twinkled with
merriment. A1tl 181110 2 to learn. if
some particular friend is on board, 1

me the • other night regarding your
Identity,"
"indeed?" said Miss Carleton, a
wolyd inquiry in her eyes,
"Yes; Mr. Mainwaring, the gentle-
etan conversing with Lieutenant Co-
hen over there. He and I both event
to your asistauce the other evening,
but, much to my regret, he was quick-
er than 1. He remarked to me after
he came back on deck that he had
supposed ,you were a stranger, but
that your face looked familiar. He
asked your name, and whether you
were with Mr, Thornton and his
daughter, stating that he had :net you.
Correct, '1 presume?"
''Quite so„” said Miss Carleton,
quietly. ,

esy, Miss Carleton retuymed to her ac-

is never more alonethae when sur-
rounded by a crowd of utter string-
ars, she felt at liberty to pursue her
own thoughts without interruption,
She could scarcely credit what her
own ears had 'heard or her eyes had
seen. Harold Scott Mainwaringl
What could it wean? Could it he
possible that the secretary, Having
familiarized himself with tine family
history Of the Malnwariflgs, was now
Masquerading under an assumed name
for some object of his own? 13ut she
dismissed this idea at oince. She had
assured him at Fair Oaks that she be-
lieved him incapable of anything false
or dishonorable, and she would abide
by that belief until convinced other-
wise, But if this were indeed his name
what head been his object in assuming
the role of Scott, the secretary?
Which was genuine and which assum-
ed? Who •could tell?
As if in answer to her thoughts, she
saw the- subject of them approaching.
He was alone and looking in her direc-
tion, and on reading the necognititfn
in her glance, his own face lighted
with a smile that b:ulisllea tee last
shade of resentment and suspicion
from her mind, albeit there was -a
question in her eyes which prepared
hill) in a ]treasure for her first words.
With a senile as bright as those with
which she had been accustomed to
greet him at Fair Oaks, she extended
her liend, saying, slowly,—
Mr. Mainwaring, this is indeed a
surprise!"
She watched hien closely, but there
was not the quiver of an eyelash, only
a slow, inscrutable smile, as he 101111-
ed,—
"Miss Carleton, I will add to that,
and say that this is the pleasantest sur-
prise of Illy life."
She blushed at the implied meaning
of his words, and he added,—

"I (bought I recognized your voice;

"Please do not mention it. .1lad I
dreamed who it was thus braving the
storm, t would have offered Illy assist-
ance earlier, I have not yet recover-
ed from my surprise on discovering
the identity of my fellow -passenger
that evening,"
"Indeed)" laughed Miss 'Carleton;
"my presence here is very easily ex-
plained. It is simply the result of one
of Mrs. Main:varing's numerous whites,
as she suddenly decided upon an fm -
mediate return to Engiand. 1 think,
however, that the surprise was mut-
ual,"
"Accordngly, 1 supose that mutual
explanations should! follow," be ans-
wered, lightly. Then added, more
seriously, `Miss Carleton, I am aware
that there is stuck iu any, conduct that

made clear, in the Natural course of
events; but, jf you would be at ali.hn-
terested to hear, I would greatly pre-
fer that you should have a perfect
understanding of the situation before
the facts become generally known."
"I should greatly a9948efate such a
mark of confidence," she replied,
94 agreeable to you, Miss Carleton,
let us pass around to the other side;
it is. less crowded there. My. friend
and i have two chairs, and, as he has
gone to his state-ropnl to do some
writing, we shall be In no danger of
interruption"
When comfortably seated, the young
man said, "It is a strange story which
I have to tell, but I will try not to fax
your patience too severely, One week
ago this afternoon, Miss Carleton, in
passing through the hall at Fail' Oaks,
1 accidentally overheard a portion of
your 'conversation with Mr. Whitney
as you related to hint the story or the
unfortunate love and death of my fat-
her; Harold Scott Mainwaring.'
Miss Carleton started violently, but
said nothing, and, after a slight pause,
the speaker continued,—
"My earliest recollections are of a
home to Australia, with foster -parents,
whose name it is unnecessary to men-
tion, but whose care and love for me
seem, as I now look back, to have
equalled that bestowed by natural par-
ents upon their own child. Not until
I had reached the age of fifteen years
did 1 ever hear of my own father. I
then learned that he had given me, at
birth, into the keeping 'of any foster -
parents, ,with instructions that, unless
he himself should call for me, I was
not even to know of his existence un-
til within live or six years of my maj-
ority. I learned, further, that his act-
ion in thus placing me in the hands of
others had been solely on account of
deep trouble and sorrow, of which he
wished me to know nothing until I
had reached the years of manhood.
When giving me into, their keeping he
had also given them a small packet,
containing a sealed letter, which :vas
