two men—Max Willard, cool and stead-
fast in his purpose; Theodore Vans
Vechten, an image of power and in-
domitability—looked long into each:
other's eyes. '
With a quick movement, Willard'&
hand slid to another part of the cas-
ket. It could be seen that he pressed
a trifle harder. The whole thing fell
apart into the shape of a davenport
lounge.
In the midst of the creamy cushions;
thus disclosed, clad in a white yacht

lightly and naturally upon her bosom,
reposed a beautiful young girl. Her
glowing hair afforded the one .mark

of the huge table's spotless napery.

may have felt, It was not betrayed by

hand swept back a lock of white hail,'
from his forehead, and again he ad-

watching him narrowly.
"For riles Carew's sake," he said,
!"a word or two oe explanation is neces-
sary. This young lady, " fully con-
versant with all the circumstances,
with a complete understanding of how
my daughter and I had been wronged,
has not only been in full sympathy
with my plans, but has lent me an
active,"material support.
"To a certain extent, however, I
have taken an unfair advantage of her
trust and confidence. .' . But
when I am through, gentlemen, I want
you to remember how desperate were
4ny chances—that I had to sink or
swim—and that I am right!"
For the first time he showed a spark
of emotion, and the last expression
was uttered in a burst of earnestness
that made manifest the intense feel-
ing lying behind it.
"She consented to disappear for ,a
time, until her family's "alarm was
such that 1 could bend it to my own
ends in making this demand; but she
did not dream that she was to appear
in such a role as this," He pointed
to the motionless form; and for a mo-
ment regarded it tenderly. "But by
the aid of a light, harmless narcotic,
the effects of which I can banish in a
moment, I brought her here toplay
this unconscious part."
Theodore. Van Vechten once more.
started toward the speaker, but a
dozen hands stayed him.
"You dastardly cur!" he cried. "I
shall give you your pound of flesh; but
—so help me God, -you'll regret this
night!"
"Heaven knows, I have regretted the
necessity, responded Willard dryly,
With one single undulating move=
ment of his powerful frame, the mil-
lionaire shook himself free.
"Get that dynamite out of here!" he
roared.
Max Willard quietly corrected him:
"'Willardite,' you mean." Stooping
over the back of the casket, he pressed
a hand gently over the soft cushions
while he seemed to consider. Pres-
ently he continued:
"But don't be afraid; there is no
;willardite here—nor any other ex-
plosive."
Like a stung lion, Theodore Van
Vechten turned upon him,
"What do you mean by that?" he
demanded.
"Simply that I have sat in at your
own game—and won, The great
American game of bluff, Theodore;
you were pretty good at it years ago
at Harvard; I have not forgotten.
"There is no explosive here—noth-
Ing to be alarmed at save this cheap
alarm -clock. There is nothing the
matter with Paige—dear child! But"
—he waved a hand—"as you bluffed
me out of a fortune, I have bluffed
myself back in again."
For a moment the Man of Iron
seemed to be choking. But at this
juncture a disturbance was heard in
the hall.
A servant entered hurriedly. Be-
fore he could make any announcement
he was flung aside. He went sliding
helplessly over the polished floor,
grasping at every object within reach,
pulling down cbairs and tables and
everything movable in the path of his
tornado-like progress, until he brought
up against the wall.
Tom Phinney was standing just in-
side the doorway, taking in the scene,
Beside him stood Mr. Flint.

been the acting spirit in getting the
scheme for restitution under way, be-
cause—until she had induced him to
do so—Max Willard had been loath to
accept his old friend Temple Bonner's
assistance.
In the beginning, the one thing clear
to all of them had been the fact that
the Man of Iron was protected by an
invulnerable legal barrier, and that if.
redress was to be obtained at all it
must be accomplished by means of
some surprising coup that would catch
'the magnate amid such conditions
that he could not refuse to accede.
Thus it was that Josephine Devereaux,
on the strength of old ties of send•
ment and friendship, had easily enlist-
ed Temple Bonner's financial aid.
' This same lady had experienced lit.
tlediffculty in winning Paige Carew's
sympathy—particularly after Paige
had met and become acquainted with
Jessie. She had consented to lend
Willard her moral support, believing
that her particieation to the plot was
to extend .no farther than a "myster-,

was svhiosed to utilize, in some indefi-

After David's return to his throne there
was a rebellion under a wicked man
named Sheba, the son of Bichrf,' but
he was overthrown and slain, and n
city was saved through the influence
of a wise woman who may be ranked
with the wise woman of Telma and
with Tae), the wife of Heber III Sam.

some of David's last words which we
may perhaps find space to consider In
connection with the record of his death
in today's lesson.
But there at'e some things which we
must notice in II Sam. xxiv, such as
the story of the thr'esking floor of
Arau'uah, theJ'ebusite, over which the
Lord stayed the hand of Ibe destroy-
ing( ang,e1,
estroying'ange1. saying, "it enough," and
which Devi( bought for fifty shekels
of silver and the wbole place, or bill
Por 1100 shekels of gold (II Sam. xxiv,
16, 24; I Oirron. xxl, 22-25). This hill
was the identical mount Moriah on
which Abraham offered up Isaac and
received him back from the dead be a
figure, and on this hill Solomon build -
ed the temple which David desired to
build, but was not permitted to, but
God gave him the plans of it and al-
lowed him to prepare abundantly for
It, See carefully these passages, 1
Ohron. xxviii, 11, 12, 19; II Chron. iii, 1.
In I Clings ii, 1.4, we have some of
the last words of David, with a few of
his words to Solomon, but mach more
fully in 1 Ohron. xxviii and xxix, with
his wonderful prayer in xxix, 10-19,.:
which we found great pleasure 'inmem-
orizing In the Bible' classes not long
ago. Oh, for a lesson on some of these
portions teeming with the riches of His
grace and glory instead of the less rest-
ful portions such as the lesson of today!
But let us notice before looking at
this lesson that Moriah and the thresh-
ing floor of Araunah or Oman, the
same bill, are strongly suggestive of.
the great atonement of the Lord Jesus,
so that the foundation of the .temple
was really the atonement. So also in
the tabernacle of Moses every board
stood on the silver which was paid. as
a ransom for their souls. The only
foundation for an individual or for the
church is the finished work of the Lord I
Jesus. In our lesson today David is
said to be old, though he was only sev-
enty (II Sam, v, 4; 1 Kings ii, 10, 11).
He is said to have died in a good old
age, full of days, riches and honor (I
Chron. xxix, 2S). Trouble seems to
have followed him all the way, and
now, at the very end, Adonijah, his
fourth son, whom he bad never dis-
pleased by even saying "Why bast tbou
done so?" (II Sam. iii, 2-5; I Rings 1, 6),
r-
uud has himself pro-
claimed
the throne P
claimed king. This stirred Nathan the
prophet, and he and Bathsheba, the
mother of Solomon. appealed to David,
with the result that Solomon was caus-
ed to ride upon King David's mule and
was anointed king instead of his fa-
ther. This caused great rejoicing. so
that the earth tent with sound thereof
and David himself said, "Blessed be
the Lord God of Israel, who hath giv-
en one to sit on my throne this day,
mine eyes even seeing it" (verses 33, 40,
48). "Then Solomon sat on the throne
of the Lord ns king instead of David,
his father, and prospered, and all Is-
rael obeyed him" (1 Chron. xxix, 23).

approaching the time when Jerusalem
,shall again be the throne of the Lord
and all nations shall be gathered unto
it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusa-
lem (Jer. iii, 17). The Lord had tolfi
David before Solomon was born that
be should be his successor and sit on
his throne (I Chron. xxii, 7-9), and so
it came to pass, for in some way or
other every purpose of the Lord shall
be performed (Jer, 11, 29). I have in
.mind always in this connection Ps.
xesiii, 10, 11; Isis. siv, 24, and find
great rest in such assurances. 11 the
affections of all true believers were as
fully set upon the building of the
church and the bringing back of the
king to set up Ells kingdom and we
were as ready to prepare with all our
might, as was David, for the temple
(I Chron. xxix, 2, 3), how the mission
treasuries would overflow with funds
to help give the gospel to every cree-
ture, and what a great company would
be heard saying. "Here am I; send.
e
me!" (lsn. vi S,) wend to remem-
ber that God tries the heart and has
pleasure in uprightness and that in His
hand are power and might and that all
things come of Him (1 Chron. xxix,
12, 14, 17).
In the last words of David in II. Sam.
xxiii, 1-5, he was filled with thoughts of
all that God had done for him in taking
him from his flocks to be king over Is-
rael, and how n11 that he had written
!rad' been given to him by the holy
Spirit. Ile was conscious of his fail•
tires, but rejoiced in the faithfulness
of God, and In the everlasting covenant
ordered iu all things and sure. He ever
looked.onward to the Christ who would
sit upon His throne end rule righteous-
ly and to the morning when Ile would

The New Wool Clip
This season's wool clip is now ready
for the market and while• it is not as
heavy as it ought to be, the price will
make up somewhat for the shortage.
A few years ago nearly every enter-
prising farmer in Ontario raised a
flock of sheep and they were not
only profitable, but supplemented the
bank account at a season of the year
when stoney was scarce with the
farmer. Then Canada had over one
hundred woollen mills in operation,
and Mary's little lamb had her right-
ful place in the domestic economy. The
farmers joined in the general hue and
cry for cheap woollen underwear, which
the mills in the old country were able to
furnish, because labor was cheaper and
Canada admitted the goods at a special
low rate of duty and in due time'the
mills in Canada dropped out of business
one after another till only a few sur
vived. Then the wool dropped in price
the farmers sold their flocks to the
butchers and the ba -a of the sheep went
out forever fromh ill
t e hills and valleys
of Ontario. Men who gave attention
to sheep raising said that it paid the
farmer to have a sheep to every acre,
for two reasons: the clip of wool was
ready for market when the farmer has;
nothing else to sell and sheep were
natural scavengers to keep the land free
from weeds.
The leading buyers in Ontario astir
nate this year's clip at abour two
million pounds. The opening price for
unwashed is from 25c to 30c a pound
and for washed 35 to 40 cents a pound.
Owing to the demand for wool the price
is 40 per cenr higher than last year
Some of these days the farmers may
give Mary's lamb another chance to
add to thee profits,

There can be no doubt of the import-
ance of tobacco in the present crisis.
Even those who oppose its use as a mat-
ter of principle will admit this. Tobacco
has played its part in every war, from
Waterloo to the Balkans, It is playing
a tremendous part in this the greatest
war of history. Tobacco is a solace and
has won and lost battles. It is stated
that smokers are far more immune than
non smokers to "occipital cramps" and
other neurasthenic ailments caused by
the terrible ordeal of shell fire.
Strange as it may seem, there is a
greater consumption of tobacco by those
who have nothing to do with war. • The
war throughout the world has stimulated
men, who, roused from the humdrum of
their regular lives, consume more tobacco
when such an excitement as a great war
is on. The consumption is greater now
because this war touches more men than
any war since history began.
Nothing is better than tobacco to re-
lieve the necessary odium of convales-
cense when the soldier, too weak as yet
for anactive physical employment oyment finds
the time hangs heavy on his hands.
Further no greater act of charity could
be performed than the sending of tobacco
to prisoners whose life at the best can
scarcely be considered one of pleasure.
In short those who know ani'm about
men under nervous tension, k now that
tobacco is even more of a necessity than
food. It is to be hoped that the public
will think generously of this matter.
