"You mean I am to joiu you again— at Elmhurst? "Is that asking too much?" "Clair," I whispered, bending to- ward her, so Peter could not overhear, "nothing shall keep me from coming, dear. I will ride back the moment my dispatches are in Arnold's hands. But tell me, 5yst., if you are not afraid of tal•ant dimself; What ii it you need me for?„ "Eric," she answered swiftly. "He has disappeared, dead or deserted. Oh, I cannot believe the last is true, It was to save his reputation that I dressed in this uniform, performed the work assigned him. I feel sure Grant knows where he is, what has become of him. I went to. him in Phiradei- Chia, but he onlyrsneefed, and 'said the ;boy had doubtless'run away.

"Mistress Claire," broke in Peter, "'some one is ridingup the road." "Yes, Peter, yes. Major, wait here! (Don't move. We will go back and meet him." I held my horse steady, although he bade an effort to follow. Voices came hack to me through the darkness- crant's loud enough to be clearly" heard, 'What, is this . you, Claire?" he' laughed gruffly. "By all the gods, I thought it must be Eric; I' never ex- pected to find you togged out in this Style. By Jove, I wish it was day light." Whatever she • replied must have "Sobered the fellow.

' In my judgment there will be richer Ricking for a Jerseyman right here at home, than with the army ie. New York." . There was a moment's silence; then ;the girl asked, a shade of horror in her voice: • "Surely, you cannot mean to ally yourself with guerillas, Captain Grant, With—with Fagin?" ' The man laughed, . but mirthlessly. "That' would be' horrible, wouldn't it? Well, personally I fail to see why ,Fagin is any more of a scoundrel than some of these other fellows in gilt epaulets. However, I've not come to that point yet. The fact is I have a 'private affair- to attend to before I leave this neighborhood. Can you guess what it is?" "I? Certainly not." "Well, you will know shortly—the ambulance ie coming." I rode my horse slowly forward, keeping at the edge of the road, until assured a sufficient distance separated us. Then I gave the restive animal a sharp touch of the spur, sending him swiftly forward. My escort would have a mile or two the start, yet that was nothing. My thoughts were not with them, or with my military duty, but reverted to the little company around the wounded man.. The bearing of the dispatch to Arnold was mere rou- tine, involving only steady riding, but the relations existing between Claire, Grant; and Eric Mortimer were full of mystery. There were connecting 'links I could not understand; nd doubt had the girl been permitted to con- clude her story I might fit it togeth- er, but as it was I was left groping in the darkness. Yet my mind tena- ciously held to its original theory as to Eric's strange disappearance—he had been betrayed by Grant, and was being held prisoner. But where? By whom? And for what purpose? I pondered' on this problem as my horse ploughed forward through the dust, my eyes unconsciously scanning the dark road. Grant could not have known that Colonel Mortimer was be- ing taken home. His meeting with the ambulance party was altogether an ac- cident. Yet I had no faith the man was out seeking British stragglers, for had lie been dispatched on such a mis- sion he would have bad at least .a squad of soldiers with him. Then what? The probability was that he was eith- er riding to' Elmhurst, or to some ren- dezvous with Fagin. Some plan had been interrupted by Clinton's sudden march, by the, British defeat at Mon- mouth, and Grant was rieking his. commission, braving the charge of de- sertion, for some private purpose. This might be love of Claire, revenge upon Eric, or possibly both combined. The latter would seem: most probable. He would use Ririe in some way to threaten the sister, to compel her to sacrificeherself. She was of a nature to do this, as was already abundantly proved by her assumption of male attire to pave Eric's reputation. My own responsibility loomed large as I reached this :conclusion, and remem- bered her appeal for help. She, also, must suspect the truth, and had turned to me as the only one capable of un- raveling the mystery. She trusted me,' loved me, I now believed—and, under God, I would prove worthy of her faith. With teeth clinched in sudden deter- mindtion I caught up with my little squad of plodding horsemen, and, with word of command, hurried them into, a sharp trot Riding ahead, boot to boot with Conroy, I thought out' a plan for ac- tion, and finally, in thegray of the morning, told him enough of the story to arouse his interest. Just before sunrise we passed Elmhurst, the great whitemansion appearing silent and deserted. There was no halting, ;al- though we turned in the saddle to look, and my eyes swept over the. troopers trotting behind us. They were 1sturdy lot, their faces bronzed from �xpostll'e� tjieir uniforms stained and duet -covered: "Regulars?" I asked, nodding back' acmes my shoulder. "Not a man but has seen two years' service," he replied, proudly. "Ham- ilton knows the troop, and he picked us out." ' 1 may need them for a bit of des- perate work." ",They'll do it, sir, never fear." "Good, sergeant; we'll ride. hard, and trust to getting fresh horses: in Philadelphia. I'll tell Arnold the story.

Her Cough Racked Her d Terribly . DR. WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP Effected A Cure. Obstinate coughs and colds yield to the greatful, soothing and healing power of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and for the racking, persistent cough, often present in consumptive cases, it will be found exceedingly beneficial and pleasant to take.

Mrs. Edward Patterson, Young's Cove Road, N.B., writes:—"I have had oc- casion to use -Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and can say that jt is certainly a good medicine. About a year ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs, and left them in a very weak state. The cough racked me terribly, and I, was in despair until a friend ad- vised me to give Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syrup a trial. I got a bottle, and before I had it half gone I found relief.

Text of the Lesson, Luke xvii, 11-19. Memory Verses, 17-19—Golden Text, Luke xvii, 18—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Before we r'onetder the 'grateful Samaritan It will be helpful to look at the Whitsuntide lesson on the reveal- ing spirit in. 1 Golf. 11, 1-10. Whether it be the Old. Testament or the New, the great truth stands that. "the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God," but what a comfort it is that the believer has reeefved the Spirit of God that he may know the things that are freely given of God. To the natural mac who bas not been born' again these things of God are all foolishness, for only the spiritual man can discern the things of the Spirit' (I Cor. ii, 11-14). The whole Bible has been written by the Spirit of God and is forever settled in heaven (II Tire., Ili, 16: Ps, axis. 80x, so that it may truly be said to be the Spirit's Bible copyrighted in heaven. He therein tells ns of the living and true God, His love' for the lost, His great salvation, His coming kingdom and glory. He also tells us of the devil as the great enemy of God and man, the father of lies, the murderer, the god of this world, who will to the last make war with the Lord and the saints, but who will finally -be sent to the lake of fire forever. As to the inability of the wisdom of this world to grasp things spiritual,' consider the revelations, of God given to the kings of Egypt and Babylon, the utter 'helplessness of all the wise men of those lands to grapple with them, and .the ease with which Joseph and' Daniel, men of God filled with the Spirit of God, solved• every difficulty. The Spirit Is ever ready to convince of sin and lead the sinner to Jesus Christ,. the Saviour. Then by Die word Fie' gives assurance of • salvation, then makes the body of the believer Hos temple. revealing Christ to him and through him, and working. in him all rite- nod -1110914000 ,)f the Lord enlaces hindered by pride, "uuuellef.or self in some form of working. No one was ever so filled with and controlled' by the Holy Spirit as the Lord Jesus Christ, and in Him the Spirit wrought perfectly and unhinder- ed (Acts x, 38). It was so in some measure :with prophets and apgstles (II Pet. i, 21; Acts i, 8; ii, 4; iv, 31; v, 32; vi, 3; vii, 55; sib, 2), and there is nothing we should so earnestly and constantly desire as to be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit, re- membering that nothing can ever bo accomplished for God by the might or power or wisdom of man, but only by. the Spirit of God (Zech. iv, 6). Turning to the regular lesson, we see our Lord on lie way, to Jerusalem. whither His face was steadfastly set, for the time was drawing near for Him to be received up, or, in other worcls, to be slain and be raised the third day (Luke ix, 22, 51). Although He and His messengers were sent primarily to the lost sheep of the. house of Israel and not to gentiles or Samaritans (Matt. x, 5, 6; xv, 24), for. the kingdom was for Israel, and He was Israel's Messiah, yet He was ever ready to bless all, and the time was. drawing near when He would be re- jected and crucified by the Jews, then the kingdom would be postponed and the gospel given to all the wqrld to gather from thence in this age of "the mystery" his body. the Church, to share with Him His kingdom and glory., As these ten lepers stood afar oft and cried, "Jesus, Master, have. mercy on us," His heart of compas- sion went out to them, and Ile sent them to the priests. which implied that their request was granted and the work was done (Luke v, 14; Matt., viii,. 4). They evidently so nnderstood It and started on their way. and as they went they were cleansed. One of the ten was so full of joy and gratitude that he at once ,turned back 'to thank his healer, and glorifying God with a loud voice fell on his face at Jesus' feet and gave Him thanks. He was a Samaritan, which seems to imply that the rest were Jews: How pathetic seems our Lord's question, "Were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine?" None to give glory to God save this stranger. Is it so still that He finds gratitude only in one out of ten? How is it with you? Leprosy was one of the emblems of Israel's national condition before God, as when Moses' hand was made lep- rous and then healed (Ex. iv, 6, 7) God would teach. Moses and Pharaoh that, though Israel was in the sight of Egypt as unclean as a nation of lepers, He could easily cleanse and deliver them. The serpent sign was to teach Moses not to fear to approach the king of Egypt, and the water of the Nile turned to blood that God would hum. ble the pride of Egypt. How happy this grateful leper must have been to hear the Lord Jesus say to him, "Arise; go thy way; thy,faith hath made thee whole." We think of His word to the penitent woman in the house of Simon, the Pharisee, "Thy sins are forgiven; * * * Thy faith bath saved thee; go in peace." Also to the woman who had been twelve years sick and growing worse, "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace" (Luke vil, 480 50 will, 48). A Complicated Case. "Groweber always looks worried. Why doesn't he think of something pleasant?" "Well, he has himself kind or whip- sawed. The only thing he thinks of with pleasure is money.
