'the sight of him gave me new life.
"You black -faced hound," I called
down angrily. "You've kept yourself
safe so far. • Now come on."

'know not. There was an empty pistol
;in my belt, and I flung it at him with
all the force of my arm. He dodged,
the weapon striking the man behind.
With a howl of rage the fellows leaped
toward us, bearing Grant on the crest
of the wave. The pistols of the Dra-
goons cracked;' three fell, blocking the

yells, cries of sudden fear, made a per

could not grasp the meaning of the
sudden panic. Who were those men
surging in through the front door,
pouring out through the library? Then
a voice roared out:
"Bedad, they're Fagin's hell -hounds,

Where had 1 heard the voice before?
I sank down, too weak to stand, my

"Only three on their feet when we

"Yes," I managed to answer, feeling
'strength enough to lift myself, and
vaguely noticing his features. "Is that

"It certainly is," cheerfully. "Duval

I was up. now, looking into their
faces, slowly grasping the situation.
"Yes," I said, feeling the necessity
of knowing. ''How did it happen?
What brought you? Washington—"
"All natural enough. Clinton got
away night before last with what was
left of his army. Left fires burning,
and made a forced march to the ships
at Sandy Hook. Left everything to
'save his troops. Washington, realiz-
ing the uselessness of holding them
(longer, sent most of his militia home,
About six miles out there, on the pike
road a half-crazy preacber named

badly frightened to tell a straight
story, but we got out of him that there
was a fight on here, and came over as
fast as, our horses would travel!" His
eyes swept the hall, "Five minutes

"But Farrell, the gird Do you
know anything about the girl?"'
'(What girl? Do you mean Claire

"Yes, her father is lying helplessly
wounded up stairs, and she.,41u$t be
with him. Eric is somewhere in the
hall, either dead or wounded. I saw
him fall just as we retreated to the
stairs." '
Farrell leaned over and called to
some one below.
"Not yet, sir," was the answer,
"Well, huntfor him. Now, we'll go
up and find Claire. Major, can you
climb the rest of the stairs? Help him,
Duval."
I experienced no great difbculty, my
strength coming hack rapidly. 'There
was -a Wounded Dragoon leaning
'against the wall, and half -way down
the hall lay another body, face down.
Without doubt this; was the guard Fa
gin had stationed there. Duval paused
to help the wounded man, but Farrell
and I moved on across the dead guard
to the open door beyond. Colonel
Mortimer, unable to move, was
propped up on his pillow, one hand
grasping a pistol. With shaking arm
he levelled it at us.
"Who are you? Quick, now!" be
quavered: "I've shot one, and I'm good
for more."
"You know me, Colonel," and Far-
rell
arrell stepped inside: "I am 'Bull' Far-'

looked at us with dull eyes, his hand
falling weakly.

SUNDAY SCHOOL;
Lesson'. IV.—Third Quarter, For
July 26, 1914.
THE ;INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Luke xix, 11-27.
Memory Verses 16, 17—Golden Text,
Matt. xxv, 21—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The introduction to this perable of
the pounds (verses 11, 12) seems to me
most unmistakably cl ear comaim ing
the postponement Of the kingdom.
They thought that it would immedi-
ately appoar,•and they had reason to I
think so, for John the Baptist and the
Lord ,"esus and the twelve : and the
seventy had all proclaimed it as at
baud (Matt. Di, 2; iv, 17; x, 7; Luke
x, l)).
The mighty works wrought by the
Lord and the twelve and the seventy
indicated the coming of the kingdom.
But when the rulers rejected the Mes-
siab, the Bing, and determined to kill
Him, that led to the unfolding of the
present Lige of a rejected Christ, a
scattered. Israe] and a postponed king-
dom until
ing-domuntil the king shall return, He
bas gone to the far country to receive
the kingdom and to return and has in-
trusted His servants with ,pounds anti
talents to use in His absence and give
an account of at His return,' and their
position in His kingdom will depend
upon their faithfulness in His absence,
That the kingdom will come' at His
return Is also plainly stated 1;1 Act,
21, cohere we read that the heavens.
have received Him until the times of
the restoration of all things of which.
the prophets have spoken.
In the story of the talents 1n Matt.
xxv, which should be studied with
this lesson, there is also an account of
the far country, the goods intrusted' to
the servents and the reckoning at the
Master's return. While in each ree-
ord we read of pounds and talents
given to His servants to use. we read
that some were wicked and slothful
and finally found their place among
the lost, so we must conclude that He
gives opportunity to all who profess
to be His servants to prove whether
they really are so or. not. No real serv-
ant of His can ever be lost, though
some may be saved as by fire and have
no, reward (John x, 28; I Cor. fit, 11-15).
In the lesson on the pounds He gave
the salmi' to each, but in that on the
talents Hegave according to their abil-
ity, unto one five, to another two, to
another one. The pound given to each
may represent the Spirit given to every
one to profit withal (I Cor. xii, 7). The
Spirit spoke wondrously throng!" Ba-
lsam, and we have no reason to doubt
that Judas Iscariot did not do wonders
like the others, yet neither were true
servants. The talents may refer to the
special' gifts of the Spirit, given vari-
ously and In different measure, as He
may see fit (I Cor. xii, S-11).
The first step is to receive the Lord
Sesus as Zaccheus 1116 and tams obtain
salvation as the free gift of God (Luke
six, 1-10; Row. vi, 23; John 1, 12; 111.
1G; Rev. xxii, 17), then, having become
a child of God, live to serve the living
and trueGodwhii
a we wait for 'Tits.
Son from heaven IT Thess. 1, 0, 10;
Tit. 'IS 11-13; Rom. v, 1, 2).
1 am continually glad tbat He has
appointed all our service, preparedall
our good works beforehand, and that
He only expects us to minister ns of
.the ability which He giveth, holding
ourselves ready for any manner of
service and wholly at His command-
ment (Bph. 11, 10; I Pet. iv, 11; I
Chron. exviil, 21),
1 am also glad that it is God who
avorketh in us both to wilt and to do
of His good pleasure, working all
things after the counsel of His own
will (Phil, 11, 13; Eph. 1, 11). Notice
In the story of tbe talents tbe servants
say "I have gained five talents more"
or "I have gained two other talents,"
while in the story of the pounds they
say "Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
pounds," or "Lord, thy pound hath
gained five pounds," recognizing that
while we work it is really God who
works, and yet He gives us the credit.
It must be the vine bearing the fruit,
else it counts for nothing (John xv, 5).
Whether the gain be five talents or two
talents, ten pounds or five mounds, the
words of approval are "Thou good sere-
ant" or "Thou good andfaithful serv-
ant" Then notice in the -recompense,
authority over ten cities or five cities.
ruler over many things, or, as we said
et the beginning of the lesson, position
In the kingdom according to faithful-
ness, reward according to work (Luke
tiv, 14; Rev. xxii, 12; 11 John 8.
In reference to taking from the un-
faithful servant "that he hath," it is
explained in Luke viii, 18. by the
words, "that which he seemeth to
bave," or as in the margin. 'thinketb
that he hath." He only seemed to be

LIVE WIRE VICTIMS.
Quickness In Rescuing Them From
Contact is Essential.
For his own benefit and that of his
comrades the scout should know bow
to avoid accidents from electricity.
The third rail is always deugerous. so'
do not touch it. Swinging wires of
any kind may, somewhere in their
course be in contact with live wires,
so they should not be touched.
A person in contact-' with a. wire or
rail . carrying an electric current will
transfer the current to the rescuer.
Therefore he must not touch the unfor-
tunate victim unless his own body 1s
thoroughly insulated. The rescuer must
act very promptly, for the danger to.
the person In contact is much increas-
ed the longer the electric current is al-
lowed
llowed to pass through his body. If
possible the rescuer should insulate
himself by covering his hands with a
mackintosh, rubber sheeting, several
thicknesses of sill: or even dry cloth.
In addition. he should if possible corn-
plete his- insulation by standing on a
dry board, a thick piece of paper or
even a dry coat. Rubber gloves and
rubber shoes or Soots are still safer,
but they cannot usually be procured
quickly.
If a live wire is under a person and
the ground is dry it will be perfectly
safe to stand on the ground and pull
him off the wire with the bare hands,
care being taken to torch only his
clothing, and this must not be wet.
i lise wire i leg on it patient may
be flipped off with safety with a dry
board or stick. In removing the live
wire from the person or the person
from the wire du this with :one tac-
tion, as rocking him to and fro en the
wire will increase shock and burn.
A live wire may be safely cut with
an as or hatchet with dry wooden
handle. The electric current may be
short circuited by dropping a crowbar
or poker on the wire. This must ue
dropped on the side from which the
eurcent is coming and not on the far-
ther side,
arther.side, as the latter will not short
circuit the current before it has passed
through the body of the person in con-
tact. Drop the metal bar; do not place
It on the wire or you will then' be made
a' part of the short circuit And receive
the current of electricity through your
body.—Froin "130y Scouts of A./Device."'
LINCOLN AND THE DRAMA.
His Liking For Tragedy and His Cu
rious Choice In "Hamlet."
Lincoln liked the, drama. ' Perhaps
if be hadnot liked it so much he would`
have lured many years longer, since
otherwise he would hardly have put
himself in Wilkes B'ooth's way on that
fatal night in April, 1865. But he
never pretended to any knowledge oe
connoisseurship whatever. Most of his
life bad been passed in a country town
—and at a time when few great actore.
ever appeared in such shall places as
Springfield, Ill.
In a sale of the autographs, prints
and playbills which belonged to the
late Douglas Taylor there is a Copy of
a letter from Lincoln to James H.
Hackett, dated Washington, Aug. 17,
1863, afterward printed in this form
for private circulation, which containd',
the following:
I have seen very littleof the drama;
Some of Shakespeare's plays I have nev-
er read, while 'others I have gone over
perhaps as frequently as any unprofes-
sional reader. - Among the latter are
"Lear," "Richard III.," "Henry VIII.,"
"Hamlet" and especially "Macbeth." I.
think the soliloquy in "Dander" commenc-
ing, "Oh, my offense is; rank," surpasses
"To bo or not to be." -.
No one but the modest Llncoln would
have gone out of his way to tell a
Shakespearean scholar that he had nev-
er read some of Shakespeare's plays.
It is interesting to see that Lincoln's
preference fixed itself npou the trage-
dies and the most serious of the his-
tories. LTis choice of "cit, my offense
is rank" over, "To be or not to he"
seems rather strange. The soliloquy is
the king's desperate bemoaning of his
perfidy nncl cruelty in murdering' his
brother. -New York Miall.

WEIRD TALE OF THE SEA.
When Death Was Cheated by s Rope's
End In a Raging Gale.
Few living men have ever looked
death so square in the face as s cer-
tain Captain Hodson, who was for
years connected with the customs
service at Honolulu. Before that he
was a shipmaster, and the remarkable
adventure oe which he was the hero
occurred while he was in command 01
a schooner that traded in the Pacific.
On this occasion the vessel was sev-
eral days out from land, in the niidst
Df the ocean, when it was overtaken
by a severe gale and thick weather.
For a time Captain Hodson tried to
keep the schooner's head up into the
wind, but the storm became so violent
that there was nothing for it but to
run before' the gale. He brought the
vessel' about and, pursued by a heavy
following sea, scudded it under almost
bare ole t thenorthward.
t poles o
The captain himself stood by the
wheel to give the helmsman diree-
tlons. The rest o.f the crew, having
made everything as secure as possible,
were crouched in the lee of the deck
house.
A flaw in the wind took the schooner
aback for a moment, and in that in-
stant a tremendous wave that was fol-

the deck house and scrambled to his
feet just in time to see' the rushing
water carry Captain iledson over-
board.
Hodson's case was as nearly hope-
less as it could well be, for 1t was, of
course, quite impossible to put out a
boat in such a sea or even to bring the
schooner about to pick him up. But at
the very moment that the catastrophe
happened the ropes that held the gait
of the foremast In place broke and let
the stick drop to the deck. One end
hying out over the side of the schoon-
er, and several broken -ropes dangled
from it. As Captain Hodson swept by
these rope ends struck him on the
bead. Instinctively be seized • one of
them and clung to it with desperation.
The schooner tore on through the
water, and her master at the end of
the dangling rope was drawn in close
under her bulwarks and dragged along
through the waves. He could not have
long withstood this sort of treatment„
for the sea beat him about fiercely and
flung him again and again against the
side of the vessel.
But presently a gust of wind .lurch-
ed the schooner well over, her lee rail
plunged beneath the water, and at the
same instant another wave picked the
captain up and tossed him sprawling
on the sloping deck. Battered as he
was, be had enough strength left to
seize the standing rigging and cling to
it, while the water poured back again
into the sea.
The helmsman' had seen Captain
Hodson swept awayto, death, as be
firmly believed, and his astonishment
at seeing him back again on deck may
be imagined. Hodson was not seri-
ouslyinjured by his experience, and
his vessel weathered the storm and
brought her cargo safe into port.—

The Gaelic Tongue.
The Gaelic language wasonce spo-
ken by a considerable number of the
human race in the British isles, the
Isle of Man, northern France and
Spain. There is evidence that the Gae-
lic branch of the Celtic breed was
widespread. For instance, it is main-,
tained by some excellent authorities
that the Cimbrl, who threatened at one
time to overwhelm Rome and who
were stopped by Marius, were of Gae-
lic speech. The ancient language is
found today in the Isle of Man, Wales,
the highlands of Scotland, western Ire-
land and in Brittany, northern France.

VVeAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, WHERE
nearly one hundred miles of Concrete
Roads have been built in the past six years,
during whi.ch':time nearly every method of
road construction has been tested, now comes
out flat-footed and adopts concrete as the road
standard.
The story is best told in the following para-
graph which has been taken from the latest
report of the Board of County Road Com-
missioners of Wayne County, Michigan.
`With the completion of Plymouth Road,
,
we h ave abandoned every other forth of con-
struction and have adopted concrete as our
standard. We feel that our experience of the
past six years warrants us in'arriving at this
determination, based on its general satisfactor-
iness and its annual cost as compared with other forms of
construction. In addition' to the economy in hauling, the
pleasure in driving and touring, and the increase` in land
valuation, the
concrete roads. of Wayne Countyhave been
the means of bringing tens of thousands of dollars, to
this locality,,.
