''The hero of the rescue, I presuine." 1 felt the restraining pressure of her hand upon my sleeve, and her voice replied calmly, before I succeeded in finding words, "This is the gentleman who -Protect- ed me from the niob, if that is what you mean. Permit me to present Cap- tain Grant of the Queen's Rangers, Lieutenant—pardon my having already forgotten Your name." "Vortesoue," I stammered, intensely hating the necessary deception. "Ah yes—Lieutenant Fortesque of the Forty-second 13ritish Foot." We bowed coldly, neither extending a hand, the -captain twisting his inuis- tache as he continued staring at me. "Fortesque," he repeated slowly. "Fortesque; not of this garrison, I be- lieve." "No, from New York," coolly. "1 re- gret having interfered with your pro- gram." "Don't mention it; there are other ladies present, and, no doubt, your gallant act was worthy the reward; a pleasant evening, sir," and he with- drew aside, stiffly military. Eager to lose as little. as possible of the meas- ure, I swung my partner forward, catching glimpse again •of the man's face as we circled. • "Pleasant disposition;" I ventured, without meaning to be uncivil. "Oe, very," and' her eyes met mine frankly. Mut you must not quarrel with. him; that is his one specialty, You know." "Is the warning on your account, or my own?" "Both, perhaps. Captain Grant's family and mine are neighbors—or were before war intervened—and be- tween our fathers exists a life-long friendship. I could never consent to he the cause of his quarreling with anyone, and I have reason to know how quick tempered he iss' "I have little use for any man who swaggers about seeking trouble," I re- turned, as she hesitated. "It has been ray experience that there is ueually cowardthe back of such a disposition." "Not in this case," earnestly. "Cap- tain Grant's courage has beet suffi- ciently tested already, 1 warn you notto presume on your theory so far as he is concerned. I advise the safer course." "What is that?" Her eyes met mine, wailing slightly, and yet grave enough in their depths. "To let this one dance prove suffi- cient reward for your act of rescue." "You request dile?" "Oh, you must not • place the entire. burden of decision on me, sir. I can only suggest!' • 'Has Captain Grant any authority to dictate who shall be your partner?" Her lasheslifted, and then fell be- fore my gaze - "He at least assumes the power, and generally with fair sudcess. I must wet to be eibused from discuss- ing this matter further now, but—but," her voice trembled to a whisper, "I—I am sure your safety depends upon your leaving me." Astonished by these words, sudden- ly Wondering if she suspected me, scarcely comprehending what FAA meant, I stared into her face, as we circled the room. Grant stood stiffly against the wall where we left him, his eyes fastened moodily on the crowd; I realized his presence, yet my whole thought was concentrated on the girl, the strands of her hair bruiting my lips, her steps lightly fol- lowing the music, her eye downcast. 'Into the cheeks there came a flush of pink, and she glanced up to read the surprise in my face. "Do I need to say more?" "Yes, you must," I insisted, "you can never believe I would leave you be- cause of personal fear." "I did not know—at first. Now I realize it will require a higher motive to influence you; not love of life, but love of country." • I felt the closer clasp of her lingers on my guiding hand, and knew I took a deep breath of surprise. "Lean your head just a little closer," she whispered. "I—I know you, Ma- jor Lawrence, and—and I wish you well." ' How I kept to the measure I cannot imagine, for, in an instant, all my house of cards crumbled into nothing- ness. She knew me, this blue -'eyed girl; knew me; and sought to aid my mission, this daughter of a loyalist, this lady of the Blended Rose. It was inconceivable, and yet -4 fact—my name had been whispered by her lips. Suddenly she looked up laughing, as though to make alters feel that we conversed lightly. We passed Grant, even as I held my breath, almost afraid to venture with words. Yet they would not be restrained. "You certainly startled me; how do you know this? Surely we have never met before?" "I •refuse to be „questioned, elm it means nothing how I knot.—the fact "that I do should be sufficient." "Must Mistress Claiaer-" "Rather Mistress Mortimer." "Yet the captain called you Claire." "And we were children together— you can scarcely claim such familiar- ity." "I warrant you can name me." "Allen, is it not, sir?" What was it the witch did not know! This wee noguess work, surely, and Yet how could her strange knee/ledge be accounted for? Sweet as the face was, greatly ae, it had attracted me, there was nothing to awaken a throb of memory. Surely I could never have seen her before, and forgotten; that would have been impossible. The mu - ole ceased, leaving as at the farther extremity of the hall. "And now you will go?" he Allele tied eagerly. PLEASE PUBLISH MY TESTIMONIAL • So Oilier Sufferers Will Take "Fruit -a -lives" And Be Cured Gratitude — heartfelt gratitude — prompted this letter.

"I was pointed out to you by whom?" "My brother—my twin brother on the staff of General Lee." "Did you not inform me your family were loyalist,?" "Yes; it 1etrue," earnestly, her foot tapping the floor, as though annoyed at such persistent questioning. "I have a father and brother in the king's service—but one is a renegade, and 1-1—" "You are what?" "I am merely a woman; air, unable to determine whether to finally be-, conte loyalist or rebel." I looked gravely into her eyes until they fell, veiling their revelation or truth behind long lashes. "Mistress Mortimer," I murmured, bending so close to her pink ear, I felt the soft touch of her hair on my lips, "you dissemble so charmingly as to even puzzle me. But if I leave yoti now, as you request, I must first have promise of welcome again." • "Then you mean to return—a, price oner?

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES, Text of the Lesson, Num. xxii, 2-6; xx iv, 10-19—Memory Verses, Num xxiv, 12 13—Gefden Text, Jos, 1-8 Commentary by Rev. 5. M. Stearns. We ha ye come to our last lessen in the hook of Numbers, and though there is more than we can possibly consider in ono leson, in the story ot Baird( and Relearn, we must briefly call the attention of teachers to the re- fusal of Edon] to let Israel pass through their territory (xx, 14-21 and Obadiah); the de'ath of Aaron without any sickness (xx, 22-29); the victory over the Canaanites (xxi, 1-3); the peo- ple discouraged because of the way, and epeaking against God, and against Moses; therefore plagued by fiery ser- pents, but in answer to the prayer of Moses, healed by a look at a serpent of brass on a pole (xxl, 4-9). - Note our Lord's reference to this as typifying His death on the cross for our sins; made sin for us (John Hi, 14-17). As incidents we are compelled to pass by, note also the overthrow of the Amorites, and of 0g,• king of Basban (xxl, 21-35). The story of Ba- lak, king of Moab, and Balaam, the • soothsayer; 'is found in chapters exit to axle, with references in Deut. xxiii, 4-5. Josh. xiii 22; xxiv,9; Neh. • • xiii, 1, 2; Mic. vi, 5; II Pet. ii, 15; Jude 11; Rev. 11, 14. We can understand the desire of an enemy of God and His people like tbe king of Moab, to have Israel cursed; but how to understand a man like Balaam is more difficult. Ile talked with God, and God with him; he spoke of God as "the Lord my God"; the Lord put words in his mouth (xxii, 13-35; xxiii, 5-16); the Spirit of God eame upon him; he wanted to die xtlax, eivd2e)a.th of the righteous (xxill, 10; In Jude 11 a woe is pronounced upon those who follow his steps, or go in the 'way of Cain, or act like Korah. When be first mentioned Balak's pro- posal, God said to him, "Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed" (xxii, 12) and that should have settled it. His reply to Balak's princes "the Lord refuseth to give me leave to tei with you" (sell, 13) indicates that he would gladly have gone if he had been permitted. When Meek sent the sec- ond time offering his greater honors, bad he been honest in his pod words of xxii, 1S, be would not have asked the Lord about it a second time. The Lord's seeming consent to his going (xxii, 20), was simply letting him have his own way, a perverse way, as is seen in the incident following, of the angel of the Lord meeting him, and rebuking him. With this severe seeming be is allowed to proceed, but only to speak the words the Lord shall put in his mouth." Three times Balak endeavors to have him curse Israel, •and three times he utters words wbicb are full of blessing; then there is fourth message with special reference to the latter days (xxiii, 8-10, 18-24; axle, 3-0, 15.24). Our lesson portion touches only the last of these, but without referring again to chapter or verse we will note some tiaings in each. The fear of Ba- lak, his desire to. have Israel smitten, and his confession "they are too mighty for me," lead us back in thought to teeth deliverance from the bondage of Pharaoh, and" onward to their deliverance from the nations which shall gather against them at the end of time (Zeph. lit 8, 9; Joel ill, 1, 2). Balak's talk et promoting Balaam unto very great honor reminds us of our Lord's words, "How can ye be- lieve who receive honor one of anoth- er, and seek not'the honor that cometh from God only?" (John v, 44.) In Balaam's first message note how useless it is "to attempt anything. against those whom God has blessed; and concerning Israel observe that they are not reckoned among the -na- tions; therefore wben God shall judge the nations, Israel is not included, but they shall be judged with reference to their treatment of Israel (Matt. xxv, 31; Joel, 111, 2). In Balaam's second message see the faithfulness and 'unehangeableness of the Lord, and how Be can put away the' sin of Israel (and your sin and mine) that it cannot be found; and see the reference to Zeph. ill, 14 "the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil, any more." In his third message be- hold the beauty of Israel, and the glory of the kingdom, when they shall rule over their enemies. In Ilia fourth tnessage he emphasizes the words of God, and the knowledge of the Most High. The Most High always suggests the pessessor .of heaven and „earth (Gen. xiv, 19, 22). We see the star out of Jacob, the star that led the wise men, the bright and morning star of Rev. exile 16; it, 28. The scepter takes us back to Gen. xlix, 10, and onward to the glory of Shiloh when all nations shall 'gather unto Him as King of Israel, and Ring of Kings and Lord of Lords. What does your heart say to Balaanes ques- tion, "Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?" The 'qui" was needful for him, but for the believer, the song may be "I shall be like Him, I shall be forever with Him'." "When Christ who is my life shall appear, then shall I also appear with Hine in glory" (1 John lit, 1, 2; CoL, Ili, 4; I These. iv, 17), CASTOR A Por Infants and Children.
