Amen. Death and Its Conqueror. (Robert Haddow in Presbyterian.) Following out His deliberate and care- fully formed plan, Jesus put forward more and. nore clearly before the Jew- ish leaders His claim to be the niessialt and the Son of God. Blinded by tradin tionalisun and inflamed by. eney, the leaders listened. to these claims with ever-increa.sitag rage and hatred. Silenced' in argument, their only resource lay in violence, and they laid plans to com- pass, as speedily as possible, the des- truction of One whom they regarded as a blasphemer. Jesus knew their inten- tion, and, His hour being not yet come, determined to seek safety, for the meantime, in flight. Accordingly, He re- moved with His diseiples from Jerusa- lem to Pere.ea, on the eastern side of Jordan. Mile engaged here in n busy and fruitful ministry, a message eitme to Jesus from that home in Bethany whose hospitality He had so often enjoyed and whose initiates loved and trusted Him so well, telling Him that His friend Laz- arus .was seriously ill. The reply which Jesus eent was not intended to mean that Lazarus would recover: He knew indeed that the illness would be fatal, but He knew also that death eves not its chief or ultimate purpose; rather, it was designed to afford an opportunity of revealing in a marvellous manner the glory of God's San. The death of Laz- arus must liave taken place soon after the message was delivered to Jesus; but, though He knew when it occurred, and though His heart went out in loving sympathy to the bereaved sisters, He deliberately remained for two days len- ge," in the place where He was. Then at last He set out for Bethany, . Within the stricken borne the Jewish customs conneeted with death and mounting were being obsetved. The body, wrapped in spices and linen clothes had. been laid away in the rook -hewn tomb—for the family being well-to-do had their own burial vault—and now the sisters sat each clay in their gar. limas of_ grief, while friends who heti come from Jerusalem on the other sidp of the hill, gathered about them and spoke of the goodness of the one who was gone and the rest into whielt he hail entered. From time to time, Mary or Martha would rise and *steel away from these too obtrusive comforters to weep and pray beside her brother% tomb. As Jesus and Hie aisciples drew .near Bethany they paused, while they were still outs14a. the 'village, and someone went forward and carried to the mourn - big sisters the news of their arrive!. The word cione first to Martha, and she went quiekly out and met Jesus in the nay. lIer greeting tells us of her grief. her faith that if Jesus had been there He could have healed their brother, and a deeper faith winch, while seemly dar- ittg to express itself, would set no bounds to the poever and grace of Jesus. The Maker answera in those golden words Which tell of death's diseonifiture and proclaim the victory of the Lord of Life: "I ant the resurrection and tbe life: he that believeth on me though he die yet shall he live; and whosnever liveth and believeth ()Irmo ellen never die." Thin is the heart and the clinin of the wtole wonderful story. The miraele which followed WAS but a repe- tition in :tenon of wliat Jetus bad al- ready pronahoed in warns. Here, then, we may pause and try to put in order the thoughts widen our lesson is fitted to suggest. In what sense, then, is 'Christ the con- queror of dealt? lint, bemuse Ile holds death ender Ms eontron He has the keye of death and of Hades.

He edged and glided among the crowd until he had reaehed the end of the table, and with his left eye still on the girl, listened to ,Loelcit and the two men with an intent enpres- sloe of suppressed eagerness and excite - merit, and when Lockit shouted: "Three pound nine—going, going! Ned, you've got a handy parlor maid in the future, cheep as dirt. Going, going!" Lavarick held etp a dirty pew, and evith a fitiCkly emile of assumed indifference, said: "Three pounds ten!" "Hallo!" exclaimed Lockit "here's an- other. Bravo, Undertaker! But ain't you rather premature? It's a live or, phan we're disposing of." . The roar that followed drowned a faint cry of terror that escaped the 'girne quivering lips; but Neville heard it, and his face grew pone and his eyes flashed. He pushed aside the men in front of him and stepped forward. . "Four pounds!" he mid, quietly, but Itis voice was,elear and distinct enough, though low, to be heard by all; and there was a ring in it that caused the laughter to stop suddenly and draw every eye to him. The child, after that one glance at Lavarick, had turned and hidden her face against the breast of the woman to whom she was clinging; but she moved her head and looked over her shoulder at Neville, and he caught the look of anguished entreaty in the big gray eyes. "And the young un, too! Cupid ver- sus the Undertaker and Long Ned! And four pounds! Four pounds! - No more shillings, gentlemen. We'll have pounds now.

The burlesque had died out of Lock - it' manner, and a grim seriousness had taken its place. Every man in the crowd recognized that a change had come over the spirit of the dream and that waht had begun as a piece of fun had developed into terrible earnest, "One hundred!" said Lavariek. The crowd excbanged glances of amazement, and waited breathlessly. "Has he got the money? And where did he get it?" ran round, "One hundred and fifty!" said Nev.. nine "He's got the money or he wouldn't bid. He's straight enough, th.e young un is; but where did he get it?" - "Two hundred!" dropped from Lava- ick'e lips. . Quick as a thought, Neville retorted with: "Two hundred and fifty." Limerick eased his eyes and looked at Neville with a canning suspicion. "Is it a game of bluff?" he said. "IS the young un just a -drawing me out for the fun of the thing?" An angry murmur rose. "I should recom)nend any gentleman inclined to play the, game to drop it," remarked Lockit, grimly. "We are ser - ions now. This is business, eh, boys?" .A. about of assent anise. "Oh, I'm all right," said Lavarick. "Pve got what e bid. Pm not bluffing, I'm not." Neville did not condescend to assert his solveney. . "Is the bid against me?" he asked, looking up at the ouctioneer. "If not, I claim--" "Three hundred!" broke in Lavorick. "Four!" was the sharp response from Neville. The trowd drew a long breath. "We sliell went that lututtie asylum, anyhow," remarked the wit, dryly, but no one lattnhed at the sally. "Five!" snarled Lavariek. Neville bid six. . The crowd pressed close up to the two men the excitement became fever- ish. Levarick, his face pale and. distorted, painted a moment, theft said, "Seven."

"Says her father wasn't a digger; seems as if they was just on the hunt after anything that turned up," d After a pause, and in a husky, cautious voice: eShe've got something strung round her neck, a small parcel. Seems as if she set mighty store by it, too. Wouldn't let me so much as touch it. Reckon it's valuante, eh, young un?" Neville looked up. "Leave it alone, Meth, whatever it is," he said,sternly, "And, as I told, you be- fore, don't ask her any questions," "Oh, all right," assented th.e old wo- man, sullenly. Neville got up After another pause, and, taking the candle, entered the in- ner room and looked at the child. She was sleeping thesleep of exhaustion, but even in her deathlike sleep it seemed as it she were consciouts of the packet lying on her bottom for her hands wae clasped over it as if to protect and to shield it. -. Neville looked down at her, all the tenderness and pity in his heart showing in bis blue eyes. , "She's right down pretty, ain't she?"' ithispered old Meth, in his ear. "Never see suelt 'air in all my born days. Like a—a waterfall, glint it. And soft as silltr And them black lashes. Don't often see them kind o' brows with that colored eyes.

CHAPTER III. The -night air cooled Neville Lynne's excitement somewhat, and as .he made his way over the rough, uneven ground toward his hut, walking as quickly as he could, he began to realize what he had done. He had spent his whole fortune barring a few pounds7 in buying the young girl lying across his shoulder, and he asked lihnself the question which many a man has asked upon finding him- self the purchaser of some "lot" at a sale, "What on earth shall I do with it?" Nine hundred pounds! His all! He laughed nnimly, and yet if it had to be done again he would have done it. Standing opposite that cadaverous, evil - looking face of Lavarick's, with the child's wonderful grey eyes burning their way into his own heart, he had felt that he would have bid the clothes off his back before Lavarick should have bad bee.' She lay quite motionless and inert against his heart, and Neville deemed it best to say nothing to her. He could feel her heart beating against his, and her breath coming still in frightened little pants against his neck, and once, when a digger stumbled past them, her hands' clutched Neville'p shirt spasmodicallY. The inspired idiot. who invented the copybook headings says that the truly courageous are always humane, and young Neville Lynne, with the pluck of a bulldog, possessed the tender heart of woman. They reathed the hut, and at the sound of his footstep Mrs. Meth appeared at the doorway, holding the tallow can. die above her head and peering at them. "Is that you, young un? Law's sakes alive'what yer got there? A sack o' meal?" Then, as she saw what it was, she uttered a screech and nearly drepped the candle. "Why, it's t girl! Is she dead?" "No, no!" said Neville, cheerfully. "She's worth half a dozen dead ones, aren't you, little one? She's only tired. and frightened. Now, Meth, pull your, self together," he went on, as he ear. tied the girl into the hut, "null let us have some supper." !Tut where's that yere nugget?" de - mended Meth, her eyes still on the child. "That's all right, Meth," he replied, as cheeefully as before. "You'll get your share to -morrow.

When he went in to see if any Break- fast happened to be about he found Syl- Via making the coffee and old mother Meth "tidying up," but looking over her shoulder now and again at the slim, girl- ish figure in a kind of. wonderment. Sylvia glanced round at him with her large, expressive syes.as he entered, but she said nothing, and proceeded to lay the breakfast of cold pork, Inca cakes and coffee onthe table of rough deals supported. by trestles.
