Death That is Gain. the transformation of a cateepillar to a butterfly we may see a type of resurrection, The caterpillar cannot. while it continues its nreseut habit of life, attain to the higher comlition of the winged insect. Eating and crawling cease before the change ie effected. It spins a cocoon or shroud round itself and lies torpid. A wonderful Menge in its structure takes place, and in due time it emerges as a 'butterfly, sailing through tho air at -will and feeding on honey. The female lays egga from which caterpillars are produced to go through the same experience. Our Lord. taught the necessity of sur- rendering earthly conditions, ceasing to live for the flesh, if we are to attain to the resurrectien state, and He pledges His word to raise all who believe in Ilim, John vi., 39-40. Every Easter morning Wo say of Our Lord,. "Death heti' no. more dominion over Him, "because He has passed out of this earthly condition where death holds sway: But Re phssed through death to at- tain to the higher condition. Ho died between two thieves but how different- ly. In Gethsemane 5Efe yielded Hitneelf absolutely to His Father's will, and af- ter that He did nothing but endure. He went quietly and patiently through the long and terrible ordeal that followed. llpheld by Jehovah He bore all the suf- fering, "the power of darkness" inflicted in almost silence. Ho spoke kindly to the thief who appealed to Him and assured him of safety "to-da,y." He also coma mended His mother to John. His ery, "My God, My God, why hest Thou forsaken Me" was about the ninth hour, just before His suffering ended. But it was quickly followed by the victorious cry, "It is finished." Then proof that it was finished to His .own satisfaction, He once more cried out, "Father, into Thy hands 1 cotnmend My Spirit." He knew He had conquered. Body, soul and Spirit Ire yielded willingly to God's will. "Lo I am come, My God, to do Thy will." "-Not My will, but Thine, be done." The thieves, ignorant and. -unwilling to die, suffered longer and died hard. Brethren, I beseech you by the mer- cies of God, present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable, unto God, -which is your reasonable service. Be not conformed to this world, but be trans. formed, by the renewing of your mind, tidal ye may prove that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Rotuma xii. 1-2. Mere Peejudice. Before beginning his morning sermon the Rev, Avery Goodsole stepped to the side of the hulpit, rested his foeceirm and elbow on the top, clasped his hands and looked slowly over the canghegatiou, "My friends," he said, "you will par- don art old' fashioned man for making what may seem to be a strange request. I have never asked the women of this church to remove their hats or bonnets when attending service here, having been inclined heretofore to agree with the Apostle Paul, whose views on that eubject you will find recorded in the eleventh chapter of his First Epistle to the Corinthians. But from Ruch know. ledge ag has filtered down to us, through tradition and otheruhoe, I am satisfied thee the women of Paul's day did not -wear the two ond three storey 'creations' of marvelous, design and architecture that seem so prevalent this spring, and his opinions •in that particular, there- fore, have no binding effect as regards the epring styles of 1009.

Then she drew nearer to the physi- elan, and whispered in his ear: "Please to bring my husband from downstairs. Go quickly!" The dying man seemed to bear the whispered words, for he ,started up again and essayed to 'meek.. But Lucie, with an almost 'fierce corumend, sent the physician from the .room before the sick mau could recover from a sudden spasm which overtook him at the moment, hhe followed the physidan to the door and closed it after him. Then, with the swif t, gliding motion of a tigress; she turned. and was by the bedside. "Go awa,yl do not touch me! I have not betrayed you! Ileip, help! Oin G odhle" She had leaned over the bed, her eyes burning fiercely, and had caught in a grip like that of a man the hands that were waving bee off. Then, with her dig. engaged hand, she was striving to pont' On his convulsed lips a drop of a liquid from a vial she held. A. more hiaeotts thing never was. The dying man fighting for the few minutes of life that were left 'him; and the beautiful girl, who could be so shy and so gentle, fightiughlke a tigress to rob him of them, "They oomeathey come!" he screamed, avoid the death that hovered over his lips. "Too late for you!" she panted!", fore. ing the vial down ou his lips. . In another instant she was standing in an attitiede of horror by the bedside, and he was lying rigid near thewaan11.

"Is there anything I can da for you? You know you have only to ask. Can- yon not speak? Do you not hear ine?" The eyes of the dying man rolled fear- fully, but he did not move.until he saw that Aubrey was nearer to him than Lucie. Then he raisea the sheet with one feeble, quivering hand, and wiped his lips -with it. "Some water, doctor, Lucie!" cried Au. brey. Quick as thought, Lucie turned to the pitcher and snatched it up. She under- stood that the poison had not penetrat. ed the mouth of the dying ma,n, and that he wished the water to wash it away. And he did mot dare- to speak until it was done. She dipped a towel. in the water, and leaned over the dying man. He pushed her away, and looked appealingly at Aubrey. The look was not understood, but. Aubrey drew Lucie back, and asked: "Do you not wish your lips wiped?" .As weli as he could, the look of mortal agony deepening on his face, Sir Charles 'nodded his head. "Shall I'do it?" queried Aubrey, at a venture. The look of joy on the upturned face was Unmistakable, and Aubrey took the moistened towel from the murderous lit- tle hands of his wife. -Gently as any wo- men he wiped the parehed lips. But Sir Charles was not satisfied. Be groped for the towel, and wiped and reed:1)6d his lips himself. Then he fix -ed his eyes on Aubrey, and gasped: "I have something to say, Send 'lite dealer away!" Aubrey sent the physician away, tell- ing him, however, to remain withirt eat.

We ean cetch an earlier train. A Blower one, it is true, but time is not so much now," he said, looking meauingly into her beautiful face. The truth was thet Lord Aubrey was falling in love with his wife, and he con- eidered nothing but how to be with her as much as possible, lately Aubrey proved that she was one woman who could be swift In getting ready tb go anywhere; for withtn, halt an hour elle stood waiting 1Q1' the car. rine. Perlectpe she was even feverishly ready; and wiles.' at lest they were seat- ed in the carriage, and it was rolling off down the road, she let her head fall break against the cushions like one who is almost exhausted. "You are tired, Lode," Aubrey said to • her, noting her action, and for the first time putting his arms around her end drawing, her to his side, "Yes," she said, nestling closer toltim, "I ant tired, but I am happy." "Happy to be away front there?" he queried, softly. There was a long pause before she answered, and, when she did, he was obliged to lean over to Nadi the low - spoken words. "Happy to be here," she said, as if afraid to utter the words. "Are you learning to love me le lite tie?" 125 aeked, drawing her closer to hint, and bending over her until his coil- ing blonde moustache swept her cheek. "If you only knew how much," she whispered. Lova Aubrey, who had laughed at love so' long, was made as happy as a child by theConfession and hie lips sought hers, and clung !there, while he pressed her to his heart. But even while he held her .so there came a clattering of hoofs behind the carriage, and Lucie broke from his em- brace and listened with a terror in her eyes that he could not see for the dark - nese. "Stop there! stop!" they heara voice ery out, and the carriage drew up instantly. . Aubrey threw open the carriage door, not noticing in his haste that Lucie Was trying to prevent hint. "What is wrong?" he demanded. "Why do we stole? Who are you?" , "Oh, miler!" was the answer, "I am sent to call you back. Your friend, the English miler, is dying, and. he begs you to return, as you value your happi- ness; Be must speak to you. He begs that you will let nothing keep you from hint." "Yes, I will return," answered Aubrey, affected by the news, ' "You -will at once?" demanded the mes- senger.' "At once." "Then I will ride back and tell hint so." He had been promised ten pounds if he would do this errand within a, given time. "Ily Lucie," said Aubrey, "we shall have to return to the hut. You heard what the man said?" ' "That terrible inn!" moaned. Lueie, It is fatal. Wait ustil daylight. Something terrible :will happen, if you return now. To turn back on the bridal tour brings misfortune." "That is a superstition," said Aubrey. "Sir Charles is dying, and I mat go to him. Go back to the inn, driver. I ani sorry, my Lucie," he said, as he taok hie seat by her again, "but I would nev- er forgive myself, it I did not go." "Yes," she said, faintly "you are right. I will be strong; and since a wo- man's presence la a solace in the face of death, I ni11 go toThim,' too," "Alit" he weed, admiringly, "that is the spirit I like in my Lucie." , "Let me see hini for one minute alone," she murmured. to herself, "and he will not speak what is on his lips. I have dared too much to lose it all now." "Did you speak, .3ny Lucie?" asked Aubrey.. "I said a 'Cheek dawn makes a, bright day.' It is 8, proverb of my ountry." CHAPTER VII. , • The ride 'up the hill back to the inn was necessarily slower than the ride down, had been; but it was all too quick for the beautiful young bride, who would have prolonged it hours hail she been able. The crisis of her life was near at hand, and in the darkness of the earriage she fought within herself for a solution of the problem of how to prevent her husband from hearing the dying words of Sir Charles. And at the same time that she was wrestlingwith this terrible problem, she was receiving and return- ing the caresses of time husband, whose lore might be turned vo hate within a few hours, How could one so young have trained herdelf to such perfect dissimulation? The Marquise de Senate might- have ans- wered, but she Was dead. Lord Hawks - hoist might have guessed, but liegtoo, was gone, How muell could Sir Charles guess or tell? Thh inn was all astir with the 'un- welded ehcRement when they reached it. Aubrey leaped. froin the carriage, snd helped Lucie to alight. The landlord earne hustling up, big with importanee.

For more than half a century a house of the Quai Conti has borne on the front a tablet with this inscription: "Historic Memor- ial. In 1783 the Emperor Napoleon Bon- aparte,, officer of artillery, on leaving the school of Brienne, lived. at thie house in the fifth story." Then follows that the tablet was placed in position by his Majesty Napoleon III. on October 14, 1858. After this great length of time it has been discovered that Napoleon never lived in the house, so the tablet has been removed. Only another instance of how our most aherished beliefs are shattered. —London Globe. Horsemen, Read This.

Every man follows rigidly the methods employed by his father and. forefathers. To very many parts of the country the old wooden plows are used. When a, man dies instead- of one of the heirs taking the whole property and paying the remaining beire for their parts the whole property is divided into as many parts as there are heirs. More than this, each separate part of the property le thus divided. Thus is a property consisted of ten acres of pasture land, eighty of vineyard and ten of grain land, and there were ten heirs, each heir would receive one acre each of grain ana pasture lanctand eight acres of vineyard. This process has been going on for a very long time, so that now in the most fertile part of Portugal the land is divided into incred- ibly small portions. . . The immediate result of this, accord- ing to the Uaited States Consular Re- ports, is that the procleht of the land is barely sufficient at best to sustain its owners. South of the River Tagus, on the other hand, there are enormous tracts of excellent land lying unused, • but it has been found impossible to in- duce the farmers of the north to move into this region and take up large hold- ings. • THE "CHAMPION" GAS and GASOLINE ENGINES ft must give Satla- faction or YOU don't pay for It. ..• SOLD ON TRIAL tbe 0411 (Imam linglne that yon231* ,:san trj befors wylltt 113.,i1,y's:n1d IIII"wwantwVa be°hfuailia; :Wed erttb it before 7.01i pay for tt.
