II. The wise builder (vs. 24 ,25).
24. Therefore—Jesus now proceeds
to impress the truth by the urea of a
very striking illustration. Whoso-
ever beareth—See R. T. "Thoth class-
es of men hear the word. So far
they are alike. The two houses have
externally the same appearance, but
tho great day of trial shows the dif-
ference." Will liken him — "St.
Matthew, who living near the lake
had often witnessed such sudden
floods as are described, uses vigorous
lanaTage and draws the picture viv-
idly" The Jordan was annually
swiollen and became rapid and furi-
ous Everything within reach would
then be swept away. A wise man—
The truly wise man pays attention
to spiritual and eternal things. He
le a prudent man, a man of under-
standing W1to looks ahead and sees
the danger and maker, use of his
beet means of avoiding It. The
wise builder is the one who hears
and obeye the words of Christ, built
his house—His character; his soul's
interests. Bach man possesses a
house which is his absolutely, and
for which he alone is responsible.

III. The foolish builder.—ve. 26, 27.
26. Doeth them not—The foolish
man fs one who fails to do what be
knows he ought to do. He hears,
but is disobedient. The sand—The
foundation Is the principal thing.
The house on the rock stood, but the
structure on. the sand was soon un-
dermined. The one wbo says Lprd,

one tremendous storm shall beat

A profession of faith in Christ Is
insufficient (v. 21), This passings
clearly teaches that ono may em-
brace a sound creed, maintain a heli-
•gtogs profees'on, acknowledge Christ
to ba the Lord and pray to Him as
suoh, and yet laevo no part In Hlm.
See Matt. xv., 8, 9, 'retire can be uo
true devotion to God 'then the heart
is not uuited to Him.
Lille foolish builder. Ile who Ilai-
Hoaxing and knowing should bo fol-
lotvecl by doing. 'tlhla will result In
greater knowledge. A religion of pro-
fession merely will always be one of
doubt, While that of the door will
always produce a conscious assur-
ance or divine favor. ¶Lierc can be no
effectual substitute for obedience.
The tootalli builder. He who flat-
ters htmself that because he crleth
"Lord, Lord," or because lie prophe-
sloth and doeth "many wonderful
works" In the name of Chriat, her will
be saved, is represented as the fool -
Lee builder whom Christ will at last
disown, and whose house shall fall in
utter ruin,
The wise builder. He looks well
to the foundation. He builds upon the
rock. This denotes wiedom, Yoreeight
and precaution. Tho wise man leans
not to his Own understanding, but
"heareth" and • "doeth" the "say -
lags" of the wise and infallible
Teacher. This is practical piety. The
religion o1 Jesus Christ is one of
deeds, not of words merely.; a "life
of action, not of dreaming."
Obedience is h test of love. The
strongest proof that one can give
of his hove to God, is by keeping His
commandments. However high the
profession, the want of obedience af-
fords sufficient ground to question
the genuineness of ones' affection
for God. "If ye love me keep my
commandments," said the Lord. See
John Ile. a1, 24.
Obedience is a teat of relationship
to Christ. In the days of His flesh
when the Master was at one time
speaking to the people, one said un-
to Him, "Behold Thy mother
and Thyi brethren attend with-
out desiring to speak with thea"
Jesus said, "Who is MIy mother? and
who arc MY brethren ?" And stretch-
ing forth.His hand toward His dis-
ciples, He said, "Behold My mother
and My. brethren t For whosoever
shall do the will of My! Father which
le in heaven, the same is My brother,
and sister and mother," Matt. xii.

devotion to God:

25. This passage refers to the safety
and happiness of those who trust in
Christ. It le calculated to afford en-
couragement and hope in time of
trial. The Christian is exposed to
afflictions, persecutions and various
forms of Satanic assault, but he who
builds upon the Rock of Ages remains
unmoved amid the testa. God's peo-
ple have the promise of Divine gttld-
anoe and support. The infinite Fa-
ther lanite their afflictions, restricts
the operations of their enemies and
turns every curse Into a blessing.—

on their desperate flight.
At that cattle hour, in a town not
far behind the fugitives, the detec-
tives to pursuit were apprised of Pig- f
gott's intention to make a venture-
some plunge into the polar north. At
once they engaged sleds for the wild
obese that was now made necessary.
It was a bleak prospect, indeed, that
now confronted them. Tile ice was
packed o.glit fent thick on the frozen
land across which they must hasten
it Piggott was not to escape their
clutc:;ea. !1'Iie cold was intense. The
loneliness of the territory frequented
only lay trappers, Indians, and the
outpost scouts of the Canadian
mounted police, the world's most pic-
turesque and daring constabulary.
But the adventurous dash must be
made, else P.ggott was forever lost
to them. And they remembered the
relentless Mrs. P;ggott No. 1, morel-
lessly insistent upon a successful
man Smut, of which her faithless hue- .
band was the quarry—and so they
sprang into their sleds and plunged
northward in a bllszard's teeth. '
Thies began the desperate race.
It was a hot finish.
Henry Herbert Piggott pushed his
flight into the frozen north at
breakneck speed. In the rude sled
with him was the woman for whose
sako he had abandoned his. wife and
become a fugitive from justice, an
embezzler and a bigamist. In a
belt about her body were the secur-
ities stolon from the Fidelity Trust
Company of Philadelphia, a fortune
of 9500.000. If he could make good
leis esca.pe now lie and the woman
might hope to throw, their pursuers
off the scent for all time. After a
year or twp of hiding in the far
northwest they could make their way
across the arctic waters to some for-
eign country. He was rich. Once
secure from pursuit lie and the wo-
man of whom he was so madly enam-
ored might live in luxury for the
rest of their lives. But they must
first • brave the perils of the polar
land into whose solitude they,,were
being driven. Only in this way was
future eafety possible. On and on

Piggott felt that he was being fol -
Lowed and the instinctive knowledge
made his flight the swifter. IIe was
almost frozen and the woman in the
sled had a death mask for a face,
sot, rigid, stiff. But they could not
halt.
At last they reached the for north-
ern settlement of Princeton, in Boit-
Columbia, and now their halting
was not a natter of choice. Tlieymust
stop and take food and got some rest
if they were not to die • in flight.
Sho Remy Herbert Piggott paused for
Life's sake, carrying his guilty love
in his arms from 'the sled to the
warmth of the nearest house. ,
And -behind them., nearer and near-
er, unseen yet, but tireless and re-
toiute, came the officers of the law,
thea sled flying across the ice. fields,
a new and dreadful fate that was
not to be escaped even by polar
flight. They came upon the fugi-
tives just as Pigott had revived his
companion, and the two were about
to sit down to a meal. The detectives •
broke into the house and covered
Pigott with their pistols.
"Make a move and you're a dead
man 1" the leader cried.
Piggott's hand went up in the air.
Tries to hide Plunder.
But the woman. who .called herself
the second Mrs. Pigott did not aban-
don all hope even them. With a swift
spring she eluded the surrounding
officers and escaped from the room.
Her purpose was to secrete the bell
containing tate $500,000 in stolen
securities, intending to attempt
bribery of the detectives, at a later
moment. She was followed by one
of the number and found trying to
h'.de tho bolt under a mattress. He
seized her and the securities and
brought them back to the room
where his companions waited.
The -long pursuit was ended.
And now it remains for Henry
Herbert Pigott to answer to the
wife whom lie deserted In Philadel-
phia. She caused him to be chased
5,000 miles across a continent and
into the arett0 circle. Scorned love
changed into an unrelenting deter-
mination, for vengeance wee her mo-
tive. It Is her time now to triumph.
The woman who called herself the
second Mrs. Pigott exulted toe soon.
The first Mrs. Pigott has outplayed
her in the most desperate game of
modern times. rt was a case of wo-
man against woman.
And the better woman won.

Heart,
Romance in Life of Mary
Comey, an Immigrant,
Gets One -Third of His Riches
Through Compromise.
Chicago, Feb. 22.—To noire over
rom Ireland "for service" In the
States; to be accepted as a candi-
date for a housemaid by a Philadel-
phia employment agency; to go into
service with a mil,ionaire's family;
to be discharged, but to enter claim
that she was the legal wife of the
millionaire, and to have that claim
practically established by an ar-
rangement giving her dower rights
of about $1,000,000—thi•s Is the re-
maik4 1a i1:e hi.tory of Mary Comet',
or, as she is known about her hand-
some -residence ae 2549 North Eigh-
teenth etreet, "Mrs. John- Lucas,
widow of the paint king."
Just how much Mrs. Lucas will
get will not be known until Judge
Ferguson, of the Orphan's Court,
renders Itis decree, but no one esti-'
mates that it will be less than a
round million, for the estate to
wince she lays claim has greatly
!miaowed since the death of her hue -
band, nod tt is now valued at be-
tween 98,000,000 and 91,000;030.
That this romance of the last days
01 old John Duette wap so real or
that the chasm of the former maid
claiming to bo his legal wife was
so veld, none of the friends or mem-
bers 01 the family dreamed. Up to
this time they have wonted at the
eu,ggest1on that the paint manufac-
turer, recognized as a philanthro-
pist, regarded as one of the most
pious members of the church which
lie founded at Giddsborough, N. J.,
In whioli he had a conspicuous re-
servation for Sunday meetings
known as "the Lucas pow," and re-
oeived socially as 'tire head of a pro-
minent Philadelphia family, could
have called Mary Corney, his former
maid, his wife, or introduced her as' it
such.
True, his will had made an annual
provision for her, but this was in-
terpreted as merely a generous
legacy from a whimsical old man
to a faithful servant rather than
the gift to his widow.
Made Startling Discovery.
The friends of the family and the
eight sous and four daughters of
John Lucas by his first wife were
amazed when it was discovered that
Judge James C. Gordon, attorney
for Mary Lucas, had evidence shown
ing that the old millionaire really
regarded her as his wife.
In the hands of J. Burtvpod Daly,
also (attorney for Mrs. Lucas, Is
ark indorsement on a letter made
by the millionaire with reference to
an insurance policy watch lie start-
ed to take out on. behalf of the

m n:
In this he said;id•
"This
is again an evidence of what
I desire to do for you when' taken
away to the great unknown, and
with all I can do you are never
satisfied natte me or with anyone in
any capacity. All that my heart—
:a true one—thinks of doing fails. I
must, therefore, regard my ef-
forts to hold your true affections
a palpable failure."
Compromise Is Made.
There is also a letter•which Lucas
is said to have Written to his for-'
mer maid from Atlantic City. A
lot of the old man's money was put
in improvements at Atlantic City,
by 'the WAY, and it was here that be
died in August, 1901. His second
wife was with him,
"It is strange," he wrote, "that
you should at any time doubt the
truth of my affection for you and
abandon me as you did, on the fourth,
leaving me alone and disconsolate.
I forgive, but shall never forget,
and confidence once gone is hard to
r
restore. I wrote toaskto
Bator you
come dowse again; and if I should rc ld en-
gage the room at the Waverly for
you again. at .,the first of this
month. To this you did not ro-
ily. Why indulge in insulting ono
who is ever true, making me feel
more and more unhappy 'd: Hastily,
Nltlt undying loe.".
These were rvevelations of role-
tionallip which the family of the old
millionaire had never before known
and thus it is that before tato case
could bo called for a trial before
Judge Ferguson it was sud-
denly stopped with the annonnce-
ment that a compromise had been
made.
When 'Mary Corney first came to .
