An Up to Date
Medieval Tale
By RUTH GRAHAM`'
I, am a wireless telegraph operate
n charge of a station eltuated on a
onely const. I have uu assistant who
takes my place at night for a week
then I take the night and give flim
the day. There are one or two others
connected with the station who are not
operators. One of these is a fine chess
player, and having lihn with me en-
abled me to while away many an hour
when I had nothing to do. I
Now, what 1 am going to relate I
don't ask any one to believe I should
certainly not believe it myself if any
one told it to meas a bona fide expe-
rience. I. do not say that 1 didn't
dream it; that 1 did not experience it
when unconscious. 1 make no expla-
nation whatever. That you are at
liberty to do for yourself. I only as-
sert that to me it was an actual occur-
rence.
One night when I was on duty alone
I amused myself when not sending or
receiving a message working out soli-
taire problems on the chessboard
Presently I heard a footfall behind me,
and a man stepped into the operating
room. The moment he did so I heard
the sound of distant thunder.
"We're' going to have a storm," • he
said "I prefer spending the time
while it lasts in here than outside if
you don't mind."
I assured him that he was welcome,
though I confess he was not. I did
not, like bis looks; there was a sinister
expression on his face: There was no
one within call, and 'I rather objected
to being alone with him.
"I see you play chess," he said. "I'm
very fond of it myself. We might
have a game while waiting for the
storm to be over.
"Are you not afraid to be in an elec-
trical place like this in a thunder-
storm?" I asked.
"I afraid? What is there 'to be
afaid of?"
"A. bolt."
"A bolt!" sneeringly. "Young man,
do you know what electricity is? No?
Well, I have always known what it
Is. Perhaps you think this towering
affair of yours something wonderful.
It's very -clumsy. But I'll admit it's
an improvement on the old system of
wires. You don't feel the electric
waves rolling around the globe, do
you? I do. They are dashing against
me all the while."
This is a bad go, I thought -alone
with a madman; a storm coming on.
'There only remains to get an "S 0 S"
call to make the situation diabolical.
"Come," said the stranger, taking a
seat facing me and pulling the chess-
board partly on his knees, "let's have a
game."
A vivid flash of lightning and a si-
multaneous crash sent a thrill of hot,
ror through me, but seemed to have no
more effect on the stranger than if
some one had struck a 'note on a mu-
sical instrument. I feared for tbe ap-
paratus towering over our heads. My
visitor, having placed the men, moved
a pawn. I was too bewildered to play.
I did not touch apiece.
"Come, come, ilfr. Operator," said the
stranger. "Don't be rattled by a little
thing like that. You'll get something
more exciting before long. There's a
ship out there only about a hundred
miles. She's running at full speed into
a mist. But the lookout doesn't see
it; he's asleep. If you wish to know
who made him doze, I did. I put the
steamship company up to trying to get
on with a reduced Poice. That did the
business. Check t"
I suppose I had played mechanically
and without knowing it, for the word
"Check!" woke me up to tbe fact that
my pieces as well as the stranger's
had left their original places, and, col-
lecting my rattled faculties, I took in
the situation, which was that my king
was in check.
I doubt. if there is anything except
chess that under the circumstances
would have kept mei faculties absorb-
ed. I have a passion for chess prob-
lems, and despite the storm and the
disagreeable expression on the man's
face I entered into the game with all
my mind. I soon got my king out of
check, but in another moment he was
checked again. I heard the instru-
ment click, but at the moment saw a
chance' to checkmate my antagonist,
and, fearing the combinations would
leave me, if I delayed, I went on with,.
my moves. But my antagonist elud-
ed me, and I was brought upwith an-
other "Check!"
It was evident that I was in a hole
that would require all my brain power
to get me out of, and, though Iwas ,con.
seious'of the rattling of the instrument,
I did snot know what was being trans-
mitted I got out of this hole only to
be led into another, with an occasional
chance to checkmate my antagonist,
such opportunities always ening in
failure.
Then came a break, and the next
thing I knew I was lying on the floor
and my assistant at the instrument.
The stranger had gone.
"What's the matter?" I asked'.
"Matter! Why, there bas been an
'S 0 S' call rattling on the key for
more than an hour, The Alutia of the
Blue Ancbor line has strucle an ice-
berg and gone down with all on board.
This Is her nearest station and the
only one she could reach." •
I relapsed into an unconsciousness.
from which I did not emerge for some.

had been struck by lightning.. Was the
stranger e dream or a reality?

clear and full, "He shewed Hiulsell
alive after His passion by many !n'
fallible proofs, being seen of ellen) fol •
ty days and speaking of the things
pertaining to the Kingdom of God."
He1
a ways shewed Himself IJohii
xis, 1, 14), and this is our need -to
see no man any more save Jesus only
(Mark ix, 8), He showed Himself alive,
and we must live as if we really be•
lieved that our great High Priest is
alive forevermore and bas all power
in heaven and on -earth.,
He always, spoke of the Kingdom,
both in His earthly life and until His
ascension, and there is nothing so im
portant as the coming of His Kingdom,
which if we seek first He has assured
us of all other things that we need:
(Matt. vi, 331. This appearance of our
lesson in Matthew may have been to
the eleven only, or it may have been
the same ns when He wits seen by
over 500 at once (I Cora xv, 15;. From
the fact that some doubted it would
seem to have included the latter, for
surely the eleven had ceased doubtiug
ere this. There was another most in•
teresting appearance -in Galilee to sev-
en of the disciples after their night
of
fruitless toil
on the lake, when He
provided breakfast for them, tipart
from their labors, and also tilled their
net with 153 gtetlt fishes. It was then
that He asked Peter the thrice repeat•
ed question, "Lovest thou me?" spe
ciaily commissioned him and foretold
his martyrdom (John xxl. 1.241.
Before His crucifixion His instruc-
tions to the disciples were to go neither
to gentiles nor Samaritans, but rather
to Israel. but now that Israel hacl.de-
cidedly rejected Him and' in cutting
Elim otE' bad also cut thetnselves of
from all privileges as a elution till He
shall come again tbe instructions are
different. The messengers are to go
to all nations and gutber to Him dis-
ciples. They are to go into alt the
world and preach the gospel to every,.
creature; they are to preach repentance
and remission of sins in His name
among all nations, beginning at Jeru-
salem, but they were to watt at Jeru-
salem '(these first messengers) until
they should receive the necessary pow-
er to do this in the form of a special
enduement of power by the Holy Spir-
it, for He would .be sent to bear wit-
ness to a crucified,; risen, rejected,. as-
cended Christ, to gather unto Elim a
people for His name. who by a special
training in this age would be fitted
to reign with ]grin in the next age,
when He shall come again to set up
His 'kingdom of righteousness and
peace (verse 19: Mark xvl, 15; Luke
xxiv, 45-49; Acts xv, 18-18; Isa.
xxxll. 1, 171.
There is nothing whatever In their
commission about subduing the world
or winning the world to Christ or re-
forming or uplifting the race, but sim-
ply to do as Paul tells us he did -'de-
termine not to know anything brit
Jesus Christ and Him crucified; to
preach the gospel that Christ died for
our sins according to the Scriptures,
that He was buried and that He rose
again the third day according to the.
Scriptures; to so preach_ as by all
means to save some; to be ready to
preach the gospel anywhere as debtor
to all and never ashamed of it; to
preach the kingdom of God and teach
those things which concern the Lord
Jesus Christ, knowing that some will
believe and some : believe not; to turn
people from idols to God; to serve the
livingand true Glad and to wait for
His from Heaven; to speak always
not as pleasing men, but God, who
trieth our hearts (I Cor, ii, 2; ix, 22;
xv, 3, 4; Rom. 1, 1410; Acts xxviii, 23,
24, 31; I Thess. 1, 9, 10; ii, 4; II Tim.
11, 15). Our responsibility is to be
faithful witnesses, believing all things
written in the law of Moses and in the
prophets and the Psalms concerning
Him, quite sure that His Word will
not return to Him void, but always
accomplish all His pleasure (verse 44;
Isa. lv, 11).
Whether we see much or little or
not any present results of our sowing,
we can leave that all to flim with
whom we are fellow workers unto His
kingdom, knowing that He shall not
fait nor be discouraged (Iso. x111, 4; I
Cor. xv, 58). The devil sowed bis
tares and went his way quite sure that
they would grow, and we must indeed
he people of little faith if we cannot
have as much confidence concerning the
Incorruptible seed of the Word of God
as the devil had concerning his tares.
When we have delivered the Word of
God lovingly in the power of the Holy
Spirit we can safely say, Thank God,
that will work.
If some one should ask, What will
it work? we can with confidence re-
ply that it will work all His good pleas-
ure. A restless ambition to see great
results does not 'indicate a mind in
harmony with God or El Spirit filled
messenger. 'rhe blessed assurance.

uretic Ducks and Geese.
Concerning certain features of
Eskimo life along the north coast of
Alaska, the account written
by vizh-
jaimur Stefansson says: "In the
spring and summer ducks and geese,
especially the former, are an import-
ant item of diet. They are pursued
in kayaks when molting and killed
with clubs, and large numbers of
them are also secured by bolas
throwing, for the migration route of
the ducks along the coast is so defi-
nitely known teat a man can stand
in one place all day aim rely on it
that three out of every four flocks
will fly within throwing distance. So
thickly do the birds come that Row=
adays a competent man with a shot-
gun
hotgun has been known to secure as
many as 600 ducks in a day."
The Old Fashioned Purging
and Griping Action of Pills
Is Now Done Away With.
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills gently
unlock the secretions, clear away ail
waste and effete matter from the system.
and give tone and vitality to the whole
intestinal tract.
They do this by acting directly on the
liver, and making the bile pass through
bowels instead of i
the allowing it to get
into the blood, and thus causing cense-
potion, jaundice, catarrh of the stomach
and similar troubles.
Mrs. L. M. Ratchford, Peterboro, that,
writes: "Having been troubled for
years with constipation, and trying many
different remedies which did me no good
whatever, I was asked to try Milbum's
Laxa-Liver Pills. I have found them
most beneficial, for they are indeed
splendid pills, and I can gladly recom-
mend'them to all people who suffer front
constipation."
