Ida Slay Spencer.

There lives in Edgerton, Wis., a young woman, Ida May Spencer, who is an export jeweler. She is in partner-ship with her father, the sign reading, " J o h n Sponcer & Daughter, Jewelers aud Opt ic ians ."

Having determined to adopt the jewel-ry business as a ptufession, she (ntered in the fa l l of 1687 the Horolugical school ut La Porte, Ind. While there she competed wi th some of the veterans in the business for a prize, a gold med-al, to be given to the one turniug the best balance staff in the shortest time. She won the medal. T w o of the judges were f rom New York and one from Chi-caga Her teacher told her that , in all probability, if they had known she was a woman they would not have awarded her the prize. He also remarked that , though fa i r ly entit led to i t , ho feared i t would not be a good advert isement for the school After learning the trade, her coworkers feared she would not be able to get a si tuation on account of her sex. However, the teachers, knowing she was fu l l y competent, gave her rec-ommendations. Dur ing the summer of 1893 she studied to beoomo an optician, at tending lectures in Boston. This branch she has found very profitable. A t the t ime Miss Spencer took op the work there were probably not more than a half doaen women engaged in the occupation.—Woman's J o u r n a l

wait ing, be ing in no has te and ind i f fe r -ent , as they have no d e m a n d for gooda

and a sufficient aupply of wool for pres-

e n t needa. B u t few agenciea have been appointed to take the new clip, and w h a t to pay for , or w h a t to do wi th the

wool when bought . Is a n nnsolved prob-lem. The markets eaet were never so

dull. Every lof t is crowded and indif -ference prevails, whe the r they buy or

not ." F rom the above one would infer t ha t "F ree Wool" is p re t ty near ly a fact . Well, there is only abou t a year more of

Freakish Resnlta of Itllcr.nrd Weather on t h e I v o r y OIOIM-S.

Dudley Kavanogh, the champion of bil l iards in tho days of the suproraacy of the old four ball American game, ta lking tho other night about the liabil-ity of ivory bill iard bailH to crack if not cnrofnlly protected from cold drafts , re-cited thin amusing incidont :

" A b o u t K0 yours HRO, when I kept a bil l iard room in Ful ton street, I got out a box of ivories w e winter morning to do some practicing before my customerB would arrive. I had been playing for about five minutes, when I undertook to make a slnirp drive wi th tbe spot ball. I struck it fa i r ly in tho middle, the cue goirlg lean through tho ball, knocking out what the exports cal l the 'hear t ' or center of the ball. I t got chilled and had cracked a l l around tho center. The ball was ruined for regular playing pur-poses, but I bad heaps of fun wi th i t af terward. I explained to certain of my customers, who were jovial sort of fel-lows, fond of a joke, t h a t w e c o u l d make a Joker of tbe cracked ball.

" I found when I replaced the 'hear t ' thot the ball had all tho appearance of a Bound one, and that the ' hea r t ' would remain in place unt i l the ball was struck sharply. These customers, who were aware of the secret, wou ld come in oc-casionally wi th other f r iends aud s ta r t a game. When the proper t ime came, the man who had been selected as the victim of the joke wonld bo engaged In oonvereation wi th one of the players, whi le another wonld slyly remove one of the sound balls when the victim wasn ' t looking and replace i t wi th the cracked Ivory.

" ' I t ' s your turn, George, ' ono of tho jokers would cry out, and then the vic-t im played. Sometimes on the very first stroke the player wonld knock tbe loose ' hea r t ' out of place, aud pinion tho ball on the t ip of bis cue. The sliut generally astonished the spectatora Then they wonld roar w i th laughter and applaud wi th enthusiasm. The maker of the mysterious shot was a lways the most be-wildered m a n in the es tabl i shment H e would examine tho pinioned ball closely and then sorntinize the dislodged ' b e a r t '

" ' Well, George, ' they told h im laugh-ingly, ' there isn ' t a professional al ive who could beat tha t s h o t I t ' s the great-est on record. '

" I t was many, m a n y months before that cracked ball ceased to be a source of wonder and amnsemont to the down town business m e n . "

Since Dudley 's daya in Ful ton s treet , the same aooident has occasionally hap-pened, and Sexton, T im Flynn, George Slosson aud Maurice Daly each have "hear t less " billiard balls, which they keep as curiosities.

Sunday a f t e rn ron our little parly of six, who didn' t a t tend the bull fight, on-

j o y f d the chaperonage of Mra Col. Green, of that ci ty. Colonel Green, al though a nat ive of the state of

New York (where wont you find " Y o r k Staters?") has live d in Mexico for ty years and is as much of a Mexican as you will find anywhere . H e ia a re-tired officer in the Mexican army and a

very prominent citizen. He was one of Mexico's commissioners to our own World's Fair and is a member of the Board of Directors for the Mexican In-ternational Expofi t ion. Col. Green baa much influence and our company is

deeply indebted to him and his c h a r m -ing wife for many favora. Mrs Green ia also f r o m New York, Geneseo, and ia a very cha rming woman. She knows

all th« things which will Interest an

American, aa she herself was an Ameri-can stranger only about ten years ago, and under her intelligent guidance, wo saw much tha t ^vas Interesting.

Af ter dinner, as the balance of tho par ty were s ta r t ing for the bull fight,

we Went down to the grand central plaza, a t t he Zocolo, and took the earn for the La Vega canal, a canal which

runs f rom the city to the mounta ins twenty milea away. I t is the last and

only one lef t of t he fine system of c a n -als in use a t the t ime of the "Monte-

zumas." I t is put to the same primi-tive uses sa It was hundreds of years

ago. The farmers , or t ruck gardners bring their produce to marke t In prlmi-tivo boats which arc poled by bare leg-

ged boatmen s tanding in the f ront end. The canal presents a pleasing and in te r -esting sight, boats of all kinds, f rom a

canoe, ten feet long and hardly wide

enough for the boatman 's two feet, and covered pleasure scows with seats along

both sides, loaded wi th merry laughing parties with gui tars and other musical

instruments , to the long dirt scows which bring loads of Adobe b n c k and

the sand for mor ta r to the city.

Our first stop was a t J ama ica , , (pro-nounced Ha-may-cab) a mile or so f rom the city IlmltB. This place is the

marke t fo r produce and we saw here many boats loaded wi th cabbage, cauli-

flower, radishes, celery, le t tuce and onions, the finest we ever saw. There is a magnificent museum here endowed by Rl Senor Don J u a n Corona, a renown-

bull fighter who died. The museum is

a t tached to a char i ty school or orphan asylum for girls, and a f t e r being shown

through you are led to a n urn si t t ing on a table and invited to deposit therein, your m i U towards t b e support of the

inst i tut ion. There is nothing more of in te 'es t a t J a m a i c a except the gaudily

painted "pu lque" shops, so we rake the cars for Santa Marleafl, six miles f rom the ci ty. Here we find the world f a m -

ous fli a t ing gardens, and pre t ty parka

with swings and dancing floors and the inevitable pulque shop.

The floating gardens are gardens about four b y ten rods square, surronn-

d^d b y canals about six feet wide f rom which the g rowing vegetables a re irri-gated. The i r r igat ing proews is per -formed by a m a n with a long dipper,

made f rom a gourd, he dips the water f rom the canal and wi th a simple twist he throws it so t ha t it sprays evenly to

the center of the garden. Here I tried to got a snap shot of a nat ive laundreso.

of humani ty I ever saw and rushed into

a house near by. They do the i r wash-ing here In a w a y tha t would bring tears to tbe eyes of an American woman.

They t ake their d i r ty clothes to a brook

or canal and a f t e r wet t ing them, gather them In a bunch and beat them on a stone. They mus t have a cer tain n u m -

the Interior decorations being in much

of Christ , t he Virgin, and several saints t ha t we ever saw. Tbe church had no doors, but a few feet inside the opening

a cur ta in of coarse whi te cloth was hung, around which you had to pass to enter the bui lding.

Returning, we stopped a t Santa Ani-ta. another resort village, here all w a s

gaiety, immense quanti t ies of pulque were being consumed, and even t b e

venders of tortil las were hav ing a br isk trade. The swings were all occupied

and lovers sat on the hare earth and decked each o ther with wreaths a n d j garlands of poppies. The women w e a r '

and were taken Into his house. I got a very good picture of hia wife aud two bright children.

The street cars of Mexico are dratâ by a four mule team wboee ordinary gait is a dead run, the driver has a littlo horn, like our toy trumpets, which he blows jus t before he arrives a t a corner

of the street. They have no bells on the mules or cars, and the warning is given in this way. The driver also has two whips, a short whip for tho wheel team and a long whip for the lead mulea and

ho d idn ' t use them sparingly either. The cars are of three classes with prices vary ing for each class and fo r tfie dis

suppressed the Monks and Nunneries, confu eating the immense properties they owned, Juarez was excommunicated by the Catholic church, but is one of i he popular heroes of Mexico. His tomb is profusely decorated wi th flowers and above his last resting place hangs tbu Masonic emblems, a large " G " and the "Square and Compa?8." From Juarez 's tomb we went back to-the hotel and listened to the lamentations of the bull fight party. Here we met a Rev. Mr Brown, a Presbytenan missionary and an old Ann Arbor boy,

Julc went to the cupboard in the cor-ner, untl u few ininutes Inter left the room. Jed broke the hIIodcc which fol-lowed her departure. "1 done heard that Tom Ludlow'd put a gang to work-In" in the MeXabb np'in to-day," he fluid.

" I know hi t ," replied Jeff . "Wo-nll "11 give 'em a s'prise party 'boutto-mor-rer uight. I reckon they'll keep gyard up thnr, but t h a t ain't gwine do no good!"

Bttd shook his head. "No. they-ftll don' t know nothin ' about the crevice. Wonder if the city feller can hear 'em n-work in'?"

"I reckon so," replied Jeff. "'Mob* likely he's been a-hollerin* the top o* his hnid off nil day, a-tryin' to make out to raise somebody, t believe he was 'bout the worst senred-up feller I ever did

Mud laughed. "He shore was. He trem'Ifd jest like a pal when I was a tyln' his arms."

Jeff tilted his chnir aguinst the wall and smoked meditatively until his pipe went out. "D'yeknow, Buddy, Icayn ' t pet shet o' the ide" that I've done see that thar feller afore"—he knocked the ashes out of the pipe and dropped it into his pocket—"an' I jest cayn't ric'llct whar—By Hick'ry! I do ric' . lict, now!" The speaker brought his chair down with a crash, and the others looked up with astonishment a t his sud-den exclamation.

"Whar was hi t , Jeff?" asked Bud. "Hit was down a t Waco; that 's whar

hi t was"—he go t up and paced the floor excitedly—"that's jest, whar hit was. I done told you nil 'bout tha t t ha r ruction in the expresH oilice, when that plum fool messenger 'lowed to stan' we-all off with a gun; thar wasn't no time for to talk, an' jest ai> 1 fired I done saw a man comln' in a t the back do'—" Ho paused and then added, impressivelyt "Boys, hit wo® that thar city chap, on* he's down yere to get me."

An awed silence fell upon the group In the kitchen aftwr Jeff made this an» 1 nouncement. Bud put his gun together and loaded i t carefuly, s i t t ing quietly af terward wi th the weapon across h i t knees; and Jed came out of his dark corner to feel mechanically on the high mantel shelf for his pipe. The night hod closed In with storm signals flying in the western sky, and the rising wind began to sigh dismally through the trees, sending occasional puffs eddying down the ohhnney to scatter little clouds of l ight ashes from the expiring embers on the hearth. The mensured sob of the g rea t engine a t the furnace rose and fell on the breeze, mingling its tones with t h e hoarser mutterings of the approaching storm. At the head of the oovo there is a deep cleft in the perpendicular wall of rock, known to the dwellers in iJarmony Valley as "The Chimney." With the breath of the tempest, the fissure becomes the di-apason of nature 's great organ, and al-ready Its deep reedy voice could be beard, filling the cove with a sound like the rushing of the waves on a sandy beach, or like the distance-softened roar of a mighty cataract. Prom his watch tower in the bloated oak behind the barn, a g rea t owl added his mourn-ful call to the weird noises of the night, while all the shriller and cheerfuller vole«« of na ture were hushed and silent hi the presence of the storm-king. Jeff BynUm continued his monotonous walk np and down the narrow limits of the kitchen, stopping a t each torn to peer out of the windows Into the thickening gloom.

Bud was the first to speak. "What-all does ye Mow to do 'bout hit, Jef f?" be inquired.

The cider brother dropped into a chair and th rus t his hands deep irfto his pocket*. " I 'low I don't jest rightly know. Buddy—I don't, for a fact; thar cayn't be no mistake; I ain't nowise likely to forget that thar face; hi t 's been n harn t to me more'n one night sence 1 seed hi t ; hi t has, for shore."

Jed got up and threw another stick of wood on the fire. "Ye reckon ye're plum shore. Jeff?" he asked. "'Peari! like this yere feller's been mindin' bis own business tol'able clost sence he come to the settlement."

"No, Jed, he hain't; that 's what 's a-ruttlln' mc. He was u-pryin' round tVs • ?ro . * •iv ' v , ' v ui' .• 1 ' <•« vr tirtdy; i seed ium; an .mleshc took him up the mounting and p'inted him the way back from the McNabb."

"Jule!" "Yes, Jule . I Tow she didn't know

who 'r what he wat. She done lef t him standin' ufore the mouth of the tunnel. An" that ain't the mos'curiouscst pa r t o' hit ; he scrambled into the hole over the broken rocks, an' j.-Ht nl>oiit a min-ute af terwards he come a-pilin' out o' thar like he seed a harnt , an' the last I seed o' him he was s-makin*the longest kind o' trucks to'rdst the valley."

"What d ' ye reckon he seed in tha r?" "I'll nev' tell ye; bu t that hain' t the

question; hit looks mighty like he's a-sneakin' round yere to fin' out some-fh ln ' 'bout we-all, an* I reckon thar ' s got to be somethin' done.*

Bud glanced around into the gather-ing shadows in the room, and asked: -Whar ' s Ju le?"

' 1 •duruio," replied Jel l ; "gone to bald, I reckon,"

Bud stood his rifie In the chimney-corner and went out, coming back in a moment to say: "I reckon she has; leastways, thar 's no light."

Another interval of oppressive si-lence followed Bud's assurance. The three men sat around the hearth, each knowing the others ' thought, and each hoping tha t one of the others would put the pitiless suggestion Into words. While they waited the first great drops of rain pattered on the roof, and the soughing of the wind through the tree-tops and the louder growling of the thunder, drowned the roar of "The Chimhey." The dusky Interior of the kitchen grew more shadowy as the handful of fire on the hearth died down, and the darkness was intensified by un occasional (lash of lightning contrast-ing its glare with the twilight of the room. The red glow from the coals fell upon the faces of the three brothers grou]>ed about the fireplace and si t t ing In silent judgment upon a man whose only offense was his resemblance to some other man. Each of the three felt •hat there was a terrible margin of doubt, and yet each knew t h a t i t was only doubt and not certainty. If their prisoner and the single witness of Jeff 's crime were identical, there could be no safety for a t least one of them while the man lived; If not^-lf Jeff were mis-taken, af ter all — the alternative was sufficiently dreadfuj to moke them hes-itate to give it shape In speech.

The suggestion came finally from the one who was most deeply concerned. Jeff rose slowly and took down his rifie from its pegs over the mantel. " I reck-on hit 's got to be done, boys," he said, huskily. "I hate hit mighty bad, bu t I cayn ' t affo'd to take no chainces."

Bud joined him at once, but Jed hes-itated. "You don' t have to come, Jed," said the elder brother; "two of us is

Enough, an' I know ye a l n t afenrd." "I 'm goin' ' long with you-all, only

I hope yere pow'ful shore, Jeff ; seem like hit 's mighty tough to go an' shoot him like he 's a rat in a hole, less ye're p'lnt-blonk ccrtaln ye got to do h i t "

They went out noiselessly, so as not to awaken Jule, and Jeff led the way to the trail up which the womon had pi-loted Rlngbrand two days before. Th« wind had risen to a gale, and It was wringing and twist ing the trees above their heads; but the rain delayed and the storm seemed to be blowing over. When they reached the base of the eJIff, they le f t the path and turned shortly to the right, following the

handed the lamp to Uls brother aim took careful nlm nt the motionless form: his band trumbled ho that he could not hold the gun steady, and he gut down upon his knees and rested it against the side of the crevice. Rven then he was so long about It that Bud's nerve col-lapsed and the lamp fell from his shak-ing fingers; It did not go out, and us he held it up again he whispered: "Shoot —quick! I can't—"

A blindiug fiabh Illuminated the cavern, and the dead air of the place jarred with a concussion that put out the light and reverbrated like pent-up thunder In the a rcheso f the vault. The two men fell over each other In their f rant ic haste to reach the open nlr, fighting like caged wild beasts for precedence up the difilcult Htulrway; and when they emerged from the mouth of the smoky pit, the contagion of torror communi-cated itself to their passive accomplice, and the three men scattered In a mad flight toward the cove.

MS k m alowly aad took down his rtfla.

line of the rocky wall until they reached a narrow ledge affording a precarious passage up -to the table-land. Emerg-ing, a f te r a breathless scramble, upon the unsheltered mountain-top, where the wind had full sweep, they pushed on gasping until they stood in the small ravine under the lee of the bowlders marking the entrance to Rlngbrand's prison. Jeff uncoiled the rope he had brought, and v. ns preparing to desccnd, when Jed stopped him:

"Don't ye 'low that ' l l be sort o' resky? If tha t t ha r feller's wha t v . lone took

1 ' 'le fight, f o r i . . re uin't gwine a tan'.still an' 'low ye to shoot him In col' blood."

The caution brought back with ap-palling distinctness the ghastly horror of the deed they were about to do, and they paused in fearful hesitation. Then Bud proposed that they go down into the other cavern, using the narrow crevice for a loop-hole, and a few min-utes later be and Jeff were standing in the pitchy darkness of the subterranean chamber, while Jed watched at the aperture above. Jeff felt his way along one of the walls until he came to a niche where they kept a miner's lamp, and, l ighting this they cautiously recon-noitcred the adjoining cluunbor as well as they could by its inefficient help. The l ight f rom the lamp penetrated but a short distance beyond the narrow opening, bu t It answered the purpose, and they could see the shadowy outlines of t h e figure of a man stretched out upon the sandy floor of the cavn-n. Jeff

VIII. A BUnTERRANEAN METASIOHPIIOSIfl. When Rlngbrand opened his eyes he

found himself lying on his back In what appeared to be the bottom of a well; a t least, tha t was his second im-pression. With the first gleams of re-tu rn ing consciousness there was no recollection of the events Immediately preceding his fall, and for a moment he bad a vague Idea tha t he had stumbled and h u r t himself In the road, and that the clouds had covered all but the small patch of s l y directly over-head where the s tars were still visible. Then memory came back, and he re-called the details of the capture up to the sudden blank following the plunge into the hole between the bowlders. A sharp twinge of pain bridged the In-terval and reminded him that there were two present and pressing sources of discomfort In the gnarled log across which he was lying and In the vice-like pressure of the rope which still bound his a rms to his sides. To wriggle out of the uncomfortable position was easy, bu t looseningthe rope was another mat-ter, The knot had been drawn t ight by the jerk of his fall, and i t was an hour or more before he succeeded In working i t ground where It could be. reached; even when this was done. It was orily a beginning, and the first faint streaks of dawn were filtering through the aperture overhead when he finally rose stifily and swung his arms to start, t he suspended circulation.

In a little while it was light enough to enable him to see his sui'TOundingg. and he found tha t he was Imprisoned In a crevlce-cave much like the one he had explored two days before. I t occurred to him at once t h a t It might be a con-tinuation of the same cavern, or that/ possibly he might be In the very chamber Into which he had tried to penetrate; but th is seemed unlikely, for two reasons. One was tha t he could not make the locality of the McNabb tunnel agree with the general direction of bis wanderings of thenlghtprevious; and the other was even more convinc-ing, for, while his cell terminated a tone extremity In a narrow fissure like the one in which be had )pet the pick and the lamp, he could not find the missing articles, though he loat no t lmoln mak-ing a careful search for them. In do-ing this, however, he stumbled upon another discovery which was of much more Immediate importance: reaching down Into the crannies of the fissure, his bond found a pool of water, and he drank gratefully, dipping up the cool liquid by spoonfuls In his hollowed palm.

After this, he gave an hour to minute examination of the boundaries of his prison, scrutinizing the walls and care-fully weighing every possible chance of escape. At the end of this preliminary survey he sat down upon the log, which proved to be the t runk of a small tree hurled by some accident of wind or l ightning through the opening above, and began to go over tê events of the past few days, in the hope of finding something to account for the mysteri-ous attack and Imprisonment, In this effort he racked his brain to little pur-pose, and, a f t e r repeatedly scouting the Idea as absurd, he finally accepted the conclusion that the Bynums hud in some mariner connected him with the fortunes of their enemlea, and had taken prompt measures to deprive the Latimers of a possible ally.

"If that 's the case," be mused, speak ing aloud for the sake of the companion-ship of his own voice, "what do they mean to do wi th me? If they hail wanted to kill me, they certainly had it all their owp way last night; a very small domestic ca t wouM have madi> a bet ter resistance t h i n t did. No, tha t isn ' t I t ; they don' t mean murder ; they're only tryuig to ge t m e out of the way for awhile. And the next th ing Is, for how long? Keeping In view the com' for t ing conclusion tha t they don ' t Intend making away with me, the ques tion will answer Itself in a few hours a t the most, for they haven't given me any th ing to eat . Which reminds me I that I'm pret ty hungry, now; "he looked I ruefully at his watch. "Tom Ludlow .ad .mk breakfast two houia ago. una

a t the present moment, I suppose, he's s i t t ing In his office with the comfort-able under-thought t h a t h ' l l be dinner-time before long. Lucky fellow, not to know what i t is to si t In a crack In the face of the earth, speculating on the doubtful possibilities of fu tu re meal times. Well, I presume the next thing Is to decide whether or no t F m to s i t here and wait for some one to come and pull mo out; and if I 'm not, what ' s the alternative? Let's have another look a t the resources."

After overhauling the rope and coll-ing It beside the log. he searched his pockets, bu t found nothing useful therein, except a small penknife. "Thore they are—say 40 feet of rope, a piece of wood six or seven fee t long, and a toy poeketknlfe; and this hole is about 30 f ee t deepv I should judge. There Isn't very much to work with, bu t I 've pulled many a hero ou t of worse scrapes than th is with much less,"

The humor of thf* enmparlson pro-voked a laugh, and then he wondered what had become of his depression of the previous day. The explanation rame suddenly v. lien he ran his solilo-quy back to the point where he bad con-cluded that his connection with the Latimers was the reason for the assault ii|mui him. It seemed in a way to bring liitu nearer to Hester, and for a time there was a cheerful enthusiasm in the thought that other and compelling hands bad pushed him over the dividing line between his pusllluniinous resolu-tion to runaway and an active partici-pation In the quarrel which involved her family. There was little comfort In the contemplation of the part he might be required to take In the feud; the battle was still to be fought with his weakness, nnd he had the fresh and hunilllnting example of a few hours be-fore to remind him tlmt he hud not yet made a beginning. The recollection of this discournged him again, i>nd ail the arguments t h a t bad presented themselves in defense of his plan of re-t rea t came back with redoubled empha-sis. He was not sure tha t Hester loved him; If She did, she would despise him when she found him outf It would bo Inexcusably wrong for him to win her love under false pretenses; she had told him only last n ight what she would ex-, pec t in theman ofhercholce. He pushed the tormenting thoughts aside, and brought himself down with a jerk to the present and Its demands. "I 'm not going to dispute with the weak-kneed devil any more," he muttered; "the first thing to do is to get out of here, an4 then I'll leave It with her; If she honors me enough to make me her defender, I'U make a shif t to fight her battles if I have to hire some one to hold me while I do I t "

I.EShON NOTES. Jesus was now in Jericho, passing

throug-h the city, never to return thith-er aguin.Zoccheus immediately planned to see JeaiiK. Zaecheus wos a rich man. He had gained a considrffabio portion of his riches by extorlion and fraud. He could not enter God's kingdom and retain this mammon of unrighteous-ness. He promptly and completely dis-carded his old life, and made notmTly the required restitution, bu t more, nnd slew his lovo of money by giving half of his property to the poor. Tills day salvation come to his house. He trusted In Jesus and became His fol-lower. "For," said Jesus, " the Son of Man is come to seek and to save tha t which was lost," "As they heard these things" which Jesus had been saying in the house of Zaecheus, where He was a guest, "He odded and spake a par-

able." Jesus hnd repeatedly of late given the

impression t h a t the kingdom was com-ing, nnd tha t I l l s going to Jerusalem hud something to do with It, (See Luke 17:20, 30; 18:29, 30; Matt, 19:28.) Ami they thought tha t all their dreams about the kingdom were to be visibly realized Immediately and in their way. In fact, the great events necossary to its coming—the crucifixion and resur-rection—were soon to take place; and the rays of its dawn were to shine In the Pentecof-tal g i f t of the Holy Spirit, 1 but the disciples would not recognize these things, nor would the kingdom appear to them; nnd Its complete com-ing wos yet for away; nor would It e \er come In the. way they expected it. This nnrnble was to put them on tholr guard against disappointment; to teach them their t rue way of waiting. In faithful, patient service, for the com-ing of the kingdom; and t h a t a t some time, it would certainly come.

t i m e s there comes a day of judgment to notions and to individuals. The de-struction of Jerusalem wasoneof those times; so are Providential crises, the hour of revelation of crime long contin-ued In secret, and tbe hour of death. Every one has to give a strict account of all that God has intrusted to him .

At the close of this parable Jesus mnkes a statement of the principle: , **Unto everyone which hath shall be given; and from him thnt hath not, 1

even that he hath shall be taken away j fmm h im:" He has only true posses- |

• slon of a thing who uses Its i>oweraaDd I forces. Ht does not really "have** any-thing which he does not make a step-ping-stone to something better. Tbe opportunities pass oway, the abilities diminish, the powers wane.

And the fate of those who reject Christ is just as oertaln. There was a fulfillment of verse 87 at the destruc-tion of Jerusalem, 40 years later, when not a Christian perished, but more than a million Jews Were slain. But thatde-etructlon was but one example of the ruin which must follow a life of sin.
