A DOUBLE TRIANGULAR AFFAIR

By SARAH BAXTER

Ned Truesdale was born with a fair intellectual endowment, but there was one feature in his makeup that kept him constantly in hot water. As it is the nature of a bird to pour forth melody, so was it in Ned’s nature to make love.

Finally he received a note from Miss Belle Stevens, a girl to whom he had told his story and who. not knowing of his idiosyncrasy, was preparing her trousseau. Having heard of his attentions to another, in her missive she stated that she did not propose to be so ignominiously treated. She scorned to sue for breach of promise, and the only method left her of punishing him was to act just as if she were a man and use a man's methods. She was in some respects a new woman and had lost her grandfather in a duel. These facts taken together, she had decided to give him his choice between keeping his promise and giving her satisfaction.

The most natural thing for Ned to do was to inform Miss Marian Jobes, the last girl to whom he had given his heart, of the alternative that had been offered him by her rival, with a request that she show him a way out of the difficulty. He sent Miss Jones the letter he had received from Miss Stevens, whereupon Miss Jones, who was a militant suffragette, returned it with an indorsement written in a bold hand on the face of it to the effect that if he did not keep faith with her (Miss Jones) she. too, would demand satisfaction under the code.

"The plot thickens.” remarked Ned to himself, and, fearing to confide In any more girls lest be get more duels on his hands, he went straightway (o his friend Tom Alsop and laid the two letters before him. "There’s but one thing for you to do. Ned; you must bluff ’em. Write a letter to each stating that you have been unaccustomed to deal with women as with men, but if she insists on being so treated you have no option but to grant her request.” "What, fight two women!” "It won’t come to that. When they find that you’re not to be trifled with they’ll haul in their horns, and you’ll be free of both of them.”.

Ned was not so certain of thus gain ing his freedom and told his friend so. "If you wish to make the matter sure,” said Tom, “you must follow the matter up by really and seriously engaging yourself to a girl whom you would like to marry. Is there such a girl?” "I don’t know. I feel more at home with Helen Swift than with any other girl. I reckon I’ll settle on her.” “Well, then, send word, as I have told you, to Miss Stevens and Miss Jones and propose to Miss Swift When you are really engaged these two will let you alone.”

Ned wrote the notes as advised and the same evening proposed to Miss Swift. To the latter he declared he was in earnest, but confessed that he was in tiv’ible with other girls. The young lady not only accepted him, but promised to stand by him no matter What the other girls might do. The next day Tom Alsop received an earnest request from Ned to come to see him. On Tom’s arrival Ned declared that he had received two formal challenges to mortal combat. What should he do? Would Tom take the matter up In his behalf? Tom said that be would, and went immediately to his own friend. Dick Thurston, laid the matter before him and it was agreed that Tom should act for Ned in tile case of Miss Stevens, while Dick acted for him in the case of Miss Jones. < The next thing Ned heard from Tom was that a meeting had been arranged with both Miss Stevens and Miss Jones for the next morning at a secluded spot in the country, the two girls to draw lots as to which should have the first crack at her recreant lover. Ned was thrown into a state of consternation at this and endeavored to induce his second to find some way out of the matter without bloodshed. Torn claimed that it was not in his power to have the affair called off and advised him to consult with the lady he had last proposed to and who had promised to stand by him. Ned went at once to Miss Swift, who. after consideration, agreed to go with him on the field and make an effort to pacify the girls. On the appointed morning Ned drove to the home of this last and only true ladylove, ana the two arrived on the ground in due time, finding the two principals and Ned’s two seconds there ready for the fray. She stepped forward and addressed them as follows: ’‘Ladies. It seems ridiculous to spiff blood on account of one man when there tire three here, or one for each girl. I am sure these gentlemen. Mr. Alsop and Mr. Thurston, cannot be In-, sensible to the charms of Miss Stevens and Miss Jones.” Instinctively each girl named looked at the man she preferred. What could the men do? Nothing but surrender to tbe girl who had looked at him. and tbe affair, so far as Ned and bis last and best girl was concerned, was ended then and there. Mr. Truesdale was the most delighted man in the universe. He strutted about, glorying in his reprieve and crowing over his seconds. The seconds subsequently each seat him a challenge, but tbe matter wag amicably arranged.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE

BIBLE-STU DTP-ON •

the cost of discipleship. Luke 14:25-35—April 19. •'Whoever will gave his life shall lose it; whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.”—Matthew 16:25.

IT was at the close of the Great Teacher’s ministry. Multitudes were following Him, going up to Jerusalem to the Passover, at which Jesus foreknew He would die as the antitypical Passover Lamb. Today’s lesson gives us some of His teachings. The terms of discipleship which Jesus set forth differ widely from those proclaimed by some who profess to be His mouthpieces. They sometimes declare that to arise and request the prayers of God's people is a sufficient sign of discipleship. Such as do so are

counted converts. To get them even to take this step requires the holding out of some inducement—greater business prosperity, an entrance into society or a better prospect of political preferment. If we contrast these with Jesus’

words in this lesson, we shall perceive that the vast number of nominal Chris tlans have been, so to speak, inveigled into professing what they never intended to profess. Many have been entrapped into professing Christianity who never were Christians, according to the Master’s conditions of discipleship, who never hearken to Ills Word, who are not consecrated to His will.

The Coat of Discipleship, "If any man come to Me, and hate not father, mother, wife, children, brethren, sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.” Surely there is no excuse for misunderstanding such plain conditions! The Master's general teaching xyas that the whole world is estranged from God and without right to everlasting life. But He came to die, that they might have opportunity to return to Divine favor. He did not say that only His followers would have an opportunity of future life. Those who so declare are adding to God’s Word something out of harmony with its teachings. The word hate is apparently used in contrast with love. To be Christ’s disciple, then, means that we must so love the Lord and the principles for which He stands that love for others in comparison would be hatred. We are to be ready to sacrifice at the Lord's command every earthly hope, aim, object, and to lay down our lives willingly, gladly. Such as manifest devotion of this kind can be trusted with anything. The fact that Jesus Himself was of this character, and placed the Father’s will above ail else, is an assurance that all His joint-heirs in the Kingdom will have the same spirit. The Kingdom will not be a selfish one, but the very reverse. The kings, princes ahd judges of that Kingdom will be not only irresistible in power, but unbribahle. With them the Divine standard will be first, in the absolute sense.

Definition of Cross-Bearing. Adding to the severity of the terms, Jesus declared, “Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come Me, cannot be My disciple.’* After we have taken our stand on the Lord’s side, w'e must be proven. Only those who demonstrate their worthiness by their faithfulness will be finally accepted of the Lord. Cross-bearing must be a daily matter. Our crosses are those oppositions of the world, the flesh and the Devil, which cross the Divine will as laid down in the Lord’s Word. The only proper sentiment Is that which the Master expressed, saying. “Not My will, but Thine, be done.” As advice not to undertake discipleship without mature deliberation. Je-

Folly of the careless builder

fight a good tigjit against Sahin and sin. Therefore they must expect a hard battle, and must wage a good warfare. “Salt Is Good, But— ’’ Jesus usbd salt as a symbol representing loyalty to God. which all His followers must havq_and maintain. If salt lose its value for seasoning purposes. it is useless. So (he has a special purpose in the world—to be a preserving power, and to bring out the good qualities of others. If he fails to do so. be is of no particular service. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.’’ All Jesus’ followers are to heed these words. Whoever neglects them despises tbe One who gave them, and will surely fall of a blessing that might have been secured. We are not to measure the world by the standards with which we measure ourselves and all professing to be Jesus’ followers. The world’s highest standai-d Is the Golden Rule. The Christian’s highest standard is self-sacrifice in doing the Father’s will.

Cost of discipleship.

sus gave a parable of a man who began a tower, but could not complete it. and thus made himself dis reputable, foolish. Another illustration was that of going to war without proper prepa r a t i o n. All Christ’s followers set out to build character, and to
