A WIG IN THE WIND

By CATHARINE CRANMER.

“As fqr being on friendly terms with Mr. Gray, I know of no reason why I shouldn't be friendly with him, for he is as truly a gentleman as any man I know.” Grace gave the open car more speed and a drop of rain in Mrs. AllisonDodge's face cut ffiiort her reply to her niece’s spirited speech. The clouds darkened, the wind became stronger, and that first Urop of rain was followed by other scattered drops. The rock road was now in sight. A hurried glance over her shoulder showed - Grace a covered car approaching from behind. About half a mile after they struck the rock road they came to a blacksmith shop and general stove just as the rain began to come down in driving sheets. Without waiting for permission, Grace ran her car under the shed, and a few minutes later the covered car dr#w up on the sheltered side of the shop. It proved to be a jitney in which Ashby Gray had started back to the city. Seeing Mrs. Allison-Dodge in dismay and her niece vainly trying to soothe her, Ashby Gray defied the rain and dashed from the jitney to the shed, offering any assistance possible. In her agitation to see whether the storm promised to abate, Mrs. AllisonDodge lifted her veil to peer at the clouds. A sudden twisting wind swept veil and hat and even the soft white hair from her head. She cried out and grabbed wildly at the moving mass of chiffon and lace and hair, but the wind was stubborn and the veil became tangled, and the lady renowned for her soft white hair and lovely skin stood revealed with a tiny pigtail of gray hair in which a streak of faded brown still showed Grace stood as astounded as Ashby Gray, for she had not known that her aunt wore a wig. Except for one discreet hairdresser there was perhaps no one who suspected that the gradual writening process through which her hair had passed was but the adoption of a series of wigs, each one whiter than its predecessor. After a speechless interval which seemed ages to all three, Grace managed to help adjust the mass of head covering. “Aunt Clara,” began Grace, a moment afterward, “Mr. Gray says it will { take an hour to run back to town with the roads as wet as they are, and don’t you think you’d better let him take you on in .his covered car now and let me come on later when the rain stops?” Something told Mrs. Allison-Dodge that this was ’•o time to harbor prejudice against would-be suitors for her nieces hand. Besides, and most of

all, she Wanted Fo get home and have In a masseuse and that discreet hairdresser, and several other people to repair her in time for the evening. She was half inclined to assent to Gray’s suggestion that she ride home in the closed jitney. “Hurry up, Ashby," called Gray’s companion from the jitney, “I’ve got two assignments waiting for me in town.” i But the name of Ashby had struck pleasantly on Mrs. Allison-Dodge’s aristocratic ear. “Did be call you Ashby? I tho ght your name w r as Gray.” She looked inquiringly at Gray as Grace buttoned the final button on the rain coat she had taken from her own shoulders to j place upon her aunt. ; “Ashby Gray,” corrected Gray, and | bv way of further explanation, added: j “Ashby was my mother’s maiden : name.” “You don’t mean that your mother j was Amy Ashby who married Dr. Well- ' ington Gray, the Boston clergyman?” ! “Yes,” smiled Qray, as the lady's manner melted into effusiveness. Five minutes later Mrs. Allison- ' Dodge was speeding alone toward the city to be let out at the fashionable Alhambra from an ordinary Jitney. It suddenly occurred to Grace that Ashby might have given up important work to remain there with her. “I feel that I’ve no right to accept such a sacrifice from you, Mr. Gray, and if it’s important for you to be back in town soon, don’t let’s wait another minute on account of the rain. I shan’t mind how wet I get, for I haven’t any rheumatism, and —” she met his smiling eyes with a frankly amused smile, “I haven’t any wig.” “You don’t have to tell me that,” he said laughingly, as he looked admiringly at the bronze-colored mass of hair which the dampness had darkened from a bright copper color and had kinked each loose lock into a tight curl. “Poor Aunt Clara; she’cPnever hint--1 ed a wig, and what Is more, she never will. I’m glad she made friends with you before leaving, for now she will feel that her secret is In the hands of friends only, and —” Grace hesitated and Ashby added: “And therefore quite safe.” V Grace telephoned her aunt as soon as she arrived at home. ‘Tm home all safe, Aunt Clara; I thought you’d like to know.” i “I’m delighted, dearie; and where la ! that nice Mr. Gray?” “He’s gone home to dry, but he’s coming out this eevning.” “Bring him over to call on me, won’t you?” “If it clears up, maybe; but there will be lots of other opportunities, Aunt Clara, for he is going to be your nephew.” (Copyright. 1915. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ‘Subscribe for The Democrat.

The Roon also is said to have been involved in the destruction of British shipping off the Canary islandi, and is now believed to be somewhere off Norfolk. The state department was advised that in compliance with its orders arrangements had been made for the release of the British subjects aboard the German prize ship Appam at Hampton Roads

Secretary of State Lansing officially announced that the United States government will consider the Appam a legal German prize of war and will proceed accordingly. Counsellor Polk and Assistant Solicitor Woolsey of the state department had a two-hour conference with the special neutrality board over the question of the disposition to be made of the Appam and its prize arew. It was announced at the closo of the conference that a final decision had not been reached. These officials said they were not inclined to hasten a decision as the pressing needs of the situation had been met by the release of the passengers and crews aboard the vessel with the exception of the prize crew and former German prisoners, who naturally would be expected to remain in charge of the ship they captured.:.-:

THE HUMBLE TO BE EXALTED

Pkilippians 3:1-11 —February IS. Humility the Great Lesson For All. The Only Begotten an Illustration. How He Was Rich—How Ho Became Poor Why He Was Exalted and How—Church Walks In His Steps. “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesut Christ, that though He teas rich, yet for yout sakes Be became poor, that ye through Bit poverty might become rich.”—t Cor. 8:9. CHE Epistle to the Philippian* has been styled an epistle of joy—so richly did the Apostle’s heart respond to the faithfulness of the brethren at rhillppi. He would have them know that he appreciated their love, and that such love should abound toward all. Ills Joy would be filled full in proportion as he could realize that the brethren had the mind of Christ. He exhorted, therefore, that they remember the conditions on which such character could be developed. Nothing should be dome through strife or vaiu-glory. All their conduct should be marked by lowliness, humility and willingness to discern the good qualities of others—noting wherein

others were superior to themselves. They should be ever on the alert to appreciate true quality and character wherever foundlooking for noble qualities in others. and generously hoping that these existed even when not discern-

ed. considering the Interests of the Lord’s cause, and ignoring self-will and pride. They should not look mere ly at their own interests, hut also upon those of others—the rights of others, their ability. This, the Apostle assures us. is a mark of the llolv Spirit. This mind, t Itis disposition, was fully exemplified in Jesus, declares St. Paul. In [lis prehuman condition, when in a form of God. a spirit being, Jesus was humble. lie did not meditate a usurps • lion of Divine authority to exalt Him self, as did Satan, lie had no thought of robbing the Divine glory anil honor

by putting Himself upon an equality with God the Father. On the contra ry, He had the same spirit then as afterwards, when He said. “Not My will, hut Thine. l»e done”; and again. “My Father is greater than ail.”— Luke £2:12; John 10:20; 11:2S. The Master always had this disposition of reverence for the Father, and of full confidence in Him. lienee, when the time came for the Father to send a Savior into the world, first to redeem it ami later mi to become its King and Deliverer. the proposal to render this great service to God and to men was proffered to the Logos “the Only Begotten of the Father”— who promptly accepted it. This involved a great; humiliation—a leaving of the dignity of the chiefest place on the spirit plane to become a human being, “the Main Christ Jesus”—not. a sinful man. hut a perfect one. in tin* image of God, as was Adam originally. —John 1:1-1; 1 Timothy 2:.'; Hob. 7:2(5.

“The Man Christ Jesus.” After Jesus by a change. of nature found Himself a man ailumgst men. lie still preserved the same loyalty to the Fat her. In all His cavi lily ex petiem es the Master was fail 11 ful, loyal to God. loyal to His Covenant, loyal to the principles of righteousness. O; Him it is ■written, “Thou Inst loved righteousness and hated iniquity; there fore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows,” (Psalm 45:7.) The oil of gladness represented our Lord’s holyjoy which sustained Him during this period when lie made Himself of no reputation and became poor indeed—finally losing even His life—all in loyalty to the Father’s will and the Program marked out in the Bible. His final cry on Calvary was, “It i* finished!” All that the Father had given Ilim to do in the way of sacrifice had been accomplished. Then it was the Father's turn to act, to fulfil Ills good promises to Ills faithful Son. The Apostle tells us of this. Raying, “Him hath God highly exalted, and given a name which is above every name”— a title, a distinction, a place.

Every Knee Shall Bow.

glory is yet to come to the great Redeemer. Those who crucifted Him, yea, nil mankind, for whom He tasted death, are yet to be made aware of His great sacrifice on their behalf and of the high exaltation which came to Him as a result. He Is to be the world’s King of Glory, and is to reign for a thousand years. As Verse 10 declares, eventually every knee shall bow and every tongue acknowledge Him. All others not willing thus to recognize and obey. are to be destroyed from amongst the people as “natural brute beasts,” <2 Peter 2:12; Jude 10; Acts 3:23.) All this will be directly to the Father’s glory; for the entire Plan of Salvation Is of the. Father and through the Son. —1 Corinthians S:(J.

Meek and Lowly-

above all others. He was received into glory; and all the angels of God worshiped Him whom the Father had thus exalted to His own right hand, giving Him, in addition to what He had resigned, glory and Immortality—the Divine nature. But still more
