THE STORY Returnings to London, practically penniless, after an unsuccessful business trip. Sir Geiorge Sandison takes dinner with his widowed stepmother, his old nurse. "Aggy." He did not approve of her marriage to his fafather. h,ut her explanation satisfies him.

CHAPTER I—Continued —2— , ‘ ' “Oh. not that from you. Sir Geordie,” she cried, and then stretched but a timid, pudgy, capable hand toward him- "Could we hot be friends, we two? There’s a heap I would like, to speak to you about, and indeed there s nothing 1 wouldn’t do for you. You were my own wee laddie when I look care of you.” Sir George looked nt her with an embarrassed air. “You make It bard for me. Lady—" VAggy to you,” declared Lady Sandl- * son promptly. “You called me that when I was your nurse girl, and I’m still wanting to look after you.” "Aggy." he began, after a moment's hesitation. The maid came In with the cloth and began to set the table, and Sir George watched somberly. What was it tn life that caught one and drew one toward the very people one hoped to avoid? lie had come, only because of the duty he owed“ his father's widow, to see her once ami be done with her forever—and he found he had forgotten how much he liked Aggy, It was preposterous, but It was true. This was the woman' he had cursed many a day, manv a night and he was dining with her I Lady Sandison hesitated [a moment when the maid left the room, and then went resolutely to where she had caused the extra blankets and sheets to be stored, and came back with a bottle of wine. He stopped her as she was about to pour <ut a gltfss for him. "No, Aggy, none for me. I'm too hungry, and the old man's horrible example is still before my mind's eye. I've been leaving that stuff alone.” “The Lord be praised!" said Aggy, and poured- herself a generous glass. “There's no need of wasting. Ills-mer-.clee, however. I can take it or leave it. and It ha’s no'effect. But to see you so discriminating Is like an answer •to prayer.” Sir George smiled and began bis soup, be hoped not too ravenously, lie had not dared take wine on so empty a stomach. "This good sense, you are showing will tit in well with a plan 1 have." continued Aggy as she took her soup spoon in hand. "How are you off?' “l»o you mean as to money?” Lady Sandison nodded. “I do so." "I’m broke." Sir George told her. ' without emotion. “The Yucatan oil scheme was a failure. 1 came out nlive and-Without debt, but that’s nil. I have," ho hesitated, then laughed. And continued. "I have exact and-six between me arid thw cold world." "Michly ! ’ exclaimed Lady Sandison. The maid brought in the fish and served it. during a profound silence. When she had taken her way to the elevator with the sodp [dates? Lady Sandison sooke: "I'ire estate is in an awful bad way." Sit tleorge |b"!<led. "1 Suppose s<>." "What he did with his i|t>oney’» past (Inding out." Then she looked at the young man thoughtfully. ”I’ve had n long talk with that lawyer body. Mr. Gillespie, and he approves of what 1 have done. I've let the house,” Sir George stared. "Subject to your approval, of course, for It's yours, but I wasn’t going to let a chance like this slip by. Some American folk that had more money than I could count In a month of Sale baths. They wanted Sandlsbrae and wanted It that bad that they came up to my price. They ary highly recommended. I could pay the servants off with the first month's rent, and get them jobs with the new folk, and the rent for the rest of the season put In bank would settle up the debts, if you agree.” “It sounds quite reasonable,” said Sir George, then? Was silence again as the maid took the fish plates and brought in the meat course. It was roast beef with potatoes and cabbage but It was the food of the gods to hungry Sir George, who fell upon It. - lutdy Sandison, not having his appetite, ate n little more slowly and between bites studied her stepson. “Seven and six Is all you have?" Sir George, his mouth full, nodded. "Where'll you sleep?” asked the practical Aggy. "I haven't decided yet,” Sir George looked at her with a smile. “But at that I’m not ‘daunted’ as you used to say. Aggy. I’ll walls to Havilant’s • - club and ask—” “He's off and away," interrupted Lady Sandison. “His mother told me thajt, over the telephone, this very day. He was out at Moni: Denys for the week-end. I doubt she sent him there when she heard you were coming back.” Sir George looked somewhat discomposed. "Why did you—". *1 didn’t." said Lady Sandison, flushing a little. She called me. It seems she'd heard that I was here and you were expected, and she telephoned me and asked when you were coming,” “She has heard of the collapse of (be oil business. I suppose?" “I expect. She seemed to know ■ ... ■ ■■

everything but the date of your arrival, and I told her that myself and said that If Lord Archibald wanted to see you he'd just have to wait, as you had things concerning the estate to settle before you were off to America.” Sir George leaned back in bls chair and surveyed this extraordinary woman. ,' “America! Why on earth should 1 go to America? Where did you get that Idea?” "It popped Into (ny head,” said ’Aggy. "Lady Havilant was so fearfully condescending like, and so feared that you would look up Lord Archie for a lorin. that I jist minded myself that the Sandlsons were one of the -JSgf JOB She Laid Her Other Hand on Top of Hit—A Rare Caress From This Most Reserved Person. oldest baronetcies In the kingdom and the Havtlants but bare two hundred years! So I wasn’t letting her try to patronize Sir Steenle's widow or his son. I told her exactly what popped into my head. Glad am I that I did, for It kept burling round and round there till It turned into as good a (dan as any I could think of. So if you you nothing pressing to do the night. Sir Geordie —” He looked nt her and skilled. “You go too fast for me, Aggy. I have to look for a place to sleep.” "Then that's settled?’ Lady Sandison declared, but the look she gave hint Implored him not to refuse her, "if you'll remember that I’m your stepmother and take a shakedown here at my flat. You’re that tall and I’m such .a sb&rt'y that I think you’ll have to take the bedroom, and 111 take the sitting room couch." To refuse, with those blue eyes, generally so hard, fixed anxiously on him was beyond Sir George. He tried tQ. He protested, but finally found himself saving: "Hl accept your hospitality gladly. Lady Sandison." “Aggy.” '. “Aggy. but Ftp to have tlie couch.” Lady Sandison for the first time that evening actually smiled. "I doubt it," she said. "1 doubt you can double Up that small, but weir leave that until the time comes. At present, while the lass is clearing, we'll have the coffee and cigarettes in the sitting room, and I'll tell you this America plan." "Yes,” ngreed Sir George, but he set bis handsome jaw. Aggy was quite all right and a splendid manager. She had always been that, but she was not going to manage him into going to America. Aggy saw the set jaw and began calmly: “You’ll have mind when you

“Run-Off” After Rainfall Affects Water Power

In the study of the matter of rainfall, It has been gradually realized that the "run-off" calls for just as much investigation ns the precipitation. In fact. It has been found that the "run-off" is even more variable than the rainfall. The “run-off” is that part of rainfall which finds its way "to the streams and Is available for generating hydroelectrieal power. This "run-off* Is not a fixed percentage. When the ground is very dry it absorbs all the rainfall and there Is no “run-ojj." When the earth Is saturated practically every drop of rainfall runs off. Thus, when a severe drought strikes an area usually well watered, the drop in “run-off" Is much more pronounced than the shrinkage in precipitation. All of this has been known in a general way. but it has taken a prolonged dry spell to make it really appreciated, and water power plants that were planned from ralnStone Newspaper* Newspapers in the form of large stone"” tablets have been discovered during excavations at Ostia, in Italy. One is said to record the death of Pompey in 49 B. C„ and the will of Julius Caesar with his bequests to the people of Rome. Because of his dispatches from the war in Gaul. Caesar is often called the father of journalism, but it seems that Cicero, born in 106 B. G, has a greater claim to his distinction. Cicero used to post In the galleries of his villa at Tusculum a record or journal of the passing events of note, with a list of births, deaths, and marriages. From a letter of Cicero’s it is known that he used a system of abbreviated writing.

were a wee bit l&ddie, I was used to tell you stories of my brother, Robert, In America?” Sir George, absorbed In lighting his cigarette, nodded. "He’s still there, and he’s a big man in hjs way.” “What is his way? '‘Some kind of contracting business. Putting up weirs and grand public buildings, bridges and they awful skyscrapers that crowd streets over there.” Sir George nodded to signify his comprehension. “He’s byway of being something awful well off." Sir George’s eyes opened. Aggy nodded solemnly. “Him and me’s been at outs for many a long year on account of a real impident letter he sent me some time before I married your father. He doesn't know I'm married. I refused to go out to America and be pampered the way he said he would pamper me. Rob let fly some awful words about 'd—n obstinate females.’ so I jist didn’t answer his letter. When he sent some lawyer bodies after me I jist told them to take his money and his messages back to him, I would go my own gait You see,” she added, as Sir George looked at her inquiringly, "I was badly needed at Sandlsbrae then. It would have been demoralized, but for me. Your father was rarely himself, and things were hot as they had been in my lady's time. You were away In France." Sir George nodded. He did not want to remember those times. "1 couldn't see my way to leaving the place, especially as your father was making up to Jock's lass, as I told you. And she with little sense in iier wee, putty head! So I judged that it would be better for you if I stayed and let your father compromise himself with me. At least that’s the way I let him think," she said, with a nod at Sir George. "I daresay there was a lot of gossip about us. but none of it was true. However, it was my chance to set things right and I took it. Jist when Sir Steenie knew he couldn’t be left, I says t<» tiiin: ‘This is no place for an unmarrlecF respectable woman.’ ’Then d—t, marry me, Aggy.’ he said, ‘as I have asked you more-than once.’ ‘Thank you. Sir Steenie,’ I says. ‘We’ll take the night train to Gles'ga and get the license, and I’ll warrant you a peaceful life and no riiore extravagances.’ ‘Plenty of whisky and peace to drink it in. Aggy. my dear, is my notion of pleasure,’ he said.” She paused and sighed, “I did better for him than most, and I saved something for you,’Sir Geordie.” Sir George’s, head was bowed on. his hands. "Oh, Aggy, I’m ashamed that I thought of you as I did.” Aggy's firm lip trembled for a moment. "You might have remembered me better than that. Sir Geordie.” was on the tip of her tongue, but she held It bUck and said. “Bless me! What does a lad remember about his old-nurse? And it looked bad. But that's by and gone, if only—” ami here' her composure was shaken for a moment—"if only you believe me now.” Sir George leaned forward and took her fat. pudgy hand, which still bore traces of hard work, and patted It. "Would I be here, Aggy, If I didn’t believe you?" She laid her other hand on top of his—a rare caress from this most reserved person. "That's my laddie.” she said. “Sir Geordie. I have often thought if you'd come back that first year—but then, how could you? It was probably better as it was. and now we ll take stock of what's left us.” "Very little. I'm afraid. The lawyer told me that I had nothing but Sandlsbrae left.” “Did he so? There was a little something-left over, that your father didn't spen<l. I let Sir Steenie think he gambled It away one night he wasn’t himself, while as a matter of fact I had it hid up the stair, in the tower." "But that—” Sir George began. “It's yours. It s no much, but it'll help.” "It's yours." he declared hastily. I- < all the widow's portion you have, Aggy. I'll never touch a penny of it” Two obstinale Scots stareif at each other. It was Aggy, Lady Sandison, who spoke first. ‘‘You were ever a set laddie. There’s no change in you.” "There will be no change In me. Agnes, Lady Sandison, must take her lawful share."

fall records without proper allowance for the still greater fluctuations In “run-off” have suffered. The recognition of this relationship v. 11l undoubtedly save the Industry many millions of dollars in unprofitable tnvestsments and will safeguard the consumer because of greater reserves that will be provided hereafter. Faith in a Few Thing* Best Channing said truly. “No one is so tempted to believe too little as the person who began by believing too much." Or, rather, too many things, trying to see in detail the fashion of things to be, making an Atlas of Eternity. In reaction against what It deems the~over-belief of other days, our generation has fallen Into an underbellef, far below what Is Its right. If our fathers asked how good is the most that we can mean by the word “God," their sons ask how real is the least we can mean by it What we need is not faith In more things, but more faith in a few profound things which make us men, whence men Jn all ages have derived inward sustaining hope. For we are moved most deeply not by many things we try to believe, but by the few things we cannot persuade ourselves to disbelieve. —The Churchman. Hava Had Many Owner* The bronze horses surmounting San Marco cathedral in Venice were made in Corinth nearly 20 centuries ago. They were taken from Corinth to Rome by Nero, to Constantinople by Constantine, thence to Venice, and then to Paris by Napoleon, being restored to Venice after his fall.

Lesson for September 7 JOSIAH, A ROYAL REFORMER LESSON TEXT—II Kings 22:1-8; 2J: 1-25. j GOLDEN TEXT-r-Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. PRIMARY TOPIC —Josiah Finds God's Book. JUNIOR TOPlC—Josiah’s Rare Find. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Getting Help from the Bible. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- ! ic—The World’s Debt to Reformers. I. Josiah a Godly Young King (22:1, 2). He did that which was right In the sight of the Lord and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left About one hundred years elapsed between the reformation under Hezekiah and that of Josiah. Sometime during this period the book of God's law had been lost. Two wicked kings had reigned in the interval. The Lord had given to Hezekiah much wealth. His son, Manasseh, coming into possession of his father’s property and being ungodly would naturally neglect the Bible, if not purposely try to put it from sight. Those who do not obey the word of God are usually interested in putting it out of sight It was incumbent upon tl>e king to have the law at his command and faithfully read it. 11. Finding the Book of the Law (22:3-10). 1. The occasion (vv. 3-8). It was while restoring the temple during Josiah’s reformation that the , law was discovered. In clearing out the dark corners to make repairs and to find a place to store the subscriptions made by the people, many things which had been lost were found, among which was the law. 2. The Book read before the king (vv. 9, 10). Upon making a report of the work to the king Shaphan informed him of the finding of the book of the law of the Lord, and the book was read by Shaphan before the king. 111. Jhe Effect of the Reading of the Law (vv. 11-20). 1. The king rent his clothes (v. 11). As the law was read before him he was led to realize the awful extent of the nation’s departure from God. He knew that sin merited punishment. The rending of the royal robes Indicated the king's penitence and sorrow. 2. The king sent a deputation to make inquiry of the Lord (vv. 12-20). He included himself In the guilt before God (v. 13). His sense of sin was so keen that he sent to inquire of the Lord as to whether there was any means of diverting the divine judgments. Instinctively the human heart turns from God’s threatening judgments to a means of escape. 3. The message of Huldah, the prophetess (vv. 15-20). (1) Confirmation of what the law said (vv. 15r17). She said that all the curses written in the law must follow, for the kins had been so flagrant that God’s wrath could not be restrained. .It was not too late, however, upon repentence to obtain mercy from God, but the outward consequences of sin must be realized. (2) Acceptance of Josiah’s repentance (vv. 18-20). Because of Ids tenderness of heart and -deep penHence,»the Lord said he should be gatliered to Ids grave in peace ami should not see all the evil brought .on Jerusalem and its people. What Huldah' said was true even though Josiah died in battle (II Chron. 35:22-25). IV. Reforms Instituted (23:1-25). 1. The king read the law (vv. 1,2). He gathered together the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, including tlig priests, Levites. and elders, and read unto them the law. 2. The king made a covenant before the Lord (v. ,3). . In this covenant he pledged himself. (1) “To walk before the Lord.” This meant that he would get personally right with God. (2) To "koep God’s commandments and Ids testimonies and his statutes.” This obedience was a heart obedience. It was to be done “with all their heart and all their soul." (3) "To jwrform the words of the covenant which were written in this book." . The king not only entered into this sincerely, but caused all that were present to “stand to” It. 3. The king took away the abominations (vv. 4-20). He not only broke down the places of idolatrous worship, but slew the priests who officiated at the altar. 4. Passover kept (vv. 21-23). So fully and heartily did they enter intd this reformation that this Passover was unlike any that had been held since the days of the Judges. 5. Workers of the occult driven out (vv. 24. 25). All the days of the king they departed not from following after the Lord, the God of their fathers. True Happineca For It Is not in the supreme moments of experience that we find the true material of life. Not on the peaks of joy but on the travel plains of daily existence Is life brought to its finest test. Joy itself Is too much akin to pain. But happiness is joy which has settled down and come to stay. Happiness is habit.—Charles D. Stewart. Universality One of the wonders of the Bible is universality. The black man and the white man and the brown man and the yellow man are at heart the same.— Baptist Record. The True Vision of God The true vision of God has three parts—the inner vision, the outward vision, and the upward vision.—Missionary Worker.

Blend well, adding the dates at the last. Serve very cold. ANOTHER SANDWICH Ever since the nobleman John Montagu, fourth earl of Sandwich, called

for the double slice of bread with a filling of meat or’ cheese, the sandwich has been a most popular “quick lunch.” - Puree of Sardine Sandwich. — Drain

the oil from a large can of sardines. Remove the skins and bones, rub the fish through a fine sieve and to ft add one-fourth of a cupful of creamed butter, two finely chopped hard cooked eggs, salt, pepper and worchestershire sauce to season.
