“ I t will be b e tte r for yon not to see Mr. Ford un til you cau give him a definite answ er," her friend had said, •nil Cela acquiesced in the wisdom of this. “ Of course I can't choose for you. I can only help yon to know yonr own mind.

“ How did you ever choose?" Cels asked, envious of her friend 's ability.

“ I t was easy. 1 just knew."“ T h a t’s i t; you always know every­

"B ut you don 't really have to choose between them . You ju s t——"

“ Oh, yes, I do:'* interrupted Cela very positively. “ It can never be the same. It will ail be different. I should have to give up papa, and I shall most certainly say ‘N o.’ "

This w as in the morning.In the afternoon Mrs. Cassidy and

Cela went for a spin through the parks on their wheels.

“ Oh, Mr. Ford and I have had such lovely lidcs on a tandem that, he has '" Cela said rap turously . " I wish I had written him a note telling where I am staying.

Yon jnet onght to hear him once! And, as you say, I haven't really got to give papa up. He might come and live with us.

There was a breathless moment. Cela's wheel was going very slow; then slower, slower, bu t stra ight •head. Upon its movements hung her fate. Would it decide for Norm? H er heart had almost ceased to beat. One more turn of the pedals would carry h er by. Slower, slower. S ud­denly h er wheel turned sharply to the right.

“ Oh, i t ’s for papa," she said with breath th a t came like a knife in her side. “ Poor Norm ."

In another moment Cela had over­taken her father, and together they tu rn ed down the street, which ran parallel to Columbia avenue.

“ You’re not looking w ell," Mr. B ethuno said.

“ I 'v e been doing some very hare rid in g ," Cola replied, avoiding hi? eyes, for there were tears in h^r own.“ Why, th ere is Nor------, Mr. Ford.*'she exclaimed, as th a t young man came up the side street toward them.

Ford was surprised to find Cela with her father, bn t delighted withal. H er reception was such as one m ight give the ghost of a dear dead friend.

“ H ere are some papers I m eant to give you, but forgot them ."

“ Ob, y es ," replied Bethune, taking the package. “ Yon’ll be up th is even­ing?" he inquired with a look toward his d augh ter which seemed to add, “ now th a t Cela is hom e."

“ Yes," Cela answered quickly for him, and Ford felt he was to know his fate th a t night, and feared w hat it would be. Cela was very pale; her m anner was unm istakable.

After tea Mr. Bethuno sat in his library. Cela bail taken a stool and drawn it near him in the dusk.

“ Oh. papa, he—he has asked me to Le his wife, too!"

"Too? “ I ’m not going to be his wife; you needn't be so frigh tened ."

tha t He should depart, the Greek expr<Ing the act of going ovt*r from one plae* or sphere or another. This Is one reason for or condition in which He love l them unto the end, " to the end of all.the nges." "His own" refers to the group of followers whom He bail chosen, and also the world-wide circle of His dlsoiple&of which these twelve were the nucleus. God's love never changes, never ceases, any more th an tho sun ceases to shine, although men may hide In caves and dungeons from its light.

2. "And supper being ended.'* Tho R. V. Is more correct here, during supper. Jesu«, by waiting till supper was fully begun, gave the disciples ample opportunity to repent and take the lower instead of. the better places, and to wash one an o th er’s feet. "T he devil having now (already) put into the hea rt,” etc. There was stiil hope for Judas, since he was not so u tterly lost ns to plan his treachery all by himself. Satan opened the door, and* Judas, looking in at the riches to which it opened, walked Into the trap .

3. "Jesus knowing."* Fully conscious tha t ho was the Son of God, with all power emi glory, to which he was soon to re tu rn . This verse sets before us tho infinite con­descension of Jesus, and reinforces the les­ion of the act th a t follows.

4. "He riseth from supper.” This was the Passover Supper, not the L ord’s Sup­per, which was instituted later in the even­ing. We must not think of a m odern table, with chairs, as this scone is represented in m any of the famous pictures, but we look upon a low, Eastern tab le, surrounded 03 three sides by couches or cushioned divan*, on which each guest reclines, lying on li’.s left side, and leaning ou the left hand, with his head nearest the table, and his feet stretching back towards the grounfi. Each guest occupies a separate divan, or pillow. Thus It was easy to wash their feet one after another.

5. "H e poureth w ater Into a basin .” Over the feet, tor tho feet were not put Into the water ns with us, but the w ater ifl

(2) As He ad­vanced in knowledge of C hrist’s kingdom, its spirit, and Its work, a* his own charac­ter developed, he would be abb' to com pre­hend how this act symbolized the whole mission of Christ, and expressed the char­acter and work of His disciples.

8. “ Thou shall never w ashm y feet." Tho negative id the strongest form possible. Thou shall by no means wash my feet its long as the world stands. Peter had not yet learned his lesson. To refuse was the sign of neither humility nor obedience, but of pride and unbelief. " I wash thee not, thou ha«t no part with me.” Cannot share my kingdom, my character,!my work.

9. “ Not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."

MURDER IN A BIG STORE.

W arden Sage asks the Prison Commission to secure, If possible, a more general com­pliance by municipalities with the law re­quiring purchases to be made from the S ta te prisons. The Prison Commission ap­pointed President Stewart and Secretary M cLaughlin a committee to confer with the S ta te D epartm ent ot Prisons relative to the m atter.

The Commission adopted a resolution at a meeting held a few days ago condemning tho provisions of tho bill introduced In the Legislature by Assemblyman Roche pro­hibiting the use of prison-m ade furn iture In the schools. The Governor transm itted to the Commission a communication re ­ceived from the labor unions ot Elm ira pro testing against the employment of con­vict labor in the construction of a proposed addition to the Elm ira Reformatory. The Commission, in reply, pointed out the necessity of employing convict labor to carry out the design of the Constitution and the S tate Prisonlaw th a t convicts shall be employed as much as possible In the perform ance of S tate work. The present case, iu the opinion of the Commission, needs but little consideration, as It Is be­lieved by Its members th a t tho Legislature will not make an appropriation for the pro­posed addition to the reform atory.
