His enemy fell and fractured his skull upon the curb. Jed was two months in prison; then he was found guilty of a minor degree of manslaughter and imprisoned for one month longer. When he came out he began to study for the ministry. Because he had killed a man, he resolved to devote his life to saving men. He went to a dis- “It May Be,” He Answered. tant state, where he was unknown, and obtained a pastorship there. It was there he met and wooed his first and only sweetheart. Before he asked her to be his wife he told her the story. And she, clinging to him, vowed to let her love and trust accompany them all their days together. Two years later a man who had known Williams in his own state came to the town. The story became pub- lic property. A majority of the con- gregation of the First church stood by him, but he resigned rather than cause a split. Again he started life anew, and in ten years was minister of one of the largest churches in Chicago. And again the story came to light. Again Williams began in a country parson- age. He himself accepted his chastise- ment humbly, as his punishment, but his wife never ceased to rebel against the fatality that pursued him. However, his seven years at Kings- ton had passed uneventfully, and then followed the three at Elmer. They were growing old now; earnestly they prayed that the miserable secret might be allowed to remain in its grave. Then, the day before, a man of the old Chicago congregation, who*®was visiting Elmer, had met Williams on the street. In the man’'s embarrassed looks and hesitating words the parson read, not only the remembrance of his secret, but the fact that he had ak ready made it public property. “Jed,” suggested his wife, “don’t you suppose that if—if you hadn’t resigned from all those posts so precipitously the people would have stood by you?” He shook his head mournfully. “It may be,” he answered, “but I couldn't be the cause of differences among my people. No, my dear, we must leave Elmer. Only there is something to be done first.” “Yes, Jed dear?” The old man rose and stood before her; a fire burned beneath the patient humility of his bearing. “Hitherto, my dear, I have—well, run away,” he said. “But this time I am going to make my confession be- fore God and to my people!” “Jed! Not after all these years!” faults, not only to God, but to one's fellow-man. 1 should never have found the strength to do this today had I not had reason to believe that once more my old sin had come to light. But now before I go, before I leave Elmer foraver, I want to make this explanation to you, my friends, trusting that you will pardon me in your hearts and be merciful to one who sorely needs mercy.” So saying, he stepped down from his pulpit and prepared to leave. His wife was waiting for him at the church door, as they passed out alone, behind the silent congregation. She i slipped her arm through his. Then both became aware that a throng of people was awaiting them, and, at the " head, stood Frances Minturn and Peter James. The latter advanced and took the pastor by the hand. “Mr. Willams, we want you to stay,” he said. “We all want you. The ! request is unanimous. We have never had a pastor of whom we have been prouder.” Willlams looked at him in amaze- ment. “But—but how can you speak for the congregation?” he inquired. “You have not had time to ask, to learn how they feel—" “Indeed, yes,” answered the other. “The matter was threshed out three years ago before you came. You see, Mr. Willlams,” he added, “Elmer has known this all the time.” (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.), MANY COLDS DUE TO BATH Not Always Easy to Aaeoun( For, but ‘That Is One of the Most Com- mon Causes of Annoyance. One of the peculiarly aggravating things about a cold in the head is that its origin is so difficult to trace. It may have been caught while stand- ing before an open window, or riding on a street car without sufficient wraps, or finding a concert hall or church drafty, but in the majority of in- stances the question must be left un- answered. This is especially annoy- ing to the thoughtful person, for it handicaps the prevention of similar exposure; we cannot guard ourselves unless we know against what we need to guard. | One of the most prolific causes of . catching cold, however, is often over- looked. This is a bath. First of all, few people seem to bear in mind that rubbing with a towel after a bath is not mainly for the purpose of drying oneself. That needs to be done, of course, but if we take a bath and then merely dry ourselves wtih the towel, we are deliberately inviting a | cold. { If the skin be merely dried, much moisture will remain. This will evap- orate quickly. Evaporation, as is well known, is perhaps the speediest meth- od of producing cold that exists. It cools the skin too quickly, and a se- vere cold is often the result. The action of cold water, moreover, ; holds the blood back from the skin, | leaving it without this warming pro- tection. The toweling after a bath should be vigorous and prompt. The fric- tion should be so energetic that the skin becomes reddened, for the red- dening shows the return of the blood to the surface. This will prevent many colds to which people are subject. | Another reason why we catch cold in a bath is due to the shape of mod- ern bath tubs. In many instances, in order to cover the whole body, the | neck and shoulders are lowered into | the water, so that—especially among wet, enough to saturate a couple of inches of hair above the neck.
