a HOME Friday, Aug Phe Hills of Lif By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory N the tropical regions of the earth it is in the ozone of the higher levels that people, and especially the “strangers in the land,” find their vation. Bnervated and exhausted by the disease-laden air of the lowlands, the laden breezes that have known no contaminating touch, they may be re- strengthened for the battle of life. In the air of the hill regions they find new life, and once more the jaded energies are revived and the tired brain finds a new lease of activity. tropics we turn to the North Temperate Zone. In a famous city of the Middle West an honored Judge, assisted by the “twelve good men and true,” was busy not long ago trying @ most /@MMeult murder case, for an unusually long time; but finally the witnesses were all examined, the moves and counter-moves all made, the speeches all delivered, the charge given, and the jury was led away to find the verdict. So far the story contains nothing that is wonderful, nothing that does . But wait! In the jury room in question something quite uncommon happened, something that never happened before, co far as my knowledge 500s. 6 A member of the jury stood up and sald to his fellow jurymen: “Gen- @epends upon our verdict, and won't you join me in asking the Almighty for light and guidance?” As if moved by some strange, overpowering impulse, the twelve men Aropped to their knees and bowed their heads while the juryman offered ‘ ‘Well, what of it? This—that juror was in earnest. He wanted to do what was right, and to that end he wanted the help of the highest wisdom be could possibly secure. ‘That juror was a real man. He was sincere. He loved truth and jus- his fellow jurymen, and he desired to go about it soberly, seriously and reverently. And now I am going to say to you—and say it flat-ootedly—that It would be a grand thing if all of us had that juryman’s spirit form of mind which takes nothing seriously, which laughs and jests in the presence of life’s most solemn realities. Marriage, the home, morality, politics, the laws--are they not in far too many instances looked upon as constituting but the shifting scenes of This levity has the same deadly effect upon our civilization that the malaria of the tropics has upon the physical health of the people there; ‘and if we would save the only things that make life worth having we need to go up occasionally into the hill regions of life, where the moral ozone come to know what is meant by Truth and Principle.

Croft noted Kyphallos more closely than the rest. He had the swift Hghting of his eyes when Nata ap peared on the stairs; the swift in stinctive parting of his too full lips, the twitch of his nostrils, accompany- ing that first glance of the maid sug- gested for his wife, Now, as he lay on the divan, he found him watching her with what seemed a steady in terest, plying her with gallant con- Versation, finding excuse to frequent- ly touch her hands, staring into her long-lashed eyes. With bis resentment for the Cathurian growing by swift leaps and bounds, he realized that Kyphallos was impressed. Also he thought !t had been better had the wine been less nicely chilled, for Kyphallos drank deep and his eyes began to sparkle as time passed with new toasts prepared and drunk about the board. It came to Croft that Cathur’s prince was losing his head at a time when he had better have kept it, as his voice became more and more loud. The harps struck up @ different measure toward the last tains parted under the b the stairs. A band of dan trooped in.

Beginning to gaace they and was herself bathing Jasor’s flushed neck and face. The doctor came, examined the patient, left some liquid substance to be given in inter® val doses and withdrew. Croft re- mained till evening. Jasor was more quiet by then, and he left. But, phy- siclan as he was, he felt that the young Nodhurian’s days were num- bered, that unless he had the will to recover he would sink slowly and die in the end. And he knew Jasor bad not the will to get well His own will carried him to Himyra in a flash, and to Lakkon’s palaco at once, Night had fallen when he reached it and the central court was @ blaze of light from a myriad of oil- lamps. In the main expanse of the crystal flooring the tables were net forth, decked with flowers and loaded with viands. Serving men and maid- ens of the blue Mazzerian race were still at work in the final preparations. Of Naija or Lakkon there was no sign ‘The latter came down the stairs a one end after some time, however, and sisuing to Bazka, the Mazzerian mal- ordomo, took up a place near the mas- sive doors.

The girl sank to the floor and rose. “Hold!” cried Cathur’s prince. His face was flushed and his eyes shone with an unholy light.

He caught up a goblet of wine and rose. “Hail Adita, goddess of womanly beauty.” he exclaimed “Now, are you perfect as you stand revealed, stripped of the silly trap pings which concealed the greater charms beneath. Flowers are things of beauty in their place, but--woman unadorned is the fairest flower of life, Arise, my friends, and drink with me to woman as she is, this new Adita I have found!” They rose at Jadgor's sign, though Croft caught more than o ance of question passing among the guests So much he saw and turned back to Naia who had risen, too, her face reflecting outraged dignity and ecorn Kyphallos lifted his goblet ands it to his lips, Nala lifted hers and cast it from her so that its contents spilled and flowed ecross the table at ths dancer feet “Thou beast!" her ce came in tones of sharp disp! a sensuous offspring of ‘atbur! thus I drink your toast!

His thoughts were of Jusor as he sat there wrapped in thought. The young man was dying, unless Croft's medical knowl- edge Was all at fault, Yet ihe was dying not from disease in the physical xense. His body was organically healthy.
