and for the time being .von wonld have

her eyes flashed, her flngpis closed np¬ on the warrant.
"Do yon think thnt F fear a srrnp of paper becnnse It bears the seni of inlq<illoua  iiaurrers?    Ixiok!"
And with a quick ranvemont of her feverish flngerg she tore the wnrrnnl
Inlo a hundred pieces. And threw It bit by bit npnn the flames. Rnvand quiet¬ ly watched Ihe Imrnlng pniwr till It waa cnnsnmed. Then, bowing low be¬ fore the Marquise, he said:
"I beg you to accept my rcapects. madame.   The debt Is paid."
'With thIa aalutatlon he retired slo-vv- ly. hat in band, from tbe salon.
Tbe Marquise remained for n mo¬ ment astonished, trying, perhaps, to tlx aome fleeting thought In her ex¬ cited brain. Then she cried out to me Imperlonaly:

fl "At miiluiglit " The Jewiah ired- diiiRS were generally celebrated in the night, yet tliry usually began at the riainf of the eveuing star, but in Ihia caae thera« was a more than oiiliiiary delay. Tbi* waa the most unlil tune for the virgin* tu ob¬ tain the oil Ihey iiwded. "The Bride- ginnm Cometh," Though Christ tarry long. He will come nt last: thoilfh He senna slow, lie is sure. The year of tbe redeemed is lixrd, and il will come. Death and the judgment will come when leaat ex|iccted. "Go .vc oul to meet Him." Here is a summons. What doe* thia mean? It means, go forth to reoaiva tha reeoinpense of, your doing*. What a fears ful thing to lie thua summoned to appeaf before tlie juilge of alt the earth!

Manv who onee have had heart* lilleil with faith aud love hav* allowed a wiirldly spirit lo lake pnssessinn of them, mill now they are entirely backalidden from Gild: their "lamtis" have gone out.
