In view of that prophecy it is donbly interesting to loara that Professor Willis L.

I   TEDDY TARRION'S CHARGE.   ,^|
NI>EB   the  gleaming | tanned, was   wandering   arnnnd look-
rth,
stars of an African sky two men lay on their backs before their tent doors—the one. Major CopleigU of the Black I.nncers, the other, a mere stripling, Edward Tarrion, or Teddy, as his brother subalterns called him.
The major was about forty, stalwart and hauilsume.lii^t his huir was whiten¬ ing at the temple^.aud Uis eyes were usually clonded willi care. Teddy Tarrisun was (re.lh from school, tall, slight, almost callow in his hlaiidness, bnt fnll of the vigor and joy in lifc,aud he had come like a breath of clear, crisp air to tlie older man, hardened and disenchanted liy sorrows and dis¬ appointments. A curious friendship had sprung up hetween them. Teddy's love for his chief was at first talked of among the younger men as a bit of policy, a clever "bootlick." The ma¬ jor's brother olBcers looked and were interested, for blase and cynical, Cop- leigh wasn't in the hsliit of forming even acquaintances wben it wasn't necessary. Still the fondness grew apace, and the older man had just fin¬ ished telling the subaltern the story of his life. It was a sad story—of hia lonely yonth, without father or mother, without friends, for a natural diftldenoe kept him apart from the gay young fellows of the set in wliioh be belonged. At last he had met the one beiug to whom be had poured out the pent np love of hia life, a rich, passionate, all- absorbing devotion. TUe girl had loved him and for two yoars they were the world and all to each othor. TUen she had died, leaving him a littlu girl. The major sighed. "Poor little wo¬ mau," he said, "I'm all she has in the world, and should auything ever hap¬ pen to lue "
"Great heavens, man! What's go¬ ing to happen to you?"
Tarrion sat up quickly.
Copleigb was silent for several minutes. Then be spoke slowly; "I don't quite know, Ted, but I've got a presentiment—it's been growing on me for the past three days. I really think my time's about up for this world?"
Tarrion's voice was intense with amotion when be answe^d ; v,-,
"Major, yon'ro under the weather. This unbearable beat aud dampness isn't flt for a man like you. Oet leave of abaenoe and go north for a spell. Mainwaring can take yonr place."
Bnt CopleigU shook bis head. "It isn't the weather, old chap," he said. "Besides there's going to be trouble here before long and I've got to be here. Nobody knows these dir'y "*" tives AS I do. Don't worry aliout me."
Bnt Tarrion'did worry. Ho tossed most at the night, an indescriliabfe dread at his heart, horrible visions of sudden death passing rapidly before his vision.   *
And the flext day the Black tiancers made an attack on a native hand and araoug others. Major Coploisb was mortally wonndeil. Ton honrs later when 'Tarrion got back to canip, bis ;yes KulTiised with blood, bis face blai^kened wich powder, he was met by tbe major's orderly and requested to come at once to the officer's tent. In less than two minutes Ted Tarrion was in tbe stuffy tent aud on bis knees beside the rude bed where Oeorge Copleigb lay dying. At the souud of the young man's fixisteps Copleigb opened bis rapidly dimming eyes and smiled faintly.
"Oh, my dear, old friend, I'm so awfully Borry " the young man be¬ gan.
"Yes," said the other softly, and speaking with great difficulty, "I'm gone this time. I knew itwas coming." He stopped and for a few long mo¬ ments only his weakening breath, coining and going, coul.l be heard in¬ side the tent.
At last, with greater difficulty, be weut on:
"I want to ask yon a favor, Ted," he said, "a great favor. My little girl, you know. Hhe's all alone in the world now—and, Ted, 1 want you to be her guardian. Will yon'/" Cop- leiirh's dulling eyes were gazing into his with a wistful intensity nnt In he resisted. He would Uave prmaiHed hini anything.
"Of oourae, I will, old mau, bnt I'm a bit young—isn't it risky to trust her to me?" The older man shook his head. "Yon're tho straigUlest, strongest man I know," Ue sai.l. "and Ood bless you for your kindness." Aud then, after a pause. "Will you send Vincent?" he asked. Vincent was the obaplafn. In half an hour the will of Omirge Copleigb was witnessed and signed, leaving Edward Tarrion tbe guardian and sole trnstee of Ethel Copleigb, baring £201X1 a year. The girl was tben at Mr*. McLain's select seiftiuary for yonug ladies, of No. 100 South Kensington Hqnare
Two years later Edward Tarrion w as registered at a London hotel. He was in England again for tbe flrst time aince be had become the guar- liaa of Major Copleigh'a daughter. He had, of oourse, written Mrs. Mc- Lain at once, informing her of the death of Ethel's father, and that, by tbe lata Major's will, he had become hat guarilian, bnt that it was iiuiiossi- ble tor him to leave the service for quite a 4hile, and would like thiugs to go on as they had been the past tbree years. His reply was purely a busineaa one and thus for nearly a year all communications ha.) wime turough   lawyers.      But now. thai he

To be arrested, beaten snd Im¬ prisoned did uot look much like success In their wnrk; neither did It Inok like success when our blessed Lnrd was arrested, biil- feted,  scourged, crucllled ns a uialelactor.
LssBon IU. -Paul at Thessalonica aud Berea (Acts xvll., 1-I'il. lloldou Text - Acts xvll.. 11, "They received the want with all tho readiness nf mind and searched the Scriptures dally." Some were added, unto the Lord at rhillppl, and Paul passed on to nther cities, for he believed that It wns Uls calling to cause all whom he could reach to see nnd hear the Oospel. It ls4o be sen In our lives and heanl from our lips, and whether we are free or bound, resting In oue place, or persecuted from plnoe to place.

I.Ksaos yil. -Abstaining For the Bake of Others (I Cor. vlii., 1-13). Oolden Text- Bom, xlv., 7, "For none of ua llveth unto himself." 'Thn love that bulldeth up tho bndy of Christ la better than the knowledge lliat pulteth up oueaelf. To pity self, or plense self, or live In any way unto our- .elvcs (Math, xvi., 2a, margin; Rom. xv., 8, 11 Cor. v., 1.1), Is directly opposed to tba iplrit nf ('hrist, nnd, therefore, cannot bs pleasiug to Him; Imt tn deny self and dally to die unto self that Christ may bo snen In us (Math, xvi., 24, 25; II Cor. lv., II). this Is (^hrisllike aud glorllying to Ood. aud thus souls will be won tn Christ.

LssBOS IX. Paul Opposed at Ephesus (Acts xlx.. 21,14. Oold Text -"Take hoed and beware of covetnnaness." The tnnible Ht Kphesiis arose from tlioso who iai.I.
