It had been very carefullytaken out; no one except a person ac-customed lo handling rare hooks couldhavo done It BO neatly. What am 1 todo, Blake? I am perfectly Innocent, 1swear.

"Ah, professor," muttered SextonBlake, "if you are going to replacethat sheet you will be surprised!"

But it was not the. professor, outhis daughter. She was carrying thelanding-net and a candlestick. She .sup-pressed a cry of terror . as SextonBlake rose out of the shadow and con-fronted her.

"I have replaced it," he said. "Themissing folio is' not in the landing-net.Miss Corley."

She knelt at his feet."Oh, Mr. Blake," she sobbed, "spare

my father! He is good and noble tnevery other thing but this. Your pres-ence here -terrified him, and be toldme what he had done. He has a fourthcopy of that hateful book with onepage missing—the page he stole. Hedid not steal it for gain, for he is veryrich. And Dick and I love each otherso. Mr. Blake! And the shame—theshame!"

"Come, come!" said Sexton Blake."Matters are not so dreadful, MissCorley. I am not a monster. I shallgive your father a piece of my mindin the morning that will cure him,and be Dick's best man nt the wed-ding. Good-night!"

AN ENTERING WEDGE.

We noticed that hi the new ordi-nace which was introduced at theCouncil meeting on Wednesdayevening, to provide for licensingand regulating ihe bottling busi-ness in Hammonton, there weretwo little points in which it differsfrom the ordinance now in force,and which may produce unhappy.results.

The old ordinance permitted thebottling of beer, ale and porter,—bad enough, — but the proposednew- ordinance adds WHISKY tothe list. This will add to thenumber of places where this archenemy of everything good can bebought, and by the quart. Thebottler pays just half as much forhis licfense as the retail dealer ischarged.

Further, the' new ordinance willpermit the sale of a half-dozenbottles of malt liquors, while a fulldozen was the low limit before.Thus, a man can buy just enoughto fill his pockets or treat a fewfriends,—instead of .having it deliv-ered at home and used during hisleisure.

Everything that tends to loosenthe restrictions that are intendedto biudjdowu 'the liquor traffic andlessen its evil influence; everyadditional privilege granted to thedealer, tends to increase his cursedbusiness, and tightens the serpent'scoil about the community.

We do not attempt to place theresponsibility for this innovation ;but a majority of Town Councilwill,.have to bear the blame if itbecomes a law. Don't pass it,gentlemen.

We have thus.called attentiont<> the matter, and our readers willhave ample time to manifest theirdisapproval, and ask that the newordinance be no amended as toeliminate the objectionable partsreferred to.

Don't w a i t ; do it now !

It was Ktatcd on the street thatwhen Ton'y Colawmlo brought histeam to haul the fire apparatus toa recent lire, the Chief would notpermit him to hi tch on, but waitedfor a Hernslioime team. As t h inHounded very u n l i k e l y , we linkedChief Walther, and learned t l i u twhen Toiiy'h team arrived, all theapparatus had gone, and both hilland a IterilslioitMe team were wiltback. We cannot nee that anyinjustice wan done anyone. Therule JH,-—tlHi first teams to arriveare used, no matter whose ; andt h i H rule III IH been obeyed str ict ly,

We notice that people are takingmore pride in the appearance o(their premises. Thin iti the t ime ofyear to make- improvement)).

Mutt. 38:18-20.

The Risen Lord is about to becomethe Ascended Lord. His victory overdeath has been proven. , His Identityhas been established. Charges of"fraud" or "deception" or "foul play"can no longer be made. His claims,have been verified. He laid down Hislife, Ho bus taken it up again. Hisvisible presence on earth is no longernecessary. He must now even ascend ."far above all heavens that He mightnil all things." "Man's .Wounded God"and "God's Perfect Man" must takeup His position at the right hand ofthe Father, sway the sceptre of uni-versal power and as King of kingsreign in majesty and glory, orderingall things that the kingdoms of the

_Jtorld_wlll become His, and that nonewhom the Father had given Him maybe lost. The "Homeless One" willBoon go home 'and prepare a place for-His chosen ones and through His go-ing make possible the preparation ofHis beloved for the place prepared forthem. Before He goes He must-speakto His immediate followers. He has a

: flnal message for them. He issues Hisregal proclamation. "His words aremajestic," and "hived in them" arelessons of permanent import and pres-ent value. The message presents.

First: A Person of unlimited power.There is not a word in'this messagedeclaring or proving His identity. Noargument i? produced to verify thereality of His resurrection. No "peacebe with you." All these features whichcharacterized and marked His wordsand appearances since Easter morningarc absent. They are needed no long-er. The final message must bear theimprimatur of a King. It must haveJJie stamn of absolute Authority. Itmust show the. character of the Persondelivering it. And therefore He saysall power—all authority—is given untoMe in heaven and earth. It Is theRisen Christ who speaks, and theRisen Christ is the Crucified Christ,and the Crucified Christ is the Christ•who was born as Mary's Son in Bethle-hem. It is. therefore, the IncarnateChrist, the God-man—their ElderBrother, their Companion, who not only

T makes this claim of unlimited author-ity and power, but makes it for Htm-

, self. And the very fact that kingsand empires have come and gone, andthat powers have waned and kingdoms

. -melted away, but the Church is prayingyet a thousand years the same, provesbeyond all question that the claim hasreality underlying It. Its verity hasbeen established. The God man , JesusChrist reigns. He has absolute sover-eignty. The command which follows,the proclamation which He Issued, hasUpon It the stamp of Him whoseauthority Is supreme; whose power Isunlimited; whose reign IB absolute.

This JR of present value to theChurch. Our authority comes from a 'Person whone author i ty Is absolute.Our credentials hnvr- the seal of nKing who linn been Invested with un-limited power. From t h l H Houree theChurch receives her authorization to

\ (jo to the uttermost parts of the worldfind set up tho kingdom of the Klni?among all nations.

.Second; A program of universalscope, It Is not at all Hlurt l lng (hutsuch a proclamation should be givenby Hiich a pel-win. Any other wouldhave been disappointing, to Hay thdleant.

Jessie should have been one of tbehappiest little girls that ever lived.She had a beautiful (J|Dme in the coun-try, a dear, kind father and m6ther,and several -brothers and sisters wholoved her very much. As a rule, Jes-sie was happy, and If it had not. beenthat she carried about a little heart't''.'t-hll'.t n"' lieop made good by theprecious blood of Jesus, her life wouldhave been almost as free and joyousus that of Adam and Eve when Godlir.st put them into His beautiful gar-den.

The pantry wasclose to the kitchen, and very oftenJc-ssie felt shu could not resist thotemptation ot slipping In quietly andpartaking of the contents of the bot-tle Whatever do you think was init'.'

One day she lifted the bottle fromits place, and as usual started to un-screw tht: ;id. when, to her dismay,tht, neck and all broke off, and thetiny white grains went rolling overthe tloor. It was not very difficultto gather up the spilled sago, bijtt nopower could mend that bottle!

Jessie looked at It, and the tearsjumped out of their places and rolleddown her cheeks, while her heart beatso loudly that yh« could hear it.Whatever would she do? Of course,It would be found out, and, oh, howhot and ashamed she would feel whenmamma' knew she had stolen the sago!

The pony (rap wns wn'ting outsideto tnke mamma to town for the after-noon, and Jessie almost wished shemight never see her again. Whatshould who do? At lust she decided:

"I'll go and tell her at once; It wouldIH' twice a« bad for anyoffe else tofind out and tell her." So 'she wentoff to mamma's- room, and throwingher 'arm around her neck, said:

THE INFLUENCE OF OUR ASSO«-CIATES.

2 Cor. 6: 14-1T.

Wo cannot have any asaoclation wltoother people ..without exercising an In-fluence' upon them either for good orfor evil. And in like manner we can-not help receiving Impulses towardgood or toward ovll through our asso-ciations with others.

The nature of the Influence whichwo exert upon others is determined1

by our character to a much * greaterextent than by any intentional efforts-that we may mako to Influence themeither for good or for evil. _And,thenature of. the impulses that we receivethrough our association with otherswill depend upon ourselves more thanupon them, For we shall only recelvd-Impulses for (jood, even from people

If wo associate with them, as Jesus'did, only for the purpose of dotng-them goixl, and If In all our associa-tion with them we make this purpose-very evident, us Hc did, But If weassociate with evil-minded people on1

their own level, seeking their com-pany or accepting it, for the pleasureor advantage to be derived from asso-ciation with them, then we shall In-evitably receive, harmful Impulsesthrough that association.

Tn the topic texts we have a. veryemphatic warning against marriagesbetween believers and unbelievers.The reasonableness of this warning !eself-evident. The believer's life and allhis thinking should be based on hislove for and trust In Christ", and IfIt Is so, he cannot have perfect fel-rlowshlp with one who Is not in sym-pathy with him in this supreme ob-Joot of life. Either there will be alack of fellowship with Christ or therewill, be a lack of fellowship between-husbaml anrt wife.'

Either of theso conditions is harm-ful, but.lack of fellowship with Cartst"Is a very much greater evil than lackof fellowship between husband andwife, nnd It Is the fellowship withChrist that Is usually sacrificed. BV>ptho mere fact of choosing a husband ,or wife who does not profess to love*Cbrlpt Is pretty good evidence that thef' l irlstlan who makes such a choice,loves tho other person more than h»or she loves Christ.

Chrlstlnns sometimes marry unbo-lievors In the hope of winning themover to the service, of Christ, and once'In u long while that hope In realizedIn the end. Rut the. Christian whoacts on this way IUIH no right to ex-pert success, because be or sho be-gins by doing wrong, nnd wo'have no-rlsht to do evil that good may come,or to oxjpoo.l (!od'.i help wlien wolunoro HlH IIIWH.

For nearly ten years after the close•of the great American Civil War, be-

—twoon—1865—arid—1876-that—is-to-say,-tho States of Kansas und Missouriwere terrorized by a band of outlaws,Jed by two notorious robbers namedJesse and Frank Jame&>.

But at the.giving information to the authorities,or helping them in any way, was alsopretty certain to be murdered sooner•or later.

Many attempts were made to breakup the gans, and. especially to capture

Wicher must have seen .his mistakeby this time, and bitterly regretted it.

"Forbes had telegraphed from Dov-er announcing his coming," said SirJohn Robinson, "the printers had beenwaiting, and thus the country heardof those terrible days for the firsttime.

Deaf .to His Wife's Pleading.The central figure of the drama was

.a certain John,Wicher, a New YorkPoliceman, and as plucky a man as•ever wore shoe-leather. He also wassomething of an. enthusiast, and" hiswhole nature revolted at the accounts

•of the cruel deeds that were continual-ly perpetrated by the James Boys andtheir band of cut-throats.

He took to reading the accounts oftheir crimes aloud to his young and

, pretty wife, whom he had just mar-rled,-but she only shuddered, and beg-ged him to desist. Then he talkedthem over with his fellow constables,,and finally he got the idea into hishead that he was called upon to catchthe James Boys, and to wind up their•careers of crime.

His wife now grew seriously alarm-,•ed, and begged him not to enter on.any such dangerous enterprise, but hewas deaf to 'even her entreaties. Hegot leave of absence from his supe-riors, called on Allan Plnkerton, thehead of America's most famous detec-•tlve agency, and begged that gentle-man to send him to Missouri after theJames Boys. .

But Mr. Plnkerton demurred. Sev-eral would-be James Boys catchershad already come to grief, and thisunpleasant fact was Impressed uponricher. H did not servo as a warming,however: on tho contrary. It only•seemed to increase his zeal In bis self-chosen task. So Plnkerton at last con-sented.

No Indian at the stake ever diedmore bravely, no . Christian martyrever perished more grandly than thisill-starred detective, this John Wicher.

Nor was It a death died altogetherin vain. For so cruel and cold-bloodeda murder, preceded as it was by tor-ture, aroused such hitter resentmentagainst the^perpetrators that no peacewas granted them, either by night orby day. It -was felt that such -wildbeasts in human shape must not onany account be allowed to cumber theearth. •

They were hunted wherever and

Above all, he must have suffered ago-land could only say he hoped the-storynies as he thought of the pretty and | was exaggerated.

"When Forbes wakened from hisslumber amid all this turmoil what aspectaclelft: was! His face was blackwith powder, his eyes red and inflam-ed, his clothes matted with clay anddust. He was a dreadful picture.

Town Council Meeting.

A special meeting was held onWednesday evening, called by theMayor. All present.

Clerk read a circular from theSecretary of State, containing twoor" three sections from the new elec-tion law, which require Council"to"immediately" redistrict the Townwhere, four hundred or more voteshave been cast in any precinct.

As Committee of the Whole,with Mr. Sharpe presiding, Councildiscussed the matter thoroughly,and decided that a division intofour precincts was advisable, bothpresent precincts having cast overfour hundred votes.

It was considered necessary tocanvass the latest, registry books,to determine the boundary lines ofnew precincts ; and as this couldnot be done in an evening, theClerk was authorized to employ aman ^preferably an assessor) toassist in locating voters, and reportat a later meeting. The divisionmust be made by ordinance, andcompleted by May i5th. Such anordinance will have to be intro-duced at next regular meeting, onMay loth, and be passed withinfive dSys thereafter.

Subject of watchmen at various-railroad- crossings introduced, andMr. Sharpe instructed to take upthe matter with proper officials.

A letter was read from E. A.Stevens, State Road Commissioner,enclosing specifications for suchimprovement of Main Road andBellevue Av. as he wotfld approve,and suggesting that Council pro-cure estimate of cost. Referred toHighway Committee, who will tryto push the business.

Adjourned at 9.48.

Arthur H. Irons, son of a formertownsman Howard L. Irons, diedon Sunday, April i6th, at the homeof his aunt, Mrs. Roger Beatty, atPhoenix, Arizona, 24 years old.A beautiful Christian death.

THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENTin poultry fence construction ever known was made whenelectric welding was introduced. It sounded the deathknell of the light, flimsy netting and of light poultry fencesof all kinds. This radical change over old methods wasmade by the Pittsburgh Steel Company and was incor-porated into its now celebrated "Pittsburgh Perfect"fencing, for hogs, sheep, cattle, farm purposes and jforlawns and poultry. This fencing is manufactured ex-clusively by them. Efcctrio welding also placed wraps.plumps and tics in the waste wire class.
