From the first days of thoir ac
quaintance Mrs. Hartnett had had to
contend with Hartnett’s jealousy. A
person is born jealous just as he is
born with blue eyes or r liking for
chocolates. Hartnett had full meas
ure of that evil trait.
Before they were married it had
been different. At first it had been a
joke, then a certain jrJeasute to Helena
to find how she could sway his moods.
Hartnett was handsome and popular
and sought after, and it was rather
complimentary than otherwise to have
him glower and sulk if she smiled on
anyone else -or talked longer to an
other man than himself. There was
y
a certain excile
nient in seeing
him sink into
wrath and then
bringing him back
to his normal
state merely by
turning her atten
tion to him.
It gave her a
sense of power
which would have
been sweet to any
girl, no matter
how sensible or
well-meaning. It
thrilled her to rev
lize that he cared
about her so
much and there
fore was unaMo
to keep a well
balanced point of
view. To be sure,
after tney were
engaged she
laughed at him
frankly and toll
him that he was
foolish. lie ..c
knowledged the
fact, out ceemed
unable to banish
his spells of jeal
ousy.
b'he often re
membered these
little scenes and
wondered rather
dully how she
ever had been
able to smile over
V. / them — for even
“Can t neip It.’’ after they had
been married several years Hartnett
( had not broken himself of the habit.
Not that he made scenes, but the at
mosphere of rebellion, of protest, of
indignation with which I e surrounded
her on occasion was depressing to say
the least, it was not that he resented
the presence of any particular person,
hut that he resented any withdrawal
of her attention from himself even for
a few brief moments.
"He is merely a sulky little boy,"
Ahs. Hartnett frequently dd herself.
“I must remember that and try not to
mind.”
But she did mind. At last indigna
tion grew uppermost in him feelings.
That she should* lie conscious of giving
her every thought and all her affection
to him and yet not succeed in satisfy
ing him roused her resentment. Fi
nally she discovered that she did not
care very much whether Hartnett was
indulging in a fit of jealousy or not.
Then the inevitable happened—she
awoke to the realization that she did
not care for Hartnett. His state of
mind made abs dutely no difference to
her. That was why when his firm
wanted to send him abroad f< a cou
ple of years he went alone. They had
drifted too far apart even to consider
going together. There was a mutual
forbearance which prevented any
words, hut each knew.
As the day waned which witnessed
Hartnett's departure from Chicago
Helena Hartnett sighed in relief. That
is, she thought it was relief. The pros
pect of unbroken weeks and months
ahead of her in which she would he
free to live and breathe and think
without the hampering fear of precipi
tating trouble was welcome.
No man who really cared for his
wife could make her miserabh in the
way Hartnett had made her. She did
not pretend to herself to he happy
since it was ail over and she might
never see him again, hut at least she
was free from that awful, ever-present
cloud of j a.ions .• mage. She told
herself that as ti : w at on sin

Hartnett ca ,;o ' . ;k, o. course, sht

and he held her speechless, his face

“I—I've learned,” he began, bro
kenly.
"Don't!" Helena Hartnett choked.
"It doesn't make any difference
whether you have or not—and I don't
believe you have or ever will—but_”
“I've learned not to be a fool, Hele
na.” said Hartnett. '
Being a woman, she believed that he
believed it. though she knew a leopard
cannot change his spots. She, too, had
learned that the fact that they cared
for each other outweighed everything
else.—Chicago Daily News.

WORKERS, HEAR
THE CALL TO DUTY
On next Sunday at 11 a. m. will open
our campaign against sin in Newark,
i One year ago the fifth Sunday in June
we began our historic, and eventful
meeting. Its glories need not be re
hearsed. They are heralded by •the
lives of noble and true men who came
to Christ during the meeting. The
want now is workers; workers, for this
great movement. And I feel you will
respond, man to man.
This call embodies another item.
We want the middle block of seats,
for those who came in last year; all
the converts who have or have not
joined any church, to come and line
up with us next Sunday at 11 a. m.,
and we want to call the roll. Don't
Vou want to hear it? I do. Then, in
addition to this, the day is •'Stainless
Flag Day" throughout Arkansas. A
program will be obsered. but not “a
strait jacket” one. All are cordially
invited to attend.
Our hours for service throughout
the week will be in the afternoon
! and N: 15 at night: preaching at 8:do.
Meet at 8:15 and begin the song and
prater service. We expect Rev. W.
K. Hall to do the pulpit work, or the
most of it. All of Sulphur Rock is
invited; we can stand the *‘overflow”
on an occasion like this. Also Leb
anon and the regions round about.
Do we all want a wave of salvation
and glory to sweep up the line like it
did last "year? Then do your part,
and your best. No man should lie
content with nothing less than his
best. ” Bless the Lord, oh, my soul,
and all that is within me bless Ilis
holy name."
Jas. F. Jernioan, Pastor.

TELLS OF GORDON'S WEAKNESS.
Lord Cromer Throws Light cn History
of Hero of Sudan.
In his book, “Modern Egypt," Ix>rd
Cromer, for 20 years the representa
tive of British au hority in the l^nd
of the khedive, gives the other side
of the heroic story of Gen Gordon's
rule in Khartum, where he was slain
by the fanatical natives. Lord Cro
mer twice rejei *- d the proposal to
send Gordon to the Sudan. "Would,”
he says, "that 1 had done so a thirl
time!" He soon woke to Gordon’s
variability. He says: “Impulsive
flightiness was, in fact, the main de
fect of Gen. Gordon's character, and it
was one which, in my opinion, ren
dered him unfit to carry out a work
which pre-eminently required a coo!
and steady head. 1 used to receive
20 or 30 telegrams from Gen. Gordon
in the course of the day when he was
in Khartum, those in the evening often
giving ( pinions which it/was impos
sible to reconcile with others dis
patched the same morning."
This stream of telegrams from
Khartum was so continuous that Lord
Cromer had to adopt a special meth
od of dealing with them. "I gen
erally found a batch of them wait
ing for me when I began my work
in the morning," he says. "My prac
tice was to put them on one side and
wait till themfte. noon, by which time
more had * nerailj arrived. I used
then to compare the different tele
grams to try to extract from them
what it was that Gen. Gordon
really wanted, and then to decide
vhat could be done toward carrying
out his wishes.”
Lor> Cmmer say. , also: "One of
the leading features of Gen. Gordon's
strange character was his total ab
ence of self-control. He was liable
to fils of ungovernable and often of
most unreasonable passion. He
formed rapid opinions without delib
ation and rarely held to one opinion
long. His journal, in which his
thoughts from day to day are re
corded. is, even in the expurgated
form in which it was published, a
mass of inconsistencies.*'
Gen. Gordon's courage is •varmly
praised by Lord Cromer, who says fur
ther: "Many a man before Gen. Cor
don has laid do\vn his life at the call
of duty. Many a man, too, has striven
to regard death as a glad relief from
pain, so row and snrTe ing. But no
soldier about to lead a forlorn hope,
no Christian martyr tied to the stake
or thrown *o t’-e v. iM hea -ts of ancient
Romo, ever i'aH death with more un
concern than Gen. Gordon.”
