Try Sunlight, and the hardest part of | It was a Sunday morning in mid- May. Judith Biggs, rising after little sleep, looked out at the dandelion blows gleaming like gold pieces on the bit of lawn underneath her win- dow, at the blue skies and the joy- ous sunshine, and realized that she was 50 years old that day and Had never done anything in. her life. that was really worth doing. Nobody had remembered that Rn was her birthday, and nobody would. Judith was not given to self-pity. For such a scrap of little old wo- man-hood she was very brave aud eheerful usually, but that morning she felt almost ill, and her bugbears looked bigger and blacker and more tertityifig by reason of it. 'There was one whole room and & piece of a room. Judith ate, slept, lived, and cooked in the whole room. The piece held her trunk and her clothes. Mrs, Halloran, who owned he house and rented to Judith, us- all of the sécontl room save the little piece that was Judith's and, sometimes she encroached on that, too. There were several small Hal- forans and all their extra clothifg hung in that room. Judith could hear the noisy merry breakfasting below as she prepared her own tea and toast. Her place was in order and she was sitting down to read her bible when the church bells began to ring. Judith sat listening. She loved the sound of the bells and knew them all She had been hearing them iil her life. x This morning, however, though the call was there as insistent as ever, she had no inclination to heed. ee IE TA Rr ae | An Even Balance had overtaken her and was holding out his hand. "Judith, surely in spite of all the years you remember me as I remem- ber you?" She gave him her hand. Trembl ing, pale, but brave, she looked into his eyes. 'I have never forgotten you," she said. : "Judith," Mrs. Granger .was speaking. "Mr. Sterling is going home with us to dinnér, and you must come, too. Now, don't say no. I won't hear it." "She isn't going to shy no," said the preacher, and he smiled' as he spoke. So 'Judith went home with the Grangers to dinner, and while Mrs. Granger hustled abott her dinner getting, and Mr. Granger, with his cuffs off, aided her, Judith sat with Mr. Sterling on the shaded veranda and they got acquainted.

The congregation rustled and drift- | Y ed by her--such a small congrega- tion. 5 The bell ceased, the organ play- ed, the congregation began to hunt il through their hymnbooks for the opening hymn. The door behind the pulpit opened and the minister came forth. He was a slender man with hair too white for his fine, thin, hrown face. It was a sad face, cd, too, but with a kindness and goodness and sweetness in it that must have won hearts. His dark, keen eyes rested at last on one face a little, white uplifted face that shone flowerlike in the dimmest cor- ner. He had recognized Jedith in- stantly. : And she had recognized him. Af- ter 32 years she still saw in him the dear looks of the man she had loved that other May time. She never had seen him since -- never had heard his name mentioned. Now he was there before her at last. He had come honored to this holy place. The worthless dreamer had become God's man. The service went on and the min- ister began to speak. The title of the sermon, he said, was "The Even Balance." Less cleverly than clear- ly he raveled his theme. Life was early placed in the scales. On ope side were Sorrow, trial, disappoint- ment: on the other joy, fulfillment, success. No life was either all one thing or the other. For every sor- row there was joy; for every disap- pointment a success; for every trial a fulfillmfent. It was God who inaintained the even balance. His finger touched the scales that held our poor fortunes and kept them steady. He made up to us for all. As he preached Judith forgot the messenger and remembered only the massage. When at last his volee ceased she bowed her head and pray- ed silently in a spirit of thankful nese. : JAfter the benediction there was a little rush toward the pulpit to shake hands with the minister, But Judith turned away. She was too timid to approach him. She felt as it she were in 4 dream.

This immediate popularity is accounted for by the fact that this great illustrated weekly presents the WAR NEWS from all sides without favor or bias.

Nature's Warmest Overcoat for the chilly days is a food that makes rich blood and good muscle, supplying the natural warmth of the healthy body.
