On what small hinges do world
events swing. A shower of rain on
the battlefield of Waterloo soft
ened .the ground, delayed Napo
leon's cavalry and gave Blucher
time to come up and strike the
blow that saved Wellington and
crashed Napoleon. When through
the Intrigue of Euseblus with
Emperor Constantino the ''her
etic'. Arlus was abont to bo re
stored to power in Alexandria,
Arlus, an era man, suddenly died;
and thsrNlcene creed with its for
mula for the divinity ot Jesus,
was preserved triumphant. At
Varennos a berllne stood tor six
hours because : the ehango ot
horses was at the other side ot
the village, and fugitive Louis
XVI and Marie Antoinette, almost
at the border, were apprehended
and taken back to Paris and to
the guillotine. In March, 1917,
Cossacks with lifted sabres, rode
down the people who stirred an
gTlly on the Nevsky Prospect; and
were met with (strangest ot all
weapons) laughter! And a mon
archy and an epoch fell crashing
into oblivion.
.Yes, on what small rudders do
great ships change their courses
Jerry McCauley, drunk, drifted
into -an east side mission, was
converted, and became an impas

An annoyed American officer at
West Tolnt borrowed a four
pounder cannon and powder to
shoot at the British ship "Vul

his rendesrous with Benedict Ar
nold. This tiny bombardment
forced the "Vulture" to shift her
position in the Hudson with the
result (aided by other causes)
that Andre's plans were changed.

and perhaps the revolutionary

Sometimes these events seem
fortuitous; sometimes we. acclaim
them as providential. Look back
over your own life at the forks in
your road. See how many seem

diverted your path.
"Whither the impulse of the

These minor events which yet
may turn the destiny of our lives.
do they stir Just an emotional
whim; or do they stimulate the
will which has a developed plan.
The steersman on a mighty ves

turns his wheel. He sets his
course by the eternal stars.
Through the darkest night, and
through the deepest fog he drives

arise; but the man masters his

As Mary stood waiting for the ele

faced men with black brows were
conversing with scarcely a move

Mary stepped out of the lift and saw,
at the end of the short corridor, an
open door. As she hesitated a mo

to her. The room, when she entered
it, proved to be the parlor of a suite
which was rather extensive. Through
a side door she observed the rich
furnishings of a small dining room.
Buck Landers smiled with slight
pleasantness. It was evident that
he was not to go into any paroxysm
of delight , at her appearance. His
eyes, though, like steady gimlets,
were observing her closely as she
came toward him. . . .

made young girl no taller than his
