l all his life. Then the woman came- and Satan came also. in a moment of supreme test, he threw nis wonderful faith aside. like a discarded garment, and entered the great world that beck- oned to him. Dr. Paracelsus Aescula- plus was a travelling quack. In his wanderings he found Pepeeta, a mag- netic Spanish beauty, whom a band of Gypsies had stolen as a baby. Para- celsus bought Pepeeta from the Gyp- sies, taking her with him as his wife; and Pepeeta was the woman who came into David's quiet life, changing all the 1; course of its destiny. Passing through David's town, Dr. Paraeeisus heard of the young Qunker’s wonderful orator- icai gifts, and at once realized his val- ue in the selling of fake medicines. The crafty doctor lured David with fabulous promises of wealth and plea- sure. But, meantime, Pepeeta and David had looked into each 0tlter's eyes-and so David consented to go with the doctor. Gradually the love between David and Pepeeta exceeeded human bounds, escaped beyond their control. David urged her to tice with him, and the woman heeded and went with him to distant paris. The doctor followed and overlook thcm, and in it fierce struggle was left by David for dead. Tortured by the memory of hav- ing murdered tho malt wllo had hc- friended him. David now cast all re- straint aside. He became a drunkartl and a gambler, and descended into the dregs. The gentle Pcpeetn, who had watched his degeneration with n break- ing heart, could no longer tolcrute him, and she lofi. it was iilen that he met thc doctor, blind, old and weak, u.nd living only for vengeance. ’l‘he sight of the doctor was the turning point in David's downward career. llc told the doctor who he was, and with . - wild i'ury the blind l’araccisus, grasp- ing n knifc front beneath his tattered clothes. struck at Dnvld.

_:Ames A|.ExANDER ALLEY.

iieléléiék

At 823, 12th street, Nutana, Sask-

ntchewan, the 17th of November, 1914, there passed from earth'to Heaven James AL Alley. aged 74.' His prayer of childhood days “if I` should die be- fore I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take" was surely answered. for his beloved wife, wakening at an early hour on that eventful morning, found her husband cold in death's embrace.

For two yearsvhe suffered extreme

pain at times, but when these were over, he went about as usual. During that period, he never was confined to his bed for n single day. lie bore the suffering without a murmur and al- ways looked on the bright side of life.

The subject of this sketch was born

in Cardigan, P. E. l., and was the son of William Alley. There was a large family of sons and daughters, but only three sisters remain to mourn. His brother. Wm. B. Alley, editor of the “Colchester Sun," N. S., died last De- cember, and a sister died a little later.

in his own immediate family he

leaves to mourn a sorrowing widow and one son, B. P. Alley, assistant in- spector of the Canadian liank ot' (loin- tnerce at Winnipeg. 'i‘heir only daugh- ter died of diphtheria sonic years ago at the age of 12 years.

in ills early lit`c the late Mr. Alloy

went. to live with his uncle, 'i'hou1as Alley. in Charlottetown. He attended the Academy-~now Prince oi’ Wales College-with his cousin, afterwards known as Judge Alley. lie learned lllc trade of cnrpcntcring, whilc in his uncio's employ,-and was afterwards. foreman in the old iirtn of Peaks Bros. & Co.. inter starting as it contractor and builder on his own account, which trade he followed successfully up to the time he was stricken with that fatal diseastt which ended with a. stroke of npoplcxy.

Converted in early manhood he

lived a consistent Christian life to the end. ilcfort- rt-tiring that night. lm read aloud the 145th psalm and re- marked how beautiful the words were. Sonic time ago talking to his wife on thc subject of doubting, he said: "l have not n single doubt of my conver- sion nnd my acceptance with (‘.hrist." He was remarkably fond of singing nnd never scented to iirc oi' the Gos- pol hymns.

Two weeks before his death he nt-

tended service in Grace Church and partook of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for the last time.

The funeral service was conducted

by Rev. C. W. Brown, pastor oi’ 3rd avenue Methodist Church, assisted by liev. Loich. of Grace Church, and Rev. Horton, of Wesley Church, the remains being laid to rest in the Wood- lawn cemetery to await the final re- surrection. Muclt sympathy was ex- pressed and shown by the kind friends and relatives in Saskatoon for the lonely widow in her very sud and sud- den bereavement.
