located some time after the erection Of the tab

The first verso of chapter 8 of Numbers shows

about 10 months. Mt Sinai was one of the
most important stops made by the pilgrims and
became the most significant of all from his

speaking and hearing faculties were as

pump child TO find this OUT
The mystery of Turkeys Point had bafled
the shrcwdest and most inquisitivc Of the
village. Even Aliens daring was dcfed
by 1t, until he had become desperate.
IL was one Of those calm, quiet starlight
summer nights, and had it not been for tho
constant strain upon his nerves, Allen
would have found the riding pleasant. The
moon did not rise until well on towards
morning. aud the fore part of the night was
quite dark, especially when passing through
the forests.
While gallopng along wooded ridge
Allen heard the sounds Of horses hoofs In
the rear.
"Are we pursucd'' he asked himself
He soon became certain that the hoIso-
man was gaining on them. The fierce ring
Of hoofs became louder every moment
81 might outrun him." said Allen, "but
with this child 70 look after 1t would DO
best TO play game Of hide and seek"
On his left was a narrow, dark path lead
ing down into the woods, and he turned his
horse into Il. Here he waited until his pur~
suer had passed along the road. The ring
Of iron hoofs upon the stony road could be
heard long before the horseman reached tho
point opposite where Allen had rclned IN his
horse When the sound Of hoofs had died

into that young face, dishgurcd with care
and weariness His being part of that
terrible mystery has had fearful effect on
him"
The child had wonderful resemblance 20
Bertha The fair, beautiful face and gold
en- curly hair was similar 10 hers. Undis-
turbed by the easy motion Of the horse, his
slumbers were not disturbed.

himself for having undertaken this journey

not know Was ever man engaged In q

strength for this rural giant, his skill made
him more than his equal.
For several moments Allen had all he
could do 10 parry those sledge-hammer
blows, which fell thick and fast upon him.
But at last he got IN a well-directed blow
from the shoulder, which staggered the
stranger. THIS gave him decided adj
vantage over his antagonist. In a min
ute's time the stranger was down In one
corner Of the Office, yelling murder, while
the man whom he had assaulted was be-
laboring him with telling blows.
Ike Hatchett ran into the sanctum, and,
assisted by Toby, got the men separated.
"What does this meant" Ike asked.
Allen answering that he did not know,
the stranger struggled 10 his feet, grOwl-
ing:

"What piecel have no recollection Of

Allen.
"But yc lied about me- Yc said I stole
