long days trip. 1t was some time near
the middle of the afternoon when San
tigo left the train. though nobody saw
him go. He managed the matter very
neatly. 1t was in a canyon at a place
where the train made a sharp turn, 80
that after passing it sintago was out OF
sight from the Mexicans behind for a
minute or two. He turned short of the
trail, took five or six steps into the
bushes, and stopped behind a big rock.
The burros behind him. following the
sound Of the bell ahead. kept to the
trail, and had closed up the gap before
the two Mexicans got around the turn.
They did not notice that one was gone,
and 1t was not until we got near the
station. at s o'clock. that found that
Sintago, with the specimens. was miss

We give an earnest welcome now
From every heart and home.
You cannot feel Ike strangers here
Such thing could never he.

And brethren all are we.''
And tho we work IN different lands,
Our work is still the same
To do what boys and girls can do,
In Jesus blessed Danie. I.

Strong words OF help and cheer,
Hark! From Juniors everywhere

From Juniors who, with their own flags,

And who, with glad. unfalterng step,
Are marching round the world
Then let US pass the greeting on.

praises of the various countries in which
Junior Endeavor societies exist.
