The old story Of Prometheus is q

of intimacy with the gods. From
them he stole fire, and gave it to
men. For this sin he was bound to
the rocks of Mount Caucasus, and
vultures were set upon him. They
only ate his liver. This grew again
as fast as it was picked away. Are
his sufferings to be imagined2
Take modern Interpretation of
the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. In cooking and eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is
overtasked, the bowels become clog.

that is given them. The impurities

Gods sake, whose word you preach,
try and save my boy Will no one
help a poor mother 7" She wept
bitterly, while the parson in imagi-
nation felt himself defying the mob,
and also in Imagination saw the
CHASTITY tragedy that would ensue on
his interference.
"Come, Mrs. Mace, let us 60 and
hurry and perhaps we may be able to
do s)me good" Selling his hat, he
ran from the room and followed the
crowd of miners. whom he saw were
making for some trees about half
mile out OF town. When he finally
caught up with them, all the grim
preparations were made for the exc
cution. The rope was around the
shivering youths neck. Six stall
wart men held the loose end, ready
at signal to launch the criminal
into eternity. With his boyish face
flushed with excitement, the parson
pressed to the front and stood side
by side with the man about to die.
A silence fell on the throng, broken
by Texas Joe, who said Now,
parson, this amt no place for you.
Judge Lynch has had his say, and
Jim Mace is going to be hanged, and
that's So"
"And who are you to take upon
yourself to judge and to execute I
Don't scowl at me and finger your
your gun, for I'm an unarmed man,
and you know it. Have you not
enough blood on your hands already
without killing this boy who has
broken your LAVISH Give him one
more chance, and you may be glad
yourself of it one day.
The fury that occasionally comes
over men of quiet meek dispositions
was on the little man who stood de.
flying the whole mob. His look
seemed to daunt even the men who
held the rope, and it hung loose
about Mace's neck.
Joe saw his authority trembling
in the balance, and with pistol rails
ed, said +: "Clear him out of the way
boys, or I'll shoot him where he
stands"
mo, you won't, Joe," said the
parson undauntedly. "You know
that would be murder, and they
don't love you too much, even here,
to stand that"
No one spoke for moment then
the Cornishman, Treleavan, shouted
out "a life for life If the par.
son wants Mace to live, let him be
hanged instead"
The mob shrank from this cold
blooded proposal, and, Selling the
psychological moment, the parson
slipped the halter from Mace's neck,
placed it round his own and said |:
$50, my lad, turn over a new leaf
and leave this town. Go, and God
bless you T.
The crowd opened, and Mace
stumbled away, looking neither to
the right nor left, leaving his res
cuer standing with moving lips in
his place.
Then Texas Joe said, with an odd
break in his voice for which he
could not account: "Say, boys
there amt going to be no funeral to :.
day, you bet Take of that neck
tie, parson, and 1 calculate South
City will have to do without you in
the future. We wrote TO Frisco for

messenger to him to say that she
would kill him tomorrow.
Then Elijah fed with his servant
to Beer-Sheba of Judah, and leaving
his servant he went a days journey
into the wilderness, and sat down
under juniper tree and requested
to die.
But an angel touched him and
said, "Arise and eat" And he saw

And God said to him, "What doest

the Lord how Israel had forsaken
Him and killed his prophets, leaving
only him alive, and God said, $50

Then the Lord passed by. There
