BIBLICAL TALE OF POWER.
"JezebeI," by Miss Lafayette Nc
Laws, Has Won Favor.

Miss Lafayette McLaw's when
the Land Was Young" instantly
sprang into popular favor, and for
first book was a pronounced sue
cess. The promise in her first book
has been more than realized in "Jez-
ebel," a work of singular power and
insight. 1t is a Biblical tale Of the
days when Omri and Ahab were
kings OF Israel and Elijah was a
prophet of Jehovah. Ahab, the Is
raerite, takes, to wife Jezebel. the
worshiper of Baal. When Ahab
comes to the throne and Jezebel sets
up the worship of Baal, the prophets
and believers of Israel are incensed
against the queen, and Jezebel be-
gins fierce persecution of her enc.
mics. This contest is the chief mo-
tive OF the story.
Miss McLa VS. has endeavored to
throw new light upon the character
of JeZebel, and, while she does not
depart from the Biblical account, she
surely presents this strong willed,
beautiful queen in somewhat novel
and striking manner. We get
glimpses of Jezebel the woman as
we'll as Jezebel the queen, and 1t is
as woman with warm passions and
jealous instincts that Jezebel is
most and best portrayed.
The book is replete with dramatic
situations, the action is rapid and
stirring, and the denoument is orig
inal and startling. Altogether it Is
one Of the books of the day and
distinct contribution to the novel
literature of Biblical days.

On the Safe Side.

An old woman who persisted in bow.
ing during church service whenever
the name of Satan was mentioned was
feprimanded by the minister for so
unseemly habit. The reproof had,
however, no effect. and the minister
asked her finally, in evaporation, why
she thought it necessary to bow.
"Well," she replied. "civility costs
nothing, and you never know what will
happen"

CHAPTER XII.
The Dog Courier.

Inc log courier.
Paul Miller drew his rifle to his
shoulder and let drive two or three
shots in quick succession, sending
their late captors flying helter SHELTER
to the rear of the cavern. Whether
any of them were wounded by his
bullets or not he did not stop to
learn. He then seized the rifles,
blankets and caps and the two men
fastened away from the cavern, TAX
ing the precaution to secure not only
the rifles, but three pistols and all the
belts of cartridges they could find
cious pockets with dried moose meat
until they stuck out like stuffed tur-
keys.
They broke two of the rifles because
they could not carry them and
strapped the others on their backs.
Long they travelled in a western di-
rection, guided by the stars. They
had given up all hope of finding their
Metlakahlan friends, who no doubt
supposing them lost, had returned to
their home on the island. After wan
dering three or four hours into the
forest and being completely ex-
hausted, the two fugitives rolled
themselves in their blankets and
slept. They dared not build a fire,
for it might attract the attention of
their pursuers.
When day dawned they made a
breakfast on some of the dried moose
they had brought with them and pre-
discovered that they were gradually
ascending a mountain side. On all
sides of them were forests of scraggy
spruce, the trees seldom being over
five or six inches in diameter, ana
ferns and other forms of plant life
were occasionally noted.
At last they came to a great cleft
between gigantic snowrobed noun
tains.
The first night after they began
their ascent they camped on the
mountain side near spring and
spread their blankets under the lee of
| a large bowlder.

their suilen manner as an admission
