Peter Burt sternly. Show me your

no man has ever entered it without

Growing threats, the men retired.
In a minute they returned, armed
with a log. Used as a battering ram,
it was hurled against the heavy oak

resisted, but with crash the jamb
gave way and the door few open.

the patriarch's left arm flew out, and
the corded fingers gripped the reck-

blow with the butt end Of revolver.
With a catlike movement, Peter Burt
wrenched his opponents forearm
With a cry of pain the man dropped
the weapon to the floor. Before he

him a hard blow on the face. and
gripped him by the neck as he reeled
against the wall.
Holding the two men at arms

Peter Burt's voice broke, and
shudder swept over him; but he con-
trolled himself. and continued:
my boy, will you take your grand
fathers advice?"
81 will, grandfather Will" re-
piled John firmly.
1T is written in Gods word; If
thou faint in the day of adversely,
thy strength is small; for just man
falleth seven times and riseth up
again." said Peter Burt, laying his
hand on Johns shoulder. God has
willed that you shall be His instru-
ment in great undertakings, and it is
decreed that the events of to-day
shall not be a stumbling to your
feet. You are now to go out into the

The old man jumped to his feet
"Olcers are comingi" he said in a
low voice. 81 will meet them. Re-
main here till l return. Hold that
horse by the nose lest he whinny."
AS John sprang to the horses head.
the old man vanished in the dark
ness.
Peter Burt entered the rear door OF
his house and was in his room when
the tramp OF steps was heard, fol-
lowed by loud knocking. The old man
waited awhile, as IL dressing. He
then lighted lamp and stood in the
hallway. The pounding had been re-
peated at intervals. and gruff voices
were heard in impatient conversation
who's tbere?" demanded the old
man.

cHAPTER NINE-continued.


Two warm arms were clasped
around his neck, a face wet with tears
nestled for a moment on his shout
der. and she kissed him twice, with
the live kisses that come from the
heart of a woman whose affection has
passed the mysterious border that sep
arates friendship from love.
Goodbye, John; God bless you and
guard you
Goodbye, Jessie; good-bye.
He watched her as she faded away
from him and disappeared beyond the
vines which shaded the veranda-
Under the arched naples where he
had walked with Jessie so many
times. and down the sandy road
where they had loitered in summer
days now gene forever, John Burt
urged the horse along. 1t was two
miles to Peter Burt's. and he soon
reached the gloomy old house. A fig-
ure stood by the gate. John rode for
ward and recognized his grandfather.
"You did well to come home, my
boy" said the old man, whose deep,
Something has happened, and my
soul has been calling you since dusk.
Ride to the graveyard and I'll follow
you 1t isn't safe to talk here"
In the far corner of the old grave
yard John Burt hitched his horse and
turned to meet his grandfather. The
old man seated himself on the grave
of the pioneer Burt who, two hundred
years before, had dared the dangers
of the wilderness.
Now we can talk" he said. 'Tell
me what has happened"
Quickly John Burt related the Incl
dents of the tragedy.
The old man made no sign during
the recital, and was silent for min
.utes after John had ended.
He deserved TO die, and it was
written that he should perish by vio-
lence; but his blood is not on your
head" began the old man calmly.

The child of today thinks more,

Fifty years ago children were un-
known in society life. A hundred years
ago they We're unknown in any grown

Naturally all children are today more
Intelligent than then, but 1t is paid for
by Il decrease In physique.
The modern mother intcrferes spas
medically with the conduct of the
nursery or the school room, and there
is no one in authority to say nay to
what may be harmful whlms and
fancies.
The reason children show decrease
in physique today is due In great
measure to unwholesome food, late
hours, prolonged excitement, and,
above all. to fashionable invalid talk.
