firing their guns at the main trunk of

Mexican had caught one of his legs
they all united their strength and the
mangled youth was drawn from the
embrace of the terrible plant.

came into Moses presence with BEAM
ing faces, and reading their report
: there, he exclaimed, before they had
time to speak

Workmen are putting the finishing

completed to-day, even to the cloths

Aaron, the priest and the garments for
his sons, to minister in the Tab

IT'S WE'LL" responded Moses, fer
wildly. "Knowest thou what day to-
morrow will be-"
The two men shook their heads by
way of answer, and Moses added:
Tomorrow will be the beginning
OF the second year as appointed by
the Lord when he spoke to US in Egypt
and gave US the Passover. How fitting
that upon that day the Tabernacle
should be set up in our midst. The
Lord reward thee, Bezaleel, and thou,
Aholiab, for thy faithfulness."
The two men bowed low in grateful
recognition of the commentator OF
their leader, and then Bezaleel, con-
scicus of the ready spirit Of the people
In the work, said:

people which has wrought the work

Aided by his friend Arno, Diego had
prospered in exile and he returned to

Senator Montemoran had anticipat-

he stood at the great front gate of the
hacienda to welcome him. Arno was
delighted with the warm reception ex-
tended by the fine looking old man.
In another matter he was disappoint-
ed, for he soon learned that his friend
was away from home. He had been
summoned in an affair of law as far
away as Chihuahua.
