The gentlemen inside assisted Miss
Spencer to descend in safety to the
weed bordered walk, where she stood
shaking her rufled plumage into
shape, and giving directions regarding
her luggage. Then the two gentle
men emerged, Moffat bearing grip
case. handbook, and basket, while
Mcneil supported shawl-strap and a
small trunk. Thus decorated they
meekly followed her lead up the mar

latter opened suddenly, and Mrs.
Hsrndon bounced forth with vocifer-
Gus welcome.
"Why, Phoebe Spencer. and have
you really come! didn't expect you'd
get along before next week. Oh. this
seems too nice to see you again al
most as good as going home to Yer

Dear Aunt Lydia; Of course I'm
glad to be here. But I'm not in the

trip" She glanced around smilingly
upon her perspiring cavaliers. ooh,

Hey, there!" sang out the driver,
growing impatient, II you two gents

Moffat glanced furtively aside at
Mcneil. only to discover that indi.

He promptly dropped his own grip.

he called out spitefully. Il reckon It's
no special honor to ride to town"
The pleasantly smiling young WON

eyes fairly dancing, as the numbering

CHAPTER X.
The Arrival Of Miss Spencer.


Miss Phoebe Spencer, the pioneer
school teacher Of Glencaid, came d.
rect from the far east, her starting
point some little junction place back
in Vermont, although she proudly
named Boston as her home, having
once visited in that metropolis for
three delicious weeks. She was OF an
ardent, impressionable nature. Her
mind was nutured upon eastern con-
ceptions of our common country, her
imagination aglow with weird tales Of
the frontier, and her bright eyes per-
ceived the vivid coloring of romance
in each prosaic object west of the
tawny Missouri All appeared so diff
ferent from that established life to
which she had grown accustomed
the people, the country, the pictur-
esque language,-while her brain SO
teemed with lurid pictures of border
experiences and heroes as to reveal
romantic possibilities everywhere. AS
her eager eyes traced the serrated
peaks of snow-clad mountain range,
Of wonders yet to come. Homesick-
ness was a thing undreamed of; her
active brain responded to each Few
impression.
She sat omfortatbly ensconced In
the back seat Of the old, battered red
coach, surrounded by cushions for pro-
lection from continual bouncing, as
the Jehu in charge urged his FESTIVE
mules down the desolate valley Of tho
Bear Water. Her cheeks were flushed,
her wide-open eyes filed with qnes-
tioning, her pale fluffy hair frolicking
with the breeze. as pretty picture OF
young womanhood as any one could
wish to see. Nor was she unaware OF
this fact. During the final stage of
her journey~she bad found two con
genial souls, sufficiently picturesque
to harmonic with her ideas of wild
western romance -

CHAPTER TX.
4 the Occidental.

Hampton slowly picked his way back
through the darkness down the silent
road, his only guide those dim yellow
lights pickering in the distance.
1t was Saturday night, and the min.
ing town was already alive. The one
long, irregular street was damned with
constantly moving figures, the numer.
Gus saloons ablaze, the pianos sound
ing noisily, the shutting Of feet in the
crowded dance-halls incessant.
Riot reigned unchecked, while the
quiet, sleepy town Of the afternoon
blossomed under the pickering lights
into a saturnalia Of unlicensed pleas,
ure, wherein the wages of sin were
death.
Hampton pushed his way through
the noisy throng with eyes ever watch
full for the faces. His every motion
was that Of a man who had fully de-
cided upon his course. He swung up
the broad wooden steps of the Occi-
dental and entered the barroom which
was crowded by jostling figures, the
ever-moving mass as yet good-natured,
for the night was young. At the lower
end of the long, sloppy bar he stopped
for moment to, nod to the fellow be-
hind.
Anything going on tonight worth
while, JIM" he questioned, quietly.
Rather stiff game, they tell me- just
started in the back ROOM" was the
genial reply. 1.-TWO eastern suckers,
with Red Slavin sitting in"
The gambler passed on, pushing
rather unceremoniously through the
throng of perspiring humanity. The
large front room upstairs was ablaze
with lights, every game in full opera
ton and surrounded by crowds Of de-
voices. He walked directly toward the
rear of the room. A thick, dingy red
curtain hung there; he held back its
heavy folds and stepped within the
smaller apartment beyond.
Three men sat at the single table,
cards in hand, and Hampton invol-
UNFAIRLY whistled softly behind his
teeth at the first glimpse of the money
openly displayed before them. This
was apparently not SO bad for start
er, and his waning interest revived. A
red-bearded giant, sitting so as to face
the doorway, glanced up quickly at his
entrance, his coarse mouth instantly
taking on the semblance of smile.
"Ah, Bob" he exclaimed, with an
evident effort at cordially; been won

1t was some twenty years after the
flight OF Jacob from the wrath OF his
brother Esau that he returned again
to the land of his fathers. He started
with tlocks and herds, numerous serv-
ants and his two wives. Leah and
Rachel. All went we'll until they
neared the Jordan and then came the
report that Esau was coming with a
strong band and this alarmed Jacob
for he knew not whether the brother
still harbored revenge. and what
might be the form it would take.
The fearful night which Jacob endur
ed alone with his conscience and God
makes up the special thought Of the
lesson. There is a common saying "a
guilty conscience needs no accuser"
and it was fully shown in the case of
Jacob. o that sin which ever op-
presses. the sin to which the mind
reverts in the silent hours of the
night. and makes one coward !!
