"But what makes you think they are

"They had their eyes on me to see

Langford gave long, low whistle
of comprehension. That would ex-
plain the unexpected waving of exam

Yes. a big one and quick one, too,
maybe. The crowd made way for him
unconsciously. No one jostled him.
He was a marked man from that day.
His lawyer, Small, leaned back in his
chair. radiating waves of self-satisfac-
ton as though he had just gained a
disputed point. 1t was manner he
affected when not on the floor in a
frenzy of words and muscular action.

Dragged insultingly.
The mans face went white with
wrath.
Damn you!" he cried. His hand
dropped to his belt.
The two glared at each like fighting
cocks. Men crowded around, sudden

Comm Dick didn't mean to blab
so much" Jim answered, contritely.
They moved away. Sanderson fol-
lowed them up.
"Dick Gordon" he said with cool
deliberateness, you're too damned
anxious to stick your nose into other
peoples affairs. Learn your lesson,
will you? My favorite stunt is to
teach mCddlers how to mind their own
business-this way"
1t was not a fair blow. Gordon
doubled up with the force of the punch
in his stomach. In a moment all was
confusion. Men drew their pistols. 1t
looked as if there was to be free-for-
all fight
Langford sprang to his friends aid,
using his fists with plentiful freedom
in his haste to get to him.
Never mind me-" whispered Cor
don. He was leaning heavily on Jim's
shoulder. His face was pale, but he
smiled reassuringly. There was some
thing very sweet about his mouth
when he smiled. Never mind me"
he repeated. Get the girls out of
this-quick, Paul.
Mary and Louise had sought refuge
behind the big table.
Quick, the back door," cried Lang
ford, leading the way; and as the
three passed out, he closed the door
behind them, saying, "You are all
right now. Run to the hotel. l must
see how Dick is coming on"
do you think he is badly hurt?'
asked Louise. Cant we help?"
Il think you had best get out of this
as quickly as you can. l don't believe
he is knocked out, by any means, but
I want to be on hand for any future
events which may be called. Just fly
now, both of you"
The unfair blow in the stomach had
given the sympathy of most of the
bystanders, for the time being at least,
to Gordon. Men forgot, momentarily,
their grudge against him. Understand
ing from the black looks that he was
not. in touch with the crowd, Sander
son laughed-a short snort of con-
tempt-and slipped out of the door.
Unable to resist the impulse, Jim
bounded out after his enemy.
When Paul FASTENED around to the
front of the building, the crowd was
nearly all in the street. The tension
was relaxed. A dazed expression pre-
vailed-brought to life by the sudden
ness with which the affair had devel-
oped to such interesting proportions
and the quickness with which it had
fiattened out to nothing. For Sander
son had disappeared, completely,
mysteriously, and in all the level land
scape, there was no trace of him nor
sign.
See a balloon, JIM" asked Lang
ford, slapping him on the shoulder
with the glimmer of smile. well,

Sunday School Lessons for the World.
A power greater than that of kings
seems to have been welded by the
little group of thoughtful men who
gathered at the Fenway residence of
w. NJ Hartshorn to select the les
sons for the Sunday schools Of the
world, says the Boston Herald. Every
year they gather to make this choice,
and when a decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to the
printers and by them literally scat
tered over the planet. The word thus
goes forth not in one but in scores
of languages. Europe and Africa, east
and west, north and south, get these
helps to religious study in the vernac-
ular. There is supply for Hawaii,
Japan and the islands of the sea. For
India alone 40 dialects have to be pro
vided for. Some 50O000,000 Sunday
school leaflets are thus distributed
every year.

A change is coming over the orthodox
view of prayer under the influence of scien-
tifc thought. The mood of prayer in all
churches becomes less that of petition and
more than of gratitude and submission.
PRAYER becomes more and more subjective,
really addressed to mans own higher nature,
and less directed to the Deity, who is for
mally addressed. With an increasing num-
Der of persons prayer ceases to have mean
ing, as the thought of God broadens and the
idea of law in all things takes hold of the
mind.
PRAYER is in the last analysis a want.
