afraid I shall be weak enough and
foolish enough to go back and-stay."
There was stir in the forward
part of the car. A man, hitherto sit
ting quietly by the side of an alert
wiry little fellow who sat next the
aisle, had attempted to bolt the car
by springing over the empty seat in
front of him and making dash for
the door. 1t was daring, but in vain.
His companion, as agile as he, had
seized him and forced him again into
his place before the rest of the pas
sengers fully understood that the at
tempt had really been made.
"Is he crazy? Are they taking him
to Yankton?" asked Louise, the pretty
color all gone from her face. did he
think to jump off the train?"
That's John Yellow Wolf, a young
half-breed. He's wanted up in the
Hills for cattle-rustling-United States
court case. That's Johnson with him,
deputy United States marshal"
Poor fellow" said Louise, pityingly.
Don't waste your sympathy on such
as he. They are degenerates-many
of these half-breeds. They will swear
to anything. They inherit all the
evils of the two races. Good never
mixes. Yellow Wolf would swear him
self into everlasting torment for pint
of whiskey. You see my cause OF
complaint? But never think, Miss
Dale, that these poor chaps of half
breeds, who are hardly responsible
are the only ones who are willing tC
swear to damnable lies" There was

He was still smarting from his
many set-backs. He had worked hard
and had accomplished nothing. At
the last term of court, though many
cases were tried, he had not secured
one conviction.
I'VE shall see," said Louise, softly.
Her look, straight into his eyes, was a
CLINT of sunshine in dark places. Then
she laughed.

The SEASON OF JOY.

Aglin has this old world Of ours
following through the countless
ages his unerring and mendiue
march about the sun come to the
place in his continuous journey
where mankind has located the
initial point for counting the
swiftly passing yeas, which has
been made happy holiday from
time immemorial; and through
nearly two thousand years has
been given a particular, peculiar
AMI sacred significance through
the birth at this season of one Of
the most remarkable characters in
az history from whatever point Of
view considere - he Man of Sor-
rows, whose bleeding heart has
been an inspiration to succeeding
generations, and whose blood germ
mated the seed and gave life To the
tree of civil aud religious liberty
whose spreading branches are reach
ing forth to cover aud protect all
-rkind.
IN the early ages of the world
n celebrated this season because
.Zae the turning point of the sea-
rs. The seed time and the har.
a. Ct the old year had passed
oeth the fructifying rays of the
sun. and they had given men all
their benefits, in enjoyment Of
which they were passing the mel
ancholy days OF the winter; but the
sun, passing far to the south, hat
left the world cold and desolate
However, at this season, the orl
o. day, pausing apparently a few
days in his journey, turned hi
norlhward way, giving promise 0
another seed time and another har
vest in the coming year. This q
itself was sufficient to make th
season one of rejoicing and happi
ness; and the good cheer felt by al
in the promise given manifested it
self naturally in expression 0
words Of good will for all, viii

takens OF remembrance and affec
ton. SO the Christmas season ha
been one of the great festivals O
mankind, antedating The Christian
Era by many thousand years-go
ing back doubtless to those remote
ages when man began first to note
the flight of time, the changing sea
sons, and their influence upon his
we'll being and welfare.
The announcement made to the
wondering shepherds on the Plair
II Shinar, nearly two THOUSAND
years ago, OF the advent at thai
ime, of the long promised Messiah.
md the journey OF the Wise Mel
rom the East in search Of tht
wonderful babe, gave to the season
new significance and a new
meaning. To the startled shep-
nerds the angelic hosts proclaimed
IN era Of peace and good will upon
arth. And the influence Of the
Being they heralded has wrought
To elevate mankind and make men
md women better and purer. 1t is
true that man has failed TO reach
perfection as yet, hut The tendency
has been upward and onward ever,
through the influence and teachings
OF the man whose cradle was marked
by the Star of Bethlehem. Still
the world sees wars; bat wars OF
injustice, rapine and plumber have
become unknown. Men sill bear
one heart III the market place and
another in the sanctuary, but, all
the same, there has grown and Is
growing y higher standard in bust
ness affairs among men. The
moral obligation as we'll as legal
one is becoming recognized more
and more as the race progresses.
| The very essence Of The sublime
teachings of the Divine Essenian
is that there Is a moral obligation
in all the affairs of life, and that
man will not reach the perfection
possible here until me has developed
in character to the point where re.
cognilion and application of the
moral obligation will be the uni
yersal rule. When there comes tc
