the suggestion you offer with slight amendment.
You will remain here-you are too valuable to be
the attempt to pass through the enemy's lines
The words banished for the first time the good
humored smile from the others face All at it
had become grave and set. But, Capn, he pro-
tested no other man but me make it. It's Ger
tain death to send anyone else,-they haven't had
the bringing up; they don't know the lay of the land
Ransome remained unmoved at this speech. Il
prefer to have another man make the attempt he
replied cily. If he fails,-and shall know it by
hearing the shots;-you will then have your chance"
The tone in which he spoke convinced the scout
that this decision was unalterable. Therefore he
saluted, and made his way to the men.
Browning, amazed at Ransomes action and
Captains side 1t seemed impossible to believe
that Ransome would coldly send man to certain
death for no purpose at all Captain" he whs-
pered whom you going to send!
Slowly Ransome turned until he faced him, slowly
into Brownng's own. You'll he said.
In instant, in the twinkling of an eye, he saw
what he had been blind to- The knowledge made
his brain reel. Presently, however, he regained his
self control White faced and stern, he leaned for
ward:
marry?" he whispered.
A sudden wave Of passion swept over Browning.
"And you mean to murder mel he Kissed through
his clenched teeth by God! I" he took step
toward Ransome and raised his hand threatenngly.
The other did not finch He still looked him
codly in the eyes, while his face remained calm and
impassve. Lieutenant Browning, you have heard
the orders of your superior oicer he said sharply
do you dare to disobey them?"
For an instant there no answer. Then gradu-
ally Ransomes dominant strength together with the
iron discipline of years, gained the ascendency.
Slowly the hand that had been raised strike moved
to the vizor of the Leutenants cap in salute;
then lifelessly it fell to his side.
FOR half an hour Browning crept through the
thorny and tortuous gully which the little stream
had carved during the high waters of winter. The
church that had formed the camp lay fully half
shelter coming and nearer. He stopped
for instants rest After ALL it might be possible
that the scout had overestimated the danger after
all there might be still chance for life and-Alce.

His rejoicing however, was brought to a sudden
close: All at once from the thick gloom through
which he had just crept sound reached his ears
the sharp swapping of twg. Some one was follow
ing him! In the faint belief that perhaps his pres
ence might not be discovered. he stopped and
that this subterfuge would succeed. 1t seemed inn
possible that anyone could pass without hearing his
choking breath, without hearing the loud beatings
Slowly and surely the sounds of the pursuer came
steadily onward. At last he was almost upon him.
If he would only pass on without seeing him! In
the keenness of his suspense Browning closed his
eyes. Oddly enough, he lay there waiting for
death, the picture of Alice rose clear before him.
1t this sudden and distinct vision that made
his fate trif1e easier to bear.
Something of his tension passed from him. 1t
then he realized that the footsteps of his pursuer
had ceased; that the man was bending over him.
With effort that took all his courage he opened
his eyes, and saw-the face of Captain Ransome.
For an instant his surprise mastered him. Then
slowly he rose to his feet.
"You!' he whispered.
The other nodded. Il am not" he answered him
in the same low Tone "such villain you may
think. l have merely left it to God to decide be-
tween u.s. 1t is impossible to believe that both can
make way through the enemy's lines. One of
must fall and for the other, life and Alice. Each
of us has equal chance; the rest is with God"
For an instant Browning gazed at him in amaze
ment Then he reached out and grasped the others
hand. 1t was almost at that very instant that the
crucial moment came. Suddenly from out the dark
that surrounded them there leaped brown
skinned savage his knife raised high in the air. 1t
SO happened that Browning was the closer to him.
and upon him he leveed his attack. In two leaps he
had reached his side An instant he held above him
his cleaning knife. Then with all his strength he
drove it home-and Captain Ransome
more; for the knife descended he had flung
himself between the two and had taken the thrust
in his own breast, and even he did so had driven
his dagger straight to the heart of the savage
Without sound they fell almost
Still dazed by the lightning like rapidity With,
which the whole scene had been enacted, Browning
bent over the BODY of the man who had saved him
"Ransome!" he cried. "Ransome!'
The other stirred and opened his eyes. "AliceiI
he breathed. And SO he passed away.
moment longer Browning bent the dead
form. Then with a broken sob he rose and started
more on his way through the dark night toward
life and liberty.

wins-and she surrendered. Then she told me
everything She told that she loved me-; but
that our love hopeless because of her promise to
how great trial of strength it was, she meant to
keep that promise. He will never know the truth.
Then she kissed once and sent me from her.
That is why fear death 1t was alive, might
in way make her hard life easier. If she
needed help, might give it to her You see, If |
die, leave her all alone"
Ransome suddenly turned and faced him. He
had subdued his emotions. His face
masklike, impasslve ever, the glance of his
light cold, blue eyes was unwavering, and when he
spoke his voice was still hard and passionless And
BESIDES" he looked steadily into Brownng's eyes,
you still hope that her love for you will be strong
that she will not find the courage to marry the other
man, but instead will come to your"
Browning face went white; but he did not shift
his gaze from the other. YES" he replied bowling
gravely, Il still hope that
Il thought sol"
The words came with sharp click as of steel as
he rose quickly his feet 1t then for the first
time that Browning became aware of his change of
manner. A look of wonder flashed his face
he also rose. For breathless instant the two men
stood facing each other Ransome with deadly look
in his cold eyes, Browning with perpexed stare.
At that instant there stir from the other
end of the room One of the scouts had returned,
bringing the tidings of their fate. His words
would tell them whether it to be life or death.
The scout passed by the enlisted men without
giving them so much as glance, and made his way
directly to where Captain Ransome was standing.
There he saluted.
1t was Ransome who spoke first "Well?" he
asked in sharp, hard voice.
We're in tight box, Cap'n, and that's fact.
The scout uttered the words lightly enough broad
grin widening his mouth. Here was man evidently
who faced all things, DEATH tolerantly. These

Il don't go far that, returned the man, for

"A heart, SO is he" said EK
great Teacher, whose wisdom EE

we are just beginning to under 80
stand. The words contain vNYA
great truth,-a truth which,
being great truth, applies to
every aspect of life, Spiritual,
mental, physical. "As man
thnketh in his heart, in his
deeper self so will he order
his moral life, will he be
guided in the various mental
acts which make up SO large
part of our daily existence, and
so will he digest. al
A wise man has said, "Circu-
tatiOn follows attention. That
is whenever there is need for the activity of any
function the organ which performs that function
receives increased flow of blood For instance,
a man has taken long walk, and arrives home
tired and ravenously hungry. AS he enters the
house he catches the aroma of cooking food.
What happens? Why, to use vernacular phrase,
his mouth waters" The attention is directed
to the need of eating; and the organs engaged in
eating and digestion at once begin to get greatly
1t out of the blood that these digestive organs
manufacture" their various fluids by which each
organ accomPlshes its special part in the work of
digestion. So, when increased quantity of
blood is poured into them each organ begins at
The savary glands are IN the mouth,-under
the tongue mostly. And when greatly increased
quantity of blood is sent to them, they at once
elaborate and pour out into the mouth portion
the odor of cooking food waters at the mouth" !"
Thus the mind governs the body.
Now, the action of the glands of the mouth which
produce saliva is exactly like the action of the
glands elsewhere in the body which produce gastric
juice pancreatic juice, bile, and other fluids, through
the associated action of which the process of dges
ton is carried on. When the hungry man smells
the aroma of food, there is rush Of blood to all
