Our minds are again to be centered
on the events following the captivity
of the Jews of Jerusalem in Babylon
and their attempts to rebuild the city
on the return of part of them after
seventy years absence. We grant
that it is pretty hard work for us all
to keep the history of the Jews
straight in mind. The books of the Old
Testament are not put in the order
which makes it easy to understand the
sequence of events. 1t has been one
of the aims of these notes in the past
few months to help bible students to
gain at least some idea of the history
of the Jews in the years five and six
hundred years before Christ was born.
AS we gather up matters, the les
son of October 18th, found in Ezra
and 2, told as to the action of Cyrus,
king of Persia, in Offering to help the
captive Jews to return to Jerusalem,
f they desired, there to rebuild the
city and again worship God after the
manner of their ancestors. We there
learned that the golden vessels taken
from the temple were given to the re-
turning Jews. In the lesson of Oc-
tober 22d we were told of the laying
of the foundations of the temple when
there was crying and rejoicing at the
same time We also learned that
when it came to rebuilding the walls
of the city there came trouble and the
enemies OF these Jews obtained an
order that all work must cease. Thus
there was great encouragement, and
even backsliding into sin. There was
need for new arousing of enthusi-
asm.
In the lesson of last Sunday we saw

The scene before his eyes was beau
ttful. with that stupendous beauty that
only the arctic can attain. The har-
Dor and beyond It, far out to sea-
clear to the horizon, was filed with
great plunging, churning masses of
ice, all drenched In color by the lew
banging arctic sun-violet, rose, pure
Kuiden-yellow and emerald-green, and
. white whose incandescence fairly
stabbed the eye And as those
seat moving masses ground together,
they flung. high into the air, broad

OF the fioe. which they had consid-
Sred stable as the land itself, there
was no longer any sign. There was
nothing there, nothing at all to greet
their eyes, to seaward. but the savage
beauty of the ice

He did not risk trying to answer

to keeping the real significance of the
yachts disappearance from showing
in his face.
She had turned to him quite casual

But If our people beat them on,

Apparently EotT said Cayley.
They may have all been killed before
they could get back to shore. or some
Of them may have been captured. No,
I really don't think you need worry

She did as he asked without further
demur, and he went away. When she
was left alone, the girl added fresh
sticks to the fire, and then, in default
of any more active occupation, took
up the red-bound book which lay be
side her and began once more to pc

tall man"
His father abandoned the subject
abruptly. and for while contrived te
talk of other things; OF the details Oh
the fight and how different members
of the crew had borne themselves.
But his mind was filed with a new
terror, and as soon as he could feel
that his son was in condition to be
Left alone, he left him, with broken
word of excuse He must either set
this new terror at rest, or know the
worst at once. There had been no
one, either among the survivors or the
slain of the Walrus party, who IN any
way resembled the monster Tom had
described.
An hour later he went back to the
bridge to talk again with Captain
Warner. He thought that they had
sounded the depth of despair that
former time when they had talked to-
gether there, but in this last hour he
had sounded new abyss beneath It
all. He knew now why the yacht had
been SO easily taken He knew all the
details Of the devilish plan which had
80 nearly succeeded. More than that,
he knew the story of the man Roscoe
from the time when Captain Planck
had taken him aboard the Wairus,
down to the hour last night when he
had sprung into his boat again and
pulled shoreward. Captain Planck
was dying, and old Mr. Fanshaw's
questions had enabled him to enjoy
the luxury OF full confession.
SO they knew now, those two men
who stood there on the bridge, white
Tipped. talking over the horror Of the
thing-they knew that Jeanne was not
alone upon that terrible frozen shore.
The man Roscoe was there, too.
A sound on the deck below attracted
Mr.. Fanshaw's attention Tom, with
the aid Of heavy cane, was limping
precariously along the deck toward
the bridge ladder, and. to their amaze
ment, when he looked up at them,
they saw that somehow, his face had
cleared. There was a grave look of
peace upon IT.
I've thought of something" he
said, after he had climbed up beside
.hem-"Tve thought OF something that
makes It seem possible to go on liv-
ng, and even hoping"
The two older men exchanged a
wifi glance. He was not to know
bout Roscoe. II he had found some !

usory, he should be allowed to Keep |

'It's-it's Cayley. He's there with

way a little from Captain Warner
