upon his eye-balls; he felt the strain

and he brought himself to life again

thing moving; something he could
concentrate his attention upon; some
thing to rest the straining eyes!
But there was nothing, absolutely
nothing-just that seemingly endless
stretch of sand, circled by the blazing
sky, the wind sweeping its surface
soundless and hot, as though from the
pits of hell; no stir, no motion. no
movement of anything animate o. in

Hopes slender form in the cabin door,
his eyes never turned again that way.
He had a mans stern work to do out
yonder. and his purpose could not be
swerved, his firmness of hand and
keenness of eye affected, by any
thought of her. His lips compressed.
his fingers gripping the rein, he drove
all resretful memory from his mind.
until every nerve within him throbbed
in unison with his present purpose.
He was right; he knew he was right.
1t was not hate. not even revenge,
which had set him forth, leaving love
behind, but honor-the honor of the
South, and of the frontier, of his All
cestry and his training-honor that
drove him now to meet Hawley face
to face, man to man, to settle the feud
between them for all time. And he
rode smiling, gladly, as to a tryst,
now that he was at last alone, free
in the desert.
The hours passed, the sun rising
higher in the blazing blue of the sky;
the horse, wearied by the constant
! pull of the sand, had long since slowed
down to a walk; the last dim blur of
the cottonwoods along the Fork had
| disappeared; and the rider swayed in
the saddle, the dead lifelessness OF
sky and desert dulling his brain. Yet
he had not forgotten his errand-rous-
ing constantly from lethargy to sweep
his shaded eyes about the rounded
horizon, keenly marking the slightest
shadow across the sands, taking adj
vantage of every drift to give him
wider viewpoint, rising in his stirrups
to scan the leagues of desolation
ahead. Twice he drew his revolver
from out it's sheath, tested it, and

Painting With = snonae.

An artist whose work in water color
is described in the Studio says that
because the sable brushes are too
small, she uses for certain sweeping
effects of light and shade on the
dresses, for example, sponge. This
artist is described as using water col
ors, not within the narrow limitations
usually prescribed, but as an indi-
vidual means of expression. She
sometimes joins three pieces of the
water color board together to make
the pictures she likes to produce in
this medium.

Incomplete MILKING Bad.

Incomplete milking not only roba
the dairyman of the richest portion
Of the milk, the strippings, but it dam,
ages the cow, tending to lessen her
laily production and to shorten the
period of lactation. 1t takes a little
more time to draw the last pint OF
milk from the udder, but the time is
well spent in view of the gain both to
the cow and to it's owner.

IN the ordinary sense OF the
word is not the summum boz
mum of human happiness or
usefulness. Rest and freedom
from pain are comforting to the sick,
solution. Peace in community may
Indicate prosperity, or it may be In
sensibility to duty and Indifference to
fraud and political corruption. A
man freezing to death or under the
influence of some poison needs to be
reused and kept moving. Some COM
munities need nothing so much as to
be walked up and forced to fight for
good government.
Peace in the church may mean
prosperity or decay. 1t is written In
the Acts: Then had the churches
rest" "and walking in the fear OF
the Lord and in the comfort of the
Holy Ghost were multiplied" This
was after a period of persecution and
steadfast contention for the faith.
There have been other times when
the church had rest because 1t was

Righteousness First.
The command to contend earnest
ly for the faith once delivered to the
saints" does not indicate that Chris
tians in world of sin are to expect
or be satisfied with peace until
righteousness is established. So long
as God has a controversy with men,
controversy is the duty of the church
So long as immortality and infidelity
exist, the church has mission to op-
pose them. Often it's greatest need
Is for some one to stand, as did the
prophet of old, and call men to line
up. Choose We this day whom We
will serve" When this call is heard
there are always some to plead for
peace art thou he that troublest

the Israel of God are those who pro-
mote immortality and infidelity, who
belittle the word of God and deny the
doctrines of grace; and very often

as the Creator, or that Christ is God,
or that he died on Calvary as a sac
rifice for sinners and rose from the
dead, or that the Scriptures are In
spired and true, the church has a
controversy with them, and woe be to
it If, through fear of man or love of
ease or for any other cause, 1t shrinks
from its duty.
Danger Of the Church.
The greatest danger Of the church
is. It's insensibility to the beginnings
of unsound doctrine. 1t credits loose
teachers with being better than they
seem. It says of them, as a minister
said Of student who seemed to deny
the atonement, "He does not mean it,

he strobe straight to the blackboard

away to the END of the corral. He
