Arthur faithfully followed direc-

productive Of much success, finally In
his despair he resorted to brute

that the burro would keep It there for
a few rods anyway, he would set him

The process oft repeated became mo-
notonous after awhile. Arthur was
slow thinking man, deliberate In ac-
ton; he stood It as long as he possibly
could. Kirkby. who rode one horse
and led two others, and therefore was
exempt from burro driving. observed
him with great interest. He and Brad
shaw had strayed way behind the rest
of the party.

and piety, strained to the breaking

Nobody scanned Enid Maitland's

head sunk almost to the level OF his

able to the Bible; there are number
less books and tracts on ethics. on the
conduct Of life. on holy living and holy
dying. But the Bible Is the light from
which all these are lighted, and they
shine only In proportion as they re-
feet its teaching and spirit. Why
should people prefer the trickIing

trail stream; or the twinkle Of the

counted for. the old book brings to the

Of life and light helping every man
