pitfalls for the unwary. An almost

the Protestant churches, was publish

lionaire have driven happiness away
from everybody who had anything TO
do with me-
Abner evaded meeting his neigh
bars, and took lonely route out of
town. He was soon among the sand
hills. He wanted to think, plan out
resignation for the present, content
ment for the future. It was great
sand district about Albion. Lying
along the lake shore, air currents had
piled up great yellow mountains of the
shifting particles. One wind storm
would build up great hill in night.
A second from contrary direction
would obliterate this nature-building
within an hour. Abner got in among
the dunes, and sat down amid as
lonely and desolate "a scene as could
well be imagined.
The bleak environment chilled him,
but at the same time quieted Alone
and undisturbed, he reviewed all the
past. He bravely faced the future.
After all, It would be rest and peace
after turmoil and strife. The small
er children would be happy ant
comfortable, and the little farm
might bring in enough to help him to
pay eventually the debts that harassed
his sensitive nature like a milestone
about his neck.
A cheerful reaction took place In
Abner's mind, as he reflected that
after all his was not the worst condi-
ton in the world. He had a loyal,
helpful wife and loving, obedient chill.
dren. From a more comfortable atti
tude of mind his thoughts idly drift

in his past life. Then in a whimsical
way a story of the long ago came to
his memory.
His father had been well nigh ruin
ed right among these treacherous sand
hills nearly 40 years since. The event
was the sensation of the hour through
the whole district. James Waldron
had removed his little country bank
to Albion from Sankatuck in the
next county. Over $4,000 in gold
had been carried in locked iron boxes

an old man like me to carry.
Remember the promise: On whom
Gods hand resteth, hath God at his

Abner Waldron tried to smile brave
ly, kissed the dear old patient face
of his helpmeet, and left the house
for his accustomed stroll. 1t had
ceased to seem like home for a week
past. for 1t was scheduled TO follow
the rest of his possessions and go to-

a search all over the country. II
brought no results. With difhculty the
banker met the great loss. II was
generally decided that robbers had
driven the treasure away, stage and
all, and no trace Of the outfit was
ever found.
The sky had darkened while Abner
sat dreaming. A cyclonic gust nearly
swept him off his feet as he got up
to make a start for home. A binding
rain of sand cut his face. Abner
walked briskly forward, but several
times in his up and down hill
progress he went headlong as the
sand slides took him off his footing.
This is getting serious!" he er
claimed, as he slid nearly the length
OF hill, to land in a gully between
two towering mountains OF sand. He
tried to reascend. 1t was like breast
ing an avalanche. The cut was filling
up fast. At one time the sand was
up to his knees.
Why i shall be engulfed! II Is
like quicksand!" he reflected in vivid
alarm.
His situation was truly critical. He
knew that unless he got out Of what
was a natural funnel for the tornado
air currents, he was lost. He strug-
gled on, came to a turn in the gully,
and dimly made out slanting mass or
gnarled tree roots. Abner ran to it,

to him that he had come upon one of
the many sand submerged houses

before. Once he had stepped into a

Abner was smoker. He therefore
carried matches, and feeling in his
