Positively no." replied Mary, and
possibly she thought she meant it.
Then you're through with me for
good and all?" he asked in surprise
We'll, don't blame you God. What
an awful memory of all those years

Mary, weakening. I'm all packed up

out her coat invitingly.
"Oh, Dan," she murmured as she
obediently let him put 1t on. Before
she had decided one Way or the other
he had her bag and her umbrella and
he had her by the arm and in an
other flash she was being helped into
a motor car that had been waiting
outside.
Jake cranked the car, and as he
climbed up on the seat he chuckled
to himself:

The little woman quietly eating
crackers and milk looked up as she
heard the old, familiar formula.
"Why, Jake!" she exclaimed in
quick surprise. The westerner jumped
up hastily and looked to see where
the voice came from. There was only
one voice as sweet and gentle as that;
1t was the voice Of woman who had
been the best friend he had ever had.
"Why, Mrs. Slade!" he exclaimed
gladly, as he recognized her in spite
of the fact that her hair had grown
grayer and that she was a much
trimmer figure than she had been
when he had last seen her.

ESCAPES GRATED WINDOWS
Says a Seven Foot Chart
Attracts Much Attention
in Lone Star State.
ESCAPES GRATED WINDOWS

Sulphur Springs, Texas, March 80.
We have had several great rains here
and much bottom land is flooded.
Farmers are in the midst of planting
and now much farm lana is altogether
too wet. Gress is green and many
wild fiowers are In bloom, also much
fruit.
Since writing my st letter l have
covered much territory aud have had
some experiences. However, | have
not been arrested for murder nor have

as of yore. have had great crowds
generally and where the people have
any moaey at all, [ manage to get
little of it. The new book, "Thc
Way of Cain" goes very well and
when 1 speak on the questions hand
led therein, L never fail to create an
interest.
AT GreenviIIe gave lecture on
"Causes of Infidelity and Is the
Negro Our Brother in Adam" and at
the close challenged any man in
the state of Texas to overthrow my
position. Two ministers accepted the
CD alIenge and the debate was held in
the courthouse at GreenvilIe. We had
crowded house and they we're wholly
unab to - - 5efore the unanswer-
asle u. y ..eaenEs presented. 1t was a
conplete victory for the great truth so
plainly brought out in my book "The
Way of Cain"
Again they challenged me to meet
them on the question: "Does the
Sinner Live Forever in He'll Fire?"
[ accepted and the following night the
courthouse was crowded to the limit.
[ sent special invitation to every
minister in the city and also invited
every Bible scholar TO be present.
Quite a pumber of ministers came
| from other parts of the state. The in
terest was intense and again a COM
plete victory was scored in favor of the
Bible truth, When L quoted text
after text which proved the falsity OF
my opponents position, cheer after

spoke again on the following day in
the courthouse and left on the neon
train, leaving many friends in Green
