How dear to our hearts is the steady

Who pays in advance at the birth OF
each year,
Who lays down the money and does 1t
it quite gladly,
And casts round the Office a halo OF
cheer.
He never says: "Stop it; l cannot
afford it,
I'm getting more paper than now l
can read"
But always says: "Send it; our peo-

In fact, we all think it a help n
a need"
How welcome his check, when II
reaches our sanctum,
How it makes our pulse throb; how
it makes our heart dance.
We outwardly thank him, we inward
ly bless him,

For the moment John was blinded by
a blaze Of jealousy.
While he was risking his life for
Ruth's sake Faversham would sit CON-
fortably within the protection of his
club and plot ways of winning Ruth.

He found her in a strange state Of
excitement. Evidently the consul and

Il know he prefers sitting around max.

There was the glimmer Of a smile on
Ruth's lips as she answered meekly.
"Then you don't think that-sitting
around-and making love to me-is-
worth while?"
For a moment John stood and stared
at her. The blood rushed into his face.
Then the full meaning Of her light
evasion of his real meaning struck him
like a blow between the eyes.
His heart was filled with love for
her, a love that had grown and increas.

seen her ut DID Tom Gallons door.
He had thought that his devoted serv.

insure her future happiness, would
have published that love to her.
He was minded to tell her now, to
forego all else in order to WOO her for

There was a struggle in Ruth's breast
too. Yet the memory Of her promise
to Faversham stilled her.
In that long inc terrible moment she
realized that John Dorr was all 10 all
to her. Yet she was bonnd to another
who had risked his life on the strength
of her promise to marry him, and she
could not speak what was in her heart.
She tried to look John bravely in the
eyes. and the tears would come in
spite of her.

some brusqueness. II don't intend

John Dorr had steadily grown more

scented his assumption of guardianship
over Ruth, the more SO that he real

1t was settled at last, and they re-

thence down the river.
Sir Donald was as good as his word,

that he was still determined to find
the idol and get the hidden plans.

response. "A man named WilkersOn

He peered around the hut, and, ind
ing all asleep, he set the idol on his
knee and bent over it.
He pulled at the eye which he had
seen Wilkerson draw out. 1t came
with difficulty. Then he held it up and
looked into the dark oriice. There
was nothing there.
He was about to throw the idol down
in disgust when a glimmer of some
thing bright within the head caught
his attention. -
He stopped over again and then froze
into immobility. The spirit of the vile
god was moving within.
The point of light grew into intense

Drake felt his heart burst in his bosom.
Then the snake that had lain so long
hid within the hollow of the image
struck forth and, having struck, slip
ped away.
"God!" whispered Drake, with thick
ened tongue, and jammed the moving
eye back into place.
Then he huddled the idol itself into
it's bundle, laced the throngs with
stiffening fingers.
"God!" he whispered again. Then
he fell across the bundle dead. without
a sound to waken the sleepers.
1t was three hours before the dawn
| that Harry Wilkerson awoke and look
ed about him. All the rest were still
asleep.
He rose softly and peered out of the
window. 1t was very dark outside,
and he could see nothing.
He turned his gaze within and saw
Drake huddled over the packs appar.
emily sound asleep.

He resolved to be rid of the young

Dorr. Then he paused, in deep thought
his ugly brows bent OF the unconscious
object Of his hatred.

Spouse. DO you think ! don't want
to keep it? It's my mascot" \
Yet a couple Of night alarms shook
Wilkerson's resolution, and he agreed
with Drake that they should surren-
der the image.
Here they were confronted with a
new difficulty. None Of their men had
been allowed to know of the presence
of the idol. and Drake asserted that
to inform them now would be dan
gerous.
1t seemed unwise merely to drop it
by the wayside. as it might escape
notice, and no good would be done.
1t must be delivered to the priests
and the condition made that the white
men should be allowed safe conduct
to the city.
How to do this occupied their minds
until the day when they found them
selves really attacked in force and had
to take refuge in a native hut.
Here their position was so perilous
that they had no time for anything but
preparations for defense.

When the hut was completely quiet
except for the breathing of the sleep
ers Drake allowed himself to fall into
a deep reverie.
Now that the quest was practically
ended he had begun to think about his
own part in it and reckon on his re-
ward.
Long association with Wilkerson had
shown him that he had nothing to ex-
pect from him unless by an appeal to
his s%el1shness.
There vas but one person who might
reward him-the woman they both
loved, Jean Darnell.
His mind went back to his first days
