Of the roadway, he went his way in the
end with curiosity unsated: Fate had
reserved that card for a higher pur.
pose.
Undisturbed, it lay where it had
fallen, face upward, not a dozen feet
from the front door Of the Mountain
house, until another day dawned on
Mesquite.
Then, in the clear light of that dawn,
four o strangers struggled into
town-two weary and haggard men.

One Of these last was dressed in
suit Of mans clothing, much the worse
for wear.
At sight Of the Mountain house the
party betrayed slight symptoms Of Q
more cheerful spirit: rejoicing in. ito
promise Of food and drinks and beds
withal wherein to sleep, the four
quickened their steps.
But Of q sudden one Of the women

To find them not only alive but

Roses jealousy of her sisters new
found friendliness with Alan had
become acutely evident. The least
courtesy which circumstances now

Judith or seem q boor, vas enough
to cloud the c~ountenance Of Alan's
betrothed.
Nor, indeed. was Rose altogether
destitute of plausible excuse for this
feeling. It was undeniable that be-
tween Alan and Judith a bond of SYM
pathy had grown out Of the trials and
hardships they had Of late suffered
In common. 1t was undeniable-but
even in his most private thoughts
Alan denied it hercely. Judith, on
the other hand, not only acknowledged
It freely to herself, but secretly de-
rived q strangely sweet and poignant
pleasure from the knowledge that she
loved so madly and hopelessly.
That her love was hopeless she
knew but too well. Even though Alan
might not be altogether Indifferent to
her, after all that had passed between
them. his loyalty to Rose was un.
shakable. And not for worlds would
Roses rival have had 1t otherwise.
She could not have loved him az she
did had he not been so unmovably
true. Az It was. since she could not
hope her love might be returned, she
was content to love and to promise
herself that, II opportunity ever Of
fered, she would not prove unready to
sacrifice herself for her love.

ed mouctainside the motorcycle swept
like a hunted hare, and without the
least warning came upon Barcus and
Judith, dismounted, Barcus bending
over his cycle and tinkering with ito
motor.
For one horripilating instant COLI.
sion seemed unavoidable. Barcus and
Judith and the motorcycle occupied
most of the width Of the road; there
vas little room between them and tho
declivity, less between them and the
forest To try to pass them on the
latter side would be only to dash his
brains out against the trees; while to
make the attempt on the outside would
be to risk leaving the road altogether
and dashing OF into space
And it was impossible to stop the
cycle-so brief was all his warning.
In desperation Alan chose the outside
Of the road: and for the space of a
single heartbeat thought that he might
possibly make 1t, but with the next
realized that he would not-seeing the
front wheel swing of over the lip Of
the slope.
At this he acted sharply and upon
sheer instinct. AS the cycle left the
road altogether he risked a broken
knee by releasing his grasp of the
handlebars and Strengthening out his
leg and driving it down forcib!y
against the roadbed. The effect of this
was to lift him bodily from the sad
die: the machine shot from beneath
him like some strange projectile
hurled from the bore of 4 great gun;
and Rose crashed against him in the
same fraction of a second.

But Tom Barcus hadn't failed to
profit by the warning implicit in Alan's
accident.
Alan, he told himself shrewdly,
would never have run his cycle at SO
foolhardy a pace without good rea'
son; and under the circumstances good
reason was synonymous solely with
pursuit. II
He was therefore on the alert, quick
to see the racing automobile when It
came hurting round the bend, and in
the very nick of time grasped Judith's
arm and swung her bodily with him
back out of harms way, amid the
trees that bordered the inside of the
road.
OF necessity his motorcycle suffered.
Abandoned in the middle of the road,
It was struck by the buffers of the
motor car and flung aside az II 1t had
been nothing more ponderable than q
truss of straw-landing halfway down
the embankment, a hopeless tangle Of
shattered tubing and twisted wire.
At first blush the circumstance
seemed surprising. that the car did
not stop. But then Barcus reminded
himself that Marrophat and Jimmy
could not possibly have witnessed the
accident involving Alan and Rose, who,
together with the wreck Of their ma
chine, remained well-cloaked by the
underbrush at the bottom Of the can.

Rock Island is a branch OF the moth

Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
This branch was organized in 1896
and the few persons then interested
erected church edifce on Twenty
third street in which the congrega-
ton worshipped for ~ years. This
was the first Christian Science church
built in the state Of Illinois. In No
vemher. 1915. the old building was
vacated and the beautiful new church
at the corner Of Twenty-second street
and Seventh avenue. was occupied for
the first time on Nov. IA.
This move was necessitated by the
steady growth of the congregation, the
Old building being inadequate to hold
the increasing numbers attending the
Sunday morning and Wednesday even
ing services
While the church has grown mate
rally, as is evidenced by the neces-
sity of a new building, and the grow
ing attendance at the services, the
real growth Of the church Is estimated
on the basis of its effect on the lives
Of its adherents, rather than on the
number of members; on the spiritual
growth Of its members rather than on
that which is seen as the material
growth. On page $50 Of Science and

A petition for the establishment of post office has al' ready been filed with the Postofiice Department at Washington.
 That the population of Matthews if composed of contemplating citizens is evidenced by tho fact that Q demo cratic club has already been formed with O membership including nearly every man in camp, and the recent petition for Q postofiice bore the sig natures of iS0 prospectors.

DANGER FROM
 SURGEONS KNIFE
 IS NO MORE

You ought not to fear the surgeon and his knife any more. They are less dangerous than crossing a crowd ed street when you are well, or riding ln trolly car. Many more people suffer injuries and accidents from street cars. automobiles or trains, than meet with mishaps from opera tons
 The reason some people arc still afraid to save their health and their lives by submission to the knife is because they are hidebound with the memories of 20 and moro years ago, when surgery was far different from what 1t is today.
 Although Lister, the ingenious Eng fish physician, had discovered as ear ly as 1867 that the "Dlood posoning' and other nl effects of surgical oper- ations were due to germs and dirt, the enmlty bigotry, jealousy and opposi- ton of the medical profession kept Lister and his humanitarian discover ies hidden and suppressed for 20 years more.
 It vas not until 1902, 25 years lat. ern that his medical colleagues in London ceased to revile Lister and call him names. and began to give him due credit for his marvellous dis. coveries.
 Dr. w. w. Keene, the distinguish ed American surgeon, says that in five years preceding the introduction of ether at the Massachusetts gen erdal hospital in Boston the entire hospital staff performed in all only 1S4 operations, or three operations lmonthl
 Today operations are 80 safe and painless that @ single surgeon perform thousands of them in a similar period without loss of life.
