We had q little distance to go. but
at last came close to the dark. solid

turned to mademoiselle.

She stood at bay, a splendid creature,
her dark eyes flashing through the
night. The time had come for me to
play my trump card.
"Eh. bien! Mademoiselle! We do
not seek to detain you. We will do

friend that the moment you go back
you will be arrested!'
Arrested said she and de Lorgnac

You recognize this? You lost 1t today,

With this pulled out the kerchief

| looking at me In blank amaze. but as
for the girl she made no answer. but
stood there, white as a sheet. and
could hear her breathing thick and fast.
"Mademoiselle. you have forgotten
how long the arm Of God is. You
were seen this afternoon ut an inn
called the Chapeau Rouge with Chan
tonnay. You there made your bargain
with him. How he persuaded you to

She began to sob now and cry. The

"Mademoiselle. you see that little

to the tall wax candles that burned
on the table.

She made no answer, but held the
letter over the candle. and as 1t leaped
into flame cast it into the fireplace
where 1t burned to q cinder.

The Two Covenants

Some have thought that the
the law of God, the ten COM
mandments, is the old covenant,
but it is not.
The old covenant was the
agreement on the part of the
people with God to keep the ten
commandments.
The people, or the greater por-
ton of them, entered into this
covenant in an unconverted state;
and it became, therefore, a state
of bondage to them, and hence
they soon broke it by going into
idolatry. Gal. 4: "a; Jer. 81, 80
Elk. 80: 1-8.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1916-05-26

The covenant was ratified or
confirmed by Christ's death on
the cross, after which it can not
be altered. Heb. 8: 1917; Gal.
3: Is. Since no alienation can be
made in the new covenant, or
testament, after Christ's death,
which occurred on the day before
the Sabbath, or Friday, or Fri
day, therefore, no change can be
made in anything that Christ
taught before his death. Gal. 3:15
Law, Sabbath, conversion, bap-
tism, Lords supper all were
taught by Jesus before his cruel
fixion, and therefore belong to
the doctrines of the new coven-
ant duties, far it is claimed that

Philadelphia. 49, General Carranza's
representatives on the MexicaD-Ameri

American members on Monday that
the protocol signed three weeks ago
al Atlantic City had not been ratified
by Carranza.
They supplemented that admission,
however, with a declaration OF the at

and assured the Americans that the
delay In ratification did not signify
the rejection OF the agreement which
they had signed after almost three
months of consideration
The exact character OF the com

made public. but It was evident at tho
close OF the conference that both Am

Thousands of German Prisoners

During Days Fighting, Many

Paris.--A short, sharp battle
brought to the French on Saturday
their third smashing victory within
two months in the vicinity of Yer
dun. Every objective of the French
commanders was obtained.
Although the Germans offered des-
perate defense the attack was so pow
erful there was no withstanding It,,
with the result that the Germans
were pushed back along the line by the
French, who only ceased on orders
when the detectives had been gained.
Thousands of German prisoners
poured into the French lines during
the day, including 200 officers, and
are still arriving. The total count
already is 1900 One division alone
captured more than 1900 Germans
within an hour. More than eighty
cannon were captured or destroyed.
The villages of Vacherauville, Lou

mont Wood now are in French hands
The front was ten kilometers long
When the fighting ceased, owing to
the darkness, the French advance had
exceeded an average of three kilome
tiers along the whole front, at various
points rushing further out.
The battle began at 10 o'clock in
the morning with the left flank of the
French opposite Vacherauville and
the right flank on Fort Vaux.

agreement to this effect is possible,
owing to the sufferings caused by war,
and adds:
But Germany must not be asked to
