lean, with her hands behind her, against the opposite porch post. But tell me, what would you do with your pot of rainbow gold-if you should find ii? ?"
 Brouillard rose and strengthened himself with his arms over his head like an athlete testing his muscles for the record-breaking event.
 What would I do? A number of things. But first of all, I think, I'd buy the privilege of telling some wom- an that love her"
 She was silent for so long a time that he looked. at his watch and thought of going. But at the deciding instant she held him with a low-spo- ken question.
 Does it date back to the handicap? You needn't tell me if you don't want to-
 Tt does. And there is no reason why I shouldn't tell you the simple fact. When my father died he left me debt-a debt of honor; and it must be paid. Until it is paid-but I am sure you understand"
 Quite fully" she responded quickly. and now there was no trace of levity in the sweetly serious tone. Is 1 much?-so much that you can't--~
 He nodded and sat down again on the porch step. Yes, it is big enough to go in class by itself-in round numbers, hundred thousand dollars"
 "Horrors!" she gasped. And you are carrying that millstone? Must you carry it?"
 If you knew the circumstances you would be the first to say that I must carry it, and go on carrying it to the end of the chapter "But-but you'll never be free!" Not on a government salary" he | admitted. AS a matter of fact, it | takes more than half of the salary to pay the premiums on-pshaw! Let's drop it''
 She was looking beyond him and her voice was quick with womanly sympa. thy when she said: 'If you could drot

| it-but you can't. And it changes ev. | colors your entire life. It's heart- breaking!"
 This was dangerous ground for him and he knew it. In the ardor of young manhood he had taken up the vicari- ous burden dutifully, and at that time his renunciation of the things that other men strove for seemed the light! est of the many fetterings. But now love for woman was threatening ta make the renunciation too grievous to be borne
 "How did you know?" he queried GU. riously. Tt does change things. I'd sell anything I've got, save one, for chance at the freedom that other men have-and don't value"
 What is the one thing you wouldn't sell?" she questioned, and Brouillard chose to discover gently quickened interest in the clear-seeing eyes.
 My love for the-for some woman. Pm saving that, you know. It is the only capital I'll have when the big debt is paid
 Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?' she asked, looking down at him with the grimacing little smile that always reminded him of a caress. T have been wondering whether she is or isn't worth the effort-and the reservation you make. Because it is all in that, you know. You can do and be what you want to do and be if you only want to hard enough"
 He was looking down, chiefly be. cause he dared not look up, when ne answered soberly: She is worth 1t many times over; her price is above rubies. Money, much or little, wouldn't be in it''
 That is better-much better. Now we may go on to the ways and means; they are all in the man, not ill the things, not none whatsoever as Fig would say. Let me show you what mean. Three times within my recol. lection my father has been worth con. siderably more than you owe, and three times he has-well, it's gone. And now he is going to make good again when the railroad comes"
 Brouillard got up.
 T must be going back down yne hill," he said. And then, without warn ing: What if I should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Mi quoia, Amy?"

full reply to be made to this, Brouillard bent lower over his work and said nothing. At every fresh step in the forced acquaintance the newcomer was painstakingly developing new an- tagonisms. Sooner or later, Brouillard knew, it would come to an open rup- ture, but he was hoping that the actual hostilities could be postponed until after Hosford had worn out his tenn neers' mess.
 For a time the big man in the easy chair smoked on in silence Then he began again:
 Say, Brouillard, saw one little girl today that didn't belong to your work men s-family outfit, and she's peach; came riding down the trail with her brother from that mine up on the south mountain-Massinga isn't it? By love! she fairly made my mouth water!"
 Inasmuch as no man can read field notes when the page has suddenly be- come a red blur, Brouillard looked up.
 You are my guest, in way, MT. Hosford; for that reason I can't very we'll tell you what I think of you" So much he was able to say quietly. Then the control mechanism burned out in flash of fiery rage and he cursed the guest fluently and compre- hensively, winding up with a crude and savage threat of dismemberment if he should ever venture so much as to name Miss Massingale again in the threatener's hearing
 Hosford sat up slowly, and his big face turned darkly red.
 We'll" he broke out "So you're that kind of a fire-eater, are you? l didn't suppose anything like that ever happened outside of the ten-cent shockers Wake up, man; this is the twentieth century we're living in. Don't look at me that way!"
 But the wave of insane wrath was already subsiding, and Brouillard, half ashamed of the momentary lapse into down at the pages of his notebook when the GoOr opened and Qulnlan, the operator, came in with commu- nication fresh from the Washington wire. The message was an indirect reply to Hosfords telegraphed appeal to the higher. poWers.- Brouillard read it, stuck it upon the file, and took a roll of blueprints from the bottom drawer of his desk
 Here are the drawings for your power installation, Mr. Hosford," he said, handing the roll to the man in the chair. And little later he went out to smoke pipe in the open air, leaving the message of inquiry he had intended to seld unwritten.

CHAPTER VI Synptomatic

For some few minutes the two on the cabin porch made no attempt to talk, but when the rumbling thunder of the ore-car which the elder Mas singale was pushing ahead of him into the mine had died away in the sub- terranean distances Brouillard began again.
 T do get your point of view-some- times" he said. Civilization, or what stands for it, does have a way of shrinking into littleness, not to say cheapness, when one can get the proper perspective. And your life up here on Chigringo has given you the needful detached point of view"
 The trouble shadows in the eyes of the young woman who was sitting in the fishnet hammock gave place to a smile of gentle derision
 Do you call that civilization?" she demanded, indicating the struggling new town spreading itself, maplike, in the valley below.
 T suppose it is-one form of it. At least it is civilization in the making. Everything has to have some sort of a beginning"
 Miss Massingale acquiesced in little uptilt of her perfectly rounded chin.
 Just the same, you don't pretend to say you are enjoying it," she said in manifest deprecation.
 "Oh, I don't know My work is down there. A few weeks ago I was right eously hot. It seemed so crudely un- necessary to start pigeon-plucking match at this distance from Wall street."
 But now" she queried-"now, SUD- pose, you have become reconciled 2"
 T am growing more philosophical, let us say. There are just about so many pigeons to be plucked, anyway: they'd mott if they weren't plucked. And it may as we'll be done here as on the stock exchange, when you come to think Of it."
 T like you least when you talk that way" said the young woman in the hammock, with open-eyed frankness. Do you do it as other men do?-just to hear how it sounds?"
 Brouillard, sitting on the top step of the porch, leaned his head against the porch post and laughed
 You know too much--a lot too much for a person Of your tender years," he asserted. (Which names one more of the charming collection of contradictions which your father or mother or somebody had the temerity

welcome.
lNA CHAPTER VII MY!
A Turn in the Trail

For Brouillard it had seemed the most natural thing in the world to fall under the spell of entertainment He knew next to nothing of the young woman's life story; he had not cared to know. It had not occurred to him to wonder how the daughter of man who drilled and shot the holes in his own mine should have the gifts and belongings-when she chose to display them-of woman of much wider world. It was enough for him that she was piquantly attractive in any char acter and that he found her marvel ously stimulating and uplifting. On the days when the devil of moroseness and irritability possessed and mad dened him he could climb to the cabin on high Chigringo and find sanity. It was keen joy to be with her, and up to the present this had sufficed.
 'Egoism is merely another name for the expression of vital need" he said after the divagating pause, de- fining the word more for his own sat isfaction than in self-defense.
 You may put it in that way if you please" she returned gravely. What is your need?"
 He stated it concisely. ''Money-a lot of it.''
 "How singular!" she laughed. She got out of the hammock and came to

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether alling, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach The aC- tion of hot water and limestone phos- phate on all empty stomach is wonder fully invigorating It cleans out all tha sour lamentations, gases. waste and acidity and gives one a splendid ap- petite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both cred with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism others who have sallow skins, blood disor- ders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any store that handles drugs which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject of in- ternal sanitation-Adv

LESSON FOR APRIL 30
PETER DELIVERED FROM PRISON
LESSON TEXT-Acts 12:1-19.

LESSON TEXT-Acts 12:1-19
 GOLDEN TEXT-The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.-Psalms 34:7.
 One day the sons of Zebedee" de sired Jesus to grant carte blanche petition. Pressed further as to their particular request, they petitioned for the seats of authority on the right and left hand of Jesus in glory. In reply Jesus said that such petition was not a proper one nor intelligent Iy asked, but according to their in trepid assertions of willingness they should be baptized with his baptism of death Mark 1O:35-45), and that the greatest of his followers should be servant of all" Today's lesson is a fulfillment of that prophecy.
