predatory impulse that urged him to
Government House, watched Captain
Woodhouse pass, and his eyes narrow
ed into a queer twinkle of oblique hu-
NOR. So Captain Woodhouse had be-
gun to play the game-going to report
to the governor, eh? The pale soul of
Mr.. Capper glowed with a faint flick
er Of admiration for this cool bravery
far beyond it's own capacity to prac-
tice. Capper waited a safe time, then
followed, chose a position outside Gov
eminent House from which he could
see the main entrance and waited.
A tall, thin East Indian with a mar
row, ascetic face under his closely
wound white turban and wearing q
native livery of the same spotless
white answered the captains sum-
mons on the heavy knocker. He ac-
cepted the visitors card, showed him
into a dim hallway hung with faded
arras and coats of chain mail. The In
dian, Jaimihr Khan, gave Captain
Woodhouse a start when he returned
to say the governor would receive him
in his office. The man had a tread like
a cat's-absolutely noiseless. He NOV
ed through the half light of the hall
like a white wrath. His English was
spoken precisely and with a curious
mechanical intonation.
Jaimihr Khan threw back heavy
double doors and announced, Captain
Wood-housey' He had the doors shut
n~oiselessly almost before the visitor
was through them.
A tall, heavy set man with grazing
hair and mustache rose from a broad
desk at the right of large room and
advanced with hand outstretched in
cordial welcome.
Captain Woodhouse of the signal
service? Welcome to the Rock, cap
tain. Need you here. Glad you've
come"
Woodhouse studied the face of his
superior in a swift glance as he shook
hands. A broad, full face it was
kindly, intelligent, perhaps not so
alert as to the set of eyes and mouth
as it had been in younger days when
the stripes of service were still to be
won. General Sir George Crandall
gave the impression of a mar content
to rest on his honors, though scrupu-
lousy attentive to the routine of his
position. He motioned the younger
man to draw a chair up to the desk.
In yesterday on the Princess Mary,
l presume, %captain?'
"Yes, general. Didn't report to you
on arrival because l thought it would
be quite tea time, and l didn't want to
disturb
"Rightt' General Crandall tipped
back in his swivel chair and appraised
his new officer with satisfaction-"Ev-
erything quiet on the upper Nile? Ger
mans not tinkering with the mullah
yet to start instruction or anything
like that?"
Fright as a trivet, sir" Woodhouse
answered promptly. "Of cours we're
anticipating some such nreye by the
enemy-agents working in from Eryth-
rea-holy war of a sort, perhaps, but
l think our people have things well in
hand"
The general stretched a hand across
the desk.
"Your papers, please, captain. I'll re-
ceipt your order of transfer and you'll
be a member of our garrison forth

Captain Woodhouse brought a thin
sheaf of folded papers from his breast
pocket and passed it to his superior.
He kept his eyes steadily on the gen
erals face as he scanned them.

Humanity owes its progress and its
freedom. not to the rich nor to the
powerful, but to the sons and daughters
of toll. who, as they have labOred with
their hands, have dreamed dreams of
social Justice and equality and of politi-

was not indifferent to the rich. He saw
them side BY side with the poor. each
conditioning the other. He hoped, and
history has Justified His hope, that the
principles which the common people
were first to receive would ultimately
work out the redemption of all.

jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps
neutralize the excessive acids in the
stomach so your food won't sour and
upset you There never was anything
so safely quick. so certainly effective.
No difference how badly your stomach
is upset you usually get happy relief
in five minutes. but what pleases you
most is that it helps to regulate your
stomach so that you can eat your fav-
orite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some

the beatitudes, as recorded by Luke, 1t
Is evident that Jesus officially took sides
with the poor. saying that IN the END
those who are poor and hungry and
thirsty and unpopular would be blest,
while those who are rich and satlated,
who devote their lives TO pleasure and
take the popular side OF every question
would some day weep and howl Inc
language Is deeply expressive OF the
feeling Of Jesus hope that some day the

Rides on BurTo.
In the wonderful Judgment scene,
which Is familiar TO everyone, Jesus
definitely linked Himself with the needy
and the oppressed saying, IN as much
as YOU did 1t not unto the least OF these
Nv brethren YOU did not it unto Me"
Il is not surprising, therefore, that at
the last He received the plaudits OF the
masses as He rode on a burro IN pro-
cession devoid OF military trapplngs or
displays, into the city OF Jerusalem 1he
scene was doubtless ridiculous TO the
aristocrats and ruling classes, but It Is
interesting to observe that having no
roval purple with which to clothe Him,
the common people took off their sweat
stained garments and tore, with tOiled-
stained hands, the branches from the
trees and spread them in His way

People Need Him
There are at least three reasons
plainly discernible why Jesus thus linked
Himself with the common people. In
