"Once upon tirne!' she repeated.
''That sounds like story. That's the
way they always begin"
And so it was the beginning of a
story; but David did not tell it to her
then.
They went home together.
At Toinette's door, little Mr.. O'Ban-
non hailed David with a shout.
81 sent my dove into the wilderness"
he said, his eyes twinkling, "but you're
the most stable olive branch I ever
saw"

eyes. The pean of victory ceased.
The minister, man of God, rose slow
ly to his feet. He, too, felt tears rising
from the depths. Love had made him
the apostle of the people of the will
derness and he had knit their hearts to
his with bands of humble ministry. He
had never before addressed so large an
audience as this. Sunday after Sun
day, the ten or twelve who made up
his little Calvinistic flock, lacking a
church building, gathered in the homes
of his elders, Henry Rice and James
Armstrong; the foundations Of Goshen
chapel had been scarcely planned; but
today he found hundred men and
women watching him, expectant of
spiritual comfort. No one appreciated
better than he the sufferings, the be-
reavements through which they had
passed. In his meek and heroic spirit
he thanked God for the high honor be-
slowed upon him, that to him should
be given the words to, address so great
company. In a voice that rang
with prophecy, he read aloud that
thrilling call which concludes the four
tenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke;
and as he lifted his eyes from the
book, he found resting ON him the clear
steady gaze of the threescore back
woodsmen.
Il am going to speak to you about
tenacity of purpose" he began, ''the
quality of soul which enables you to
hang on to the thing you have begun
until you have finished it.
"Not one of you men and women but
despises man who gives up in the
midst of fight. This feeling is a part
of your very blood, for you have been
brought up in the midst of dangers
such as no other generation of men
has known. 1t is upon resistance up to
the last notch that your lives them
selves depend. That man among you
who surrenders imperils the lives of
all of you. There is not one of you
whose resolution has not been tried
and tried sorely by the almost insuffer-
able burdens of this new land. A hun
bred times you have said, why did I
not remain in the land which my IA
theirs have made safe and pleasant for
me? And hundred times you have
fought off that feeling of discourage
ment.
"You are about to be put to test
more severe thav any you have yet I'M
dergone. You have won the fight at Tip
pecanoe; but do not be mistaken: all
the pitiless warriors of the forest will
gather again and crush you out en-
tirely if they can; and behind them is
the power Of that nation across the
seas, whose tyranny our fathers have
overthrown at such tremendous cost.
"tAnd whosoever doth no. bear his
cross, and come after me, cannot be
my disclplep
"The words are those of the greatest
fighter of all. They are the words of
man who, without a single follower.
proclaimed his convictions before the
most hostile and unfEiendly of all gen
erations. The whole crushing weight
of its hate fell upon him, but he clung
to those beliefs to the very last-gaye
UP his life, rather than give them up.
He, of all men, knew what it mean to
cling to purpose in the face OF ire
mendous difficulties. Yet he says that
whoever cannot equally endure the

rooms in the village. Sodden with the
cold food, sodden with quenched hopes,
he sank heavily upon chair and
bowed his head upon his hands, there
to sit for hours in a numb wrestling
with bitterness that were beyond his
power to shake off.
After long while, he rose and drew
the pistol from its place-wiped the
dampness from its shining barrel and
gazed at it with unseeing eyes.

Scull turned paler. He had freed
himself from the girls clasp, and sud
denly his knees loosened beneath him
and he sank at David's feet. Lydia
threw her arms around his shoulders.
"The mark ~ cried Scull, raising
trembling hands.
David looked at the ribbon with a
start. "Why, yes, it is purple. But l
do not show it to you as q sign that
am keeping my oath of the Brother
hood. No." AS he continued his voice
grew tender; he seemed to be speaking
to himself or TO some vision which the
wretched figure kneeling at his feet
could not see.
''You saved my life just now" he
went on. II would have thanked you
for ending it, as you ended the love
of the one loved most in the world

Lydia stopped quickly and lifted Da-
vids hand to her lips.
She went hastily from the room. The
two men stood facing each other and
for a while there was silence. Then
David spoke slowly:
Are you going to remain herew
Soul Strengthened himself up.
No! we shall go back to England
I have robbed YOU of everything, and
you have given me everything. You
do not wish to see my face again. But

David nodded YEARLY and went out
A cold and dreary rain was still fall
ing, but ray of light shone from the
tavern door on the upturned face of the
dead Indian. David stopped and
looked down upon the sightless visage
for moment and then laughed. The
dreadful features were twisted into a
smile as to ultimate victory, and a
little rivulet of rain trickled unceas-
ingly from the corner of the mouth.
No more of wretched life; no more of
firewater!
David's hand stole unconsciously to
the pistol that hung heavily within the
folds of his own blouse. His fingers
frightened on it and his lips drew to-
gether in a harder line. Why
not? The thing so easily, so
quickly done. Why not?
Was there anything remaining to
make him hold to life any longer?
What though Blackford did believe in
him? What though hundred friends
believed in him? What mattered all
their friendships, tier stupid greet
ings, the little kindnesses of daily in
tercourse? What did his dreams of
great things to be done in this new
land amount to? Petty dreams, petty
tasks, buying and selling, squabblings
over pennies, wranglings over little
gains-a sordid prospect, the heritage

CHAPTER XIX.
The Story BEGINS.

In the little stone courthouse on that
Sabbath morning a hundred voices
were lifted in the stirring music of
Giardini's triumphal hymn. The peo-
pie of the countryside had gathered to
give thanks to God for the victory over
their savage foes. The vigor of the
chant swelled in a stern strength which
was made beautiful by the rough voices
of the pioneers. In the little room the
hymn echoed with the majesty of
cathedral chant:
Come, thou Almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing,
Help me to praisei
Fatheri all glorious,
Ger all victorious,
Come and reign over us.
Ancient of days!
David felt himself thrill in every
nerve; his wife's hand trembled in his
and he knew that, like himself, she
felt the mighty glory of life and love,
of trial undergone, of good triumphant
over i'll, of warnings toward the inef-
fable. Tears of happiness stood in his

other half would be divided among
