 Ward was gone an hour. He did not hurry; there was no need. Buck could not get away, and a little suspense would do him good.
 Bucks face was pasty when Ward opened the door. His eyes were bit glassy. And from the congested ap- pearance of his hands Ward judged that he had tested to the full his help lessness in his bonds. Ward looked at him minute and got out the makings of smoke. His mood had changed in his absence. He no longer wanted absolute silence between them; instead he showed symptoms of wanting to talk.
 ..If I turn you loose, Buck, what will you do?' he asked at last in a curious tone.

 "Oh. cut it out, Buck. I've seen you wriggle through snake hole before. l believe you're my friend just the way you've always been."

Why, l said, 1t is life itself I don't agree with you. was all he condescended to reply. This young man expressed the American idea.
 'I think the English dislike of the. ories, etc. through their long history is because of their poetical minds and their preoccupation with personality and its freedom.

Yet since scenery IS never dbsufd us afe poor mortals, neither is there laughter nor genial pity.

Origin of the Greek Church.

Apart from theological discussions. such as those rising from the addition of the words, "and the son." in the creed, the separation of the Latin and Greek churches may be traced to the founding of Constantinople and the political division of the Roman en- pire, according to Bible student. Ignatius, patriarch of Constantinople, had been deposed and was succeeded by Photius, who summoned q council of the East in S67. and passed sen tence of communication on the bish- op of Rome. The churches became re- united towards the end of the ninth century, and remained so until the middle of the eleventh century, when in 1054 Michael Cerularius, patriarch of the East, renewed the condemna- ton of the Latin church, and was In turn communicated by Pope Leo TX. Efforts toward reunion we're made from time to time. and at Fer rara (1439) the Greek prelates signed a decree of union, but were forced by the people and clergy to repudiase 1t. Since then the two eommunio1s have remained separate.

 "I did think of running you in and giving you a taste of hell yourself But, as usual, you've gone and tangled up couple of fellows that never did me any particular harm and I don't want to hand them anything if I can help it. So I'll just string you up after awhile, when l get around to it. and leave a note saying who you are and that you're the head push in this rustling business and that you helped spend the money that Hardup bank lost awhile back and that you're one of the gaZabos-"

 Ward finished the cigarette. rolled another and smoked that also before he could put his hand out before him and hold 1t reasonably steady. When he felt fairly sure of himself again he lifted his hat to wipe on the sweat of his anger. gave big sigh and returned to the tying of the hangman's moose
 When he finally had 1t fixed the way he wanted it he went close and flung the moose over Buck Olney's head. He could not trust himself to speak just then.

 Mechanically Buck obeyed. He did not know that the rope was not yet tied to the limb.
 Ward tied the rope securely, leaving enough slack to keep Buck from ehok- ing prematurely. He fused minute longer, with his lip curled into a grin of sardonic humor Then he crawled back to the trunk Of the tree and slid down carefully so that he would not | frighten the pinto

Shoes Worn In Early Days.

High-heeled boots were worn by ladies for three parts of the eighteenth century. They raised their fair wear CTS some inches, rendering walking difficult and running impossible.
 But these fashions were confined to the rich. The poor wore shoes of wood. reeds and untanned leather. The Highlander made brogans out of untanned deer hide. and the southern nations wore cloth sandals and slip pers. It was not until the year 1900 that all Englishman invented rights and lefts;" previously both shoes were shaped exactly alike. So far as we can discover, the aboriginal tribes of America never went barefooted. They always made and wore moeeasins, the easiest shoe ever invented.
