The Scotch Canadian stood at the
edge of a willow grove. His face
was grim as the day of judgment.

Elliot laughed irritably. He was
both annoyed and disgusted.
What do you want?" he snapped.
"You."
What's worrying you now? Do
you think I'm jumping my bond?"

his shoulder and covered the shadow

Gordon flung out a wild protest
and threw the frozen slab of bacon
at the head of Macdonald. With
the same motion he launched his
own body across the stove. A fifth

opened and Sheba had come out.
The sight of her paralyzed Mac

A bullet struck the stove and went

slender girl standing before him.

glad my wife and 1 would have been
if you had been willing to stay with
us this last night before you go east
Our home is certainly less dreary
than a hotel"
Cynthia Long smiled gratefully.
You are very dear and good, Mr..
Blake. do not believe that any
other lonely girl ever had her affairs
attended to by such a kind and un-
selfish lawyer as you are. You have
made everything as easy as possible
for me. And l have let you do it.
But, much as I wanted to accept your
kind suggestion that 1 go to your
house tonight l was sure it would
be easier for me to start tomorrow
morning from a hotel rather than
from home-like house such as
yours"
But" the man objected, you are
very young, and-excuse me!-very
!, ,attractive; and it is hardly the cor
rect thing for a girl like you to spend
night unchaperoned in a great
hotel"

They went down together. Each
squirming for the upper place, they
rolled over and over. The rifle was
forgotten. Like cave men they
fought, crushing and twisting each
others muscles with the blind lust
of primordials to kill. AS they
clinched with one arm, they struck
savagely with the other. The i'm
pact of smashing blows on naked
flesh sounded horribly cruel to
Sheba.

knew she was there. Their whole
attention was focused on each other
Not for an instant did their eyes
wander, for life and death hung on

of their resentment, but long banked
passions were blazing fiercely now
They got to their feet and fought
toe to toe. Sledge- e-hammer blows
beat upon bleeding and disfgured
faces. No thought of defense as yet
was in the mind of either. The
purpose of each was to bruise, MAIN,

She nodded. At the moment she
could not trust her voice to reply.
Yet when the door had closed behind
her elderly friend. Cynthia Long did
not cry. Throwing off her hat and
coat, she began to walk rapidly up

too busy just now for her to con-

Mr.. Blake had spoken truly when
| he said she was attractive. Her girl
ish figure was excellent and her black
dress fitted her perfectly. 1t. also
cast into strong relief her auburn
| haid and fair complexion. Her eyes
were of the shade of hazel-brown
that sometimes accompanies auburn
| hair.
| Until she smiled. she was not actu-
| nily pretty. But Mr.. Blake had seen
| her smile many times. Therefore
he thought her uncommonly attrac-

She was not smiling now. Instead

Soon you will begin to reach for
the liniment bottle, just as you did
all last winter, and begin to rub the
painful parts, seeking relief from the
pangs of rheumatism, which your
own experience has taught you can
only be temporary.
Why not throw away your lini-

to get results?

feature OF many of the latest
suits. This one is made OF
gabardine with braid binding to
be exceedingly attractive. Es-
pecial interest is attached to the
ripple back and the high collar
in military effect. The lines are
all extremely attractive and
generally becoming. The model
is one that can be copied in any
suiting material. You can make
it of velvet if you are SO minded,
or you can make it of velveteen
or you can make it of velours
cloth or of duvetyn quite as well
as of the gabardine illustrated.
Broadcloth, too, makes hand
some suits and, if you wish, you
can put touches of fur ON the
collar and sleeves. The coat is
one of the very new ones with
a plain body portion falling in
pretty ripples below the waist
line at the back. The fronts
may be made pointed or straight,
as you prefer.
For the medium size the coat
will require, 3M yards of ma
terial SO inches wide, 234 yards

The pattern of the coat No.

AS the shades of eve were gathering
Ger the earth's fair gentle breast,
And the evening bells were calling
Toilers homeward to their rest.
It was then she heard her Master
Calling, Dear one, come away,

In this world no longer stay"
Then she closed her eyes a'slecping
And she smiled and broathed her

And her spirit went to jesus.

Joining in the mighty chorus
With that happy angel band.

To her children and her home;
She was loved by all that knew her
From her God she did not roam.

AS she walked down life's isle,
And l never, never met her
But she always spoke and smiled.

The children's exercises held at
Mount Zion last Sunday night were,
no doubt, fully as interesting and as
largely attended rs any of a like oc-,
casion in the history of one of the
oldest churches in the Methodist
Conference. The we'll appointed new
church house was packed, with an
overflow in the vestibulc. The house
was fiGnked with cars on every side.
The evening was very warm, but
what little discomfort there was in
the temperature was entirely for
gotten.
The children who took part in the
program had been drilled by Mrs.
Perry Browder, Miss Rachel McMur-
ry, Mr.. Scott and others and they
were all present and prepared for
the exercises.
On this occasion the Sellars quar-
tet, composed of sisters and brothers
of the pastor, who were here on
visit, assisted in the program OF
the evening, and indeed their con-
tributions to the service, including a
number of old songs, were full Of
spiritual beauty. The voices were
all fine and blended beautifully.
The children were very interest
ing and entertaining. They all sang
and recited with zest and spirit. The
pastor and his congregation were
pleased and the visitors impressed

LET HIM LIVE.

This bit of verse originally APP
peared in the November number Of
the Silent Partner:
AS long as the flowers their perfume
give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears,
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the saltcd brine of Scotchman's
curse.
would let him live on dinner each
day,
Served from silver on golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with everything but things to
eat.
And I'd make him a bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets of
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to its comfort he would
yield,
1t should stink with rot of the bat
tlefeld,
And blood and bones and brains of
Should cover him, smother him-and
then
His pillows should cling with the
rotten cloy-
Cloy from the grave of soldier boy,
And while Gods otcrs their vigils
keep,
And while the waves the white sands
sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep.
And thru all the days, thru all the
years,
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of
sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning
wild
A ravaged French girls bastard
child.
And l would build him a castle by
the sea,
AS lovely castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him ship from over
the sea,
A1 fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the silver
ed sands,
Scarce he may reach his eager hands,
Than a hot and hellish molten she'll
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch on the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more!
In mo Mans Land" where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the Kaiser, private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground
glass;
I'd march him out whore the brave
boys died
Out past the pads they crucified.
In the fearful gloom of his living
tomb,
There is one thing I'd do before
was thru:
I'd make him sing, in stirring man
ner,
The wonderful words of "The Star
Spangled Banner"
