"a GREAT QUESTION" ASKED
AT THE MORNING SERVICE

Every seat in the North church
was taken at the union service Sun
day morning and the local pastor par
ticipating in the devotional part of
the service were Messrs. Morse,
Poole, Richards, Martin and Sharp.
Dr. Rees preached from the text
found in Mark 6:36, "For what shall
it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?
The soul is valuable because of its
spiritual nature. Matter is matter
still and our dear ones fade as do the
flowers. The old world will finally
pass away, but there is within US
something that will outlive the
world.
The soul is valuable because Of the
wonderful powers with which it is
endowed. 1t has thought and reason.
Matter does not possess these attri-
butes. You cannot fix the limit of the
boundary of the soul. Who but the
Infinite eap say, Thus far, but no
farther"
The soul is valuable because Of its
scnsibili.ieS. How insignificant are
the nerves compared with the sensi-
tiveness of the soul.
The soul is valuable because of its
Immortality. WHAT'S it now worth and
who can estimate the value of soul?
1t is valuable because of the price
paid for its redemption.
II gave my life for thee, 4
What hast thou given for me?'
1t is valuable because it is all YOU
really have.

as though he felt he was d%isgracing
himself not to stay and tight-some-
body.
The Pearlhunter strained his ears
for sounds farther up the street, par
t1cularly for any loud talk or excite
ment back of the Mud Hen.
1t was the hour just after nightfall,
when village streets are most likely
to be deserted-the hour when
loungers go home to supper. Not a
sound out of the ordinary rode the
Mr.- .
s At the moment, a door opened on
the back porch of the sheriff's house.
A square of light picked out the rough
boards. The sheriff appeared with a
flat basket in the hollow of his arm.
A Woman's hand pulled back the mus
lin curtains at a side window and held
a candle close to the pane to light him
across the jail yard.
The %Pearlhunter lounged down on
the broken chair. A moment later a
key, scraping unbelievably loud on the
dull silence of the Jail, hunted it's way
into the lock. The heavy outer door
Whined back. A match scraped; the
suffering flame was laid to the stub
OF a candle; an arm held it through
the bars of the inner door.
"Oh, you're awake! 1t was so quiet
in here / thought mebbe y'u might be
asleep"
With the air Of a man dog tired the
P~earlhunter dragged himself up off the
chair, shambled out into the hall and
took the stub of candle from the sher-
ifs hand.
The sheriff fumbled three or four
dishes and a tin cup of black coffee out
of the fiat basket and held them close
to the bars. He stood well back, TAX
ing quite evident pains to keep,his re-
volver butt out of reach. He did not
know there was very dependable
weapon already on the other side Of
the bars. He made no move to unlock
the door or to enter the cell.
None of this escaped the Pearlhunt-
er. The chance to use his stove leg
was as good as gone, or rather, twas
not going to come. Once he considered
the desperate move of drawing his re-
volver and forcing the sheriff to open
the door. But the sheriff was known
to be a brave He might fight,
and II he did, one or the other Of them
would be killed. The %Peatlhunter dis
missed the plan.

CHAPTER VIII.
Silence That Came Alive.

The Pearlhunter was not a nan to
be long held down. His day was gone;
but the night remained.
The sheriff was to bring his supper
to him. The fact suddenly became
significant. Maybe he'd come inside.
Maybe he'd come alone.
A rusty stove out in the hallway be-
tween the two cells caught his eye. No
poker; no lid. The door was fastened
in a manner that prevented it's being
taken off. The hearth was gone. Moth
ing loose. He stood studying it. The
legs! He darted behind the stove,
lifted it, and wrenched one loose, hid
it under his rumpled blouse; and went
to the east window to watch the
sheriff's house.
A scratching at the west window
caught his ear. He listened till it
was repeated; crossed the hall and
tiptoed to the window. A hand came
up to scratch the window ledge again.
The Pathfinder laid his palm upon
it. 1t wa snatched away; but came
back again.

The mar on the outside raised him
self ever with the window. The Pearl
hunter would have recognized him in
half the light-the Boss. His face
came close to the bars on the outside;

the bars on the inside. The friendly

The young man grasped the hard

word or two. The Boss drew his hand
back and swore.
"Hit amt no more'n you'd "a done

face. The revolver went back below
the window sill. The bar was loose.
1T was almost unbelievable, but it
was so. For some reason or other 1t

he kept to himself. That q good many
thousands of human beings must have

Fiskie's; he must eventually have gone
southwest, because he turned up at

go? What did he do? To whom did
he speak? No answer came to these
questions.

Ronald Breton, lazing an hour away in
Spargo 8 room at the Watchman at that
particular hour which is neither noon
nor afternoon, wherein even busy men
do nothing, that shows how chap

merely an ant that had strayed into
another ant heap than his own. Nobody
notices.
You'd better go and read up little

and byways of colony to which he
doesn't belong he doesn't survive his
intrusion by many seconds"
