his head resting on pillow made BY

his eyes partially opened, but with no

were dull. lusterless.

"And l have given you my heart

They sat there, closely pressed to-
gether In that narrow space, scarcely
aware any longer Of the danger at
hand. eager only to hear each others
voice. Above the crackle Of the
flames, and the crashing of falling
timbers, they could distinguish the in
termittent crack of rifle, and the
echo Of voices calling. Shelby began
to dig with one hand at the pile of
earth beside him so as TO widen the
space between Its summit and the
roof. The action caused his mind to
revert to the imminent peril Of their
situation.

'How do you suppose Macklin ever

wonderingly.
"That's what bothers me. Either
he wasn't hurt much. or he had help.
1t is my notion the girl brought him
out in some WY. The shooting was
an act Of sudden anger, for which she
was sorry the very next moment. They
may be hiding there now, somewhere
In the tunnel"
She lifted herself up and peered
through the opening; the glare of the
flames did not penetrate beyond the
barrier Of earth and she saw nothing
but impenetrable blackness.
"Shail we go, and see?"
"Not yet; we are safer here, until
those devils give up. You can hear
their voices yet out there"
They had no way Of telling time,
and the hours dragged. The sound of
firing had entirely ceased. and the
shouts of voices died away one after
the other Shelby waited patiently,
listening for the slightest sound, but,
at last, could restrain himself no
longer.

said finally, "yet 1t must be nearly

Then we ought to hear any firing

He sent the Mexican girl on in ad-
vance, and lifted the unconscious
Macklin upon his back. Olga partially
supporting the helpless body. The
wounded man groaned at the first
movement, but lapsed Immediately
into silence again, and Shelby moved
slowly forward with his burden along
the dark, narrow passage. 1t termi-

by a covert Of brush, through which
the fellow had to be drawn cautious
iy. Once on the outside, under the
cold gleam of the stars, they found
themselves projected ~ tho high
banks of a gully, that turned sharply
to the left, competing with a deeper
ravine. The three clustered close, and
listened, but no sound broke the still
ness. Satisfied they were not OBJ
served, Shelby again picked up the
wounded man, and, with Pancha guild
ing, her figure barely discernible in
the gloom, slowly advanced down the
depression.
1t was hard, slow work, as Shelby
had to carefully pick his way among
the stones, seeking a safe resting place
for each foot. They must move noise
lessly. Their only hope lay In the con-
fidence the Indians felt in their death
within the cabin. If they were as
sured as to this, then they had prob
ably scattered. willing to wait until
morning to search the debris for their
bodies. But this they couldn't know.
AS they turned into the ravine they
obtained a glimpse of the burned
cabin. One wall yet stood, ragged
against the sky. and there was CLEAN

Of air sent sparks flying upward and
spirals of black smoke were visible.
No moving forms could be perceived
about the ruins, and 1t was evident the
spot was still In condition to render
exploration impossible.

The way was rough one, strewn

cool darkness into which they ad-
vanced was a great relief, while the
sense of action restored their shat

further obstruction of any kind, but
suddenly reached a sharp turn to-
ward the left. Shelby felt his pass

pressure of Olga's fingers on his
sleeve, but his eyes could perceive
nothing unusual beyond. Yet, with
his first step forward, he came to

JEWS TO OBSERVE FEAST
OF PURiM WEDNESDAY
Sending Of Gifts and Exchange of
Friendly Visits Among
Features.

The feast Of Purim, which occurs
next Thursday. will be celebrated
Wednesday evening with services in
the synagogues of the city and will
continue through the next day.
+ The ritual of the Purim feast con-
sists in the reading of the Book or
Scroll of Esther in the original or in
translation. In days of old this
reading was accompanied by the un-
restricted comments of the congre-
CATION on the contents of the scroll.
The mention of Queen Esther and
Modecai was the occasion for ap-
plause. while the trickeries of Ha-
man were ridiculed and reviled by
any noisy method or instrument.
The semi-mirtnful treatment of this
biblical story yielded in course of
time to a more sober rendition. The
story of the Jewish people in ancient
Persia. where the scene of the Book
of Esther Is located. reflected in part
the career of the Jewish people in
all ages. Then. even as now. in some
quarters. the Jewish people were be-
set by oppone nts AND daily their lives
Were threatened as they were in the
story of Esther, which relates how
they were plotted against by Haman.
The joyous celebration of this feast
was never modified in the darkest
period of Israers career. The bitter
experiences the Jewish people were
forced to endure gave them greater
reason to observe this festival in a
spirit of merriment. in order to coun-
teract the sadness of their own lot
and revive their tagging faith in
God. who shielded them against the
attacks of the implacable foe.
Home and synagogue were the scenes
of joy and gladness. In the home ad-
ditional delicacies were served at
meaItime. All who happened to be in
distress were given cause to rejoice.
At the present time social programs
are arranged such as masked balls
and theatricals to provide cheer for
the entire Jewish community. The
sending Of gifts and interchange of
! friendly visits is another feature of
| the Puiim celebration.
