LOCK ana went toward the writbinp Goliath, whose legs only were visible now.
 Then third shot rang out on the morning stiffness. It had been fired rom a point some little distance away, and Dale's condition of mind at the moment was such that he didn't even note the direction from which the sound had come. He was unhurt and he had not heard the whine of bullet or the pattering of shot on the leaves When he looked about him, he saw no one; neither did he see any telltale smoke. Perhaps, he thought dimly, it had been a squirrel-hunter that had fired that shot. He forgot about it very quickly for the time be- ing, and went on toward Adam Ball, who now was lying perfectly still.
 There was a bullet-hole through and through the great, shaggy head The face behind the short, curly black beard was of the colorless hue of soapstone. The giant hillman was dead.
 Bill Dale knelt there beside Black Adam. Again he clutched at his throat with his two shaking hands, and this time he tore his blue flannel shirt. All the agony and all the remorse in the universe seemed to be gathering there in his heart. Never before had he seen death. Its grim presence terrified him. That the deplorable thing had been an accident, due to his faulty craftsmanship, mattered little. He had killed man, and the blood-red brand of Cain was burning away on his brow; he was man in a hell of his own making. And kneeling there Bill Dale sobbed great sob that shook his broad shoulders as violent ague would have shaken them.
 He tried to look at the blue-edged hole in the shaggy head at the cruel, brutish face that was of the colorless hue of soapstone. MercifuI tears blinded him, and he couldn't see. It was compensation, pitifully beauti- ful compensation.
 Five minutes passed, five minutes that were as five years to this man who had never been in the presence of death before. Then he realized that he was being surrounded by kinsmen of the dead mountaineer. He looked up into their ashen, angry faces, and they cursed him. Big and gripping brown hands were placed upon him; several rifles were turned upon him. He arose and spread out his arms, and offered his breast to the drowning mug zles. They could give him, at least, | oblivion.
 "Shoot, if you like" he said bitterly. Tt was an accident, y'know, but shoot. if you like"
 "No," commanded Adam Balls father a slender and angular old man with a struggling iron-gray beard "No, don't shoot. Shootins too quick,

 Dale had by this time worn the keen edge from his grief by means of his great will power. He bowed slightly to the officer and replied with grave courtesy:
 Relieve me, sir" with the very faintest trace of smile, T am very much obliged to you'
 Luke Moreland led up the sleek young bay that Bill Dale had named Fox, and Dale swung himself easily into the saddle. He faced the sheriff.
 If you're ready to go. sir" he said, T am"
 Together they rode through the woodland toward the broad, green val ley, with the Littlefords, the More lands, Major Bradley and Hayes fol- lowing closely behind them.
 Up on the side of David Moreland's mountain there had been a silent and unseen witness to the arrest of Bill Dale. She was hidden behind 8 gnarled and twisted clump of sheep laurel, sitting on patch of tiny, dainty. pure blue dayffowers-crushing

 Ability to stand the strain of work is the privilege of the strong and healthy, but how our hearts ache for the weak and sickly women struggling with their daily rounds of household duties, with backaches, headaches, nervousness and almost every movement brings a new pain. Why will not the mass of letters from women all over this country, which we have been publishing, convince such women that Lydia E.

THE AGE OF MAGIC

In the stress Of present-day activities and the
storm of present-day ideas one can always pause
and take comfort in the thought that if the theory
of evolution be true mankind has been doing pref
ty well for the last few thousand years. Fully
as much comfort may be gathered from the re-
Election that if the story of mans fall from an
angelic state be true the genus homo is still
deserving Of praise for his rapid rise from the
pit into which he descended through ignorance,
original sin or whatever it may have been that
caused his downfall.
From the Age Of Stone to the present time
seems long, long time to mortals accustomed
to thinking in terms of years. but it is but brief
hour in the history of the globe and less than a
minute, perhaps, in the endless cycles of eternity.
How sudden, indeed, has been the rise of man
since the time when cave men went providing
through dark forests, searching for living prey,
yet trembling at the sight of their own shadows
to the time when human beings speak to one
another across continents, seek to hold commun-
ion with celestial beings and grappe with the
gods.
The ages of stone, gold wood, iron and steel are
past. This is the age Of magic. Magic is the
application of principles to forms for the purpose
Of producing new combinations which appear as
actual creations By applying what we have learn
ad from the past concerning forces and substances
we have produced electricity ships, airplanes, au-
tomobiles, engines Of every conceivable design
and for any desired purpose, and machinery of
every imaginable description and power. Truly,
this is the age Of magic In a material way man
has accomplished the miraculous. Let him but
now develop himself ethically and morally, as he
has already developed himself intellectually, and
he will have cause to be proud Of himself.
