lie had no idea by what means Gardi-
ner proposed that they should possess
themselves of Harris money, and he
felt some doubt about any such at
tempt being rewarded with success.
Nevertheless. Gardiner seemed to
think the matter simple one enough.
and Gardeners good clothes and good
cigars were evidence of his ability to
carry his plans into effect
Rifles breakfasted as soon as the
dining room was opened, eating his
meal hurriedly, as he always did, al
belt the French-fried potatoes, TO
which he was unaccustomed, could be
poised on his knife only with consid-
cradle effort. Then he sat down in an
arm chair on the shady side of the no.
tel to wait for Gardiner. He had sud-
lands which had been the purpose of
his journey.
1t was almost noon when Gardiner
appeared on the scene. You don't
hurt yourself in the mOrnin's," was
Riles' greeting.
Don't need to-" he answered cheeri-
ly. Besides, I'd long session after I
left you last night. No, no particulars

your hands for that kind Of work.
How dye like this air? Isn't that
something worth breathing?"
Good enough" said Rifles, but l
didn't come out here for air"
mo, you came for land. I'm sur
prised you're not out bouncing over
the prairie in a blackboard long before

Rifles shot quick glance at Gardi-
ner. But he was putting a cigar and
drinking In the warm sunshine with
obvious satisfaction.

Rifles could not recall that he had
said anything that committed him in
any way, but Gardeners tone implied
that plainly enough.

In aNshort time they were on their
way. The road skirted the river,
threading its way through the narrow
belt Of cotton woods and evergreens
that found footing In the moist soil of
The valley.
Its all right, Riles," Gardiner was
saying. IF you're prepared to stay
with the deal we can pull 1t through
no doubt about that. That is, IL
Harris will sell his farm and come out
here with the cash In his jeans. If he
won't do that, you better get busy on

II don't care whether he loosens up
or not" said Gardiner. "All care is
that he brings the money, and brings
it in bills. No checks, mind you. Get
him out here with the cash on him,
and I'll do the loosening up, If II
comes TO that"
Rifles was somewhat alarmed at the
sinister turn of the conversation. He
had no conjunction about getting the
better of his old neighbor, the man
who had entrusted him with the dis
charge Of their joint mission. but he
had considerable respect for the force,
If not the principle, of the law.

said. 81 wouldn't want t get mixed up

Christ's Appreciativenees

Christ's appreciativeness amounts
almost to a rediscovery of mankind.
"She has come afOrehand TO anOint
my body to the burying," He said
when Judas grumbled that the
woman had wasted the precious
ointment. The gospel mentions three
other women who lOnged 10 anoint
the Savior. They came TO the sep
ulcher on the third morning to find
His body gone. Too late! Mary said,

THERE is nothing particularly new

muSlins, except the names by which
they are called. Pajamas and the
like have become "slumber suits;

clude several types of night dress.
Hidden wear" is also more accurate
than undermuslins, for underclothes
have long since divided their allegi-
ance between muslin and silk fabrics,
with demand pointing toward the use
of crepe-de-chine in increasing guam
titles. AS women grow fastidious in
these matters they require more in
quality of fabric, whether of cotton

The Bio Human Need.

A man without religion is not man
at all. If we do not take TIE God Of
the Bible, we inevitably proceed TO
make a God for ourselves. 1t is this
fact that makes religion the only posi-
bic social binder. Just as children in
the home find their family unity in the
fact of their common parentage, so
men in societies are able to live to-
gether because and when they achieve
spiritual unity.-Dr. Charles A.

flume, July 18.-Fiume lingers in

state of Jugoslavia is pressing for
ward In an effort to take the trade
with America that Fiume held before
the war.

Already small steamers are being

they do not touch at Fiume, formerly
the chief port for this trade.
The Italian suggestion of a consor-

gamation of the port of Fiume and
the port of Baross, has been enacted
by the Jugoslavs, who claim COM
