'HYou don't mean to try to keep me here against my will?" she asked. I'm afraid I haven't thought very far,'' he answered. Cecelia sat watching Calder prepare the evening meal, silently and with an indifferent face. She sat down at the rough table and ate the supper Calder had pre- pared, her relish of the food undis- guised.
 The Mexican had fused about the place, had got himself something to eat, and. after humble curtsyings, had betaken himself away.
 Where is he going?" Ceceda ask wered guardedly.
 Cecelia, smiled.
 'tyou can't change my purpose by coaxing me" Calder remarked with a slight show of humor- I'm going to keep you here till you promise to marray me-
 ''How masterfu1."
 cecelia shrank back in her chair. Some slight noise made her look to- and stared down the stony rail
 Look" she exclaimed.
 Two black figures on horseback stood out in clear relief.
 Calder arose and stared also.
 Henderson" she whispered. And
 "Dalryrnple," he finished inpas- sively.
 50 I am rescued,'' she said with another mocking laugh.
 'If I see fit to give you up," Calder answered cold1y.
 Cecelia gave another look down the trail. The men were approaching rather slowly up the ascent. Their horses appeared jaded. Cecelia turn ed back to the room with an air of indecision.
 Then very suddenly, she stepped to the back of the room where small window looked out upon the pha1anx of tall rocks. She leaped out lightly glancing back she spoke to Calder"
 Tell them I am not here" she said clearly, and she disappeared be- hind the rocks.
 Henderson aIighted. His face was anxious, his eyes dull They quick ened when he saw Calder.
 ''So this is where you disappeared.' he exclaimed abruptly.
 How long have you been here?'
 "A few hours" Calder replied.
 Where's the Mexican"
 "He rode off a while ago"
 Henderson's tired eyes searched the cabin; studied Calder's unreadable face.
 DalrympIe. who had been waiting on his horse. dismounted, and stalk ed in.
 Heard anything of the young lady2" he asked
 Miss Darrow-is lost" Henderson ad nnitted unwiIlingly to Calder Any thing been seen of her this way?"

publica candidates appeal is em- bodied in the prohibition question, While Reeds denunciation of the Re publican Administration for vetoing the soldier bonus bill is made with the view of gaining the support of the veterans mothers and other rela tives, as we'll as the veterans themselves.
 In this respect Reed must stage a comeback" Much opposition to the senator was provoked among the women of Missouri owing to Reeds $ opposition to the suffrage bill and his bitter attacks upon Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations.
 At the recent convention things were not sailing on what might be termed a calm and placid sea for the senator, and many women delegates refused to mingle with the Reed forces While there still is a rather strong undercurrent of this feeling many Democratic women have become reconciled to the party and are sup porting Reed.
 Brewster is counterng Reeds at tack on the Republican Administra- toa by pointing to the failure of the Democrats in their platform adopted at Excelsior Springs to endorse the Wilson Administration ir any of it's accomplishments He also is defend- ing the Republican Administration from what he calls Reeds unwar- ranted attack"
 Brewster. the choice in the Repub-
 
 on the liquor issue, showed himself to have strong backing, especially in the country districts, where the election decision rests. He is ex- pected to maintain his strength in the rural territories and to wage a determined fight to take away the Democratic seat in the upper branch of Congress.
 Reed made a great showing in St. Louis in the primary. which he car rIed by an enormous majority. Be cause of it's strong wet" vote Reed is claiming similar lead for the No- Vember election. Both candidates claim Kansas City for an edge of few thousand votes, as we'll as claiming the city as their place of residence.
 The territory outside of the two larger cities in the state is regarded as dry" Brewster is expected to gather a good vote in the dry terri tory, and. according to the political wiseacres, he must do so if he wishes to buy one-way ticket for the na- tion's capital.

THE TRUTHFUL DOCTOR SERIES

Dear Doctor:
 "In answer to your query, Should a doctor tell the truth?' I say em- phattcally yes. Not the truth that most people believe. bu the real truth-that man is a spiritual being in heaven, perfect and eternal, made In the image of God. a perfect be- Ing, in a perfect world, governed by a perfect God. That God is Love, and our Father, therefore an al1-lov- ing Father does not put man into the world to suffer and die, for He de- lights not in the death of any man. Tell man that there is nothing to fear, for God is infinite Love, and underneath are the everlasting arms, holding and protecting him against all danger. Such words as these have brought many a. man from the valley of the shadow, and given him more years of living for God and his nefghbors. Then he is able to say, T shall not die. but live and declare the works of the Lord - A Right Thinker"
 This is a beautiful letter. You nave given but half the truth, how ever, when you say that man is a spiritual being perfect and eternal in a perfect world. For man is also a physical being, far from being perfect. living in world far from perfect. How ever, he has a very husky and lauda- b1e desire to hang on to this 1mper- feet being and imperfect world just as long as possible.
 And while it is true that such in spirattonaI spiritual words as you have expressed, may have brought a man from the valley of the shadow, it is because he interprets these words to mean that he has another

CHAPTER VII. .TuSt ThnSa Tlwn

Prospect of food and return to the ranch had augmented Cecelia's cour- age She watched Calder hopefully. "There's not much here," he said; ''only some crackers and some tea but wait, here's a can of soup." Cece1ia sat down in a chair by the rough table while Calder warmed the soup.
 Here, drink that" he said, hand ing her a cupful. "Tn have some tea to go with the crackers in a minute. I'm thankful that old Boyle left som mething in his shack. He's gone off prospecting. His place Is ours for the night at any rate.''
 For the night! But I'm going back to the ranch!" Cecelia excIaim- ed.
 Its a long ride. and you are tired. Rest for a few hours ana we drink another cup of soup.''
 "In drink and eat" Cece1ia re- piled, "but I'm. going back tonight"
 Cecelia looked longing1y around the cabin. Its baroness and simplicity touched some responsive chord m her nature. She wished that she might stay there forever. with John Calder always caring for her. She gazed at his tall figure bent over the sheet-iron stove on whose hot sur face he was toasting more crackers. Her whole nature had accepted him at the beginning. Her whole nature accepted him now. T we1nt hinI" she cried to herself. 'I want himl" Oh, why could she not break down the barrier between them? Why could he not speak?
 It would be easier to remain here,'' she said.
 Don't you want to go back?"
 s'No''
 ''Could you be content never to go back?" Calder asked.
 Yes I could be content" CeceIta replied.
 For always %
 "Yes, for always"
 Calder turned and walked the width of the little room. There no stopped and. with arms folded across his chest, regarded her.
 Then you love me!' he said sol emnly.
 "If you love me- Calder continued with me? Why can't you marry me?"
 These questions were hard to answer. Cecelia sat with averted eyes, but whole throes or emotions were sweeping through her.
 F'Don't!' she said with an excIa- nation of pain. "Doon't ask me these questions. can't talk now. Wait till some other time till I'm back again and feel like myself
 Yes, wait" Calder retorted btt- terly. Wait till you've had a chance to repent your folly. Perhaps it is not so easy to saw no tonight, but it may be later. If 1t comes nara you can depend on your brother to spirit you away. And I can crawl back into my hut and live alone ana hate everything that comes within my sight. No, I will not give you up."
 These are not days of seizure by force," Cecelia observed scornfully
 Where is your horse?''
 'At the mouth of the canon." Cal der replied shortly, and went out
 Calder joined Cecelia in the door way The pitchy darkness did nor seem to appeal to him as it did her.
 If you are ready to mount your pony I will try to lead him out or the canon," he said.
 You are good to me" she saio.
 Don't call me good" he answer ed almost roughly. I've managed to maintain my ba1ance-so far"
 He lifted her into the saddle quickly. and grasping the birdie led the pony out through the dense blackness of the canon.

What should she do?
 Thus CeceIia questioned as she rode blindly to Calder's leading.
 By leaning forward she found that she could reach Calders arm up- lifted to the bridle. She touched it lightly.
 He came to quick halt. What is it?" he asked.
 'Ewhere are we?" she faItered.
 Calder resumed his cautious march
 Near the mouth of the canon" he answered. a disappointed ring 10 hls voice.

 Henderson and DaIryrnple came out fmm edia tely.
 Calder waited for Cecelia to come in.
 But Cecelia did not return. Calder searched swiftly around the rocks, above them. through their crevices. There was no girl in hiding there.
 He searched through the stubhole, all about the shack. for her cayuse. The cayuse was gone.
 Calder stood perfectly still for an insts nt. congealed by anger.
 Toe next instant he had sprung on the back of his horse and was off in pursuit. He rode around and around search ing in every direction.

BEING LAZY.

l BEING LAZY. l It may not be necessary to suggest | to the average woman the value of
 rest of relaxation. Modern domestic 1 conveniences and a. whole changed i standard of living have taken us very | far from the days of our great grand l mothers when constant activity was | held to be virtue. Cynics tell us 1 that nowadays women do nothing | com pared to their ancestors, but the
 synics are always wrong. Girls in ] offices and factories work more stren- l uously than the grandmothers who ran spinning wheels.
 l think today that we have less even distribution of labor. Life is
 much harder for some and much cas- Ter for other women. To all those who are employed, either with house, factory or office work, I simply want to say that there is health and en- 1oyment and increased efficiency In a certain amount of well directed laziness.
 If you are doing your own house. work you can get through your daily tasks in actually less time if you lie flat on your back or lounge deep in a chair for a five minutes rest every hour Of course. if you are so strong that housework does not tire you then you do not need the rest. I am speak
