inc Fioht IN tho STUDY.
Eaton dismissed the man who had
been waiting in his rooms for him; he
locked the door and carefully drew
down all the window shades. Then he
put his overcoat, folded as he had
been carrying 1t under his arm, on
the writing table In the center Of the
room, and from Its folds and pockets
took "breast-drill" such as iron
workers use In drilling steel, an auto
matte pistol with three clips of car
tridges. an electric fiashlight and a
little bottle Of nitroglycerin. He
loaded the pistol and put it in his
pocket; then he carefully inspected
the other things.
He raised shade and window, and
sat In the dark. The night was
cloudy and very dark. He gazed at
the south wing of the house; the win.
dows Of the first floor were closed and
the curtains drawn; but tonight there
was no light In the room. Then In the
dark he moved to the table where he
had left his overcoat, and distributed
In his pockets and within his clothing
the articles he had brought; and now
he felt again In the overcoat and
brought out short, strong bar of
steel curved and fiattened at one end
Jimmy" for forcing the windows.
Eaton slipped off his shoes and went
to his room door; he opened the door
and found the hall dark and quiet
He stepped out, closing his door care
fully behind him, and with great eau
tion he descended the stairs. He went
to a window In the drawing room
which was set in recess and so
placed that 1t was not visible from
other windows In the house. He
opened this window and let himself
down upon the lawn. He gained the
south corner Of the wing, unobserved
or at least without sign that he had
been seen, and went on around 1t.
He stopped at the first high French
window on the south. AS he tried to
slip his Jimmy under the bottom Of
the sash. the window, to his amaze
ment, opened silently upon its hinges;
1t had not been locked. The heavy
curtains within hung just In front of
him; he put out his hand and parted
them. Then he started back in aston
ishment and crouched close to the
ground; inside the room was a man
moving about, flashing an electric
torch before him and then exploring
an instant in darkness and flashing
his torch again.
Eaton had not been at all prepared
for this; now he knew suddenly that
he ought to have been prepared for It.

Range Conditions Show Improvement

Range Conditions Show Improvement
Denver.-The condition OF ranges in
the seventeen western states on March
shows improvement compared with
month ago throughout more than half
Of this territory, but especially in the
central portion and in Texas, accord
ing to reports Of the field statisticians
of the United States Division of Crop
and Live Stock Estimates. The condi-
ton for the entire seventeen states ay-
erages about the same as last month,
or SO per cent Of normal, the improve
ment being cOunterbalanced by de-
cline In condition particularly In Wash
ington and California. In the latter
state the cold weather early In Febru-
ary succeeded by drying winds and
lack Of rain have curtailed the growth
of grass somewhat. The spring pros
poets for ranges In Texas are reported
as the best In years, due to abundant
moisture; there is room here on the
range for more cattle, in some In
stances it being but one-half stocked.
General rains also greatly improved
the prospect for ranges in Arizona, IN
Guiding the desert lambing grounds of
Salt River valley. A good growth Of
grass and weeds is starting through
cut most of the southern range states
The states which show an improve
ment in range condition over that of
last month are North Dakota, Texas,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico. Ari-
zona, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Oregon,
while those showing decrease in con-
dltion are South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Washing
ton and California. The outlook for
spring grass in Colorado is quite favor
able and ranges are reported as S3,
compared with 80 month ago, due
chiefly to the good prospects where the
range is covered with snow where the
range is not SO covered, the grass Is
generally used up. Hay is scarce in
some sections although the mild open
winter las tended to conserve the sup
ply. Cattle and sheep continue in ex-
cellent condition, being reported as 98
and 9S per cent respectively, or the
same as month ago. The prospect
for the spring calf crop Is good.

feeling that In helping him there might
be danger to herself, she suddenly and
eagerly welcomed that danger, and
made her decision.

try to-leave7"
"Yes."
LET us go out" she said,
She led the way downstairs and, In
the hall, picked up a cape; he threw
it over her shoulders and brought his
overcoat and cap. But In his absorp-
ton he forgot to put them on until,
as they went out into the garden to-
gether, she reminded him; then he put
on the cap. The night was clear and
cool, and no one but themselves
seemed to be about the house.

she asked.
He turned toward the forested

They passed the man and went
down the path Into the ravine and up
the tiny valley. Eaton halted.
"You don't mind waiting here a few
moments for me?"
"No,' she said. you will return
here?'
The Holly chieftain., 1923-03-22

YES" he said; and with that per
mission, he left her.
Both had spoken so that the man
above could not have heard; and Har-
riet now noticed that. as her compan-
ion hurried ahead, he went almost
noiselessly. She stood still. shivering
a little now In the cold; and she lis
tened. she no longer heard his foot
steps. What she had done was done
then just as she was telling herself
that 1t must be many moments before
she would know whether he was COM

"No; you must tell me! Can't you

to her and seized her hands. "You

YES; I've trusted you. Can't you
believe as much In me?'

He crushed her fingers in his grasp.
"Oh, my God, I wish / couldi"
"You wish you could?" she echoed.
The tone Of 1t struck her like blow,
and she tore her hands away. "What
do you mean by thatY
He made no reply but stood staring
at her through the dark. "We must
go back" he said queerly. you're
cold"
She did not answer but started back
up the path to the house. He seemed
to have caught himself together
against some impulse that stirred him
strongly. "The man out there who

assumption, though she would not re-

knew he must now be asleep. But
she felt that Eaton was no longer
thinking of this. As they entered the
house and he helped her lay OF her
cape, he suddenly faced her.
'We are In q strange relation to

She waited for him to go on.
"When the time comes that you

Ic-Lessons From Luke's Gospel.
The method of review must be de-
termined by the grade of the class, by
the test Of the teachers and by the ma
ture Of the studies of the quarter.
Three methods are suggested:
~ Centering in the Topic Jesus the
Worlds Savior. This method is sug-
gested by Doctor Crannell.
I. The Worlds Liberator.
l. From Diseases. Lessons i, 8.
2. From "Legalism." Lesson /.
3. From Pride. Lessons 2, g.
4. From Selfshness. Lessons 2. 3.
8. From Prejudice. Lesson Z.

8. About Prayer. Lesson 9.
Ill. The Worlds Sacrifice.
i. Sacrifice Faced, Accepted. Lesson
10.
2. Sacrifice Rendered Lesson II.
(2) Modern Applications of the Les
sons. This scheme calls for reports by
members Of the class to whom assign
ments were previously made. This is
taken from Peloubet's Notes.
Lesson I. "What should we keep OF
the old-time Sabbath7"
Lesson u. "Why is 1t hard to be hum
BILE .today?'
Lesson III. "Are our churches really
open to the prodigals7"
Lesson ~. "What should our rich
men do for our Lazaruses?"
Lesson v. "Men and women who de-
serve much gratitude and receive lit
tie"
Lesson vi. "what may we reasona-
bly, expect from prayer?"
Lesson VII. "Why 1t Is hard for a
modern business man to be Chris
tian."
Lesson VIII. "How the church should
utilize Its average members"
lesson TX. "How can we get our
church members to give as much as
they should?"
Lesson X. "Things that Christians
do not grieve enough over"
Lesson xi. "How the message of the
cross might be brought to all men in
q generation"
(3) The Central Teaching Of the
Lessons:
Lesson I. There is no malady of man
connected with soul or body which Je-
sus cannot heal.
Lesson u. Unselfshness will move
one to humbly take the lowest place in
life, esteeming others better than him
self.
Lesson III. God is longing and wait
ing to welcome to His bosom the vilest
sinner who comes with contrition Of
heart.
Lesson ~. The one who lives only
for this life shall surely suffer agony
and torment In the life to come.
Lesson v. Ingrattude is common to
the natural heart. The Lord expects
those who experience His salvation to
give Him their love.
Lesson vi. Those who pray to God in
the right spirit shall surely get the
blessings sought.
Lesson VII. The supreme purpose of
the coming of Jesus Christ to the
earth, taking upon Himself our hui
manity. and dying on the cross was to
save lost men.
Lesson viii. Upon those who have
not been faithful in the use Of gifts the
Lord shall execute judgment at His
coming.
Lesson TX. We are responsible to
God, but God measures our gifts by the
extent of our ability.
Lesson X. Bitter agony was suffered
by Christ when He bore our sins.
Lesson xi. In Christ's death full
price was paid for our sins.
