of her shapely small shoe.

In the driveway down the yard the
girl handed Brownies rein TO her ia
thep and ran into the house. When
She returned a moment later, she had
on a short riding skirt, and was buck

The preacher allowed his eyes to
stray over the trim figure and rest on

"A present from-Jack," the girl
answered to his look, at the same
time dropping her fingers to the neat
holster-"he trapped mink t git the

The preacher handed ReX's bride
rein to her and hurried into the house.
The old banker. grinning toward his
daughter at the eccentric dOminie's
mincing step, suddenly seemed to re-
member something. tapped the breast
pocket of his faded coat; drew out
the formidable letter addressed to
Jack WarhOpe and handed it to the
girl, with the request that she deliver
1t at the first handy opportunity.
Wondering, the girl looked at the
letter and put it away in her blouse,
just as the preacher returned carry

looking ivOry-handled siX-gun that had
thudded against the bottom of the
skiff on the day of the SEEMING trip. In
the other hand he held a very service

flask, bullets and caps hanging from

FIRST LESSONS IN CITIZENSHIP
MOBILIZE YOUR MEMORIES.
But the Egyptians were as daring
as they. Where Israel goes we can
go and the chariots swept after the
fugitives into the darkness and storm
of the early morning. Out on the
muddy bottom, wheels ciogged with
sand or broken by the roughness,
wind changing and driving the ad-
vance of the returning tide in misty
spray, panic seized the hardy chari-
oteers who recalled all the stories of
the months in the dispute between
Moses and Pharaoh and they turned
to flee. But swift as they and swifter
leaped the sea. The feet of the driv
ers standing in the chariots were
awash, the horses wallowing thru the
surf. Then wheels stopped, horses
reared and fell, charioteers struggled
in the surge and the tide showed only
its broken crest as it still climbed I'M
der the whip Of the wind. On the ar
shore Israel watched in shudderlg
amaze as the bodies were thrown up
at their feet and the day deepened
and the certainty of their escape grew
more and more clear, they burst into
exstatic singing, Miriam and her
maidens leading the wild song of eX-
ultant triumph before turning toward
the wilderness path And that whole
scene became q heritage of the race
recalled with every Passover season
in which the birth of the nation was
celebrated. Miriam set song in the
heart of Israel that was the lifting
note of triumph in the days of the
empire, was a hymn of hope in the
days of exile, was dirge Of desire IN
the days of Rome that grew into a
pean of praise upon the lips of Ste
phen and of Paul. 1t has lived thru
all the ages of Jew and Christian.
Why did God set it there? Because
the difference between the slave and
the citizen is in the winged memories
upon which He rises into larger worth.
The savage has no great memory to
lift him above his squalor. Ameri-
cans can not sink to servility in the
face of Bunker Hill, of Valley Forge,
of Gettysburg, of AppomattoX; in the
face of Washington, Lincoln, Francis
Willard, Clara Barton and thous-
and more who have blessed the race
by their service. God Almighty walked
in the background Of all Hebrew
thinking, therefore His thought has
mastered all The thinking OF all the
world.
