Replied to Questions.
When the formal statement had
been read by him in Japanese and
by a junior assistant in English trans
lation, Premier Hirota called out that
he was now ready to answer questions.
The correspondents grouped around
him thickly and for a half hour a
barrage of pointed questions were shot
at him. Occasionally speaking
through an interpreter, but more
often answering directly in English,
his replies came quite as rapidly.
They were clear, lucid, frank. In
a dozen words or so, he would clear
up the obscurity that had hung about
this or that policy. In that half hour,
Permier Hirota did more to make
clear and understandable to the for
eign correspondents of Toxic the pol
icy of the empire and the reforms
that are now to be undertaken than
had whole reams Of prepared state
ments of policy.
The interview tea ended on a
laugh and the swapping of numer.
Gus photographs, as the correspond
ents again filed past sentries ano
gendarmes. The premier of Japan had
come down out Of official clouds ano
made himself a real person to the
world press and I and my colleagues
are ready to vouch for the accurate
appraisal Of Koki Hirota by the JAP
anese people in their genuine love
and loyalty for the man who is now
prime minister of the empire.

terested Lord Kelvin greatly. Com
passes were not very accurate in
those days. So Lord Kelvin created
a compass based on entirely new
principles. This compass, though
modified somewhat, ia still in use
today.
Lord Kelvin's major interest,
however. was in the study of heat
the science of thermodynamics. So
great was his recognition of the
importance of temperature, his BIZ
ographers report, that he always
carried a thermometer in his vest
pocket. 1t enabled him to know,
among other things, whether the
room in which he sat was being
kept at proper temperature for
maximum efficiency, just as the
built-in thermometer in every Ke.

know if her food is being kept al
the proper temperature for maxi
mum safety.
Lord Kelvin was born in Belfast.
Ireland on June rs, 1924. He Lied
on December II, 1907 and was bur,
led in Westminste- Abbey On his
death, Sir Richard Glaze5rook said:

her to death in the market square
of Rouen.
1t is this spirit of indomitable
obedience to the inner call of God
which is needed today in all de-
partments of life, but especially in
the Christian Society. Christianity
is not today the ruling faith of our
national life, or of any nation. We
have a new kind of state, pagan
rather than Christian. What of the
future? Will the Christian religion
have a place in the mass civiliza-
ton now in process of develop
ment? Only if the disciples of
Christ are true to their God and
conscience, whatever the cost.

The robbery was discovered the

The sheriff, German, made a
hasty investigation in a very impos-

for a bank examiner to handle the

had vanished, taking the trail back
to Westhaven. The bank examiner
made some hasty calculations and
pronounced the bank insolvent. The

THIRD INSTALMENT

Better make the most of 1T lii
skates" cautioned Tex. "Gosh
knows when yuh'll get any more.
As soon as it was light enough
to read sign Tex got busy. First he
rode in a wide circle about the
Springs, peering closely at the dust
and sand of the desert floor. Johnny
followed closely at his heels. They
completed a circle of about a mile
when Tex pulled up and while roll
ing a smoke 1sered with keeA eye:
out ITO the northwest.
"Delevan had the right hunch,'
he drawled. "Wade an the rest Of
those coyotes double theil

Johnny, who had learned a loa
about reading sign from Tex
nodded.
"Yep. They jest cut out ninety
or a hundred haid an headed EN-
northwest with two men on the
drag. The rest they took On to the
Box D. They cooked up th@t yarn
about rustlers as a blind an fingered

"Shore, yuh're learnin', son
Lemme see, Wade an his gang
musta left Skeleton Springs about
noon yesterday. The tracks show
that's about right. That gives 'em
about seventeen, eighteen hours
start. They CANT drive them cattle
any too fast cause that long drive
in to the Springs must had EN-
pretty well tagged. l gotta bunch
we can ketch 'em. C'mon."
At noon Tex halted enough to
loosen the saddle girths for a mo-
ment while he poured a mouthful
or two of water from a canteen
into the crown of his hat and let
the thirsty broncos wash the dust
from their threats and nostrils.
Then the cinches were taken up
again and the steady grind resumed.
At about three in the afternoon Tex
rose in his stirrups and pointed
ahead. There, maybe five miles
distant, lay a drifting cloud Of dust.
Tex increased the pace percept-
IDLY and an hour later he and
Johnny came to the edge of a wide
dry lake, across the middle of which
weary, thirsty lines of Hereford cat
tie slowly filed. In the rear, haz-
ing the cattle onward, two men
were riding, swinging the ends Of
lariats across the backs of laggards,
fighting the inevitable slowing
down of the herd.

Witnessing Under Persecution.
Lesson for July 18th. Acts 49,
II.
Golden Text: Acts 5:29.
The keynote of our lesson is
sounded by the Golden Text, W.
must obey God rather than men"
This was the platform upon which
the apostles stood, and from which
they went forth to conquer the
world despite Imprisonment and
m~artyrdom. And this has been
the inspiration of Gods saints
down through the ages. 1t was the
motto Of such early leaders as Au-
gustine, Patrick, and Benedict. 1t
moved St. Francis to adopt a life
of remuneration and poverty. 1t
gave Luther the courage to battle
for a free church. 1t led George
Fox all over England in a sensation
al preaching mission.
And we may accept this text,
too, as the explanation of the hero
ism of Joan of Arc. One day,
while walking in her fathers gard
en-, she seemed to hear a Voice
which she felt must come from
God. It told her to save her be-
loved country, France.
Everyone knows the sequel. She
was only a girl, and her family and
neighbors tried to hold her back.
But donning a suit of armor,
mounting a white horse, and bear
ing a banner embroidered with
lilies, she went to war, and deliver
ed the City of Orleans from the
foe. Then, wounded and betrayed,

an two daid rustler's on our hands,
Tex. An they's two broncs for
yuh to take yore pick of. I'll round
'em up for yuh."
While Johnny was busy with his
errand Tex rolled a cigarette with
shaking, fumbling fingers. He was
blinking his eyes rapidly to keep
back the moisture.
"Yuh dang, heller skelter, loyal,
guilty young eub," he muttered.
"What would I do without yuh?"
Then he blew his nose loudly and
set to getting his saddle off his dead
bronco.
Tom Burney, book-keeper of the
Cattleran's Bank in Carillion,
stared in a stunned, mortified, apa-
thetic sort of a way at the doorway
leading into Ed Starbuck's private
office. Sprawled on his face across
the sill was Ed Starbuck. His one
arm was out-stretched before him
and a few inches in front of his exs
tended fingers lay the heavy revolt
yer the old man had not been swift
enough to use. A little pools of
crimson was beginning to spread on
the floor near one shoulder of the
still figure.
Almost at Starbuck's feet lay
another body, that of Al Stinson,
the Cashier of the bank. He also
had made the mistake of reaching
for a gun. Tom Burney wrenched
his eyes from the dead men and
scared through his window at the
two masked figures beyond. The
round, unwinking muzzle of the
frontier model Colt which was
trained just at his waistline, seemed
to possess some hypnotic quality.
1t had the same cold, malignant
suggestion which lies in the appraised
head of a rattlesnake about to strike.
A thread of pale smoke was trick
ling above it. Two shots and two
men dead! A muscle twisting
shudder rippled through Burney's
body. He could feel the great
blobs of sweat gather on his fore
head. In a purely mechanical man
ner he started to lower his right
hand to brush the moisture away.
Keep 'em up!" came the harsh
command. "Ain't there anything
but damn fools in this place? Move
over to that cage door and unlock
it. Keep yore hands in plain sight.
One phoney move an therell be
three dead men instead O two.
Hurry up!"
Moving with the mechanical
stiffness of an automaton Burney
walked jerkily to the cage door.
Burney was a mild little man, to-
tally unused to scenes of violence;
supremacy contented with his posi-
ton amid his endless columns of
figures. What had just taken place
had filled him with dread and hor-
ror and had stunned all thought
and initiative.

Tex and Johnny lifted their
broncos into a gallop and pounded
down across the quarter mile which
separated them from the rustler:
and the cattle. So absorbed were
the rustlers in their work they die
not guess at their pursuer's prox-
unity until hardly fifty yards sepa-
rated them. Then one of them hap
pened to turn and look back. He
shouted to his companion, jerkec
out a gun and wheeled his horse tc
one side.
watch y~oreself, kid" yelled
Tex. "I'll take the one on the
right"
Both the rustlers were shooting
now. They were desperate, tired
men, their nerves on edge from
WEAKNESS and bodily discomfort
and faced with the knowledge that
they were caught cold with the
stolen cattle in front of them. To
surrender was to put their necks in
a moose. They would fight it out.
Johnny picked his man and went
at him on a run, leaning low over
his bronco's neck. He heard the
whisper of flying lead above him,
but he held his own fire until not
twenty yards separated him from
the rustler. Then he refined MS
horse to a sudden stop, sat up
straight and loosed two careful, de-
liberate shots. In the interval be-
tween his first and second shot
something lifted his sombrero from
his head. But he did not finch,
determined to make the most of his
careful shooting. Harum-scarum
as the plan was it worked. With
the second report of Johnny's Colt
the rustler stiffened and pitched
head-long from his saddle.
Then Johnny turned to see how
Tex was making it. A gulp of fear
rose in his throat. Tex's horse was
down and kicking. Tex himself
lay, half sat to one side, but shoot
ing deliberately. The second out
law was backing his horse away
holding the rearing animals heae
and neck before his body as a shield
Johnny gave a yell and dug in the
spurs, racing in on the rustler at an
angle. Johnny was shooting now,
trying to draw the outlaws atten-
ton from Tex. He succeeded but
found himself suddenly clicking
the hammer Of his gun on empty
cylinders.
Realizing his predicament Johnny
kneed his horse away, smoking back
the loading gate and punching out
the empty shells as he rode. Quick
to grasp his opportunity the rustler
poised himself for a careful shot at
the fleeing Johnny. For a split
second the rustler was stationary
and Tex, now on his knees and
aiming carefully over his left fore
arm, pulled trigger on the last load
ed chamber in his gun. Close on the
heels of Tex's shot came another.
But the rustler's bullet went wild
for he was already falling. from the
saddle, shot in the temple.
Johnny whirled his horse about
and galloped back relieved to see
