orders for the long boat to be

ingly.
Even when shore was reached

Cabell, who spoke French al
most as easily as he spoke Eng

had gained the cobbled streets of
that ancient and legitimate port
city they felt vast relief. They
were "safe in France" at last.
They were in a country that, like
America, was at war with the
English. :,
The cart driver was surprised,
when he turned around, to find
that the subdued old lady he had
carried had become a laughing
young woman with croppe brown
curls. He was so intrigued and
puzzled that he stopped his cart,
to stare.

The Saviour prescntS~a man de-
livered. The demons knew they
must leave the man at the word
of the Master. But he granted
their request to go into the hero
of 1000 swine being kept in the
pasture lands probably by Cen
tile corporation or possibly by
renegade Jews. The herd demon
strated the affinity of unclean
beasts and, unclean spirits as they
rushed down the mountalnside IN
to the lake and were drowned.
Was this simply a wholesale de-
struction of property? Was not
the man worth more than the
herd? -

The citizens thought of a man
denreciated. The swineherds were
astounded at the drowning of the
swine. They fled the scene in dis
NAV and spread the news in city
and country. Soon the people of
the district flocked together in
GREAT numbers to see Jesus who
had driven forth the demons and

elite did not reply. He was

Dor where several fishing boats
rode at anchor and a few shacks
lined the shore. To larboard of

Yet he was not entirely Latin

half-breed man, carrying IN ms
veins the worst traits OF TWO
races.
Jerry asked, Are We your only
passengers?

Jerry started to speak in the
silence, but Banks lifted warn
ing eyebrow. Jerry's impetuouS
handling of the situation might be
fatal. "No doubt this news sur
prises you, Monsieur elite" Ca
bell repeated in French. I'VE
have spoken with tn elady. She
tells us she is American, the same
as ourselves. She has asked us to
see her ashore"
Il. "She does" said elite in
French. His hand started to shift
from the wheel to his belt, where
a pistol hung, then desisted. His
sliding eyes had seen their pis-
tolls, dropping from their hands
with a sort of tender carelessnesS.
. Not one of his own men was
within hail.
= Jerry's nerves snapped. He
could not endure this French pat
ter that left him in ignorance of
what went on. He said to elite,
"YOu've locked her in"
"AbSentmindedly, no doubt" "
murmured Cabell Banks. He be-
lieved that much more can be
done with a man who has not lost
face. He watched elite intently
and saw his method almost work.
Then came defiance. What If

Two pistols were raised a few
inches and held rigid. "The key
to the cabin! Cabell requested.
"Give it to me and I'll go unlock
the door. You'll need to stay at
the wheel. Ny friend here will
stay with you to keep you from
being lonely"
:
Jean elite, sometimes known
as John Mclean. took from
around his neck an iron key that
hung on a chain and tossed it to
Cabell Banks. He appeared not
to notice that Jerry Whitfields
pistol still covered him as Banks
moved quickly off. The exig-
encieS of a smuggler'S life had no

/ ask him to be their guest for days
and weeks? On the contrary, the
people besought him to leave, as
Nazareth sternly rejected him and
the Samaritan village refused
him hospitality and even at Jeru,,
salem he came unto his own and
his own received him not. At best
they must have been alarmed at
the presence of a Person whose
power they could not compre-
bend. But more probably they
wanted him to go because he IN
terfered with their business, as
Paul's preaching in EpheSus m
terfered with the business OF DC

At any rate, Jesus complied.
for he will never thrust himself
upon the unwilling.
A MAN DIRECTED :.
The evangelist was a man d.
rected. As Jesus embarked from
Gadara the healed demonlac de-
sired that he might accompany
his benefactor hencefQrth. But
Jesus had other work for him to
do: "Go to thy house unto thy
friends, and tell them how great
things the Lord hath done Tor
thee" This he did throughout the
ten ?citied district east of the Sea
of Galilee. Everybody marveiled
at his cure and his calling. Ana
because of his ministry, Jesus on
a later trip found a hearty wei
come among these eager noun
taineers. -

most remarkable of natures freaks.
The fish spends most of its time
skipping about the mud fats in search
of food or basking in the sun while
perched on a mangrove root or stone
at the edge of a pool. While out of the
water the large gill chambers are kept
filled with air and the tail is often left
hanging down in the water. 1t literally
breathes through the skin of the tail
more efficiently than by means of
gills. 1t can survive for thirty-six
hours with the tail submerged, but
hardly half that long if only the gills
are allowed to function.
This strange creature has become
50 accustomed to life out of the water
that it is unable to live in what should
be its native element for any length
of time. Moreover, its movable bull
bous eyes are adjustable to vision in
the cir as we'll as in the water. A spe-
cial muscle enables it to shift the lens
close to the retina, producing sharp
image even of objects at some dis
tance.
