Burros are a good deal more de-
pendable than horses, especially"
For goodness sake" Haidee
cried, "stop philosophizing! Must
you always be so practical? Why
can't you let yourself 60 once in
awhile?"
ut doesn't pay" Spence said SOL
emnly, Ito let yourself go in this
country" He paused. His eyes were
inscrutable. Perhaps you'd rather
not take this trip, ma am"
The wretch! Haidee could have
cried for sheer fury. How she hated
this tall, quiet, handsome son of the
West! How she loathed him! He
was too smart, too cunning. He
didn't want her to take the trip to the
abandoned borax mines. She was a
nuisance. He was using this as a
means of getting rid of her, pretend
ing to be concerned about her well
fare.
She considered reporting his inso-
lence to Walt Briggs, who owned the
Maverick Dude Ranch, where she and
her family and a party of friends
we're spending the winter But she
knew that wouldn't do any good.
Spence was a valuable man. Walt
Briggs would rather lose a half
dozen guests than lose Spence
Beaton. Besides, what grounds did
she have. really, for complaint? And
what if he were fired? What If he
went away and she never saw him
again?
Oh, Lord, why had she ever agreed
to come out to this miserable coun-
try?
Ride on Donkey.
When the small cavalcade set of
from the ranch, heading toward the
distant, mysterious looking Funeral
Mountains, with Spence Beaton at
its head, Haidee was among the
half-dozen guests who made up the
procession. She rode a flea bitten,
lop-eared, miserable little donkey,
and she felt ludicrous. But she
laughed and was gay with the
others. Indeed, she had good reason
to feel gay and nght-hearted, for
hadn't she though Of the most bril-
liant plan imaginable? Hadn't she
thought of q plan that would out
smart the crafty, cunning Mr..
Spence Beaton?
Suppose she got lost? Suppose
Spence Beaton came looking for her
and couldn't find her? Then what?
How would he feel? How would he
explain to Walt Briggs and her
father and mother? Ha! She guessed
that would take the starch out Of
him, all right.
Haidee, in her rides about the
ranch, had come upon the cabin
of a lone prospector located at the
base Of . small mountain, where

YOU we're. Well =" Her voice broke.
You can imagine the rest.
Bud stood opening and shutting his
hands. Mrs. Locke appeared behind
Bethany, just as she spoke again.
II guess you thought you could play
the great big man and win my ever
lasting gratitude, all for forty-eight
dollars and twenty-five cents. You're
probably somebody's spoiled boy;
money doesn't mean much to you"
Her low voice was rising higher.

However, in the cold nurky light of
next morning. as Bud set his parcels
on the fence outside Kilgore's Office. he
felt a bit foolish over his melo-
dramatics. This third attempt seemed
childishly futile, in view of what had
gone before.
As the six chairs inside the fenced
enclosure were all occupied by frown-
ing women, Bud leaned on the railing
and waited. Voices rose in muffled dis
pute from the frosted-glass Office. The
door flew open and little old lady
barged out, muttering things that
sounded strangely like swear-words.
Her angry eyes fell on the hatless Bud.

Paul's second epistle to the Corin-

Lesson Sermon on Spirit on Sun

A Scriptural selection includes
these words of the Psalmist: 20
LORD, thou hast searched me, and
known me. Whittier shall / go
from thy spirit? or whittier shall I
flee from thy presence? If !
take the wings of the morning, and
dwell in the uttermoSt parts of the
sea; Even there shall thy hand lead
me, and thy right hand shall hold
me- If say, Surely the darkness
shall cover me; even the night shall
be light about me. Yea, the dark
ness hideth not from thee; but the
night Shineth as the day: the dark
ness and the light are both alike to
thee. How precious also are thy
thoughts unto me, o God! How
great is the sum of them! If
should count them, they are more
in number than the sand; when l
awake, | am still with thee"
