ruined humanity. This is to be
done by the dedication of self in
Guiding our intellect, our heart,
our will together with our time,
talents and energy. Love for
Christ and mankind will lead us
to consecrate our material pos
session to the glory of God. It
will lead us to make a personal
effort to disseminate the glori-
Gus gospel of the Son of God
among those who have it not. If
we love Christ we will strive to
obey His commandments. We
will not only love Christ, but will
also love those who are begotten
of Him.
Having questioned Peter Sc
closely and drawn from him an
acknowledgment of his love-
Christ charged him to Feed my
sheep. This same charge is
passed on us as sons and daugh-
tiers of the Most High. AS we
study this lesson we come face
to face with the same searching
inquiry as did Peter. If it were
possible let us today set Peter
aside that we might take his place
at the feet of Jesus. May we
hear Jesus say to us, "Son
daughter, loveth thou me more
than these?" What shall we an

He professed faith in Christ
about 80 years ago and lived a

The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-04-29

Archie, to begin WITH" she had
said, land you're not the kind of
man I'd marry anyway. You've
never done anything in your life
but play tennis and dance and
make yourself agreeable. I've
done about the same things.
We'd bore each other to extinc-
ton. No, thank you'll"
She had not said it sweetly
either, because she was so angry
that her cheeks were pink and
her eyes flashed. Landon choked
down his anger without accusing
her of being in love with that
wager fellow" as Teddy Banks
had called Mark, but, none, the
less, he knew she was, and he
vowed vengeance - not on her,
but on the man. He had been in
this state of mind when Teddy
broke in on him with his shock
ing revelation. Landon felt like
shouting; it was a fearful thing to
introduce him, but he could lose
no more by that man than he had
already. He had lost Pam! Very
well, then; she would know be-
fore the sunset that she had to
give up her convict!
Landon, setting tight in the
jumping taxi, laughed bitterly,
with kind of goulish joy. It
was not until the vehicle stopped
at the door of a dingy brown
stone front, that it occurred to
him be to afraid Of the conse-
quence - physically. He remem-
bered suddenly the terrible grip
of Marks hands in the smoking
room; but he was at a white heat.
''The convict" he thought, "the
understanding love to her!'
Jealousy and something deeper,
a kind of brute fury, carried him
up the steps to the door. But he
met only disappointment. The
landlady herself answered the
ring. Mr.. Grant had gone-sent
his luggage away, paid her and
left an hour ago or more. Landon
leaned against the doorpost, white
to the lips. It was not part of his
plan to lose the triumph of his
knowledge; to beat down the law
! breaker!
The woman, seeing his face,
grew anxious.
Il heard-just today that
: he'd been in jail"
Landon nodded, Served a term
for murder"
She uttered a frightened excla-
nation and then shook her head.
ITO think of it! And him such a
nice young man, too"
you're sure he's gomez" Lam
don painted - his anger was not
assuaged by this escape.
HE said SO, sir; going west, he
told me; didn't say where" she
added. "but 1 think-Nebraska. "
Landon' glanced at his watch.
The Chicago flyer had not left
yet. Could he make it and get at
him at the station? He rushed
the taxi there at full speed and
made it before train time. He
stood a long time at the gates,
waiting, searching the crowd with
his eyes. But there was no sign
of Mark. Landon's thirst for bat
tie grew rather than diminished;
he wanted to humiliate the man
who had shaken him like a pup

CHAPTER VIII
(COntinued)

He was aware of Teddy's angry
sputterings behind him, but he
took no heed. He found the taxi
waiting outside and commandeer-
ed it. He had found out, in the
early stages of the affair, where
Mark had his lodgings; he ordered
the taxi now, and threw himself
back into the corner of it to think.
The strongest feeling that pos
sessed him at the moment was a
kind of fierce exultation. He had
not forgotten the smoking room
and Marks defiance and con-
tempt. He had his weapon now
and he meant to use it mercilesS-
ly. The manner of doing that most
thoroughly and swiftly was the
only thing that greatly concerned
him; for a while he discounted the
probable consequences to himself.
He had seen Marks first meeting
with Pamela Rodney, and he had
been utterly unprepared for the
rush of his process. Landon, a
product of social conventions, a
dandy of the ballroom, but fully
determined to marry Pam, the
heiress, had never dreamed of
making love to her with eyes that
had the kindling flash of Marks.
He could not. He had not the
power or the will of a man who
had suffered. Destiny had cast
Mark into a fiery crucible, he had
come out of it something of a
pagan, but the pagan was clean
and strong. He had never loved
any woman before; in prison at
seventeen he was heart whole,
and the rush of passion smote
him - as it might pagan -
nightly.
Such love burns like a flame
The flame had caught Pam, as
fire touches the lovely wings of a
butterfly and brings it down to
earth. Landon, looking on, know
ing how and why he had brought
them together, ragged at the
thought. He was helpless, too. If
he told the truth, Mrs. Lynn
would certainly exclude Mark al
together, but she would just as
certainly exclude the man who
had made the wager; she would
indeed, exact the heaviest penal
ty from him, and Landon knew it.
While Mark stayed away from
the house he had breathed more
freely; he had begun to believe
that his threats had taken effect,
or that Mark himself had reserve
enough to forbear from further
transgression. Then, by accident
he had seen him emerge from the
tearoom with Pam and had leap
ed to the conclusion that they
had met often. The thought had
maddened him; he was furiously
jealous, and an ill-advised, inef-
fectual attempt to warn Mrs.
Lynn had only made Pam equally
angry. Then Landon, possessed, as
he felt now, by some demon of
i'll luck, had put his fate to the
touch on the spot and asked the
girl to marry him. He had been
refused too absolutely to leave
any hope at all. Pam was a mod
ern; she took the matter calmly
and gave him a flat answer.
Il don't like you well enough,
