The, following morning, however,
there were signs of life at the Web

Buck and his men were in the

to Blaze.
"We can. se>e them from here for

'Melody studied his friend’s face
before he spoke again.
“Every once in a while you pull
a mysterious crack like that,” he
finally said. “What you got up your
sleeve?”
“It goes back a long ways, old-

faithful to the parting commau'd ot
her Lord- The rite for new believ-
ei’s is to be continued'until tlie Lord-
com.ee again, for He added, "and,
I am with you aiway, even unto the-
end of age.”
The first great obedience to thi«**
command occurred op the day o#

need of the Saviour’.wTiom .their had crucified. As they ,;cri^ out to know
what they should 41o, the reply came
"Repent, and be baptised every one
of you in the, 1W of Jesus Christ,
for tile remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy-
Ghost.” What a baptismal service
that was! "About three thousand
souls” were added to the believers
And this means that some three
thousand souls were added to Christ
that day. For, as the water, baptism,
parked their confession of Sin and.
repentance, and their faith. in
Christ as one who coqld save them,
and wash them in -His precious blood
from their sins as water never could,
so the baptism of the Holy Spirit
added them to Christ by uniting or
joining them literally to Him. Now
I-Iis experiences were their exper
iences. He in their behalf, and an
their Substitute, had died unto sin:
so they had died, unto sin. He had:
been raised from the dead: so they*
were raised from being “dead in
trespasses and sins” unto, a new life
even ‘the life of Christ. For the.
great and spiritual and eternal
meaning of baptism Ts given in the.
lesson passage in Romans 6. * It iu
tp be feared that many, even among
real Christians, have not realized the
wonder and the preciousness of the
fact there 'declared, about them.
“Know ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into His death?
Therefore we are buried with Him
by baptism into death: that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even so
ws also should walk in newness of
life.”
That is baptism indeed, the bap
tism that only God the J-Ioly Spirit,
can bring to pass. Differ however
much they may as tp the mode or the
time of baptism, after all there is
but "one baptism” for the children,
of God (Eph. 4: 5), "for by one
Spirit are we all baptized into the
one body” (1 Cori, 12: 13.)
After having been thus joined to
Christ Himself in literal, eternal un
ion, we are to commemorate His
death in the other great rite that He
ordained, the sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper. Christ’s body was broken,
His blood was shed, that we might
live. So we are to eat of the bread
at His supper, and drink of the cup/
in remembrance of the priceless sac
rifice He made for us. As we do
this we. are to look forward to His
coming again, by which He will con
summate the redemption He has won
for us. "For aS often as ye eat this
bread and -drink this Pup, ye do shew
the Lord’s -death till He comes.”
The
Christian Church’ are studied this
week. Concerning the 'first of these
baptism, different branches of, the
Church have''’-differed for - centuries, as to some details^pf ^he rite, but.
there are outstanding, pt^anings facts on which all ag^e because
these are so apparent fronTthe.Sei *
tures here* undei* study, -
The ■forerunner of Christ, John
Baptist, called upon men to rep
and be baptized with water,
read that men "were baptized
him in Jordan, confessing their si
(Matt. 3:6.) John himself sps
a revealing word as to baptism
two aspects, when he said; "I ind-
baptize you with water unto rep
tance; but He that cometh after
is mightier than I ... He shall b
tize you with the Holy Ghost” (M;
3:11.) Here we have water baptL
and Holy Spirit baptism, obvioi;
not the same, although one symb*
izes the other.
Then came the sinless Son of G
to John to be baptized. Why? John
himself .asked that question 4as he
shrank back from baptising Christ.
The Lord replied: “Thus it beeoihe-
th us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Christ came to fulfil the whole law;
He indentified Himself with Isreal,
and with sinners, and with all man
kind. A well-kpown commentator
has said: “Jesus sought baptism
partly to express His sympathy with
John’s work, partly to dedicate Him
self to His own work, and partly to
express His assumption of the sins
of men.”
As Christian baptism of the sin
ner accepting Christ as Saviour sym
bolizes the baptism by the Holy
Spirit, so as our Lord was baptized,
“the heavens were opened unto Him,
and He saw the Spirit of God des
cending like a dove and lighting up
on Him; and, io, a voice from heav
en, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom T am well pleased.” In
this passage the Trinity of the God
head is plainly revealed; the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As the 'b’aptism of Christ marked
His entrance upon His earthly min
istry,, so the baptism of a believer
should mark the beginning of a life
of Christian service. While water
baptism is ah external form, it
Should never be an empty form, or
we utterly miss its precious and et
ernal meaning.
The divine commission to
Church to baptize is given in
Lord’s Great Commission to His
ciples, that they should go out
all the world and “teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost.” Only as the Church

Winnemucca brought things to a
head as Kildare had prophised,
"You two,” Buck said, addressing
Shorty and Gloomy, "are so strong
for excitement; suppose ypuo head
for town tonight and circle back af-
tei* it gets dark. Strike into the
hills west of here; Morrow, may have
his eye on us. Bump off a few of
Acklin’s cattle. Work east tomor
row night. That’ll throw them
off your trail. R’ll look like the
■Basques had a finger in it. Get to-
the north before morning. You’ll
find a lot bf places to hole-up in for
a day or two. Once you pass Hog
John’s, lay out as long as it seems
safe; three days if you can make it.
Beat it here then, quick as God’ll let
you, and pump all the lead you want
to as you come,”
Blaze and Melody saw them leave.
But night fell, and in the darkness
they swung back and up by the way
of the Kings river. .In twenty-four
hours word of the red trail they had
left reached the Bull’s Head,
and his riders combed the
leys and narrow canons,
dine’s men were safe in
heart of Acklin’s empire.
A guard was placed against a re-
. petition, of the slaughter. Guerrilla
warfare was something ■ Cash under
stood, A talk with Kildare revealed
that the foreman blamed the raid
on the Basques.
After two nights of quiet, Acklin
relaxed. He put the incident down,
for a sporadic attack, a sort of dy
ing blow, But the next night Gloomy
and Shorty dashed down from their
hiding place, leaving a gory track
to mark the way by which tihey.liad
come. Below the peak they turned
west, and threaded their way into
the valley of the Kings. There they
ate and slept. Twelve hours later
they were safe on Webster Creek.
Bodine could not repress his ela
tion as he waited for them. He and
Nez Perce had defied Esteban’s or
der and ridden to Paradise. They
•bad heard a great deal. By ten
o’clock they were back on the ranch.
Bodine could not sleep. He paced up
and down the path in front of the
house for more than an hour before
his two .men arrived. He greeted
them vociferously.
“Boys, we got ’em! The Basques
found a' notice nailed on the door of
the wool-house in Paradise about 8
o’clock this evening. Some of Ack
lin’s men put it there. It says if
any more Double A steers are found
shot 'there’ll be reprisals; they’ll hit
back. You must ’a’ got a bunch of
them. The Basques are askin’ each
other who killed this bunch of the
Double A cattle. Every man-jack of
them suspects his neighbor and is
tickled silly. Anything to get Ack
lin. You boys turn in. The rest of
us will tend to this job for tonight.”
“What’s on now?;” Gloomy inquir
ed. f* “He won’t have any‘cattlq, left
if We^keep this up.”
“That’s ended,” Buck began to
smile again. "That warehouse is
owned bn: shares by the Basques.
Every one of them are interested in
it. Thirty or so have this year’s
clipping therS right now. We’re go
ng to touch it off. That’ll hit every
one of them in the well-known pock
etbook.’’ ’
Nez Perce laugn&d/* He’s poppin’
round on one. leg now-, those Basque.
When we get done, he won’t have
no place to put even heem.”
An. 'hour from the time the half
breed had emptied a bottle»of kero
sine over some refuse and lighted it,
the big wooden building was in ruins
A spin* of the Santa Rosa separat
ed paradise Valley from the country
that sloped for Quinn River. Old
man Liotard, an octagenarian, graz
ed his sheep in its draws and on the
flat mesa that skirted the rim of the
valley opposite the Timbered Buttes.
Liotard occupied a shack that
stood where the mesa came to a neck
in front of the' granite outcroppings
that rose to high peaks.
The mesa and the tiny valleys be
yond were only accessible, by means
of ths narrow bit of land. The old
man could look across the chasm
that separated his aery from the
buttes, but the getting there was
quite a different matter. It was a
sheer fall of eight hundred feet from
the eastern rim bf the mesa to Bo
dine’s ranch below. Above the shack
there were large pockets in the rocks
in which the snow water stored it
self. It Was a sheepman’s paradise.
Bodine knew that men like Lio
tard were looked up to as the heads
of their clans* They Were uncle,
cousin, or grandfather to countless
numbers \of the Basques in the val
ley. Marriage tripled and quadrup

When the animals settled to graz

found them headed back to the high
er ground. There were close to a
thousand head in the herd; fine big
merinos. Blaze laughed as he watch

■him as he saw two horsemen dash
around the cabin to the centre of
the herd.’ The sheep were in a panic
