Kt DOMINION TIRE DEPOT KXETEU..................—...............Tolm A Clever Plot Liotard was hours getting to the valley with his story, dare had left for the Bull’s long before the old man went by. It was a grim twist of fate that sent the sheep-man to Bodine’s first with his tale of grief. Buck’s sense of humor was equal * to the occasion, however. “Wait till the folks down below hear about this,” the big fellow roared in ,a fine show of anger. “I’ll go with you right now.” Thus the two of them burst upon the quiet. Bad news travels fast, and ’their story was soon common property. Buck’s violent indighation arid' old Liotartf’s repeated, turning to him Tor confirmation of his loss began to have its effect on the Basques. Even Esteban met him without ’any show of hostility. A little thing in itself, but one from-which Buck took a great deal of comfort,"was the fact that Kent had gone back to Winnemucca. By evening the temper of the crowd in town was at white heat. An hour from now Bodine knew they would be cooling down. The abuse 'he had. heaped on Acklin; added to their own ’bitter: hatred of the man, brought the fellow’s plans to a cli max,, Jf he were to profit by them,’ he had to risk tossing the dice now. Benavides’ bar sur-He was in rounded by a small group that he held charmed with his yitriolic elo quence. To seemed concerned only "with them; but One-eyed Manuel and he had never for a second -relaxed their fur tive watch of each other. The bar tender moved away to serve new customers near the door. Bodine recognized Esteban among the men who had just come in. He walked over to where the boy was draining his glass. “Say, I hope you ain’t, tankin’ up at a time like this,” he began. “These folks are depending on you to do somethin’ for them?’ “I won’t be asking any advjce of you.” “And I won’t be givin’ any, either.’ Bodine was at his best. “I ain’t forgettin’ that you told me once you’d take care of Acklin by your self. Well, nothin’s ■.happened yet. You folks kill one of his cows, and he burns down your warehouse. You hit back and he drives your sheep over the cliffs. You’ll grow fat on that kind of stuff, won’t you?'” The murmur behind, hjs was en couragement to make ^uck go on. Bodine could . feel the curiosity aimusing in the boy. “But as I said', I ain’t givin’ ad vice where it ain’t. Wanted. I’m go ing home how. When i get to the cottonwoods by the bridge, I’ll wait: five minutes, if you want to hear what Bvo got to sky, yon meet me. . there.” “ • . It wasn’t necessary for Brick to look at his watch. He had barely arrived in the shade of the trees when he Saw Bsteban come out and got on his horse. “Make It quick,” the boy snapped when he drew rein beside him, “Weil, then,, ieVs forget this game of bushwhackingk I been doin’ a little scoutin’ on my own around the dam< from there fence his listeners Buck ’ve moved their cattle back into the hills, ’ Five men guard” the dam easier than twenty could ride that old line You know how the country narrows up there J” Esteban podded dine had told him not know himself, sjt motionless as Buck went on. “Lookin' round, I found a way to get by’these Double A waddies. Get into the Kings first; follow the creek ndrth, say five miles beyond where that little branch cuts in from the west. You'll see old Bengoa’s ranch, but l<eeP east of that, by-m by ypri’ll come to a little park of birches. It heads to the north in a little while. Disaster Peak will be rjght in front of you, When you get there, pick up a creek; any one; they’re all flowin’ to the Martin. Coal Creek is the nearest. It hain’t over five miles from there down to the head of the water Acklin’s back ed up. His lake’s near full already.” “And if we get there, then what?’ - “Thqre won’t be any if about it. We’jl get there. 0And when we do, we’lh blow his dam opt so pretty he'll.be the rest of his life squaring the damage, swits.” ‘ Blowing up the dam had occurr ed to the boy, too; but he had found how impossible it was to get near the wall. Bodine’s plan was still a closed book to the young Basque. “How are you going to get down to the wall from there?” he asked. “ You won’t be any bettex’ off than trying it from this end.” “Oh, yes, we will! We won’t even try to get near the wall, “gay —” Bodine’s voice dropped 'to a' whisper. “If I show you how, will you go through with thjs? I tell you we can’t lose.” “How do I know but you’ll leave me holding the bag?” Esteban de manded. <. “How do you know?” the big fellow repeated. “Why I aim to be right there with you when this thing’s pulled off. We’ll only want one more man; Romero'll do.” “Well, you can take me on faith, or forget it.” The boy was still cautious. “I won’t pass, my word until I know what I’m promising.” *^B11 5 go you on that.*’ ; Hodjine "was pot htandjng on ceremony. “You got the dynamite. Acklin would spot me afterward if I '’bought it. You hain’t got any on hand, have you?” “Six cases or so. My father was. getting ready to use it this fall,” Esteban answered after searching his companion’s face. “That’s great,” Buck shouted en thusiastically. “Iti’s more, than we need. I’ll build a bomb that’ll tear a hole in that wall bjg enough to put -an elephant sneak the powder, stuff we want, up the way I. said. We’ll make a raft—there’s lots of cedars up there—and put our little old mine on it. The wind drives d’own that canon every night. It don’t vary five minutes. All we’ll' have to do is push her off and she’ll hit the dam. I timed a log one night. I’ll fix the fuse so we’ll be sure, and just to make sure of it, we’ll cover the raft* over with oil. If it happens to d'rift down quicker than I figure, the fuse will set the damn thing afire and blow up tlib works anyhow.” Esteban’s' eyes were the only ans- I Buck was not on time. then/’ Esteban be at your Why not >sgo Like baptism, studied in week’s lesson, the observance of sabbath is understood differently by different branches of the Christian Church. ‘This lesson brings to gether what God’s Word says about the Sabbath and; the first day of the week. We must remember that the Word distinguishes the two days, and that there are fundamental dif- of the Lord'S of the people under healing h man in the synagogue the sabbath. Christ openly and pub licly rebuked them, »showing tho meaning of mercy, “wherefore it fe lawful to do well on the sabbatic days, termination of the Pharisees to Christ put of the way »by .taking H life. Let us be careful to remember tin the Lord Jesus Christ never brol? the law of God. “Think not that And this resulted in the de- £7 through. We’ll and the other ferences between the sabhath Old Testament law, and the Day, or first day of the week, New Testament, when God’s in the true Church are “not the law, but under grace.” (Romans 6:14.) The word sabbath first occurs in the Bible in Exodus 16:23, in con nection with the manna of which Is rael was commanded to gather a double portion on the sixth day, in order to rest on the seventh, “the holy sabbath unto the Lord.” But that, and' the sabbath commandment in the Decalogue, look back to the seventh day of the creation week' when “God ended His work which He had .made; and He rested on the sev enth day . . , And God blessed the Seventh day, and sanctified it.” There is the divine origin of the sab bath, therefore Israel was to “re member the sabbath day, to keep it holy.’’ All work, was to be limited to six days of the week, and the sev enth, hallowed by God, .was dedicat ed to rest. God’s books how _ _ righteous and severe God’s law ne cessarily is. Sabbath observance was an exacting and awe-inspiring obligation. A man who gathered sticks on thfe' sabbath day violated the law, and God commanded him to be put to death. (Num. 15:32-<3 6.) Yet, even under the law God per mitted and • directed certain work, such as that of the priests in the ta bernacle and temple, and works of necessity and mercy. When the dis ciples of the Lord Jesus Christ were- criticized for what the Pharisees thought was their lack of sabbath observance, the' Lord rebuked Pharisees out of Old Testament lory and law, showing “that on sabbath days the priests in temple profane the sabbath, and "blameless.” the amazing _________ place is One greater than the temple . • . For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” In other words, the Lord who ordained .the sabbath could guide and control in its observance righteously. The Pharisees’ blindness to the real meaning of God’s law was seen in their condemnation of Christ for Him in holiness and complete The further setting forth of law for Israel, in the earlier of the Old Testament, shows uncompromisingly holy and the his- the the are; Then He went on with statement: “That in this »,fc :o 1 am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am. not come to destroy* but to fulfil,” He warned (Matt, fr; 17.) Therefore, after He had live,ft a human lifetime of perfect obed ience to God’s law at every point and had fulfilled the requirement of the law that “the wages of sin is death’” by receiving the death-wages in. H1V“ own person and dying in the placo of the sinner, He had the right to authorize those who have accepted His sacrifice in their behalf, and who have received Him as Saviour" and Lord, to live differently undo.” grace from the day that was requir ed under law. The New Testament shows that, when the dispensation or age -of grace was ushered, in by Christ’# death and resurrection; His Church, evidently under God’s direction, passed from the observance of the seventh day to that of the first day of the week, on which Christ rose from the dead. His resurrection day, commemorated by Christians on the first day of every week, is a day of joy and privilege, not. (like the seventh or sabbath day) a day of ex acting and fear-inspiring law. It was on the actual resurrection day, ‘being the first day of the week* that the disciples, assembled to gether, were met by their risen Lor i as He “stood in the midst, and saith. unto them, Peace be unto you.” jMore than 25 years later we read of a remarkable address by tLio apostle Paul “upon the first day o£ the week, when the disciples came together to break bread,” evidently an established day of worship. And so the Holy 'Spirit, in New Testament Epistles, gives the Church of Christ liberty under grace which the Jew could not have in the observance of days 4-6L) The last book of the ____, __ great and. glorious Revelation .given, ■by the glorified Christ to the beloved .Apostle John was given while the apostle “was. in the Spirit of the Lord’s Day.” * It is significant and impOritaiit to note that, while all the other nine commandments, in one form or an other, are reiterated in the New Tes tament Epistles and enjoined upon- the Christian as duties under grace, the fourth or sabbath command ment alone is not thus found there. .Christians are to observe the day as unto the Lord, accepting it as & great privilege from Him as a time for’ worship, and. for fellowship wit.li fellow Christians in worship, and at the same time a day of Spirit-filled work and activity and service in His name. ... - under law (Rom. 15: Bible, the You can’t get near it the south.

As he sent My .Man toward the hacienda, he resolved to' try to tell the boy the truth, or at least part of it.: The sound of a crying child caught his ears as he rode by the open door of the barn. He stopped and called and Basilio came out, rubbing his face with his sleeve. “What's the matter, little chief?” he called Solicitously. “Esteban has gone to Uncle Pe ter’s,” the little tot sobbed, “and he wouldn’t let me go along. He would —would—wouldn’t take me.” "Don’t you mind,” Blaze consol ed him. “It’s a long, hdt ride, aiid Uncle Peter will just about be busy with the haying, so don’t you cry, little chief.
