"I can swear to one thing, and that is that we have not been shadowed during the last two days. We have never gone out with- out keeping a sharp watch, and no one could have escaped our notice." "You have always kept together, I presinne?" "Except yesterday afternoon. I usually give up one day to pure amusement when I come to town, so I spent it at the Museum of the Col- lege of Surgeons." • "And I went to look at the folk in the park," said Baskerville.

Some great misfortune will befall you if you do. Did you get your other beet?" "No, sir, it is gone for ever." "Indeed. That is very interesting.

"Bear in mind, Sir Henry, one of the phrases in that queer old legend which Dr. Mortimer has read to us, and avoid the moor in taose laours of darkness when the powers of evil are exalted." I looked back at the platform when we aad left it far behind, and saw the tall austere figure of Holmes stand- ing motionless and gazing after us. The journey was a swift and pleas- ant one, and I spent it in making the more intimate acquaintance of my two companions and in plying with Dr. Mbrtimer's spaniel. In a very feW hours the brown earth had become ruddy, the brick had changed to gran- ite, and red cows grazed in well - hedged fields where the lush grasses and more luxuriant vegrastion spoke of a richer, if a dame- climate. Young Baskerville stared esee-nr out • of the window, and cried aloe ' esith delight as b epcognized familiar features of tie Devon scenery.

Baskerville sat for a long time,, his eyes 'fixed upon it, and I read' upon his eager face how much It meant to him, this first sight of that strange spot where the men of his blood had held sway so long and left; taeir mark . se deep.. _ There he set, 1 with his tweed suit and his Americee Went, in the corner of a prosaic ran- aray-eaeriage, and yet as I looked at tie dark and expressive face I felt ate/re than ever how true a descena- ent he was of that long nee of laigle 'blooded, fiery, and masterful meta There were peide, valour, and strength In his thick brows, his sensitive nos- trils, and his large hazel eyes. If on that forbirldinegemoor a difficult and dengerous queet should lie before us, this was at lest a comrade for whom one might venture to take a risk with the certainty that he would bravely share it. The train pulled up at a small way- side station and we all descended. Out- side, beyond the low, white fence, a wagonette with a pair of cobs was waiting. Our coming was evidently a great event, for stationmaster and porters clustered round us to carry out our luggage. It was a sweet, timple country spot, but I was surprised to Observe that by the gate there stood two soldierly men -in dark uniforms, who leanedupon their short rifles and glanced keenly at us as we passed. "ree coachman, a hard -faced gnarled little fellow,' saluted Sir Henry Basker- ville, and in a few minutes we were flying swiftly down. the broad, white road. Rolling pasture lands curved up- wards on either side of us, and old gabled houses peeped out from amid the thick green foliage, but behind the peacefel and sunlit country -side there rose ever, dark against tbe evening sky, the long, gloomy curve of the nioor, broken by the jagged and sinis- ter hi/ls. The. wagonette swung round into a side road, , and we curved upwarde through deep lanes worn by centuries of wheels, high banks on either side, heavy with dripping moss and fleshy hart's -tongue ferns. Brouzing bracken and mottled bramble gleamed In the light of the sinking) sun. Still steadily rising, we passed over a narrow granite bridge, and skirted a noisy stream which gushed swiftly down, foaming and roaring amid the grey boulelere. Both road and stream wound up through a valley dense with scrub oak and fir. At every turning Basker- ville gave an exclamation of delight, looking eagerly about him and ask- ing countless questions. To his eyes all seemed beautiful, but to me a tinge of melancholy lay upou the countySide, Which bore so clearly the mark of the waning year. YellOW leaves car- peted the lanes and fluttered doWn upon us as we passed. The rattle of Our wheels died away as we drove through drifts of rotting vegetation-- ead gifts, as it seemed to me, for lea- ture to throw before the carriage of the returning heir of the Baskervilles.

Even Baskerville fell silent and pulled 1110 oeeacoat more elogely around him. We had left the fertile country be - hied and beneath us. We looked back on it now, the Slanting rays of a low sun turning the streams to threads of gold and glowing on the red earth new turned by the plough and the broad tangle of the woodlands. The road in frorit of us grew bleaker and. wilder over huge russet and olive slopes, sprinkled with giant boulders. Now and then we passed a moorland cottage, walled and roofed with stone, with no creeper to break its harsh out- line. Suddenly we looked down Into a cup -like depression, patehed with stunted oaks and firs which had been twisted and bent by the fury of years of storm. Two high, narrow towers rose over the trees. The driver pointed with his whip. "Baskerville Hall," said he. Its master had risen and was staring with flushed cheeks and shining eyes. te few minutes later we had reach the lodge gates, a maze of fantastic trac- ery In wrought iron, with weather -bit- ten pillars on either side, blotch- ed with lichens, and surmounted by the boars' heads of the Bas- kervilles. The lodge was a ruin of black granite and bared ribs oe rafters, but facing it was a new building, half constructed, tae first fruit of Sir Charles's South African gold. Through the gateway we passed in- to the avenue, vebere the wheels were again hushed amid the leaves, and the old trees shot their branches in a som- bre tunnel over our head. Baskerville shuddered as he looked up tbe long, dark drive to where the house glim- mered like a ghost at the farther end. "Was it here?" he asked, in a low voice. "No, no, the Yew Alley is on the ether side." Le 0 son Ill. First Quarter For Jan, 15, 1911. THE. iNTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Hie prayer in chapter xiv, 11, has often helped me: "Lord, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many or with them that have no power. Help us, 0 Lord our God, for we rest on „Thee, and in Thy name we go." Yet in the thirty-sixth year of his reign he was led into making a league with the ldng of Syria, and, being re- proved for it by the 'Lord through His • servant Hanani, he became so angry that be put the prophet in prison. He seems never to have got over tbis re- proof of the Lord; for when, three years later, he became diseazal in his • feet he did not seek the Lord in his affliction. All the Lord's dealings with His peo- ple are intended to bring them nearer to Himself, but to this day many be- come so offended by what He does or does not do that they tarn away from Him and lose all fellowship with Him. Some of my friends know something of the preciousness to my soul of these words of the Lord through His serv- ant Hanalei, "The eyes of dee Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose hearts are per- fect toward Him" (chapter xvi, 9). We need such a word as this so much, for the devil is always goittg* to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in It. As a roaring lion he walketh about, seeking whom be may devour (Job 1, 7; 11, 2; I Pet 'seek Early in the in of Ase..the Spirit of God spoke, to him through Azarlana the son of Celed, in the words of verses 2 to 7 of our lesson, referring to the years 'past when the people had been Out of fellowship with God, but when- ever they in their trouble sought Him He was, lways found of them. tench. L of the essage takes us back to the days of the judges. By the Lord's gracious dealings with His people in the past, notwithstanding all their sin He encouraged Asa with the words, "Be ye strong, therefore, and let not your bands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded" (verse 7). His ex- hortation to us still and always is, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" (Eph. vi, 10). See also Isa. xl, 28-31; xlv, 24; josh. i, 6, 18; Hag - 11, 4, and note by contrast lIzziah, who was marvelously helped till he was strong, but then his heart was lifted up to his own destruction (chapter xxvi, 15, 16). The danger is our own strength or self confidence, for it is only when we are weak that we are really strong (II Cor. xii, 9, 10). Isa. nil, 13, is a grand word for weak hands, and, as to works, how full of encour- agement is I Cor. xv, 58! Rev. men, 12; Luke xiv, 14, are two of the best on rewards. The king, being greatly encouraged by this message from the Lord, began to purge the land of idolatry. even de- stroying the idol of his grandmother (1 Kings xv, 12, 13), and to restore the worship of the true God. The people fell to •him in abundance out of Israel When they saw that the Lord his God • was with him (verse 9). They sacri- ficed unto the Lord and sought Him -with their whole desire and entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul (verses 11-15).

The avenue opened into a broad ex- panse of turf, and the house lay before us. In the fading light I could see that the centre was a heavy block of build- ing from which a porch projected. The whole front was draped in ivy, with a patch clipped bare here and there where a window or a coat -of -arras broke through the dark veil. From tlee entral block rose the twin towers, aneient, crenelated, and pierced with many loopholes. To right and left of the turrets were more modern wings of black granite. A dull light shone through heavy mullioned windowe, and from the high chimneys which rose from the steep, high -angled roof there sprang a single black column of smoke. "Welcome, Sir Henry! Weloonle, to Baskerville Hall!" A tat man had stepped from the shadow of the porch to open the door of the Wagonette. The figure of a woman was silhouetted against the yel- low light of the hall. She came out and helped the man to hand down our bags. "You don't mind my driving straight home, Sir Henry?" said Dr. Mortimer. "My wife is expecting me." "Surely you will stay and have same dinner?"
