CHAPTER IV.
"No," said Virginia. "I've for-
gotten."
"It doesn't matter," he said, "But
you can count on Steve Barron."
"I thought you hated and dis-
trusted him,"'Virginia told him.
"I respect some things in the
man," he replied, Then he swung
about and left her when Sgt. O'Hara
called out.
There were times when a woman
was useless—and worse, a hin-
drance. Virginia realized she was
a handicap to these men in this
gray, danger -filled dawn. She
moved to the tent opening, The
grayness outside lay thick among
the trees and brush and rocks that
walled the camp. The soldiers
squatted or lay behind their breast-
works, their carbines across the
wall's top. Jim Randall stood in the
center of the circle with 31,1 Scar-
lett and O'Hara. Across the way,
O'Grady was holding the bridle
reins of two horses—Jim's sorrel
and Steve Barron's black.
Virginia saw Steve Barron kneel-
ing behind the boulder a step from
her tent. He had a cigarette be-
tween his lips and a long -barreled
revolver in his hand.
For the space df perhaps two
minutes there was a terrific ten-
sion. Then Mel Scarlett made a
sign to Jim Randall. The ofticer'a
voice souded, low but clear.
"Steady meat Make every shot •
count!"

eting gunfire clapped like thun-
der. Gunflame spurted saffron -
bright streaks against the grayness,
Virginia heard the shrill screech of
a bullet. She saw dust puff up From
a dozen different points on the
ground. Shadowy figures darted be-
hind rock and tree. Then the troop-
ers' carbines 'crashed and blazed
and the din grew and beat against
the eardrums.
Jim Randall was down on one
knee, his revolver blazing. Scar-
lett and O'Hara lay flat in the dust,
their rifles working steadily. Steve
Barron was firing in an unhurried
calm. Across the camp, the roped
horses were milling in fright, and
the dust kicked up by their hoofs
drifted up in white clouds, Dust
and gunsmoke formed a thick haze.
o * *
A bullet shieked through the
tent, making a sharp spanging sound
as it drilled each side. Frightened,
Virginia found herself running into
the outside madness. She halted
in new terror at the blasts of guns.
Steven Barron saw her. He leaped
to her and seized her arnt and drew
her down behind the boulder. Hie
oalm was shaken, he stared at her
with alarmed eyes.
"Keep down, Virginia!" he shout-
ed.
It wasn't all right, couldn't be.
The crashing guns belied him. Vir-
ginia lifted her head and looked to-
ward the spot where she had last
seen Jim Randall. He was still
Shere, still kneeling, still firing and
reloading his gun. They were all
still there—and suddeely Virginia
knew and understood such men, and
. why they were hard and raw, like
the land.
* n A
Then abruptly there was a
change, and Virginia somehow
knew that the tide of battle had
turned and been decided all in an
instant. Jim Randall was on his
feet, amid wafting dust and gun -
smoke, and shouting orders. Sgt,
O'Hara was running forward in one
direction, Mel Scarlett in the other,
That was one instant. The next,
the troopers were leaping the wall,
charging into the brush which swat -
lowed theta. The sounds, voices and
guns, drew away farther and far-
ther. The camp was deserted except.
forVirginia and Steve Barron and
O'Grady, who still held the two
• horses—and two blue -clad figures
who lay in the dust unmoving.
Steve rose and helped Virginia to
her feet. His voice was urgent.
"Come! We can get away now—
to the horses!"
She hung back. "Nol No, Steve,
I'm staying. I'm seeing this out!'
He looked into her eyes. "Yes,"
he said, He broke his revolver,
kicked out the empty shells, and
refilled the cylinder with loads from
his belt. His eyes, all the while, re-
mained on her face,

ventative?
A. Blotting paper, saturated with
kerosene, and placed in the drawers
and ctosate where clothes are kept,
in a fine Wroth preventative, The
fur's can be treated by sprinkling
them with pepper, This doee not
love an unpleasant odor and can be
easily shaken out,

roding of the metal tops of salt
shakers?
A. By treating the inside of the
cover with melted paraffin, ' Open
the holes before the paraffin has set,
Q. How can I remove lead -pencil,
crayon, and other such marks from
the wall paper?
A. Try using an art eraser.
Q. How can I relieve the pain of
burning feet?
A. Prepare a foot bath of eater
as hot as can be borne, This will be
found a great relief, Baths of sand,
warm and moist are also good. Bury
the feet in this up to the ankles, and
allow to remain from 30 to 30

Q. How can I remove paint spot;

A. Moss on the lawn is a bad
sign. It indicates either a sour or
impoverished soil. For sour soil, ap-
ply some hydrated lime and for
impoverished soil, use a good qual-
ity fertiliser. Practically any soli,
however, is benefited by an appli-
cation of lime followed a week or
two later by fertilizer•. Do not ap-
ply both of these too close together.

"For Better Citizenship—Make Dad Your Pal"—Sunday, June 19th is Father's Day ---un
which day all Canada honours the head of the family. The theme "For Better Citizenship -4
Make Dad Your Pal" recognizes the fact that making friends with Father strengthens the
family ties and raises the moral tone of the nation, A well established tradition,in Canada, the
custom of giving over one day in the year to fat'," was lirst instituted by a Ministers Alliance
39 years ago. Now recognized world-wide, it is• the one day in the year the balance of the family
gets together and shows their appreciation for tile daily thought and stork a good Sadler does
in raising- a family in better citizenship.
UNDAY SCIIOOL
LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
Jesus' Continuing Ministry
Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:4-14
Golden Text:— Lo, I ani with you
always, even unto the end of the
world, Matt, 28:20b.
As our missionaries have been fly-
ing from the Interior of China to
Hong Kong, doubtless the first part
of to -day's lesson has been fre-
quently in mind. It was to these
words of Jesus that they clung
when they first answered the call
to leave home and conveniences and
go to China. "All power is given
unto pie in heaven and la earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all na-
tions —. Lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the age." The
present situation is a test of faith.
But then, so was the Boxer Upris-
ing in 1900 when about 200 mission-
aries and their children and thou-
sands of Chinese Christians ware
put to death. But the Christian
Movement in China, far from be-
ing overcome, received "the mighti-
est spiritual impetus up to that
time." The truth of the statement
of Jesus Christ, "I will build niy
Church and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it", was again
illustrated.
The most essential preparation
for a Christian • -fitness is the bap-
tism with the•Holy Ghost, He will
convence the world of sin, righteous-
ness and judgment but His dwell-
ing place is in the hearts set apart
for Hint. Peter, who cowed before
the accusation of a little girl, after
Pentecost is fearless before even
the enemies of Christ. God the Holy
Spirit has taken full possession of
Peter.
Jesus Christ will triumph over
all his foes. One day, — how soon
no one knows, — the words of the
angels will be fulfilled: "This sante
Jesus, which is taken up from you
into heaven, shalt so come in like
manner as ye have seen him go into
heaven." TM that day of His ap-
pearing we must labour, watch and
pray, Our Lord, is coming for His
own, To our missionaries and
their relatives in this trial we would
say, "The toils of the road will
seem nothing when we come to
the end of the way."
Modern Etiquette.

notes of thanks to all guests' who
