Rossford nodded. "No ' help ' far it," he said briefly. She lighted a cigarette, and for some moments smoked in slience, "But can you bear to part with this?' Maggie demanded. "Don't rub it in, Maggiel" he en- treated. "The fact is, it doesn't bear thinking about; but there is no other way to raise the money I must have for those cottages. I have settled it and don't mean to go back on it. I will build myself a little place; per- haps near Tallack, Then I shall be on the spot to see that the' work is done properly." "And you wilt spend your life—" she began. "Delitnaging my own estate," 'Inter- posed Rossford. "That is about the 'size of it. I shall be my own agent, 1 shall have a few hundreds a year - an agent's screw, in fact." lie turned and looked at her. "Lots of men marry on less," he added, Maggie was silent for a moment be- fore she replied. "But have you counted the cost properly?" she asked. "You will cut yourself 'of front all your former in- terests, your own class, your friends." "Will you cut me, Maggie?" he ask- ed, and held out a hand eanross the bench. t. "Don't be silly) I'm talking of everything that has gone to make tep your life so "And I'm talking of all that is going to make it up in the future!" replied ,Your young nobleman with a laugh. Your hand on it, Maggie, that we shall always be friends)" , She put her hand in his, and his fingers closed over it. "To tell you the truth, don't think I could have done it if I had not been ,sure of you and Tallack," he replied 'gently. . see -ereeneeni Maggie's eyes had grown dreamy again; they were fixed on a long line of rocks where the waves were break- ing in showers of delicate white foam. Apparently she was unconscious of the fact that her companion still held ker hand. "What are you thinking of, Maggie?' he asked at length.; Maggie blushed and withdrew her hand hastily. • e' '•'&talf!' "I was thinking of a woman I knew in America who would love to buy Ross if you must sell It, " she answered.

"I should dislike a vulgar American /to have Rossi" "Ah, you don't know.aow deep my plan is i The woman," declared Mag- gie with an amused smile, "is young, and, they say pretty.

"You -you care so little that you would bind me to a rich woman for whom I would not care a straw! 1 thought you were my friend at least; that you . might t, care a little!" He Mopped as if he could no longer control his voice. Maggie had grown very pale, "You -you hurt met" she murmur- ed, "1 don't understand youl Most warren would mind, but you calmll suggest a course that would destroy our friendship at once.

If 1 am a poor man you may perhaps be persuaded to care more," said Ross - ford gently. "And now don't let us talk any more about Ross. 1 want to talk about you. 1 icnow so little bout your life. Why not tell me now? "Not now; 1 want to enjoy the gar- den and imagine that 1 am your grand; mother gathering roses for pot-pourri. I have never seen a garden that 1 lik- ed half so well. Let us imagine we are rich and plan what we should do here." . -114461n They wandered about like two ciiil- dren,- planning a flight of steps here, a gate there, a little bathing -house .at the end of the point, until at length Maggie declared that she must go home. She had important letters to write. Lord Rossford drove ket back to the place where they kad met that morning. I eel "I shall be tied by my aaat's plans for days,' ,he said ruefully as he bade her good-bye. "But rn get a- way some time, and want to bring the plans of the new cottages up to Tall- ack." Maggie turned when he was out of sight and ran up the hill to Tallack, bursting in on Peggy -Jan, who wko baking bread. "Quick, Peggy -Janet Call Mickyl He must ride to Dunagher with an importent telegram I want to send." "Sure ye can send yer telegram from Creavy?" said Peggy -Jane, look- ing up with a flushed face from the fire. "No; they gossip at Creavy. It is on business that 1 don't want Miss Whitehouse to hear of. He must go to Dunagher." Micky was called, and in less than , half an hour went off with Maggie's wire.

IAMB CHAPTER VII Several days after Maggie's visit to Ross the weather changed. Heavy clouds hung over the mountains and storms of rain swept over the land. BetWeen the showers glimpses of the Atlantic --gray and capped by white fOarn-could be seen from Tallacin then the rain would descend like a curtain and shut out everything be yoed the whitewesbed garden wall and the dripping fuchsia hedge, Maggie went about the house,sing- ing fitfully, helping Peggy -Jane or writing letters, but it was with an absent-minded cheerfulnesss, Often during the long days Peggy -Jane would find her sitting idle, With her hands on her lap, apparently lost In a happy dram.

Saul knew full wide that unless the movement pet on foot by Jesus was stopped it would supersede Judaism, bet he was 'entirely ignorant of the genius of Christianity,. Christianity thrives on persecution. Prosperity may ruin the church, but persecution never. The noble display ' of faith by Stephen in sealing his tesehuony with 1)18 blood did not soften &Mei spirit, hut rather intensified his leitired for ,loses and IDs disciples, It made him more determined than ever to stamp out this Nazarene heresy.- The In- tensity of his madness and the extent of its operations are best set forth in his own words (see Acts 22: 4 and Arts 20:1042), lie obtained authority from the chief priests' to tarry on this murderous work. 11.

The animal is prodded on with this instrument and if 11 Is re- frnctory it kicks against this sharp iron nnd Injures itself, This is a picture of Saul as he was madly fight- ing against Jesus, I. A light from heaven (vv. 8, 4a). Tile time had come for the Lord to interfere. Saul is stricken with blindness and 'falls to the earth. This physical demonstration accentuated -the workings of his conscience which doubtless were going on, quickened by the Holy Spirit as Ile used Ste- phen's testimony. 2. A voice from heaven (vv. 4b, 5). This was the Lord's voice calling Sant by name and asking, "Why persecutest thou me?" This moved Saul to In- quire; "Who art thou, Lord?" The answer came, "1 am Jesus whore thou persecutest," as if to say persecution Of the church. 1* persecution of Jesus. „S. "What wilt thou have me to dor' (v.43)). The dictator is now Nettling to be dictated to. The Lord told hint to go into the city where information would be given him ae to what lee must do. 4. Bind entering Damascus (vv. 7-9). The haughty persecutor goes quite humbly into Damascus led by his attendants. For the *pace of three days he remained in blindness and fasting. What went on in blot soul In thew days no mortal can know, but we may be assured that he, like the Lord he the wilderness, was too deep la tneolitation and prayer to de- sire food. Doubtless ha this time he got hold of the truths which he later proclaimed to the world; for his con- version was the basal fact of hie theology. • III. AIIRITIall Sent to Saul (vv, 10- 19a). Here appears upon the scene a hitherto unknown disciple. 1, Ananias' vision (vee 10-12). In this vision the Lord appeared and in- structed him to go to Saul. He gave him the name of the street and Saul's host, and informed him that Saul was now a praying man and that he had prepared Sani by the vision for the corning of Ananias. 2, Ananias', fear and hesitancy. (vv. 18-18). Lie knew of Saul's mission and the authority by which he came, The Lord encouraged 11110 to go, assuring hint that Saul is no longer an enemy, but a chosen vessel to bear HM name before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. S. Ananias' obedience (v, 17), Ills fears being removed, Ananias went to the house where Saul was staylne, pet his halide on him and Affection- ately addressed him as "brother." The savage persecutor is now a brother in Christ. He informed Saul that the Lord had sent him with a twofold miselong (1) "That thou megilhest receive thy sight.," (2) "13e filled with the Holy Spirit," Be received sight forthwith. It is not said as to whether he received the Holy Ghost then, but his life's work proves that he dtd, 1. Saul baptized (vv. 18, lha). After Saul received Ills sight Ananias bap- tized Mtn, ' God Gives Light and Strength, Give youselt to God's perfect love to week out His perfect will, Coe all He -mane you to do, Be will sure- ly give light and strength.

Linea Sale el Any Mediata in the World Thurscliti, Unlyi AN EVER-INCREASINO ARMY OF JUVENILE CRIMINALS From time to time attention has been Gelled in many ways to the ever increasing number of juvenile crimin- als in Canada, Some of the latest stat- istics afforded by the records of our Canadian punitive )nstitutions Muse trate this in a very startling manner, The Provincial Reformatory at hiurwaeh presents the following figures for 19. 19-205. 18 years and under , . 408 19 to 20 184 21 to 30 274 31 to 40 197 41 to 50 51 to 60 61 to 70 ,,, ,, . . .,.• 71 to 80 80 to 90 78 46 17 a It 'will be seen that one-fifth entire number are but eighteen years of age and under and that cansiderabiy more than one-third of the number are twenty years of age. For the var- ious penitentiaries of the Dominion, to which the more hardened, and, there- fore, older, prisoners are supposed to be' sent a similar showing is made: Under 20 years 335 20 to 30 775 30 to 40 434 40 to 50 251 50 to 60. 100 Over 60 years 36 1,931 These tiegures show that more than one-sixth of the more hardened crimin ala under confinement in the peniten- tiaries are under twenty years of age and that overt,100 out of 5931 crewel Is during the year ended March 3ist, 1920 were under thirty years of age. Commenting on these latter figures, Mr. W. P. Archibald the Dominion par- ole officer, says: 'The most alarmiegehing in our mid st to -day is not Bolshevism, nor the question of the high cost on living nor the social unrest,' nor what people term 'the economic crisis,' but it is found in the frighful, increasing and world-wide drift of youth especially when they leave their homes for the higher grades of education or when they throw their lot into the big com- mercial -world around us, The enorm- ous proportion that are soon ready to . cast off their religious teaching and home influence the very fundamentals of true and pure character, as a worn- out garment on their first contact with real life, is appalling, What has happ- ened to our homes? "If tangible results are to be ob- tained and our hopes for the future gen erations realized we must have better organization mere intelligent and syme pathetic efforts to transfuse the living principles of obedience and self-con- trol, only upon which we may safely build the superstructure of true man- hood and human endurance into the life and chgrcter of our youth in ord- er that 'Canada may be safe and sane in the coming years.
