stantly attracted my attention was the
fact that his hands were evidently
tied, behind his back. If this was tree
then he was a prisoner, and the other
had beenstationed there to guard hire,
and not the horses. Tom perceived
this as soon as I, for I felt his fingers
grip my arm.
"Creep around the edge of the rock*

bring you at his back, and not more
than five feet, away. Can youdo it?"
He nodded grimly. '
"Leave your: weapons here," I added,
"and when you spring, get hold of his

Ile unbuckled his belt, and crept
along to the right, 80 noiselessly that
even I, watching his snake -like move
ment, could' hear` no sound. The
guard did not move his head, and the
other remained motionless, his face
bent almost to his knees. Down be
low the horses stamped restlessly,
'and switched their tails. Watching
each motion like a hawk, I saw Tom
dip over the crest, and worm his Way

ealizing he was ready, I got to my knees,
gripping a pistol butt. Without a
warning sound the dragoon leaped, his
arms gripping the astounded sentinel
with the hug of a bear. He gave ut-

barrel of my pistol was at his head.
"Not a: word!" I said sternly. "Un-
clasp his belt, Tom. Yes, take his

I wheeled to face the other, who

SEVERE BRONCHIAL COUGH
Doctors Feared Lung Trouble,
Restored to Health by Vinol.
The medical profession does notbe-
lieve,,that lung troubles aro inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to them.
Mrs. Hate Heckman, Springfield,
Ohio, says "A few years ago I was
in a very bad run-down. condition, and
the physician told me I had consump-
tion. I tried another physician, and
he told me I had ulcers on my right
lung. .I quit the physicians/ and
started on 'Vino(.' Today 1 am
perfectly healthy, and that is why I
recommend 'Vino('."
Vinol soothes and heals the inflam-
ed surfaces and allays the cough, -
Vinol creates an appetite, strengthens
the digestive organs and gives the
patient strength to throw, off in-
cipient pulmonary diseases.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding
nderstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

TRUE TO THE END.
And After Many Years Came Her
Tragic and Pathetio Reward.
A number of years ago .some miners
in Wales, in exploring an old disused
pit found tbe: body of a young man,
dressed in a fashion long out of date.
The peculiar, action of tbe air of the
mine was such as preserved the body
so perfectly that it appeared asleep
rather than dead -
The miners were puzzled et the cir-
cumstances. No one in the district bad
been missed within their remembrance,
and at last it was resolved to bring in
the oldest inhabitant, an old lady over
eighty years old,, who had lived single
in the village all her life. .
When she was taken- into the room
where the dead man lay a strange
thing occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse and kissed it and addressed
it by every term of endearment spoken
in a bygone generation. He was her
only love, and she bad waited for him
her long life She knew be 'had not
forsaken her.
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed sixty years before.- Her
lover bad disappeared mysteriously,
and she had kept her faith during the
long interval.
The miners removed the old lady to
her house, and that night berr.faittiful
spirit rejoined that of her long lost
lover. -London Telegraph.

-but, only for sinners.
In connection with the murmuring of
the Pharisees when our Lord culled
Matthew or Levi the publican, and
Levi made Him a feast in his own
house, at which n 'rent company of
publicans and others were present, our
Lord said: "They that are whole need
not physician, but they that are sick.
I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners, to repentance" (Luke v.31, 12t
On another occasion F1e said to the
chief priests and elders. "Verily 1 any
unto you that the publicnns'and the
harlots go into the kirfgdom of God be
fore you" (Matt. xxi, 23, 31). To this,
day there are churchgoers and church
members who, "being ignorant of
God's righteousuess and going about
to establish their own righteousness.
have not submitted themselves unto
the righteousness of God" (Rom. x, 3).
It is indeed a fearful thing to be sat.
!stied with oneself end have no convic-
,tion of sin. In the first part of our les-
son today the Pharisee did not pray to
God, did not ask God for anything. did
not seem to need anything, but prayed
with himself and told God what a good
man he was And how 'muck( good be
did and bow thankful he was that he
was not a bad man nor even like that
publican. Truly he was well satistied
with bis righteous self. The publican
had no goodness to prove his right -
collarless, nothing good to sny of him
self, but he did have a consciousness
of his own sinfuingss, and from his
betat he said, ttGod be merciful to me.
a sinner." In the margin of the re-
vised version it is, "God be propitiated
to me, the sinner." Weyinoutt't has it,
"O God, be reconciled to me, sinner

of sinners, the only Judge of all men.
said that the publican went to his
home Justified.
I litre the definition of jtrstitientiou
which I lonrned in Sunday school when
I' was a boy, and, if I remember cor-
rectly, it read thus "Justification is an
