PERRIN & COMPANY LIMITED LONDON - CANADA My Lady of . oubt "All right, sir. I'll fix the lad so he'll be safe enough for a 'while." CHAPTER XXX. We Attain the House. "Come on, Mortimer, and we'll soon find out what is going on." I turned to the prisoner. "Where are the rest of your gang?" "You'll find out fer yerself, mister," he answered sullenly, "an' maybe damn quick too." "They are in the grape arbor to 'the south of the house," broke in Eric. "That was where Fagin told them to lie quiet and wait orders." "Then we will explore along the north side, keeping the fence bettvreen us. I've got a handful of men over there in the orchard. If you are both ready we'll go." I took a look myself at Tom's rope - tying, and found it satisfactory. In- 1eed, in remembrance of my own suf- fering, I even leosaueii the strain a ittle, confident the fallow could never free himself unaided. Then the three of us, Mortimer armed with his late euard's gun, crawled up over the edge of the bank, ran without stopping across' the open space, and crouched in the shadow of the fence. It was still dark, although a faint gray tinged the eastern sky -line, barely perceptible through the intervr tng trees. The great house, a hummed yards away, was but a blurred outline, distinguish- able by the Iights shining out through open windows. At that distance no sound reached us. IIowever, if Mor- timer was right, the way would be clear for bur passage along the front, under shelter of the fence, even though a sentry was posted there, and we could creep up to the walls on the opposite side unobserved. All we needed to do was to advance with caution: Whispering directions into the ears of the others, I moved for - Ward slowly, Mortimer close to my shoulder. I could see across the top rail of the fence, and the open space :beyond yielded no point of conceal- ment. "Tell me the rest of your story," I said, speaking softly, "as we go along. Where did Fagin take you?" "To a sand cave; we rode a night and a day to get there" "Treat you all right?" "Well as he could, I suppose. I had enough to eat, but was guarded close- ly, and the fellows were a bit rough." "Did you gain no inkling of what they were up to?" "Not the men I'saw knew nothing, or pretended not to. I only saw Fagin twice. Once he came to assure him- whamidowisimmaihosaiewi ,ont Persecute Your Bowels Cut out cathartics and purgatives. .' Thy ars brutal—harsh—unnecessary, Try CARTER'S LITTLE .

Soiree - body told him I was with Delavan in a fight over near Lone Tree." "Thatwas your sister." "What! You don't mean it was Claire?" "But I do, I chanced to bo in that, affair myself, and saw her. Later she,, with' three others—Peter, an Indian, and an Irishman—captured me, mis- taking me for some one else, and took me to ,Elmhurst. As soon as she learned my identity she Acknowl- edged her error. But I have not learned yet why she was with Dela- van, or for whom she mistook me." ' The lad drew in hia breath sharp- ly, gripping, me by the shoulder.' "By the Lord Marry"!" be exclaimed .nacitedl"•y. "There isn't another girl in the Colonies who would have done it. I'll bet I', can explain, but even I didn't think She would ever have the nerve to perform such a deed. I told you I left my, papers there. I forgot them where I changed my clothes. You see I came out wearing the uniform of a British dragoon lieutenant, and had it all planned out to join Delavan, and guide him toward Philadelphia over the Lone Tree road. Just before I left. ourcamp at Valley Forge on this trip I received orders from 'Washington to keep my eyes open for a courier rid- ing from Philadelphia to New York. with Clinton's plans of. evacuation. Hamilton seemed to know all about and sent me special instructions. I talked of it with Claire, planned how I was going to waylay him, and to- gether we fixed up those servants as soldiers to help me carry out the de- ception." He paused, chuckling, and I halted,. eager to learn the rest. "And when you disappeared; when, perhaps, she beard' of your capture, or suspected it, she assumed the dis- carded uniform and went forth in your stead." "That's it, Lawrence. She would, if she thought it was right; if she be- lieved such an act necessary to save my reputation. I'll bet she found the papers in my pocket, and mistook you for Clinton's dispatch bearer." "There is no doubt of it," I said so- berly. "And that wasn't all she did to protect you. It was the talk at Lee's headquarters that you had de- serted. She stamped that a lie; by riding into our lines day before yes- terday, bringing an exact report of where Clinton was marching. I didn't see her, but I heard all about it, and you get the credit. Washington told me with his own lips, and granted her permission to remove your father, who was badly wounded, to Elmhurst" "Good God! Are they here now?" "They must have reached here early Yesterday morning. I passed them on the road at ten o'clock. Grant had just joined their party, claiming to be hunting after deserters." He clung to the fence rail, staring nut toward the house. "Grant! Do you know, I believe that fellow is at the bottom of this whole affair. He's in love with Claire, and—and he's working some scheme to gain power over her." • "Several schemes, I think," I re- turned heartily. "I've nipped two of them in the bud already. Someway, Mortimer, he got possession of those instructions you received from Wash- ington and Hamilton. I ran into him over there on the lawn, back of the ,summer -house. He was threatening Claire, trying to drive her into mar- rying him offhand. We had a bit of a •fight, and I got the best of it. When ,I left 1 wore his coat, and later found ,your papers in his pocket. Do you remember how they were addressed?" Ile shook his head, "Simply 'Mortimer.' It occurred to me he could turn them over to Clin- ton, accuse the colonel of treason, and share in the confiscation of this es- tate, or else hold them as a threat over your sister. I burned them." He was silent for a long minute; breathing hard; then he thrust out his hand and clasped mine. • "The damned villain!" he ejaculat- ed, his voice trembling. "Every move he has madehas been an attempt to ruin us. I can see it now. Do you suppose Claire really cares for the fellow?" - "I am very sure she does not" "Then what, in heaven's name, does she let him hang around for? I al- ways hated the sight of his black face and infernal grin, but somehow, I thought she rather liked hint. I won- der if ho can be there now! If he is, then he and Fagin are up to some dev- ilment" "And what that may be we'll never discover by talking here," I put in sternly, suddenly realizing we were wasting time. "Come, let's get around to the north side." We came in back of the summer- house, and had just left the road, when three horsemen galloped past, straight up to the front door, which stood wide open. The black shadow of a man appeared 'in the glow of light, shading his eyes as he looked. out into the darkness. "Is that you, Culver?" "Yes," sullenly, the ,speaker swing- ing down from the saddle. "Well, you've been a hell of a while -getting here. Fagin will skin you alive; it's nearly daylight already." "Did the best I could; the cantin' hypocrite wasn't at home; had to go clear to Medford after him. Come on now, get out o' that!" He dragged the center figure rough- ly from his horse, and hustled him up the, steps. "The of fool thinks we're goin' to kill him, I reckon; been prayin' for an hour past. Bill got, so mad he choked him twice, but it didn't do no good. Here; take film along in, will' yer, and let us hustle some grub." The man addressed grabbed the limp figure far from gently, and hustled hire through the door. As the Continued next week. 1DR. DeVAN'S FRENCH PILLS u ee8c: gelating Pill for Women.

Text of the Lesson, ,Mark K, 17-31. Memory Verses,'25.27 Golden Text, Luke xvi, 13-Cotnmentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our lessons for n111riy >w0e118 have been found only in f.ulte's gospel, but now we have nue recorded with nearly equal fullness f11 Matthevt, 111101 nod Luke. \Vuy the committee sh(luldotul'n to Mark instead of Luke I cannot tell, but we will. look at the harinouy of the three records. The preceding passage concerning the little children is :1180 found lu these three gospels, sure lit- tle more fully in Mark, for be tells us that Jesus was much displeased with His disciples and also that He took the children up in HIS arms and blessed them (Mark x, 14, 16),. Both Matthew and Mark say that He put His hands upon them. We shall not understand the lesson of today concerning the deb young ruler unless we get first that main thought concerning the children, if the number of tinrtts'thet an event is recorded gives nu idea of its impor- tance these two items concerning'the children and the young man must be of special importance and those recorded. in each of the four gospels of still greater importance. The other records of this' lesson are in Matt. xis, 11,30: Luke xviii, 18-30. Marls alone tells us that Jesus bad gone forth into the way and that the young man carne running. and kneeled to Him. As in the case of Zaccheus, he was certainly in earnest and had no thought of his dignity as u rich man, for he ran' and kneeled on the road. The next item is nearly the same to each record. "Good Master, what shall I do that I may Inherit eter- nal life?" as is also our Lord's reply: "Wily tallest thou Ile good? There is none good but one; that is God," If to this young man Jesus was (rod, tben lie should be willing to submit felly to Him. If He was not God Ile was not good and should not be so addressed. 111 who now profess to receive .,esus Christ as a good teacher, but will not believe that Ile is truly God, should side with the Pharisees and utterly re- ject Him for making himself equal with God (John v. 18; x. 1111. The young man's question reminds us of another under different circum- stances "What shall We do that we might work the words of God?'' (John vi, 23.1 Our Lord brought the young man face to face with the coniinaud- ments with the desire to convince him of sin, that He might bestow upon bim freely the eternal life which he seemed to be seeking so eagerly, but he did not see himself- as a sinner and thought that lie had kept all the commandments from his youth up. The heart of our Lord went out greatly to bine, and Mark says that "Jesus, beholding him, loved hit!" (verse 21). Because He lov- ed flim Ile sought still further to con- vince him of sin, a11c1 by asking him to sell all he had and give to the poor he would show hien that instead of keep- ing all the commandments he was con- tinually breaking the first one by thinking more of his earthly posses- sions than of God, who gave them to him, and that while he seemed to Want life eternal he reaIly wanted bis present possessions more than treasure in heaven and his present life in 0 mor- tal body was more to him than the life beyond. Only in Mark do we find that Jesus said to him, "Take up the cross." The cross means dying to self and wealth and all that comes between us and God, and he was not ready for it. It ivtis a hard proposition, but the Lord Jesus knew his man, for He knew all men, and it was the only way to deal frankly with this mu0. Not tetany congregations or minis- ters or sessions or committees would deal in this -way with a rich, moral young man today. Many would be only too glad to receive 111111 and be careful not to ask him too many questions for fear of offending him. Some would be glad to take hint in for the sake of his wealth and influence and ask him no -questions. But our Lord saw the value of his soul rather than 1111 else and never sought wealth or favor from any one. He came to give, not to receive, and the only way to obtaiu;eternal life is to come empty, helpless, believing, and receive the Lord Jesus, in whom alone is life, as the free gift of God to every truly: seeking soul (John 1, 12; i!1. 16; iv, 10; v, 24; vi. 47; Rom, ill, 24; vi, 25; I John ix, 11, 12). It is impos-, sible to obtaln it by works or wealth (Rom. iv, 5: Pe. xlix, 6, 71. it is next to impossible for a self righteous or wealthy person to obtain eternal life, for it is so difficult for such to see or realize the need' or empti- ness in reference to things eternal. Yet Zaccheus was a rich amt, and Saul of Tarsus was 11 self righteous elan, and both became truly saved.' "With God all things are possible." Peter now c01110s to thefrollt 1)y say- ing: "Behold, we have forsaken 1111 and followed Thee Whet shill we h11ve therefor?"

I,AHDLING TETE ©clli<HOBORS. B. C. Now Falls Heir To Troublesome Russian Immigrants. The invasion of the Kootenay dis- trict by a large colony of Doukho- bors about a year ago has caused the Provincial Government no little trou- ble. The reason is tbat the Doukho- bors refuse to recognize municipal or provincial authority, and taste their orders from their leader, Peter Vere - gin. The Government appointed a commission last spring to inquire into conditions in the Doukhobor settle- ment, and while an exhaustive report was made, it did little in changing the situation. Not very long ago, the • death of a woman in the colony brought matters to a head. The "Docks" buried her and made no re- port of her death. The Attorney-Gen- erai's Department ordered an inquest, but not one of the settlement would say a word- All professed the most profound ignorance of the English tongue- The inquest had to be aban- doned. The authorities rev'ognize that to put any of the band hi jail is sim- ply to convert them into heroes or martyrs, The Doukhobors ignore other sta- tutes such as the Noxious Weeds Act, the return of births, marriages and deaths, and generally profess an in- tention of going " just what they please. The property of the colony is held under the communal system. Hon. W. 2. Bowser; the Attorney -Gen- eral of British Columbia, in a recent speech in Toronto, discussed the mat- ter, and promised to bring down leg- islation at the present session of the Legislature which would teach the "Douks" a much needed lesson. Ile said he did not propose to make mat tyre of them, but at any infringe- ment of the statutes a liberal fine would be bestowed, and this would' be collected from the community, as a whole. If one fine was not enough, other heavier ones would be lmpos- ed. He believed this would make them change their attitude toward the majesty of the law. ' T'HE.

HIJ '+iANICS. New System Promises to Bring Much Happiness. Elfciency that professes to deal with the man instead of the machine is the newest attempt at general bet- terment of conditions in the indus- trial world. • It is proclaimed as a departure from the original efficiency methods inasmuch as it takes into account the individuality of the workers.' Efficiency -engineers of the ordin- ary school are expert in calculating curves, angles, cost units and pro- duction totals. They can look at a 30 -ton trip hammer and tell to a nicety what its output ought to be, how, much should be allowed for de- preciation and how soon it will be profitable to replace it. They can size up a locomotive and make a fairly accurate estimate of the num- bar of months . that abould eiapse before it goes to the scrap heap. It is elementary for them to figure the number of motions made by a steam shovel, the rate se which trolley cars ease a given point, the durability e2 a typewriter, the quality of paper that ought to be used in follow-up correspondence, the number of lead pencils which an office force needs every week and the life length of an ink eraser. • But, according to the exponents of the new school, there they stop. They can tell what a man ought to do with machinery, but they are un- able to say what machinery will do to the man. "So accustomed have they become to regarding the machine as possess- ing personality," said one of the ad- vocates of the new idea, "that they fall into the error of looking at per- sons as machines. Their efficiency may be effective, but it is a cut and dried, copper -riveted, bessermerizod, cold -chisel science utterly out of sympathy with the myriad manifes- tations of human nature. It is in the application of scientific improve- ment methods to the human factor in industrial progress that the uew efficiency system is luable," TORTURED WITH.
