Her fright of him returned, mix- ed with ,the madness of her regret. for what he was. She stole a glance at him, and met his: eye, with a look in it which seemed to say that he knew and rather relished her fear. The traek narrowed, he fell into step behind her, and almost at once she found herself ors the edge of a small stream, with a few stepping stones lying across its course, She hesitated., about to the take the first step over when she found herself lifted bodily off her feet. The abrup- tness of it was so startling to- her strained nerves, that she almost screamed, and could only cling to him shuddering, as he carried her across with three long strides. On the other side. he set her on her feet against a biz boulder, but withont letting go of her, and kissed her breathless lips, "No!" cried Lorna, gasping. "I will," he said. "I did once be- fore!" "Not"' she said again; but she did not turn her face aside. When he drew back, his face was 'suddenly white, and his eyes were dark with anger. "I suppose that's what. you wanting to marry Richards," said, He turned and strode away from her, on up the hillside, and she found herself looking at his retreating fig- ure, Her scattered wits collected theanselves in a storm of shame and rage. How could she have let him? How had she let that hateful attract- ion he had for her betray her so? And now he was going, going to his rendezous at Gulliver's Bay!

She turned to him as they walked. "And you?" she said, ohoking back her fury. ."What aro. you—a spy?" "A spy?" His voice was a' shout of scorn. "What then?" Her contempt eut. like a lash. "Merely a common thief?" But his eyes just flickered as he gazed at her, and he never turned a hair. Her feet flagged on the track, She almost forgot what she had come for in her impulse to run away to take the shattered damage. • She for- ced herself to go on beside him. So that was whathe thought tX her—had thought all this time! The worst was she felt its truth. That was what she had been all her life, if not in intention, in effect. She made a violent inner resolve to change; she would be different in future—if only to raise 'bereelf above the level of comment from such a person as he was! Oh, if she had only not been so weak, so vulgarly, madly, perverse as to yield an instant to his attraction fer her! Her breast heaved. She could har- dly see to walk. And she was going on into furthur trouble, some possibly dangerous, certainly sordid mystery! Suddenly he had stopped, She saw he was looking out to sea. It lay there on the left, across the rim of a hill beyond a stony valley which in- tervened. He was gazing at a ship, a mere pencil line of grey and a smudge of smoke, oat on the far blue edge of the horizon. He turned to her suddenly. He was alert, quite different, all personal feeling had fallen from him. He took her by the arm, and drew her quickly over the brow of the ridge on which they were walking, down out of sight of the sea and the ship again. "I think we're going house again pretty soon. But I'd like you to sit here for a minute or two." They were out of sight of the boat,. behind the tumbled boulders fallen from the cliff face. "But why? I'd like to—" "Doesn't matter what you'd like. Sit here behind this rock. Do as I say, please. Wait for me here, and if I don't come back in about five Minutes, go home!" "Wait for you here, and if you don't come back, go home?" she re- peated his words calmly, but with a vast inward dehision, Did he think she was quite iso stupid? Was that haw he had in- tended to get rid of her at the crucial moment? Had someone come in that boat to collect the information he had brought, and were they wait- ing for him somewhere along the shore. She looked innocently at his pre- occupied 'face,' "Very well," she said, meekly. He turned from her and walked;{rut on the shore again, turning south in the direction of the boat. She climb- ed on to the rocks so that she could see over the top of them. He strode quickly along the shingle, looking about him, glancing now behind, then at the cliffs above. A SHIP'S LIFEBOAT She waited until he was within thirty yards of the boat, then she scrambled ,off the rocks, ran after him as hard as she could go. He turned a startled face at the sound of her feet on the shingle. he "I might have known you'd do that!" was all he said, with a grim smile. He glanced to right and Left, and she could see that every nerve in him was tense. . Site looked eagerly at the boat as they came to it. It was paint- ed white, and it appeared to be a sitip'ssmator lifeboat. Suddenly Hawksford stooped and picked something up. He snatched it so quickly from the shingle and pushed it into his pocket, that she had no time to see what it was. "What was that?" she said, her eyes vivid with sucpicion. He didn't speak, he had moved sound and was looking at the bow of the boat. She looked too, and saw the name in black letters: "M.S. Yams Marie." Japaneset She flashed a glance to sea, the smudge of smoke was still there on the horizon. Was it a Jap- anese ship out there, and had this lifeboat conte from it? ' Hawksford was looking into the boat. Was he looking for message? What had he picked up on the shing- le? "Come!" he said to her abruptly, and took her arm as though to lead her away. "What was that you picked use?" Lorna said, summoning all her cour- age. "What is this Japanese boat doing here? I'm' not going until I know!" She was aware of the reckless seious of nothing but grim deter- danger of attacking him like this, ntination to see the thing through, tacit assumption that their quarrel alone and single-handed. and bring him to justice if she could. was forgotten made her quiver with Come along!"

"There are are Ships in the Pacific. Didn't you know?" He began to walk quickly along the slope of the hill towards the patch of bush ahead. She went with him, saying nothing; she did hot want to arouse any fur- ther suspicion that she knew what he had in mind, But his obvious inter- est in the ship made her speculate excitedly. Did he expect them to come by sea, whoever was coming to collect information?

Ts the lesson closely related to last Sunday's? Answer: Yes; for in this lesson too we learn that those who enter the feast of God's Kingdom are not those highly exalted in their own eyes, nor those who forget their need because of their privileges and possessions, but those Who are the most needy of. all (vv 21,23). 2. To whom, then, is to -day's par- able addressed/ Answer: To the Jews first, 'but .al- so to all of tis who, having received great privileges and possessions from God's hand, fasten upon these great- er things, and with shameful ingrat- itude turn a deaf ear to the Creator and Redeemer. Frem - such the. Kingdom of God is taken away and given to the Gentiles, to the outcasts, and to thed'espised (v 24; John 1:11; Matt 22;7-9. Luke 20:9-18, especially v 16)" 3. Is there a claim made upon us greater than farm or business, great- er than cattle or possessions, greater even than the members of our family (vv 18-20)? Answer: Yes indeed; the Word of God the Redeemer is greater than all the claims of His creation; and we cannot even honour our father and mother unless we do so in obedience to Firs Commandment (v 26: Ex: 20: 2, 12)" 4. What, then, does it mean to REAR God's invitation? Answer": It means to confess God the Redeemer as our LORD: so much so that we leave to Him the despos- ition of farm, and possessions, and family, even our life, acknowledge that we can have no will or power over these things — and this is the "cross" which we must bear, and the "cost" which we must count (vf 27, 28, 33). £all received a couple of years ago.

Bacon and Hogs On bacon and hogs, a report said the peoducer of swine in the County of Huron feels that in view of the present feed situation, the product- ion of bacon at the present price is. commercially impossible. "Be it therefore resolved that we ask the Dominion Government to fix the Dries of bacon to the Ontario produc- er et the level prevailing up to Oct- ober 30, 1940, under the bonus syst- em now in operation on various other articles leaving Canada." On organization, a committe re- commended that the agriculttual committee of the 1941 County Counc- il call one or two public meetings as soon as possible and form a Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Sale of Beans "In view of the fact that more food value is packed into one bushel of beans than into any other raw food commodity and in view of the fact that shipping ocean space is limited," a committee recommended that the Dominion Government attempt to se- cure an outlet for Canada's No 1 beans iu Britain at as early a date as possible. "We recommend that the Doniin ion Gov!1!rrunent enter negotiations with the U. S. Govetnunent with a view to having the duty on Canadian cattle entering that country, reduced to one cent per pound." It has been rumored that the one mill subsidy on assessment now paid. to municipalities by the Province of Ontario may be discontinued or law orad.
