The sweet morning air coming in through the window lift- ed the soft hair on her forehead; she was pale but her blue eyes shone. Something in his look and his -manner angered her. "I know why, Janet" ' e ex- dairned bitterly. "Pm sorry, Max, I must go — .1'11 see you again at breakfast" He caught her wrist violently. "You shan't go! You're in love with that fellow," "You've no right to say that to tel" Jane flashed at him angrily; then she remembered that he 'had been ill, and relented. 'It's all over, Max; can't we 1 friends?" He shook his head, folding his arms and standing there, motion- less. His expression was- sullen, but there Was a strange light in his dark eyes. "Oh, if you don't want to be friends!" Jane turned away proud= ly. "I'm going out now, Max!" She lifted her chin scornfully. He was behaving like a sulky boy, she thought; she liked to sec a man lose like a good sport. like — welt, like brave Mian! Stenhart said nothing at all, but she was aware of his tall figure mo- tionless there behind her. She felt his eves on her back, but she hur- ried away, ran down the slope to the stable and swum herself into the saddle. "I'll be back presently. Jose." said site lightly, giving Tex his head. The vacquero stool watching her ride off, a smile oh Isis dark face. "She some rider!" he thought. Tex had cleared the bridge al- most at a bound. The horse was full of pep today, ready to run, but Jane rode like a bay. The pian stood watching. shadi g his eyes with a hand burnt black by the sun. He was surprised at the way she went. So surprised that he jumped when a voice spot: sharply at his Oboist. "Saddle one of the horses, 1 want .one right off!" The vacquero stared. "You able to ride, Mecster Stenhar'?" "Get a stove on you! Saddle up, I've got to go with Miss Keller and she's way ahead n •1" Jose grinned, saddling a steady horse for this sick man, "He catch up with senorita, ch?" The grin widened into silent laughter. But he was amazed at the case with which Stenhart mounted; he did not know that sheer rage can carry even a sick roan far. * * e The flank of jealousy within Irina leaped up and tortured hint He saw nothing of the beauty of the day, the near hills green and brown, the distant blue peaks against the blue sky, -the shadows in the can- yons; the wooded spurs, the slopes of Las Palontas falling behind him. Presently his horse forded a wide stream. It ran swiftly, and it seemed to binhis ear caught the sound of a cataract somewhere in the ravine, then he saw -Jane so close ahead that he reined in vio- lently. His hors: plunged and he was near discovery. But, !sappily for him, the girl -took no thought of being followed; she had found an unused trail and turned into it. For an instant Stenhart thought he had lost her and is heart beat stormily, then he sighted her through the trees, He dismounted, hid Isis horse in the brush and fol- lowed on foot, Ten yards up the trail she had slipped from th sad- dle and vanished up a steep ascent. Passing Tex, where Ise was crop- ping grass, Stenhart crept after her, treading softly, and, as he climbed, the tumult of the . taract came nearer anti nearer it must be below him now, hidden by the - trees, Far up he caught a glint -se of a slender figure still ahead and he followed doggedly. H, * * Sherwin had slept heavily, phys- ically exhausted, and it was sunrise when he awoke. The solitude of the 'wooded height seemed drench- ed in peace. He sawonly great tree -trunks about hint, and the sun bad not yet penetrated their dense shade. Somewhere a bird sang sweetly. For a moment it seer -d impossible that he had fallen asleep with hatred in I is heart, but his first waking consciousness brought it all hack; he was to stay -here, hidden, until he killed Stcnhartl Nothing less would satisfy his thirst for vengeance, He opened his food pack and ale sparingly; there was a lovely spring close at hand, and he lacked for nothing. now. His meal finished he rose and began to explore the place; it was evident that Jordan had not returned. There was tie sound but those innumerable small noises of life in the woods, and the music of the cataract far below him. He moved on in p: ound lei- sure, and since he did not now in- tend flight he had ample time on his hands, * 1: Presently he came upon a rocky ledge and, as he climbed, his foot slipped, and he rolled down into some brambles and felt a strong current -of air. Only .slightly bruised from his fall, he rose to his knees and found that he had torn the brambles away from the open mouth of a cavern, The keen• breeze that came from it lifted the hair. on his forehead; there must be another opening somewhere. Curiosity made hint explore carefully. N6 one had known of this spot; it was webbed with cobwebs, chocked with roots, and he pushed them aside and entered, stooping. To his surprise, he found himself in a cavern of considerable size. Away from it ran a passageway through which the Wind blew keen- ly. He struck a match, found an old bit of wood on the floor, the broken root of some tree, and suc- ceeded in firing it. Carrying his improvised torch carefully, he ex- plored and found a twisting passage that led downward a long w•ay..He could not follow it to the end with- out more light; his torch was fail- ing him, and he recollected the candle in Mac's cabin. He turned barb at once. He had chanced on an ideal hiding place and he- must know it thoroughly, know, too, if Jordan had found the other opening. Emerging. he re- arranged the screen of brambles and made his way, more cautiously, toward the cabin. 'There was al- ways the possibility that Jordan or his pals might, return there. But it was vacant, and he had ample time to look for what he neededanost, candles and matches. He found only the one half -burnt candle and two matches, evidently tossedthere by the watcher after he had lighted his pipe. There was an old blanket, a remnant of Mac's camping — out there, and a coil of rope. Sherwin stood still, staring at that coil of rope; suddenly it had an intense significance it brought into Isis mind a full-fledged scheme of vengeance!

Clarke co umn I thought it might be a good idea to open the hatchway and let my little Chickens out for their first run.

But I didn't l...ow tiny chickens. It e:lly wadi t such a good idea—as I found out when I went back about half -an - hour later.

The result is lemon -col- oured yolks, which is what the graders demand in a Grade A. egg. If the yolk is dark yellow then it is classified as "heavy" ^'id put down as Grade 13. One wonders if, in our.desire for purity products, we are swinging too far the other ray. By trying .lways to improve on nature arc we defeating our own ends, cheating ourselves of the rudiments of healthful living?

They are neve: tired of picking at it—blit they are eating far less laying -mash. As a result we are nave getting eggs with almost or- ange colour yolks, eggs rich in vitamins and minerals, because. as everyone knows there is no better source for disease -resisting- qua,. ities than fresh green grass. The hens arc getting it, passing it along to the eggs, the people who cat the eggs will benefit. But we shall lose out because the rich dark -look- ing yolks will be put down as Grade B. c,gs. But Partner says, because he knows the grass is good fo • the hens, they'i . going to get it for a few weeks, anyway.

Christ's Farewell Feast This was :Christ's great farewell feastof love, the last intercourse with His disciples before His cap- ture, condemnation and death, This is the last Passover our Lord will eat on earth. He will not partake in any 'further festivities till He rejoices in the completed Kingdom. This bread which Christ took represented the offering up of -Iis broken body as an atonement for our -sins. He grve Himself, His whole acing, for our sins. It was the sacrifice of Himself. His blood was. about to be shed and there was but a short Irate before His great atoning work would be con- sumated on -Calvary and in His resurrection. Christ had revealed God's name to His disciples. They were God's not simply by 'creation, but His children because they had believed on His Son and received Hirai into their:. hearts :and lives, Jesus now turns from praying for Himself to praying for His immediate followers. Jesus had re- vealed to then the nature and character of God. This lay at the foundation of all tat Ile had done for them. While our Lord on ldis part had revealed God to. them, they on their part had kept God's word. Christ gave to His disciples not the results of His reasoning but words direct from God. We can not afford to make light of Christ's words or to doubt them, because they are God's words. Prayer Of Intercession The vision and faith of the Lord embraced the whole church to the end of time. We who believe to -day were in the mind of the Saviour in His great intercessory prayer. The prayer was for all who should in any age oclieve in Ilia' as their Saviour. Believers in the clays to come should become Ilis followers through the word of the apostles. Jesus' prayer for all believers was that they might all be one. He longed and prayed for the unity of. His disciples in all tines. This prayer has been largely answered. Beneath all seeming differences all true followers of Jesus are one. Through the unity o1 Christians the world was to be brought to be- lieve that God had sent Jesus. A. Church is an unanswerable argu- ment for the Christian faith. The Health Way Nutrition experts say that the value of vegetables is enhanced if they are cooked in their jackets, in very little water, with the lid on the saucepan. They are against peeling vegetables, claiming that this wastes not only food itself but takes away something font the food quality, too. Modern Etiquette By Roberta. Lee By Roberta Lee I.
