Donald and Mary Cameron are carv- ing a home out of the Australian wilds, When little David;was four months old his father set; off to Port Southern, for fresh ' supplies; On the fourth day two gaunt and ragged men; one of them wounded, entered the hut. Mary offered them unstinted hospitality and heard the story of their escape from the Island prison and the treachery of McNab who had promised to befriend them—at a price. Clothed and provided with food, they departed, the tall one hoping to repay the debt. Mary refused to aid her husband in putting the police on their track. Ten years of industry have brought pros- perity to the Camerons. While mak- ing a tour of the neighborhood ad- vocating the establishment of a school, Mary meets again one of the refugees of long ago. CHAPTER VIII.—(Cont'd.)

Now asp the words kept repeating themselves ini my musings .I knew that there were! "invisible barriers"' that had kept the; Saviour out just,as that which seethed' to be an opening to the bird had been closed by invisible glass. I remembered the thoughts of my mind and knew that the Saviour could not come in to share them with me. I thought of the pictures hung on tale walls of memory and knew that He' could not walk with me' through that gallery.
