XVI Having learned or the old cabin years ago, Jane guesses where Mac had taken Sherwin and sought him there. "Is it true?' she asked. Ile told her he was innocent ot kiting his uncle. He took her in his arms. CHAPTER XVI Jim , ready for breakfast, found no one aboue. He shouted to Ah Ling. "Get me some coffcel 1 wonder where in mischief Jase is?" he added to himself, testily. 'Then his mind we,tt b; to yesterday and h, remembered her face; she had said little, but he knew her well. "Confou: d it," he thought soberly, she's got a fancy for that fellow I My fault, .00; I'd no busines.. to have a stranger about, a pian with- out credentials." He drank his coffee hastily and ate little. fanny Sewed, had spoken th. day :aefore of going away. Stenhart, s said, was well. Jim did not neat. to let her go. but she was hesitating he wanted Ler to marry hint out she w..uted to work two more years. "Ridiculous ideal" Jinn gowled; "I neec you more than these sick people"' She had not yet appeared and it angered him to fee that perhaps she did not want a tee -a -tete just now. He rose from the table, thrusting his hands into his pockets,. and walked to and fro in the ha:. He began to be more and mor. puzzled by his sister's absence. "She went on h .rseback—long while ago." Teresa told him. Jim though of the rustlers. "Where'. Mi.c?" tie shot the question at Jose, who had come in from the stables with a message. "Gone down to th' corrals, Mees ter Keller." "Did you see Miss Jane go?" "Si, ::enc,." Jose relapsed into his native tongue. "You saddled fot her, 1 sup. pose. Hadn't you , ense enough to tell Mac? Jot -lar. somewhere about!" ":lfeester Stenhar' go aftet her." * * * Jim stared. That Stenha.t was elle to rid,' at all surprised him, but it was a relief to have him with J.•ne. Lately, Jim ha.: felt that the g:rl was n]aying fast and louse with his f.it:nd. She would never m;•rry Max, he thought. But this news was reassuring; if Jane—a daredevi: rider — ,could slow her pace to suit a half sick man, she must be gi id of his company. Jim walked out on the veranda and looked towards the bridge; she might he •oming ;io ,le by now. The sunshine was wonderful; it dazzled 'tiro for a nniment; then he saw Stenhart coming across the bridge, urging his horse. He was alone! Jim w'nt half way down the slope to meet him. "Hello, Ma. " he shouted enx• iously, "where's Jane?" Stenhart made no reply. he swung himself down from the saddle, looking haggard. "Come into the house,"lie said thickly; too many Hien about out here!" Jim whitened; lie had a strange foreboding. Withou a word he turned with ,'tenhart toward the ht use, and once he had to steady the man on his feet, he was so ex- hausted. They entered the dim old hall an.: Stenhart flung himself into a chair, gasping. Jim stood in front of him with a set face. * s: * "For God'. sake, speak out Maxl" he exclainit:i. What's up? Where's my sister?' Stenhart, getting his breath, an- swered with cold fury. "She's up tl-e mountainside with Sherwin." Jini drew a bard breath. He wa. furious, but be :ontr• l':d himself, sat down on the edt of his desk and looked attentively at Stenhart. It occurred to him that the man might be i. a fever from undue exertion and not responsible. "Will you kindly explain your- self?" he said gravely; "you're speaking of my sister." "I'm telling you nothing but the truth," StenhP.rt replied stubbornly "Site and ' had a quarrel this morning. She left nue to go ou Ott horseback, 1 followed—I had it in mind to overtake her, to try to make it up—you understand?' he stoppeo, biting his lips, and Jim made an impatient gesture of assert. "Go on I" he exclaimed. Stenhart did not look at him. He stared at the bright rectangle of the open, door .tilt. his fingers drummed c..: the arms of his chair. * * 0 "She w. t a long way ahead, rid- ing fast. 1 followed; she didn't know it. Presently she turned into a mountain tail and dismounted; I could see her threugl. the trees. I got down off my horse and fol- lowed; I thought to overtake her on foot more easily. The trail is difficult. It ascends more sharply. I found it hard climbinn and she got far ahead. Half way up I heard voices and stood still—I wasn't at, intentional eavesdropper." He drew a hard breath. "I saw them —Sherwin had met her!" Jirn stiffened. "Yon mean that my sister, going out alone, as she often does, chanced to meet this —this convict?" Stenhart lifted a gra} face, there was no doubt now of the misery in his eyes. "She loves him, Jim!" Jim struck his open hand on the desk. "That's an intolerable thing ft r even an old friend to say Max!" Max met his eyes steadily. "It's the truth, Jim!" And then he added click:ngly: "I knowl" The sheer passion of that cry, its defeat, its bitterness, carried conviction. For an .nstant Jitn, usually so even temperc , stared at him; then he sworr softly and scized the elephone-receiver. Stenhart snatche at his arm. "What a;. you going to do? * * * Jim shook hint off. "Get the sheriff after him; I know about where Cutler is—Hello! Yes?" he began began to talk into the re- ceiver. Stenhart, who felt really ill, turned and poured a glass of water. Ile had drined it when Jim fin- ishd telepl.oning. "Cutler left Manning's two ht urs ago, headed his way; he'll be here .,00n. I—Max, what are you going to do?" Stenhart was at the door; Jim saw that he walked stiffly. "Come back!" he exclaimed, "you're ill." .But Stenh..rt was climbh 1 into the saddle again; as he mounted he turned a white face towards Jim. "I'm going to meet the sheriff; he doesn't get away this timet" "Max— I s..y!" Jim wanted to direct this thing himself. Even in his rage he reunc.nbered Sherwin saving him that first night; but St"art was off at a gallop, sway- ing in the saddle. The thing was done! Jinn turned back, thinking grind. of Jane. If she really cared — he wondered what they would du with an es- caped convict in Rhode Island. As his rage cooled he thought of Jane; he =oust get her before the posse arrived. He heard Sten - hart's horse gallop across the bridge. (To be continued) Joy for Junin r Small fry are going to love this.

' Golden Text.—Think not I ant ccnie to ciectroy the Law or the Pr. phets: 1 am not conte to ae- stroy, but to fulfil.—Matthew 5:17,. The Basic Law. Every man's first duty is to love God, supremely„ with t•ll his affec- tion, intellect and strength. "These ords" which Moses commanded the children of Israel were God's words. God's word:: laid up in the heart will keep us ;row sin in our lives. The next thing to do with God's word is to teach it to others and especially to those for whom we are particulary responsible, our own children: we should not only teach it but we should teach it with diligence, earnestness and care. The most important part of a child': education is the education received in the home. The Rich Ruler The rich ruler who came to Christ was eager to :know the truth. He was humble and rever- e for he kneeled before Christ. I was utterly sincere for he had kept the Law outwardly. He had lived an honest and upright life, and none could accuse him of pub licly violating any of the Ter, Com- mandments. This youth loved his wealth for it brought him luxury and power. But he wants to be assured of eter- nal life. Christ puts hint to a sev- ere test, saying, there is but one thing to do, sacrifice all your earthly possessions for the sake of the poor and lay up treasure in Heaven. Test of Loyalty The young man was asiced to leave the old life of ease, luxury and power behind him and to take up the cross, the t•,'nibol of suffer- ing and sorrow, and follow Christ in tate path of self-sacrifice. The youth's cross would be vol- untary poverty; but it was too heavy for him to lift. He could not carry it bec:.use he was weighed down with his gold and riches. So he went away grieved, for be was hopeful that Christ would answer his question "what shall I do that I may inherit eter- nal life?" to his own satisfaction. He "went away grieved" and we feel that the heart of Christ was grieved also. LE TALKS..

In tests made last fall in Washington it harvested 250 pounds per hour against 100 pounds picked by the average hend. A special hose sucks the banes off the vines and conveys them into a rubber -lined container. A cleaning attachment draws off the weeds and dust. The buds are not disturbed. It will be nt cessary to adapt th,. machine to eastern bogs, where vines grow longer and berries cling tightly together. ll,y „ , 1CLES �� t ri,��" E `'� GIN G�' By Gwendoline P.

Just now a plane, flying low, zoomed its way westward It gives or,t a comfortable feeling to know it is on peaceful mission and nor on a practise flight for ultimate destruction. * * s: A cat -bird is calling poplar tree. A canal v, ably yellow, flits from shrub; a little .vren is very busy on the lawn, and somewhere around the corner a pair of cedar waxwings are chipping cheerfully. I have_ been watching the antics of those same waxwings for over . week. You see I ,tut the head of an o111. dust mop through the wash and to hasten the drying I put it on top of the chicken pen robf in the hot. sun The waxw•atgs thought that was the real McCoy. The tough fibre strings of the mop were just what Momma ordered to line her nest, and so they come back time after time, wings butter- ing as Pf to give them greater strength as they tug vigorously with their sharp beak: to pull the long threads loose from the mop: Front which you may gather the mop is still on the chicken pen roof. That's right—it is. It had practically outlived its usefulness anyway, and I ant certainly getting more satisfaction from watching the waxwings at work than 1 would ever find in pushing that same trop around the floors. * Now what else is there to see: Oh yes, there are some weeds over there that have got • Partner wor- ried. No, I don't mean chicory or thistles—we have got past worry- ing about them. The two weeds I refer to are "stink -weed" and mustard. Mustard i's• one weed we have never had very much of on this farm, and stinkweed not at all from the nnbeliev- shrub to until the last two years But we saw plenty of it out West—more to our s. crow—and the reason we are worried ;.bout h flow is because if much o: it gets into Ontario pasture fields and th• cows eat it, then it will taint the milk. Oui. West we sola crew„ all the time and more than once we had a can of cream rejected because of "stink -weed taint", So of course you can quite understand why Partner is disturbed at its some- what suchlen appearance here in Ontario. e The next thing i.. --how did rt get here? Well, of .a,t'rse we can't prove anything—but we snrpect :a lot. For this reason: the , nly place where we find stink A eed and mustard growing on ou, farm is where 1 scattered reed for the chickens the last tw•u years. And the grain f was feeding was West- ern wheat! The conclusion we ti rived at is obvious. In case you are interested—or alarmed — stinkweed has a sand) white cluster of bloss..ms very similar to that ot Shepherd's purse. The seed -pods are flat, almost heart -shape, a quarte to three• eighths of an inch across, and form during the month of June. I suppos. the weed has a iiotani cal name but we • ye; heard it. It was •ulv: ays "sonde.', eed" — a vulgar hut descriptio: name in- deed. Pun \7111 1?4,t„, .411,0 nu 4' The Si.
