It is the idea that " Untl is omnipotent,"
This idea, hold in confidence, has made you

Jesus when speaking of sheep refers entirely
to ideas of God. It is itl00s of God which
if you shepherd well, will get you into that
state of (mrd called heaven, when you have
health, judgment, prosperity. Jeans Christ
was sere that His doctrine was the door,
and everybody else's the climbing in some
other way, They had all before Him prov-
ed themselves thieves and robbers. 'Why?
They had robbed neon and woolen of health,
judgment, and prosno(ity. Ninety years
before Him there had ridden through the
streets of Rome, Pompey, proclaimed con•
quoror of the whole world. Mae hundred
cities, 1.000 castles, 800118d ; long linos of
manacled captives, with heads hung low

broken hearts.
There w"s splendid triumph for Pompey,

down heads. :Not only that, but all over
the universe you might look for captivity
where His doctrine had been preached (or
His door (opened) and }an would not find
captivity itself for He had " sod eaptvity

Whoever has any bondego to anything
whatsoever, believes more in Pompey's
doctrine than in Jeers Christ's. For Pom•

He looked at me dtentively as if some-

"Tell mcall about it Campbell,"
he said,

"Let me hear your version of the affair."

just been exploring the tunnel ; in fact, I
have not yet had P„terseu's report. Ash-
ton and Fordyce, with one or two ,len,
seized and arrested us, anclgscoffed at my
explanations,"
Rankeilor looked grave,
" May I hear their account of it?" I asked
after a pause.
Yes. it seems that they discovered
this tunnel yesterday, and without explor-
ing it very thoroughly, suspected it might
load to the fort, and watched it, from that
time and all night, by turns. No
one approached it until the much -hour,
to -day, when they both—Ashton and
Fordyce—saw yon and your Ulan near the
entrance. Then, as they suppose, will a

yet to penetrate before reaching the fort,

wards the fort until within a few yards.

Before I could reply„a knock at the enol'

I had ended, he looked towards Ashton and
Fordyce.
' You found this tunnel yesterday after-

" We did, sir, and we watched all night

The chief mused for a moment, his stern

guard at the tunnel when you came to ale

Tho two officers looked r little foolish,
" We did not post a sentry there after
cliseovering the—tulllelo•s," said Ashton,
somewhat lamely. "It will be time enough
in the evening."

short decisive manner, " I do not see why

He left the room ; and I never saw dark•

and Fordyce on hearing the colonel's ulti-

Without speaking to any of them, I re•
turned to ny own room again followed by
Rankeilor, who in Lis friendliest manner
laid his hand on my shoulder,

took me by the arm, and we crossed again
into my room.
" Is it all square now, lad?" he asked,
with his winning smile, "And will you

say yen found it."
Rankeilor, I sincerely beg your p0rdon
for having suspected you!" I held out my

"It VMS natural," he said ; ' but I could

" And 1 could not," I said ruefully. " But,
Rankeilor, 11012- can you bemire 11(11 Ashton

"I'll tell you how," he answered readily.
"And if I am not mistaken, the chief guess-
es it as shrewdly as I clo. When they re-
ported the case, the colonel told them he
would see to it, in a half -careless sort of
fashion ; but 11e malted them to wait there,
in his house, until he performed at import-

dear fellow, I forgive you with all my

ly to suspect you of the least approach to
complicity in this—crime ! Give mo the
full credit I deserve," He laughed in his
quiet cordial way ; but I saw that he w0s a
little hurt too. ' And let's 'snake a com-
pact firm and sure' to help each other, and
these young fledglings in our corps to escape
from the snares of such fowlers as Ashton
and Fordyce, Shoal we?"
"I shall never play for money again while
five, ' I said firmly. " And I don't think I
can ever distrust you again, Rankeilor."
It was impossible for any one to guess
whether Colonel Pryor suspected anything
unusual in receiving the resignation of two
officers on the same day. He could )seep
hie 01211 counsel—nano better ! The tunnel

led on to the details of the system. The
necessity which enforces the use of wad
