farmer to sell his property. His

then sell for $6,000,
CHAPTER XXV
Thanks to Sheriff Lande, Gold
Creek, in Deep %Vater Valley, had
far outstripped cowtowns in any of
the bordering towns in being law-
abiding. No sensible outlaw ever
lingered there long. Here cash and
goods were safe, women respected,
and men quickly appraised and
treated according to assay, Yet
Gold Creek could be fooled!
In the Western Sun Saloon a mid-
dle-aged ratan in cowmen's clothes
leaned heavily against the bar. Tall
and thin, Pete Haskell, who held a
coveted place in the ranks of cow-
men of the neighborhood, had a
face browned by sun and storm. He
was a pioneer cattleman, a man who
had fought his way up from a small
beginning, and now was the unani-
mously selected guide and counsel-
or of practically every ranch owner
in the county.
Haskell was burning with anger.
"No Tim," he raid sourly, without
looking at the cowman beside him,
"I don't know whrt to do, The
devil of it is that all those tobacco
farmers have as much right here as
we have."
"But this has always been free
and open rattle range!" blasted Tim
Callan, another rancher. - "First

kell.

do as you see fit with it, without
consulting anybody but yourself.
But unless you do—"
Lande walked over and stood be -
tureen the two cowmen at the bar.
There were certain things he felt
he must say to them,
"You gents are scared over noth-
ing," he told the two ranchers now.
"I wouldn't howl, 'Wolf1' till there
was one in sight."
Haskell scowled heavily, "You've
been away from the range for three
years, Lande," he reminded, "Mean-
while, the wolf has moved in. Russ
Bartle has announced that he is
going to fence in more land for
tobacco farms in the rorth end of
Deep 'Water Valley) Our aid!"
The sheriff looked surprised.
Thea he shrugged.
* * *
'Well, it's not against the law
for him to sell land he owns —
and he does own some in the north
end."
"It ought to be against the law)"
Tim Callan exploded. "Wizen farm
fences can keep our beef from Deep
Water Rivet' till it runs through
Alkali Flats and is not fit for man
or beast. I've got half a notion to—"
"I know," cut in Lande. "Half a
notion to cut fences, fire buildings,
drive all those tobacco farmers out—
or kill 'eat off." He shook his gray
bead, and his hand sought Callan's
shoulder. ''Ve're old friends of a
long tine standing, Tim. That's
why I hope you never get more than
half a notion about such doings,
Fact is, I wills you wouldn't ever
mention them again. Because there's
a big chance, if you do, that some of
the things that already have been
done in the valley might be laid at
your door."
"I've told you before Lande, that
no cattleman had anything to do
with any of the fires or killings in
the valley!" Pete Haskell said hotly.
"We aimn to protect our interest
legal,
sabe? That's just what we've
done — and only that. So far."
"But —
"I don't blame any man fo: kick-
ing over the traces when bread and
butter is taken out of his mouth"
Haskell shot out. "I wouldn't ask
any man to sit twiddling his thumbs
while Bartle brings in more farmers
to squeeze ]mien out of house and
business!"
* * *
The sheriff scowled then. "You're)
advising anybody to keep his bread
and house with the help of a six-
gun and torch are you?"
"I'm not till I'm driven to it.
Meanwhile I've got another pair of
cards to play. Might as well be done
now." As Haskell turned from the
bar he read tine questions in Laude's
eyes. "Jim going to see Russ
Bartle," Ise said, "Maybe I can get
him to meet us cowmen halfway."
'And if he won't?" asked Lande.
Haskell did not answer. Ile walk-
ed out of the saloon and down the
dark, deserted street like a man
bent on a dreaded errand he knows
is useless — and still must make an
effort toward its success.
A light glowed in a window of
the bank where Russ Bartle did his
business when he was in town,
Haskell knocked and a man's
shadow appeared behind the glass -
panelled door. Haskell heard time
aping bolt slide back. He' went in,
ignoring the man who had opened
for him, and headed straight up
the bank stairs for Bartle's office,
well knowing that he was not wel'
conte•
Bartle went with him and sat
down at his desk in one corner of
the room. The sharp-eyed, fifty-
year -old man who was turning gray
at the temples looked himself now,
No longer was he the benevolent
friend; this time he was facing a
bitter enemy -- and he knew it,
"Yes, Haskell?" he said at once.
"What's on your mind?"
"rhe fact that what you're going
to do in Deep 'Water Valley will
bust every cattleman in these
parts." Ffaskd!' eyes bored

drummed on the ledger with inmpati-

"I know, You know." Haskell
lunched forward in his chair and

Bartle frowned. "I'm not afraid of
your threats, Let your cattlemen
do what they like. But I'll tell you
this — for every tobacco man you
beefinen drive out, or kill off, I'll
bring two more in!" A clucking
sound issued from his throat, "Your

He glared at Haskell "But it did-

"Will you sell us the north end of

"Every inch north of Doe Attero's

Figures flashed through Bartle's
quick brain. Then his mouth opened.

And so, to ease the suffering of
some 350 million destitute children
in Europe and the Far East, the
"Canadian Appeal for Children"
being launched in February, is Cana
ada's answer to an effort on the part
of ail the United Nations to come
to the rescue.
This financial drive is sponsored
jointly by the Canadian Council for
Reconstruction through UNESCO
and the National Council of the
United Nations Appeal for Child-
ren,
"During the occupation of Czech-
oslovakia, 1,055 school teachers from
all parts of the country were
executed or tortured to death," et
is pointed out by Major Vincent
Price, K.C., co-chairman of the
Canadian Appeal for Childress.
"In three small dark rooms on
the ground floor of an almost total-
ly destroyed building in Warsaw,
500 children now receive instrucs
tion distributed over 12 hours of
work in eight classes," Major Price
continued. "Lack of heat and edu-
cational equipment make it almost
unbearable for the few teachers
who still live to carry on their
work,
"It is impossible to exaggerate
the educational losses in Greece,"
be said. "Most of the schools there
are either totally destroyed or there
shells with all equipment burned."
Objective of the Canadian Ap-
peal for Children is set at $10 mil-
lion dollars to be collected by vol-
untary donations made at the
branch of any chartered bank in
Canada,
Inn all countries of the United
Nations, key note of the appeal is
— one day's pay for the world's
children, Being Leap Year, Febru-
ary has an extra day and it is this
one day's extra pay that will make
possible the financial wherewithal
to buy in Canada food, clothing

suffering generation.

By Rev. R, Barclay Warren
What We Know About Jesus:
His Work and Salvation
Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 1:21; 5:17;
20:2628; Hebrews 4:15.16
Golden Text—For the Son of Man
is conte to seelc and to save that
which was lost—Luke 19:10.
The five snort passages of next
Sunday's lesson tell us much
concerning the work and salvation
of Jesus,
Many facts relating to Jesus
were set forth by prophets prior
to His coming. About. 700 B.C.
Isaiah told the story of the suffer-
ings of the coming Messiah. Isaiah
saw human need, "Alt we, like
sheep, have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way."
He saw also that the Messiah by
his sufferings and death would bear
the penalty for our silts, "The
Lord hath laid on hint the in-
iquity of us all" "By Isis stripes
we are healed," How this pretties
tion could be made can only be
cxplaiued by the fact as set forth
in 2 Pct, 1:21; "For the prophecy
came net in old time by the will
of than: but holy men of God spalce
as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost."
* * e
The angel of the Lord revealed
to Joseph, who was to be the
foster -father of the Messiah, that
the child should be called "Jesus:"
"For He sit -ll sate His people
front their sins." "Jesus" comes
from the Greek word to "save."
Evert his name indicated his mis-
sion,o
Tmany of the religious formaI-
ists of his day, Jesus appeared as
a revolutionary, Bttt he was not
the enemy of previously revealed
truth. Early in his ministry he an-
nounced, "Think not that I am
c.• me to destroy the late, or the
prophets: I am not come to des-
troy, but to fulfill." We have al-
ready noted how Jesus fulfilled a
prophecy of Isaiah. So it was

egg into the soup, and when it
curdles, remove it. This will take
away any impurity that is in the
soup.

of peroxide of hydrogen diluted
with one-half water will be help-
ful.
Q, ]iow can I remove fruit
stains, and also ink stains, from

Warning
The teacher was giving a health
talk to her class, and warned pupils
never to kiss animals or birds.
"Can you give me an instance of
the dangers of this, Bobby?" she
asked one boy,
"Yes, amiss, my Aunt Alice used
to kiss her dog,"
"And what happened?" asked the •
teacher,
"It died."
with all the prophets and the types
and shadows of tate law given by
Moses. Jesus fulfilled than in IIis
Person and Mission, There was
no farther need of slain bulloelcs
and lambs, He was the all -atoning
sacrifice.
* * *
Jesus showed that greatness con-
sisted in serving, Ile gave "lila
life a ransom for many,"
In the last passage we see that
he was not only the offering but
the offerer. He is a sympathetic
high priest for he was tempted in
ali points lilce as we are, yet with-
out sin. "Let us therefore come
boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we ntay obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in time of need."
All these facts about Jesus be-
come very real to us when we
come to Him in repentance for our
sins and receive Him as our Sava
iour. He has procured salvation
for us at great cost. Let us not
neglect It.
