rides after her. At the cabin Sher-

cave where he can hide his meager
belongings while he waits.
CHAPTEI• XV
A man 'ound securely and hid-
den in that unknown cavern, be-
yond reach of the sun beyond the
sound of 'human voices might taste
sornethi of the miser^ of a pris-
on: And, if he st y ed there long
et eugh, he woul,1—clic. It was a
scheme so simple and so hideous
that it appealed at on,;e to his fer-
ocious passion for revenge. It
would be easy, too if only he could
get Stenhart by himr.tlf; with all
11:e wily skill in shielding himself
at the expense of others, all his
bravado, Stenhart at heart a
coward.
. Sherwin carne out of the little
cabin with the rope in his hand, he
-would not leave it there for chance
to rob him of it, he would hide it
ready to his hand, for he was sure
that Stenhar and he would come,
at last, .,c' to face
He stood in the full glory of the
morning. The fa off heights
were shorn of their shadow., and
melted like peaks of gold into the
golden sky. By contra., the near.r
hills were darkly wooded, glancing
with lights and shadows, and far
up an eagle soared. Something
new and mighty swept into his
soul; he seemed to hear the voices
of the wilderness crying to him:
"Vengeance is Mine!" For a single
instant ' is very soul was shaken,
then he turned and walked to the
far edge cf the little clearing.
There, through a window in the
foliage, he glimpsed the lower
road, running like a white ribbon
far beyond the ravine. As he
glanced down at it he saw a man
riding slowly across his vista and
he gasped for breath. The i:plifted
moment plunged deep down into
the chasm of his hate—it was Sten -
hart!
He di.: not question why he
came thus. Instinctively he knew
that the mar. was on an errand of
betrayal, but his own heart leaped
fiercely; he had seen him first. he
was alone. Holding the rope upon
his arm, he 'cit for the pistol in
his shoulcier-hoster; knew it to be
loi.ded and ready. With a kind of
savage joy he turned and began to
descend the dangerous path on the
ledge ,of tile ravine, and its very
danger thrilled hint
4:
He did not walk fast, he took
time to orde, his thoughts; the
man shoula have his chance, a
chance he had never given him, to
fight for his life. Sherwin scorned
to stab in the dark as the other
did, to kill with lies! Imprison-
ment for life—and le was so young
then! He thought of the cavern,
its gloom, its drippi' e walls, and
he laid a caressing hand on the
coil of rope upon his arm. Torn
with the evil forces of his passions,
sure that revenge was near, he
turned the corner of the ledge and
saw a figure coming toward him.
Not Stenhart so soon! No, a
slighter, younger figure, a white
face, clear eyes—Janet
They stooc: looking at each
other. The silence seemed interm-
inable. Through the plan's mind
flashed the .:onviction that she had
come with Stenhart, that she must
be in league: with hint! To think
her trea 'serous was as bitter as
death. He flung down the coil of
rope and stood waiting, with folded
arms. It was certain that he could
not kill Stenhart before her, but
his purpos was unshaken, he
would do .hat when the oppor-
tunity came.
Jane, looking at his hardened
face, his grim lips, wavered. Her
courage — which had been high —
went down in sheer terror of him;
he hated her—suddenly she felt it,
Then, having come so far, she
would not be utterly dismayed.
She came on weekly, catching at
the trailing limbs of nearby trees.
"I guessed where Mac had taken
you. I've. come to—ask you one
question,' she faltc ed, "I—"
She could not go on and he
would not help her. He stood
there lo Acing at her and she saw
only his inexorable eyes. At last
she could not endure theta; she
lifted her baking hands and hid
her face.
"I carne to ask you to—" Her
voice broke and theu rose almost
to a cry of pain—"to tell Inc that
it isn't tette!"
"To ,what purpose?" he asked
hoarsely. "You don't believe me,
Ask Stenhart; I know, you see,
that he's .vith youl"
"With Hie?" She lifted her
flushed face and looked at him,
amazed. "What can you paean?
I'm alore."
* * t.
Sherwin could not doubt her
honesty; she did not know that
she was followed.
"He's behind you " he said
bravely; "he dismounted on the
lower road. I saw hi; just now.''
She gasped, casting a frightened
look over her shot:Wei.. "I never
thought he could ride 'So far. He'll
— " she shivered — "he'll betray
you!"
Sherwin laughec. discordantly.
"It wouldn't be new; he began
that lone ago—with a lie!"
She caught at that, trembling.
"It was a lie? Please tell me that,
tell me the truth—I want to be-
lieve it!"
"So you can convince him!"
Sherwin mocked her.
"He isn't here, I tell you; I carve
alone!" the girl erica excitedly.
"You cane alone.' Then come
here and I'll show you the horse
he rode." Sherwin turned as he
spoke, walking back toward that
vista through the trees.
* * *
The girl, half dazed by his man-
ner, unl,elieving that it could be
true that Ste • hart wa. with her,
followed him. They turned the
shoulder of the cliff and saw the
one clear vista of the lower road,
seer: over the cedar that thrust it-
self out b low them.
"There's the horse;" • said Sher-
win, "and here he is1.'Yott see? He
followed you, he's oeifigback now
—he knows where I ani."
"Oh!" Jae gave a little ct of
horror. "He — oh, a can't think
he'll tell the sheriff!"
"Can't you?" Sherwin's tone was
bitter. "You led him here."
The girl recoiled at that, not
with the horror she had recoiled
before, but with a flush• of pride,
"I did not lead him here," she
said coldly, and turned away.
She was in a tumult, how dared
he accuse her of treachery' She
started rapidly, retracing her steps.
Once she almost slipped on the
narrow ledge, but she did not look
back though she heat d his steps
behind her now.
"Jane!"
* *
She would not turn; she only
stumbled on. But he overtook her.
"Speak :. me," he said brokenly. .
"Forgive me—I thought I was
strong, but I'm weak; ,I'm a beg-
gar for a arced of kindness. You
came Here — tell nu., Jane, you
knew it a asn' true of me?"
She stood still, looking down,
pale and shaken. "You wouldn't
al swer me. Tell me that you're
innocent—" she liftee her eyes to
his — "tell me and — I'll believe
youl"
He looked at her strangely, he
was still iron in his will to kill the
perjurer.
"I am innocent of that crime,"
he said.
She leaned back against the cliff
behind her, panting, her face
flushed and her lips trembled.
"Do you believe mt., Jane?" he
asked hoarsely. "Had I been guilty
of that—I would never have told
yt u that I Ioved y_ ou.-
She looked up ane their eyes
held each ether.
"I believe you, John," she said
simply.
For one Iong moment they
looked at ea& other thus and a
strange change swept over the
man. He felt it without knowing
it, without recognizing this hidden
thing that tools possession of him;
but suddenly the world seemed
flooded with light ,c! in it he saw
only the face of the girl. Gently,
almost reverently, he toolc her in
his arms.

Last Thursday Partner and f
visited the Ontario Agriculture
College at Guelph, during its an-
nual Farm and Home Week. We
have always wanted to make just
such a visit but until now there
.lever seemed to be time. Now we
have the time our feet and legs are
not equal to the amount of walking
that is necessary to take full ad-
vantage 3f what chere is to see.
But we has, a good time anyway,
and a nice drive, and we visited
friends on the way home.
*
It was nooi, when, we reached
the College and there -was a line-up
outside one of the buildings. Sud-
denly we realized it was for lunch,
sc., more out of curiosity than ne-
cessity, we lined up toe. The line
moved slowly but steadily forward,
until finally we found ourselves in-
side the bu'Iding. Here each one
was handed a paper bag in which
were sandwiches. A little further
along we were given a small carton
of ice-cream and a dough -nut.
Just outside the building there was
a stall where coffee, piping hot,
was being served. It was sweet-
ened but one did not inquire with
what! Also one was allowed to
come back for a refill—and that,
believe Inc. was w elcome news
Partner end I found a secluded
corner—not too far away from the
coffee table—and ,t. our lunch.
The sandwiches were fresh and ap-
petising—three meat, ol'ie cheese
and one egg.
We were amazes• at the speed
and efficiency with which the lunch
had been • -ranee( and served.
There were 8000 visitors at the
College that day. IIow many
were served lunch I have no means
of knowing, but judging by the
line-up I ata sure the number
would run into thousands. There
was only one thine wrong with
that meal, :nsofar as we could see,
and that was, too mels food was
being wasted. Unwanted sand-
wiches and half -e. ten doughnuts
were thrown anywhere and every-
where. On- would .hink that fam-
ine in Europe ,lied never been
heard of. Or perhaps it just is
that there arc some people whc
hear with 'their ears but not with
their hearts. Unless our hearts
listen too, out ears might just as
well be deaf. Certainly it was not
tin caterer,, at the College who
were responsible for the waste of
food, but t' -e people themselves.
In the buildings we found some
very interesting exhibits—model
farms s'>>wing what could be done
with electricity; water systems and
home freezers. There was also a
livestock parade and a demonstrat-
ion on warble fly control, What a
well trained dog can do with a
flock of sheep was also cleverly
demonstrated. But when we got
home Partner looked at Tippy and
said —"Yes, we saw a wonderful
dog tut there wasn't a thing she
did that y. v cc.uldn't do, was there,
ole' girl?"
On dieplay there were also six
matched horses, dri )en 'it1 tandem
dtive, which made us think we
were back it the West again. So
many tithes P. •tact has hitched up
horses just that way to take a
grain wago,., full of wheat, to the
nearest elevator, which, if 1 re-
member rightly, vas at a small
place caled Valjean, in Saskatche-
wan..
* *
At this very moment Partner is
driving, not six horses, but two,
and one of them is a new one that
he bought this morning. We have
finally retched the stage when the
last of the horses with which we
started farming in Ontario has
been placed it. the retainer class.
Poor old Perch, r faithful old
horse if ever there was one, has
developed "heaves" so badly it
would be a sin to work him. So
now, as Partner drives around the
yard with Johnny, hitched up with
Queen; the new six-year-old mare,
Perch stands in the fence corner
and whinnies plaintively, I watche .,
him as he stood there, nostrils
• quivering, and just about as thin as
a rail. I tent to pet him but he
refused my sympathy and ran a-
long the fence, tossing his head
proudly and whinnying as before.
I erch is over thirty years old and
still has plenty of spirit. All win-
ter long Partner babied him along
—grinding his hay for him because
his teeth were worn down too
much f o r roughage. Carrying
water for him when the days were
rough and stormy. Grooming him,
giving hire extra bedding, petting
him, giving him all the comfort he
cc ulcl for all the years of faithful
service he ha. given us.

The Disciples' Mission
The disciples wet e ;o to preach
the gospel that Hien would believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ aro be
baptized into the fellowship of His
01 rrches. Evu' so there would be
some who would not believe and
on that accoui,t the} would be con-

and resurrection, repentance and

preached in His name Tl•.c duty
to wait was imperative. The dis-
ciples needed power that they did
net have. That ,)ower was prom-
ised with the coming of the Holy
Spirit. Then they were to tell the
world what their eyes had seen,
ausd what their ears na , heard front
the lips of the Son of God.

About the Disciples
There are ..iso tl tee things told
us about His disciples: they went
forth from the mountait.top, cast-
ir• their gaze heavenward and pre-
paring themselves for their tasks
on earth; they went everywhere
preaching Jesus of Nazareth as the
world's Saviour and Lord; and
their mi,iistry was authenticated
and attended by works of power
and deeds ' mercy.

No Place Like Horne
For Fatal Accidents
The horn., continues to be the
most hazard ; place of human as-
sembly. Worse than the factory,
far more dangerous than the pub;
lic highways, the home, with its
"booby rtaps" of batlrubs, slippery
staircases and rickety kitchen

of all types of injuries from all
sources — traffic, industrial, etc.
According to the Nat'onal Safety
