Synopsis.—David Elden, son of a drunken, shiftless ranchman, al • most a maverick ot the foothills, «Ja breaking bottles with his pistol T’rom his running cayuse when the first automobile he has ever seen arrives and tips over, breaking the leg of Doctor Hardy but not injur* Ing his beautiful daughter Irene. Dave rescues the injured man and brings ,a doctor from 40 miles away. Irene takes charge of’ the housekeeping. Dave and Irene take many rides together and during her father’s enforced stay they get well acquainted. CHAPTER ll—Continued. For the first time he looked her straight in the face. His dark eyes met her gray ones and demanded truth. “Irene,” he said, “do you mean that?” “Sure I do,” she answered. •'College courses, and all that kind of thing, they’re good stuff, all right, but they make some awful nice boys—real live boys, you know —into some awful dead ones. My father says about the best education is to learn to live with in your Income, pay your debts and give the other fellow a chance to do the same. They don’t all learn that at . college. Then there’s the things you do. Just like you were born to it, that they couldn’t do to save their lives. Why, I’ve seen you smash six bottles at a stretch, you going full gallop and whooping and shooting so we could hardly tell which was which. And ride —you could make more money riding for city people to look at than most of those learned fellows, with letters af ter their names like the tail of a kite, will ever see. But I wouldn't like you to make it that way. There are more useful things to do.” He was comforted by this speech, but he referred to his accomplishments modestly. “Ridin’ an’ shootin’ ain’t nothin’,” he said. “I’m not so sure,” she answered. “Father says the day is coming when our country will want men who -can shoot and ride more than it will want lawyers and professors.” “Well/ when it does it can call on me,” he said, and there was the pride in his voice which comes to a boy who feels that in some way he can take a man’s place in the world. “Them is two things I sure can do.” Years later she was to think of her remark and his answer, consecrated then in clean red blood. • They talked of many things that af ternoon, and when at last the length ening shadows warned them it was time to be on the way they rode long distances in silence. Both felt a sense which neither ventured to express that they had traveled very close in the world of their hopes and sorrows and desires. • The shadows had deepened into darkness, and the infinite silence of the hills hung about them as they dropped from their saddles at the Elden door. A light shone from within, and Doctor : For the First Time He Looked Her * Straight in the Face. : Hardy, who was now able to move ' about with the aid of a home-made i crutch, could be seen setting the table, 1 while Mr. Elden stirred a composition on the stove. They chatted as they worked, and there was something of the joy of little children in their com . panionship. The young folks watched k for a moment through the window, and in Dave’s heart some long-forgotten ; emotion moved momentarily at the । sight of the good-fellowship prevailing > in the old house. Irene, too, was think ! ing; glimpses of her own butlered ‘ home, and then this *^ckground of ■ primal simplicity, where the old cow • man cooked the meals and the famous i specialist set the plates on the bare board table, and then back of it all her mother, sedate and correct, and very much shocked over this mingling of t the classes. J “Well, you youngsters must have this ’ country pretty well explored,” said $ Doctor Hardy, as they entered the 1 hejuse. “Where was it today—the - prairies, the foothills or the real fel lows behind?” “The canyon up the river,” said 1 Irene, drawing off her sweater. “What’s the eats? Gee I I’m hungry! Getting pretty supple, Daddykins, aren’t you?” “Yes, an’ I’m sorry for it, miss,” said • .. < -r- . -J:/. I the old rancher, “not wishin’ him any ‘ harm, or you, neither. We was jus’ talkin’ it over, an’ your father thinks J he’s spry enough for the road again. ■ Ain’t ever goin’ to be like it used to be after he’s gone, an’ you.” 1 “We’ll be sorry to go,” said the doc tor. “That’s what I’ve been saying all day, and thinking, too. If misfortunes can be lucky, ours was one of that 1 kind. I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed a holiday so much. What do you say, 1 girl?”’he asked, as he rested an arm on her round, firm shoulder and looked • with fatherly fondness into the fine brown of her face. “I’ve never known anything like IC” she answered. “It’s wonderful. It’s life.” Then with a sudden little scream she exclaimed: “Oh, daddy, why can’t you sell your practice and buy a ranch? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” “Your mother might not see It that way,” he replied and her eyes fell. Yes, that was the obstacle. She would have to go back to the city and talk by rule, and dress by rule, and behave by rule, and. be correct. “It’s been a good time,” the doctor continued, when they had commenced supper, “but I’ve already overstayed my holiday. I feel I can travel now, and my leg will be pretty strong by the time lam back east. If Dave will oblige us by going to town tomorrow and bringing back some one who can drive a car, we will be able to start the following morning. I will just take the car to town, and either sell it there or ship it.” The following morning found Dave early»on the trail, leading a saddled horse by his side. .The hours were leaden for the girl all that day and, looking into the future, she saw the specter of her life shadowed down the years by an unutterable loneliness. How could she ever drop'it all —all this wild freedom, this boundless health, this great outdoors, this life, life —how could she drop it all and go back into the little circle where con vention fenced out the tiniest alien streamlet, although the circle itself might lie deep in mire? And how would she give up this boy who had grown so imperceptibly but so inti mately into the very soul of her being —give him up with all his'strength and virility and, yes, and coarseness, if you will, but sincerity, too—an essential ' man, as God made him—ln exchange, for a machine-made counterfeit with the stamp of Society? Deeply did she ■ ponder these questions, and as the day wore on she found herself possessed ’ of a steadily growing determination ' that she would not follow the beaten 1 trail, let the by-paths lead where they might. _c Darkness, save for a white moon, had settled over the foothills when the ; boy returned with another young man. 1 The stranger ate a ravenous supper, but was not too occupied to essay con ' versation with Irene. He chose to call ’ her cook. j 1 “Swell pancakes, cook,” was his • opening remark. “Can you find an other for yours truly?” She refilled his plate without an swer. “Used to know a girl mighty like you,” he went on. “Waitress in the । Royal Edward. Gee! but she was swell! A pippin! Class? Say, she had ’em all guessing. Had me guessing myself for a while. But just for a while.” He voiced these remarks with an air of intense self-approval more offensive Than the words. 9 Irene felt the color rise about her neck and cheeks and run like an over flowing stream into her ears and about her hair. It was evident that, for a second time, Dave had chosen to say nothing to strangers about her pres ence at the ranch. Her father and Mr. Elden were in Dave’s room; Dave had stopped eating, and she saw the veins rising in his clenched fists. But the challenge was to her, and she would accept it; she felt no need of his pro , tection. “Fill your stomach,” she said, pass ing more pancakes; “your head is i hopeless.” i He attempted a laugh, but the meal ' was finished in silence. The stranger • lit a cigarette and Irene went to the • door with Dave. ' “Come for a walk,” he whispered. • “The horses are tired, so let’s walk. I . . . It’s our last chance.” She ran for her sweater and rejoined him in a moment. They walked in । silence down a path through the fra ; grant trees, but Dave turned from time • to time to catch a glimpse of her face. [ white and fine as ivory in the soft ’ light. He had much to say, but he was ■ tongue-tied under the spell of her i beauty. “You squelched him, all right,” he ■ broke out, at length. “Just in time, too, I think,” she re ' plied. “I was watching your hands.” He smiled a quiet but very confident t smile. “Reenie,” he Said, “that fellow I makes me sick. All the way out he . talked about girls. He’s a city chap . an’ wears a white collar, but he ain’t *fit to speak your name. Another min ute an’ I’d ’a’ had ’lm by the neck.” I He seixed a spruce limb that stuck ; across their path. It was the sixe of a • stout stick, but he snapped it with a ' turn of his wrist. It was very tough; I it ooxed sticky stuff where he broke it "Wfa ntdt,” he Mid, IHtirt cn hi* Wft, “Jus’ like that” They reached an open space. Some thing black—or was it red?—lay on the ground. Dave bent over it a mo ment, then looked up to her white, clear face, white and clearer than ever since witnessing -the strength of his hate. ( “It’s a calf,” he said, as calmly as he could. “Half etup. Wolves, I guess.” “The poor, poor thing!” she breath- j ed. “The poor, innocent thing! Why did it have to die?” “It’s always the innocent things ’at suffers,” he answered. “Always the innocent things,” she repeated mechanically. “Always—” She sprang to her feet and faced him. “Then .what about the Justice of God?” she demanded. “I don’t know nothin’ about the jus tice of God,” he answered bitterly. । “All I know is the crittur ’at can’t । run gets caught.” There was a long pause. “It doesn’t seem right,” she said at length. “It ain’t right,” he agreed. “But 1 , guess it’s life. I see it here on the prairies with every livin’ thing. I guess I was like that, some. I’ve been caught. I guess a baby ain’t respon* slble for anything, is it? I didn’t • pick my father or my mother, did I? But I got to bear it.” There was something near a break In his voice on the last words. She felt she must speak. “I think your father is a wonderful old man,” she said, “and your mother ■ must have been wonderful, too. You should be proud of them both.” “Reenie, do you mean that?” he de manded. His eyes were looking straight into hers. “Absolutely,” she answered. “Ab solutely I mean It.” “Then I’m goin’ to say some more things to you,” he went on rapidly. “Things ’at I didn’t know whether to say or not, but now they’ve got to be said, whatever happens. Reenie, I haven’t ever been to school or learned lots of things I should ’a’ learned, but I ain’t a fool, neither. I didn’t learn to break all those bottles in a day. Well, I can learn other things, too, an’ I will, if only it will take me across. Pm goin’ to leave this old ranch, some way, jus’ as soon as it can be arranged. I’m goin’ to town, an’ work. I’m strong; I can get pretty ; good wages. I’ve been thinkin’ it all | over, an’ was askin’ some questions ' in town today. I can work days aa’; go to school nights. An’ I’ll do it —If • it'll get me across. You know what I mean. I ain’t askin’ no pledges, Ree nie, but what’s the chance? I know I don’t talk right, and I don’t eat right— you tried not to notice but you couldn’t help—but, Reenie, I think right, an’ 1 1 guess with a girl like you that counts , more than eatin’ and talkin’.” She had thought she could say yes or no to any question he could ask, but as he poured forth these plain, passionate words she found herself enveloped in a flame that found no ex pression in speech. She had no words. She was glad when he went • on: “I know I’m only a boy an’ you’re only a girl. That’s why I don't ask no pledge. I leave you free, only I want you to stay free until I have my chance. Will you promise that?” She tried to pull herself together. “You know I’ve had a good time with you, Dave,” she said, “and I’ve gone with you everywhere, like I would not have gone with any other boy I ever knew, and I’ve talked and let you talk about things I never talked about be fore, and I believe you’re true and clean and —and —” “Yes,” he said. “What’s your an swer?” “I know you’re true and clean,” she repeated. “Come to me—like that — when I’m a woman and you’re a man, and then —then we’ll know.” He was tall and straight, and his shadow fell across her face, as though “Reenie” He Said, "Kiss Me." even the moon must not see. “Ree nie." he said, “kiss me.” For one moment she thought of her mother. She knew she stood at the parting of the ways: that all life for her was being molded In that moment. Then she put both arms about his neck and drew his lips to hers. Dave goes to town to seek his fortune. (TO BE SbNTINUED.) If* the Calm Ones Who Get Fat. “So you married that Miss Meek.

In the days of Jeholaklm the Lord charged Jeremiah to bring the Recha bites into the house of the Lord and tert them regarding the drinking of wine. This he did in a place where the people might behold them, the aim being to teach Israel by example. The father of the Rechabites had given command that they should not drink wine. Their ! filial obedience put to shame the Is raelites for their lack of obedience. Jonadab, the father of the Rechabltes, was only a man, but the one whose commands Israel were disregarding was the Almighty God, their Creator and Savior. It is God’s plan that every man be tested. Being a free agent he only can have character through test ing. It was for this reason that God placed Adam and Eve in Eden and per mitted the devil to test them. While we should be concerned with the re moval of temptations from men, we should be more concerned teith teach ing them their responsibility and show ing them how to overcome. 11. The Filial Loyalty of the Recha bites (w. 6-11). Though they were out of their own country, in the midst of a foreign peo ple, they refused to drink wine, declar ; ing that they had been true to the in i struction of Jonadab all their lives, i Obedience to his instructions had been ; practiced by all men, women and chil ! dren. It is a fine thing when children ' keep in memory their fathers and ren der obedience to their commands. 111. The Loyalty of the Rechabites in Contrast With the Disloyalty of the Israelites (w. 12-16). 1. The appeal (vv. 13,14). He made the appeal on the basis of the filial loyalty of the Rechabites. He remlnd | ed them that the Rechabltes were obe ! dient, though their father was dead long ago. He also reminded them that he had spoken to them in person, rising up early to do so. 2. The ministry of the prophets (w. 15,16). When the people failed to ren der obedience to God he sent to them I the prophets, who plead with them to i amend their ways by turning away from their idols. Matthew Henry indi cates the points of contrast somewhat as follows: (1) The Rechabltes were obedient to one who was but a man; the Jews disobeyed the infinite and eternal God. (2) Jonadab was dead long since and could not know of their disloyalty or correct them from it God is ali-wise and lives forever and will punish for disobedience. (3) The Rech abltes were never put in mind of their obligations, but God sent his prophets who rose up early to remind them. (4) Jonadab left the charge, but no estate to bear the charge; but God gave the people a goodly land and blessed them in it. (5) God never tied up his people to any hard task like Jonadab did, yet God’s people disobeyed him and the Rechabltes obeyed their father. IV. Judgment Upon the Jews for Dis obedience (v. 17). God declared that he would bring judgment upon them according to what he had said. Judgment is determined upon those who disobey and rebel against God. V. Reward of the Rechabites for Their Loyalty (vv. IS, 19). Because they had been true to the | commands of Jonadab they should ‘ have continued representation before God. God has such regard for filial i obedience that he lets no act go unre warded. God Knows His Own. The church must keep herself pure. Neither false doctrine, nor false life, 'is allowable. The searching eyes of God see every corner of his dwelling place. Nothing Is hidden from his search. “The Lord knoweth them that are his. and them that are not his cannot deceive him. So, “let ev eryone that nameth the name of Christ, depart from iniquity.” The Miracle of Divine Grace. The miracle of divine grace is too great for our understanding. The most dreadful thing about sin is the terrible feeling that the sinner can never agaip be as though that sin had never been. —Rev. Reginald J. Campbell in the Churchman. Power of Prayer. Prayer is the summing up of the i Christian life in a definite act. which | is at once inward and outward, the i power of which on the character, like that of any other act. is proportioned to its intensity.—Benjamin Jowett What We Will and Must There is no contending with neces sity, and we should be very tender how we censure those that submit to it.

Little Anne was very fond of ripe olives, and her mother had to watch her to see that she did not indulge too freely. One day there was company, and Anne managed to have the olive dish stopped near her plate. After the dinner her mother pointed to the pile of pits,on Anne’s plate and asked: “How could you make such a pig , of yourself? I should think you would be ashamed to see so many pits, and ashamed to have others see them.” Anne hung her head and replied: “I was. That’s the reason I threw all the rest of them on the floor.” ' I WHEN MEALS I 1 HIT BACK : “Pape’s Diapepsin” instantly Ends Indigestion, Sourness, Stomach Acidity v Are lumps of undigested food cans- -is ing you pain?
