CThe Ward of Robbers' Roost - CRITTENDE:“ MARRIOTT © W. G. Chapman, . CHAPTER Xll—Continued —D24— “Hello! he yelled into the mouth plece, and when Diego's excited ac cents came back to him he swore ‘aloud. ' Diego recognized his voice and took 00 note of his profanity. Volubly, in mingled Spanish and English, he gasped out his tale. - At tirst Barker refused to believe it. Regularly, all the night through, his ‘spies had reported, each of them with the assurance that Go Ahead and Stel la were asleep at Bridget’s. “Nonsense, Diego,” he raged. “You're loco.” It's somebody else. Those other dubs are here at Bridget’s.” { “No loco, senor. You think I know hot the hombre who have trick me lyesterday? No, senor, no!” - “Well, I'll ind out and— If they’re mnot' here, perhaps— What are they ‘doing?" ¢ . “They make sleep, senior.. All but the black man, who stands on the watch.” “The black man? What black man?” “l know not, senor. Never have 1 seen him before.” “Well, can you get at them? How many men have you?” ' Diego explained that it would be easy. The senor remembered the big hole that the great wolf hound had dug beneath the back of the barn the time that he found himself shut up itherein? Bueno. The hole had been fllled with loose earth, easy to dig jout. It opened between the black man and the sleeper. . . . But yes, the earth was of a great looseness. Of a gurety his men could remove it un heard, and slip through unseen. He [himself would lead them in spite of '[hls wounded arm—wounded so cruelly by the knife of the senor. The senor ‘understood that there were knotholes ‘through which one could observe and Jearn when the chance best offered. The senor could imagine— But the senor had no more time for ‘imagining. “Never mind all that,” he broke in. “You get those birds! Get the two men any way you like, but get them., And get the girl, too, but ‘don’t hurt her; and then you light out ;lor the Roost with her and the others, pvhether they’re dead or alive. Call ‘me up when you're ready to start and let me know. Now get busy.” Barker slammed the earpiece on the ‘hook and rushed out of the officé and hap the road toward Bridget's. He was done for so far as Loboville was con 'cerned, but if Diego got that girl he {might yet force her to marry him and jescape with her to the East. He would stake all on the chance, would cast his lot openly with the bandits. The padre was at the Roost; that was why (he had not been at the ranch the ‘morning before, [f he had luck, he might yet win. Diego also hurried. Swiftly he called his men, most of whom were 'up and about by this time, and led them td the barn, where swiftly but cautiously they re-excavated the hole /beneath the barn sill. What noise they made was drowned by the tram ipling of the horses so close beside and by the sound of their munching on the oats in their nose bags. Caesar, continually shifting his gaze from right to fore and from fore {to left, and back to right again, looked Jess often over his shoulder; and when he did look his eyes, directing high, passed clear over the ground al most at his feet. Even when at last the surface caved softly in he did mot notice the cavity any more than she noticed any other depression in the unfamiliar earth. And Dilego, truth to tell, gave him little time for observation. The mo ment the hole was clear the Mexican 'was down, club In hand, writhing through. Once only he had to stop, \deterred by a touch from the man at the knothole when Caesar looked backward; then when Caesar turned mway to search the distances before him, Diego slid through, sprang up ward and ran cat-footedly , forward over the few Intervening feet, In the alr his club rose, held In his Jest hand—rose and came down; and without even a grunt the unsuspecting megro slumped to the ground. An In stant later the other ranch hands, fol lowing through the hole in quick suc cession, flung themselves bodily upon the sleeper. ‘Flower Names The names of many flowers find their origin in proper nouns, Back of them there are often blographles. The beantifsd Japanese flower, wistaria, discovered by Nuttall, was not named after him, but In honor of one of his sclentific friends, Casper Wistar, a professor of apatomy at the Univer slty of Pennsylvania, The gentian gete its name from the [liyrian king Gentlus, who was the first to discover fts groperties. Quassia was named after Quassl, a pegro slave in Surl The struggle was brief; for Qe Ahead it was very brief. With him Diego hagd ordered his men to take no chances, and he opened his eyes only to see a club descending. When it struck, life for him temporarily end ed. Stella, awakened by the struggle, squirmed aside just in time to dodge the pounce of two Mexicans and to snatch at her pistol, but before she could fire was overwhelmed beneath the weight of others, in whose grip she found herself utterly helpless. The whole thing was a matter of seconds. Even Diego, who had turned promptly away from Caesar, confident that his blow had gone home, was only Just in time to see the finish. Five minutes later Diego and his men were off. Go Ahead and Caesar bad been hung across their saddles, with their hands and feet lashed to gether beneath their horses’ bellies, and Stella, with her hanas tied be hind her, had beea forced to mount a herse that was led by Diego. Diego, surveying his work, felt well satisfied. He did not know that while he was telephoning to Barker, Go Ahead had revived in answer to Stel la's frenzied appeals, nor that Stella, stopped by the coming of the Mexi cans, had slipped into Go Ahead's hand the tiny penknife with which she had been trying to cut his bonds. Co R T | CHAPTER XIII ) For an hour or more Diego and his helpers trotted northward, leading or shepherding their three captives. Diego, exultant over his success and forgetting the pain of his wound in the joy of his triumph over the man who had outwitted him twenty-four hours before, chatted volubly with his men, boasting, not without rea son, of the skill with which he had planned and carried through the at tack. On the supposedly unconscious men bound to their horses he heaped epithets and derisive comments. Stella was not one to abandon hope readily, but she was very near to abandoning it now. Not one reason able glimmer. of hope could she see. True, she had given Go Abhead her own penknife and had seen his hand close over it, and she had been able to note that the Mexicans had not discovered it and taken it away from him. But that it could avail him any thing seemed impossible; it was too small, too fragile. Whatever spark of hope still lay in her breast was wholly unreasonable and was based merely on what she had seen Go Ahead do before, and not on any way out of the trouble that she could im-« agine. The horses had started on the up grade leading to the crest of the first swell over which Go Ahead had fol lowed her the day before. As they climbed, Stella turned in her saddle and swept the country behind with her eyes, hoping against hope that she might see something, if no more than a trail of dust, showing that friends were on their trail. But she saw noth ing. As she faced back to the front, how ever, a sudden gutery close behind her made her turn once more—just in time to see Go Ahead’s horse rearing and fighting against the bridle rein with which his Mexican captor An tonio held him. As she watched she saw him tear himself free and race away, buckjumping furiously, across the sandy slope, apparently trying to throw off the helpless form that was lashed so securely acrose his back. So sudden, so unexpected was the outbreak that for a moment the three Mexicans stared open-mouthed. Then, at Diego’s sharp command, Antonio spurred out after the buidened horse, rope in hand. Heart in mouth Stella had watched the struggle, longing to go to Ga Ahead's aid but restrained from do ing so by Diego’s powerful gragp upon her bridle. But when, afar off—for the chase had taken Antonio far—she saw Go Ahead hurled from his place and felt Diego’s grip momentarily re lax, she drove her spurs into her horse’s sides and strove to break loosa, She falled, of course, Her hands were too tightly bound, and Diego'a grip, relaxed as it was, was still too firm. The brief struggle ended In the only way it could end. So also her plea to be allowed to go to Go Ahead's help failed. Diego, who had hesitated for a momeni whether to go to Antonio'® help or not, instantly de cided agalnst it In vain Stella pleaded. A moment later the horses passed the crest and even the field of the struggle was hid den from her gaze. Half an hour later, cresting the see ond swell, beyond which lay Skeleton valley, Stella saw Barker and Wade and the bandits at the bottom, gestur ing impAtiently to her captors. Barker spurred out to meet them as they raced down the slope. He glanced at Stella and nodded, then he stared at Caesar's black face. and then, miss ing Go Ahead, be turned scowlingly to Diego. Diego did not walt to be questioned, He understood what his master wanted. Volubly he explained. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP lC—Religious - Prejudice and Fanati cism, I. Paul's Vow (21:18-20). Upon Paul’s arrival at Jerusalem representatives of the church there gave him a most cordial reception, In order that the brethren in Jerusalem might graciously receive him, it was proposed to him by the elders that he take a Jewish vow to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law. The effort was to remove prejudice. 11. Paul's Arrest (21:27-40). How far this act conciliated the Christian Jews we are not told, but it only enraged the unbelieving Jews, causing them to resort to mob law. These maddened Jews on the basis of a supposition seized Paul, dragged him from the temple and beat him mercilessly, intending to put him to death, Paul was rescued from the mob by the Roman guard. The chief captain, not being able to get any in formation from the howling mob, bound Paul and started for the castle. In order to protect him, the soldiers lifted him wupon their shoulders and bore him up the stairs. 111, Paul's Defense (22:1-27). Paul's chief concern was not his own safety. He used this last oppor tunity of witnessing for Christ. 1. His just claim for a hearing (vv. I'3)- . (1) His birth (v. 3). He was Jew born in Tarsus, a city of no mean reputation. : (2) His education (v. 3). He was educated in a school under the tutor ship of Gamallel and instructed “ac cording to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers.” (3) His zeal (v. 8). He was as zealous toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him. 2. His former attitude toward Jesus (vv. 4, ). “I persecuted this way unto the death,” so that his attitude was one of hatred as was that of the Jews. 3. How his attitude was changed (vv. 6-16). This change of attitude was brought about by the intervention of God. While on his way to Damascus with authority to bring the Christians to Jerusalem to be punished, Paul was smitten to the ground by a light from heaven, and the voice of the Lord gald, “Why persecutest thou Me?” When Paul inquired as to what he was to do, he was told to go into Da mascus where he would be told what to do. Ananians was sent by the Lord to make known His will. 4, The Lord commissioned him to go to the Gentiles (vv. 17-21). It was not of his own will that he preached to the Gentiles, but by the Lord’s direct commission, IV. Paul Before the Sanhedrin (23:1-10). The Roman officer, in order to learn why Paul was arrested, commanded the chief councll to assemble, and brought Paul before them. 1. Paul’s earnest look at the coun cll (vv. 1,2). This was a solicitation of thelr hon or to give him a falr hearing, and also a look of consclous Integrity and unfaltering courage. 2. Paul's stern rebuke of the head of the council (v. 8). “God shall smite thee, thou whited wall.” This was a just sentence, no doubt directed by the Lord. Paul showed that he had the highest re spect for the office, but the man then occupying It was not worthy of it, 8. Paul's appeal to the Pharisees (vv. 6-10). Seeing that he could not get a falr hearing, and percelving that the body before him was made up of Pharisees and Sadducees, he appealed to the Pharlsees for his preaching and some thing In common with thelr belles, V. The Lord. Stood by Paul (v. 11). He was In great need of grace to sustaln him. He may have begun to question the wisdom of his golug to Jerusalem, but this assured him that his course was right, and thus com fort was brought to him, VI. The Conspiracy to Kill- Paul (vv, 18.22), More than forty men banded to gether for the purpose of getting Paul out of the way, This plot was known to Paul's sister's son (v. 16), who re ported It, and thus doubtless saved the apostle's life, Highway of Holiness The highway of noliness is along the commonest rond of Wfe—along your very way.

W, Tozer, Pays Conscience Debt of 25 Cents Fort Worth, Texas.— Five years ago a woman and her small son got on a Fort Worth- Dallas interurban at Arlington. The conductor overlooked the boy so his mother let him “slip by."

ENGINEER’S GRIT : PREVENTS WRECK Train Brought to Stop as Driver Is Stricken. Atlanta, Ga,—A story of the heroism of an engineer who, by sheer grit, triumphed over intense physical dis tress long enough to insure the safety of his passengers arriving aboard the Crescent limited was told here. It was while piloting the Southern railway’s fast train between Monroe, Va., and Salisbury, N. C,, his regular run, that Engineer Joe M. Stedman suffered an acute attack of indiges tion as he sat at the throttle a few miles out of Danville, Va. He felt insensibility rapidly closing over him from the pains in his stom ach, Then he thought of the train load of passengers and by a super human effort of will, managed to ap ply the brakes. The train rolled to a steady stop just as he collapsed on the floor of his cab. The summoning of medical aid and organization of an emergency train crew resulted in a delay of about forty minutes. Finally, with a fireman at the throttle and a baggagemaster acting as fireman, the Crescent was brought into Sallisbury. Passengers made up a purse of $147 for Engineer Stedman, who was re ported by officials of the road to be well on the way to recovery.
