Famous Railroad Bridge
The banging bridge of the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad was designed
and built by 0. Shuler Smith in 1 STD.
By placing the bridge close to one
wall it was possible to support the
floor system on that side on a bench
wall and one girder span. But on
the other side three girder spans
were used, supported by eyebar
hangers suspended from two “'A”
frames, supported from the two
sides of the gorge. This bridge is
situated in Royal gorge, near Canon
City, Colo.

| I The °f Peribonka Crippled Lady By James !i
Oliver Curwood
MM; Service <©. i, 1029, DouMeday Doran & Co., Inc.) ^
CHAPTER I
This story is going to start like a
lesson in geography. This is because
it is largely a chronicle of real events
in human lives. History, whether of
things or people, resls upon the basic
necessity of possessing certain aspects
of situation which we encompass with¬
in the terms of latitude and longitude.
The following narrative would quite
profoundly miss its ri-nl drama if it
were to ignore the points of the com¬
pass and the manner in which Fate
played with them to bring about an
unusual combination ot ends
We will begin with Peribonka. Peri
bonka is a quaint little French-Cana
dian village which nestles on the shore
of the glorious Peribonka river, four
miles above Lac St. Jean, in the prov¬
ince of Quebec, it is made up almost
entirely of a single row ot thirty or
forty houses, all of which face the
river. Should one adventure a little
farther into the wilderness after har¬
ing made the wonderful Saguenay trip
up from Quebec to Ha Ha bay or
Chicoutimi and come to know Peri¬
bonka for himself, he will understand
why the houses are situated with no
neighbors or obstructions between
them and the river. For the r.ver Is a
living, breathing, God-sent thing to the
French-speaking people of the place,
abour whose drowsy lives there still
remains, like a sweet-scented veil of
old lavender lace, the picturesque sim
plieity of their great-great-grandfath¬
ers of a hundred and fifty years ago.
In contrast to the roaring, passion¬
ate Mistassini, fifteen miles away, the
Peribonka is peculiarly like the men
and women and children who inhabit
a few acres of its shores. It has, J
believe, given to them much of their
character, for of all the people in the
habitant country those of Peribonka
tire tlie gentlest and most lovable.
Even in the floodtimos of spring it is
not an angry or menacing river, and
in winter it is so genially smooth and
well frozen that the habitant farmers
use it for their hnrse-nnd cutter races,
or as a trail by which to come to
town. In spite of its great size and
the vast forces behind it, the kind¬
ness and gentleness of its nature must
have made its people what they are.
The men are truthful, their morals are
right, they believe in God as well as
in spirits, they are ciean and cour¬
teous and hospitable. The women are
bright eyed, clear skinned, unrouged,
unbobbed, pretty. These people are
always looking toward tlie river, in the
evening when they go tr bed. In the
morning when they get up. They have
built tiieir picturesque little church
facing it, and the good Father sleeps
with his bedroom window opening
upon it The local cemetery occupies
an acre of hallowed ground within a
hundred feet of the water’s edge. A
venerable monastery is built at the
mouth of it.
Until quite recently the two hap¬
piest people in the village of Peri¬
bonka were Maria Chapdelaine urid
her husband Samuel. They are still
happy, although Samuel is a bit over¬
cast at present because of a financial
loss which lias come to him. For
years Samuel lias run his little store
and Maria her kitchen, in which she
prepares delectable meals for the few
transients who come their way, and
until this recent time to which I have
referretl, there is good reason to be¬
lieve she was the happiest woman in
her little world.
Now there is another. They call
her the Crippled Lady. She is often
seen sitting on the wide veranda of
a quaint little home in a garden of
flowers just this side of the church.
There is a road which completely en¬
circles Lac St. Jean, connecting the
villages and farms in its narrow rim
of civilization, and during the tourist
season occasional automobiles pass
through Peribonka. Their occupants
always stare at the Crippled Lady if
she happens to be on her porch. She
is a vision of loveliness which one
cannot easily forger. Women talk
about her, and men silently bear away
a picture of her in their hearts. Her
beauty, if one has only a moment’s
contemplation of it, strikes almost
with a shock. It is Slavic—thick,
dark, shining hair drawn smoothly
back, a face clearly white as a nun’s,
unforgettable eyes, a slim, beautiful
figure in a big chair—and something
else. It is that other thing which
photographs her so vividly and so per
manantly upon one’s consciousness.
Perhaps it is some rime before one
realizes that what he has seen Is not
beauty alone but happiness. The
Crippled Cady, who cannot walk, who
cannot stand alone, is happy, and she
covets nothing which God has not
already given her. Her voice tells you
that
The people of Peribonka love this
charming foreigner, who has made her
home among them. The women are
not Jealous of her. She makes the
significance of purity and beauty
nearer and more comprehensive for
the men. The Church prayed for her
when she was very sick. She is of
all religions, just loving God. so that
even the sternest of the monks in
their grim white walls down near the
lake speak and think of her tenderly.
The children worship her. and the big.
wide porch of her home has become a
shrine for Them. In Peribonka youth
still continues to grow up into man¬
C HEY EEAJPEE‘EEB: ,7 -
hood ; nd womanhood believing with
great faitli in the visible existence of
sphdts.rtioth good and bad, and in the
varied tmd frequent manifestations of
a divine interest and watchfulness. So
the children have come to believe that
it was a miracle which sent the Crip¬
pled Lady rhrough the doors of death
and then brought her safely back
again, that she might remain with
them always. Even mothers and 1
me
fathers believe tin's, jt-st ns surely as
they believe it is a sin to steal from
one's neighbor or speak falsehood
against him. “Thus works tlie hand
of God.” tlie good Father has said. So
tlie Church believes it. too.
They nil know her story. And that
story is an epic which will live for »
long time in tlie country about Lac St.
Jean. I doubt if it will die until the
so-called progress of industrially active
man thrusts up ‘is grimy band wnd
inundates it. along w’th the quaint¬
ness and beauty and satisfying near¬
ness to God of living up there.
It is this story I have set out to
tell, with a bit of geography to b<gin
with—who tlie Crippled l.ady is and
why site is there, how site bravely
tried to give up her life for another
woman’s husband, and why she lives
today so happily in Peribonka.
CHAPTER II
ft is unusual that an Indian should
be born in one of tlie wealthiest fam¬
ilies in New York.
Yet it happened.
A traveler to the city of Brantford,
Out., will find within a few mile # 1 of
the town a little church built for the
Indians by King George the Third,
and close about it an old cemetery,
in which resls the dust of the last
of riie great Iroquois warriors and
chiefs. In a tomb built of stone, which
is green with age and moss, lies
Thayendanegeu, greatest of all the Mo¬
hawks. and more commonly known as
Joseph Brant. Readers of the ro¬
mance, as well as Hie .'act of history,
may recall the day when Sir William
Johnson, the king’s right arm in the
Colonies, first saw Tlmyendanegea’s
sister. He was attending a muster of
his county militia when an officer
came galloping by with a beautiful
Indian girl of sixteen riding laughing
ly behind, him. Sir William, wliose
wife had recently died, caught,a vision
of lovely dark eyes and of flowing
black hair streaming in a cloud be¬
hind a form of rare symmetry and
grace, and in that moment tlie heart
of. the lonely and susceptible widower
was smitten so deeply that evening
found Molly (’.rant In Johnson castle,
where she remained, thenceforth Its
mistress and the Idol ot Its proprietor.
Geography and history skip a hun¬
dred arid thirty-five years ufter this
event until they arrive at the birth of
the Indian boy on Fifth avenue.
When James Kirke married Molly
Craddock neither thought very much
about the strain of Indian blood in
Molly’s veins, except that Molly was
always secretly proud of It. Kirke
was not the kind of man to boast of
ancestors, or even to think about
them, for lie had one consuming am¬
bition from the beginning, and thal
was to pyramid his Inherited millions
into ever-increasing financial power.
He became so completely absorbed in
this task that after a few years Molly
was left very largely to whatever
dreams she may have had of the pic¬
turesque and romantic past, und to an
absorbing love for her young son, Paul.
She told hint many of the pretty
stories and some of the tragic ones
which deeds had written in the lives
of their ancestors, and twice she went
with him to the ancient burial place
near Brantford u'nd sat beside the
tomb of Thayendanegeu. and tried to
make him see as clearly as herself the
stirring days when Molly Brant came
with tresses flying before Sir William
Johnson.

Used to It
The night was .dark and the hour
late as a solitary wayfarer passed
along the deserted street. Was it de¬
serted, though? No three; slinking
figures emerged from, the shadows,
marked their prey, and then attacked
him.
Three to one Is powerful odds, but
the wayfarer field bis own. One by
one his assailants landed with a thud
on the ground, battered and bruised,
tiieir clothing torn.
A policeman hurried up nnd sur¬
veyed the wreckage.
“Fine work!” he said, addressing
the hero, who was calrniy lighting a
cigarette. “Jujitsu?”
“No,” answered the other. “Rail¬

mously, in the American Phrenolog¬
ical Journal as the “haughtiest of
writers that has ever yet written and

States and Democratic Review, for the
same month of September, 1855, he
hailed himself anonymously, as “one

I. The Greatest in the Kingdom of
Heaven (vv. 1-4).
1. The disciples’ question (v. 1 ).
The prominence given to Peter in
connection with the announcement of
Christ’s purpose to build the church
and the payment of tribute with the
money in tlie fish’s mouth, provoked
jealousy on the part of the other dis¬
ciples. The transfiguration scene re¬
vealed tlie divine person and the pro¬
gram of His kingdom. Seeing that
the kingdom was to come to realiza¬
tion despite the tragedy of tlie cross,
disciples wished to know their place
of rank in the kingdom.
2. Jesus' answer (vv. 2-4).
He taught them by placing a little
child in their midst.
(1) Condition of entrance into the
kingdom (v. 3). The great question
was as to whether they were really in
the kingdom. Their behavior revealed
the fact that they needed conversion.
Before they could even see, much less
enter into, the kingdom, they must be
born from above (John 3:3, 5). (2)
Whosoever possesses childlike humility
is the greatest (v. 4). The child is
dependent, lowly and modest. Those
who have been born again, or con¬
verted, have these characteristics.
II. The Lord's Identification With
His Believing Ones (vv. 5-0).
1. Receiving the believer in Christ’s
name is receiving Christ (v. 5).
Through faith in Christ we become
God’s children and so completely is
our life Interwoven with Iiis that He
regards treatment of us as treatment
of Himself.
2. The peril of causing a believer
to stumble (vv. 0 - 0 ).
To cause to stumble means to give
occasion for a moral fall. The par¬
ticular reference was to tlie carnality
and selfishness which were expressing
themselves in their contention for pre¬
eminence. Their behavior was not
only an injury, but a stumbling block
to others. Everything causing one to
stumble, though it be as vital as hands
and feet, should be removed.
III. Believers Are Specially Cared
for by the Heavenly Father (vv. 10-14).
1. They are under angelic guardian¬
ship (v. 10 ).
So precious is tlie believer in God’s
sight that angelic messengers are pro¬
vided (lleb. 1:10). These angelic
messengers have access to Hie very
throne of God, even beholding His
face. So high is the honor bestowed
upon believers that the highest
angels are sent to guard them.
2. The Son came especially to save
such from tiieir lost condition (vv.
11-14).
The Heavenly Father does not will
that any one of these should perish.
They are objects of the Father’s seek¬
ing love. The salvation of tlie hum¬
ble believer lias been secured by the
incarnation and tlie sacrifice of the
Good Shepherd.
IV. Jesus Receiving Little Chil¬
dren (Matt. 19:13-15).
We should carefully note the setting
of this text. Jesus had been speaking
of the sanctity of marriage, which Is
the bulwark of the home. Into the
sacred enclosure of the home comes
childhood to complete and ennoble it.
1. Children brought to Jesus
(v. 13).
Doubtless they were brought by
their parents. Many parents today
who are careless as to themselves, de
sjre to bring their children into touch
with Jesus Christ.
2. Rebuked by I he disciples (v. 18).
They regarded children as too Insig¬
nificant to engage tlie Lord’s attention.
Christ places high value upon chil¬
dren.
3. The disciples rebuked by Christ
(v. 14).
These words uttered by the Lord
have placed a peculiar dignity upon
the child. It is Christlike to care for
children and no service in the world
pays such large dividends.
4 Christ laid Ills hands upon the
.
children (v. 15).
For More Peace on Earth

knees make for more peace on earth.

dangerous in the whole Christian life
than the condemnation of others.—G.

Bible and Money
“But thou shait remember the Lord
thy God; for It Is He that giveth the
power to get wealth.”
To Honor God
Large asking and large expectation
on our part honor God.—Sei.
In every line of endeavor there is
always a leader—and countless fol¬
lowers. The field of household lubri¬
cation is no exception. Unfortunately
the general public doesn’t always ap¬
preciate the difference between the
real thing and the “just as
but household experts do.
They know an oil intended for
eral household lubrication should
clean and protect as well as lubricate.
3-In-One Oil does these three things,
because it is a scientific compound of
three high grade products—animal,
mineral and vegetable oils. It is dis¬
tinctly in a class by itself.
3-in-One costs more to make than
ordinary oil, hut less to use. If you
want the best possible service from
your sewing machine, vacuum clean¬
er, lawn mower, washer, electric fan
nnd other household devices, insist on
the old reliable 3-in-One Oil. At
good stoves everywhere, in 15c and
30c sizes. For your protection, look

Gentle Rebuke Veiled
in Parson’s Profanity
It was only a small church in a
small town, so that the preacher
could see that tlie stranger in tlie
front pew had put a $10 bill into tlie
contribution box. By deep breath¬
ing lie kept from fainting away with
astonishment, and was able to re¬
spond to tlie stranger’s greeting
when he came down from tlie pul¬
pit; at the close of tlie morning serv¬
ice.
“I want to tel] you," said Hie vis¬
itor, “how glad 1 am that 1 / hap¬
pened to drop in here this morning.
That was d—n line sermon. - ’
a
“Thank yon,” said Hie parson.
“And I want to say that I’m glad
you dropped in, and I was glad to
see that $10 you dropped in, too.
You know, it costs a Ii—1 of a lot
of money to run a church.”—Boston
