The Crippled Lady of Peribonka
— By —
James Oliver Curwood
YTNTT Service
(©, 1929, Doubleday Doran St Co., Inc.)
STORY FROM THE START
Introducing- some of the peo¬
ple of the pretty little French
Canadian village of Peribonka,
particularly the Crippled Lady,
idol of the simple inhabitants.
Paul Kirke ts descendant of 1
a a
sister of Molly Brant, sister of
Joseph Brant, great Indian chief.
He has inherited many Indian
characteristics. His father is a
powerful New York financier.
Paul marries Claire Durand,
daughter of his father's partner.
He is in charge of engineering
work near Peribonka. Paul’s
wife is in Europe. She dislikes
the woods. Paul becomes inter¬
ested in Carla, village teacher.
Paul writes his wife to join him.
Carla’s mother, long an invalid,
dies. Claire announces her in¬
tention of joining Paul on the
Mistassini.
CHAPTER V—Continued
—9—
He was glad he had heard tbe
words from tier own lips. It built up
a new comradeship between them and
made him more positive of his triumph
over himself. A letter from Claire
helped him. His wife laughed at him
pleasantly for ills whimsical sugges¬
tion of a Journey around the world,
and then painted in her picturesque
and vivid way tiie torture which she
knew such a trip would be for him.
"Without your forests, your open
skies, your big outdoors, you would
die before we got half around, Paul,”
she wrote him. “It would be merci¬
less of me to make you pay in that
way for my presence up at the Mis¬
tassini. 1 am coming, and just because
l want to come. 1 am anticipating
seeing something very wonderful up
there, something which will mean
greatly more to you and me than six
months or a year rambling around the
earth. As for such a trip, with you
in it”—and then she went on to tell
him more about himself than he
thought she had ever known. The let¬
ter thrilled him. it gave him a new
vision of Claire, who had never
analyzed him in tills gentle and un¬
derstanding way, portraying for him
the life which lie loved as though it
were a part of herself. But In the
end, after assuring him again that she
was corning to him und was looking
forward to tiie time when they would
be together, she said her return to
America might be postponed until the
following May or June, Could he
wait that long?
Carla also received a letter from
Claire. It was filled with a womanly
tenderness and sympathy for one who
had suffered a great loss, and was
tilled with the intimate knowledge and
sentiment which could only have been
given and inspired by Paul. Carla let
him read it Her eyes were strangely
alight, though she had prepared her¬
self to show it to him.
“You told me once that millions
could not buy sentiment," she said.
“And millions could not bring what
has come in her letter. It is her
heart speaking to me.’’
Carla became so deeply absorbed In
work outside of her school that he did
not talk with her again for a week.
She formed evening classes, in which
she taught English to the adults who
wanted to come to them, and the few
spare hours of her afternoons were
spent among the mothers of her school
children. With the coming of winter
Paul buried himself morj passionately
In the actual stress of outdoor labor,
leaving his office routine largely to
others, and the change benefited him.
Carla, on the other hand, seemed to
have assumed too great a burden. The
strain, if it were that, began to show
its effect on her, until Lucy-Belle
noted it and remonstrated with Paul.
“Every day she is growing less like
the Carla we knew before her mother
died," she told him. “She is breaking
under an effort to keep her mind
away from herself. Yesterday 1
dropped Into her cottage for a mo¬
ment when I knew she was there, and
I found her crying. She is growing
paler, and it frightens me to see the
loveliness fading slowly out of her
face. You must do something, Paul,
make her drop her night classes, send
her away for a vacation if you can.
I think I am the only one she confides
in at all, and I should not betray her
confidence—not even what I have
guessed about her. But something is
eating at her life which isn’t entirely
the loss of her mother. She insists
that her night work is a pleasure,
says she is feeling well and doesn’t
want to go away. But I know of a
dream she has always bad of visiting
her mother’s country. If the company
could arrange something like that—”
Paul saw Carla the next day, a cold
Sunday with snow on the ground. For
tbe first time in many weeks they had
a long walk together, and at the be¬
ginning of it she settled any sugges¬
tions he might have had in his mind.
It was as if she saw written in his
face what Lucy-Belle had said to him.
She mentioned airs. Derwent’s visit
and told him what she had said about
her work, smiling the other’s fears
away as absurd and without reason,
and adding with a very decisive little
note in her voice that to give up this
work or go away, as Lucy-Belle had
suggested, was the last thing she
would think of doing.
She had heard again from iris wife.
It was her third letter, and came from
Capri, where she was spending the
wintei painting. Claire had sent her
Humble Cow Looked On
as Evidence of Wealth
In the early centuries the cow was
looked upon as a source of wealth as
well as food. One of the first words
for money was “peeunia,” from the
Greek word “pecus,” meaning cattle
or herd, and the first coins made in
Greece and Rome were stamped with
the cow’s head.
Another interesting connection be¬
tween cattle and gold is found In the
story of the discovery of gold in Cali¬
fornia. People came overland by pack
train, around the isthmus of Panama,
and in sailing vessels around the Horn.
More people meant more cows and to
meet the growing demand, large num¬
bers of cows were brought from Ken¬
tucky and England. In the early min¬
ing days these sold for $380 to $500
a head—so a cow was almost as good
as a gold mine.—Kansas City Times,
Huge Guli Battles Man
While driving a mail truck near
Kirkwall, Scotland, recently, James
Greig was attacked by a huge seagull.
He disturbed the bird while it was
devouring a hare in the road. The
gull flew on his shoulder and pecked
him in the face, and Greig had diffi¬
culty in steering the car and warding
off the enraged bird which tried to
strike his eyes, as gulls do in killing
sheep. After a lengthy struggle Greig
knocked the gull to the floor, where
he held it until he could stop the
truck. He then killed it It meas¬

a little sketch of the vineyards and
the picturesque houses on their rock
cliffs. These letters, Carla said, would
always remain brightly in her mem¬
ories, they were so friendly and cheer¬
ing. She had answered them, and had
tried to tell Claire a little about her
own work, and of the glory and beauty
of the great forests and mighty rivers
near them. But she lacked the crea¬
tive soul which his wife possessed,
and could not adequately describe
them.
Paul knew that something of Carla’s
real soul was gone even as she talked
to him
His own dragged heavily through
the winter. Spring came, and his
days at the pit were almost over.
August would see his work finished.
He did not know what he would do
then, he told Carla. Things were hap¬
pening in South America. He might
go tliera Carla’s future was settled
for another year. The government
had offered her a contract to remain
with the children on tiie Mistassini,
and she had accepted. She. hoped
that within a year or two she might
be able to find a place in Peribonka,
near her mother.
Late in May Paul’s wife sailed from
Cherbourg and, to his surprise, was
coming straight to Quebec to join him.
“That ts wonderful of her," said
Carla, her eyes shining with the light
which was always In them when she
was thinking or speaking of Claire.
“She is coming directly to you!”
The day he left for Quebec he saw
her for a few moments to say good-by.
“I wish 1 were a man—and you, 1
she said.
A radiance was in her face when he
left her.
That evening, at dinner, Lucy-Belle
said to her husband: “Carla’s school
was closed this afternoon. Beryl told
me she dismissed the children because
she had a headache. We must go
over and see her."
“1 have been there," replied Der¬
went. “I was a bit worried when one
of the boys told me what had hap¬
pened, so 1 went over to see if sbe
needed me, and found her—crying."
“Oh!" exclaimed Lucy-Belle. “Now
1 think 1 understand!”
She said nothing more to her hus¬
band about Carla Haldan.
CHAPTER VI
Tiie crowning point of anticipation
in Paul’s six years of married life
was his journey to meet Claire. From
the Mistassini to itoberval, from Bob
erval to Metebechewan, and from
there down to Chicoutimi, where he
took the cross-wilderness train to
Quebec, lie built steadily to the visions
which the increasing interest and com¬
radeship in his wife’s letters had
helped him to create during the long
winter. That she was not following
her usual precedent ot going to New
York, but was coming to him, gave
him an emotional thrill which it had
not previously been his happiness to
experience in his relationship with
her. He believed that for Claire to
divert herself in this way from home,
her own people, and a host of friends
after an absence of nearly a year,
that she might come to him in a
wilderness which she frankly detested,
was almost dramatically significant of
a change in her attitude toward him.
It was the mystery of this change
which withheld from his feeling the
one thing which might have made it
a real passion of expectancy and joy.
In none of tier letters, which had
drawn her nearer to him than she had
ever been, had she spoken of love.
Even in response to the warmest
of his communications to her she had
given him no definite satisfaction, ex¬
cept to write him in a way which,
without openly avowing herself, drew
her closer to him, and gave to his
ideals of her a glowing, fleshly reality
which excited and possessed him as he
went to meet her.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬

The grand climax of tiie six months’
lessons is reached in this one. To
miss the significance of the crucifixion
of Christ will he to render valueless
all the preceding lessons. It is not a
matter of learning the lessons taught
by a great teacher or imitating the
examples of a great and good man,
but of apprehending the atonement
made by tiie world’s Redeemer.
I. The Place of Crucifixion, (vv.
33, 84).
They led Him away to Golgotha, a
hill north of Jerusalem, resembling
a skull. He was crucified “without
the gate" (Ileb. 13:12), At first He
was compelled to bear His own cross,
but when physical weakness made it
impossible for Him to continue, they
compelled Simon the Pyrenean to bear
it for Him (v. 32). In order to strength¬
en Him for tiie ordeal before He was
nailed to tiie cross, tiie soldiers of
ered Him a stimulant of vinegar mixed
with gall. He refused the stimulant
offered and consciously drank the
cup of sin to its hitter dregs.
II. Gambling for the Clothing of
the Lord (vv. 35, 3G).
It was the custom for the soldiers
who had charge of a crucifixion to
receive the garments of the one cruci¬
fied. We have here a fulfillment of
Psalm 22:1S. What sacrilege for them
to gamble for His seamless robe un¬
der the very cross where He was
dying!
III. The Accusation (v. 37).
It was customary to place over the
victim on the cross his name and in¬
dicate his crime. This superscription
was placed over Jesus by Pilate to
vex the Jews. He was their King in.
absolute truth. They had long looked
for Him and now, when He had come,
this is tiie kind of treatment they
gave Him.
IV. Two Malefactors Crucified
With Him (v. 38).
We arc not told who they were.
Perhaps they belonged to the band of
Barabbas. This was another fulfill¬
ment of Scripture (Isa. 53:12). In
these three crosses we have set forth
a spiritual history of the whole world.
V. The Dying Savior Reviled (vv.
30-44).
This reviling was engaged in by the
passerby, the chief priests, tte scribes,
elders, and tiie malefactors who were
crucified with Him.
1. “He saved others, Himself He
cannot save” (v. 42).
This jest was meant to show the ab¬
surdity of Jesus’ claims, but it demon
strated them and showed the. reason
for His suffering. He could not save
Himself arid others, so He chose to
give Himself to save others.
2. “If he be the king of Israel, let
him now come down from the cross”
(v. 42). Ills refusal to abandon the
cross established His rightful claims.
The devil offered Him the kingdoms
of the world if He would escape the
cross (Matt. 4:8-10). Through His
death He came into llis place of king
ship over all who bow to Him.
3. “He trusted in God. Let him
deliver him now” (v. 43).
His obedience unto death was the
sacrifice which met God’s full ap¬
proval.
VI. The Death of Christ (vv.45-50).
Who is sufficient to comment upon
this tragedy! Let ns contemplate it
in adoration and wonder. So shock¬
ing was this crime that nature threw
around the Son of God a shroud that
the godless company could not gaze
upon him. Darkness was upon the
land at noonday. Upon the termina¬
tion of tiie darkness, He cried with a
loud voice, “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?” He became
sin for the world and tiie world’s sin
hid God’s face from Him. God for¬
Him, turned from Him who had
the sinner’s place. God was
dealing with sin on the innocent sub¬
No one can understand that
God, but we can believe. When
price of sin was paid, He cried
with a loud voice, showing that
still had vitality; that His death
not from exhaustion, but by His
will. lie yielded up the
and sent away His spirit.
0<!d Penalty Inflicted
for Picking Tree Leaf
Every leaf you pluck costs you a
piece of your shirt!
This stringent and fantastic pen¬
alty was exacted for violating the
protection bestowed by an emperor
on a tree. The tree was an ancient
lime tree that stood in tbe town of
Adeisheim in Baden, Germany, and
tiie Emperor Kuprecht decreed its
perpetual protection in 1101. So
strong was the tradition of this medi¬
eval enactment that even at tiie be¬
ginning of the Nineteenth century
offenders were still penalized for
plucking twigs or leaves; although
a modification of the original rule,
almost as fantastic as the emperor’s
whimsical decree itself, let offenders
oil: with whole shirts? if they would
buy ribbons and tie them to the tree.
By 1807, however, the tree bad de¬
clined to such a ruinous state that it
had to be cut down, and for 50 years
or so its place stood empty. Now,
however, a new lime tree grows
where the “Emperor’s Tree” once
stood.—Kansas City's Star Science
Service.
Pipe-Organ to Sound
in Famous Tabernacle
One wonders wluit Spurgeon would
have thought of the new organ which
is to he brought into use at the Met¬
ropolitan tabernacle, writes “Looker
On” in the London Daily Chronicle.
The great preacher shared the old
Scottish dislike of “a lust 'o whis¬
tles," and in his time would permit
no musical instrument of any kind
in the tabernacle services, all the
singing being led by a precentor, who
announced the hymns and sang
through the first line to give the con¬
gregation a start. In recent years
an American organ has been used,
but the famous church in Newington
Butts has had to wait until now for
its first pipe-organ. It should be add¬
ed that, despite—or because of?—
the lack of instrumental aid, the con¬
gregational singing at the tabernacle
has always been notably good.
Nothing Doing
Secretary McCnnkle of the Ameri¬
can Institute of Actuaries told a
story at a banquet in Dos Moines.
“A waiter in a night club,” lie
said, “complained bitterly to the
cloakroom girl.
“ 'The whole night through.’ lie
moaned, ‘I’ve had the hardest kind of
hard luck. Haven’t made a cent on
the side, not a cent, i added in the
date on every blasted bill, but not
once did the trick work. Not once
the whole night through.’
“ ‘You poor fish,’ said the cloak¬
room girl, 'no wonder your trick
didn’t, work. Don’t you know that all
these people here are attending the
actuaries’ convention?’ ”
Buffalo in the Arctic*
As a result of the success all end¬
ing the introduction of the reindeer
into the American Arctics, the ex¬
periment has been tried with buffalo
taken from points in the northern
part of tin* United States and south¬
ern Canada. Nineteen American buf¬
faloes were liberated more than a
year ago at Jarvis creek in Alaska,
and while they have been carefully
watched they have been given no
•special care, except an occasional ra¬
tion of food when nature had cut off
the supply. The last reports indicate
that the animals were thriving in the
most satisfactory manner.
Her Need
Little Betsy had been ill. and with
the privilege of an invalid, demanded
fn much of her mother’s time and :;t
tention that her older brother, Fred,
was a trifle annoyed. One day when
Betsy hail kept her devoted parent
reading aloud to her until she was al¬
most hoarse, Fred remarked succinct¬
ly: “Well, mom, I think what Betsy
needs Is a ‘talking picture of you.’”
