"I'm too late--oh. God, I'm too late! Jane moaned, dropping the reins into Jim's hands and clasp- ing her own against her breast, * * * The white agony of her face smaté her brother; in a tumult of feeling, anger and regret, he held the horses steady and tried to fol- low her eyes. At first. in the broad glare of the sunlight on the high hills, he saw nothing but the white spray of the cataract and the mighty tree-trunks that upward in serried ranks, like an army. He could not even hear voices above the roar of the water, but he knew that Cutler's men were behind theme and before them, creeping up the mountainside, stealthy and sure, upon their quarry, as the hunter steals upon his game. Suddenly his heart failed him--he felt he had done a thing that he might well regret. No matter if the man was a convict, he had no reason to hunt him down; rather, indeed, he had cause to spare him, Jim's face sobered and grew pale. Then Jane flung herself from the saddle and started toward the screened opening of the trail, but, though she was juick, Jim was quicker; he was down in a mo- ment and after her, He caught her and held her, struggling, in his arms.

Clarke of GINGER FARM - - - - We have reason to be very thankful in this district -- having come to the end of a most intense and uncomfortable heat wave with- out any bad wind or thunder storm following in its wake. As one hot, humid day succeeded another [ think we were all a little bit afraid of what the end would be, espe- cially when every day we heard news of tornadoes, and twisters, and earthquakes, from first one place and then another. By the way, at Courtney, where the brunt of the ecarthquake was felt, was» where son Bob put in a lot of time during the war, In the army, of course. He read the news and then said disgustedly--"Things always happen after 1 have left a * * * Generally speaking 1 have very little sympathy with strikes or strikers but during a heat wave it would be no trouble at all to go on strike myself. After all, man is the only living thing who car- ries on just as usual in the midst of intense heat. If you don't be- lieve me just look around and see for yourself next time the mer- cury hits the high spots--which Heaven forbid will not be for a little while yet. : i If left to please themselves all "dumb" creatures show a lot more sense than we do when it is hot. Cows find the coolest spot in the pasture and there they stay through the hottest part of the day, con- tentedly sleeping or chewing their cud. And the hens and chickens-- what do they do? During most of the morning they are as busy as can he -- cating, scratching, drinking, and, in the case of hens, laying eggs. The chickens, out on range, are also continually on the move. But watch for those same birds' after dinner and you will hardly sce a chicken around any- where. They are cither sleeping in the cool of the chicken pen or in some shady spot outside. Then, round about five o'clock, cows and chickens come to life again. They are up and about their business, which, for them, is keeping their stomachs and crops filled up. * * * Having obscrved these dumb creatures take a look around and see what most of our two-legged wise guys are doing. You will find men in the hayfield slogging into the work with the hot sun beating down upon them. Or women in the kitchen, some of them with a fire on, canning, ironing, or ¢ven housecleaning. You find men and women too, working in stores, of- fices and factories, right on through the heat of the day, and then, just as the air gets a little - more bearable they quit for the day because it is six o'clock. Think what an easy pleasant life it would be if everyone rested from one to five during the hot summer afternoons, and then worked again from five until sundown. Quite an idea, isn't it, and it could be done except for the fact that we are such creatures of habit that we have to work by the clock in- stead of being guided by our nat- ural impulses. * * * Of course, like everyone else, "we kept right on working during that" awful heat. Not only that but the jobs that had to be done were hotter and more tiring than average. The men were busy in the hayfield and the hay particu- larly heavy. Then it was more of less of a worry trying out the new horse until we were sure what she could -- or would -- do. But we needn't have worried for Queen apparently has the normal strength of a horse with the disposition of a lamb--which is really something for a six-year-old. [ am certainly glad she is quiet for I am back to my old job of driving the team on the hay fork. And there were berries to can --but not to pick, thank goodness. And one morning we sold seventy- five of our chickens--and believe me that is pot the nicest job in hot weather. . * * * Of course we had holiday week- enders--and I fed them on salads and fresh fruits and cold meat. Daughter had a yen for a pie but I told her pies would have to v.ait until T had an electric stove to cook with. They all helped in the hayfield--and all finished up with wet shirts and sunbdros. Friend Bert developed such a red nose I told him anyone looking at him would not find it hard to believe that the Ontario liquor ra- tion had been doubled! We found a grand place to go for a swim, we listened to atomic bomb broad- casts, and now the week-end is over, and we are already to start work agai with a song in our hearts becjuse the weatherman has promisdd a high today of seventy.

Golden Text.--No man can serve two asters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or clse he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. --Matthew 6: 24. Only One God God's first law requires loyalty to God and demands willing sub- mission to his sovercignty. There is no room for-two thrones in any life, and God must be supreme. Before Him we must bow with submissive hearts and obedient lives. This first commandment is the bedrock of religion Loyalty In Worship law requires loy- alty in worship. It is not a pro- hibition to merely make "any graven image." It is prohibition to make and bow down to them and serve them. God's second He will supreme God is a jealous God. tolerate no rival in the place in man's affections Not only the siuner suffers for his iniquity but his children and remote posterity. But God is ready to turn the miscries that come to us from our father's sins into a blessing if we yield to Him, Moreaver this law of heredity brings mercy to the children and descendants of those who love God and keep His commandments. Words summoned the "before God" for his words. He calls upor Israel to fear Jehovah and to serve Him. The, people assertea most positivly their choice of Jehovah and that they would not forsake Him. Joshua's Farewell Joshua people farewell Joshua knew how lightly people could make an apparently earnest resolution like this, and so de- mands that they consider what they are doing. The people still persisted "we will serve Jehovah." Joshua was a thorough dealer with souls and still was not satisfied. He told them that they were wit- nesses against themselves. Many witnesses against our- "selves: we profess entire conse- cration to God but we do not prac- tice it. In view of their resolution to serve Jehovah Joshua demanded that they at once put away the strange gods that were among them. : ' Jesus Tests His People When Jesus saw a great multi- tude following He decided to ap- ply a test, a test of supreme love for Himself and consequently a life of self-denial in" His service. Discipleship meats separation from the world, from all worldly tier which hinder our pure devo- tion to Christ--even family ties, if need be. Nothing is to be allowed to come. between us and our Lord. How Can 1? By Annc Ashley (). How can I prevent rugs from wrinkling? A. Dissolve 1 part of commoa glue with 10 parts of warm water.
