The stranger at the door was a man in store clothes, Though un- known to Sheriff Lande, he was Clarke Weber, newly arrived set- tler in Deep Water Valley. The sheriff opened the door for his visitor to-.cnter and lit the oil Lamp. "Welk Ysire? he snapped. "L.thought maybe you'd give me a little official information." "About what," the sheriff asked. "Rewards!" Weber's grin was wise and boastful, "I want to know where I stand if I deliver to=you a man worth money in several states--say five thousand here, and ten thousand over in New Mex, and fifteen thousand down Texas way. Lixactly what would I get?" Lande's temper was testy, "What in tarnation you want to know © that for?

"I'd rather not say right now." / - * = Suddenly Lande, with a growl deep in. his throat, darted behind Weber. 1le-pushed the man away from the outer door and twisted the key in the lock. Lande clutched the man by the scruff "of the neck and the seat of the pants. He half pushed and half kicked the stunned | Weber across - the floor, shoved him into' the cage and banged and locked the door. - 'Reckon you better change your mind," Lande snapped. "Till you do, you're under arrest. Maybe you didn't figure that concealing the "vhercabouts of any wanted man is as good as working in ca- hoots with him." ~ Until Lande had blown out the light and returned to bed, Weber was undecided what to do, He could sce. gold dollars sliding through his greedy fingers, and the thotght pained him.

He's a better .one." Lande sweng his feet to the floor. "He shot your iron away, huh? That why your paw is bandaged?" "Yeah," Weber admitted. "I came upon him just after he had finished firing a tobacco drying shed. And TI also believe he hung ~ a young fellow on Don Attero's Cross."

There are so many variations of character indicated in this script that his be- haviour will probably bewilder you at times and cause 'you to wonder whether he'is as sincere as he pro- fesses ta be. He probably does not understand himself as he should and if his actions are mysterious and unsettled, there is a reason for it. : ' + + Just look at the writing below. See how spacious the script is and how far flung the letters and words are. There is nothing cramped about his writing. How could any- one expect this fellow to narrow his thoughts and actions down to ~a common cause, to follow a single line of thought, to concentrate on one thing for a long ; "riod of time. What he desires most is plenty of room to think, to broaden his knowledge, to cover a lot of ground just as he has so clearly indicated by the spaciousness of his writing, Now we have the anwer to his unsettled nature.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the most astound- ing miracle That He, whose side was' pierced, rose from the grave after three days; nevermore to die, sealed 'the fact of His divinity. No wonder the chief priests and elders bribed the soldiers to. tell that the 'body was stolen away while they slept. His resurrection is set forth in the Scriptare as a prophecy that we too, shall rise from the dead at His appearing in glory. It js also a type and a symbol of the Christian life even now. It is this last sense that is emphasized in this lesson, "If ye be risen with Christ, seek those. }- things which are above -- set your affection on things above, not on * things on the earth." We must have clothes, "houses, cars, etc, but we need not set our hearts upon them, If we are possegsors of eternal life, our aspirations are higher. * * . Paul exhorts those who are risen with Christ in this newness of life. 'We must be merciful, kind, humble, meek, long-suffering and forgiving. Holding all 'these graces is divine love, which is the bond of perfect- ness. God's peace is to be the umpire in-our hearts. We are to be thank- ful. _ , N In such hearts there is music. Psalms, hymns and spiritual song are the vehicles of expression for the' music. within. Some are poor singers and .yet have the singing heart. 2 * . . "He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives "to-day! He walks with' me and talks with me along _life's narrow way. He lives, He Mes, salvation to im- part! . You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart."
