"Ridiculous ideal' Jini gowled; "I neec you inore than these sick people'" She had not yet appeared -'nd it angered him to fed that perhaps she did not want a te e-atctc just now. He rose from the table, thrusting his hands into his pockets., and walked to and fro in the ha. He began to be inorc and moi . puzzled by his sister's rbstnce. "She went on h rseback â€" long w bile ago." Teresa told him. Jim though of llie rustlers. "Where'. Mic?" 'At shot the question at Jose, who had come in from the stables with a message. "Gone down to ih' corrals, Mees ter Keller." "Did you sec Miss Jane go?" "Si, scncj." Jose relapsed intc his native tor.gue. "You saddled foi her. I sup pose.

Jim walked out on lie veranda and looked towards the bridge; she might be oming .in iie by now. The sunshine was wonderful, it dazzled Mm for a in .ment; then he saw Stenhart coming across the bridge, urging his liorsc. He w«s aloncl Jim w nt half way down the slope to meet him. "Hello, ^fa> " he shouted inx iously, "where's Jane?" Stenhart made no reply he swung himself dowi from the saddle, looking haggard. "Come ii.to the house," he said thickly; too many men about out here I" Jim w'lilciKil; lie had a strange foreboding. VVitliou a word he turned with .'tciiharl toward the h< use, and once he had to steady the man on his feet, he was so ex- hausted. They entered the dim old hall an.; Stenhart flung himself into a chair, gasping. Jim otood in front of him with a set face. * • * "Kor Gou' sake, speak out Max I" he exclainai'. What's up? Where's my sister r' Slenliarl, getting his breath, an swcrcd with cold fury. "She's lip ll f nuiiiiitaiiiside with jherwin," Jim drew a hard lirtath. He wi fi.rious, but he :oiilr- l'-;d li>msclf, sat down on the edj of his desk and Ifjokcd attentively at Stenhart [t occurred to him that the man might be i a fever from undue exertion and not responsible. "Will you kindly explain your self?" he said gravely; "you're speaking of my sister." "I'm telling you nolhing but the truth," Stenlurt replied stubbornly. "She and had a quarrel this morning. She left me lo go out on horseback. 1 followedâ€" 1 had it in mind to overtake her, to try to make it up â€" you understand?" he stoppeo, biting his lips, and Jim made an impatient gesture of assent. "Go on I" he exclaimed. Stenhart did not look at him. He stared at the bright rectangle of the jpei, door ano his fingers drummed c. the arms of his chair. •'♦ • * "She w . a long way ahead, rid- ing fast. I followed; ahe didn't know it. Presently she turned into a mountain t.ail and dismounted; I could see her through the trees. I got down off my horse and fol- lowed; I thought to overtake her on foot more easily. The frail U difficult. It ascends more sharply. I found it hard clinjbin." and she got far ahead. Half -vay up I heard voices and stood still â€" I wasn't ai> intentional eavesdropper." He drew a hard jrcath. "I saw them â€" Sherwin had met her I" Jim stifftiied. "Yof mean that my sister, ^oing out alone, as she often does, chanced to meet this â€" this convict?" Stenhart lifted a graj face, there was no doubt now of the misery in his eyes. "She loves him, Jim I' Jim struck his open hand on the desk. "Thai's an intolerable thing f< r even an old friend to sav Max!" Max met his eyes steadily. "It's the truth, 'jim!" And then he added chokingly: "I know!" The sheer passion of that cry, its defeat, its bitterness, carried conviction. For an .nstanl Jim, usually so even tempert , stared at him; then he sworr softly and seized the cicphone-reccivcr. Stenhart snatchr at his arm "What ai .• you going to do? ♦ ♦ « Jim .••hook Iiini otf "Get the sheriff after him; I 'kiiow about where Cutler is â€" Hcllol Yes?"

"Come iia'kl" he exclaimed, "you're ill. ' But Stenli rt was cliiiibii â-  into the saddle again; as he mounted he turned a while face towaris Jim. "I'm going to meet the sheriff; he doesn't get away this liiiiel" "Max- I s..yl" Jim wanted 'o direct this thing himself. Even in his rage he reme.nbered Sherwin saving liiii that first night; but Sl"nliart was off at a gallop, sway- ing in the saddle. The tlii.ig was done! Jim turned back, thinking grii.i'. of Jane. II she really tared â€" he wondered what they would do with an es- caped convict in I'liode Island. As his rage cooled he thouglii of Jane; he must get her before the posse arrived. He heard Sten- hart's horse gallop across the bridge. (To be lontimicd) Joy for Junior Small fry arc going to love this They can get their vitamins out ol sirawberrie and cream instead ol spinach.

Sunday School Lesson CHRONICLES ol GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Jesus' Attitude Toward the Law Deuteronomy 6: 4-9; Matthew 5: 17-19; Mark 10: 17-22. Golden Text. â€" Think not I am come to cicflroy the Law or the Pr phets: J am not come to ae- stroy, but to fulfil. â€" Matthew 5:17. The Basic Law. Every man's first duty is to love God, supremely,, with t\\ his affec- tion, intellect and scrength. "These \ ords" which Moses commanded the children of Israel were God's words. God's wordi laid up in the heart will keep us Irovr sin in our lives. The next thing to do with God's word is to teach it to others and especially to those foi whom we are particulary responsible, our own children: we should not only teach it but we snould teach it with diligence, earnestness and care. The most important part of a child's education is the education received in tlit home. The Rich Ruler The rich ruler who came to Christ was eager tc know the truth. He was hun.ble and rever- c for he kneeled before Christ. 1 was utterly sincere for he had kept the Law outwardly. He had lived an honest and upright life, and none could accuse him of pub licly violating any of the Ten Com- mandments. This youth loved his wealth for it brought him luxury and power. But he wan^s to be assured of eter- nal life. Christ puts him to a sev- ere test, saying, there is but one thing to do, sacrifice all your earthly possessions for the sake of the poor and lay up treasure in Heaven. Test of Loyalty The young man was asked to leave the old life of ease, luxury and power behind hiir. and to take up the cross, the iymbol of suffer- ing and sorrow, and follow Christ in the path of self-sacrifice. The youth's cross would be vol- untary poverty; but it was too heavy for him to lift. He could not carry it bee:. use he was weighed down with his gold and riches. So he went away grieved, for he was hopeful that Christ would answer his question "what shall I do that I may inherit eter- nal life?" to his own satisfaction. He "went away grieved" and we feel that the heart of Christ was grieved also. TABLE TALKS . .

In tests made last fall in Washington it harvested 250 pounds per hour against 100 pounds picked by the average hi.nd. A special hose sucks the b.rries off the vines and conveys them into a rubber-lined coi tainer. A cleaning attachment dr.iws off the weeds and dust. The liiids are not disturbed. It will be ntccssary (o adapt thv machine to eastern bogs, where vines grow longer and berries cling tightly together. And now it's suiiin er . . . the 111 111 of mowers is heard through- out tlio land . . . the fragrance of new mown hay fills the air . . . bobolinks sing the .vlioL day long and the early chickens are rapidly pi.tiinK on that extra flesh which brings them every .^y a little nearer to their inevitable end in the frying pan. I am sitting by our front door â€" that is, behind it, so that the screeiiiiig protects me from any flics and mosquitoes that may be hovering around â€" and from which partially 1 idfien vantage point there is much to see and hear. Just now a plane, flying low, zoomed its way westward It gives OLt a comfortable fe.:ling to know it is on .. peaceful mission and not on a practise flight for ultimate destruction. * * * A cat-bird is callin;; from the poplar tree. A canai /, unbeliev- ably yellow, flits from shrub to shrub; a Uttle Arren is very busy on the lawn, and somewhere around the corner a pair of cedar waxwings are chipping cheerfully. I have been watching the antics of those same waxwings for over week. You see I ,>ut the head of an old dust mop through the wash and to hasten the dryi.ig I put it on top of the chicken pen roof in the hot sun The waxw-ngs thought that was the real McCoy. The tough fibre strings oi the mop were just what Momma ordered to line her nest, and so they come back time after time, wing.s butter- ing as -f to give them greater strength as they tug vigorously with their sharp beaK: to pull the long threads loose from the mop. From which you may gather the mop is still on the chicken pen roof. That's right â€" it is. It had practically outlived its usefulness anyway, and I am certainly getting more satisfaction from watching the waxwings at work than 1 would ever find in pushing that same mop around the floors. » • » Now what else is there to see; Oh yes, there arc some weeds over there that have got Partner wor- ried. No, 1 don't mean chicory or thistlesâ€" we have got past worry- ing about them. The two weeds I refer to are "stink-weed" and mustard. Mustard is one weed we have never had very much of on this farm, and stinkweed not at all uniil the last two years But we saw plenty of it out vVtst â€" more to our i rrow â€" and tbi' reason we are worried : bout it now is because it much o» it gets into Ontario pasture fields and th- cows eat it, then it will taint the milk. Out West we sola crean. all the time and more than once we bad a can of cream rejected because of "stink-weed taint". So of course you can quite uiidfrsiand why Partner is disturbed at its som.;- what suducn appearance here in Ontario. * * * . The next thing i., â€" how did it get here? Well, of ;-irse we can't prove anyihingâ€" but we suspect a lot. For this reason; the . nly place where we <ind stink ,\ eed and mustard giowiiig on ou. farm is where 1 scattered feed for the chickens the last two vears. And the grain 1 was feed'ng was West- ern wheat! J he conclusion we tr rived at is obviou.s. In ca.-.e you are inter .-stcd â€" oi alarmed - stinkweed has a small ,vhite cluster of blossoms very similar to that ot Shepherd's purse. The seed-Dods are flat, almost heart-shapi., a quartr to three eighths of an inch acre ss. and io^nt during the month of June. I suppos. the weed has a iiotani cal name but we â-  vei heard it. It was ilvavs "stinkAied" â€" a vulgar hut descriptiM name in- deed.
