Blenhart revealed that h», not Sherwin, had killed his iiiicU, be- cause the uncle waa KolnR to cnaiiKe a will leaving; money to Shcrwln. The sheriff took the handcuffs off Sherwin iind Jane lifted hi?r head- CHAPTER XXII He raised his liead and tlicir eyeg met. For an instant lie seemed dazed, then he rose to his feet. "You've come to meâ€" a prison- er?" "I sawr you," she said; "I'm so proud of youl" He drcwr a long breath. "Jane, you did itl I'd vowed to kill hira â€"I'd tracked him like a murderer â€" I had nothing in my heart but hate. I was waiting to kill him when you came up there, but when 1 found you cared, your touch drove out the poisonâ€" I couldn't do itl" She looked up proudly. "You didn't know yourself, John, even I didn't know you, for when I mw you there, waiting for him, 1 thought you'd kill him. But it was never really in your heart, John Sherwin, for you're a brave man â€" no brave man is a murderer! You've â€"made good." He smiled bitterly. "You forget whatâ€" I am!" always!" Kniotion choked him, then, in a broken voice: "It means only mis- ery for you to care; I'm as good as a dead man. Forget me, Jane, be happy!" "Never," she answered softly. "Always I'll remember â€" until we meet again!" * • « He held her hands in a grip that almost hurt them, looking down into hor brave eyes. "Yo^^ gave up your chance for him â€" and he's dying, John. Jordan'* shot will kill him." Sherwin was dumb, his head bowed in utter despair. "Oh, if I could only get you out!" she murmured brokenly, then with sudden hope. I've thought of a way â€" there used to be a ahut- tercd window back here â€" " nhe ran to the wall, feeling it â€" "it's here â€" you're strong â€" come!" she whia- . pcrcd. His heart leaped. Libertyl It would not give her to him, but free, he might carve out a destiny, retrieve something yet. His hands actually shook as he followed her guidance. In the darkening room he could just see the fastenings, old and covered with dust, half papered over. It resisted and he drew his table fork â€" they had not allowed him a knlft â€" along the crevices. At last he released the shutter, turned it softly and looked out. He faced an open slope and the light from another window streamed across it. Sherwin drew back with a grim smile. "They've beaten us, Janel" * * * A man was sitting there, with his rifle across his knees. The sheriff, having caught a jail-breaker, was faking no chances. Jane was crying bitterly now, but Slicrwin tried to comfort her. "At best, I'd have been only a hunted fugitive, dear girl! we must part â€" " He could not go on. Her sobs shook him with an even deeper emotion. There came a soft knock at the door and old Mac's voice, a bit husky. "Time's up, Jane, an' the doc's here; he says Stcnharl's dy- in' â€" they want you!" "God keep you!" .Sherwin said hoarsely; .ill otlier words failed. 'J'he girl, blind with tears, stuiiiblcd out, old Mac holding her up. "N'o, I remember! Some day it will come right; the truth can't be always hidden. I'll believe in you "'ihcy're callin' for you, Jane," the old man explained. "I had to conic all fired quick. Jim's got th' sheriff an' two others, two that come with th' posse. Teresa's say- in' prayers wilh two candles in th' kitchen an' Ah Ling's outside, chattcrin' something awful in Chinee." As he spoke he guided the fal- tering girl on to the verandah and opened the door. A flood of light streamed out. Jim was sitting su- pinely at his desk, sagged in hl- chair. Beside him towered the big sheriff, and a deputy was writing something on a paper at the table. Jane, coming in, half dazzled and blind with weeping, felt Fanny's arms go around her. "He's dead, Jane; it's over â€" Jim, tell her!" Jim, speechless, made a sign to Cutler. "You do itl" But the big sheriff had lost his nerve 1 he only made motions with his lips like chewing. It w Fanny who drew Jane down beside her on a bench by the door. "He told us before he died, Jane," she said, "and the deposition was taken â€" he confessed to the murder of hit uncle. It was ^one in the garden; the man who swore that Max was with him at the time was a perjurer, paid by Max. His they quarreled violently, and the old man struck him with his cane, as he would a little boy. Infuriated, Max snatched the pruning-knife and struck back without thinking. He killed him I He ran out and hid. saw Sherwin come, and the scheme to save himself and get the money leaped into his crazed brain. He terly innoeent!" For a moment Jane neither moved nor spoke. She hid her face in her hands. "Oh, Fanny, think of all those yearil" she gasped at last. Fanny nodded. "I know I Max used to tell us in his delirium; Teresa heard it, too. I thought it uncle quarreled with him and told him that he was going to change hit will and leave every cent he had to Sherwin. Max broke out, was the worry of the trial â€" de- lirium, fever dreams â€" but old Ter- esa always believed itl" Jiln, who had not spoken at all, rose suddenly and went out. With him went the sheriff and his two deputies. The two girls were alone. Fanny, trying to still Jane's broken sobs, put her arms about her again. "He's suffered so much!" Jane said, "and he gave up his chance to escape today to save Max! Think of it, to save the man who had swore to a lie to save himself; lu framed it all up â€" .Sherwin was ul- ruincd him!" I-'anny touched her softly on the shoulder. "Look up, Jane!" The girl lifted her head. The door stood open and on the thresh- old, erect and radiant, stood Sher- win.

Clarke The binder is back in the driv- ing shed; the wheat is in the barn: the spring grain is cut and stooked and the putt-putt of threshing ma- chines is heard once again in the land. Incidentally it is the first week in August. By the end of the month â€" D. V. and weather per- mitting â€" harvest will be a thing of the past. And that fact is wor- thy of note because harvest seems to come earlier with each succeed- ing year Twelve or fifteeen years ago farmes were quite satisfied even if harvest ran well into Sep- tember Now they feel something is wrong unless the work is all done in a couple of weeks. On many farmers including our own tractors are used to draw the bin- der. Horses are hitched only for cutting the first two rounds in each field. Then they are turned out to graze again. So far we hav- en't heard the horses voice any complaint about it. How glad I shall be to see the last load of grain in the barn â€" glad because of Partner. He will work hard as long as there is work to do even though we beg him not to. Not that I try to persuade him to sit down and do nothing. But there is a difference in work- ing and stopping when you feel like it and working against time on a job that you know must be done. It takes a stubborn En- glishman to work the way Part- ner is working right now. ,\nd speaking of I'.nglislimcn. . . Bob was driving a certain gentleman to Malton to catch a T.T.C. plane. The plane left at nine o'clock but Mr. Blank wished to be at the airport by seven at the l.\tcst. Bob said to me â€" "Is Mr. Blank an Englishman?" "I believe so," I answered. "I thought so,' was Bob's cryp- tic remark, "no one but an En- glishman would want to get there two hours ahead of time!" * * * Bob. I niiglit add, has a great respect and admiration for the English people as a whole yet at the same time some of their tra- ditions and characteristics frankly "get his goat". Naturally we have a good many friendly family ar- guments as a result which gener- ally wind up with each of us sitcking to our own original opin- ions. W'iicn Dangliler comes along we have more arguments â€" but gener- ally on the labour situation. I have never heard her say that she is definitely in favour of strike action hut she docs contend that labour doesn't get a square dealâ€" and of course she has many spec- ific cases to prove her point. Now we have neices Joy and Betty slaying with us and from them we j et interesting informa- tion rather than arguments. Joy is doing l'"ield work with the Vic- torian Order of Nurses in Hamil- ton and llnoiigh her we are get- ting much better acquainted with the splendid work for which tlui organisation is responsible. • * * Belly has come liere sir.iiglii from a four weeks' visit to a iniii ing camp near Val DO'r in One bee, of which her dad has charg- I'roni her we hear plenty of live ly stories about canoe trips; Iron bic in geting camp cooks: dfficul ties of conversing with minei's fa milies who speak no I'.nglish; tin fun of sleeping in a sleeping bag; and the lack of the most ordinary comforts and conveniences. Ap- parently the only telephone in the district was in her Dad'* office â€" and it didn't work! As for hy- dro â€" well, that was something that the folk up there didn't even think about. When the time came for her to pay us a visit it was evi- dently quite a problem to arrange the journey back to civilization. There was first a truck ride to Val Do'r; then an automobile ride to Kirk lad Lake; a bus ride to Swastika and finally a train trip from Swastika to Toronto. Daughter met her in Toronto and phoned me that Betty would be coming by bus. But the but tick- ets were all sold out so Betty fin- ally arrived by train â€" a much travelled young lady indeed â€" and not yet si.xteen. * * * Well, it's time I did a little tra- velling too â€" but alas, only around the chicken pens. I think I shall have to find myself a magic car- pet so that I may go places and see things â€" and be back in time to feed chickens and get supper for two hungry men. Death To Spies The L'.S.

Sunday School Lesson The Sacrednest of Human Life Exodus 20:13; Matthew 5:51-24; 28-31; 18: 10-H Golden Text â€" But I say unto you. That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. â€" Matthew 5:22. The Sixth Commandment In the Sixth Commandment lies the principle of the sacredness of human life and every man's right to live until he forfeits tnat right. According to Christ's interpreta- tion of this commandment who- ever has hate in his heart has the root of muider in him. The one who wishes another dead is essentially the same as the one who puts his wish into action and kills him. Human Life Sacred By the old law murder was for- bidden; by the higher law of the kingdom anger is forbidden. Terms of contempt whereby a brother's feelings are injured ana his repu- tation endangered are forbidden. Nothing more clearly reveals the heart, whether it is full of love or full of selfishness, envy and hate, than the way in which we speak about others and to others. If we have wronged another in the smallest matter so that "he hath ought against us," we should first be reconciled to him before we seek to bring an offering to God. Fear Not One of the most frequently oc- curring messages in the Bible is "Fear Not". Our Lord wishes His disciples to be without fear. Our enemies may be very strong and very unscrupulous but we need never fear them; God is on our side. God's care extends to the minutest things, even to "the spar- row," and to the minutest things about ourselves. The Duty of Love The duty of love was enjoined by Jesus in His remarks on the child and the kingdom. For the little ones in the kingdom we must do more than simply see that they are not abused. We must cherish and help them. Does not a good shepherd leave his ninety-nine sheep in safety and search the mountain wildt for the one that is lost? And when success ends the search, the shepherd's Joy is great- er over the one found than over the many not lost. Little ones are very near to God. It is against the Father's will that a single child should go astray. It is the Father's will that all should be saved; that young and old should all turn unto Him and live. If any perish it will be be- cause of their refusal to repent. ISSUE 33â€"1946 How Can I? By Anne Ashley O. How can 1 keep house plants watered while away from home for several days? A.
