"Why, I always thought you lords of all creation were worth millions," Bartle sneered. 'Tatkel' tried to keep his temper, but it was difficult. He felt the hot blood of rese"htment suffusing his face. "Listen to me I" he made a final plea. "We ranchers can raise maybe seventy-five thousand cash between us. We'll buy â€" " * « « "Three hundred am- fifty thousand •â€" or nothing." Bartle's smile was Infuriatingly triumpl'.ant. Haskell could stand no more of the banker. He turned and trudged heavily to the door. "I've had my say," he growled over his shoulder.

ISSUE •â€" I94t â-  Y N • e O L K battle there would be safety, profits for himi As the cold gray of daybreak paled t" z eastern sky, sober-faced, solemn, bitterly silent riders converged on Pete Haskell's Half Circle H Ranch in the north end of Deep Water Valley. Pete Haskell himself, with Tim Callan, whj had ridden home with him from Gold Creek, solemnly greeted each new arrival who swung down from his horse and entered the ranchhouse. Twice Haskell sur- veyed the big room which, big as it was, soon became uncomfortably crowded with these men of the raage who had ridden here at his behest and were waiting for him to tell them what he had in mind. • • * "I have been palavering with Russ Bartle," Haskell began seriously. "But I didn't get anywhere. He knows he's got the whip hand, and he aims to use the whip." Luke Wallace edged closer to the table over which Haskell spoke. "Did you offer to buy all the Jorth end of the valley â€" as we sug- gested?" he asked. "Yeah, I did." Haskell's lips tightened grimly. "But Russ has been bookkeeping so everlasting much that he hasn't got any re- spe.t for anything less than six figures crowding one behind the other. The price of the north end of the vallej- â€" he says â€" is three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Cash!" "That's plain higluv.iy robbery!" crit'il Wallace. "Did you tell him thtre wasn't that much n oney in this whole half of the country? inquired Cal- lan. "Of course I did," Ha-kcll an- swered. 'But I should have known enough not to. It didn't mean any- thing to him, and he cared less." "Did you tell him we wouldn't lit any tobacco farmers sijnat in the north end of the valley?" ask- ed a whiskered old-ter from the back of the roon'i, his voice qui- vering with emotion. "Yeah- I told him that" "And that it one fence uciit up to keep our cattle away from the water we've gi t a right to, that we'd take the l:av inin our own hands?" urged Luke Wallaci. ".Vol" Haskell cut liim oft. "I've been hoping that sonic of you tnen have tlioiight of sonietliing less mangy than riding rough-hod over farmers that are only ti>ing lo i make a living, after all." He paused for suggestions, glancing from man to man of the grinifaccd ranchers in front of him. "We're going to do something!" Luke Wallace barked, "an<l I'm not a young man any more, and I've been here too long to be driven out of house and home by any barbed wire. And since there's no hope of help from the law, then we've just got to forget about the law and use â€" "' * * • "I'orce?" a.sked Haskell. "Well," he Itemporizcd, "we can do one thing. As soon as a fence goes up around sweet water that we must have, that fas. we rip it down." "And if that way won't work?" Vallace snorted. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Haskell said firm- ly. He had just opened his mouth to say more when the front door burst open so unexpectedly that Haskell himself, as well as every men present, swung around as if yanked by wires. Ryes popped. Jaws dropped. Men were speech- less with a'lia.-ement. For on tlie threshold stood a man in the garb of a Spanish don of long ago, a man with flaming red hair beneath a cone-shaped sombrero, and with a red kerchief drawn up over (hri lower part of his facet .

And that, I'm afraid, will be that. Parents hare good reasons, usually, for objecting to a certain boy their daughter likes. If they don't tell her the reasons, it is because they knoiv she isn't mature enough to realise hozv important they are.

GoldenTextâ€" Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.â€" -Matth- ew 1C:IG. Last Sunday the humanity of Jesus was noted in the reference made to his birth. To-day we face the fact of the deity of Jesus Christ. This doctrine is the corner stone of Christianity. * c • What mere man dare make such statements as, "1 am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that belicveth on me shall never thirst"; "1 came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me"; 'This is the will of Him that sent me, that e.ery one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day". These words are credible only on the lips of Christ, the Son of the living God. The Saviour gare many gracious invitations but perhaps none has given comfort to more despairing hearts than the one, "Him that cometh to tne, I will in no wise cast out '.

Who are the first to leave the church when the wedding ceremony is over and the bridal party has departed up the aisle? A. The ushers escort to the door all the women who are in the first pews, the bride's mother, the bridegroom's, mother,, then, the other women in the first pew on either side of the aisle. Q. When a man is accompany- ing a woman on the street, should he take her arm when crossing the street? A. Yes. Q. Isn't it poor manners for one to sip coffee or tea while food is in the mouth? A. Yes; it is much better to wait until the mouth is clear of food. Q. Is it all right to use "Re- spectfully" or "Respectfully yours" as a close to a social letter w-ritten to a person of social position? A. No. This closing is usually reserved for a business letter. society, have seen a light in the window here. With dauntless faith and courage they have gone out to bless the world which had come to despise them. Thank God for that wonderful promise. « * * Saul wao a fierce persecutor of the disciples of Jesus. But after his conversion on the Damascus road, he became the church's most ardent missionary. He boldly af- firmed the deity of Jesus Christ who appeared to him. "We have redemption through his blood, eveo the forgiveness of sins"; he is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature"; "All things were created by him and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all ,things consist"; "That In in all things might have the pre-eminence. Foi it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell". Ko wonder Paul was thrilled with the Gospel. Be- cause of its power he is justified in challenging the church unto a "walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work." « * • After the first world war a group of men told Gypsy Smith that the world was so changed that the pro- gram of the New Testament must be shoved into the museum. An- other gospel must be written. "Who will write it?" exclaimed the Gipsy. "The one who writes the program must be willing to die for it, and have the power to rise again from the dead". The Gospel is still up-to-date because it is the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. JELL YOUR FAMILY yoa intend to make Maxwell Hoose yout* regular cofEee.
