The sweet morning air coming in through the window lift- ed the soft hair on her forehead; she was pale but her blue eyes shone. Sometliing in his look and his manner angered her. "I know why, Janet" e ex- claimed bitterly. "I'm sorry. Ma.\, 1 must go â€" I'll sec you again at breakfast." He caught her wrist violently. "You shan't gol You're in love with that fellow!" "You've no right to say that to nic!" Jane flashed at him angrily; then she remembered that he had been ill, and relented. "It's all over, Max; can't we I friends?" He shook his head, folding his arms and standing [here, motion- less. His expression was sullen, but there was a strange light in his dark eyes. "Oh, if you don't want to be friends!" Jane turned away proud- ly. "I'm going out now. Max!" She lifted her chin scornfully. He was behaving like a sulky boy, she thought; she liked to see a man lose like a good sport, like â€" well, like ; brave man! Stcnhart said nothing at all, but she was aware of his tall figure mo- tionless there behind her. She felt his eyes on her back, but she hur- ried away, ran down the slope to the stable and swun;, herself into the saddle. "I'll be back presently. Jose." said she lightly, giving Te.x his head. * ♦ » The vacgucro stood watching her ride off. a smile on his dark fjace. "She some ridei !" he thought. Tex had cleared the bridge al- most at a bound. The horse was full of pep today, ready to run, but Jane rode like a boy. The man stood watching, shadi g his eyes with a hand burnt black by the sun. He was surprised at tlie way she went. So surprised that he jumped when a voice spok sharply at his elbow. "Saddle one of tlie horses, I want one right ofi!" The vacqucro stared. "You able to ride, Mecster Stcnhar':" "Get a move on you! Saddle up, I've got to go with Miss Keller and she's way ahead n !" Jose grinned, saddling a steady horse for this sick man. "He catch up with scnorita, cli?" The grin widened into silent laughter. But he was amazed at the ease with which Stcnhart mounted; he did not know that sheer rage can carry even a sick man far. * * 9 The flame of jealousy within him leaped up and tortured him. He saw nothing of the beauty of the day, the near hills green a^id brown, the distant blue peaks against the blue sky, the shadows in the can- yons, the wooded spurs, the slopes of Las PaloTiias falling behind him. Presently his horse forded a wide stream. It ran swiftly, and it seemed to him his ear caught the sound of a cataract somewhere in the ravine, then he saw Jane so close ahead that he reined in vio- lently. His hors? plunged and he was near discovery. But, happily for him, the girl took no thought of being followed; she had found an unused trail and turned into it. For an instant Stcnhart thought he h.'.d lost her and is heart beat stormily, then he sighted her through tlic trees. He dismounted, hid his horse in the brush and fol- lov/cd on foot. Ten yards up the trail she had slipped from th sad- dle and vanished up a steep ascent. Passing Tex, where he was crop- ping grass, Stcnhart crept after her, treading softly, and, as he climbed, the tuiinilt of the taract came nearer am' nearer it must be below him now, hidden by the trees. Far up he caught a glim- se of a slender figure still ahead and he followed doggedly. ♦ * ♦ Shcrwin had slept heavily, phys- ically exhausted, and it was sunrise v.hen he awoke. I'lic solitude ol the wooded height seemed drenclw cd in peace. He saw only greal tree-trunks about him, and the sun had not yet penetrated their dense shade. Somewhere a bird sann sweetly. For a moment it seei -d impossible that he had fallen asleep with hatred in 1 is heart, but hi- first waking consciousness brought it all back; he was to stay here, hidden, imtil he killed Stcnhart! Nothing less would satisfy lii*^ thirst for vengeance. He opened his food pack and ate sparingly; there was a lovely sprini.' close at hand, and he lacked foi nothing now. His meal finished he rose and began to explore the place; it was evident that Jordan had not returned. There was no sound but those iimumerable small noises of life in the woods, and the music of the cataract far below him. He moved on in p 'ound lei- sure, and since he did not now in- tend flight he had ample time on his hands. » ♦ ♦ Presently he came upon a rocky ledge and, as he climbed, his foot slipped, and he rolled down into some brambles and felt a strong current of air. Only slightly bruised from his fall, he rose to his knees and found that he had torn the brambles away from the open mouth of a cavern. The keen breeze that came from it lifted the hair on his forehead; there must be another opening somewhere. Curiosity made liini explore carefull-y. No one had known of this spot; it was webbed with cobwebs, chocked with roots, and he pushed them aside and entered, stooping. To his surprise, he found himself in a cavern of lonsiderable size. Away from it ran a passageway through which the wind blew keen- ly. He struck a match, found an old bit of wood on the floor, the broken root of some tree, and suc- ceeded in firing it. Carrying liis improvised torch carefully, he ex- plored and found a twisting passage that led downward a long way. He could not follow it to the end with- out more light; his torch was fail- ing him, and he recollected the candle in Mac's cabin. * ♦ * He turned back at once. He had chanced on an ideal hiding place and he must know it thoroughly, know, too, if Jordan had found the other opening, hjiierging. he re- arranged the screen of brambles and made his way, more cautiously, toward the cabin. There was al- ways the possibility that Jordan or his pals might return there. But it was vacant, and he had ample time to look for what lie needed most, candles and matches. He found only the one half-burnt candle and two matches, evidently tossed there by the watcher after he had lighted his pipe. There was an old blanket, a remnant of Mac's ramping â€" out there, and a coil of rope. Sherwiii stood still, staring at that coil of rope; suddenly it had an immense significance â€" it brought into his mind a full-fledged scheme of vengeance! The cave and the rope!

Clarke column I ihought it might be a good idea to open the hatchway and lei my little chickens out for their first run. Judging by my early chicks, who took a' nit three days to pick up enough courage to r.a in and out freely, I was sure this brood would react in just about the ..anie way. But f didn'i k ow my chickens. It e lly wasn't such a good idea â€" as I found out when 1 went back about half-an- liour later. There were about thirty of them out in the run and two others chasing around th; backyard with one of the big chick- ens as an escort. The little rascals must have squeezed through a knot -hole^â€" there wa; no other way t1 ey could i ." got out. The next thing was to catch them. If you liavn'i already doi.e it, try catching little chicks running loose in long ^, Tss. It is i|uite a stunt. By the time I had them cornered the chicks were still quite active but 1 waj nicel. out of broath. Then il looked like rain â-  â-  I decided !t would c better to run them alii back into the pen. 'N'.iff said about that little job â€" and to think tlitti ten short days ago those same chickens v. e r e innocent-looking This particular breed of chicken'- arc hybridsâ€" a cross between New Hampshircs and Barred Rocksâ€" i • very first time I have experi- mented with chicks I. other than Barred Rocks. Already the female of the species look like rcgulai young pullets. I exiiect they will be laying eggs in a wck or two at' the rate they are naturiiig. It 1r far more fun watchi ur this buiicJi.^ develop than just plain Rocksij- ''Tiey even seem to have "a'little ' intelligence â€" which is unusual for. chickens. But soineihing seems to tell me I may be ir for a hap|iv time, just the same. * + And from cliickens we come to the combined subjects of eggs, manure ttid a finger-wave â€" except that the order should be reversed. It was like thisâ€" I was sitting un der the dryer at the hair-dresser.-i and thumbing my way through a magazine .'igest, when my atten tion was caught by an article deal ing with products of the soil, which stated that armers were using too little manure and too much com- mercial fertilizer, and that as a re- sult a circle of Vitamin B. defic- iency was beinc set in motion. Be cause in fficient maiu're was be- ing used oi. the lauu cattle "razing oi. pasiiire were not getting their natural vitamins. This meant less vitamins in iiilk, beef and butter. Hens kept in clo. e quarter^ and fed commercial feed., and on grain lacking in vitamins were also affec- ted with ^ r"sult that eggs were less nutritious than th se that wc used to get in the oh' days whe'i Biddies h. d the rii of the barn- yard and scratched thtir time away in what were considered as the most II 'lo places. * * « Now what I am leading u( to i.- this: The egj busiiiess has become a highly specialist. > business in deed. To be sure of oblaininu first gra â-  eggs the hens must be kept shut iir at all imc . The for inula for their feed is prepared as carefully as a baby's. Thev must .ilways have clean litter in which tc' sciatch, clean water to <lrink. in fact notliiu', must be left for thcr II/ get at wliicli would in any way contaminate the eggs which they produce. The result is lemon-col- oured yolks, which is what the graders demand in a Grade A. egg. If the yolk is dark yellow then it is classified as "heavy" -id put down as Grade B. One wonders if, in our desire for purity products, wc are swinging too far the other v. ay. By trying ..Iways to improve on nature are we defeating our own ends, ch.atiiig ourselves of the rudiments of healthful living? * * Just recently Partner has been pretty busy with the scythe cutting down weeds and long grass which he has gat'iered up and thrown in to the heuj. And how they love it. They are neve.- tired of picking at it â€" but they are eating far less laying-mash. As a result we are now gettilig eggs with almoit or- ange colour yolks, eggs rich in vitamins and minerals, because, as everyone knows there is no better St urce for disease-resisting qual- ities than fresh green grass. The hens are getting it, passing it along to the eggs, the people who eat the eggs will benefit. But we shall lose out because the rich dark-look- ing yolks will be put down as Grade B. c. gs. But Partner says, because he knows the grass is good fo the hens, they"; going to get it for a few weeks, anyw.iy.

Christ's Farewell Feast This was tlirist's great farewell feast of love, the last intercourse with His disciples before His cap- ture, condemnation and death. This is the last Passover our Lord will eat on earth. He will not partake in any further festivities till He rejoices in the completed Kingdom. This bread which Christ took represented the offering up of His broken body as an atonement for our sins. He g; ve Himself, His whole ')eing, for our sins. It was the sacrifice of Himself. His blood was about to be shed and there was but a short time before His great atoning work would be con- sumated on Calvary and in His resurrection. Christ had revealed God's name to His disciples. They were God's not simply by creation, but His children because they had believed on His Son and received Him into their hearts and liv:s. Jesus now turns from praying for Himself to praying for His immediate followers. Jesus had re- vealed to them the nature and character of God. This lay at the foundation of all lat He had done for tlicm. While our Lord on His part had revealed God to them, they on their part had kept God's word. Christ gave to His disciples not the results of His reasoning but words direct from God. We can not afford to make light of Christ's words or to doubt them, because they are God's words. Prayer Of Intercession The vision and faith of the Lord embraced the wliole church to the end of time. We wlio believe to-day were in the mind of the Saviour in His great intercessory prayer. The prayer was for all who should in any age oelieve in Him as their Saviour. Believers in the days to come should become His followers through the word of the apostles. Jesus' prayer for all believers was that they might all be one. He longed and prayed for the unity of His disciples in all times. This prayer has been largely answe.red. Beneath. all seeming differences all true followers of Jesus are one. Through the unity o' Christians the world was to be brought to be- lieve that God had sent Jesus. A Church is an unanswerable argu- ment for the Christian faith. The Health Way Nutrition experts say that the value of vegetables is enhanced if they are cooked in their jackets, in very little water, with the lid on the saucepan. They are against peeling vegetables, claiming that this wastes not only food itself but takes away something fom the food quality, too.
