TURNING POINT &4f, Mary Imlay Taylor SYNOPSIS CHAITKH XVIIi Jane r«turni, leariia what has happened and re- minds Jim that Sherwin snved hli life and hers. CHAPTER XVIII He had glimpsed the "iteep fcide of the precipice at last, and seen what his sister 'lad bieii wiitching. Sherwin was siai.ding beside a cliff. hiKh on th? trail Below hl;n, two hundred feet, dashed the cataract; along the narrow, dizzy led^e, as yet unaware of him, came Steiihart â€" aloiic! Cautiously, searching, peering this way and tha', unaw-.-e that his quarry saw him, waited for him. Jane, looking up now, saw thai ihe could pot reach Shcr'vin, could not even cry out to him. She knew of the cave -he had told her of it â€" a- a way to escape; a warning in time and they would never find him, could not trap him, but she was too i,'.te; Stcnhart would see him, Sicnhart would betray him I Stenhart, moving cautiously, foot by foot, pcring listening, 'looking back for -tip Iielp that would ne cr re;'ch hiin! Sherwin waiting. Tli^re was something in his awful patiei ce like tiiat of the tiger who waits to sprinc â€" certain of his prey. The narrow ledge showed lilv. a knife drawn in tl.e wooded height; it shon; in the sunlight al- most as keenly as the torn ribbons of spray from the torrent below them. The roar ot the cataract d':'Wncd all sound. Scream as she might, Jane could not reach the «; r.' oi the man who watched the other's slow advance. It was like a nightmare, the creeping, creeping u- that ledge to meet Death. .Tim caught his breath. A cloud had obscured the »un, and as U aaileu away he saw Sherwin's face as he crouched, leaning forward, ready! One thrust and Stenhartâ€" coming on, unaware of him â€" would go down â€" down. Jane covered her face with her hands, but it was Jim who cried out hoarsely, tried to shout a warning; then, realizing its futility, he groaned aloud. "Good God, he's goi-ig to kill him !" 1 cried. « » » Sherwin iiad stepped out from his hiding-place; he seemed to tower, vengeance incarnate. Sten- hai . stood still an instant, frozen in his tracks. His drawn pistol fell from his hand; he seemed to shrink together in mortal terror. Then, as the man 1 e had hunted n -ither moved nor spoke, he tot- tered back, stumbled and fell head- Irng over tlie narrow ledge. It had happened in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye. Shci'- w'.i, waiting for his betrayer, saw him â€" untouched, unscathed â€" ciumple up, eel backward and plunge over the edge of the pre- cipice. So swift was it, that he neither mo"ed nor spoke; for a full minute he stared blankly at the spot where Stenhart had dis- appeared. A Mrange sensation awept h'm, he grew dizzy himself; his head swam, and the hills seemei! to rise up -'}out him in awful majesty He knew nothing of the men who were creeping to- ward him through the woods; he believed hi:.isclf alo le, atone with that awful power which had seized his enemy and bru«.:ed him like a fl from the ledge I Slrwly he took a step fo^;^a^J and, steadying him- self, looked over the brink. Thirty feet below him that sol.<ary stunted tree thru.it out its dwarfed trunk from the .hcer side of the pred pice. Sprawled acri.ss it, limp, mo- tioiih ss, lif'le-ss, hung Stenhart. kprawling limbs, his h.inging head, Th • white froth of tht hniling lOr- rent below him ciitlined his his ghastly upti'rncrt fave. * * « He was not c'cad! Kven as Sher- win looked, he saw him inovr hi> head in the torture of pain and fear; it was more ;erril)le ih..n a swift wiping out of life, tor death wa . playing a game of hide and seek with nim.

In- stantly, he divined the truth; Stei^- h:irt h.,d again betrayed ltm,.they were after him. But he had ample time to reach his cave, and once there they would not gel him, for he knew the other opening and It was safe. Nor could they save Stenhart; the tree was giving I Five minutes more â€" and he would be avenged I He need not stir a finger, and Jane, who had besaught him not to slay, would know that there was no blood up< n his hands! He drew a deep breath; almost at his feet lay the roil of rope thit he had dropped when he met Jane. He »aw it and remembered the purpose had had ir mind. The minutes seemed to beat themsclvei into his brain, hi.c pulses throbbed, his lips v.'7re parched. He stooped, reached for the rope and, uncoiling it, wound ir about the great trunk of a sycamore, the.i, tossing the long end over the side of the abyss, he grasped it and began to descend, hnd over h.'nd. The rope swung out and then went taut with his weight. Little by little he lowered himself and, as he went down he glanced aside at the tree under Stenhart. It was yielding, one crack raore in the stri'.ining bark and it would snap I Swinging at the ope's end in stace, Sherwin, the avenger, risked his life.

Golden Text â€" God is a spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and la truth.â€" John 4:24. Moses' Warning Moses is led by God to warn tiic Israelites of a weakening faiih as they prospered materially. It is a grievous fault in human nature to so enjoy material bless- ings as to rest our security in them. The exhortation of our Lord is the only wise and safe rule for the individual Christian to fol- low. * Waiting Upon God In these verses the prophet Isaiah reveals the weakness of nations and men, and the majesty and power of God. He draws at- tention to the limitations of youth. Being weary does not refer to the flesh; it is the spirit which is ex- hausted. The.e is a spiritual weariness, au emptiness which the young can feel as well as the ma- ture. It was to meet this spiritual an moral exhaustion that Jesus called the weary to Himself. The wo. d ''renew" means new- ness of life. Inspired with God's enduement of the Holy Spirit we lount up", we "run and we are I t weary" in the passionate aer- vice, we "walk, and rot faint" in the common duties of life. What Is Love? Our duty lo God is summed up in one word: Love. What is love? To love another is to have a desire f' and a delight in his welfare. To love Cod with all the heart and soul and mind and strength is to have a supreme desire, for and deligh. in God's gloiy, so that everything is secondary to that. Spiritual Love T!ie Second Commandment re- quires that we have the same de- sire for and delight in the welfare of our neighbour as we have in our â-  .VII welfare. The Second Com n.anilnunt is really involved in the Tirsi, (or if we love God, whom we have not seen, \.e must love our nei hbour whom we have seen. A man cannot love God if he does not love, his neighbour for love lo God involves love to neiglihobr. There are many to-dav who call themselves Christians who lari> clear moral discernment. To see the truth clearly shows that one is not far from the Kingdom of God. \Vhen one submits to the truth he is in the Ki'igdoin. ISSUE 29â€" 194< THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY Looking for a washing machine?

Clarke I We have just said good-bye to the last of our young cockerelsâ€" that is, the last of the first hatch. We still have plenty of small birds running aroundâ€" -so we won't be lonesome for a little while yet. We are also enjoying our first shower for about three weeks â€" and oh dear, how we needed it. (By the way, I am referring to a shower of rain â€" not of bath water). The ground is terribly dry. There doesn't seem to be any moisture anywhere â€" even the leaves on the trees are wilting. But it lias been tnarvellous haying weather. To date, not one cutting of hay has been spoilt. I can't remember any thing like it before. * * * This year, for us, the summer seems to be mostly week-ends. \ mean with the various members, and near members, of our family coming along every week-end like homing pigeons, we have no sooner said "Good-bye" than we are say- ing, "Hullo, you're here again 1" And when they come there is a wild scramble for old clothes and shoes â€" overalls, shirts, slacks, any- thing at all that can be worn in the hayfield. Half the time nobody knows what belongs to whom and the result is often a general mix-up. Saturday afternoon Bert was turn- ing the house upside down hunting for the overalls he had worn the week before. He insisted I must have washed and put them away. I was equally sure I hadn't for the simple reason that I had forgotten about them. While we were still arguing Joy and the men came in with a load of hay. Daughter ex- claimed immediately â€" "Loo k, there's Bert's overalls â€" Joy's wear- ing them!" And she was â€" she was also wearing a blouse belonging to Daughter, one of my hats and a pair of sneakers which Bob had routed out from somewhere. Daughter is not quite so trampishl She generally has some kind of an outfit at home to change intoâ€" what there is of it! * < The dress parade on Sunday morning is also quite characteristic. Partner and Bob shave, bathe, and quite naturally get into something other than work clothes. Bert, the city slicker, absolutely refuses to shave and delights in wearing over- alls and an old collarless shirt. He says he has lo shave and wear a tie nearly every day of his lite. To do just the opposite is his idea of re- laxation. I'artner, on the other hand, cannot relax unless he first gels out of his work clothes. Joy's pet method of escapism is WhenArtificialLight TIRES YOUR EYES '>{EllEViE tHEM WITH XlURINE Two drops of Murine in Mcb ere will prorontly comfort aad toMhe busy eyci tnii feci (he straio of working â- ader iriificUl li|hi.

P, URIN ^EVE SOOTHES REFRESHES How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can 1 remove mortar from window glass? A. Try rubbing with hot, strong vinegar. A. When through using the wringer, take a piece of cloth and wet it with kerosene. Rub the toilers well anu they will be as clean and white as when new. Re- peat every week ''i- washing. Q. What can I take to produce sleep? A. Stew spring onions in a coarse brown sugar and >ake a teaspoonful at night. This will not only produce sleep, but is very healthful. Q. What i.- ti ' correct way to roll pastry? A. Never operate the rolling pin backwards and forwards when making pastry. Roll it forwards only and then lift it. Q. How can I take proper care of ivory knife handles? A. Do not put them in hot water, which turns them yellow. Wash with warm soapy water, and wipe quickly. Once a month rub them with a flannel moistened with denatured alcohol and dipped in powdered whiting that has been sifted through cheesecloth. Q. How can I loosen screws and nails which are rusted into wood? A. By dropping a little hot paraffin on them. After a short time they can be removed very easily. to run around barefoot, and Daughter's is do exactly as she pleases. Bob's idea of rest is to stay not more than five minutes in one place at a time. And Partner's and mine â€" well, we think it a good idea just to snatch a few odd winks whenever there happens to be « ilttle quietness in the house. But not always â€" no not always; some- times I keep our family on the move. Sunday afternoon, for in- stance I casually suggested a berry reconnoitring trip. And oh dear, what a disappointment â€" there was hardly a berry anywhere I Whether this is really another off season or whether the bushes were just killed out in that patch, I don't know. But won't it be a tragedy if there are no wild berries to pick again this year? * ♦ Well, well, it must be thundering again â€" Tippy has just pushed the door open and gone to his hiding place under the kitchen table. I wonder why it is so many dogs are scared of thunder. To tell you the truth I am scared too. but for the simple reason that a bad storm might result in our wheat crop being levelled to the ground. That is a tragedy at any time but this year we are growing registered wheat and that makes us doubly anxious. Which reminds me, I have a bin<ler canvas to patch. And that my dear friends, is not exactly my idea of fancy work. Wash-Day Tip If a new clothes line is boiled for a few minutes in soapy water before being used, it will become safer and more durable.
