She listened intently, asking few ques- tions, until he ended. Then they both looked up, conscious that dawn was becoming gray in the east. Keith’s mst thought was one of reliefâ€"the bright sky showed him they were rid- ing straight north. ‘ The Ford of the Arkansas. ‘ They were still in the midst of the yellow featureless plain, but the weary horses had slowed down to a walk, the heavy sand retarding progress. It was a gloomy, depressing scene in the spectral gray light, a wide circle of' intense loneliness, unbroken by either dwarfed shrub or bunch of grass, a barren expanse stretching to the sky. Vague cloud shadows seemed to flit across the level surface, assuming {an- tastic shapes, but all of the same dull coloring, imperfect and unfinished. Nothing seemed tangible or real, but rather some grotesque picture of de- lirium, ever merging into another yet more hideous. Th very silence of those sumounding v astes seemed bur- densome, adding immeasurably to the horror. They were but specks crawl- ing underneath the skyâ€"the only liv- ing, moving objects in all that im- mense circle of desolation and death. Keith turned in his saddle, looking back past Nebâ€"Who swayed in his seat, with head lolling on his breast as though asleep, his’ horse plodding after the othersâ€"along the slight trail the}r had made across the desert. So far as eye cou'd reach nothing moved, nothing appertntly existed.

The intense dreari- ness of it all left a feeling ofdepression. His eyes tuned and regarded the girl riding sil ntly beside him. The same look of depression was visible upon her face, and she was gazing off into the dull distance with lack-luster eyes, her 5167- -r forth leaning forward. her hands clawed across the pomznel. The long weariness of the night. had left traces tn her young face, robbing it of some of its freshness, yet Keith found it {11618 attractive in the grow- ing dmna t than amid the lamp sh ad ows of the evening before.

It was no compliment. but spoken with such evident honesty that her eyes met his with frankness. “There could be no necessity I wanted you to know that I you. and am grateful.” She extended her hand this time. and he took it within his own. holdingr it firmly, yet without. knowing what to answer. There was strong impulse within him to question her, to learn then and there her own life story. Yet, somehow, the reticencc of the girl restrained him; he could not deliber- ately probe beneath the veil she kept lowered between them. Until she chose to lift it herself voluntarily. he possessed no right to intrude. The gentlemanly instincts of younger years held him silent, realizing clear- ly that whatever secret might domi- nate her life, it was hers to conceal just so long as she pleased. Out of this swift struggle of repression he managed to say: “I appreciate your confidence, and mean to prove worthy. Perhaps some day I can bring you the proofs.” “I need none other than your own word.” “Oh, but possibly you. are too easily convinced; you believed in HawleY-" She 100ka at him searchingly, her eyes glowing. her cheeks flushed. “Yes,” she said slowly, convincing- 1y. “I know I did; 1â€"1 was so anx- ious to be helped, butâ€"but this is dif- ferent.” It was noon, the sun pitiless and hot above them, before they vstraggled within the partial shelter of the sand dunes, and sink wearily down to their meager lunch. Their supply of water was limited, and the exhausted ponies must. wait um‘il they reached the river to quench Ii'xir thirst.

Slow as tin} must proceed, three hours more would surely bring-I; them to the bank of the stream. They discussed their plans briefly as the three sat together on the warm srâ€"md. revived both by the food and the brief rest. There was not a great deal to be determined. only-where the girl should be left, and how the two men had better proceed to escape observation. Fort Larnml was the nearest and safest place fur their charge, none of the party expressing any desire to ad venture themselves within the imme- diate nei 'rrrhood of Carscn City. What her f‘ 11 rag plans might, be were not reveaLcd, and Keith forebore any direct questioning. His duty plainly 'engd with placing her in a safe en- vironment. and he felt convinced that Mrs. Murphy, of the Occidental Hotel, would furnish room, and, if necessary, companionship. The sole problem re- mainingâ€"after she had rather listless- 1y agreed to such an arrangementâ€" was to so plan the details as to permit the negro and himself to slip through the small town clustered about the post without attracting undue atten- tion. No doubt, the story of their es- cape had already reached there, em- bellished by telling, and serious trou- ble might result from discovery. Keith was surprised at the slight interest she exhibited in these arrangements, merely signifying her acquiescence by a word, but he charged it to physical weariness, and the reaction from her night of peril; yet he took pains to mlain fully his plan, and to gain her consent. This finally settled, they mounted again and rode on through the lanes traversing the sand dunes, keeping headed as straight as possible toward the river. The ford sought was some miles down stream, but with the horses’ thirst mitigated, they made excellent progress, and arrived at the spot early in the evening. Not in all the day had they encountered a liv- ing object. or seen a moving thing amid the surrounding desolation. Now, looking across to the north, a few gleaming lights told of Fort Larned perched upon the opposite bluxs. HOME-MADE MOUSE TRAP.

To-day’s ses- sinn, attended by -.-. ,_.,.:_ several thousand. ' . ' 3' i” was addressed bv AS OK‘KU EU- Past-or Russell. we report one of his addresses, based on Revelation xx, 4-6. It was announced that next Sun- day he would address a similar Con- vention in London. -'.. ~.. 5.. Many Christians whose faith can- not accept the Divine promise have turned instead to the theory advanc- ed long before Jesus’ day by the Gre- cian philosOphers, headed by Plato. Their teachings respecting death, al- though less logical than the Bible theory, require less faith. Thus we have it today that Christian faith re- specting the future life is supported, not by the Bible, but by the teachings of the heathen from Plato down. Plato and all the heathen claim without evidence that dying was not the penalty for sin, that, on the con- trary, it is another step of an evolu- tion process, a passage-way to a new life, under new ccmditions, of which they knownothing. Theirs is merely a guess, a philosnphy, and. 0f Chums, has no use for a resurrec-th-m uf the dead. because the fact nf (loath is (le- nied and the dead are said to he nmre alive than when t' ey were. alive. The Bible declares that from the very begini1in{-..r God purposed the re- surrection of the dead and that. there- fore. all l1>elievers were privileged to Speak of the deceased. not as dead in an absolute sense.like the brute. but as being: aslee3;--â€"\1'aiting for the glar- ious morningr of Messiah’s Kingdom and the resurrection. Thus the Pro- phet declares “Weeping: may endure for the night but joy cometh in the morning.” Thus the Bible tells us that “ Abraham s lent uith his fathers” â€"â€"and so with all the patriarchs of the Old 'l‘e.~tan1e:1t: and «1f St. Stephen. in the New Testament. we read. “He fell asleep.” when stoned to death. And so the Apostle speaks of the Church saying. “We shall not all sleep"-- some will be alive and remain until he coming: of Christ. St. Paul says. “If there be no resur- rection of the dead. "" "‘ "‘ then those who are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.” (I. Corinthians xv, 13-18.) How could this be true if they have been alixe in heaven for centuries? First or Chief Resurrection. Not all of the (lead will have the same resurrection. Some will be. rais- ed to the likeness «1f the .first Adam. uhile others. members of the Bodv of Christ. will be granted a superior res- urrectionâ€"to glen honor, immortal- itv and the divine nature. Of the lat-- ter St. Paul explains,‘ ‘soun in weak- ness, raised in power; sown in dis- honor, raised in glory; sown an ani- mal body. raised a spirit body.” (I. Corinthians xv. 4.3. 44.) Of the same class our text declares. “Blessed and holy are all thex that haxe part in the First Resurrection; "' "“ * thev shall Thus seen the world, whether in the grave or out of the grave, are all from the Divinegstandpoint dead. Dur. ing the thousand years of Messiah's reign these will all be dealt with, in- structed and helped with a view to assisting themup, up, up, out of sin and out of death, and back to perfect life and all that Adam lost. The up- raising of the worldgduring that thou- sand years is the general resurrection. This is the meaning of the word an-as- tasisâ€"it does not refer to mere awak- ening from the tomb. Hence, although the(world will be gradually rising out of sin and death conditions, they will not live again in the sense of attain- ing perfection of life until the thou- sand years shall be finished. y-Vuv‘u --v vv~rv, From this Divine standpoint the world in general toâ€"day is dead, has no right to life and can obtain eter- nal life only through accepting Jesus: “He that bath the Son hath life. He that hath not the Son shall not see life.” The proper thought is this: Adam had life and the right to continue it unceasingly so long as he was in har- mony with God. When he sinned he came under the sentence, “Dying, thou shalt die.” Our race, his chil- dren, shared his sentence by heredity. Hence we are all dying. From the DiVine standpoint none have life. Those who become disciples of Jesus are said to pass from death un"'o life, although their new life will not be completed until the First Resurrec- tion.

Ah! this part of our text- is sadly misunderstood and has thrown many Bible Students off the track of truth. They have understood the passage to mean that Christ and His glorified Bride class will reign for a thousand yearscver such a humanity as will be alive at the time of the setting up of the Messianic Kingdom. They think that this passage teaches that all the millions of the world who have died during the past six thousand years will have no share in the blessings of Messiah’s Kingdom._ _ A I astor Russell’s Address at the Inter- national Bible Students Convention In Scotland â€" Several Thousand Hear Explained Much-Misunder- stood Text.
