It is expected that a lot of men who have not quite made up their minds to volunteer for active service. not knowing whom they would have as comrades, would be willing to go with a company of men whom they know. While re- cruiting has been rather slow lately, owing to harvest operaâ€" tions, it is anticipated that plenty of men will be available from now on, and that little difficulty will be experienced in securing the re- quired number. Steps are now being taken to commence a recruiting campaign. to enroll men who are willing to enlist in .21 Grey County company to be commanded by officers from the 3lst Regiment. and also when they will be available.

He was visibly much moved. For a few seconds he held it without speaking. then. “That grew on Vir- ginia’s head. sure enough, Joe. Is it possible my girl is alive?” After that we went around to the other side of the lake and saw the beached canoe. The two sets of moc- casined tracks showed clearly on the strip of mud by the water, but were soon lost in the tumbled debris of a two-year-old stony landslip over which trailing appeared quite impossible. Noâ€" vember was busy about this landing place for a longer time than i expect- ed, then he crossed the landslide at right angles and disappeared from our view. Soon he came hurrying to- ward us. “She isn’t dead.” “What?” _“Anyways. she wasn’t when she passed here. I have a proof here that you will think mighty good.” He drew out a little leather case I had given him and extracted from it a long hair of a beautiful red gold color. “Look at that! I found it in the spruces above there.” “She is. sure! Don’t be afeared. You’ll soon have news of her, I can promise you that. Mr. Planx. This wasn’t no case of murder. It’s just an abduction. They’d never be such fools as to kill her. They’re cuter than that. Isn‘t she your daughter? They’ll hold her to big ransom. That’s their game.” By this time it' was growing too dark for Joe to work any longer. We crossed the lake with I‘lanx, and that night Joe and I camped near the end of Mooseshank lake, where a stream flowed from it. At dawn, while we were having breakfast. Joe stood up and stared into the trees that grew thick behind us. As he called out I looked back and saw the indistinct figure of a man in their shadow watching us. He beckoned. and we approached him. I saw he was young. with a pale face and rather shabby town made clothes “Don’t you remember Walter Cal- vcey. November?" he said, holding out his hand. “I was with you and Mr. Fianx andâ€"andâ€"her last year in the An ugly look came into Planx’s eyes. “That’s their game. is it? I’m not a man that it is easy to milk dollars from,” said he. “Hub. yes. and what are you doing here, Mr. Calvey?” asked Joe, shaking hands. “I heard about Virginia. How could I keep away after that?” exclaimed Calvey. “You’ve no cause to fret yet,”‘said Joe. “Huh! She’s not dead! Take my word for it!” Joe’s gray eyes gave me a roguish look. “Why. I’ve got a thing here in my pocketbook you‘d give me $100 for!” He held the red gold hair up. to the light .of the rising sun. Calvey shook from head to foot. “Virginia‘s! You couldn't find its match in Canada! Tell me”â€" “You’re right! He hates me because Virginia won't marry Schelperg of the combine. He hasn't let us meet for months. And more than that. hes ruined me and my partner in business. It was easy for a rich man to do that.” added Calvey bitterly. “We trailed the two villalns until they got on to some rocky ground. It was too dark then to do more, so we returned. Fire thousand dollars it you lay hands on them,” he said. "They took her out on the lake and murdered her!” groaned Planx. “Drag- ging? There’s no use dragging. that water goes plumb down to the root of the world." “I can‘t wait to tell you and you can’t. wait to hear. Light out now.

Continued from page 6. “and wnat did you do arter nnomg net bat?” By the river the traces were so plain that any one could read them-the slender feet of the victim and the larger footprints of the two men. The fishing rod. snapped off toward the top of the middle joint. had been left where it had fallen. It seemed as if the girl had tried to defend herself with it. Next we went to the lake.

This is chosen as a lesson against in- temperance because of the drunken- ness of Ben-hadad and the thirtytwo kings who are said to have helped him, all of whom were drinking themselves drunk in the pavilions (verses 12. 16). and were thus more easily overcome hv the small army of Israel. In our own day railroad and other corpora- tions are learning that men who are given to strong drink cannot be relied Upon and that it is not the part of wis- dom to employ them. no matter how etiicient they may be. Not only does such sin and folly take away the heart or understanding. as in the golden text. but it is apt to become most filthy and beastly and has been known to afiect even priests and prophets (Isa. xxviii. 7. S). It is utterly selfish and sensual and turns the heart away from the Lord. (Isa. v. 11. 12, 20-23). Neither drunkards nor any other unrighteous peorlle can inherit the kingdom of God, but there is forgiveness and salvation for all sinners who truly turn to the Lord and honestly receive the Lord Jesus Christ (I Cor. vi. 9-11). The con- trast to being drunk with wine is to be filled with the Spirit (Eph. v. 18). and this is the privilege of all believers. The king of Syria's servants planned a scheme by which they might learn if Ahab was inclined to be merciful to him and spare him. Ahab called him “my brother” and said. “Go ye, bring him." so they met and made a cove- nant one with the other (verses 31-34). This led to the Lord's sending a third messenger with a reproof for Ahab be- cause he had spared Ben-hadad. and “the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased (verse 43). We are reminded of Saul sparing Agag and also the best of the sheep and oxen. and also of the Lord's message by Samuel. “Behold. to obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Sam. xv. 9. 2'2 . God. the God of Jacob. is ready to hold strongly with all whose hearts are whole toward Him (11 Chron. xvi, 9. margin). but many professed serv- ants of the Lord prefer to be friendly with some Ben- badad rather than be faithful to God and rebuke their sin. “Busy here and there‘ (verse 40) With many things that are not of God de- scribes the life of many a preacher. and rather compromising with certain wrong things because of the standing of the persons who do them than re- buke the wrong. In last week‘s lesson we saw Jezebel possessed by the devil. and now we see two men with the same trouble. Ben~hadad and Ahab, and yet the Lord would have used Ahab had he been willing. but he preferred a compromise with the king of Syria rather than faithfulness to the God of Israel who had giVen him two such wonderful victories.
