As her grace- ful figure floated on ahead it seemed more than ever reminiscent of Reenle Hardy. What rides they had had on those foothill trails! What dippings into the great canyons' What adventures into the spruce for- ests! And how long ago it all seem- ed! That was before he started on the paper; -<before he had been in the grocery business, or in the coal business; back in the long, long past on the ranch in the days before his father died.

His eyes were burning with loneli- ness. He knew he was dull that day, and Edith was particularly charming and vivacious. She coaxed him into con-| versation a dozen times, but he an-| swered absent-mindedly. At length! she leapt from her horse and seated | herself, facing the river, on a fallen 'og. Without looking back she indi- ered with her hand the space beside er, and Dave followed and sat down. "or a time they watched the swift vater in silence; blue-green where the current ran deeply; tinged with hrown glow in the shallows from the gravel underneath. "You aren't talking said at length, ' "You don't quite do yourself justice. What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing," he answered with a laugh, pulling himself together. "This September weather always gets me. I guess I have a streak of In- dian; it comes of being brought up on the ranges. And in September, after the first frosts have toughed the foliage--" He paused, as though it was not necessary to say more, "Yes, I know," she said quietly. Then, with a queer little note of con- fidence, 'Don't apologize for it, Dave." "Apologize?""' and his straightened. 'Certainly not. One doesn't apologize for nature, does he? But it comes back in Septem- ber." He smiled, and she thought the subconscious in him was calling up the smell of fire in dry grass, or perhaps even the rumble of buffalo over the hills. And he knew he smiled because he had so completely misled her. : Presently she took out a pocket volume. "Will you read?' she said. Strangely enough he opened it at the lines-- "Oh, you will never hide yaur soul from me I"ve seen the jewels flash, and know 'tis there, viuffle it as you will."

Instead of being a pleasure as formerly, these duties became a real task. I lost all desire for food and nothing | would tempt me. I had to make | myself eat. I would go to bed at | night and toss from side to side | for hours at a time. After a while I would doze off only to find that I had been sleeping for ten or fifteen' minutes. Naturally when morning came, not having slept, I started the day completely tired out. I was shaky and ner- vous. The least noise would startle me and make my heart race along. I could see that my hus- ¢ was worried.

She asked an inconsequential question ed in the paper, and from that the talk drifted on until it turned on the point of their expedition of the pre- vious Sunday. Dave never could ac- count quite cldarly how it happened, but when he hung up the receiver he knew he had asked her to ride with streets and squares and public places, he would resign his place and power when the war was done, to those who were rigking their lives in bat- tle, and he would devote himself 10 those who had suffered for their country. "Let his request he granted," said the Thunderer. "We shall remem- ber his promises." The third prayer was.from a mer- chant, a dealer in arms, a purveyor of spears and swords, of shields and bows, of helmets and curiasses and greaves., He prayed that he might grow rich during the war, and pro- mised to sacrifice white hulls wreath- ed with garlands, and that half of all his profits would he give to the shrines of the gods or to those im- poverished hy the loss of their kins- men in the war, "Let 'his prayer he granted," said the Omniscient, "We shall see." The fourth prayer was from a mother, She prayed that peace might come again, and that her son might return in safety from battle. She was poor and had little to give. But if Jupiter granted her request, she promised that she would give her son to be a priest at his shrine, and so long as she had a crust, she would share it with a warrior wound- ed or suffering from war. "Let her prayer be granted," said the Friend of Suppliants. "She has promised more than they all." The trap-door was closed, and im- mediately (for there is no time with the gods, but Past, Present and Fu- ture ure an Eternal Now) the Fat- her of the Gods commanded the win- dows of his palace to be opened that his guests might see how the prayers were answered, and how the suppli- ants were keeping their promises, All the prayers had been granted. him again on Sunday, and she had accepted. He had ridden with her before, of course, but he had never asked her before. He had been a sort of honoured employee, whose business it was to comply with her wishes. But this time she would ride at his request. He felt that a subtle change had come over their relationship. He was at the Duncan house ear- lier than usual Sunday afternoon, but not too early for Edith, She was dressed for the occasion; she seem- ed more fetching than he had ever seen her. There was the blush of health--or was it altogether the blush of health?--on her cheeks, and a light in her eyes such as he had seen more than once on those last rides with Reenie Hardy. And across her saddle she threw a brown sweater, She led the way over the path fol- lowed the Sunday before until again they sat by the rushing water. Dave had again been filled with a sense of Reenie Hardy, and his conversation was disjointed «nd uninteresting. She tried unsuccessfully. to draw him out with questions about himself; then took the more astute tack of speaking of her own past life. It had begun in an eastern city, ever 80 many years ago-- Chivalry could not allow that to pass. "Oh, not so very many," said Dave, "How many?' she teased, 'Guess.' He looked judicially on her bright face; it was a good face to look upon. Perhaps his eyes said as much, "Nineteen," he hazarded, "Oh, more than that." "Twenty-one?" "Oh, less than that."

(To be continued) EVERYDAY RELIGION By Dr. Thurlow Fraser "LEST There was WE FORGET" a convocation of the Juniper, the father of Men, had called the cloud-encircled home on Mount Olympus, that they might confer together on the affairs of heaven and earth, the sea and the nether world where Pluto reign- ed. After high debate the Father of the Gods offered them relaxation 'in a unique entertainment. He com- manded to be opened in the floor of his palace the trap-door through whieh came up to him the prayers of mortals. While the assembled gods ate their ambrosia and sipped their nectar, he repeated these prayers to them for their amusement and in- struction. It was a time of war in the ancient world, and the first prayer was from the tyrant of a petty Greek state. He prayed that he might have my- riads of soldiers to fight his enemies. He promised that, if Juniper would give him abundance of men and vie- tory, he would with the spoils of war build such a temple as had never been built before, he would richly reward the men who had fought, and would give just government to his Gods and of The tyrant had mustered a great army and had won the war, The demagogue had ruled the city in the absence of the brave men who fought. The arms merchant had grown rich, Peace had come and the mother had her son home again. How were they keeping their prom- ises? The tyrant had built himself forts and castles with the spoils of war, and had hired himself mercenaries from strange lands. With these he crushed the people when they eried for just government, and slew the very soldiers who had fought for him against his foreign enemies.

The May Rose lifted her pink head in delight at hearing this, and Uncle Wiggily was just placing the lovely flower among the others he had gathered, when, all of a sudden, the bad old nose-pulling Monkey jumped down out of a tree, and caught Uncle Wiggily by the coat tails. '"'Hold on! Where are you going?" asked the Monkey in very impolite tones, "Why," answered the bunny; "Il was going back to Nurse Jane with these flowers." "What flowers?" asked the Mon- key, looking sharply at Uncle Wig- gily's ears as if to see which one he would nibble first. "These flowers," answered the bunny, and he held out the bouquet he had gathered, including the May Rose. If Uncle Wiggily thought the sight of the beautiful blossoms would make the bad Monkey turn good, the rabbit gentleman was sadly disap- pointed. "Oh, ho! Flowers!" gibbered the Monkey. '"'Are they 'good to eat?" "No," answered Uncle WMggily sadly as he thought how soon his ears would be nibbled. 'Bees get honey from flowers, but the blos- soms are not good to eat, though cows do eat buttercups, I believe." "Well, if they aren't good to eat, I'll take one to wear in my button- hole," chattered the Monkey. "I'll take this big, pink flower, and wear it when I go to see the Blue Nosed Baboon," and he reached forth his paw to take the May Rose. "Look out!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "Pooh! You can't stop me from taking a flower that way!" sneered the Monkey. He made a grab for the rose, but, a moment later, he loudly howled with pain. "Oh, I'm stuck full of pins! I'm stuck full of needles!" cried the Monkey, as he felt the thorns of the rose. "'Oh, what did you do to me. Uncle Wiggily?"
