"A word with youl!" he said hoarsely, closing the door; he was pale with rage, Mark stood easily, facing him; 'there was a splendid vigor about him that Landon had not seen in his poor, rough and ready suit of clothes. It could not be said that clothes made the man, but the man shone radiantly through the clothes, there was something about him-- in this house-broken, scented at- mosphere--splendidly, heathenish- ly alive." He smiled at Archie's wrath, : * x 0% "You've lost," he said casually; . "I'm asked to dine." "IT know it," replied Landon "but you won't--you'll go home!" ft; "Better take your defeat more calmly," counselled Mark; "you're not a good sport." Landon gasped with anger. "I've watched you," he said - thickly; "you've trespassed here--you've dared too much. Now, you '11 get out!" Mark's eyes met his PTA for 'a moment their glances ground on each other like-crossing steels, then he laughed. ""Listen--I've won and I'll stay; the dinner was the acid test, ypu. know. Do you think they'd like you for trying to cheat them? If you drive me out, I'll tell them what you did--we'll go together." Landon whitened yet more. "You've got to go," he raged; "I'll make you,--you paid imposter!" * * * Mark swung around in pagan fury; he seized him and shook him. Landon was big, but in the other's hands he might have been a reed. Mark threw him aside like .a helpless puppy; then he slapped the money, five hundred dollars," down on the table. x "Take it, there's the price; it's infamous, unthinkable; I repud- iate it!

He struck the money fiercely and- flung it in "the fire. As the flame caught it and the costly smoke went up he heard Mark's tormenting laugh, "Tell them, you've played a mean trick on your hostess; you've done a thing no gentleman should 'do; a thing to damn ycu socially; go and tell her! You'll suffer, I'll stay," said he with sudden passion, his eyes flashing their flame at Landon. "I'll stay--and you can't put me out--the wager's wonl" ~ i. * *® Mark Grant kept his word. He stayed. In the first flush and ex- ultation of his love for Pam he would have walked through fire to stay. But he had no such or- deal; Landon-had felt his fingers on his shoulder; the cinch of them had left the young man's muscles sore. He wanted no more of that. He gnawed his rage in silence, He 'saw that he was trapped. If he told the truth to get Grant out, he would go out himself in disgrace. Strange to say, he had not thought of that, he had it to digest while He watched Mark's triumph at the dinner. This strange fellow; this heathen with. iron fists, whoever he was, had found his tongue; he talked well, Not of travel and ad- ventures, Landon noticed, but of life, He had a horribly lucid in- sight; he. saw through people's motives, and he.was well read. No oie could question that. He had taught Burleson's interest -- the great man, usually wearied 'and ~ self-absorbed, listened to him with marked attention, studied him, 'too, Landon thought, as if he searched his memory for that face. * »* * As for Pam, she sat next to Mark and looked up at him with wide, fascinated eyes.

What right had he, an ex-convict, to sit be- side her, to touch her hand, to look into her eyes? A kind of fever seized him; once or twice it was in his mind to rise and shout the truth at them. Then Burleson held him from it--one of the men who had helped send him to who, no doubt, like Fosdick, be- lieved him guilty.

Golden Text.--Thou shalt wor- ship the Lord thy God, and him only shal. thou serve. -- Matthew 4:10. + John the Baptist had been for sometime preaching in the wilder- ness calling upon the people to re- pent and be baptized. Here it was that Jesus emerged from his pri- vate life to commence his public ministry: John, recognizing Jesus as the Son of God, hesitated in baptizing him. However, Jesus said "Suffer it to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteous- ness.' Coming up out of the water fols lowing his baptism, the heavens opened unto Jesus, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in the form of a dove. For several hund- red years no prophet from God had visited Israel, but here God spoke in approval of Jesus as His son, in whom He was weli pleased. First Temptation After being filled with the spirit Jesus was led out into the wilder- ness to be tempted of the devil. The devil was not a myth as some would have us imagine, but a per- sonal being, seeking to overcome the Son of God. Jesus was human in body, and following forty days of fasting we can understand how the bodily resistance would be low- ered, and the temptation to yield to the desires of the flesh multi- plied. Satan was aware of his con- dition, and he first sought to win Jesus by urging him to use his power as the Son of God, to turn the stones into bread. With scrip- ture Jesus gave him no room for . argument. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proccedeth out of the mouth of God." Second Temptation Satan continued in his tempta- tion of the Lord Jesus, and took him up to the temple where from a high position he urged the Sav- jour to cast himself down to test his power as Lord. The devil as he often does used scripture, "Ile shall give his angels chliarge con- cerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee wp, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." Again the Lord replies with scripture, "It is written thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy-God." - Third Temptation Even after two rebukes the devil tempted the Lord a third time, of- fering him the glories of this world if he would but fall down and worship him. Many have sold their souls for a little of this world's glory but Jesus had his eyes on the task he came into the world to do, to save the people from their sins, He commands satan to get hence "For it is written 'thou shalt wor- ship the Lord thy God and him 'only shalt thou serve After his third victory" over sa- tan, we are told that angels came --and ministered unto him... It: is' not stated in what way they minister- ed, but probably with food and comfort. May we profit by this record of our Lord's encounter with the devil, and be prepared to fight him with the Sword of the Spirit (God's Word) when he secks to tempt us. For thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.

Clarke of GINGER FARM Ce Well now, have you got all those "thank you" letters written; the tree and all the Christmas decor- ations taken down, and your New Year resolutions made? If you have then vou have done better than I-- but then it is only New Year's eve with me so 1 have hardly had a chance yet. * * * But I have been thinking about the new year and how best we can make use of it. Don't you think we often let these winter months slip by without making as much use of them as we might? May and June, with all the work that early sum- mer brings, is right with us before we can turn around, and it some- times finds us with jobs that could very easily have been done on cold, winter «yas. What about -those aprons, those the light-weight underwear that cm che we didn't have time to mend before it was put away, It is a great time too, for housecleaning drawers, cupboards and closets, isn't it? And of course. some of you will do just as I do--put things away so carcfully you never find them again' And then there are letters to write: and maybe there are friends we have neglected . . . the new year is a grand time to check up on our sins of lomission--and per- haps clear, up a few misunderstand- ings. There are times when the best of us give, or take oifence, when no offence was ever intended. 1 had an instance of this just re- cently. A few months 2go when I was in Toronto I phoned a friend with whom I correspond--iot fre- quently but enough to keep us in touch with one another. She ans- wered my phone call that day and her voice just about froze me. "Well," T thought, "so that's that!" But at Christmas time [ got a let- ter--my friend had been in a bad way for months--nervous break- down, I imagine, and she said "It is taking me- quite awhile to gath- er up the broken threads--especial- ly those of friendship--will you write and Jet us renew our friend- ship even if we cannot see each other very often." That letter has already been ans- wered but had my friend not writ- ten how easily we could have drift- wed further and still further apart. * * * Life is 'too short for misunder- too" fleeting for us to bear a grudge for fancied wrongs, In our friendships, in cur family circle, and in our social life, couldn't we learn to be a little more tolerant? We cannot all think alike--it would be a dull world if AWAITING ORDERS Like thousands of our boys on the western front, this alert soldier awaits orders "before moving tank ' further forward. we did--but we can at least recog- nise the other person's right to differ from us without getting peeved about it. So, .in this new year, wouldn't 'it be a good idea to think, not so much about what it may hold in store for us but rather of what we have in store for it. The former is beyond our con- trol; the latter is something else again, Incidentally we might learn to accept present conditions with a goad grace.
