"Get me some coffee! | wonder where in aischief Jase is? he added to himself, westily. Then his mind weat bi te yesterday and he remembered her face; she had sad little, but he knew her well. "Confou d 1," he thought soberly, "she's pot a fancy for that fellow! My fault, oo; I'd no busines. to have a stranger about, a man with- out credentials." . ' He drank his coffee hasuly and ate little. Manny Sewel had spoken th day oefore of going away Stenhart, s sad, was well. Jim did not meas to let her go. but she was hestating he wanted ler to miarry hime out she womed to work twp wore vears. "Ridiculous ideal' Jun gowled; "I neec you more thin these sick people She had not vet appeared nd it angered him to feds that perhaps she did not want a te e-a-tete just now.

She would never no rry Max, he thougni. But this news was reassuring; if lane--a daredevi. rider -- would slow het pace 10 suit a hall sick mun, she must be glad of his company. Jim walked out on he veranda and looked towards the bridge; she might be oming ao ve by now. The sunshine was wonderful, it dazzled "win for a moment; then he saw Stenhart coming across the bridge, urging his horse. He was alone! Jim wnt half way down the slope to meet him, "Hello, Ma» he shouted anx- ously, "where's Jane?" Stenhart made no reply. he swung himself dow: from the saddle, looking haggard. "Come into the house," he sad thickly; too many men about out here!" : Jim whitencd; he had a' strange forchoding. Withou a word he turned with .tenhart toward the he use, and once he had to steady the man on Lis"feet, he was so ex- h: usted. They entered the dim old hall an. Stenhart flung himself into a chair, gasping. Jim stood in front of him with a set face. * * * "For Gou' sake, speak out Max!" he exclaimed. What's up? Where's my sisters' Stenhart, getting his breath, an- swered with cold fury. "She's up the mountainside with Sherwin." "Jim drew a hard breath. He wa: fu-ious, but he contr 1':d himself, sat down on the edi of his desk and lookea attentively at Stenhart. It occurred to him that the man might be i a fever from undue exertion and not responsible. "Will you kindly explain your- self?" he said gravely; "you're speaking of 'my sister." "I'm telling you nothing but the truth," Stenhurt replied stubbornly. "She and * had a quarrel this morning. She left me wo go out on horseback, 1 followed--1 had it in nund to overtake her, to try to make it up---you understand?' lie stoppea, biting his lips, and Jim made an impatient gesture of assert, "Go on!" he exclaimed. Stenhart did not look at him. He stared at the bright rectangle of the open door anu his fingers drummed cu the arms of his chair. * * * "She ws a long way ahead, rid- ing fast. 1 followed; she didn't know it. Presently she turned into a mountain tiail and dismounted; I could see her througl. the trees. [I got down off my horse and fol- lowed; | thought to overtake her on foot more casily. The trail is difficult. It ascends more sharply. [ found it hard climbing and she got far ahead. Half vay up 1 heard voices and stood still--I wasn't an intentional cavesdropper." He drew a hard Hreath, "I saw them --Sherwin had met Ler!" Jim stiffened. "Your mean that my sister, 2o0ing out alone, as she often does, chanced to meet this --this convict?" Stenhart lifted a gray face, there was no doubt now of the misery im his eyes. "She loves him, Jim!" Jim struck his open hand on the desk. "That's an mtolerable thing fcr even an old friend to say. Max!" Max met. lus eves steadily. "It's the truth, Jim!" And then he wlded chekigly: "I know!" The sheer passion of that cry, its defeat, its bitterness, carried conviction. For an stant Jim, usually so even temperc , stared at him; then he swore softly and scized the elephone-receiver. Stenhart snatche at his arm. "What a: you going to do? . + L] Jim <hook him off. "Get the sheriff after him; I know about where Cutler is--Hello! Yes?" he began began to talk into the re- ceiver. Stenhart, who felt really ill, turned and poured a glass of water. ishd telepl.oning. "Cutler left Manning's two hcurs ago, headed his way; he'll be here .oon. I--Max, what arc you going to do?" Stenhart was at the door; Jim saw that he walked stiffly. "Come back!" he exclaimed, "you're ill." But Stenh. rt was climbire into the saddle again; as he mounted he wrned a white face towards Jim. "I'm going to meet the sheriff; he doesn't get away this time!" "Max--T say!" Jim wanted to direct this thing himself. Even in his rage he remembered Sherwin saving him that first night; but Stenhart was off at a gallop, sway- ing in the saddle. The thiag was done! Jim turned she really cared -- he wondered vwhat they would do with an es- caped 'convict in Rhode Island. As his rage cooled he ethought of Jane; he must get her before the posse rrived. He heard Sten- hart's horse gallop across the bridge. (To be continued) Joy for Junior They can get their vitamins out ot strawberrie. and, cream instead of spinach.

The first knave tried his skill to score, And boasted diamonds rare. He did not pass, She trumped his liecs-- He lost his lady fair. The second pressed his suit with clubs; Be sharper, rule her rough. A bad misdeal, his partner called, "Cut out that show of bluff." The third played dummy--cautious like-- With spade-work packed each trick. His shuffling ways she could not match, So counted him out quick. The fourth, though out-bid every round, Progressed right from the start. He played the game, he held her hand, He almost gained her heart.

Every man's first duty is to love God, supremely, with ll his affec- tion, intellect and strength. "These v ords" which Moses commanded the children of Israel were God's words. God's words laid up in the heart will keep us (rom sin in our lives. The next thing to do with God's word is to teach it to others and especially to those for whom we are particulary responsible, our own children: we should not only teach it but we snould teach it with diligence, earncstness and care. The most important part of a childs education is the education received in thc home. ) The Rich Ruler The rich ruler who came to Christ was eager to know the truth. He was humble and rever- efor he knceled before Christ. Il was utterly sincere for he had kept the Law outwardly. He had lived an honest and upright life, and none could accuse him of pub- licly violating any of the Ten Com- mandments. This youth loved his wealth for it brought him luxury and power, But he wants to be assured of eter- nal life. Christ puts him to a sev- ere test, saying, there is but one thing to do, sacrifice all your earthly possessions for the sake of - the poor and lay up treasure in Heaven, Test of Loyalty The young man was asked to leave the old life of case, luxury and power behind him and to take up the cross, the ivmbol of suffer- ing and sorrow, and follow Christ in the path of sclf-sacrifice. The youth's cross would be vol- untary poverty; but it was too heavy for him to lift. He could not carry it beciuse he was weighed dewn with his gold and riches. So he went away grieved, "for he was hopeful that Christ would answer his question "what shall I do that I may inherit eter- nal life?" to his own satisfaction. He "went away grieved" and we feel that the heart of Christ was grieved also. TABLE TALKS.

CHRONICLE And now it's summer , . ., the hum of mowers is lieard through- out the land . . . the fragrance of new mown hay fills the air . ,* bobolinks sing the whol. day long and the early chickens are rapidly putiing on that extra flesh" which brings them every uy a little nearer to their inevitable end jin the frying pan. I am sitting by our front door-- that is, behind it, so that the screening protects me from any flies and mosquitoes th may be hovering around--and from which partially lidcen vantage point there is much to see and hear. Just now a plane, flying low, zoomed its way westward It gives otic a comfortable feeling to know it is on « peaceful mission and not on a practise -flight for ultimate destruction. * * * A cat-bird is calling from the poplar tree. A cauary, unbeliey- ably yellow, flits. from shrub to shrub; a little wren is very busy on the lawn, and somewhere "around the corner a pair of cedar waxwings are chipping cheerfully, I have been watching the antics of those same waxwings for over . week. You see I put the head of an old dust mop through the wash and to hasten the drying I put it on top of the chicken pen roof in the hot sun. The waxwings thought that was the real McCoy. The tough fibre strings of the mop were just what Momma ordered to line her nest, ana so they come back time after time, wings flutter- ing as f to give them greater strength as they tug vigorously with their sharp beaks to pull the long threads loose from the mop. From which you may gather the mop is still on the chicken pen roof. That's right--it is. It had practically outlived its usefulness anyway, and I am certainly getting more satisfaction from watching the waxwings at work than I would ever find in pushing that same mop around the floors. v * . & * Now what else is there to seer Oh yes, there are some weeds over there that have got Partner wor- ried. No, 1 don't mean chicory or thistles--we have got past worry- ing about them. The two weeds I refer to are '"stink-weed" and mustard. Mustard is one weed we have never had very much of on this farm, and stinkweed not at all Gwendoline P. Clarke GINGER FARM - - - until the last two years But we saw plenty of it out West--more to our surrow--and the reason we are worried rbout it now is because if much of it gets into Ontario pasture ficlds and the cows eat it, then it will taint the milk, Out West we sold cream all the time and more than once we had a can of cream rejected because of "stink-weed taint". So of course you can quite understand why Partner is disturbed at its some- what sudden appearance here in Ontario. * * * The next thing i.--how did tt get here? Well, of covrse we can't prove anything--but we surpect a lot. For this reason: the vnly place - where we find stinkweed and mustard growing on ow farm is where 1 scattered feed for the chickens the last two years. And the grain I was feeding was West- ern wheat! The conclusion we ar rived at is obvious. In case you are interested--or alarmed -- stinkweed has a small white cluster of blossums very similar to that of Shepherd's purse, The .seed-pods are flat, almost heart-shape, a quarte. to three- eighths of an inch across, and form during the month of June. I suppos. tlie weed has a botani- cal name but we- *.ver heard it. It was always "stinkweed" -- a vulgar but descriptive name in- deed.
