CHAPTER XVIII He had glimpsed the steep side of the precipice at last, and seen what his sister had been watching. Sherwin was standing beside a cliff. high on the trail. Below him, two hundred feet, dashed the cataract; along the narrow, dizzy ledge, as yet unaware of him, came Stenhart -- Cautiously, scuching, peering this way and tha, unaw ce that nis quarry saw him. waited for him. alone!

Tt was like a nightmare, the creeping. creeping u that ledge 10 meet Death, Jim caught his breath, A cloud had obscured the sun, and as it soiled away he saw Sherwin's face as he croucled, leaning forward, ready! One thrust and Stenhart-- coming on, unaware of him---would go down--down. "Jane covered her face with her hands, but it was Jim who cried rout hoarsely, tried to shout a warnmg; then, realizing its futility, he groaned aloud. "Good God, he's going 10 kill him!" 1 cried. + * + Sherwin had stepped out from his hiding-plice; he scemed to tower, vengeance incarnate. Sten- he, stood still an instant, frozen in his tracks. His drawn pistol fell from his hand: he scemed to slink together in martal terror, Then, as the man le had hunted n ther moved nor spoke, he tot- tered back, stumbled and fell head- lcng over ane narrow ledge. It had happened in an instant, in the twinkling of an c¢ye. Sher wi. waiting for his letrayer, saw him -- untouched, unscathed -- ctumple up, cel backward and plunge over the edge of the (pre- cipice. So swift was it, that he neither. moved nor spoke; for. a full 'minute he stared blankly at the spot where Stenhart had dis- appeared. A strange sensation swept him, he grew dizzy himself; his head swam, and the hills seemed to rise up Hout him in awful majesty. He knew nothing of the men who were creeping' to- werd him througn the woods; he believed himself aloe, alone with that awful power which had seized his enemy and brus. ed him like a f' from the ledge! Slewly he took a step foraar. and, steadying him- self, looked over the brink. Thirty feet below him that soliary stumed tree thrust out its dwarfed trunk from the heer side of the preci: pice. Sprawled across it, limp, mo- tionless, lif less, hung Stenhart, sprawling limbs, his hanging head, Th» white froth of the boiling or- rent below him outlined his his ghastly upturned face. * * ' * He was not dead! Even as Sher- win looked, he saw him move his head in the torture' of pain and fear; it was more .errible than a swift wiping out of life, for death wa. playing a game of hide and seek with lim. A movement, -al- most a breath and he would go down into eternity, and if he hung there -- with no mortal .elp at hand -- he must perish thus! [It could not be for long, but Sherwin, looking down at him, knew that he was conscious and saw no help, only the face of the wan who had sworn to ill him! Revenge ex- quisite in his torments, was ac- complished, Sherwin need = but stand there and see him die! Even as he looked, he saw the old tree begin to waver 'under the dead weight of the fallen body; its roots were loosenit pin their age-old crevice of rock. In a little while, long pefore help could reach Sten- hart, it would bend downward, An- nihilation waited = there, eternity yawned for him, and he knew it! Sherwin, grasping a ledge of i " rock to steady himself, looked down at the helpless man who had be- trayced him. Stenhart, looking up dizzily, saw him and tried to lift a feeble hand in entreaty, It was bh ond his' strength. He hung there, feeling. the tree sway Dbe- neath him, helpless, at the end of hope. * * * Sherwin straightened himself suddenly; he had Leard a distant sound, voices in the woods! In- stantly, he divined the truth; Sten- hurt had again betrayed him, they were after him. But he had ample time to reach his cave, and once there they would not get him, for he knew the other opening and it was safe. Nor could they save Stenhart; the tree was giving! Five minutes more--and he would be avenged! He need not stir a finger, and Jane, who had besaught him not wo slay, would know that there was no blood upcn his hands! He drew a deep breath; almost at his feet lay the coil of rope that he had dropped when he met Jane. He saw ic and remembered the purpose had had in mind.» The minutes seemed to heat themselves mto his brain, his pulses throbbed, his hips were parched. He stooped, reached for the rope and, uncoiling it, wound it about the great trunk of a sycamore, then, tossing the leng end over the side of the abyss, he grasped it and began to descend, h nd over hand. "The rope swung out and then went taut with his weight, Little by little he lowered himself and, as he went down he glanced aside at the tree under Stenhart, It was vielding, one crack more in the straining bark and it would snap! Swinging at the -ope's end in space, Sherwin, the avenger, risked his hfe.

Golden Text s-- God is a spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and ia truth.--John 4:24. Moses' Warning Moses is led by God to warn the Israclites of a weakening faith as they prospered materially, It is a grievous fault in human nzture to so enjoy material bless- ings as to rest our security in them, The exhortation of our Lord is the only wise -and safe rule for the individual Christian to fol- low. Waiting Upon God In these verses the prophet Isaiah reveals the weakness of nations and men, and the majesty and power of God. He draws at- tention to the limitations of youth, Being weary does not refer to the flesh; it is the spirit which is ex- hausted. The.e is a spiritual weariness, an cmptiness which the young can feel as well as the ma- ture, It was to mect this spiritual an' "moral cxhaustior,, that Jesus called the weary 10 Himself, The wo.d "renew" means new- ness of life. Inspired with God's enduement of the Holy Spirit" we "nount up", we "run and we are rt weary" in the passionate ser- vice, we "walk, and pot faint" in the common duties of life. What Is Love? Our duty to God is summed up in one word: Love. What is love? To love another is to have a desire fc. and a delight in his welfare, To love God with all the heart and soul and mind and strength is to have a supreme desire for and delight in God's glory, so that everything is secondary to that. Spiritual Love The Second Commandment re- quires that we have the same de- sire for and delight in the welfare of our neighbour as we have in our own welfare. The Second Com- mandment is really involved in the First, for if we love God, whom we have not seen, we must love our nei-hbour whom we have scen, A man cannot love God if he does not love his neighbour for love to God involves love to neighbour, There are many call themselves Christians who lack clear moral discernment. To see the truth clearly shows that one is not far from the Kingdom of God. When one submits to the truth, he is in the Kingdom, ISSUE 29-1046 to-day who TABLE TALKS or T. Spare The Cook . . There are a number of things that help reduce cooking discom- forts in hot weather. For instance, the number of burners used may be reduced to a minimum when a gas, electric or oil stove is used. In the case of a wood or coal stove, it is a little more complicated, but the menus can be so planned that the cook- ing for the whole day is done in the carly part of the day, when it is still * reasonably cool. The double-boiler may be used to cook several foods at one time, The bottom part can cook vegetables whole a dessert or a sauce is be- mg cooked in the top part. If the oven has to be heated for one dish, it is a good idea to make it do at least double duty.

Clarke We have just said good-bye to the last of our young cockerels-- that is, the last of the first hatch, We still have plenty of small birds running around--so we won't be lonesome for a little while yet. We are also enjoying our first shower for about three weeks--and oh dear, how we needed it. (By the way, [ am referring to a shower of rain--not of bath water), The ground is terribly dry. There doesn't scem to be any moisture anywhere--even the leaves on the trecs are wilting. But it has been marvellous haying weather. To date, not onc cutting of hay has been spoilt. I can't remember any thing like it before. * * * This year, for us, the summer seems to be mostly week-ends, I mean with the various members, and near members, of our family coming along cvery week-end like homing pigeons, we have no sooner said "Good-bye" than we are say- ing, "Hullo, you're here againl" And when they come there is a wild scramble for old clothes and shoes--overalls, shirts, slacks, any- thing at all that can be worn' in the hayfield. Half the time nobody knows what belongs to whom and the result is often a general mix-up. Saturday afternoon Bert was turn- ing the house upside down hunting for the overalls he had worn the week Dbelore. He insisted J must have washed and put them away, I was cqually sure I hadn't for the simple reason that I had forgotten about them. While we were still arguing Joy and the men came in with a load of hay. Daughter ex- claimed immediately -- "Look, there's Bert's overalls--Joy's wear- ing them!" And she was--she was also wearing a blouse belonging to Daughter, one of my hats and a pair of sneakers which Bob had routed out from somewhere, Daughter is not quite so trampishl She generally has some kind of an outfit at home to change into-- what there is of it! v x * The dress parade on Sunday morning is also quite characteristic, Partner and Bob shave, bathe, and quite naturally get into something other than work clothes, Bert, the city slicker, absolutely refuses to shave and delights in wearing over- alls and an old collarless shirt. He says he has to shave and wear a tie nearly every day of his life. To do just the opposite is his idea of re- laxation. Partner, on the other hand, cannot relax unless he first gets out of his work clothes.

Ask your druggist for Murine--use it every day. to run around barefoot, and Daughter's is do exactly as she pleases. Bob's idea of rest is to stay not more than five minutes in one place at a time. And Partner's and mine--well, we think it a good idea just to snatch a few odd winks whenever there happens to be a ilttle quictness in the house. But not always--no not. always; some- times I keep our family on the . move. Sunday afternoon, for in- stance I casually suggested a berry reconnoitring trip. And oh dear, what a disappointment--there was hardly a berry anywhere! Whether this is really another off scason or whether the hushes were just killed out in that patch, I don't know. = But won't it be a tragedy if there are no wild berries to pick again this year? * 1 * Well, well, it must be thundering again-=Tippy has just pushed the door open and gone to his hiding place under the kitchen table. I wonder why it is so many dogs are scared of thunder. To tell you the truth I am scared too but for the simple reason that a bad storm might result in our wheat crop being levelled to the ground.
