This glory hi turn dulled and the leaves, like petals of withered j flowers, begun to drift to the earth.! Through the shower of them wont Krskine and Firefly, who had become as used to the wilds as to the smiling j banks of the far-away James. And j the two now were one in mutual affection and a mutual understanding that j was uncanny. The bey was the sop of a king again, 1 and us such was on his way in answer to the wish of a king. For food lie ! carried only a little sack of salt, for his rUe would bring him meat and ; the <orest would give him nuts and frith. When the ?un was nearing its I highest, he "barked" a squirrel from , the trunk of a beech; toward sunset; a fat pheasant llutten d from the 1 ground to a low limb anil he shot 'ts i head ofr and camped for the night. On tl e second day lie reached the 1 Dionu Dimiiiu inui mm iru u> iuv miii- j licks ami on io the river, and then j memories eaine. He remembered a ! place where the Indians hail cpjnped i after they had captured himself and i his mother, la his jnlud was a faint picture of her sitting against a tree and weeping and of ari Indian striking | her to make her stop and of himself leaping at the savage like a little wildcot, whereat the others laughed li5>e children. Farther on. next day. was the spot where the Indians had separated them and he saw his mother ho more. They told him that she had been taken back to the whites, but lie [ was told later that they had killed her because in their flight from the whites she was holding them bock too 1 much. Farther on was a spot where they had hurried from the trail and thrust him Into a hollow log, barring the exit with stones, and had left him for a day and a night, fr On the seventh day he*was rearing the village, where the sick chief lay, .

Several bucks had ) caught up bow or rifle at the report . of tlte gun and the clatter of hoofs, but their hands relaxed when they saw his sign of peace. The squaws The Squaws Gathered and There Were Grunts of Recognition and Greeting ! When the Boy Pulled Up in Their Midst. I i gathered and there were grunts of 1i recognition and greeting wiicn tlic hoy* | pulled up In their midst. The lhips of . tlie chief's tent parted and his foster- i ] mother started toward lain with a sud- , i den stream of tears and turned quick- ; ly back. The old chiefs keen black j1 eyes were waiting for her and lie | spoke before she could open her lips: | "White Arrow! It is well. Here?at | once 1" I Erskine lmd swung from his horse , and followed. The old chief measured j. him from head to foot slowly and his i face grew content: 11 "Show me the horse!" i The boy threw hack the flaps of the tent and with a gesture bade an Indian to lead Flrclly to and fro. The horse even thrust his beautiful head over his master's shoulder and looked j within, snorting gently. Kali too ; waved dismissal: "You must ride north soon to entry the white wampum and a peace talk. And when you go you must hurry back, for when the sun is highest on the day after you return, my spirit will pass." And thereupon lie turned his face and went back into sleep. Just before sunsetf ride-shots sound- , ed in the distance?the hunters were corning .in ? ami the accoiuennying I1 t f L' , m??n?pm^?i ftt eev^M Ppf uawingsto&%|! j^SC RJ B N ERS whoops meant great success. Each of throe bucks carried a deer over liis shoulders, and foremost of the tliree was Crooked Lightning, who barely paused when lie saw Erskine, and then with an Insolent glare and grunt | passed him and tossed Ids deer at the ! feet of tTie squaws. The hoy's hand I slipped toward the handle of Ids tonia- ! hawk, hut some swift instinct kept him ! still. The savage must have had good ' reason for such open defiance, for the lad began to feel that many others shared in his hostility and he began to wonder and speculate. Quickly the feast was prepared and the hoy ate apart?his foster-mother bringing him food?hut he could hear tin; story of tlie day's hunting and the allusions to the prowess of Crooked I Lightning's son. Black Wolf, who was Krskine's age, and he knew they were j hut slurs against himself. Fresh wood was thrown on' the fire, j and us its light leaped upward the lad ! saw an aged Indian emerge from one of two tents that sat apart on a little j rise?saw him lift both hands toward ! the stars for a moment and then re- , turn within. I,. ncl'n.l "The new prophet," said his mother, "lie 1ms been hut one moon here and has much power over our young men." 1 An armful of pine fagots was tossed ] on the blaze, and In a whiter leap of i light he saw the face of a woman at 1 the other tent?saw her face and for : a moment met her eyes before she shrank hack?and neither face nor eyes belonged to an Indian. Startled, be caught bis mother by the wrist and all but cried out: "And that?" The old woman hesitated and scowled: "A paleface. ICr.htoo bought her and adapted tier but"?the old woman gave i; little guttural cluck of triumph?"she dies tomorrow. Knhtoo will bunt her." "Bura her? ' hurst out the boy. "The palefaces- have killed many of Kahtoe's kin!" A little.later when he was passing near the white woman's tent a girl s it it: front of it pounding corn in k mortar. She looked up at him and, staring, smiled. She had the skin of the j luilf-breed, and he stopped, startled by that fact and her beauty?and went quickly on. At old Kahtoo's lodge he ! could not help turning to look at her j again, and this time she rose quickly | and slipped within the tent. He turned ; to find his foster-mother watching him. ! "Who Is that girl?" The old woman looked displeased. "Daughter of the white woman." | "Does she know?" "Neither knows." "What Is her name?" "Early Morn." Early Morn and daughter of the , white woman?ho would like to know ! more of those two, and he half turned, but the old Indian woman caught him by the arm: "Do not go ihere?you will only make more trouble." He followed the flash of her eyes to the edge of the firelight where a young Indian stood watching and scowling: * "Who is that?" "Itlnok Wolf, son of Crooked Lightning." "Ah!" thought Ersklne. Within the old chief called faintly ' nnd the Indian woman motioned the i lad to go within. The old man's dim 1 ryes had a new fire. "Talk!" he commanded, and motioned to the ground, hut the lad did not squat Indian fashion, hut stood draight with arms folded, and the chief knew that a conflict was coming. Narrowly he watched White Arrow's face and hearing?uneasily felt the ; strange new power of him. "I have been with my own people," j mid the lad simply, "the palefaces j who have come over the big nioun- | tains, on and on almost to the big wa- j ters. I found my kin. They are many j and strong and rich. They, too, were | kind to mo. I came because you had ! been kind and because you were sick i nnd because you lmd sent for me, nnd to keep my word. "I have seen Crooked Lightning. Ills j lienrt is had. I have seen the new prophet. I do not like him. And I have seen the white woman that you ; ire to burn tomorrow." The lad cliimnul lllv nini-v ivnnl l.nil lwwm defense or indictment and more than ! nee tht' old chiefs eyes shifted un- | easily. The dauntless mien of the hoy, his steady eyes, and his hold truthfulness, [ leased the old man. The lad must I lake his place as qjiief. Now White j Arrow turned questioner: "I told you 1 would come when the i leaves fell and 1 am here. Why Is Crooked Lightning here? Why is the new prophet? Who is the woman? j What has she done that she must die? What is the peace talk you wish me j lo carry north?" The old man hesitated long with closed eyes. When he opened them the tire was gone and they were dim again. "'ldie story of the prophet and Crooked T.Ighti'hijj Is too lonjj," he .... . * '.A . . .. 'I s:ii?l wearily. "I will tell tomorrow. The woman must 'lie because her people have slain mire. Besides, she is growing blind and Is a trouble. You j carry the white wampum to a council. i The Slsuwnees may join the British ! against our enemies -the palefaces." 'I will wait." said the lad. "1 will 1 carry the white wampum. If vou war against the paleface on this side of (the mountain?T am your enemy. If ! you war with the British against them I all?I am your enemy. And the wom| tn must not die." "I have spoken." said the old man. i "I have spoken." said the hoy. ITe turned to lie down and went to sleep. The old rnnn sat on. staring out a.* the : | stars. Just outside the tent a figure slipped away as noiselessly as a snake. When I it rose and emerged from the shadows | I the firelight showed the malignant, tri- j umphnnt faee of Crooked Lightning.

Daniel was the leader In that prayer meeting. He called his fellows together and most definitely prayed to God. Tfieir uvea were nr stake: their need was great. 2. Daniel's ascription of praise to God (vv. 10-23). God heard their prayer and Daniel responded In lofty strains of praise to God. 3. Daniel before the king (vv. 2430). Because he had been with the Lord and had obtained wisdom, he was confident before the great king. 4. The content of the dream (vv. 31-35). Daniel mnde known to the king flint In ids dream he had beheld a great image with a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron and feet part of Iron and part of clay. He beheld the image smitten by a stone and the stone became a great mountain. III. The InterptetatidVof the Dream (vv. 30-40). 1. The head of gold represented the Chaldean monarchy with Nebuchadnezzar as Its head (vv. 37, 38). With the accession of Nebuchadnezzar to the throne, the times of the Gentiles began. -. J.ne oreasi unu anus ui bu\ci represented the Medo-Persian power (v. 30). The Medo-Persian empire was a kingdom inferior to the Chaldean. 3. The belly and thighs of brass represented the CJrecian empire under | Alexander the Great (v. 39). 4. The leas of iron represented the; Roman empire (vv. 40-43). (1) The two legs represented the! eastern and western divisions of the1 Roman empire. (2) The feet of iron and clay represented the two elements j of human government, which inhered | in the Roman empire and are present; today in all forms of government,1 namely, absolutism and socialism, or; imperialism and democracy. These elements have no coherency. o. The stone cut out of the mountain (vv. 44, 45). This is the kingdom of heaven so graphically set forth In the New Testament, for the kingdom of heaven is the kingdom which the, God of heaven shall set up. (1) The' stone Is Christ (Isa. 28:10; Matt, j 21:42-44). (2) When did the stone strike? The impact of the stone j was upon the feet of the columns (v. 34). This shows that it did not strike at Christ's first coining. for the Roman empire was a unit | at that time; not even the division of the empire as represented by the two leys had taken place as yet. The stoiw* smiting the feet shows that the stone will strike when the Itomnn empire shall have been divided up Into ten kingdoms. (.'!) The kingdom of heaven is thus seen to he brought into realization through a great catastrophe. The end is not by gradual and peaceful extension through preaching the gospel, hut by a crushing blow. The stone does not till the earth by crowding the colossus out, neither by securing its submission to God, but destroying it. Gentile dominion shall end in a crash; upon Its ruins shall be built the kingdom of heaven. The action of the stone Is of Judgment, not grace. The text plainly says it is "after" the stone has done Its smiting work that it becomes a great mountain and fills the whole earth (see Psalms .">, (5; Zech. 14:1-0). Just as the first part of this dream was literally fulfilled, so shall the last part he fulfilled. Messiah's kingdom shall be a real and literal kingdom. of public officials who should have an ticipated the present condition, and the selfishness of those who seek privileges from the government are re- ! sponsible for the imprisonment ot the large number of former service men, J who. he says, are in jail. "There was plenty of money in the public treasury to pay war contracts," he said, "plenty of money to pay pure gruff, plenty of money to pay the swivel chair patriots, in fact there were millions for every purpose that smacked of graft or profiteering, and nothing for lite soldier boy but prison walls and poverty or privation.

This has been called a young nun's era. But that is hardly true, because big undertakings have been initiated and compu ted by young in< n slr.ee the | beginning of recorded history. Alexander the Great finished his conquests of the eastern world before he was thirty. Caesar was not twenty when he became prominent in Roman politics, and he was the leading spirit in Roman affairs before thirty. Peter the Great exhibited wonderful military genius before lie was sixteen. Xapoleon was twenty-four when he distinguished himself at the siege of Toulon, and laid the foundation of his future. Washington was only twenty-three when ho was made commander-inchief of the forces of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson, wrote the Dcelararation of Independence when he was twenty-three. Alexander Hamilton was a member of congress at twenty-five and a member of President Washington's cabinet, at thirty-two. Daniel Webster entered congress at thirty and Henry Clay was appointed a senator at twenty-nine, before he was of constitutional age. Llvy began his "History of Roman States" at twenty-four.
