Flynn forglvea the theft, and Drake, until hla death, tm preaaea on the boy, Steve, the debt they owe "Old Jim." Twenty yeara later, 8teve meeta "Youni Jim" Flynn, hla benefactor' a son. Sent by Old Jim, In capacitated through an accident In which Kate, hla daughter, la tempo rarily blinded, to take charge of the company'a ? the . Polaris ? wooda op eratlona, the y<&uth la Indulging In a drunken apree. Hoping to do some thing for. Old .Jim, Steve hastens to the company'a headquarters, finding Frana plotting agalnat the Flynn In terests. Worsting Frana in a (1st fight, the Polaris crew assumes that Drake Is Flynn's son, and he takes charge, as "Young Jim." A photograph of Kate, which Steve finds, intrigues him Im mensely. Steve gains the friendship of LaPan#, woods scout, and adds to Frana's hate by driving him away from Mary Wolf, Indian girl whom he has been abustng. Frana discovers Drake's Impersonation. Threatened with die closure, Steve accuses Frana of at tempting to murder him, exhibiting evidence, and the man dare not act. CHAPTER IV ? Continued With a great bound he was gone, flying after the children as fast as he had rushed on another day. But this time he did not pursue to malm or kill. When he overtook the children he ran among them, bunting them aside, licking ecstatically at hands and faces, frolicking like a spaniel puppy ! LaFane gave his deep chuckl? agnln. "Bu t how In the name of Heaven?' Drake Insisted. "I had It to do. And when a man has a thing to do It must be done. Isn't that so? When you first saw him, I had had hlui here only -three days. I had been watching him, try ing to find out what he was like. I knew him pretty well hut I made one mistake: I was careless about the strength of the chain that held him. I should have made sure of that, know ing him as well as I did, and with the children here." He was still a moment. "He whs as dangerous as I'd jessed. If It had not been for you, we would be bearing a great sorrow now. I took him that afternoon Into the bush. Just the two of us. He came back . . . mine." . "You knocked the poison all out of him?" LaFane shook his head. "No. I did not strike him often. When I did, of course, it counted. That was one thing. After that was ovei\ I put him In harness. I made him drag things through the brush. I let him get hung up and then forced him to try his bfest to pull loose. His best, understand; made him pull his heart out. And then, when he'd used all his strength and could not get free, I helped him. When he found out that he had a Job to do and could not do It without my help, and that he must put Into trying all the strength of mus cle and' heart that he had before I would help or else suffer . . . why, then he was all mine." Steve sat down witjM surprised ? -JSEjld-'fcfte other smiled "It works; -with dogs and with men. There {in* few outlaw dogs, Just as there arT few outlaw men. Give a man or a dog an Idea of his duty, of his Job, and see that he knows he must do It? knows clear down to the roots of his heart that he must? and there you are. "If I had Rhot him that day after ho rushed my babies It would have been a coward's way out and they would have known It. You gave me tho chance to finish what I had planned to do without . . . without b? -1 coming to my home. That Is why I have been waiting to do some thing, anything, for you." Steve, oddly touched, growlod that LaFane owed him nothing. "But men and dogs, LaFnne . You've not always lived hero thon?" "I have tried living In many places." "And handled men?" "Handled 7 Handled 1 I've herded men. I was a .deputy wnrden In a big penitentiary once." "Didn't like man herding?" "Didn't ifke seeing them herded without a chance to find and unearth the thing that would make them fit and safe to walk and work alone, free. Some, of course, must always be herd ed : the weak ones. But so many of the others never have a chance, be cause of had handling." Drake thought rapidly ns he re celved this confidence. "You think, then, that If you hsd a chance you could break men nn you break dogs?" "I'm no breaker, I ssy. I can handle men, yes. That Is an ahswer to yotir Question, I have done It. I did It In the prison, a doctor and I. Between i us we sent many on parole that might ! hare been there yet . . . bolng broken ?lowly; what was left of them, you understand." Steve locked his hands around one kDee and stared out across the lake. ? .'"Do you like to try handling men? Young men? Who are strong enough but who haven't discovered them selves yet?" :4,No, I'm happy here, with the dogs my family. But .... you've a man In mind?" "I.ftJTarie, can I trust you to keep a secret? A special, personal secret which Involves others." MI have kept It" "What? - You mean . . . you've guensod ?omethlng?" By HAROLD TITUS Copyright by Harold Tltua VVNU Barvtc* "I have not even told myself that: you are not Young Jim Flynn." "Weil, how In ? When did ? Who ' told you that, LaFane?" ' "You." "I? I haven't breathed It !**y ? "No. You have said nothing. You have, been smart and wise.* Btit* the first day I took the mall up .to your cabin I walked In quietly. I thought you were out but you were sitting there at a table and you thought, even though I surprised you, that you put It away In time. But you did not. I saw It In your face as you looked at It "No man, you know, would look at his sister's photograph as you were looking at Knte Flynn's." Steve felt himself flushing. He re called how he had been^Ve-readlng her letters that first day In his new cabin and of how his heart had speeded up when he looked at her likeness. "Well, there's nothing much for me ? to say !" he laughed, abashed. "And no need of It. Yoxir business Is not mine. Why you came as you did, I don't know. I'm not curious, even. I know what you have done, which Is to save Old Jim's hide for a time, anyhow. That Ismail that matters. He, too, Is my friend." "Thanks," said Steve, feeling that any words were Inadequate. "I'm glad you found out nbout me for yourself. I was wondering how to tell It. . . . "Now, here's my present prob lem . . ." and swiftly he told of how he had blundered on Young Jim, of how he had come to masquerade and of the worry which Franz's news to day had Riven him. "And If I leave the Job and try to persuade Young Jim to stay away or to brace him up, things may all go to the devil before I can return." The other agreed. "Do you suppose you could do two Jobs in one? Keep the boy awny until we have a chance to see what can be done toward putting this thing really on Its feet and, while you're doing it, handle him as ... as you handled Duke? I can't keep this game up very long. But untn Old .Tim gets squared away somebody must be in charge who has a clear head and the respect of the men." "You're asking that?" "I am." "Where Is hp?" Steve pondered. "How^much red clay is there in this country? "Within a day's travel, I mean." "Only in one place. On a portage between the Good-Bye and the Mad Woman." "I came that way. And the bottom of Franz's cnnoe was smeared with It today. It was fresh, lie had Just come across the carry." "If Young Jim Is still on the Mad Woman and bound to come here, It will be across that trail. If the rest are with him, It may be not too easy." La Fane shrugged and rose. "I will do what I can do." Then, without speaking further he walked toward his house. Stove stood* j on the-beach watching him and think Irtg that, for -such a situation, no bet ter man could fiave been found to ac compllsljuallltfeat "might bfe done. But after LaFane had departed on his mission another probfem nroqe In Steve's mind. Mary Wolf had been headed for the Mad Woman. If Franz had been that way, might It not be that he had gone to look for her and cause trouble? But if so, he reasoned as this suspicion arose, she had either rebuffed or eluded the man. Franz had been alone today and he had it from Tim Todd that he had gone on down the lower river, telling some one that ho was headed for the I,alrd's. CHAPTEK V And that night, up the waters that Steve had descended on his way to Good-Bye went another lone man In a canoe. LaFnne'S park was light and he paddled steadily until he was well past the wood camp. Steve had de scribed the cnmplng spot where he had met Flynn but none with a good eye would have needed the directions he gave because smoke was rising from a camp-fire ngalnst the afterglow. LaFane Idled along waiting for night to come, then he let his canoe drift Into the ruslies and sat listening to the sounds that came ffom tho camp. Sounds of revelry, they mostly were ; the snatch of a song, loud laughter, n careless oath occasionally. For a long time LaFane sat listen ing and watching ; then he backed noiselessly away, paddled half a mile, landed, concealed his canoe In tho bushes and slept In a single blanket. Ho did not sleep long. He was up while many stars were still brilliant, folded his blanket, ?te a cold snack and waited for the coming dawn. When light was strong he began to walk slowly and silently through the timber. He did not stop until ho could observe the activity about tho camp. Smoky, the guldo, was up. Two of the three young men who comprised the party were washing In the lake. "Heady for cakes now?" Smoky asked. "Dick and I'll be. Jim, though, he's dead to tho world." The guide grunted and drew the cof fee pot from tho fire. I.aFano heard tho others try to rouse Flynn, saw them finish their breakfast and then begla rigging their rv>ds. ? "Last day I" said one. "D ? a, what ? head!" They embarked shortly, the three la, one canoe. LaFane went directly to the tent, Jerked the flap aside and looked down at the sleeping figure there. . The face was upturned. It would have been a handsome one under nor mal conditions, but now It was lined deeply with the ravages of dissipation LaFane stooped. "You 1" - he said gruffly. The sleeper made no re sponse. "Jim !" lie shook the lad's shoulder l^ut, except for a long breath. Flynn made no response. The man went over the packs care fully and finally selected one that con tained apparel which would fit the sleeper, discarding that which by any chance might belong to the others, and packing those belongings which were obviously Jim's. This done, he carrlod the pack to the canoe on the shore and set the craft in the water. The other canoe had disappeared among the Islands; no sound of human origin rewarded the straining of his ears. LaFane returned quickly'to the tent, slung the recumbent figure to his shoulder and bore Young Jim, with little apparent effort, down to the shore and laid him gently In the bot tom, head on the duffle In the bow. The boy mumbled In protest and brushed at his face. Once he tried to sit up but abandoned the effort and sank back to his stupor. Observing this LaFane left Mm, broke a stick and scratched In the sand on the landing the following mes sage In bold ch:|-acter? : "On my way. Good luck. J. F." With a grim smile he Bhoved off and paddled down the lake. He kept on for an hour, watching the sleeping man with him until he commenced to show signs qf restless ness. Then at a point of exposed rock ledge he halted and stopped out of the canoe. He made the craft fast and 'eaned down to shake the sleeper roughly. "You !" he said. "Come out of It, now. Get up!" "Lemme 'lone, fellers. . , . Gotta res'. . . "Get up before you get hurt !" ? sharply. Young Jim came to life with a be wildered start. His perplexed eyes finally came to rest on LaFane's fnce. "Who the devil 're you?" he de manded. "My name's LaFnne. Come along. We're going to make camp." This was spoken casually as though they were old companions. "Camp? Say, where the devil are we? And what . . ." The boy frowned and made a wry face. "We're on our way to Good-Bye, " LaFane said. "Get out and have a drink; water, this time. It'll help you clear your head." This suggestion coincided with a need, evidently, for Young Jim got stiffly out of the canoe, lny down on the ledge and buried his face in the clear waters of the stream. He drank at length, with frequent Interruptions for breathing. As he did this LaFane bore the canoe up Into a protecting screen of bushes, careful to disturb them as little as possible. There was" "H chance that those three back yonder would suspect something and come searching. -He wanted no complica tions. ReturnliiK to the stream he stood looking somberly down at his charge. Thirst slacked, mind somewhnt cleared by the bathing, Young Jim hitched himself up on one hip. "Now," he said, pleasantly enough, "what the h ? J's this all about? How does it come that you're giving me orders?" "I came after you." "From Good-Rye?" "Yes." "Who Bent yon?" "Never mind that." ? The boy frowned. "Are we on our way there now?" "Might say so. A roundabout way." "What d'you mean by that?" He rose, belligerent now. "We are going to Goi d-Bye when you're fit to go. Thnt will be when you can be of some use there." The lad's lower lip dropped and ho wiped his hands on his hips. "Say, LaFane, or whoever you are . . . how'd I get bore with you? Who're you to tell me what I'm going to do? And when? Where do you got your authority for all this?" "Here," wild his companion, spread ing his hands. "Just In these ... if I need to exercise It." His voice was almost gentle and the light in his eyes was far from hostile. Still, his answer beneath the quiet de livery had been hard as metal. It was tills last which the boy un derstood ; probably he hoard only that and his own face, with Its marks of debauchery, went dark. He clonched his fists menacingly, a threat In his voice. "That's n#t enough I" he said'husklly and. stepping past LaFane strode up the ledge to where the canoe had he??r? cached. "Where are you going?" LaFane's question was stout, challenging. "To get rny outfit. I'm going back to my gang and d^n to you If?" The grip \>T those hands on his nrms checked both words and movement. He was spun about to confront a dlf ferenf I.aFane, a man with glowing eyes and set mouth, "You're wrong again," he saWl quiet ly. "You go where I take you; /oi do as I tell you."

I have showed you* *11 things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to re member the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It Is more blessed to give than to receive. ? Acts 10:36. PRIMARY TOPIC? A Poor Rich Man. JUNIOR TOPIC ? Giving Jesus First Place. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP tC ? The Right Use of Money. YOUNQ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP ? Stewardship of Possessions. The lesson title Is likely to be mis understood nnd the teaching misap plied. Jesus did not directly, nor by Implication, tench thnt eternal life can be obtained by parting with pos sessions. In his dealing with the young man, Jesus showed him his erroneous notion as to personal goodness and endeavored to reveal unto him his own essential nnture. I. A Certain Young Man Came to Jesus (v. 10). For a full view of the characters tic* of this man see Mark 10:17-30 and Luke 18:18-30. 1. F! Is virtues. a. Courageous (Mark 10:7). he was of high standing, a rich young ruler (Luke 18:18, 23). To come to Jesus at this time meant to this young man ostracism from national fellowship. Lt required real courage. b. Earnest (Mark 10:17). He came ?nd knelt before Jesus. c. High aspirations (v. 1G). He wanted eternal life. There was an aching void In his soul in the midst of pleasures which affluence brings. d. IMous and moral (v. 20). From youth up he professed to hu*e con formed to God's holy law. \ e. He believed that Jesus cotoW'In form him of the "good thing" to be done to inherit eternal life. 2. His mistaken notions. a. About Christ (v. 10). He es teemed Jesus to be good but did not apprehend him to be God. b. Concerning himself. He was self righteous. He thought he was good find that he could do something good. c. Concerning eternal life. He thought that eternal life could be ob | talned by good works. H. Christ Dealing With the Young I Man (vv. 17-22). Jesus skillfully led the /oung man to see his errors and then put his finger on the weak spot In his life. t. Jesus' question (v. 17). "Why calleth thou me good?" Without giv ing him a chance to answer he de clared that only God was good, as if to say, "1 am good and therefoie I am God." 2. Jesus' answer to the young man's question (vv. 17-20). "If thon wilt en ter Into life, keep the commandments." Jesus here met him on his own ground, namely that of the law. The law re veals sin and thus shuts the mouth _,Qf A self- righteous sinner (Horn. 3:19). The law curses Instend of saves (Gal 3:10). The gospel was given to save men from the curse (Uom. 1:10, 17). 8. Christ's command (v. 21). R(v plying to Christ's cltnt!6n of the com mandments of the law the young man glibly asserted that he had kept them all from his youth up. In Christ's commnnd to go and sell his posses sions and distribute them to the poor, he put his finger upon the weak spot. 4. The young man's decision (v. 22). He decided against Christ. In the su preme test he chose his wealth. III, The Relation of the Rlcfi to the Kingdom of Heaven ( vv. 23-20). This teaching concerning the peril of riches was most timely. Covetous ness wns fast taking hold of the peo ple. Judas wns well under Its sway. I. Ft Is difficult for the rich to en ter the kingdom (vv. 23, 24). This difficulty lies not In the possession of riches hut In trusting riches. The step from possession to trusting Is a very short one. Riches are deceitful (Matt. 13:22). The tendency of Increasing wealth Is to destroy the nobler life of the soul It lulls Into security (Rev. 3:17); 1t lends to self-Indulgence (I Tim. 0:0), nnd to pride (Kzek. 2fl:r>). Rntrnnce of the rlrh Info the king dom Is possible though difficult (vv. 2/>. 20). It Is possible for the grnce of God n. To sanctify riches. b. To so open a man's eyes that ho may see his downward course nnd re pent. e. To change a mnn from self seek ing to self sacrifice. d. To make men humble. IV. Rewards for Following Chrlet (vv. 2730). ! Those who turn their hacks upon their country awl possessions for Christ's snke shall receive a hundred fold In this life nnd eternal life for the world to come. Trust in th? Lord Perfect trust Is something which Is one of the most charming character istics of childhood, and which It Is a sad thing to see lost through bitter sxperlonce of the faithlessness or cruelty of those about the child.

Why liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor The public is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People havo learned that the right dose of a properly prepared liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative caa be varied to suit the needs of tho individual. The action can thus bo regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathar tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relics on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the average person's bowels back to regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready for use. Member N. R. A. ST.KD CORN ? Paymaster. Tonn. Hed oob, Mlrkory Klnif, yr-llow Pent $2 busl\p|.
