Having secured a leave of absence from the Persian court, and creden tials from the^klng, Nehemluh Jour^ neyed, to Jerusalem. After resting three days without disclosing his pur pose to any one. he made a survey of tlie walls by night. Having thus ob tained first-hand Information he called the representatives of the Jews to gether and said. *IaT us build the walla of Jerusalem." He then made known the hand of providence In bringing him to Jerusalem with the authority to rebuild Its walls.

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 he turned his face and went back into sleep. Just before sunset rifle-shots sound ed in the distance—the hunters were coming in —and the accompanying whoops meant great success. Each of three bucks carried a deer over his shoulders, and foremost of the three was Crooked Lightning, who barely paused when he saw Erskine, and then with an insolent glare and grunt passed him and tossed his deer at the. feet of the squaws. The boy’s hand slipped toward the handle of his toma hawk, but 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 hi$ hostility and he began |o wonder and speculate. Quickly the feast was prepared and the boy ate apart—his foster-mother bringing him food—but he could hear the story of the day's hunting and (he allusions to (he prowess of Crooked Lightning’s s«*n Black Wolf, v VI l!< * •.

Narrowly he watched White Arrow’s face and bearing—uneasily felt the strange new power of him. **I have been with my own people,” said the lad simply, “the palefaces who have come over the big moun tains, on and on almost to the big wa ters.

When, the two appeared outside, many braves had gathered, for the whole village knew what was in the wind. Should It he a horse race first? Crooked Lightning looked at the boy’s thoroughbred and shook his head— Indian ponies would as well try to out« run an arrow, a bullet, a hurricane. A foot-race? The old chief smiled when Crooked Lightning shook hij head again—no brave in the tribe even could match the speed that gave tha lail his name. The bow and arrow, the rifled the tomahawk? Tomahawks and bows -and arrows were brought out. **• Black WoTf wap half a head shorter, hut stocky and powerfully built. White Arrow’s sinews had strengthened, t>ut he had scarcely' used how' and tomahawk since he had left the tribe. He had the power hut not the practice, and Black Wolf won with great, ease.

When the enemy saw that tlie work uaa actually succeeding they changed from ridl«*ule to an attempt to throw the workmen Into a panic and thus hinder the work. When the enemy cannot succeed by scoffing then he resorts to Intimidation. 3. Conspiracy With the Jewa (4: 10-23). They sought by means of Qie Jews from the outside to discourage their brethren by showing that tbe task was hopeless and that at any time they were subject to a sudden and secret attack. , 4. Greed and Oppression of the Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews .of that day. like the profiteers in the recent Wvrld war, took advantage of the poor and oppressed them so that they mortgaged their land and sold their daughters into slavery. Neheinlah boldly rebuked them for their crimes and ordered a restoration to be made, exacting an oath of them that they would fulfil fheir promises. 5. .Scheme to Take Neheinlah’s L|fe (6:1-14). When Sanhallat and Tobiah failed in every other way they sought by cyaft to get Xehetnlah ,t away that they might kill him. III. The Wall Completed («:ir>-7:4). So energetically did they pursue tfieir^tasks that In fifty-two days the wall was completed. When the en emies- heard that In spltb of all their schemes the work-.war actually com pleted, they Were cast down, for they perceived that the work was of God. aerk* MOTH PROTECTION CAROLINA RED CEDAR CHESTS E.

One of them was a friend of my husband’s family,, and had the repu tation of being a most particular cook and housekeeper. I was, accordingly, a trifle perturbed about the upjiear- anre of the..house and the dinner. ... Just as I began preparations, a neighbor’s child was seriously hurt, and I hurried to the assistance of the distracted mother, after giving Instruc tions to my husband to jwel the pota toes and put them on to boll. When I returned, my guests had arrived. At the- table I nptlced that the potatoes had been peeled carelessly, and apolo gized, explaining that my husband had done them. ..
