"I’ut down my pack!” Ik 1 ordered Shorty, who wtis attendirfy him. ‘T,ij;hf some ntmlles and pin some thing over the window, and then tp*t out !” In n minute Hathwtiy and Joyce were alone. Tlie girl shuddered as the rahdle lli'ht revealed the man’s face to her. She had seen It so many times In fearful dreams, and all the way up through the runs’e. When she had married Pathway she had hoped against hope that something would intervene to save her; but now the Mow had fallen. And she stood <|tilte stilj, her hands crossed on her breast, waiting for what was to come. Then Pathway seized her in his arms. He kissed her ice-co.ld Ups, cheeks, eyes, and throat. Ills hands went pHwInjj over her. And jjs she still stood unreslstant and unrespon sive, his passion grew the Mercer, and mingled vviUi fury at the realization that this girl, so submissive in his arms, was his in body alone. He released her and, in tils rage, began to growl out jeers and curses. “A different honeymoon from what you were expecting, Joyee girl,!.’%he cried. "\o, no, the same honeymoon, hut a different husband. A better one, eh, my girlV Well, can t you speak? Which of your two men do ,you |ire- fer?” Put Joyce made no reply. “You’ve answered me, you drab!” Pathway shouted. “So you’ve been living with him on the trail these two weeks past ! Py heav en, 1 was a fool to take you hack from him without killing liim ! You thought I’d swallow that lie about your haVjng forgotten you were a married wonian, did you? I>ld you ever hear of a wjiumin forget ting that she was marrieit?” Joyce only watched him with a fixed gaze that made him uneasy. "You won’t pretend to me that your relations with him were innocent, 1 suppose?'’.. Still Joyce said nothing, and Path way grasped her by the wrists. "Answer me! Were they?" "Yes, they were innocent." The words issued mechanically from' her lips. He ghired at her, incredulous, wanting to he convinced, unable to he. .<if course the girt was lying. He would rattier have known the Worst thar remain in that state of uncer tainty. lie didn t understand her.

Put as «,Iv tried to seize her in hm yrms again, she drew fivvu*> suddenly, slopped— and then he saw that she had a hunt ing knife in her hand. { "Listen to me now, Jallies Path- •v * wav," she said, still speaking in the ■same strained, monotonous tone. * "I shal! never lie yours.

And now I’ve got you, «ml you tell me you will never—” lie was pressing toward her, hut she held the dagger pointed at him. and lie stopped, afraid of the look in her -eyes. ' ■ ■ <■ ' "Joyce, don't be foolish. Put that twice. The first .time you forced, me into a marriage with you by the threat that unless 1 consented you would be tray my father to the police. I married you, and still you betrayed him.’’ “I did not. Somwne else must have done so. Why should I have be trayed him? He was my friend." "Yon. \Vere the only man who knew his 'secret. Then the second time, knowing that I would never live with yon, yon sent me a lying message to lure me up here, saying that you held, my father In your power. You knew that polling else on earth would bring me up to you. And it was a lie, be- eniise my father has bee'n dead for months past.” Pathway’s face blanched. ‘T don't believe that story. How do you kpovv?’’ "He tiled in his mine. His body lies at the^hottom of If, where he was stricken. If you-did not know that the was dead, at least you were lying When you said la* was in your powv*r.” “He lies at the bottom the bottom of the mine?" Pathway stammered. “I—I didn't kuJvv.’’ lie seemed to my # dearie!’’ he cried trinpiphently. "Anu re going to make that Inver of yours tell you the secret 'of the mine.' You’ll do It when you’ve learned to love me. And, by heaven, I’m going to make you!” She screamed and beat furiously at his face, impotent in his grasp. They wrestled to and fro. So violent was tiie girl's resistance that for a moment or two she held. Pathway at, Pay, beat ing her fists in his face again and again, and drawing blood from his nose and lips. The fury of iter resistance only made her the more desirable in his eyes. He held her fast now, her arms forced to her sides again, his bloodshot eyes leering into hers, his black heard sweeping her cheek. In the room they had taken at the rear of the house the three men, who were drinking and playing cilrds, hear- 1 ing the girl’s screams'and the sounds ’of tlie struggle, hurst into mirth, and came tipuvelng along the passage. Joyce, making one- final, -desperate effort, hroke-'~onoe more out of Path way’s arms, burst through’ the. do<»r, and ran screaming along the passage. She £of the front door open. "Lee! Lee! Come,to me!" she cried in wild abandonment. Then Pathway's,amis closed about lo r from behind, and Joyce ceased to struggle. *- (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.)

After Saul w’as baptized lie remained certain days with the Relievers in 1 »a- maMiis (v.. 19). How laautiful to think of the transformation which took plnoe—the one who was so passionate^ ly bent on tlieir destruction was now enjoying' fellow ship with the disciples, '2. St taigiitway Preaching in tlie Synagogues (v; 20). Saul, like every one who is really converted, begins to tell of tlie newly found Savior. As soon as he is saved j lie goes to save others. His message i concerned tin* deity of CIlrAt. His doctrinal belief is summed up in six words, "He is the Son of (Jed." 3. The People Amazed (v. 21). They knew - that the very one who ijad been the ringleader i,n persecuting the Christians tn Jerusalem, and hud cm.ip to Damascus for the express pur pose of bringing them bound to tlie chief priests, was now passionately ad vocating that which tie had '■o vehe mently sought to destroy. When a man is saved there ought to he sin h a change iis to cause the people to notice it. 4. Tin^ Jews Confmindm] (v. 2!?). Saul iVtired into Arabia for three years. During this time ho w as taught the full truths of his ministry (Hal. 1:17 ]s). Saul increased* in spiritual strength and eonJut^nded the Jews, -.proving that Jesus was not only the Son of (iod, but their Messiah. , II. Saul Escapes From the Jevws (vv. 23-25). * He used the Scrijituns w;i!)i such skill that the Jews-oo+ihl not answ er him. ^Finding tiiat the iirguTnent was against them, tlie Jews took counsel iiovy they might destroy Saul.

Tlie believers at Jerusalem had not heard fully about . Saul’s conversion. They knew nothing of ids sojourn in Arabia, and ids "preaching at Damas cus after ids return. Therefore they regarded him as a spy. “Part of tha penalty of wrongdoing is tlie difficulty of restoration in tlie good opinion of honorable men.” 2. Barnabas’ Confidence in Saul (v. 27).

He was not content merely to visit with the brethren. He s-pnke boldly in tiie name of tiie Lord Jesus Christ. IV. Saul Sent to Tarsus (v. 30). A conspiracy similar to,that one at -T\ Damascus was formed against Saul. When the brethren knew pf it they sent him to Tarsiis. Said’s life was la danger everywhere except among the Gentiles. He now is hack to the place of ids birth. The firat and la st place for one's testimony is in ids home. Saul's conversion was typical of tlie conversion of the Jewish nation. Their eyes will he opened by a per sonal revebrfion of Jesus Christ to them, and when they accept Him as their Savior and Messiah, they will go forth as witnesses to tiie Cell tiles.
