renohpd tho promontory.
ilathway, procpded liy <I’|piTe wnd
Shorty wtth flip gold—he Would not
leave It in the rpofor boat—carried the
girl across the neclr-of land to an Iso
lated hut about three hundred .yards
away, following u secret passage
among the reeds. He laid her down
upon the camp bed.\j Joyce lay rigid,
looking at him with dilated pupils, and
still drawing In those shuddering
breaths. Ilathway went out with a
sigh of relief; he was still more afraid
of her In that condition. 1 1..
Another person he feared was Es
telle, and It was with relief he learned
that she was not at the promontory.
Estelle had mid ways of wandering
alone about the country. Ilathway
was glad of this temporary respite.
Going to the stables, a shanty with
two stalls close by, where he kept
two horses and fodder for use In un
expected emergency, he saw that one
of the animals was missing. No doubt
Estelle had gone out riding.
Estelle’s personality was a stronger
one than Rafhwny’s. He could never
cow her by violence,, as he cowed his
men; on the contrary, he feared her
lashing tongue when she was aroused.
He had seen IMem*. Shorty, and
Kramer gloating over the gold, and
he knew that he would? have short*
shrift If once his men suspected that
-he—was -tfmrMt* “to^i?^f"If"-BTtnlftiBt'
them, or If they trusted each other
sufficiently to combine against him.
That was why he had removed It
to the hut In the swamp, approachable
only by a single narrow track.
There were six other tneij at the
promontory, one of them, the man
whom Lee had shot through the hand,
being still disabled. Ilathway set the
whole lot on various Jobs, to keep them
busy during the remainder of the day.
He knew that they would he talking
about the gold 'it night, but he was
making his own plans. And, left alone,
he pared the track, now gloating over
the gold, now over Joyce who still
lay silent on the bed. her lips com
pressed. and that awful look In her
•yea.
He went to her side and cut the
bonds that bound her. There was no
need to guard her; she could not es
cape him. Joyce sat up slowly, still
.looking at him In that, terrible way.
He could not face her eyes. He felt
helpless before her. He needed two
allies—night and whisky. . r
“Come, dearie,V lie hegHn. Itv a voice

“You—murderer!” ‘ ^ -
Ruthway begt a retreat. Her eyes
were 1 blazing like'; a panther'a. Ho
cguldn’t understand his fear of her.
He crossed went Into hla
hut, and \Iegan drinking. HI* mind
was muddled, and worse; his wtll wur
wavering. That girl was bad enough
—then there would be Eslelle to , face.
Curse those women! The mental
picture of Joyce rose up before his
eyes. She had never seemed so de
sirable. He saw her unconscious in
the mine again, with her short, fair
hair hanging about her neck, her eyes
closed, helpless. Curse _ her! Why
had he only been thinking of the gold?
He had had her at his mercy then.
He looked cautiously Into the hut
a^aln. Joyce was still sitting on the
bed. still as a enrveh statue. Itath-
way was beginning to he afraid that
she was going mud.’- If she Would
only give him flu* chance, he wanted
to tell her that he -would share the
gold with her. Why couldn’the
reasonable? It was that d—d Andeis
son ! How long would she be thinking
. r of him?- Weeks, perhaps. v .
His suspicions of Joyce and Ander
son-lashed him, and he raged all the
-afternoon, abusing hla men, and giv
ing them unheard of tasks. He had
the boats cleaned, the engine. Over
hauled, a drum of gasoline nJ ar ^ t j L
the motor boat. He sent 8 o Jne f 00 g
to Joyce. Th*» lnpn grumbled and
went ujjout their work sullenly.
J {u, !iway fancied he saw looks pass-
* n g between them., as If they had
some secret understanding. Hp be
lieved they' were conspiring against
him. And where the devil was Es
telle?
In spite of the hate that he now felt
for ter : he . turned to her in his
thoughts in time of difficulty. Curse
the woman! She was getting too
strong aihold on him! He must send
-heg. pQck4trg«--- r_-
His desire for Joyce was a constant
goad to him. But he was still afraid
of her. He must glvp her time to
weaken. It was not da’rk enough.
And he hud not drunk enough. - ' —
At nightfall the men began a ca
rousal, gathering in a hollow between,
the huts, protected by u sktn rbof and
sides, but open in front, where a huge
fire was kindled. Usually Kathway
kept liquor from them, except when on
long journeys and for the" weekly , de
bauch which he permitted, put now
theV were openly defying his rigid
rule. The possession of the gold had
disintegrated everything.
For Ilathway, too. He cared no
longer. The drunker his followers
became, the better for the plans that
were condensing in his mind.
As he passed, one of the. ‘men de
fiantly held up a bottle, an act that

- The girl did Pot turn her head, and

Rathway Laid the Bag Down in the
Swamp Growth.
No one -would think of looking for It
there, ..anil to hoist It'Into the motor
boat would he a matter of only-Hf'
minute or two.
Looking into the boat, he saw that
Kramer had pi peed the drum of gaso
line In It, as he had (ffdered.
Rathway chuckled. Joyce, the boat
and the gold—and Estelle away !* What
more was needed?
A few,hours’ delay, until the men
were stupefied with wlilsky, then—r
One minute’^ start was all he
needed. Then he was safe. He could
make Lake, Misquush in three days.
There, in the for- north, at the last
outpost of’the Free Traders, run by
the half-breed whom he supplied per
iodically with hooch for sale, he
would remain with Joyce, safe against
pursuit through the long winter. Jin
any event it was not likely that the
gang would’ have the enterprise to
follow’ him. ; ^ * 1
In spring Joyce and he would move
south by other trails. By spring the
'girl would have forgotten Anderson.
It was beginning to- snow again,
ftlmids would cover the moon that,
night. Things oonlcl not have turned
out more favorably- Best of all was
Esielle’s ahsenre.
But then, through the fading, twi^
light, Rathwa^v saw Estelle cdmiirg
toward him along the path through
the reeds.
Ah(L a fury , of resentment rose in
his breast at the sight* of her. He had
never hater? her more.. Why thill he
tolerated this woman so long after she
had ceased tiLmean anything to hiin?
There was, murder In hla Heart‘SI
he advanced to meet her.

- He was a good man. It Is important
In sending a man to follow up the
work of the Spirit that his .charactier
be 'good. He must not only have an
unblemished character, but Ids sym
pathy must , be broad. Jle must be
capable of entering In full apprecia
tion of the. things about him. Barna
bas was full of the Holy Spirit. This
is an essential quallfijcatldn for pas
toral wgrk. Only a Spirit-filled fum
can discern the workings of the Spirit
of God. He was likewise a man of
great ‘faith. Only a man of faith

2fi, 26). . ; >
(a) lie heartily endorsed the work
and earnestly exhorted them to coh-
tinue steadfastly In the faith, an^ to
cleave unto the Lord. There" , are
many nllufements Jo tempt young
Christians^—
(h) He rejoiced over the Ayork
which hud been dpne. This shows
th^it Barnabas could rejoice over the
succes.'rful work dope by others.
/(c) He brought <Saul from Ttlrsus
(^25). » ■ f.
He did morb than merely Inspect
the work. Doubtless, he preache^ also
for many people were added unto the
Lord. The work grew to such an ex
tent that he brought Saul to help him.
They labored together for a year with
great success, and carefully taught
the people. Believers,, after they have
confessed Christ, heed careful teach
ing. Barnabas had the good judg
ment to seek Saul for this Important
work. It Is the duty of church .nifi.
Our Life
We are living now by justice, honor
and mercy, by the moral mastery of
ourselves and of our time; and this
life while in time Is not of time; it is
“[ life In God and for God; it is the,life
of freedom; It Is free from juixiety,
fear, doubt, despair, Meatb t icls con

III. The Disciples First Called Chris,
tians (v. 26).
They were not called by this name
In derision as oftfm asserted. Stifler
well says, “What Luke Intends to con
vey Is that Saul-and Barnabas taught
In the church for a year and the dis
ciples were first called Christians.
The name was a consequence of the
teaching.” Green renders the passage
thus: "And it came to pass with them
that they were combined even for a
whole year In the church, and taught
much people, and that the disciples
were first called Christians at An
tioch.” This distinctive title came
through Divine guidance.^ It was ow
ing to the teaching of Saul and
Barnabas that this body called the
church was given its unique standing
and place. Let It be remembered t
it was not given as a terra of re
proach but because of the close re
semblance of the„ body to its head,

IV. Benevolence of the Church at
Antioch (vv. 27-30).
They made’* up money for the poor
saints at Jerusalem and sent It tfy the
hands of Barnabas and Saul, y The
genuineness, of the work at Antioch'
Is proven by their good deeds. It was
further emphasized In that there was
no division between Jew and Gentile
Christians. The Gentiles ministered
to the Jews.
