Lee All day, with hardly an interval for food and rest, Lee, McGrath, and I,e- boenf pursued their way along the trail toward the Free Traders’ head quarters. The Indian went on at a tireless lope, McGrath, with aching, blistered feet, negatived all sugges- tlons for a rest; each stop that Ive- ■ boeuf, who had taken command, en forced, was maddening to him. The certainty In Lee’s mind of Joyce's fate gave him a superhuman endurance. Twice before Pathway and he had met; this time he swore that If the girl had suffered at his hands, he Should pay for It with, his life, de- ’ spite his dutu to the police. Night fell, and still they pursued their course through the darkness, un til, passing in single tile along the track throogfc the morass, known to the Indian, they reached the promon tory well before morning. As they approached the neck they saw figures stealing toward them. Thinking that their presence hud been discovered Lee sprang forward with bis challenge. It was the man Kramer who, under the impression that Lee was Hath- way, fired as the words left his lips. JLm fired back) both missed, but a bullet from Leboeufs rifle iiassed through Kramer's breast and with a Strangling cry the man pitched for- forward Into the lake across the broke* parapet * A scattering fusillade from both Sides followed. Then I^-e, Lohoeut, and Father McGrath were across the neck among the gan^, and laying them about With their rifle butts. “That’^for ye, ye thief!” Lee heard the priest shout, as he felled the tall ruffian with a blow. “That's for ye, ye swindlin' hooch peddler, meexiu' your feelthy hooch in ul’ guld liquor. And Is that yoersel, Sweeney That's what I promised ye lang syne when I I caught ye near the meeslon!” Crash, thudded his rifle stock upon 1 head Father McGrath, in fact, seemed to be mixing In a good deal of private vengeance with the cru- *ade. At every thud a man dropped, and as he smote right and left, oust ing his companions from the fray, a •ort of war chant broke from his lips. But the rally was only a momentary one. Having emptied their pistols, Hathway’s men streamed away in flight across the promontory, to be brought np and cornered at the further end. Then, at Lee's demand, arms were flung up, and pistols went clattering down. It waa not until now that the gang Appeared to realize that It wss not Rathway who had turned the tables. The eight of Lse took what spirit re- ‘ from them. Two of the mefi •lightly wmmded, two were half by McGrath’s blows, and all went injured la one way or another; Ry of them bed any more fight Uf tflOQI. ' ^7 '. v r ^ '- ..

Willtn* 1 were to give up their leader, without compensation, the thought had occurred Mmultan* to each of them, that to betray rn* »mnt giving np ail chances or h share in tHe gold. And as long as the hut remained undiscovered that chance always existed. v Impatlefit of their evasion, Lee dashed out of the hut Into which I.e- boeuf, McGrath and he had herded them, searching for Joyce. He ran Into the hut adjacent, then raced across the promontory to the huts near the neck. But Joyce was not In either of these. There remained the central, store house, and, running toward It. Lee dealt a succenstfin of furious blows against the door with his rifle stock. If cracked, splintered and fell off its hinges. McGrath was at his side. The priest struck a match, and by the ftght of the tiny flare It could be seen that the interior of the place was empty. Lee swung his rifle butt furiously, knocking over barrels and boxes in the vain hope that Rathway, at least, was hiding behind them. But he was not there. Shaking off the priest, who sought to detain him, Lee ran back to the hut in which the men were herded. “Where Is she?" he shouted, levelling his rifle af Pierre's face. “In the but across the neck,” Pleirs ( iwllng on tbo floor.

Ratfiway looked gt her and uttered his hyena laugh. Taking the lighted candle from the table, he set It down In a bole beneath the sill. A thin coil of smoke quickly began to spread upward. Within a minute the tinder-dry thip boards of the hut were covered with running flames. Smoke began to All the in terior. Rathway waited till he was sure the hut was well alight, then lib slashed the bond that tied Joyce to the bed, j picked up the struggling girl, and car ried her down, the path ns easily as s Child, in spite of her resistance. , As he neared the neck a spire of flame shot up from the but behind him. He was half way to the water when a figure, silent and tense as a cat, leaped at him from among the reeds. It was Leboeuf, tracking Lee. Rath way, by Instinct alone, sprang side- wise just In time to save himself. Leboeuf fell sprawling in the morass. Estelle and Shorty were waiting be side the motor boat among the reeda. Rathway had reached the side of the boat before Estelle recognized Joyce in his arms. She sprang toward him with a cry. But Rathway coolly placed the girl in the bottom, and quickly fastened the ends of the rope about the seat. The boat, wedged In the sand, only tilted a little as Joyce struggled. “Jim, what does It mean? Ydu (By B«Y.

Young as Antioch, the new religious center was, she had prophet* . and teachers. In Eph. 4:8-12 Paul declares that when Christ ascended He gave gifts to men for the purpose of per fecting the saints unto the 'work of the ministry. This show's that the church does not exist for itself, but Tor service to others. Christ, the heftd of the church, came not to be ministeyed to, but to minister and give Hfe life a ransom for many (Matt. 20:281. II. Barnabas and Saul Sant Forth (w. 2-3). \ These were the fibst foreign mis sionaries sent out. WhRe the five swore—yon- swore -you’d leave her in ; “unLsterR were praying and fasting, the hut,” screamed Estelle frantically. ; the s P irIt of commanded them to Rathway swore at her.

At the same instlint a single pistol shot came from the end of the promontory, followed by a sud den outcry. "Hold that d—n she-wolf for a mo ment, Shorty,” said Rathway, coolly; and, as Shorty threw himself upon Estelle, who laid begun to scream frantically again, he turned aside. This Is the kind of fasting that meets God’s approval. From the fact that they were directed to sehd forth those whom the Spirit called, we learn that the real call to Christ’s service comes from the Spirit. The\Spirit called an.d the church seconded the motion by sending those who were called by | Him. The church should be constant- i ly seeking the mind of the Spirit rela tive tQ the sending forth of laborers Into the vineyard.- The Spirit called and the church sent the very best men from the church at Antioch.

He Is the enemy of God and man. He how sought to bar the gospel as It entered upon Its career of the conversion of the heathen.^ Paul denounced him in the most scathing terms. He called him the child of the devil, denounced him as full of guile and villainy, pro- nouncihg him the enemy of all righteousness, accusing him of per verting the right ways of the Lord. Surely a man Is never more of a vil lain than w hen trying to turn a soul from the gospel. Send Us Your Job Work.

But they rose resilient from the ground like armed enemies, and in the dark Im could see zpitliing.

Only Rathway had seen—not Shorty, gasping as he wrestled with Estelle. “W-what’U I do with her?” Shorty gasped. .v . ' Rathway regarded the pair compla cently. Everything was his; one in stant now and every care would hav® fallen from his shoulders. And there was that d—n woman screaming! Shorty dealt Estelle a blow that sent her staggering back. He swung around to Rathway. “Good bye, Shorty," said Rathway softly, and shot him'through the head. The body tottered and dropped at on his tracks among the reeds, dash- EateHe’a feet. Rathway leaped Into specific work. III. Preaching the Word of God In Cyprus (vv. 4-5). We are not told as to why they first went to Cyprus, but we are left to in fer that It was owing to the fact that it was the home of Barnabas. He waa acquainted with the country and peo ple! and could thus be assured of a respectable hearing among them. Be-v sides it is most natural that those who have heard the good news to go with It first to their kindred and friends. Andrew first went to his brother, and the man out of whom the demons were cast was denied fhe pleasure of his request to follow .Jesus.

Yet nil the while, though he wa* Ignorant of It, chance was di recting him, circuitously, toward tho hut in which Joyce sat. Rathway, the moment that he re covered from the shock of hearing Lee's voice, at the head of the attack, hurried to the cabin. Estelle met him. ‘Tut out that light!” Rathway snarled. “It’s him!" he half whispered. “And I thought bo was dead!” ” “Listen to' me, now!” He begun talking swiftly under bis breath. Es- tefle crept closer to him. She listened as if he hypnotized her. “You mean that, Jim? You swear to leave that girl behind?" # "I swear It, Stella. I’ve got the gold cached near the pjofor hoat>- Every thing'?: ready, and I’ve had a fresh drum of* gasoline put In.” They heard Lee calling again. “Now, Stella !” Rathway whispered. Stella slipped from the hut and hur ried a little distance along the pafh.v Lee, struggling In the swamp, sud denly heard Joyce imploring cloa® at hand out of the darkness, in a vole* of anguish: “Lee! Lee! Come to me! Help me I" “Joyce! Joyce! It’s 1! It’s Lee!” And suddenly he stopped. The in stinct of treachery came to him be fore he realized that this was not Joyce who called . . . Estelle, the mimic, Estelle with Joyce's voles, luring him to destruction. Out of the dark a blow descended on his head, sanding him reeling for ward. He straggled in Ratbway'g arms. Fierdy they fought in the cabin doorway. Then Lee was seised from behind. A kick behind tip kneecap sent him the boat, pushing It from the shore.; commanded him to go home and tell Send U* Your Job Work. As Estelle ran Into the water he felled her with an oar. , Next moment he was at the engine, and the. put-put began. The boat shot : out Into the lake. The rattle of the 1 motor was Mk£ music Tn Rathway** , ears. He held the craft steady with-1 out difficulty against Joyce's Incessant efforts to overthrn it. 'Seeing that she had too much leeway, he stooped and tightened fhe rope that bound her to the seajt. On the margin of the lake Estelle stood wfrh v artn8 raised to the bright ening sky, screening as if she were de mented. Suddefily she turned and dis appeared among the reeds that fringed the shore. Behind the‘promontory the Tint was going up in a vast sheet of flame. Rathway chuckled. All his fears! had disappeared forever. He looked 1 at Joyce, .who was now lying, quiet In J the bottom of the boat. He looked at the gold. The girl and the gold! He anld that over and over. fiWe&dj he was far out upon the breast of the lake, and the promontory was dwind ling behind b!m. He looked at tbe dram of gasoline A the bow, tried to lift it, and assured himself that It was full. He smiled. Nothing could thwart his plana. Hs bent over Joyce. “It’s all ended, dearie,” he said. *'Soon aa you nod t6 show you’ra willing to work with me, I’ll unfasten you." Joyce did not aqd. and he continued; “Yon know I don't want to hurt you, my dear. Just nod to show you won't try to npset tha boat,' and Til set you free.” Joyce took no notice. Bathway took tbe gag out at her mouth. But, though be had been prepared for aa •utbnrat of Invective, such as be would here expected from Estelle, she did not utter a word.
