As t.e wall of the hut burst Into
flames Lee struggled with all his might
to free himself of bis bonds. Hut In
spite of all his efforts he trould not

He writhed until the cords drew
blood from his wrists, and the thought
of Joyce, lost to him at the last
through Estelle's trick, Inspired him
to still more frenzied efforts, but
equally In vain.

the doorway. In his condition of
semi-consciousness he was dimly aware
that Estelle was crouching at his
side, trying to unknot the ropes. It

the Interior of the hut, and Estelle's
fingers groping for the knots, were
not strong enough to loosen 'rti«m.
Still fought 4n a frenzy, mad
dened by Hath way’s desertion of her,
his blow, and Shorty's murder, hardly
knowing why she was bent upon sav
ing Lee when her whole life had gone
down in ruin. Two walls of the hut
were now In flames, and the whole
roof was smouldering. Estelle screamed
wltdly Into the empty air.
Lee tried to push her away. “Go-
lever mind me!" he tried to mumble

through the smoke, he bent down, fott

He pulled the gag from Lee’s mouth

staggered out after him. In a few
moments the fresh air revived them.
^ But hardly were they outside the
hut when the roof collapsed, with a
great crash, sending up a spout of
sparks and brands. A hnge~ banner
of fire waved where the hut had been.
The glowing brands, descending, set
fire to the dead reeds. ' Lines of fire
ran swiftly out Into the swamp.
The sound of whlnneylng and
plunging came from the stables, which
were now discernible against the
brightening sky.

conflagration reached out toward

“No! This way!” cried Estelle,
running toward them.
She guided them along the little
trail, In a few moments Lee and
I.eboeuf had unhnltered the animals,
and led them to safety, the Indian

This Is suggested by the little word

100,000 Miles without stopping for
oil. An inVentor who could develop
■an automobile, a railroad car or any
other conveyance on wheels which
would perform such a feat would be
considered a wonder. But such is the
record of regular accomplishment by
the Auto-Oiled Aermoto r during the
past nine years in pumping water.
Did you ever stop to think how
many revolutions the wheel of a wind
mill makes? If the wheel of an Aer-
motor" should roll along the surface
of the ground at the same speed that
it makes when pumping water it
w’ould encircle the world in PO days
or would go four times around in a
vear. It would travel on an overage
275 miles per oay op about 3(i miles
per hour for 9 hours each day.
An automobile which keeps up
that -pAce day after day r.eeds a
thorough oiling at least once a week.
Isn’t it marvelous, then, that a vlind-
mill has been made which will go 50
times as long ns the best automobile
with one oiling?

footsteps, oppressed by a vague fear.
Outside the huts he stopped, uttered
a cry. >
’* Father McGrath lay In a huddled

knees beside the old priest, sure that
he was dead. He took one wrist.

II, An Attempt to Worahip Paul

1. The Occasion (vv. 8-10).
It was the healing of the lame man.
God’s gracious power shown in heal
ing this lame man occasioned a new
difficulty. That which ought have
been a help was turned into--a
hindrance. This was a notable mir
acle. The man was a confirmed
cripple. He had never walked. On

Perhaps that was the best tribute
that could have been paid Estelle.

by the tact of the apostles.
