There was a possible chance of heading Brent off before lie reached the cave to release -the prisoners, and he made a hasty- flight in that direc tion. 0 But there was no sign of the enemy on the way, and when lie reached the entrance to the cave he heard voices below tli,at convinced him he was too late. Brent and Alster were down there with Blake and McfJee. _ Stationing his men in strategic po sition* Dick approached t,he entrance. “Bmit, we know you’re armed," Jig caHed, “hut neither Blake nor Mcflee has a gun.

There was a groan, and the object disappeared from sight. “Close In, men,” Dick said coolly, .“hut don't expose .uiuiKeUea: Shoot at anything you nee." Intermittent volleys followed, and bullets rallied down tl»e cave, with an occasional shot from below. Rea lizing the men below hud the ails an- (age of light, Dick again cautioned Ida men not to exiatse themselves. But one advantage w*s in their fa vor. They surrounded the mouth of the cave on all sides, and while the enemy was taking a shot at one of their number Die guns of the others (V>ul<l be trained on him. The noise of the shooting soon brought others from the yacht. With their quarry imprisoned in the cave tliere was no need <4 keeping autre than u corporal's guard aboard the: Pelican. Their shots soon begun to tell, for the explosions from below be came less and less frequent. A moan occasionally reached their ears. At least one of Ihe gang had been hit. The problem of getting the men out of the cave was a serious one. Wiiii night coming on the dit1i< ulty of watching and guarding the place would increase. In the course of time they would he starved «iU. but that might require days and days. "It's only a question of time before we get them,’’ Dick said to Captain Burnell when they withdrew to con sider Ihe situation. “There s no fun in starving them out.

"You take orders front me, and not give them.” “Well, If you want a small-sized mutiny on your hands, captain, you try to go down there.” "Suppose 1 order you to go down?"

Lesson for April 11 THE STORY OF CREATION among them was to be found for him To make Adam cunscUm* «f M« con dition C.od caused the animals to pass before him, wfth the result thtfr nd" helpmeet was found for him; man, be ing ji personality, was differentiated from the animal. ! V. The Origin of Woman (2^1-24). To meet the need of man Cod made the ‘Woman. They had minds alike, therefore cou|d commune together about"the things that surrounded them, and about Ood. They bad spiritual n hit urea, therefore could commune to gether and with fled. Cod took a rib from Adam’s side and out of It made the woman. Man was made from the dust of the ground and woman was taken from hie side—thus woman was one removed farther from the earth than man. Someone has aaid that the man was dust refined, hut the woman was dust doubly refined. Matthew Henry says. "Woman was made of the rib out of the side of Adam, not out of bis head to top him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out <jf his side, to be equal with him— under his arm to he protected and near his heart to be loved.” VI. The’Origin of Marriage (2:24). *<Jod made man—male and female. It was His intention that men and women should marry. Marriage is the most sacred of human ties. It Is of divine origin, for God Himself per formed the marriage ceremony. Man's Greatest Victory - Life eternal la doing God’a \ work, knowing Him, and being aubmjaaive to Hia will. What Was true of the Good Friday sacrifice la true, in lesser degree, of all sacrifice. Yet men abrink from It—which la natural— but they shrink from it as always an evil, and this is wholly unnatural If human nature la what it ought to be and is capable of becoming. Tha greatest victory man can win is vic tory over self Give Credit to God Tills act of Initiative and ■‘flaring, this resolute step of entire confidence.

Stop thia agony!”—,., that's all you can think of when you’re suffering with any acute pain. And you can get relief—quickly and > completely—with a very simple name treatment. ‘I was in bed with lumbago,” writer C. L. Normandy of St. Paul, Minne sota. "A friend told me about Sloan’e Liniment, and after using it one day, I was able to walk around the house. After three days I was able to go to work, and now I’m as well as ever.” The reason that Sloan’s Liniment gives such remarkable relief is that it gets right at the cause of the pain. It stimulates the circulation throughout the place where the pain is, and clears put the germs that are causing it. 4 Right away you feel relief. The pain stops, and soon you are fit ae ever.

The Origin of the Universe (Gen. 1 :1). It was created by God. All things ■•ante into being by tlie will and act of a isTsonal God. Create means to bring into existence that which had no pre\ ions existence. II. The Regeneration of the Earth (1 :H-2fi). Between verse* one and two is clearly marked an interval of perhaps wide duration. .Tlie eartli which was created by God was subjected to a Judgment. -The Hebrew word "was” might . Just as well have been trans lated "became." Instead, therefore, of the earth having been created a void or chaos, we see that It became so through a cataclysmic judgment. In Isaiah 4.1:18. the prophet declares that God did -not create the earth a waste, but that He formed it to be inhabited. All that real geology lias to say to us harmonizes with this \lew. Tire so-called six days of Ore- rttimi exhibit God's rehabilitutluu of the eartli. The cause for this judgment upon the earth is to Ire found doubtless in (he judgment upon Satan, who Is called the prince of this world (John « 12:31). Observe that God created tlie ape cies and decreed that they propagate after their kind. Such a tiling as one species developing out of another |s unknown to ihe Bible and real science. III. The Origin of Man (1:26^8) He was created hy God. He came Into being through a special creative act of God. Aa to-nature, he bore the image and likeness of God. This image arrd likeness is not physical or bodily, hut infellecjira! and moral (Kph. 4:24, Col. 8:10). God’s likeness Is reflected It* manVHiree-fold nature.

He was to "dress and keep” the garden (v. 1.1), showing that work waa God's primal thought for man. To thia agrees the teaching of the New Testa-. ment.

To Those Who Judge Quality by Price The quality of Ford cars cannot be judged by the prices at which they are sold-*-because Ford prices are made possible by condi- tionsthat are absolutely unique in the automotive Industry. • - ■ • . From mine to market the Ford car is the work of a single or ganization. The Company owns and operates the mines and forests that furnish the raw materials for its products. This material is carried over Ford transportation routes, fabricated in Ford-milla, manufactured in Ford plants—and the finished product is sold to the public through Ford dealers. The following statement, previously made in an advertising message, is repeated because of its significance to the public: <4 1/ any other manufdcljurer endeavored to produce a car similar to the Ford, according to the high stgstd- ards of quality in material and workmanship used by the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and proved design, it would be impossible to offer it at any thing like Ford prices. And it is well to note that even with less costly design they have not met Ford prices.** Original Ford Features thatToday Make for Greatest Simplicity-Durability- Reliability Torque Tube Drive - Dual Ignition ,- Simple, Dependable Lubrication - Multiple Dlec-ln-oll Clutch Three Point Motor Suepenaion Planetary Tranamteaion • Thermo-Sypboa Cooling FORD MOTOR COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN New Prises COUPE RUNABOUT TOURING TUDOR *500 ’290 ‘310 ’520 .. * . ‘ ^ / AMpHsmf.a k, ffORDOR f WE HAVE NEVER LOWERED THE QUAUTY TO REDUCE TFE PRICE” -L- I
