Id front of a small grato flro, her

down In tho depths of an easy chair,
at a woman reading. I could boo little

I I murked tho quick chango of ex

acknowledgment that my appearance
waa not entirely unfavorable. Yot
Barely that alono was all I could hope
for. Excopt for that ono chanco en

"It 'surprises mo, however, that

"Then 1 will go on," I Bald moro
slowly, endeavoring better to nrrnngo

"A gray-headed, seamed-faced moun

Sho cmlttod a quick breath, between
closely pressed lips.
"You know tho man?" I asked.
"Yes; old Ned Cowan; ho lived over

Ho and and my fnthor had some trou

"Possibly ho carried thorn with

Sho leaned her bend on her hand,
her eyea thoughtful.
"I think ho otico told mo thoy were
left In chargo of a banker at Charles
tonan old friend. It would bo too
dangerous to carry them about with
him in tho Held. You sco I do not
know very much about his affairs,"
she explained. "I was away at school
when tho war broke out, nnd wo havo
only met briefly since My father did
not tnlk freely of his personal matters
oven to mo. I learned of his foud with
Cowan by accident."
"It was a feud then?"
"On one side at loast My father
was Bhot nt, and noveral of our out
houses burned. Tho troublo arose
over tho tltlo to property. Cowan,"
sho oxplnlncd, "was a squatter on land
which had belonged to our family evor
slnco my grandfather first settled hero.
Wo had tltlo from Virginia, but the
tract granted had never been properly
surveyed, My father had It dono, nnd
discovered that Ned Cowan and two of
his sons occupied a part of our land
with no legal right"
Her oyes uplifted to my face, and
then fell ngnln, otio hnnd opening nnd
closing on the hack of tho chair. She
laughed pleasantly.
"I hardly know why I am telling you
all this family history," Bho continued
almost In apology "It Is as if I talked
to nn old friend who was naturally in
terested In our affairs."
"Perhaps tho mannor of our meeting
accounts for it," I ventured. "But
truly I nm moro deeply Interested than
you Imaglno. It may provo of mutual
advantago for mo to know tho facts.
Did Major Harwood try to forco thorn
from his land?"
"Oh, no," hastily, "my father had no
such thought Ho tried to help them
to purchase tho property at a vory
small price, and on long timo. His
Intention was to aid them, but he
found himself unablo to convinco oither
father or sons of his real purpose Thoy
cither could not, or would not, under
stand. Do you reallzo tho reckless,
lawless naturo of theso mountain
men?"
"Yes, to somo oxtcnt; they trust no
one."
"That was the wholo troublo. Seem
ingly they possessed but ono Idea
that If my father was killed they could
romaln whero thoy were indefinitely.
Tholr single Instinct was to fight it out
with rifles. They refused to cither
purchaso or leave."
Thero was silcnco, as though she
had finished. Sho had seated herself
on tho wide arm of tho chair, still fac
ing me, nnd I could hear tho rain beat
ing hard ngalnBt tho sldo of tho houso.
Suddenly sho looked up Into my face.
"How odd that I should, talk to you
so freely," sho exclalmod. "Why I do
not oven know your name"
"Charles II. Raymond."
I could not bo certain that tho ox
presslon of her eyes changed, for they
suddenly looked away from mo, and
she stood again upon her feet
"Rnymond, you say!" tho slightest
hardening of tono apparent, "on re
cruiting Bervlco from tho Army of the
Potomac?" She drew a quick breath.
"I I think I havo heard the name be
foro. Would you mind If I did ask to
see your orders?"
"Not in tho least," I nnBwercd, not
wholly surprised that sho should havo
heard of tho other, and confident tho
papers I boro would bo properly exe
cuted. "I prefer that you havo no
doubt as to my Identity."
Sho took them, and I noted a slight
trembling of her hands as sho hold tho
paper open in her lingers, hor eyes
glancing swiftly down tho written
llneB.
"I havo becomo quite a soldlor of
late," sho said, nnd handed tho pack
ago back to mo. "And I cannot doubt
your credentials. I am very glad to
meet you, Lleutonant Raymond," and
she held out her hand cordially. "As
I havo admitted already, I am Noreen
Harwood."
"Whom I shall only be delighted to
servo In any mannor possible," I re
plied gallantly, relieved that sho was
so easily convinced.
"Oh, I think the servlco Is more
likely to be mlno. You confessed you
broko in here seoklng aftor food and a
flro. Down below wo may dud both,
and It will bo my ploasuro thus to
servo a Fcdoral officer. You havo a
lamp without?"
"On tho stairs?"
Sho led tho way like a mistress In
her own homo, and 1 followed. There
was a forco of character about tho girl
not to be Ignored. Sho choso to treat
mo aB a guest, uninvited, but nono tho
less welcomo, a position I was not re
luctant to accopt I hold tho lamp as
wo went down tho stairs together, tho
rays of light pressing aside tho cur

"You aro a very young man," she

"Not seriously so," I answered,
rather Inclined to resent the chargo.
"I am twenty-four."
"You look llko a boy I used to know

And you out-Num. 32:23.
Ahab dinobcyed God nnd failed to
follow up his victory over Den-Hadad
(ch. 20:31-34). Thereupon ono of the
prophets resorted to a plan whereby
Ahab was rebuked and also received
a messago that sent him "to his house
heavy and displeased" (v. 43). All ol
this needs to bo borno in mind whon
wo study Ahab's courso of action re
lated in this lesson. Learn by heart
tho tenth commandmont; also Luke
12:lC.
I. Tho Schemes of Men, vv. 11-16
Ahab had been king for twenty yean
(D. C. 9067). Jczreel wob his summct
capital, about twenty miles northwosl
of Samaria. Tho chief actors in title
tragedy woro Naboth, a well-to-do cltl
zon; Ahab, a petulant monarch tc
whom Naboth rofuses to Bell his vine
yard; Jezobfil, tho Lady Macbeth of
Ahab'B court; elders and nobles of
Jczreel, willing tools in tho transac
tion; fnlso witnesses, executioner, and
Elijah, tho servant of God, who con
fronted tho monarch In his nowly
gained possession. Ahab was con
stantly in conflict with tho purposes
of God and with his Word. Naboth
had no right to sell his vineyard (see
Numbers 36:7; Lov. 25:23; also Ezek.
46:16) and sturdily stood out for his
God-given rights. These land laws
woro rigid, but at the same timo wise
and beneficial. Instead of yielding to
God's law Ahab sulks llko a petted
child (v. 4) and thus again runs coun
ter to God's Word (seo tenth com
mandment). At this Juncture Jezebel,
his wife, nppcals to his prido and
power as tho king (v. 7), and offers
to procure tho coveted possession. Tho
mothods of mankind whereby vast pos
sessions aro accumulated do not al
ways bear investigation; murder and
raplno, broken hearts and shortened
lives, weakened bodlcB und stunted
children can largely bo traced td tho
sin or covetousness, against which we
all need to bo on guard (Luko 12:15;
Epb. 5:5). Tho first sinner was covet
ous (Gen. 3:6), so also 'wero tho
chosen people of God (Josh. 7:21), nnd
It was this that caused tho first dis
sension among Christian believers
(Acts 5:1-3). Jezebel' most graciously
gavo Ahab that which belonged to
others; how freo wo all can bo with
tho property of others! Sho also
cloaked hor designs with tho mnntlo
of religion (8-13).
II. The Sentence of God, vv. 17-20,
Tho dead Naboth -waB happier than his
neighbors of Jczreel, the king and
queen or nny of tho other ovil par
ticipants. Ahab began by breaking
tho first commandment (I Kings 16:31;
Deut 5:7) and thus laid tho ground
work of tho wholo train of ovil for
which ho und his household nnd his
reign nro famous. Tho elders rendlly
obeyed tho word of Jezebel and Ahab
profited thereby, -but now ho was to
hear tho Word of God and it was not
to bo so welcomo. Recently we saw
Elijah set asldo, following his flight
from Jezebel, but ho is not entirely
boyond uso and God now gavo him a
new commission, one more task In
connection with his old opponent.
There is nothing indicating cowardice
In Elijah's bold challongo of Ahab and
there is also a suggestion of a guilty
c science in Ahab's exclamation,
Hae ..''ou found me, O mine enemy"
(v 20)? A "wo had "gono down to the
vineyard of faboth" (v. 16) to enjoy
tho pleasure of possessing his Ill-got-ton
treasure only to hear again bis
word of doom (ch. 20:42; 21-19). It
wbb a poor exchange Ahab made
(Mark 8:37), a throne and his life in
exchange for the carrying out of his
own will and tho possession of a vino
yard. In that exact spot whoro Na
both had beenjoully stoned tho dogs
would lick up tho blood of tho king.
As 1b usually tho case, tho guilty sin
ner called tho righteous servant of
God his "enemy," yot had Ahab
obeyed' tho Word of Jehovah aB so
frequently spoken by Elijah ho would
havo discovered him to bo his truo
nnd bOBt friend, not his enemy. Ahab's
sin had found him out (Golden Toxt,
Num. 32:23).
III. The Summary. CovetousncsB is
not tho mere dcslro for things wo do
not possess, but a deep longing which
Is willing to do wrong, to injure oth
ers, to profit by tho evil deeds of oth
ers in ordor to come into possession.
CovetouBnesB seeks to gain at tho ex
pense of hlghor nnd better things; it
1b tho extreme opposite of tho spirit
of him who "gnvo all."
Tho greatest danger of our land and
the chief source of sin is covetousness.
Tho source nnd fountain of covet
ousness is selfishness. Hcnco tho ono
and only euro is in a changed heart,
ono consecrated to God and devoted
to tho servlco of others.
L,ovo uou, ooey nis word, strivo j
with all our ransomed powers to build '
up and ndvnnco hts kingdom and l
