N.?II. v.ho was alone in the gov ernment ofli'-e. looked up from his viur!;. "Come in." he call ed heartily. "Come in and re port." "Tli:'t:k jou. I'd like to do so. And may I use your dok? 1 liave a letter to write." "Make VMitrself at home. Take any desk you lik'. The men sire nil out on duty." "You're very kind." replied Wayland, frratefuby. There was something re assuring in this greeting and in the many signs of skill anl scientific read ing whl- It the place disp ayed. It was like a Iit of Washington in the midst of a careless, slovenly, lawless moun tain town, and N'orcross took his sent and wrote his letter with a sense of proprietorship. "I'm sotting tip an enthusiasm for the service just from hearing Alee r.elden rave against it." he 8a id a few minutes kater, as he looked up from his letter. Nab grinned. "How did you like Meeker?" "He's a pood man. but 1 e has his pecu liarities. IV-Iden is your real enemy. He is blue with malignity so are most of the cowmen I met up there. I wish I could do something' for the service. I'm a thoroughly up to date analytical chemist and a passable mining eng' neer. and my doctor says that for r. year at least I must work in the open air. Is there anything in this forest service for a weakling 1 ke me?" Nash considered. "I think we can employ you. hut you'll have to go on as fire guard or something like that for the first year. You sii. the work is petting to he more and more technical eai-h year. As a matter of fact" here he lowered his voice a little "McFar lane is one of the old guard and will have to give way. He don't know a thhig alKvat forestry and is too old to learn. His girl knows more about it than he does. She helps him out on office work too." "Wayland wondered :i little at the freedom of expression on the part of Nash, bnt said. "If he runs his office us he runs his ranch ho surely is con demned t go." "Well, you pet l'.errie to take up yonr ease and you're all right. She has the say about who goes on the for-e in this forest." It was late in the afternoon before Wayland started back to Meeker's with ii tent t repack his lelongiugs and leave the ranch for pood. He had de cided n't to call at McFarlane's, a de cision which came not so ninth from fear of Clifford I'.elilen as from a de hire to shield l'.erea from further trou ble, but ns he was passing the pate the pirl rose from beh nd a clump f willows and called to him: "Oh, Mr. Norrross: Wait a ruonent!" He drew rein und. slipping- from his horse, npproaclioj Tier. "What is "It Miss l'.errie?" he asked, with wonder inp ixiliteness. She confronted him with gravity. "It's too late for you to cross the ridge. It'll be dark long before you reach the cut-off. You'd better not try to make II." "I think 1 can find my way." he an Kwered. touched by her consideration "I'm ii'tt so helpless as I was when J came." "Just the same .you mustn't po or.,' she liisiMed. "Father told me to ask you t ume in and stay all night, lie wants to meet you. I was afraid yoi: might l ide by after what happened to day, aiid so I came rp here to head you off." she took lis horse by the rein awd Hashed a sn iiing glance up at him. "Come, now, do as the super visor tells you." "Wait a moment." he pleaded. "Or second thought 1 dou t believe It's a good fhiiig for me to go home witb j-ou. It will only make further trouble br for us both." "I know what you meau. I saw Cliff follow you. He jumped you, Jidn t he?" "He overtook me, y3." "What did he say?" He hesitated. "He was rrettr not mid said things he'll be sorry for when he cools off." -n told you not to come here any iuie ndviwd you to hit the outgoing trail didn't he?" lie flushed with returning shame of it all, but quietly answered, "Yes, be paid something about riding east." "Are you ging to do it?" "Not today, but I guess I'd better A ROMANCE OF THE BEAR TOOTH RANGE By HAMLIN GARLAND Hamlin Garland -op away from here." She looked at him steadily. "Why?" "Because you've been very kind to me, and I wouldn't for the world do anything to hurt or embarrass you." "lon"t you mind about me." she re sponded bluntly. "What happened this morning wasn't your fault nor aunt. Come; fath-?r will be looking for you." With a feeling that he was involving both the pirl and himself in still dark er storms, the young fellow yielded to her command, and together they walk ed along the weed bordered path, while she continued: "This isn't the first time Cliff, has started in to discipline me. but it's obliged to be the last- He's the kind that think they own a pirl just us soon as they pet her to wear an engagement ring. I'.ut CHIT don't ow n me. I told him I wonidu't stand for his coarse ways, and 1 won't!" Wayland tried to bring her track to hiimir. "You're a kind" of 'new wo man.'" She turned a stern look on him. "You hot I am! I was raised a free citizen. No man can make a slave of me. 1 thought he understood that, but it seems he didn't, lie's all right in many ways one of the best riders iu the country but he's pretty tolerable domineering." Mrs. McFarlane greeted No-cross witli cordial word and earnest hand clasp. "I'm glad to see you looking so well," she said, with charming sincer ity. "I'm browner anyway," he answered, and turned to meet McFarlane, a short, black loa riled man with tine dark eyes and shapely hands hands that had never done anything more toilsome than to lift a bridle rein or to clutch the handle of a gun. He was the horseman iu nil his training, and. though he owned hundreds of acres of land, he hud never so much as le-Ul a plow or p!h d a sp::do. II is maimer was that of the cow boss, the lord of great herds, the claimant of empires :.f government grass land, l'oor as his house looked, he was in reality rich. Narrow minded iu respect to his own interests. Lie was well in advance of his neighbors on matters relating t" 'he general veifare, a curious mixture : greed and generosity, as most men ji". and. though he had been made "vpcrvisor at a time when political pud still crippled the sen-ice. he was loyal to the Hag. "I'm mighty glad to see you," he heartily began. "We don't often get a man from the sea level. nd w hen we do we squeeze him dry-." nis voice, low. languid and soit, w most insinuating, and br l. in - hi kept his guest talking of the cast am! its industries and prejudices, am! Bet rle and her mother listened with deep admiration, for the youngster had s en a pood deal of the old world and wa. unusuaily well read n historical lines of inquiry. He talkel well, too, in spired by his attentive audience. IJerrie's eyes, wide and eager, were fixed upon him unwaveringly. He felt her wonder, her admiration, an. I was inspired to do his best. Something in her absorbed atieutb.u led him to speak of things so personal that he wonder ed at himself for uttering them. "I've Ix-eu dilettante all u:y life." was one of his confessions. "I've trav eled: I've studied in a tepid sort of fashion: I went through college with out any idea of doing anything with what 1 got; 1 had a sort of pride in keeping up with my fellows, and I had no idea of preparing for any work in the world. Theu came my breakdown and my doctor ordered me out here. 1 came intending to fish and loaf around, but I can't do that. I've got to do something or go back home." At last Mrs! McFarlane rose and Berea, reluctantly, like a child loath to miss a fairy story, held out her hand to say good night, and the young man saw on her face that look of adoration which marks the birth of sudden love, but his voice was frank and his glance kindly as he said: "Here I've done nil the talking wbeu I wanted you to tell me a!l sorts ol things." "I can't tell you anything." "Oh. yes. you can; and. liesides. I want you to intercede-for-me -with your fnthar and 'get me into the service. But we'll talk about that tomorrow. Good night." After the women left the room Nor rross suld: "I reuliy am in earnest about enter la- the forest service. Landon filled me with enthusiasm about it. Never rrlrMj the pay. I'm not in immediate lieeti or money, but I do need an inter est in life." McFarlane stared at him with kindly perplexity. "1 don't know exactly what you cau do, but I'll work you in somehow. Yon ought to work under a man like Settle, one that could put you through a training iu the rudiments of the game. I'll see what can lie done." "Thank you for that half promise." said Wayland. and he went to his bed happier than at any moment since leaving home. Young N'orcross sorvn )uc:mu vjt:ill engaged with the problems which con fronted McFarlane, and his possible '!irol!uieut as a guard lilied him. with a sense of proprietorship in the forest, which made him quite content with Bear Tooth. He set t work at once to acquire a better knowledge of the extent and boundaries of the reserva tion. It was, indeed, a noMe posses sion. Containing marly sho.om acres of woodland and reaching to the sum mits of the snow lined peaks to the cast, south and west, it appealed to him with silent majesty. It drew upon his patriotism. Kemcinbering h"W the timber of his own state had been slash ed and burned, he began to feel a sense of personal responsibility. He bought a horse of his own. al though Ilerrie insists! upon his retain ing l'ete, and sent for a saddle of the army typo, and from sheer desire to keep entirely clear of the cowboy equipment procured puttee like those worn by cavalry otiiccrs. and v.hcn he presented himself completely uniform ed, he looked not unlike a slender young lieutenant of the caalry on field duty, and in Hcrrie's eyes was won drous alluring. He took quarters at the hotel, but spiiit u larger part of each, day in I'.er rie's company, a fact which was !,i!v reported to Clifford F.el.leti. Hardly a day passed without his taking at least one meal ut the supervisor's home. As he met the rangers one by one he perceived by their outlits. as well as by their speech, that they were sharp ly divided upon old lines and new. The experts, the men of college training, were quite ready to be known as L'n cle Sam's men. They hM a pri.lo in their duties, u respect for their sii--riors, and an understanding of the gov ernmental policy which gave them dig nity and a quiet tuithorUy. They were less policemen than trusted agents of a federal department. .Nevertheless, there was much to admire in the older men. who possessed a self reliance, a knowl edge of nature and a certain rough grace which made them interesting companions and rendered them c:lect: teachers of camping and trailing, and while they were secretly a Utile con temptuous of the "schoolboys," they were all quite ready to ask for expert aid when kuotty problems arose. It was no longer a question of grazing. It was a question of lumbering ami reforestation. Nash, who took an almost brotherly interest in his apprentice, warniugly said: "You want to po well clothed and well shod. You'll have to meet al! kinds of weather. Every man in the service I don't care what his technical job is should be schooled in taking care of himself in the forcM and oi, the trail. I often nice: sureyo:s ,-u:d ciril engineers, experts, who are help less as children iu camp, and when I want them to go into the hills and do field work they are almost useless. The old style ranger has his virtues. Settle is just the kind of instructor you young fellows need." l'.errie also had keen eyes for his outlit and his training, and under her direction he learned to pack a horse, set a tent, build u lire in the rain and other duties. "Y'ou want to remember that yoi carry your bed and board with you.' she said, "and you must be prepared t: camp anywhere and at any time." The Jjirl's skill iu these particulars was marvelous to him and added tc the admiration he already feit for her Her hand was as deft, as sure, as the best of them, and her knowledge of cayuse psychology more profound thai any of the men excepting her father. One day toward the end of his sec ond week in the village the supervisor said: "Well, now, if you're ready tc experiment I'll send you over to Settle, the ranger, on the Horseshoe. lie's a little lame on his pen hand side, and you may be able to help him out. May be I'll r'hle over there with you. 1 want to line out some timber sales on the west .side of Ftarmigan." This commission delighted N'orcross croat ly. "I'm ready, sir, this moment." lie answered, saluting soidier-wise. The next mori:ng as he rode down to the otliee to meet the supervisor he was surprised and delighted to rind lieren there. "I'm riding too." she an liouuced delightedly. "I've never been over that new trail, and father has agreed to let nut go along." Then she added earnestly: "I think it's fine you're going in for t lie service, but it's hard work, and you must be careful tiil you're hardened t it. It's a long way to a doctor from Settle's station." He was annoyed as well as touched by her warning, for it proclaimed that l was still far from looking the brave forester he fell himself to be. lie re plied. "I'm not going to trv anything wihl. but I do intend to master ihe! trailer's craft." "I'll teach yu how to enmp if you'll let me."' she continued. "I've been on lots of surveys with father, and I al ways take my 'share of the work. I threw that hitch alone." She nodded toward the pack horse, whose neat load gave evidence of her skill. "1 toid father this was to be a real camp ing expedition, and as the grouse sea Sen is on we'll live on the country. Can you fish?" "Just about that." hv laughed. "Cood thing you uiuii't ask tue if i could catch tish." lie was ; eeoverh,.. his spirits, "it will be g! eat fan n have you a.s instructor in camp sci once. I seem to be in fcr all kind.- oi good hick." They boih grew uneasy as tinn passed fer fear some! king or some mi would intervene to prevent this trip which grew in intevest each moment, but at hist the s::p-r isor ear.'.e out and mounted his horse, the pak po nies fell in behind. l'.errie followed, und the student of woodcraft brought Un tho tf: r (To Be Continued.)

Hersli e y. Pa.. Sept. 12. Sneak injr before the 1. 15. 5S. A. Conven tion in session nt Hers hey Park. Pastor Russell de livered an able dis course today, from the test. "Lord, to hom shall we tro? Thou hast the words of eternal life." (John ii:W.) PASTOR CbSSllLi He s:iid: The most of us probably remember tho connection of our text. Jesus had been stating u very deep truth: and many of those who had followed llim seemed tillable to comprehend it or re ceive it. We read that they were per plexed, offended, and walked no more with II int. Then Jesus said to The Twelve, "Will ye also iro nwayV" Si nion Peter, speaking for The Twelve, said. "To whom shall wo o7 Thou hast the words of eternal life." It would seem as thouirh Cod has put His Message in such a way that whoever accepts it and becomes u fol lower of the Lord Jesus Christ litis at any time the opportunity of witbdraw ii j ir. In the various churches, sects and systems, there is a kind of bond aire, as there is to some extent in cer tain secret orders a sort of obligation from which one cannot easily ot away after having entered it. But no one is under obligation to remain a 'hristiai: ; stud should one desire to withdraw, the Lord would not hold him ba'k. Apparently there is much misunderstundius of the Lord's meth od. We rind some of God's dear peo ple, contrary to the Scriptures, urins and threatening people, tryiujr to drive thorn to the Lord. But we never heard of Jesus doini; 1his. or His Apostles. To some the Gospel is au attractive Message; to tit hers it has no attraction. Some are drawn just as a piece of steel is drawn by it niapiet. Others have "hated Him without a cause." To some the Lord's Messucre is a savor of life unto life. It has a sweet odor; it tells them about the everlasting life v hio'.i Gotl has provided. To others it is a savor of death unto death. They do not cue for it. This same thought is brought out in "Haldol's interpreta tion of Kin? Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The stone cut out of the mountain wiihout hands represented the true Church. All followers of Christ are fragments of that Stone. It is beiim ni.ule up from all nations and denom inations. Daniel 2:".G-lo. The Stone Cut Out "Without Hands." I'or nearly nineteen centuries Goil has been gathering this Church, which altogether is only a "little flock." ihtike 12:".2. With the close of this Aire these faithful ones shall be made joint-heirs with Jesus, shall be the Kingdom class, shall be 11 is Bride, shall be on the spirit plane, and with Jesus shall be griven Treat power for the blessing of all the families of the earth, hrimriiiir mankind back to per fection und to a world-wide Eden. But this class, this Stone, is taken out of the mountain without bauds. In symbolic language a hand means power. "Without handsv means that God did not exercise force to take the Church out. Yet, the Apostle says. "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works." Kphe-s-ans 2:1U Gml works 'in this class by His promises. s St. Peter says. "Gid hath given mito us exceed ini: i.roat iibd pre-'ious promises, that by these we iuig lit become partakers of the Divine nature." (2 Pi-tor 1:1 Not by pushing, not by thunderintrs or im preoptions, put by these promises does God work in us. He does not pull: He docs not push. He merely draws us. as the magnet draws the piece of steel. The Class New Sought. When Jesus gave that dark saying which o.Tended some of His followers. He knew what effect it would have. He knew that some would not be able to appreciate what He was sayiiur. This was equivalent to inviting them to h-ave. It is the Father's will to sep arate eery individual from tint elect class that can be separated. He wish es to put away any not of the right character, so that all who remain will be of th' right sort. In every Chris tian's life there have been onp.rtui'i tios to take an easier way. If auyaie merely seek ins easy paths, and rejct inir'.rbe p-uhs which the Lord ha iiisvl'Pd out. then He wishes all it'll to take that easier path. In the Dark Ages, when eternal tor ment was invented, people got to think ing tli 1 1 God would do nothing t bin-, der anybody, lest that one fall ii.toj etct'in.l torment. But no one was ever In dinger of eternal tormtnt. The class that fall away merely fail to measure up to their privileges. So the Great Company, the antitypicnl Le vit.s. have had the privilege of being Priests. Thcy ah made consecration. They till belong to the class "i a-sed over" during this Age. They had the I. riviiege ol" becoming members of the Loyal Priesthood, but they have not - 'Micieutly valued the I. -nors ho d our to them, of eli'.il;:ig all of life's ener gies in the srrvioe of the Kiag of kings: and He lets them take their (ur.se. lie seeks those w'.io cN'iight to do His will, not those who m i-t be compelled to do so. During the Millennial Age. a'.! wiil be compelled to do God's will v bo destroyed: but even though for a whiie they must do that wiil under compul sion, yet they will be expected to learn to love that will when they perceive its desirability. At the conclusion of that Age any human being who has not n love of righteousness and a ha tied of iniquity, a sympatly f r the tilings which tire good, will not be counted worthy of eternal life. Su h will hao no life beyond the Millen nia) reign of Christ- At the time of our Lords consecra tion. He came voluntarily to do t!o Father's will, although ttial. will was nmre or less hidden. Jes'.s did uA undei stand it fully at His co:ise-ra tio.n; but His thought was that, what ever it should be. it would be His wiil. So it is with His followers. At the time that you gave yourself up to be a child f God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ our Lord, you agreed to do whatever God's providence might mark out for you. There is a ureal Joal in having lii.it fact in mind: for the changing affairs f life ate bo:md to test us. The Lord gathering a people who not only make a covenant ::t the beginning, but keep that coe nam. If they cannot do il fully ac cording to the llesh. they will ill hvst do it in the spirit of their minds. II there be lieshiy weaknesses whi -li they cannot wholly overcome, the Lord makes provision fr these. He looks ut the heart, the New Creature. The Herd Sayinrj Who C:n Her.r It? The dark clause which the disciples did not understand was, "Except ye eat the fesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, y have no I, to in you." These were mysterious words. They said. "How can this man give us His llesh to eatV This is a hard saving. Who can understand itV" It requires the- Holy Spirit to understand these words. Even The Twelve could not understand su-h deep things of the Spirit until after Pentecost; tlun they began to understand. B'" they know that they v. civ expe' led to hold on even when they did not comprehend. (John 14:2(1.) St) it is with us. God expects us to hold on to certain parts of His Word when we do not under stand. We know about our Savior td the great Divine Plan. It is the most wonderful thing in the world; and if there are a few texts that we do no' understand. It will still he our duty and privilege to remain loyal. We are helped when we see titti there is One who will loach us am! that we are to receive as we sue able. Thank God for the jissurance that He is Keeping close watch-cire over us! We arc glad t hale :: Teacher v ho is so considerate of us. We ale gi.i l ' know that He has this arrangem; ait by which our mind- open more and more to see greater lengths, breadth, heights smd depths of the Love of God. These "dark sayings" are stumbling blocks still to many. Eating the Flesh of the Son of loan. It is just as true today as when Je sus said if, that unless we cat the llesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man we have no life in us. The eating of His ties 1 1 dignities the appropriating of the merit of His llesh. Mentally we appropriate the- merit of His t'.esh. His human nature, which He s-nori!ieed for Adam aud ail of Adam's family. Adam's life was forfeited; his future life was forfeited. All ti e children of Adam thus h-st their rights to the earthly life. Jesus laid down His flesh for the w hole world, "that all the Adam ie race might have the right to this earthly lift-. Jesus' new life is not earthly, not fleshly: He lias a spiritual body now. Therefore He has this fleshly life to gic to the worldlo Adam and Jill his children. Car Lord never forfeited His life; He was lot a sinner. He still has the right to a human life and organism. But low He is ghirified on the Divine plane, and He will give away the merit oT His human life. He has not yet done so. The Bible tolls us that He will give the merit of His human life to Adam and his race at the end of this pres ent Age. When the Church shall be glorihed. Jesus wiil pray The Father on behalf of Ihe world. (John 17:!t; I'sn. 2:Vt God having these two parts in His Plan. Christ has already secured blessings for the Church, and during His Second Presence He will do His work for the recovery of the world. As He said. "My flesh I will give for the life of the world." He wiil give it to the Father; for it was the Father who was the great Judge, and who. dealing with Adam, eondomned hitu to death "Dying, thou shalt die." t'n. i'ss a provision would be mad" that a peffp-'t human being would take the place of the fallen human be'ng. Aihm. there would be no opjvort unity for a future life for either Adaui or hi: r.oe Th:s is what Jfstis has done: He i!; given His life for Adam's life.
