The Fight In the Cabin.
IIl'IHoii'h cabin had been burned hIx

occasion to pasa this way, nnd tho

was. obliged to feci for tho worn trull,
an It wound hero nnd thero along tho
slope of tho hilt, nnd then finally down
n shallow depression toward tho river
bank. 'Tho homes stopped cautiously,
pressed clonply together In tho narrow
rut, and tho only nolau was tho occn-

came down to tho nhoro. My memory

"Unvo you ever crossed hero?" I
naked doubtfully. "I scarcely remem
bor whoro tho ford lies."
"Yea," sho replied, leaning forward,
"with my fnther a year oko."
"We'll rldo togother, but keep your
feet freo In tho BtlrrupH."
"I am not in tho least frightened.
Don't worry about me," ami alio held
out her hand. "You'll not find mo a
bad soldier."
"1 am certain of that not If you
iro still tho snmo girl I played with."
Her hand was In initio, and was not
withdrawn.
1 "I hardly think I nm," sho an
swered soberly, a little catch In her
voice. "I am not a girl nt all any
more, but 1 keep something of the
Mamo spirit, I hope."
1 have never uudorstood what Bpcll
thoru was about her to keep me silent
I had never before lacked audacity,
yet I daro not speak tho words that
woro on my lips. Tho thought had
taken llrm possession of my mind that

A Big Fellow With Ragged, Un
trimmed Hair and Scraggly Beard.
I hat sho accompanied me merely to
escapo from threatened danger. I
know I loved her; tho touch of her
hand sent a wild thrill through mo,
nnd toy heart throbbed to tho memory
that eho was actually my wlfo. Uut I
daro not permit her to oven guess the
truth, for I felt that sho regretted tho
weakness of that moment and would
resent tho slightest reference to It,
1 released her hand, venturing upon
no reply, and wo rode down the. steep
bank. Tho sullen sweep of tho water,
cut of thu dnrkness above, Into tho
darkness below, nnd tho brooding
Blloncc, lay bold on my nerves. Wo
drew in under the shadows of tho
wooded bank, pushed our way through
to tho top of tho rtso, cnino suddenly
to an open space, where a dozen acres
bad boon cleared, and rodo out boldly
icross tho open Held to tho Hot
Springs pike, clearly vlslblo beneath
the soft glenm of thu stars.
I know not how long wo rodo, or
how far, for my mind had drifted Into
n rovlew of thu night's adventures
nnd a plan for tho morrow. We met
with no one, heard no nolso except the
steady pounding of our borsu'B honfB,
A little later the sky to tho enst ho
gait to lighten In tho promise of dawn
Wo climbed a long hill, our horses
Blowing to the nHcent, nnd by the time
wo nttnlued tho summit tho gray light
revealed our faces. I looked acroB
nt her, nnd her eyes, uplifted sud
denly to mine, smiled.
"You are worn out." I snld.
"I 1 nm tired," sho confessed. "I
I have been two days and nights with
out sleep. If I could only rest for an
hour"
"You shall nil day long. Wo will
find a place in which to hldo down
thero In the vnlloy."
Tho road led winding down between
rocky bnnlis Into a nnrrow valley,
hemmed in by great lit I In. and watered
by a small stream. As wo paused to
let tho thirsty animals drink, the In
creasing daylight gave mo gllmpBo of
a bridle path skirting the edgo of tho
stream along tho wes( bank. The
path turned sharply to tho right, nnd
as o mounted to thu slightly higher
ground we could see thu cabin perched
on a llttlo knoll, agnlntH the black hill
behind.
Surely nothing about tho shanty, or
ItH immediate surroundings, Indicated
present occupancy. Yet when I Onally
advanced It uas with caution, and n
strange sense of expectation. Noreen
followed closely behind, trending nl
most In my footsteps, as noiseless as
a fawn, her sklrtH hold close about her
limbs. At the edge or tho woods sho
stood motionless its I went crouching
forwnrd. Tho cabin wns not deserted.

pearanco. Opposite mo was an open
llmplacc, an iron Kettle sitting In tho
ashes, while n short-barreled rifle
stood upright In a corner. On ono of
tho stools lay a brond-brlmmcd hat,
and a pair of ragged corduroy trousers
hung on a wooden pog beside tho un
barred door. I motioned to her to
Join me. In spite of tho lines of weari
ness In her face tho light of tho dawn
revealed a beauty that caused my
heart to throb. Her eyes silently ques
tioned mo, and I explained quickly
what discovery I hud made.
"Hut tho man may return," sho said
doubtfully.
"01 courso, although I Imagine ho

"Yes," sho confessed, "1 must sleep

"Then come; we'll lind n blto to cat

I opened the door noiselessly, at
though I took no special precaution,
and held it wide, whllo she stopped
across tho threshold, and stood look
ing curiously about. Then I closed It
behind us, and wo wero in a sort of
twilight, nmld which objects appeared
rather Indistinct.
"Ah." 1 said, "the fellow's cupboard
must bo over yonder. I hopo ho keeps
It well Blocked."
1 stepped across in front of her, with
no other thought than that of explor
lug tho larder, when sho gujo vent to
n startled cry, nnd I stopped suddenly,
sweeping my eyes about to learn the
cauflo of alarm. The rngged quilt was
on thu lloor, and a man leaped across
the room and grasped tho rlllo in the
corner. I saw tho swift movement,
renlizcd tho imrpose, yet had scarcely
time to draw a revolver from tho bolt,
before hu had hand on tho weapon.

For thu Instant tho gloom disfigured

a big follow, with ragged, untrhr.med

forward nnd Hung up my arm.
"Drop It!" I snld shortly. "Lift that
gun nnd you'ro (lend!"
At first I thought lilm crazy enough
to take tho chnncu of my tiro; then
tho big lingers reluxed, and the rifle
fell clattering to tho door. To my sur
prise, the fellow laughed.
"Well, I'll bo damned!" ho chortled,
"you hero?"
Ho throw back his bend, and I rec
ognized him Jem Taylor, old Ned
Cowan. I drew n quick breath, m
teeth clenched, my arm steady. This
encounter was going to prove no boy's
piny.
"Put down yer popgun, boy, an' take

recoil, ob though ho vlowed a ghoBt.
She never moved, never spoke.
"Oood Lord I" ho muttered, "la ttint
Harwood's girl? Why, Anao'a out
huntln' after her now"
Ho stopped, cursing fiercely to him
self. Ills eyes shifted their gaze from
tho faco of the girl to mine. They
were nnrrow cat eyes, cruel and cun

"I reckon I ain't seen ol' Hnrwood'e

slowly, "but sho hna sure growed up

It was tils ono chance, and he took it.
1 sensed tho spring, oven as Noreen's
cry of wnrnlng broko the alienee, but
not in time to escape tho grip of the
old man's Iron lingers. His body
crashed against mo with such force
that I staggered and fell; one hand
closed llko a vise on my throat, the
other gripped tho stock or my re
volver, crushing my fingers lifeless. I
struck tho edgo of tho table, strug
gling vainly to keep my feet. It went
over with a crash, bearing us both
along, old Ned atop, clutching fiercely
to keep his hold, his eyes blazing
madly down Into mlno. As wo struck
I wrenched my hand freo and pulled
tho trigger, Tho shot seemed to blnzu
across my own breast, burning like

knee crushed my wrist to the floor,
and the revolver fell from my be
benumbed lingers;

tho overturned table; of oaths, blows,
of eyes glaring revengefully Into mlno.
I seemed to loso nil knowledge, all
consciousness, under tho mercllesB
throttling of those hard ilngora Then
suddenly they relaxed I caught a
quick, reviving breath, another. Every
nerve In mo throbbed; I could see

rolled over on Its side; then I rose up,
supporting myseir on otio arm, and
stured about, sobbing In tho llrst ef
fort to gain control.
"Noreen I" tho nnnio choked Id my
throat
"Yes; It's all right now Cowan is
dead."
CHAPTER XXII.
We Understand Each Other.
Noreen hod drawn awuy from the
body of tho dead man, and stood
against tho farther log wnl), with race
hidden In her hands Cowan lay at
full length, one arm thrown across his
eyes. bent over him, touching his
Mesh with my lingers The ball had
penetrated hla abdomen, nnd how the
follow ever fought so fiercely after
receiving his death wound I can never
understand. I think that In his mad
ferocity hu wns scarcely uware that
he was hurt I turned him partly over
and drew out from tho ItiBldo pocket
of his blouse a handful of papers con
cealed there. One was a buff packet,
which had been roughly torn open
the ono taken from Major Harwood
tho night of his murder.
The packet contained several official
pnpcrB, but the principal paper was u
carerully prepared list of Irregulars
operating throughout the mountain
country, with names of the better
known leaders, the estimated strength
of each separate gnng. tho region In
which they hid, and the side they
espoused, tr any. This had evidently
been enrefully prepared by some atnfi
olllcer. undoubtedly Mnjor Harwood
himself, us tho letter referred to tflm
as having been detailed to such duty
and was full and complete. I found
therein this mention of tho Cowans'

I glanced up at Noreen. and her eye
met mlno Inquiringly.
"Is this your father's handwriting?"
I asked, holding the paper toward him
"Yes; what Is it important?"
"Not very complimentary to Cowan
here. A report to General Halleck, ut
Washington, of conditions In western
Virginia. I wonder how tho old vlh

was being forwarded?"
"It Is not likely he did." she an
swered thoughtfully. "It may have

document In his hands. Sco, hero is a

stooped and picked It up from the
floor, uttering an exclamation of sur
prise. "Why, it it Is addressed to

"Let me see," nnd I took It trom net

JEHOVAH YEARNS OVER I8RAEL.
LESSON TEXT-Hosca 11:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT I druw them with
cords of a man, with bunds of love
tlosoa 11:4.
A contemporary of Isaiah nnd Amos,
Hosea continued to prophesy after
tho first captivity of tho northern
kingdom. His stylo Is abrupt and fig
urative Israel is Johovah'a adulter
ous wiro, repudiated, but finally to bo
purified and restored. This lesson la
a part of tho second section of tho
book (4:1-13:8), which Is a descrip
tion of tho sinful pcoplo.
I. "The Perverse Child," vv. 1-7.
Tho "remnant" (ch. 0:1-3) had cried
out fdr relief. (Sco Isa. 1:0; Horn.
2:5). Jehovah's ropty (begins 6:4) is
a Bovoro Arraignment of Israel's buck
Blldlng ns contrasted with his graco.
To understand tills lesson rend tho
cntiro book repeatedly. In. verso 1 of
tho lesson Jehovah recalls to tho na
tion tho days of its childhood. Do
causo of hla great Jovo (Dout. 7:7)
ho called them ottt of Egypt, the lnnd
of bondage, into Canaan, tho land of
blessing and liberty. Yet Iarnet aonBod
not Its duty nor Its obligation of grati
tude. Wo nro Jiving under a greater
obligation because of tho greater re
demption God haB provided for us in
the person of his Son. God hero culls
Israel "my son" (Ex. 4:22); wo havo
tho right to call ourselves Bona (John
1:12; I. John 3:1-2). Matthew's gos
pel npplicB these words to him who
nlono was fully and in tho truo senso
God's son. Jesus is tho summary of
tho wholo nation in thnt ho alone fully
realized God's purpose in Israol (Matt.
2:15).
Ab contrasted with what a son Is
or should bo verso 2 gives n picture
of Israel's wandering. Tho wholo his
tory of tho nntion is ono of going after
falso gods. (1. Sam: 8:7-9 and many
othor references.) In those childhood
days (v. 3) Jehovah taught them how
to walk, and henlcd their hurts, "but
thoy know not" God, as a tender Fa
ther, had watched over, taught, guid
ed nnd healed (Ex. 10:14; Isa. 46:3;
63:9). Even so, In this present ago
God is a God of mercy and long suf
fering (Rom. 2:4), yet tho mass ot
men "know not" what God is doing
for them. In verso 4 tho child has
grown older and as mothers often
tether a child lest it run away, so Je
hovah endeavors to draw Israel to
him with "cords of lovo." His cord
of lovo now is tho mighty power of
Calvary (John 12:32). Jehovah not
only drow but oven sought to entice,
for he "laid meat unto them" Jesue
will deliver us, for ho boro our yoke
(Matt. 11:28-30) nnd is for us the
Bread of Llfo (John 6:35, 58). Lovo
does not mean that tho backslider
shall bo freo from punishment. "Bo
causo thoy refused to return . . .
tho sword shall abldo" (v. 5-6 and Hob.
12:6). Even so God did not permit
thorn to go back to Egyptian bond
age (v. 5). Israel was " bent to back
sliding." In splto ot tho constnnt call
to worship nnd servo him nono "would
exalt him."
II. The Pleading Parent, vv. 8-12.
Nono can fathom tho depths of tho
cry, "How shall I give theo up, How
shall I deliver thee" (v. 8). Israel
would persist and still Jehovah pleads
that perchanco thoy would hoed hls
cry (Jor. 9:7; Lara. 3:33). Adman
and Zobolm woro trrctrlovably over
thrown with Sodom and Gomorrah
(Dout. 29:33), shall Israel likewise
perish? No! (v. 9) for "I am God, not
man." God does not, like man,
chango his covenants aro not "scraps
of paper," his lovo is everlasting (Nu.
23:19). It Is not God but man who Ib
responsible for his destruction. Tho
"Holy One in tho midst ot theo" la
thero to save, not as an avenger. God
has not comn into our midst in wrath
God'B passionate deslro is to Bavo
not to destroy. Hla purposcB aro
thoso of lovo and redemption and as
with Israol ot old, bo in this ago, ho
will carry out these purposes in splto
ot our backsliding (Rom. 11:28-29).
Verses 10 and 11 aro prophetic of the
ultimata ropontanco and restoration of
Israol Judgmont shall pass upon tholr
foes (Jool 3:16) and thoso of tho dls
poralon (soo parallel Isa. 11:11-16)
shall gather, no "doves to their win
dows," and bo onco moro "in tholr
houses," i. o., sot up ns a nation in
tholr God-given land. Ephralm (v. 12)
sought to ruto without or by casting
off Jehovah (I. Cor. 4:8).
In Judah was tho legal priesthood
and tho legitimate- king, but tho apoH
taBy of Israel vas moro culpablo be
cauro of the example ot Judah which
ho had set at nought.
III. Promised Deliverance. In a
most striking way Hosea flash es a
note of hopo and lovo through tho
cloud of gloom which hung over tho
nation as it drow closer to its doom,
bocauae tho pjoplo refused to repent
Amos delivered his warning and re
turned to Judah.
Hosea was a part ot tho nation
which emphasizes such verses ot hla
prophecy as tho following: 6:1, 4:6,
11:4, 11:6, 6:4, 6:6, 2:15 and 10:12.
which sound tho messago of hopo like
bulletins from tho bottle's front.
Vorso 9 Is tho final nummary for
Israel and tor us as well.

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop It.
A young Calif, wife talks about cot
fco: "It was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and glvo Postum a trial, but my
nerves woro so shattered that I was a
nervous wreck and of courso that
means all kinds of nils.
"I did not want to ncknowlcdgo cof
fee caused tho troublo for I was very
fond ot It. At that time a friend
camo to live with' us, and 1 noticed
that after ho had been with us n week
he would not drink his coffee any
more. I asked lil.ni the reason. He
replied: 'I havo not had a headache
slnco I left oft drinking coffee some
months ago, till last week, when I be
gan .again horo at your table. I don't
bco how anyono can llko coffee, any
way, after drinking Postum!'
"I said nothing, but at once ordered
a packago of Postum. That was flvo
months ago, and wo have drank no
coffee slnco, except on two occasions
when wo had company, and tho result
each timo was that my husband could
not slcop, but lay awake and tossed
and talked halt tho night. We wero
convinced that coffco caused his Buf
fering, bo ho returned to Postum, con
vinced that coffco was an enemy, in
stead of a friend, and ho la troubled
no moro by insomnia.
"I havo gained 8 pounds in weight,
and my nerves havo ccaaed to quiver.
It seems so easy now to quit coffee
that caused our aches and nils and
take up PoBtum." Namo given by
