Last night Maurice came to me and told me that it was neces- sary for them all to go to Chicago, where the head offices would be est.h- lished, and that I must go with him. I didn’t have the strength to fight him then—there wasn’t- anybody - nearby who could help me. So I—I told him I'd ‘go. Then I lay awake all night, | trying to think out a plan—and I thought of you.” “I'm glad.” Fairchild touched her small gloved hand then, and she did not draw 1t away. His fingers moved slowly. under hers. There was no re- sistance. At Iast his hand closed with a tender pressure—only to release her again. For there had ‘come a laugh, shy, embarrassed, almost fearful—and the plea: .“Can we go hack where Harry is? Can I see the strike again?” Obediently Fairchild led the way, beyond the big cavern, through the cross-cut and into the new stope, where Harry was picking about with a gnd. striving to find a soft spot In wHITh th sink a drill. He looked over his ‘shoulder as they entered and griniled’ broadly. 'Oh,” he exclaimed, “a new miner!" : “_I"lenh I were,” she answered. “I wish I could help you.” But Harry had turned and was star- | tng upward. His eyes had become wideé, his head had shot forward, his ‘whole being had become one of straiced attention. Orice he cocked his head, then,: with -a sudden exclamation, he leaped “backward. ' “Kopk out!” he exclaimed, “'Urry, ook' out 1” “Bit what Is 1t . “It's coming down! .1 'eard it!” Ex- citedly he pointed above, toward the black vein of lead and silyer. *’Urry for that 'ole in.the wall—'urry, I tell you!” He ran past them toward the fissure; -yelling at Falrchild. “Pick 'er up and.come.on! I tell you I ’eard the wall movlng—-it's coming down, and If it does, lt'll bust in the 'ole tunnei !” i ’ CHAPTER xvin Hardly realizing what he was doing. or why, he was doing it, Fairchild seized Anita in his arms and, raising ‘her to his breast as though she were a child, rushed out through the cross- cut and along the cavern to the fis- sure; there to find Harry awalting .them, . #Put ‘er in first!” sald the Cornish- man anxlously. “The farther the safer. Did you ’ear anything more?” Fairchild obeyed, shaking hls hend .in a negative to Harry’s question, then squeezed Into the fissure, edging along beslde Anita, while Harry followed. “What's doing, Harry?” “Nothing. That's the funny part of | it?" The big Cornishman had crept to the edge of the fissure and had stared for 'a moment toward the cross-cut “If it was com- ing, it ought to 'ave showed up by now. I'm golng back. You stay 'ere.” A long moment and he was back, almost creeping, and whispering, &8 he reached the end of the fissure. “Come ‘ere—both of you! Come, ‘ere)” “What 1s 1t?* “Sh-h-h-h-h-h. Don't talk too loud. ‘We've been blessed with luck already. Come ‘ere.” He led the way, the man and wom- an following him. In the stope the Cornishman crawled carefully to the staging and, standing on tiptoes,| pressed his ear agalnst the vein above| him. ‘Then he withdrew and nodded | sagely. “That's what it {s!” came his an- nouncement at last. “You can ‘ear it!" “But what?” “Get up there and lay your ear| agalnst that vein. See if you 'car any- thing. And be qulet about it. I'm| scared to make a move, for fear, somebody °Il 'ear me.” Fairchild obeyed. From far away, carrled by the telegraphy of the earth ~—and there are few ‘conductors that' are better—was the steady pound, pollnd. pound of shock after shock as | it traveled along the hanging wall. Fairchild turned, wondering, then reached for Anita. . “You listen,” he ordered, as he ft- | ed her to where she could hear. “Do | you get anything?” The girl's eyes shone. “I_know what that s she sald| quickly. “I've heard that same sort| of thing before—when you're on an- othier level and somebody's working | above. Isn't that it, Mr. Harkins?"” Harry nodded. “That's it," came tersely. Then | bending, he reached for a pick and.‘ muffling'the sound as best he could be- | tween his knees, knocked the head | from the handle. Following this, he | .lflted the piece of hickory thoughttul- g afd turned to Fairchild, “Get your- self one,” he ordered. “Miés Richuiond, 1 guess you'll 'ave to stay ’ere. I don't see ow we can do much else with you.” “But can't I go along—wherever you're going?” “There’s going to be a fight,” sald Harry quietly. “And I'm going to knock somebody’s block off!” “But—TI'd rather be there than here, I—I don’t have to get in it. And I'd be scared to death here. I wouldn't it 1 was along with you two, because I know—" and she, said it with almost childish conviction—*“that you can ‘whip ’em.” Harry chuckled. “Come along, then. I've got a 'unch, and I can't sye it now. But it'l come out in the wash. Come along.” They started up the mountain side, skirting the big gullles and edging | about the highest drifts, -taking ad- | vantage of the cover of the pines, and bending against the force of the bliz- | zard, which seemed to. threaten to blow them. back, step for step. No one spoke; instinctively Fairchild and Anita had guessed Harry's conclu- slons. The nearest mine to the Blue Poppy was the Silver Queen, situated several hundred feet above it in alti- tude and less than a furlong away. ‘And the metal of the Silver Queen and the Blue Poppy, now that the strike had been made, had assayed al- most identically the same. It was easy to make conclusions, They reached the mouth of the si- | ver Queen. Harry reconnoltered a (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.)

After becoming settled i the towns surrounding Jenumlem ithe people were, called togemer for the purpose of reestablishing the worship of the Lord God. The leaders in this move- ment were -Jeshua' the priest and Zerubbabel the governor. In-view: of the fact that the clearing away of the debris of the old city and temple and the erection of the new temple would take a long time, ap altar was erected where sacrifice might be offered at [ once unto God. I. The Foundation of the Temple Laid (3:813). This was an auspicious occasion and was celebrated with most tmpressive | ceremonies. It marked an epoch in | | the history of the nation. It brought most vividly to them their bitter ex- periences in the dark past, and yet pointed them forward to the time of blessing when God’s favor would be upon them again. 1. The priests in their apparel (v. 10). In Exodus 39 the priestly gar- ments are described. These garments symbolized their consetration to the Lord’s service. 2. The priests with trumpets (v. 10). These trumpets were of silver and were used in cnlllng the people to- gether, 8. The Levites with cymbals (v. 10). These were to furnish the instrumental music of the sanctuary. This was ac- moment before he gave the signal io"cordlng to the arrangement made by proceed. Within the tunnel they went, to follow - along its regular, rising | course to the stope 'where, on that garish day when Taylor Bill and Blindeye . Bozeman had led the enthu- slastic parade through the streets, the veln had shown. It was dark there— no one was at work. Harry unhooked his carbide from his belt, lit it and looked around. | “It aln’t coming from 'ere!” he an- nounced. “It's—" then his volce dropped to a whisper—“what’s that?" Again a rumbling had come from a distance, as of an ore car traveling over the tram tracks. Harry extin- guishad, his light, and drawing Anita and Falrchild far to the end of the stope, flattened them and himself on the ground. A long wait, while the rumbling came closer, still closer; then, in the distance, a light appeared, shining from a side of the tunnel. A clanging nolse, followed by clatter- ing sounds, as though of steel rails hitting against each other. Fiaally the tramming once more—and the light approached. Into view came an ore car, and he- hind it loomed the great form of Tay- lor Bill as he pushed it along. Straight to the pile of ore he came, unhooked the. front of the tram, tripped it and piled the contents of the car on top of the dump which already rested there. With that, carbide pointing the way, he turned back, pushing the tram before him. Harry crept to his feet. “We've got to follow!” he whispered. “It's a blind entrance to the tunnel som'eres.” ‘They rose and trailed the light along the tracks, flattening themselves against the timbers of the tunnel as the form of Taylor Bill, faintly out- lined in the distance, turned from the regular track, opened a great door in the side of the tunnel, which, to all appearances, was nothing more than the ordinary heavy timbering of a weak spot in the rocks, pulled it far back, then swerved the tram within, Then, he-stopped and raised a port- able switch, throwing it.into the open- ing. A second later the door closed behind him, and the sound of the tram began to fade in the distance. Harry | went forward, creeping along the side of the tunnel, feeling his way, stop- ping to listen now and then for the sound of the fading ore car. Behind him were Fairchild and Anita, follow- ing the same procedure. And all three stopped at once, The hollow sound was coming di- rectly to them now. Harry once more brought out his carbide to light it for a moment and to examine the tim- bering. “It's a good Job!” he commented. “You couldn't tell it five feet off " “They've made a cross-cut!” This time it was Anita’s voice, plalaly an- gry in spite of its whispering tones. “No wonder they had such a wonder- ful strike,” came scathingly. “That other stope down there—" “Ain’t nothing but a salted propo- sition,” sald Harry. “They've cement- ed up the top of it with the real stuff and every once In a while they blow a | lot of it out and cement it up again to make it look like that's the real veln." “And they're. working our mine!" Red spots of anger were flashing be- fore Fairchild's eyes. Continued in ‘next issue David (I.Chron. 15:16-21). ‘ 4. They sang together by course (v. 11). This means. that they sang to- one another responsively. The one company sang, “The Lord is Good”; the other responded, “For His mercy endureth forever.” y 5. Mingled weeping and' shouting (vv. 12-13). 'Some of the older men who had seen the magnificent and glorious temple of Solomon,iwhich had been destroyed, wept much 'when they saw how far short the present founda- tion came of the former temple. QOth- ers were glad of the favor of God which had brought them back and that a beginning had been made in the gew house of warship. 11" The Bullding of the Temple Hin. dered (Ch. 4). The.three perils which put back the bullding: of the temple for some four- ods which the enemy’ uses to hinder the constructive bullding programs of God's people in every age. 1. An unintelligent pessimism (3 '12). It was no credit to “priests, Levites and chief of the fathers” to miar this glorlous occasion with weeping. - Un- der the circumstances this was a glorlous beginning and gave promise of great things for the future. God's promises looked to the future when even greater glories should be to the chosen people than ever had been en- Joyed In the days of Solomon. Muny | today, because things are not quite what they should be, do not go for- ward with a constructive program, and even hinder those who have the hape- ful outlook. 2. Worldly compromise (4:2,8). “Let us bulld with you, for we seek your God.” This is Satgn's most common and effective method today. May the courageous Zerubbabels declare anew, “Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God.” 8. Open opposition by the world (4:4- 24). When-refused a part in the work, open and vidlent- opposition was re- sorted to. .Intimidation and political scheming were used to defeat the bulld- ing plan of God’s people. 111, The Temple Fintshed (5:1.6:15). Through the ministry of the proph- ets, Haggal and Zezcharlah, the peo- ple were encouraged to resume the work of buillding the temple. They wrought with energy and enthusiasm, How necessary are Gnd's prophets to encourage and urge on the workers in the Lord’s vineyard! IV. The Temple Dedicated (6:16-22). The people were united in this butld- ing and came together upon its com- pletion and solemnly dedicated it to God. It was a joyous occaslon and they united in the observance of the passover with gratitdde to God: that He had strengthened their hands in their work, The Doer of the Work. But whoso leoketh into the fect law of liberty and continueth thereln, he being not a forgetful ilurer. but' a doer of the work, this man ‘shall be blessed In his deed.~James 1:25 No Disguise Can Conceal Love.
