CHAPTER 11.

It was Daylight's night. He was the center and the head of the revel, unquenchably joyous, a contagion of fun. In between dances he paid over to Kearns the twenty thousand in dust and transferred to him his Moosehide claim. Likewise he arranged the taking over of BHly Rawlins’ mail contract, and made his preparations for the start. He dispatched a messenger to rout out Kama, his dog-driver—a Tananaw Indian, far-wandered from his tribal home In the service of the invading whites. Kama entered the Tivoli, tall, lean, muscular, and furclad, the pick of his barbaric race and barbaric still, unshaken and unabashed by the revelers that rioted aboiit him while Daylight gave his orders. " “Um,” said Kama, tabbing his instructions on his fingers. “Get um letters from Rawlins. Load um on sled. Grub for Selkirk —you think um plenty dog-grub stop Selkirk?’* "Plenty dog-grub, Kama.” “Um. Bring sled this place nine um clock. Bring um snowshoes. No bring um tent. Mebbe bring um fly? um little fly?” "No fly,” Daylight answered decisively. We travel light—sawee? We carry plenty letters out, plenty letters back. You are strong man. Plenty cold, plenty travel, all right.” “Sure all right,” Kama muttered, with resignation. “Much cold, no care. Um ready nine um clock.” He turned on his moccasined heel and walked out, imperturbable, sphinxlike, neither giving nor receiving greetings nor looking to right or left. The Virgin led Daylight away Into a corner. "Look here. Daylight,” she said in a low voice, “you’re busted.” “Higher’n a kite.” “I’ve eight thousand in Mac’s safe —” she began. But Daylight Interrupted. The upron-string loomed near and he shied ike an unbroken colt. “It don’t matter,” he said. “Busted I came into the world, busted I go out, tnd I’ve been busted most of the time lince I arrived. Come,on; let’s waltz.” “But, listen,” she urged. “My money’s doing nothing. I could lend It to you—a grub-stake,” she added, aurriedly, at sight of the alarm in his face. '■

“Noboby grub-stakes me," was the answer. “I ’stake myself, and when I make a killing it's sure all mine. No thank you, old girl. Much obliged. I’ll get my stake by running the mail out and in.” Wkh a sudden well-assumed ebullition of spirits he drew her toward the dancing-floor, and as they swung around and around in a waltz the pondered on the iron heart of the man who held her in his arms and resisted all her wiles. At six the next morning, scorching with whisky, yet ever himself, he stood at the bar putting every man’s hand down. The way of it was that’ two men faced each other across a corner, their right elbows resting on the bar, their right hands gripped together, while each stove to press the other’s hand down. Man after man came against him, but no man put his hand down, even Olaf Henderson and French Louis failing despite their hugeness. “The winner pays'.” Daylight cried. “Surge along you-all! This way to the snake-room I ” “I’m busted higher’n a kite, and I’m hittin’ the trail for Dyea—” “Goin’ out?” some one called. A spasm of anger wrought on his face for a flashing instant, but in the next good humor was back again. “I konw you-all are only pokin’ fun asking such a question,” he said with a smile. “Of course I ain’t going out.” “Take the oath again, Daylight,” the same voice cried. .! “I sure will. I first come over Chilcoot in ’B3. I went out over the Pass in a fall blizzard, with a rag of a shirt and a cup of raw flour. I got my grubstake in Juneau that winter, and in the spring I went out over the Pass once more. And once more the famine drew me out. Next spring I went in again, and I swore then that I’d never come out till I made my stake. Well, I ain’t made it, and here I am. And I ain’t going out now. I get the mall and I come right back. I won’t stop the night at Dyea. I’ll hit up Chilcoot soon as I change the dogs and get the mall and grub. And so I swear once more. I’ll never hit for the Outside till I make my pile. And I tell you-all, here and now, it’s got to be an almighty big pile. I’ll be real conservative, and put the bottom notch at a million. And for not an ounce less’n that will I go out of the country. I tell you-all I got a hunch. There’s a big strike coming on the Yukon, and it’s just about due. I don’t mean no ornery Moosehide, Birch creek kind of a strike. I mean a real rip-snorter hair-raiser. Nothing can stop her, and she’ll come up river. There’s where you-all’ll track my moccasins in the near future if you-all WBPt , to fln<L m£_—somewhere ip th«. -

from the grass roots down, a hundred dollars to the pan, and a stampede In from the Outside fifty thousand strong.” “If I was you. Daylight, I wouldn’t mush today,” Joe Hines counseled, ’ coming In from consulting the spirit thermometer outside the door. “We’re jin for a good cold snap. It’s sixty-two below now, and still goln’ down. Better wait till she breaks.” I Daylight laughed, and the old sourdoughs around him laughed. “It’s a thousand miles to Dyea,” Bettles announced, climbing bn the chair and supporting his swaying body by an arm passed around Daylight’s neck. “It's a thousand miles, I’m saying, an’ most of the train unbroke, but I bet any chechaquo—anything he w r ants — that Daylight makes Dyea in thirty days.” “That’s an average of over thirtythree miles a day,” Doc Watson warned, “and I’ve traveled some myself. A blizzard on Chilcoot would tie him up for a week." J “Yep,” Bettles retorted, “an’ Daylight’ll do the second thousand back again on end in thirty days more, and I got five thousand dollars' that says so, and damn the blizzards.” To emphasize -his remarks, he pulled out a gold sack the size of a bologna sausage and thumped it down on the bar. Doc Watson thumped his own sack alongside. I “Hold on!” Daylight cried. “Betties’ right, and I want In on this. “I bet five hundred that sixty days from now I pull up at the Tivoli door with the Dyea mail.” A skeptical roar went up, and a dozen men pulled out their sacks. “Of course he’ll make it,” Kearns whispered in Bettles’ ear. "And there’s five hundred Daylight’s back in sixty days,” he added aloud. Billy Rawlins closed with the wager, and Bettles hugged Kearns ecstatically.

“By Yupiter, I ban take that bet,” Olaf Henderson said, dragging Daylight away from Bettles and Kearns. “Winner pays!” Daylight shouted, closing the wager. “And I’m sure going to win, and sixty days is a long time between drinks, so J pay now. Name your brand, you hochinoos! Name your brand!” Somebody opened the outer door. A vague gray light filtered in. “Burning Daylight, Burning Daylight.” some one called warnlngly. Daylight paused for nothing, heading for the door and pulling down his •ar-flaps. Kama stood outside by the sled, a long, narrow affair, sixteen inches wide and seven and a half feet in length, its slatted bottom raised six inches above the steel-shod runners. On it, lashed with thongs of moose hide, were the light canvas bags that contained the mail, and the food and gear for dogs and men. In front of it, in a single line, lay curled five frost-rimmed dogs. They were huskies, matched in size and color, all unusually large and all gray. From their cruel jaws to their bushy tails they were as like as peas in their likeness to timber wolves. Wolves they were, domesticated. It was true, but wolves in appearance and In air their characteristics. On top the sled load, thrust under the lashings and ready for immediate use, were two pairs of snowshoes. Daylight was saying good-by to those who clustered around him. The Virgin wanted to kiss' him, and, fuddled slightly though he was with the whisky, he saw his way out without compromising with the apronstring. He kissed the Virgin, but he kissed the other three women . with equal partiality. He pulled on his long mittens, roused the dogs to their feet, and took his place at the gee-

I pole. “Mush, you beanties’.” he cried. The animals threw their weights against their breastbands on the instant, crouching low to the snow and digging in their claws. They whined eagerly, and before the sled had gone half a dozen lengths both Daylight and Kama (in the rear) were running to keep up. And so. running, man and dogs dipped over the bank and down to the frozen bed of the Yukon, and in the gray light were gone. On the rivqr, where was a packed trail and where ‘snowshoes were unnecessary, the dogs averaged six miles an hour. To keep up with them, the two men were compelled to run. Daylight and Kama relieved each other regularly at the gee-pole, for here was the hard work of steering the flying sled and of keeping in advance of it. The man relieved dropped behind the sled, occasionally leaping upon it and resting. As If through a wall, Daylight had passed from the hum and roar of the Tivoli into another world —a world of silence and immobility. Nothing stirred. The Yukon slept under a coat of ice three feet thick. The cold snap continued. Only men of iron kept the trail at such low temperatures, and Kama and Daylight were picked men of their races. But Kama knew the other was the better man, and. thus, at the start, he was himself foredoomed to defeat Not that he slackened his effort or willingness by the slightest degree, but that he was beaten by the burden he carried in his mind. His attitude toward Daylight was worshipful. Stoical, taciturn, proud of his physical prowess, he found all these qualities incarnated in his white companion. , ' (To be Continued.)

Difficult Scriptures on Hell.

A little Book selling at only ten Cents, postpaid, is hhving a very wide circulation—running up into the millions. It contains some very startling Information respecting the meaning of the word Hell. It claims to demonstrate, both from the Hebrew and the Greek of our Bible, that Hell is NOT a place of eternal torment, but merely another name for the TOMB, the GRAVE, THE STATE OF DEATH. It affects to show that man was not redeemed from a far-off place of eternal torture, but quotes the Scriptures proving that he was REDEEMED from the GRAVE at the cost of his Redeemer’s LIFE and that the Scriptural HopC, beth for the Church and the World, is a resurrection hope based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book is certainly worth the reading. The Information it furnishes is certainly valuable, far beyond its trifling cost Order it at once from the Bible and Tract Society, 17 Ilicks street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE

SIN-FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Mark ii, 1-12—March 17. "B/e-js (he Lord, O my soul, and forget not all, Bis benefits: who forgiieth alt thine iniquir tics; who healeth all thy diseasea.”—Psalm ciii. t, 3. ' . X I HEN later the Savior return- ■ ■ I ed to Capernaum there was a crush to see and hear Him, and to bring the sick for His healing words and touch. The miracles which our Lord performed were specially with a view of getting the ear of the people for His Message—* the Gospel of the Kingdom—the goodnews of the privilege of becoming sons of God and joint-heirs with Jesus in the Messianic Government which would bless Israel and all nations with light, knowledge, and uplift from sin and death It was while He was thus preaching that sojne earnest ones brought to Him a palsied man for healing. Unable to come into the house or its court because of the throng, they removed some

of the tiling stones of the roof, and lowered the sick man into the presence of the preaching Savior. Such implicit faith, manifested by such heroic effort, could not fail to be appreciated by the Redeemer. But the unexpected happened. Instead of heal-

ing the man of his disease, Jesus exclaimed, “Thy sins are forgiven thee.” Under God’s arrangement with the Jews, under their special Law Covenant, original sin was typically atoned for by the typical sacrifices, and the people were held to account for their transgressions of the. Law. Hence, amongst the Jews, serious sickness implied serious sins. We are not to forget that such special dealings were with the Jews only —that they never applied, to Gentiles nor to Christians. God has no such Covenant with the Church, nor with the world in general today. Hence, the righteous are often sick, and sinners healthy.

Authority to Forgive Sine. There aye certain great, basic principles relating to God’s dealings with humanity which should be recognized. Jehovah's Government is based, not upon mercy, but upon Justice; as we, read, “Justice is the foundation of Thy Throne.” In one sense of the word Divine Justice never forgives and never can do so, as we will explain. We read, “All His work is perfect.” Man was thus created perfect, in the image and likeness of the Creator, and therefore needed no provision for mercy so long as he was in relation with his God. U When temptation came, man fell from Divine favor and life into disfavor and under the death sentence. But Another feature of the Divine character, Love, was brought into exercise for man’s relief. But Divine Love or Mercy could not override or interfere with Divine Justice. In other words, God could not forgive a sinner whom He had sentenced to death. What He could and did do, was to provide in due time for man’s redemption. All of Divine Mercy, therefore, flows through the channel of redemption. The Philosophy of the Forgiveness of Sins. Applying this principle to our Savior and His teachings, we ask, How could He forgive sins when Divine Justice could not forgive, sins, nor set aside the penalty of sin? The answer is, Jestis was the representative of Divine Mercy, and was at that time amongst men for the purpose of giving His life as a sacrifice on man’s account, and therefore to Him belonged the distinctive honor of forgiving sins. However, His surrender of His all did not give Him the authority to forgive sins. It was the heavenly Father’s acceptance of His consecration— His sacrifice, that counted. God’s acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice was mani-

“Justice is the foundation of thy throne."

from the Psalms and is most interesting. The Prophet David may have appropriated the words to himself as a Jew and may have thought of his own physical healing and blessing as evidences of the Lord’s favor under the Law Covenant But the prophetic application of this Psalm to spiritual Israel is still more interesting. The spiritual Israelites are new’ creatures, spirit-begotten, and have this treasure in earthen vessels. With these it is the new creature that recognizes his healing, his for giveness. and, according to God’s promise, all things are working togeth er for good to him, because he loves God and has been called according to the Divine purpose.
