CIIAPTF.U I. THE .APrEARAXf E OF A STRATEX The little village f n.'ik.'tt's Mill hud lifter ("ii in siieli a slate of exliiemetit in all lis historv. Women, bareboat 1 and with rolled up sleeves, rushed wildly- to and tro aeross the town's single street or leaned from their ieii wii.dows and called excitedly back ajid forth, asking a hundred ipiPKtiotis that no one pretended to answer. The children huddled alKMir their mothers, cliusins to their skirts, their faees white and their eves wide with wondt-r and fear. The mcu, a west ricken. collected ou the street corner in front of the postorfice and talked together in low, hushed tones. The cause of all this excitement was the heavy boomim; of cannon away oft to the south and the barely distinguishable rattle of luiisketry which told only Too plainly that a battle was beins fought and that men were beinir killed and mangled by their fellow men. It was in the sprins of 1;1, at the beginning of the lug and bloody war between the south and the north. The people at r.e kett's Mill and all over that part of Missouri known as I'ossum Ridtre hail heard rumors of a coining war, but they had tone on in their quiet, uneventful way, giving little thought to what they heard and feeling confident that even if war came would not afr'-ct them. And now. right at the beginning, a battle was being fought almost at their very doors. Just a few miles away General Sterling Price and his army of men in gray were laying siege to Lexington and its garrison of men in blue. 1'iiused as they were to war, the peo ple of I'ossum Kidire saw a dreadful mean in or in the rattle of the musketry and the booming' of the heavy cannon. As bad as war is in reality, to the im agluation of those people it was a thou sandfold worse. It tilled them with a feeling of awe and tenor that is inde scribable, and they could scarcely have been more afi'ivted had they known that the end of time was at hand. One old man known as rap Samp son, who h;:d long been looked up to as the village oracle, shook his head gravely and predicted sad and awful things to come. s I have said time no ag'in," he re marked, "the people have grown wick-; 1 an unruly in their stiff necked pride. an the Lord, he's a-gwine to humble 'cm. nil he's a-gwine to humble 'cm down Into the very dust. I've see it a-comhi for years. ;m I've knowed the mind el' the Lord. I knowed he was patient an long sufferm, but I knowed he wa'n't a-gwine to bear with these people forever an that sooner or later lie was a-gwine to humble 'em." "Oil. my Lord, my Lord!" au old woman wailed as she paced slowly back and forth, frantically wringing her hands. "Oh. my Lord, jest a listen to them cannons a-boomin an them guns a-popjen. Oh. Lonly, it's jest awful! They're .i-klllin an a-slaugliterin au a slayin 'cm by the thousands, an afore it's over with they'll all be killed an there wou't be nary a one left. Oh. my Lord, my Lord, it's jest awful!" "Well may you say that. Grau'ma Fell." another woman, a religions enthusiast, remarked, "an well may you trimble for all them thousands that are a-bcin killed, for they are a-dyin in their sins au never stoppiu to ax t heirselves the question. 'Where are we a-gwine?" It's the duty of good Christians to pray for 'cm, an I'm a-gwine to do it." Suiting her actions to her words, the woman kneit in the street and prayed Ions and fervently, but she prayed all alone. Everybody else was too excited to listen to her petitions even, much less take part in them. "It's sholy awful." Jacob Hicks remarked, with an ominous shake of his head. "T'ears jest like the whole world is goin all to smash an that pretty soon there aiu't goin to be no cud to nothin. Seems like I can most hear the groans an the cries of the thousands that are mangled an dyin. My Lord, my Lord! I wonder what the world is ever goin to come to anyhow." "An the wnst ain't begin to come yit," Ebenozer Sparks said solemnly. "Lord, the war ain't fairly got started, an this rightin ain't nothin to what it will be before it's over. Jest wait till you've seed rightin as I've seed it, with thousands an thousands of men a-rlc In au everybody a-gittin killed! thar's war shure enough." "I wonder if that war'll git h gome cue asked in trembling and ! At this question the men arid w all looked iu-piiring'.y and with eyes in one another's face as viting an answer. After a short Ebenezer Sparks said confidently T-and! Of course that war here. How can it beip it when nigh? Yes, sir-ee! You bet it here. Why. them two armies w lop each oih-r all round ov country jest like a passel of do lop one auotner a.l over ev when they git to fifhtin. Cou war U git here, jest as shore tiling." "An we'll a!l be killed." on women exclaimed in terror. "Most shore to be." Ebe puea consolingly. Lfon t s

I'd rather tight than to eat, an if that battle keeps up much longer I don't believe I'm a-gwine to be aide to hold myself out of it. I got to keep a powerful grip on myself to keep out of it now." ! At that moment Jacob Hicks gave a start nnd stood listening intently. Erom jj i i ue iiar'i roau leaning south irom xue ! village there came the soioiil of n linrs) in full gallop. The rest all heard It and stood waiting in breathless silence. An Inquiring glance passed from one to another through the group, but not a word was sjsokeu. Ten minutes passed, and then a lone horseman, wrapped in a cloud of dust, appeared ou a little rise a quarter of a mile away. The women screamed, the children set up a cry and the men grew whiter than ever. Ebenezer Sparks well, it was not until the excitement was over that a';y one knew what he did with himself. 1 The horseman was bareheaded, and n he came madly charging Into the village his hair was flying wildly in the wind, and his face looked almost ghost ly in its pallor. "Ely for your lives!" he shouted when he was near enough to make himself heard. "Ely quick, for they're a-com-in. an you'll all be killed! Ely! Fly!" No onf itiovihI or spoke. They were nil o terror stricken tliat ttirr Una lout the p ivcr to move either limb or tongue. "They're million cf a-comill ; 'em!" ti'.e they're n-comin: a horseman shouted hoa rse! v. "An they're a-killin an a-shiyin au a-slaughterin an a-burniu as they c! Ely. tly. for your lives!" Then as the full meaning of the horseman's words began to dawn ou them a new and uncontrollable fear seized on the people. Some of them turned to run away as fast as their trembling limbs would cany them, some sat down and. hiding their faces, burst into lamentations, while two or three women fainted. The whole population of the village was ou the verge of a wild panic, and in another moment there would have been a general stampede to the country. "Hold!" Piiddeuly cried a voice among them. It was a tirm. confident voice and a voice to be heeded and obeyed. "Hold! There is no danger, and nobody is going to be hurt." The people looked around, and there in their midst they saw a tall, mild looking young man with a pair of keen black eyes and a linn cast of countenance that were calculated to command respect and even olwdience. He was a stranger there, and from whence their Ltr

"If Thou be the King of thj Jews, pave Thyself." The soldiers join with the rulers in deriding Him who, Wiag. according to His own confession, tho Son of God, could not save Himself. Appearances were against Him. He ha 1 said that no one could take His life from Him. yet here they were seemingly doing it. Why did ne not save Himself? Because He could not save Himself and others, too. and He enme to save others.
