CHAPTER Vl—‘Continued —l3 “Above everything else, I must know What is happening at Jagara,” he said. “The Doom Trail may wait. The news which Ta-wan-ne-ars brought of the intent of the French to replace Joncafre’s trading post with a stone fort is the most menacing tidings we have had since the peace was signed. Lt makes manifest what I have always contended: that there can be no real peace whilst we and the French sit cheek by jowl, each striving for more power than the other. “Peace on paper there may be; but the French will be breaking it, as they have done in the case of Joncaire’s post and as they now plan to do by building a fort upon English territory. I must know what they do there, Master Ormerod. 1 must know beyond a doubt. I must have a man I can trust who will see for himself on the spot.” “Surely, Corlaer—” “Corlaer cannot speak French. Moreover, if he could, his face is known along the whole frontier. He and Joncaire are old opponents. ’Tis you who must go. Masquerade as a Frenchman. There are plenty of lads who go out every year to Canada to have a try at the fur trade. You should be able to pass for one of them. At any rate 'tis worth the attempt.” “ ’Tis well worth trying,” I agreed. “Also, ’tis possible I may pick up some news of the Trail from Joncalre.” “Passible,” he assented; “but keep the Trail in the back of your mind. *Tis this fort which concerns me now. For look you. Master Ormerod, if 1 •ecure proof the French meditate in earnest so grave a breach of the treaty ’twill strengthen by so much my case against Murray. Then might I dare indeed to stir the Iroquois to hostilities against him, as Peter suggested.” "I will do what I may,” I promised. “ ’Tis welL And be not reluctant to accept advice from Corlaer and the Indians. They are schooled in the forest’s craft. Good-by, sir, and be vigllanL” He gave me a hearty clasp of the hand and bowed me out. In the street Corlaer awaited me. “Der tide is flooding," he said, and without another word set off at a good round pace. We came presently to a wharf at the foot of Deye street, where lay the sloop Betsy, her sails unstopped, landlines slack. She cast off as we stepped aboard, and presently I was looking back over her stern at the dwindling skyline of the quaint little city. On the fourth day the river bore us through a country of low, rolling hills and plains that lifted to mountainous heights in the distance. There were farms by the water's edge, and sometimes the imposing mansion of a patroon with its attendant groups of buildings occupied by servants, slaves and tenants. On the fifth day we sighted in the distance the stockades of Fort Orange, which the English were beginning to call Albany, nestling close to the river bank under the shelter of a steep hillock. We made the tottery pier, and hastened np into the town, delegating to the master of the sloop and his boy the task of conveying our baggage to the tavern. We learned that Murray had spent but twenty-four hours in the town and was gone two days since. We spent the forenoon In purchasing for me the regular trappings of the frontiersman—moccasins of ankle height and leather leggings and shirt, all Indian in manufacture. The weapons Juggins had supplied me were warmly praised by my comrades. For the rest there were slim stores of salt, sugar, powder, flints and ball to be packed upon our backs. My garments of civilization I made into a

package which I consigned to the innkeeper's care. We took the road to Schenectady. It was the last white man's road I was to see, and I long remembered its broad surface and the sunlight coming down between the trees on either hand and the farms with their log houses and stockades. But I knew I was on the frontier at last, for the stockades were over high for mere herding of cattle and the house walls were loop-holed. In several of the villages there were square, log-built forts, two stories tall, with the top story projecting out beyond the lower, so (hat the garrison could lire down along the line of the walls. 'Twas sixteen miles to Schenectady, and night had fallen when we hailed the gate for admission. We were afoot again early the next morning. Beyond Schenectady a few farms rimmed the road, but presently we came to a clearing, and on the west side a green barrier stretched across our way. From end to end of the clearing it reached, and as far on either hand as I could see, a high, tangled, apparently Impervious green wall of vegetation. “The road stops here,” I said to Ta-wan-ne-ars. “How shall we go on?” “The road of the white man stops—yes,” he answered. “But the road of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee begins.” “What is that?” He made no answer, but kept on his way until we were under the bole of the first of the forest trees. There at my feet was a deep, narrow slot in the earth, a groove some eighteen inches wide and perhaps twelve inches deep, that disappeared into the gloom which reigned under ; the interlacing houghs overhead. It . did nor go straight, but crookedly like I a snake, curving and twisting as it

chanced to meet a mossy boulder or a tree too big to be readily felled or uprooted. As I stooped over it I saw that its bottom and steeply sloping sides were hard-packed, beaten down by continual pressure, the relentless pressure of countless human feet for generations and centuries. Ta-wan-ne-ars Instantly led the way into the groove of the trail, and as if instinctively swung into an easy’ loping trot. I followed him and the Dutchman brought up the rear. It was cool under the trees, for the sun seldom penetrated the foliage, dense already although it was only the fag-end of spring. And it was very silent—terribly, oppressively silent. The crack of a stick underfoot was like a musket shot. The padding of our feet on the resilient leaf-mold was like the low rolling of muffled drums. The timorous twittering of birds seemed to set tHe echoes flying. Yet I was amazed when Ta-wan-ne-ars halted abruptly in mid-afternoon, and Inclined his ear toward the trail behind us. "What is it?” I asked, and so completely had the spirit of the forest BmTwm* in my -V •?»£»? Sav kb w °- ‘V taken possession of me that I whispered the words. “Something is following us.” he answered. - Corlaer put his ear to the bottom of the trail, and a curious expression crossed his face. “Yu,” was all he said. CHAPTER VII Along the Great Trail “Shall we return and face them?” I asked eagerly. Ta-wan-ne-ars permitted himself a smile of friendly sarcasm. “If we can hear them, surely they can hear us,” he said. “No, we will keep on. There is a place farther along the trail from which we can look back upon them. Come, Ormerod, you and I will run ahead. Peter will follow us.” Ta-wan-ne-ars shifted his musket to his shoulders, and broke into a long, loping stride. I followed him. Half a mile up the trail he stopped. “Walk in my tracks, brother, ” he said. “And be certain that you do no bruise a twig.” With the utmost caution he parted the screen of underbrush on our right hand, and revealed a tunnel through the greenery into which he led the way, hesitating at each step until he had gently thrust aside the Intervening foliage. Once in the tunnel, however,

All Nature Keenly Responsive to Truth

Laws execute themselves. They are out of time, out of space, and not subject to circumstance. Thus, in the soul of man there is a justice whose retributions are Instant and entire. He who does a good deed is instantly ennobled. He who does a mean deed Is by the action itself contracted. He who puts off impurity thereby puts on purity. ... If a man dissemble, deceive, he deceives himself, and goes out of acquaintance with his own being. Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish ; murder will speak out of stone walls. The least admixture of a lie—for example, the taint of vanity, any attempt to make a good impression, a favorable appearance—will instantly vitiate the effect. But speak the truth, and all things alive or brute are vouchers, and the very roots of the grass underground there do seem to stir and move to bear you witness. Moslems’ Holy Stone The black stone of Mecca is a darkcolored stone about nine inches long, apparently a meteorite, built into the southeast corner of the temple of the Caaba at Mecca. The Mohammedans claim that it was given to Abraham by an angel. Pilgrims to Mecca walk around the temple seven times, then kiss the black stone. The Caaba was the temple of Mecca for ages before the time of Mohammed, and attracted pagan pilgrims in those days just as j now it draws thousands of Moslems, j It is a legend that the black stone was i at one time white, but turned black ' owing tc the sins of men. -Exchange.

his care was abandoned, and he ran quickly to the trunk of a huge pine which soared upward like a monumental column, high above the surrounding trees. He leaned his musket against the pitchy bole. “The symbol of the Long House,” he said tapping the swelling girth of it. “Strength and symmetry and grandeur. We will climb, brother.” He swung himself up into the branches, which formed a perfect ladder, firin under foot, behind the screen of the pine needles. When the other treetops were beneath us, he straddled a bough and cleared a loophole from which we might look out over the forest we had traversed. We looked for so long, without anything happening that my eyeballs ached. But at last there was a movement like the miniature upheaval which is caused by an ant in breaking ground. Boughs quivered, and a figure appeared in the open. ’Twas Corlaer. He glanced around him and strode on. In a moment he had passed the clearing and disappeared in the forest. Ta-wan-ne-ars hitched forward and peered through the loophole with tense muscles. And again there was a watt which seemed endless. My eyelids blinked from the strain of watching. The desolation and loneliness of the wilderness were so complete that it seemed inconceivable another human being could be within view. And whilst this thought occupied my mind a dark figure crawled on hands and knees from the mouth of the trail. At that distance all we could see of his costume was the clump of feathers that bristled from his scalplock. He followed Peter into the trail on our side of the clearing, and there was a second and briefer pause. Then as silently as ghosts a string of figures flitted into the clearing. There were six of them, each with musket In the hollow of ills arm, each with bristling feather headdress. Ta-wan-ne-ars emitted a guttural grunt, quite unlike his usual rather musical utterances. “Down !” he rasped. “Down ! The i time Is scant I” At the foot of the pine he snatched up his musket without a word, and turned into the green tunnel that debouched upon the screen of the trail. As we stepped into the worn slot Peter came into view. “Well?” he said phlegmatically. “Cahnuaga dogs I They dare to Invade territory of the Long House!” “We can cross der Mohawk to der south branch of der trail,” proposed Corlaer. “They wouldt not dure to follow us there.” “No,” snarled Ta-wan-ne-ars; “we ; shall not step aside for them. We will ; attend to them ourselves. They will I not attack unless they have to for we are still near the Mohawk castle, al- ; though ’tis upon the opposite bank of the river. They will leave us alone until night.” “But why cannot we attack them?” A look of ferocity which was almost demoniac changed his usually pleasant features into an awful mask. “In an ambuscade one migh^, escape. No, my brother Ormerod, we will wait until they attack us. Then—” He paused significantly. “Not one of the Keepers shall return to tell Murray how his brothers died.” We took up the march. ’Twas already mid afternoon, and shortly the dimness of twilight descended upou the trail, as the level rays of the setting sun were turned aside by the interlacing masses of vegetation. Twilight faded into dusk and still we kejlPon. Ta-wan-ne-ars had eyes like a cat’s, and I, too, accustomed’ myself to perception of hanging branches and the unexpected turns and twists in the groove of the path. The stars were out In the sky overhead when we stepped from the shelter of the forest into a rocky dell divided by u tiny brook. “We will camp here,” said Ta-wan- • nears. He rested his musket on a boulder and began to collect firewood. “Why a fire?” I asked. “The trailers must not think we suspect them,” he replied curtly. “If we lit no fire they would know forcer- I tain that we were suspicious.” I helped him, whilst Corlaer crouched by the opening of the trail on watch. We soon had a respectable pile of wood, but before kindling it the Sen- ' eca bade us strip off our leathern shirts and stuffed them with underbrush into a semblance of human shapes. A third figure to represent himself he contrived out of the packs and several branches. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

For all things proceed out of the same spirit, which is differently named love, justice, temperance, in its different applications, just as the ocean receives different names on the several shores which it washes. —Ralph Waldo Emerson. Northern Ohio Indians The Eries, for whom the lake was named, were at one time the occupants of northeastern Ohio, as well as of the whole southern shore of | Lake Erie from near the site of Buffalo to Sandusky bay. They were kin j of the Iroquois, but bitter enemies, and it seems that about 1650 a merci- j less war broke out between them. The I Iroquois were superior in numbers and organization, with the result that I they practically exterminated the Erie nation, a few remnants of it being received into other tribes. The lands of the Eries were thus left largely in possession of the Iroquois. They । were also occupied to some extent by ! more westerly nations — Ottawas, Chippewas and Pottawattomies.

I GETTING FACTS ON APPLE PEST (Prepared by the United Statee Department of Agriculture.) The codling moth Is a troublesome Insect enemy of apples, prevalent In most of the apple-growing regions. A special appropriation for meeting the situation In Kansas was made available to the bureau of entomology July 1, 1926, but in order to cover an entire season work was begun In cooperation with the Kansas Agricultural college during the spring. Damage was especially severe In Kansas and the Ozarks during the preceding season, and it is hoped that these studies will throw much light on the codling-moth problem throughout this region. Field experiments in control are under way at the Bentonville (Ark.) laboratory, which Include the ; i testing of arsenicals applied in varl- | ous dosages and at various times, and । of .cidal and larvlcidal materials. Questions relating to the quantity of spray residue on fruit at harvest time are being studied at the Yakima (Wash.) field station. Tests of a large series of baits for moths in the orchard and in packing sheds are also । being made. An apple ferment has . been found to be the best bait material of those tried, though a ferment I of molasses and yeast is also good. None of the essential oils tested shows | much promise. At the Sligo (Md.) laboratory the I feeding habits of the codling-moth larvae are being studied, especially those just hatched. The development of Insecticides other than arsenicals Is being attempted. Variety of Apple Trees Changed by Top-Working “Apple tree varieties may easily be changed if the grower wishes to follow directions and use a litle care In his work,” says Prof. G. W. Peck of the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. “The undesirable Ben Davis may be top-worked with some variety of real quality, such ns Mclntosh or Spy. Grafting may also be used to get another variety of fruit on an isolated plum or pear which does not bear be- , cause of lack of pollination. “Any one may graft fruit success ! fully if he will take well-matured oneI year-old terminal growths from known . bearing trees, keep the scions dor- > mant, graft when growth is just start- | Ing, and be sure that the growing or I cambium tissues of the stock and the I scion come in contact so as to insure a union.” Failures of grafts may often be laid I to the neglect of the grower to be sure about this union, ami another important point Is the careful placing of wax over all cut surfaces Irnmedl- | ately after the graft is placed. This is to keep the cut from drying out. For best results, scions should be set ' within a few days at a time when the I first leaves of the tree become from a quarter to half an Inch long. Warm : weather should be selected for the • job. Parasite of Gypsy Moth The Department of Agriculture has recently introduced Into the United ■ States a parasite of the gypsy moth which is particularly promising. This insect is called Compsllura concinnata Melgen. It lives on about 100 host insects. It has now been studied for I eight years by experts of the DepartI ment of Agriculture, and these author- ■ ities feel that the Insect will prove of great benefit. It will not only ’ check the spread of Insects of the : kinds it was intended to control, but it has also shown ability to combat other dangerous Insects in this ; country. Horticultural Notes A good raspberry plantation will be profitable for six to ten years. Ordinarily the quantity of fruit and vegetables used on the farm Is in direct proportion to the quantity raised. In pruning see that dangerous crotches and crowding of limbs are eliminated from young trees to avoid breaking down when the trees come of age. The earlier this shaping is done the less shock to the trees. Cutting the firewood with a carpenter’s saw is Just as sensible as using one to prune the fruit trees. Buy and use a good pruning saw. Efficient tools make it easier to do efficient work. Ninety cents for a pair of hand shears and a dollar and a quarter for a saw Is an investment Justified even in the home orchard. • . • Black walnut trees seem to be ’ poisonous to apple trees. If planted near them. They are also harmful to tomatoes, potatoes and corn. |* * * After all rotten apples, pruned j limbs and other refuse have been cleared up about the orchard, give your trees a thorough spraying. Tn pruning gooseberries and currants, remember that they bear fruit 1 on wood that Is two years old, instead 1 of last year’s growth as with rasp- 1 berries and blackberries. The raspberry plants should not bear fruit the first year after setting. ' ' Everbearing raspberries sometimes bear in the fall of the first year, but most varieties will not bear full crops until the second or even third year. • * • San Jose scale in orchards Is controlled by spraying with lime sulphur during the winter months. This material Is used at the rate of one gallon to eight or nine gallons of water. In applying this dormant spray, It Is . essential that the entire tree be sprayed.

JI NIOR TOPIC—The Great Decision. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIG Making the Great Decision. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlc—Answering Christ’s Call. I. Jesus Preaching In Galilee (vv. 14, 15). 1 lie reason for Christ changing from Judea to Galilee was the growing opposition to Him. He accepted the fate of John, the Baptist, as foreshadowing His own death. The rejection of tlie forerunner meant the rejection of Him whose advent he heralded. 1. What He preached (v. 14). The gospel of the kingdom of God which meant the good news of the near approach of the kingdom of God when the rule of God as predicted by the prophets would be realized. 2. How He preached it (v. 15). (1) “The time Is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand.” This meant that the time had now come for the appearance of the Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom. (2) “Repent.” This meant that the people should turn around, change their minds and altitude toward Christ and accept Him as their King. The message of repentance is one which needs to be sounded out today. (3) “Believe the gospel.” Then, as now, men needed to believe the gospel of Christ. 11. Jesus Called Peter and Andrew to Becomt Fishers Men. Jesus called this pair of brothers for service In His kingdom. It is usually best to perforin the Lord’s service in pairs. This has a threefold value. It makes testimony effective; It provides fellowship on the part of workers and protection of the witnesses. It Is to be noted that these men had previously been called to be disciples of Christ (Jolin 1:36-42). They are now called to service. Observe: 1. From what they were called (v. 16). They were called from positions of definite service. They were fishers. God always chooses His servants from the ranks of the employed. 2. To what they were called (v. 17). To be "fishers of men.” They no doubt had been successful fishers. The qualities which made them good fishermen. namely, patience, bravery to face the storm and darkness of the night, and perseverance, which led them to toil all night though no fish were caught, would make them good fishers of men. 3. Their obedience (v. 18). “Straightway they forsook their nets and followed Him." To obey meant sacrifice, painful sep- : aration. the giving up of all business interests and leaving father behind. Regardless of the cost, they yielded j prompt obedience. They gave up । business and home, not inquiring as to I where their salaries were to come from. 111. Jesus Entering Simon Peter’s House (vv. 29-31) Soon after the call of Peter and Andrew, Jesus called James and John, after which they entered the synagogue at Capernaum, where He cast out an evil spirit. This miracle caused His fame to be spread abroad. 1. A loved one ill (v. 30). When Jesus entered this home He found Peter’s mother-in-law with a burning fever. We know that among the closest followers of Jesus there are suffering ones and anxious and burdened hearts. To all such Jesus comes with loving sympathy and power to help. He has the same power in the quietude of the home as in the public meeting place. 2. “They tell Him of her” (v. 31). This was the proper thing to do. We should bring to the attention of Jesus those of our families who have need of bodily or spiritual healing. 3. He healed her (v. 31). “He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up.” This act showed the nearness, sympathetic tenderness and power of Jesus. At His touch the fever departed and strength was imparted to her body. 4. “She ministered unto them” (v. 31). This act shows: (1) That the cure was instantaneous and complete. When Jesus heals there is no halfway business. Be does the same with the healing of the soul. (2) Gratitude on the part of the one healed. She thus expressed her appreciation of what Jesus had done. All those who have experienced the healing power of Jesus will express their gratitude in loving service to the [ Lord and His disciples. Answered Prayers Some people say there is nothing in | prayer because their prayers are never answered. God always answers ■ prayer, but sometimes He says “No” as j well as “Yes.” The,trouble with most ’ folk is that they are satisfied only with what they want, and not with what God knows they need. Use your common sense about answered prayer. Sometimes God’s “No” is a greater blessing than His “Yes.” —Lookout. ; Cling to Faith If we find our souls under the pressure of the spirit of fear or bondage or uncertainty we may be sure that they have let go the gentle hand of faith. . . . This ought not to be so. We are to know that we have ever to do with love. —Christian Mon Itor.

I-—-,r ■ T r .y THE WORLD’S ? GREAT EVENTS j ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE I by Dodd, Mead i Company.) Napoleon Bonaparte (Part I) A LEAN, shy, undersized youth of [ ** twenty-five hung about Paris in i 1794, looking for employment. He was ; a fairly good writer and had at one * time planned a literary career; but In this field he had failed and had, therefore, returned to military life. He had served with distinction in the army of the new French republic, but the convention could find no further use for his services. He was miserably poor, chafing at Inaction and without prospects. Within ten years he was , destined to be emperor of France and the most powerful and famous man on earth. The lonely, unemployed youth was Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the thlr- I teen children of an Italian lawyer living in Corsica. At the age of ten young Bonaparte had been sent to a military school, where his poverty, shyness and Ignorance of French (a language he never learned to speak without accent) made him unpopular I and laughed at by his schoolmates. I Many of these same schoolmates were > one day to l . the fawning, cringing servants of the lad they now despised, j When he was sixteen Bonaparte was ; commissioned a lieutenant of artillery I and at twenty-one was a captain. The ■ army was divided between allegiance j to King Louis XVI and the new revolutionary party. Bonaparte sided with the latter. When he noted the cowardice with which Louis yielded to the mob, he muttered: “It Is all up with him! A few charges of grape would scatter that pack of curs.” He stored the lesson In his memory and later put it to use. In September, 1793, as lieutenant- < colonel of artillery, it was his strategic | skill that won Toulon from England. For this he was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general—and allowed to wander idly and hungrily about Parts looking for work! He Is even said, at this time, to have planned to offer his services to the sultan of Turkey. But at the ebb of his fortune a sudden turn came. In October, 1795, the people of Paris rose against the convention. Thirty thousand strong they marched on the Tuileries. Barras, president of the convention, appointed Bonaparte to command the 5,000 troops at that body’s disposal. Bonaparte turned his artillery into the ad- ’ vancing mob of guardsmen, townsfolk ■ and riffraff and sent them flying. In ' reward he was placed In command of the Army of the Interior. His career j had begun. He married, March 9, 1796, Josephine Beauharnais, a rather elderly Creole widow from Martinique. She did not love Bonaparte, hut married him because Barras told her the youth had a future. She was notoriously unfaithful to this new’ husband of hers, and repaid his ardent devotion with mere tolerance. Almost directly after the marriage the young bridegroom was sent to take charge of France’s Italian army, which had been dragging on an indecisive warfare against j Austria and Sardinia. He had a ragged, unpaid host of 40.000. The allied Austrians and Sardinians were far stronger; yet inside of five days Bonaparte had whipped them together and separately, and within a month had won all northern Italy for France. He ended the campaign by forcing Austria to cede territory and indemnity. Breaking every old tradition and established rule of warfare, exercising ' wondrous Ingenuity, swiftness and | audacity, the Corsican had completely i dazed and outwitted his slower- ' brained foes. And these same unex- ' pected and genius-bred tactics were to serve him against many another foe. He returned in triumph to Paris, ■ when he was sent, early in 1798. with ' 86.000 men to Invade Egypt. This ex- j pedition. so far as concerned the \ Mamelukes and Turkish armies he encountered. was a brilliant success for i French arms. But Bonaparte’s fleet was destoyed by the English, and the garrison of Acre, made up partly of Englishmen, successfully resisted his I attack. From first to last, England was > Bonaparte’s stumbling block. In his time he thrashed and bullied and browbeat every other nation, as the school bully might the littlest hoy. But whenever he clashed with England he soon or late met discomfiture. While Bonaparte was In Cairo on his return from Syria news came of French defeats in Italy and of a political crisis In Paris. Also —and to him, at that time, perhaps, most important of all—came private advices of Josephine’s open flirtation with other men. The triple tidings sufficed to send Bonaparte hurrying back home, leaving his army to shift for Itself. He reached Paris at the crucial mo- | ment of the governmental crisis, and, : by taking advantage of every turn of fortune as foreseen by his rare diplomacy, he succeeded in winning the position of first consul. Then it was that the man’s true character showed forth. His was a double ambition —first to make France strong at home and terrible abroad, i and, second—and above all —to win for himself the highest obtainable power and glory. He set to work restoring order and prosperity to his unsettled country, conciliating rival factions and framing a new and Inspired code of laws. ■ Then he put Into action his plan to conquer the world. Gases in Medicine The principal toxic gases used by I physicians were classified according ' to action of the gases. Lung irritants or suffocants —chlorine, phosgene and chloropicrin; sternutators (sneeze gas)—dipsenyl-chlor-arsine; lachryinators (tear gas)—chloracetophcnome; desiccants (blistering gas)—dlchlorethylsulphide; directly poisonous to the nervous system—hydrocyanic acid; gas interfering with respiration of blood —carbon monoxide.- London , Lancet.
