"Mr. Snndry " he said warningly. but nothing could stop tho last up rush of that Indomitable spirit, tho last flame of Joy and hurrying commun ion for which ho bad lingered with ono hand on tho open gate of eternity. "No" ho went on "this Is my hour. I am full of triumph. I'm singing my Bwnn son;:,. Waller nnd I'm ashamed to say it la all on two notes lovo that's all right and pride.

Tho rasping was more pronounced and Sandry, his face like ashes, raised tho old man higher In hi arms, hold ing him Unfitly against his shoulder He glanced appealingly at Doctor Cen try, who shook his head.

" s itislled. You're a man, my son. A man and a good son. I'm satisfied nay more thrice blessed. Anion. A" The word trailed off suddenly, leav ing the lips open. There was a long breath, broken abruptly. The eyes closed naturally, slowly. Tho white bend slid gently down from Sandry's shoulder. With a cry that rang through the room, Walter Sandry sprang up, lifting the body. "Father!" he cried once terribly. Then be laid ft back upon the bed, turning away with shaking Hrs. He clasped his hands hard behind him, whilo Doctor Gentry came silent ly and laid an arm around his ehoul ders.

CHAPTER XXIII. Proof at Last. Tho summer was upon tbo hills with a vengeance. ".Mighty onusual," said Ma Dally, "this hero heat. Hottest It's been for many a year; "It's a goln' to bo a niichty dry season an' It's acoailn' early." Which prophecy seemed due to be fulfilled. A blue beat haze lay deep In tho valleys, hung amid the hills. Tho deep floor of plno needles In tho big woods v as already dry as powder, and It was only late July. The camp was bumming ahead with the work. They bad exceeded their expectations In getting out lops, sending out more than they had planned. Miss Ordway, still mistress of the little south room, worked feverishly at the row story of the tlmberlands. A bit of her brightness, some of her painstaking rheerineFS, was gone with tho summer's heat. Sha bad thought that long before this Bbo would have won that the engagement sho had so daringly announced would be a fart. She could not understand his holding out against her. Sandry had made many trips to Salem, consulting with the lawyer he had summoned from tho East, who was turning heaven nnd earth In an effort to prove what Sandry knew to be true of Hampden, but It was unavail ing. The oimrr commissioner at Sa lem was "on to his Job" and the weeks B-'W by with not one raveled end to the ball of fraud ar.d deception and criminal Intrigue which lay snog In th" doctored records cf tho state land of fice. Miss Ordway hail dropped her filing for tho timber claim and the young commissioner wai uneasily searching his offices for the two let ters otid a missing account book.

The dainty Ongers were all but trembling with eagorness, for she saw that ono of them was addressed to John H. Munseldorn, at a town In New Jersey. There was none to observe her on the sunny Sllet road behind the low growth of spruce, and when she strolled down tho lltllo meadow again townrd the cook-shack, that par ticular Icltor lay safe Inside the bosom of her dress. Sho went straight to the south room, entered and closed the door. Her hands trembled violently, but there wrs no compunction for what sho was about to do In her heart. She was pretty well armed with knowledgo that would give her a hold on Sandry. In easo she wns forced to uso It, but hero, sho bollovcd, would bo proof pos itive tho actual written word that she might hold before his eyes In some hard event of tho future. With strong excitement sho slit the envelope, drew cat tha sheet and be gan to read. Faster and faster came her hot breath, rodder and redder grow her cheeks, while triumph spar kled In her eyes. Sho moved slightly I "iff tfS riiri 2mmM i p The Young Commissioner Was Un easily Searching His Offices. on her Bllppcrcd fct, a little motion of satisfaction that set her garments whimpering as when the tiger, scout ing Its prey, squirms before the leap. . With eager hasto she sat do-.vu at her typewriter and began to write. When tbo bad finished nn hour later. r,ftor long intervals of study, there lay under her hand a very creditable brief of the famous Whitby case a verba tim copy of President Whitby's last letter, a concise history of Walter San dry's life since college, tha notes In tho red morocco book, plainly speci fied ns bis delirious words, and a copy of this letter to Mur.seldorn. Taken together, they mndo a chain of deduc tions so plain and simple as to bo condemning evidence. At that moment Sandry himself, stepping near tho south window, called her to come out and see the Siletz squaws with tbclr pyramids of bas kets going down to Toledo. At his voice she laid a Jealous hand over the papers, hurriedly pushed them back for rafety, and rose. But Fate, that had been waiting, gave ovorlmpetus to the cautious motion and shoved them a llttlo loo far back, bo tbnt they hung In the small spaco between the type writer stand and tho wall hung ten tatlvely until the wind from tho clos ing door, which, ns If It, too. wcro In conspiracy, did not latch, caught them and pulled them down to the clean, rag-carpeted floor. "Come, S letz," called Sandry as they started for the road to Intercept tho basket-bearers, but Siletz. sitting In the west door with her chin In bur cupped palms, shook her head. The heat was Intense for the coast country, dry and brilliant, and the bills were bluo ns turquoise. She watched Sandry and Miss Ordway for a long time as they picked among the treasures from tho tlde lnnds, and pres ently they fell In with the small, brown women and all disappeared around the bend In tho Siletz road. The aching fury began to rlso in her at thought of those two. alone, leav Ing the women. Idling back together Perhaps they would climb the hills for a way. and sit together perhaps but here tl.o sadness fell upon her that snl she was unworthy. Hud be not kissed ber, and was she not his woman? Ills eyes were true. and they had spoken tMngs that bade i her be calm. Not yet had she learned ! the lesson of his greatness that kept ; him always so quiet and sane, even in trouble. There came a step beside her. a soft step padding on the worn bare floor and Coosnnh came from the east porch, panting with tho heat.

Again i'ato smiled' Impishly and sent at that auspicious moment the first good broeze of tho warm day sucking up the valloy. It caught the papers on the floor under tho typewriter tablo, fluttered them daringly, and with a whistle and whoop bore them tum bling out across tbe swept boards of the eating-room floor, to lodge against the rocker of Ma's little chair. Tbe girl In the doorway turned, reaching out a half unwilling hand to save ber rival's proporty. Not yet had Siletz learned a tenth of Sandry's codo, else she would have folded tbe packet and laid it aside. Instead, with tho freedom of camp life and utter Innocence, she began to read, woiiderlngly ut first, then, as sho saw Sandry's name, with bushed brentb and parted Hps. When sho had Mulshed the first part she paused and stared out across tbo sloping lift of meadow, already sero and brown with tho summer boat. Puzzled, but half comprehending, yet Ailed with a name less fear, i.ho felt her lingers shaking sho turuod tbe pago to Baudry's letter. Dnlly's Climp, Toledo, .TulT U. 1 Jolin H.

Trembling with premonition of dis aster to Sandry, Sllcts sat holding the strange documents. A great anger began to well In her sgalntt the other woman. She opened the buttons of her blue shirt nnd drorped tho folded packet Inside Its blouso. On tho Siletz road Sandry and Miss Ordway wcro strolling back. They stopped a nnrnent at the forked stick, and Poppy Ordway dropped Sandry's letter, rc-scaletl. Into tbe sack before bis very eyes. It v.as a daring thing to do and It set ber blood leaping for Jily In her own coolness. When they reached tbo camp slio went directly to her room. It was a Ions tliuo boforo sho came out again, and Sandry bad pono. When she did sho stood in tho doorway and looked at Siletz. white ami filled with a towering anger, nnd Sllet?., looked back ao white. They were women, pure and simple, nnd they matched In that moment their wit and their strength. Miss Ordway knew by that look that Siletz had thoso papers uoro. that she know their contents hut sho dared not say a word. If the girl should Bhow them to Sandry. should destroy them She was al most on tho point of flinging herself upon tbo slim, dark creature, risen along tho doorpost, nnd fighting for possession of her property. But there wns something sickening In tho steadv glint of those dark eyes. In tho half wild crouch of the slender body, and Ehe only stood and held to the lintel, consumed with a wrath that could have killed. But tho wrath of Siletz wns worse It would have killed, forgetful of tbo Preacher, whoso word bad been her simple law of life, forgetful ot Sundry, who had becoino her pattern In his sanity and Judgment. With an effort tbo woman moistened her lips. "Did did you find a bunch or let ters?" she asked between her gripping teeth.

REMARKABLE CHANGE. In a statistical survey of the first six months of prohibition In Arizona, Jan uary 1 to July 1, 1915, Thomas K. Mar shall shows tho marked Improvements In nil phases of Btato llfo. Crime, In counties where saloons existed during 1914, fell off 37.3 per cent when tho saloons were closed. This Insured a sav ing to taxpayers of $00,773.98 In de creased coBt ot arreuts and prosecu tions. Even more striking aro tho fig ures for tbo cities and towns. . With a total decrease of 2,403, or CU.l per ceat. in tbo number of arrests for tbo first six months of 1015 as compared with the samo months of 1514, tho saving amounts to f I'.lTu.U. This almost off sets tho euLiro an. ount of liquor license rovenuo, $100,998, which was surren dered by tho cities of tho state. Tho record of the city of Phoenix Is perhaps tho most remarkable of any. Over $5,000,000 Increase In taxable wealth, doereaso In tax rate and about $20,000 less in cost of city govemmeut for six months, Is credited to tho capi tal city of Arizona for tho first half of 1914. Tho decrease In arrests tor drunkenness for tho first six mouths of 1915 perhaps surpasses that of any city ot Its slzo In tho United States. The number of arrests for 1914 was 1,210 and for 1915 was 85. Tha per capita cost of nrrcsts for 1911 was $tl.53. With 1,125 tower arrests for the tlx months of 1915 for this cause there wns a decreased cost of $7.34t!.25 to the city. Savings banks accounts In the state Increased nearly $100,000 tbe first six months, and the deposits of all banks Increased nearly $3,000,000 up to Sep tember, 1913. Tho children of tbe state are feeling tho benefit of prohibition. There wore for tho first six months of 1915 2,000 more children In school than for the same period of 1911. The registration at the stute university also shows an lncrcaso of EC per cent over the regis tration for 1914. CAVEL IN ILLINOIS. A wet and dry map of Illinois Is a revealing sort of document, says tbe Chicago Journal. It shows that tbo ealo of liquor Is forbidden In more than SO per cent of the geographical area of the state. As ludlcating "how great haa been tbe retreat of John Barley corn," continues tbo Journal, "you can start at the Wisconsin boundary and drive In cn absolutely straight lino to the Ohio river without once entering wet tcnltcfry. You can start from half a dozen different townships on t'.ie Indiana border mid drive straight to the Mississippi river on dry terri tory, and only at two places In cross ing the stato from cast to west do you need to make more than a small de tour to avoid wctneBS. With tho prohibition state of Iowa on one sido and dried up Illinois towns and countlos on tbe other, the Missis sippi flows for hundreds of miles be twoen banks of solid drought; for only at six points north ot the East St Louis oasis can tho thirsty voyager get anything to drink but water. As nearly as the Journal can toll, the camol Is marching forward all over tho atato." PROHIBITION PROHIBITS. You cannot convince the inanngo- uicut of tbo Polk Hospital for Inebri ates at Knoxvlllt), lo., that prohibition does not prohibit They have tho best posslblo proof tbnt It does. According to tho report of tho county auditor since January 1 tho number of pa. tients sent to the hospital has been dwindling until at present there art Just half as many patients as there were a year ago. Even beforo the state prohibitory law went Into effect. the fact that Des Moines was without saloons touded to cut down the alco holic, patients. Thoro wore 28 patients during the last quarter of 1915 ns compared with 53 In tho samo period ut 1914, and since tho first of this year the number has decreased still more. ECONOMIC EFFECT. On top cf tho tfreat moral results we hayo these economic facts: In the first three weeks of January tbo sav ings deposits In the banks of Seattle increased 15 per cent. There was not a grocery store in Seattle that did not show an increase of business in January greater than ever known in any month before in all tho history of tbe city, except in holiday timo. In all the largo grocery stores tho In crease was immense. Every dry goods store, excopt one, and that I have no figures from, had a wondorful Increase In business. And prohibition has not lowered rents. I know of one big dry goods store that has had its rent increased Blnce prohibition went Into effect TACKLE ITI "What part shall men of large In dustrlal Interests have in the cam pnlgn for state-wide prohibition?" This was tbo question considered by a con forenco of business men In Grand Rap Ids. Mich. "Wo have plenty to do at tending to our own business," reads the call, "but surely this Is a part of our own business. If It Is going to Im provo tbe conditions of the mon In our employ, lncrcaso the dividends of our stocbhulders and cleanse the social life ot our city and state, what more Important job can we tackloT" DISCOURAGING DRINKERS. "Any amount of nlcohol la injurious. Wo do not utterly prohibit the uso Cf such beverages outaldo of working hours, but hopo to be able to do so somo day.

Itioi's appeal to the Ccutiles and the large number of. them who accepted the Cns pul madu most acute the qu cation, "Must Gentile believers become Jew ish protiulytes upon accepting tho Christian faith .nd be governed by Jewish law and customs?" It would be' exceedingly lnterecUng to divide a class and let them debute this tea trovorsy stated as follows: "Resolved, That tho Mosaic law should not bars been Imposed upon Gentile Cbrbt tlans." Tho dato ot this council was A, D. CO or 61, and tho scene la laid first In Ant loch of Syria and than la Jerusalem. 1 I. A Division of Opinion (TV. 16). Luke does not namo thoiw wbo agi tated and precipitated this contro versy, but clearly Indicates how tks Holy Spirit dealt with tho situation. "Is a man justified by fath, or by the works of tbo law?" Is a similar ue tlon with modern application. Tk Holy Spirit, to avoid a rupture In the yet wenk church, directs that Paul, Barnabas, Titus (Gul. 2:1) and "rr tain others" who are nut named, should carry the question to the apos tles end elders In Jerusalem. Titos to' whom they went were "ut ropiita t'on" (Gal. 2:2). tho "plllare" (tab 2:9) and they received the delegation from Anlloch In public (15:4), also beard Paul in private (Gal 2:2). . II. Tht Argument, (vv. 6-18). It will not do to be harsh In condemn ing Paul'a accusers. Tbe Pharisees felt deeply their position. As Cod's chosen people they were markod by circumcision. Jesus, the promised Mesv slab, was a Jew. Social, rcllglouj, and racial differences are hard to rec oncile in ono church today. But littles was asked of tho Gentiles In contrast with all they received. Entrance to, church membership would not be too easy If circumcision wore imposed as a test of their sincerity. Peter brought forward tbo plea, before tbo council that God had given tho Holy Spirit to the une.lrcuincized Christians, "and put no diiTercnco between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith" (vr. 8, 9). God bears tho same witness today to thoso who refuse to be bound by Mosaic traditions ns regards the seventh day and other such details. Paul's argument was that God had wrought signs and wonders among the Gentiles and thus set his seal upon his preaching of salvation as apart from legalistic works (r. 12). Bead In this connection Gal. 2:16, Ti tus 3:20, S:3. 10:4, and Phil. J:9. The apostle James presented the third argument In connection with the ver dict be pronounced. It was that It Is according to Old Testament Scrip ture that God will take a people for his name from among tho uncircirm sized Gentiles as well as from among tho law-keeping Jews (vs. 13-17). With Paul this wns a vital question, nnd we can at leant Imagine his feel ings as .he puts forth a lifc ond-dealh struggle for tho truth. As Peter re minded the people of tho occauloa when "tho Holy Spirit como upou Cor nelius and his household" ho caused them to keep silence. III. A Wise Decision" (tv. 19-29). U was James the Just, brother of our Lord, the writer of tho epistle and the bishop oversoer of the church at Jerusalem, who rendered the decision. In his argument (vs. 13-1 E ho saw lu these Gentile converts reported by Barnabas and Saul a fulfillment of the prophecy of Amos, and to use tbe languago of today he "made a mo tion," viz., that these Gentiles bo not disturbed excopt In such matters as would tend to more fully .separate them from tbe heathen Idolatry they bad Just left, (a) "Pollution of Idols," L e., flesh offered In tho sacrlllces (b) "r.-om fornication," the immorality connected with the pagan worship of Aphrodite and Cybclo which actually consecrated vlco, and (c) "from things strangled," for the heathen did not, as the Jews did, look upon tho blood as life, tho . sent ot tho soul. The church readily agreed to this motion and took such precautions as wore needed that no misrepresentations of their derision be carried back to Antl oeh. This consisted of a spirit led cholco of messengers and In a written statement of their decision (vs. 23, 23). Their letter Is Interesting. (1) They saluted tho Gentiles as brothers, for In Christ we are all kin. It Is sad to contemplate tho unchristian separa tion of present-day profosscd followers ofCbriBt "Certain . . . have trou bled you with words;" such are not dead yet men who wrangle ovor words or elso whispor false words to young converts, and who must bo mot with truth (Col. 4:0 2; Tim, 3:13:15). There was absolute unanimity among thoso at Jerusalem, they were of one "accord" (?. 24). Ther,e lo surely no need of differences and discord on essential points among those wbo sc copt the authority of tho Bible, wbo ask God for wisdom (Jamos-l: 6-7) and accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. If Christians sought more the mind ot the Spirit and looked less on tho wisdom of men they would not be so ofton at variance with each other. Only four po'rits of tbe Mosaic Isw were deemed nooeesary for the Gen tiles and thoso who would today bind upon us tbe full authority of that law do ao contrary to tho Holy Spirit. There li crying noed today In Amer ica as well as In Europa for Christian unity (Eph. 4:3). IV. The Result In Antloch (W.30-31T). Great Joy grooted the conclusion ot I tills question.
