It was two o'clock and that hour In the sleeping world outside when all '.ho elements are at an ebb. Thou, all suddenly, Destiny laughed. And Destiny's laugh was n whooping wind that rose as the elemental ebb tide turned. Hell broke loose upon tho land and heaven was not. Fire encompassed the world. Its Increased roar changed to the thunder of the spheres. It appalled the hearts of men, stayed their hands In fright. Al! throughout the darkness of rolling smoke wheroln they worked between the raging torrent and the East Ilelt that mighty volco commanded cessa tion. Instantaneously, without orders, as cno man where thero was no commu nication save between those a few fjet apart, they dropped their spades, their tattered blankets, their axes. They straightened from their labor, leaving the crohs cuts In tie trunks. Here and there, above tho solemn thunder hoarse voices began to call. It was tho time to quit and they realized It Instinctively. 'Out! Out! Out!" they cried to each other In tho dusk. "(Jet out! Get out!" ' Walter Sandry, working near the apex of tho pushing line, saw men be ginning to run past hl:n back along the trench and tho cutting. He lifted des perate eyes to the ridge whose dim crest he could see between tho boles, so near bad they won to victory. Only a few more big pines, a dozen saplings, a scant few yards of trench and It would be done the long lane of safety stretched across tho neck of the East Uelt! "Stop! Stop! Stop!" he cried with a great volco that carae from the very depths of his lungs with borrowed power. "Stand by me, menl for Cod's sake stand by!" Ho saw dim shapes fr.lter, half turn toward him and start on. Again he raised hia stentorian cry and (lying figures halted a moment, rtopped against their will by its compelling power. "I'm Johnny Eastern, all right, but I'm going to stay! Who'll stay with me?" Out of the dense obscurity carae Col lins, a huge, fantastic figure, and stood beside h!:n without a word. In the ten sion of the time Sandry reached out a hand and gripped the giant's shoul der. "A dozen men and we'vo wonl" be cried. He saw the halting Fhnpes turn gather another ond another, retrace their steps and spring back Into the darkness. livery man of them was western born and tho taunt had gone' home. He leaped himself for the handle of a saw sticking out Irom tho hole of a 150 foot sugar rinn and the whining song of the cross-cuts rose aealn ucder tho dwarfing rear. Fourteen men had heard and an swered that call, and they were alone In the purgatory of heat and smoke. All the resit were running for their lives down the cleared fall toward the valley beyond the dip. From time to time Sandry glanced upward at the increasing light.

The death of IliM Snyder, tho ba boon ol the Central park too, from acute Indigestion, Is chronicled in the day's news I ' 1 1 1 was not one of thu higher order of the monkey family : his kinship to the human race. If he had any. was remote.' Yet surely In the manner of Ins death he displayed a simian resemblance to man. He died as hundred! of lliou.-ands of beings higher In the st ale of evoluiloti die as countlets numbers of our "best citizens" die from overeating He as as reckless In the Indulgence of his appetite for food as the mosl cut tivated member of the human lamily. and if the circumstances ol bis death excite surprise. It Is that his natural Instincts did not preserve nun from the fate or tbe most Intelligent ba nian beings bill s death points a dietetic moral nearer and nearer to the earth for breath, they drew the last blado, sent tli u last big pine crashing toward the north. Tbe ridge was clear In the Increas ing glow. "Now I" cried Sandry with the tri umph of a gonoral on a victorious field, "now for tho ridgo and over!" Hut even as he dropped his saw and ran, calling his men, Collins' big voice came through tbe rolling smoke with the calm of finality. "Ain't no 'over.' It's a ninety-foot drop on to bard rock boyond that ridge." Sundry stopped In his tracks, his head cleared as If with a whiff of salt air by that call. The men had closed In with the In stinct of their kind to be together In danger, as If so the danger were les sened. Hut tha Easterner was undnunted. "Then we'll take to the East Bolt," ho cried, "evon though it Is a crown tire and coming fast, I think our trench will hold It." With all confidence ho turned to the south. Instinctively the men had drawn in behind him. Tho neck of tbe KaBt Celt was a wavering wall of fame. Ho whirled and glanced back along the fall and the trench. Long streamers of flame wore licking across it The half looked for bad happenod. The little bunch of fighters were hemmed In, ringed around by fire. Death faced them on every side. Then, as the owner sent a searching look to every quarter, he sprang lor ward. "Hero!" be cried, "here! Into HI Every man of you. In, I sayl" At tho crest of the sheer ridge an old, abandoned tunnel gaped In tbe gloom, a dim haven of refuge. Its mouth was overhung by vines. Its re cess mysterious In tbe blackness. San dry sprang to Its edge and turned back for tho men to pass. They stood, a small, silent bunch, gazing In wordlesi consternation nt the red canopy. . "Now how In hell did It get across tho fall?" said Collins hoarsely. Tut ono by ono they stooped and entered tho small black bole In the earth. It ran backward Into the rldgo. scarce the height of a tall man. Its floor uneven with tho heaps of earth fallen from the roof sinre some long forgotten prospector had carved It out. Here for a moment they breathed more easily, standing closo together, a sweating, panting, waiting mass of humanity. Sandry stood at the mouth, tho last to enter. Ho looked out In hushed ama.e at the unchained mad ness of tho burning world. Tbe great fire bad reached Its zenith. It came booming nud roaring to tho fall and the trench. Its sound was indcsorlb nblo. The heat grew until the flesh on Sandry's arms and face rope In blis ters. A sheet of flame shot 6heer across the tunnel's mouth. Smoke rolled Into It and here and ther; a gasping breath ended In a moan. There was no air to breathe. Like trapped animals the men jumped here CtJlV 1 t'SA'xy'; Collins' Big Voice Came Through the Rolling Smoko. nnd thero. feeling for an opening, a crevice to crawl Into, away from the agony of beat and suffocation. And then they lost control of themselves. "My God' cried Murphy shrilly. "I can't stand ut! Let me out an' 1 11 die an' get ut over!" He came groping to the entrance, facing the Increasing heat. His face was a madman's, his mouth open, his fingers crooked like talons. Hut at the mouth, that was as the gate of bell, be riot the Easterner, a st.-ulght figure tgalnst tbo light beyond. "No," said Sandry sternly, "go back and lie down." "What?" he shrieked, -what? You damned Johnny! Yo'i tenderfoot! Ml" And he flung himself forward. ' A smooth, black muzzle came forth and pushed its brazen menace into his i face. "I'll shoot the fit man that at- for monkeys that exchange the nuts and roots of the J'ingle for tho richer food of zoo captivity and Idleness The application of the moral to man kind need not be considered. A vastly greater number of men die from over eating than from starvation, and th death of a humblo simian In the cir cumstances from this characteristi cally human ailment, may serve to emphasize the fact.

A British soldier lio wears the rlh bon of South Africa, was asked while on leave at homo recently, whether the soliliets knew for long beforehand hen they are going to be called upou to deliver an assault. "Well, they don't exactly tell u hut we always know," he replied, ad ding ralher nrlmly. "you see. If number of army chaplains suddenly turn up, we can always guess that something good and bard Is KOlna to be asked of us shortly If they serve us with pudding fir dinner before ws go Into tbe trenches, why, then we know lor cern'n!" tempts to pans mo." said Eondry hoarsely. Having nnd curnlng, ho backed nwny More than ono of tho fourteen begged to bo allowed to pass, and one of the lumberjacks from Sacramento muttered deliriously of culling his bluff. But the awful moments dragged by and Sandry stood at the entrance. The Dames passed all measurement of light and heat. He lost sight of tho figures at his feet He felt himself go ing out In the darkness. "S'letz," he muttered, "little Slotx " When he came to himself again, men were crawling across him. lie could breathe better and tbe light bad les sened. He sut up, wincing at the mov ing of his scorched skin over tho muscles underneath, crawled out with the rest and one by one they rose lo their feet. The grent timber of the East Belt farther down stood serried and green. Tho effort had not been In vain. Tbe holocaust was checked, the Belt was safe. Hack toward the north stretched a forest of tall, black spikes, picked out hero and thero by heavy spots of lire where fallen logs, dry and pitch-laden, burned steadily. Tho green canopy was gone, every vino ond bit of brush, every sapling nnd fern. Only a thin edge still crackled nnd snapped with streamers of flame along the trench. "Mr. Sandry," said Harris, the saw flier, "If you're an Easterner I hope to God the breed fills up the country!" Ho exteudod a baud which Sandry grasped. "An' mo." said Murphy, his grimy features distorted In an expression of mingled gratitude nnd contrition, "I take It nil back evory damn word I ever said against you, an' It's a long list." "Forget It," said Sandry. He was no longer Johnny Eastern, He bad won his right to live and fight among them. "Is It over, Collins!" ho asked, steadying his volco. "Over? Look yonder. Feel th' wind. It's changln' again. Th' fire's back crawled toward tho SUetz basin throe miles, I'll bet, wbilo we've ben savin' this end. We've only begun to light." CHAPTER XXVII. The Shot In the Hills. At camp they met a party, headed ty the foreman, just starting out In search of them. Their absence bad been discovered only when Dally, com Ing In from the north, whore his work had been laid -out, had asked for Sun dry. At sight of him tho thrco women standing together nt tho foot-log gave evidence, each In her way, of thoso emotions which tho suspicion of bis tato bud stirred. On Ma's face was an unbounded pride that he bad como through, a man of parts, abundantly ablo to care for himself among a hardier crew. On Miss Ordwny'a thero lay a vast relief, while Siletz played with tho collar of her blue shirt with trembllns fingers and moistened her dry lips. Sandry turned ond looked up at the darkened cast with a profound Joy. Ho swept bi9 eyes north to where the red heaven Cared and staggered to his office. "Three hours, ma," ho croaked In a voice of warning, "only thrco hours sleep for all of us. If you glvo us longer I'll never forgive you." It was true, as Collins said, that they bad only begun to fight. Through tho hours, days, nights that followed the saving of the East Boll they took no note of time. I'p along tho blackened, devastated valley the soldiers moved their camp. Ma Dally shut tbo cooksliack and suborned a wagon to haul her big range up and deposit It olong.ilda tho camp stoves of Company H, where she dispensed coffee to her men and all others with Impartial zeal. Miss Ordway. her skirts tucked up from tho contamination of the burned earth which rose In hot. black puffs nt every moving foot, was compelled to help If the would hold that espionage over Siletz from which she hoped to realize her ambition. A bit ter hatred sharpened her blue eyes upon the girl, nnd sho ached to seize her and tear out of ber blouse that packet of proofs. She was angered at herself that all her cleverness had failed to recover them before this. So the hours rassed with smoke and beat and a sun like a copper shield Men came and went In relays, sleeping upon the ground for short Bhlfts, rig Idly apportioned nnd observed. The flood of llanio, runner after an arrant wind, bad piled its forces In leaping billows In among the northern bills It seemed a thing of Irresistible might, but tbe toihvorn men hung to its Hank with a dogged persistence, emboldened and encouraged by the success on the cast rldgo. Sandry, limping painfully, nnd hag gard as a ghost, stuck wiib the van guard despito Ma's commands and Daily's warnings. At each fresh sight of bis face the girl Siletz was wrung with anguish. It seemed as If he could bear no moro and yet tho spirit In him drove him on. Once she ventured a timid protest. "What is the timber wortn t you die?" sho asked plaintively, and Ban KILLS SHARK WITH CROWBAR Great Battle Waged for an Hour Against a Man Eater Results In Victory. A mandating shark up te his eyes In mud and a stranger In he Bronx, was killed near Throggs Neck after everyone witirin half a mile ol him had screamed at l nst once and missed him with a rock at least twice.

"Who- would caro?" he laughed wryly, "would you, Little Bquaw?" The girl did not answer, but as she turned away the ready mist sprang to bor eyes and he reached a contrite hand to her shoulder. "Forgive me! I know you would!" It seemed to Slleti as the horror swept north and tho men were lost for hours In tbe dim fastnesses, that something was about to happen. She folt a prescience ot disaster which Coosnab shared, and they two stood apart for long spaces of time, silent, listening, tho muscles of each drawn tout. From time to time the great mongrel would squat upon his haunches, lift bis heavy muzzle toward tbe dun smoko heavens and bay with a long-drawn, silver note tbut was the very nrme of melancholy. And then camo a dawn when no one camo In for breakfast, whon the sun, coming over tho rldgo to the cast, was not visible. Only a pale light turned tho heavy canopy to shadowod penrl. The three women waited In that silence which ever attends the waiters 1 mi ' ' S V. 2 V fat 54 She Felt a Prescience of Disaster Which Coocnah Shared, for mon who face dangor. They were used to the sllenco, for there was no accord between them. Ma Dally hud long ago shut this "bird o' th' earth" out of her good heart and Siletz hated her with the fury of tho woman whose mate Is threatened. At last a solitary Indian came down the valley, running, his mouth full ol excitement and dolorous prediction Tho whole of the Siletz would go. It was the wrath of tho Great Spirit turned loose upon a wicked world. It was tbe Judgment. Thero was nothing like It. He fell Into Jargon nnd re verted to the ancient god3,(nnd Silet2 checked him sternly. What do you mean, Qunnna?" she said, "have you forgotten tho Preacher and tho Bible! Thero Is only one Cod and he holds us In the hollow of his hand. It Is not the destruction of the world. It will nop. What more hai happened, aud where Is Sandry of the camp?" Everything had happened. The vholo country was nitre. Not only a rldgo or two, a valley In between, as It bad been here, a day, two days back but ridge after ridge, valley after val ley tho world, the earth, tho heavens Sandry was somewhere up behind th Hog linrk. For a moment tho girl looked rm! across tho slough, lying like a dirty ribbon between Its gray and wilted banks. Then sho turned troubled eyes to tho general. "Mother," the said, "I know It now There's danger to Sundry, and I'm go ing." "Child, you're wrong this time. San dry's a mnn. Woll as you know th hills I can't let you go. I forbid It." They faced cuth olher a moment while Siletz tossed back her braids and tightened her belt. "I'm going," she raid quietly. Ms Dally, who bad raised her, said no more; but as she turned to tho Ptov aimlessly as was ber wont In every time of trial, there was a deeper Hue about her tremulous old mouth.

V. says, "In nothing be anx ious;" or, as we would say today, "don't worry." It means, as Cony betiro nnd Howson put It, "let no care trouble you." A most surprising ex hortation when we think of the sin within us; surprising when wo think of tho many painful experiences we moot, tho hard surroundings, tho bit ter circumstances, tho unexplained dis appointments; surprising when wo think of the constantly Increasing dif ficulties that strew our paths. Yet In splto of all of these he says "don't worry," We need not worry. It la wicked to worry. It Is against tho les sons of nature ' revelation and our pcaco In tho Lord. It Is disobedience, too, becuuso It Is tho Lord hlmsolf who says "Do careful for nothing." It Is a ell known that worry will kill whoro work only tnnkes strong. Hut how are wo to avoid that which Is so common among us! Tbo next sentence tolls us. Simple Method.

The heart as a fortress will bo guarded by tho peace of God nnd tho mind, tho entrance to that fort ress, will bo kept by tho samo peace. It Is the peace of God. not merely peaco with God. The latter Is for the conscience nnd comes by faith In his work; tho former la for tho heart and mind and comes by fulth In his word nnd his presence Wo cannot conceive ot Cod being worried.
