TJJK four who bad steamed past the Needless and away under the low back of the Dorsetshire coast sis mouths before, only two were left. Of these two Lee-Carson wn the worst case. Tlio fever mist was drawn like a silk en cobweb low across the swamp, bid ing the black eye-shaped pools and the variegated putrescence of rotting vege-tatioc- The heavy air rang with the shrill pinioning of wild-fowl changing their haunts, und the ceaseless "trout tront" of the bullfrogs in the quagmires round. The two men were making a fire on a dark green ridge somewhat rnised tbore the chilling level of the marsh. "The mist is rising," said Lee-Carson; "oh, for a sixth-story attic!" "I'd better go and shoot something before it gets any higher," said the other man. "What was it you knocked over down there?" nodding back at .the swamp. "Onlyt long-beaked atrocity, species unknown. A brace of duck or a wid geon would suit us better." "Cive me flesh and not fowl the ooze bred, mud-breasted progeny of this for saken swamp. Give me corned beef or German sausage, for I'm sick of fenth srs!" , "Three more days should do it," re marked Grammcl, cheerfully, with a broad optiinistio glance westward, where, however, there was no reassur ing break in the dead sea-like level of the horizon, above which brooded a sul- len sunset. ''Then go and loavo me here with ; food nnd ammunition. You can come j back for me afterwards." j "I'll get supper first," said Grammcl; ; "keep the fire in." I hen his companion was gone, Lee ! Carson lay down beside the smoulder ing blaze, and his eyes wandered slow- ly over the unending vistn of seething mist. Presently he begnn to talk out loud. "Grammcl could reach the highlands if I were out of the way. I'm dying any how, und it seems a pity " 'A day less or more, at sea or shore. Wo die does it matter when?' ".No, it doesn't matter. It's a relief. Grammcl won't leave me, so I'll leave him." He drew a shotgun towards him. "Loaded for swamp-fowl," he said, as lie snapped it and luid it on his knee. "I'll aiot write a note to you.Crummel, because you would worry yourself, be ing a fool, No, I'll come to a nicely ar ranged natural end. It's waste to let. two men die when death only puts in' a claim for one. Grammcl will get through this and lecture before the Ge ographical society about the swamps and the forests and our scientific re searches, and then he'll write a book with the help of a female literary cousin, and marry her afterwards, and then there'll be little Grammels, and I I'll be forgotten." Then he made his arrangements with the gun. It had a 32-lnch bar rel, and Lee-Carson's hand was un steady, for he was very weak. There fore, when the charge sputtered into to the mud and brush behind his sbonlder, he sank down insensible. When Grammcl returned he found the fire blackening, and his comrade with his feet tangled in a tuft of grass, und the gun lying. Across hit chest. Urammel examined hp hastily. "So that was your little game, was it?. As If I shouldn't have known I" he ex claimed. "It's all so like the young ass too'ie added, gently. Within an hour the night had closed in, and Lee-Carson, wrapped up in a blanket and a couple of empty provi sion sacks, sat blinking over the Are made of dried reeda and the molSering remnants of a forest, and shivered, his head humming with the SO grains of quinine which wag to be hit garrison against the now almost due attack of swamp fever. ,,', ;' , . Qrammel, from the other side of the Ore, watched him narrowly through the smoke, and wondered how aoon - it would be safe to make him comfortable ' ""I wish yon wouldn't sit tnere and stare like a sight owl, Grmmel,Ie- Cartxm wu Mytag rmfuliy.ri raw bejpf alcfe h Tr ft, jgo ; i bh mongrel malaria. If yon would path on to the higher ground you might save us both." i . J- "111 statt when the moon rises," re piled Grammel with ready untruthful .nrsA. : ' "That's all right," said the nick man drowsily; "pile tip those reeda at my elbow and I'll keep the fire going. I'll do." , Grammel rose at once and began to arrange the heap of reeds to humor his companion's fancy. . " Lee-Carson leaned against them nnd dozed and Grammel, seizing the oppor tunity, added his own blanket to the other's coverings. Lee-Corson opened hls eyea with an effort. "Once too often. Friend Grammel I" he- said. i Grammel glanced confusedly at the offending blanket. "I'm not sleepy." he replied; "be sides. I'll be starting presently. "Take it off!" was the peremptory rejoinder. "Let me make up the Are first," said Grammel. temporizing; but he was saved further argument, for the fever wns gaining upon the sick mnn. "What's thnt?" exclolmed Lee-Carson nervously, struggling to sit up. "They are coming! That's the trampling of the hoofs!" "Dare say they are," said Grammel, with a vague wish that there was a hoof within 200 miles of them. "You might try to rest now." Lee-Carson made no reply, but sank back obediently on his blankets, where he lay moaning and muttering in an uneasy half-consciousness. Thus the night wore on. Then, because the desolation was so intense, Grammel began to grumble; his voice rang like a minor undertone through the resonant booming of the bitterns and the harsh chorus of the frogs in the pools and fens around them. "Half this tobacco's soaked," he said, sniffing contemptuously at the hollow of his hand, "and the rest tastes like smoked porridge steam; but 1 suppose It's better than breathing in this fetid fog in its native nastiness. Pah! it's chilly too. I don't think" He stopped. Lee-Cur son wns Binging, a broken line or two nt first, then bis voice rang out clearly: "ThMs aa the spreading ocean Conquers a sandy coast. Bach title has borne us further To man a lonelier post." "It's only doggerel," he went on with a weak laugh, "but it warms a man's veins, nnd it's true; I tell you, it's true!" The big man opposite sat very still nnd listened. Lee-Carson ran on in the irascible monotone of delirium: "Fordison and Chester died, j-ou know wiped out with fever. Fordison died just at iluwn, a wet, low dawn only as high as the tops of the trees. That was in the forest, when we were mak ing for higher ground. And Grnrumel good old Grammel burled him and plunted a rock on his chest." A spurting blaze flamed out) of the j reeds, and Lee-Curson half rose. "You must do it to keep the hyenas off, you know," he proceeded, solemnly. "Do you think we'll find it an impedi ment on Resurrect ion day ? But I sup pose it's no wor.se thnn acofiln with ten penny nnils is it, Gram?" "Of course not !" answered Gramrnel. "Do shut up!" But Lee-Carson wandered on. "And Chester tlio hyenns hnve him if the crocodiles left nny. They're birds of a feather, eroes und hyenas. Whnt's one man's meat one man's ment how does it go? I can't remem ber!" he sobbed petulantly. The red glow of the fire burnt like a plnpue-spot on the broad dark breast of tho waste ns Grammel fed it si lently. The weary, hollow voice went on: "You're looking very pretty this morning, Alice, with the sun shining in your huir. You knew I'd come back, didn't you, darling?" He looked ncross admiringly into G rammers bearded face. "Let's set the rat-trap In the stable where is it?v I can't find it!" Then from the fnr distance of the mnrshes come Indescribable noises that sounded like Titans langhing, and balls of fen-fire rolled, dimly seen, through the fog, while Lee-Carson got exceedingly afraid because he fancied that he was on board a steamer on a thick night, and that a collision was Imminent, and the skipper not proper ly certificated. . "I tell vou. man. I Bee her Hunts! There!" he cried,' strung like a harp with excitement, 'pointing a Bhaklng hand into the darknses. "She's working round all right," said Grammel, soothingly. "Can't you hear the sailors singing?" adding to him self: "If I can only get him on his songs, that will quiet him down, per haps." Lee-Carson responded to this at once, his eyes blazing "I can hear them I P, Lord, it is good!" he exclaimed, and seemed tolls- ten; and be added, mysteriously: "But It's not the sailors it's don't you know their voices? why, it's Fordison and Chester and end the rest." - And the high trembling voice was once more raised to join in the song: "But northward, east, and westward. And under the tropic sky. The price that we paid to conquer Wars the men who war proud to diet" He chanted it over and over, till the taut sinews loosened and he fell back exhausted, and lay still for many min utes." '-; ' 1 '- ' . Presently Grammel crept around and covered him up carefully. Lee-Csrsoa's sleep was the sleep of exhaustion, but it was better than no sleep at aiu After awhile Grammel too lay down and slept.; '-' '' ' When Lee-Carson wok a huge red moon on the hodxon seemed very doss to hie eyes, and he called out, wildly: - "Grammelt GrammU Curse, you, . I - - . I ... . And from the. other side of the fire Gramme answered him, his dry lips bleedinc aa they parted: "Dead? Of course I'm notr. ' "What's death? began Lee-Carson again. "Don't let that moon dance and gleam in my eyes, it gets Into my brain I Grammel, what's death?" - 'A sleep and a forgetting,' " quoted Grammel, at bis wits' end. "No, It's not that!" Said the sick man more calmly. "Grammel, come here! Where are you?" he groped about for the friendly band that met his. "Look! look! the other side of the fire!" ' . Whet) Grammel could get his heavy eyes open, he looked across and saw nothing, only the snaky tongues of the flame leaping at intervals into the moonstruck gloom. "There's nothing," he said, shortly. Grammel had no imagination, hence he was at a loss, not knowing what he was expected to see. "Nothing?" repented Lee-Carson, peering anxiously forward. VNo, I see kothing now perhaps I dreamed. I think I'm going out. Most people die about the dawn." "not!" said Grammel, lamely. Lee-Carson's lips parted in the old whimsical smile. Presently he said: "I've seen things, Grammel, and I'd like to tell you what I saw." Grammel was sitting close by, his hands clasped round his knees. Being the man he was, he said nothing, only waited to hear. ' "Through the night I've seen them galloping past, squadrons and squad rons of mounted men our fellows, you know." Grammel shook his head impercepti bly. "I shouted to them I shouted who we were, but they were riding fast east wards." "No man rides east," said Grammel, looking up. "You don't understand," said the sick man gently; "you don't know who they are. They're the Frontier Men of Eng land! and their recruiting sergeant's Death. Don't you remember? " They ride for ever up and down To guard the land they won.' Dou't you see them don't you see them now? They're calling me, and 1 can't go! Oh, the morning of life is sweet, but this is better! The end is coming, Grammel; it's coming fust!" He lay down again moaning, and Grammel mixed much brandy with a lit tle mud and water and gave it to him. In a little while Lee-Carson moved, his face distorted in the torchlight of the fire, as he shouted huskily: ' "Fordison, Chester, stop! I'm com ing! I shan't be long, and then we'll ride together. Grammel will come too some doy. 'He'll never die between sheets, good old Grammcl! I wonder if he'll ride 10 stone as a ghost?" He laughed out suddenly, and Gram mcl muttered iu his beard: "He's got it bud very bad." "We'll rido past our graves together and scare the beasts! We'll gallop into the sunset! Who's with you? Ouk wood and Tommy Brown, all of them!" and in IiIb delirious transport he tore the blankets from him. "1 have known many good things in Hfe sea-dawns, nnd ships rushing through the arteries of the world, but this is better than all!" Grammel had started up and was lis tening intently. Still the voice, strained to breaking pitch, rung on: "They start with us on our expedi tions, they bend our armies. The Frontier Men of England! Bcinforced in every border-lizzlc by the bullet by the stab by the swamp-fever. You nt home, you needn't weep! " He censed to peer anxiously out into the gloom of the swamp. "Are you there, you fellows? 1 can't see you. That's nil right. No one dies alone in the waste or the desert, you're always there to see him die. 1 wish I'd told Gram mel, he'd tell the rest. At every nd vance they're with us, and when we die, no man is left to die alone. Tley are always there waiting." It almost seemed to Grammel that he could hear the trampling hoofs of that shadowy squadron. A chill wind stirred tho vapors of the marsh. "I smell the dnwn." Lee-Carson rnised his heud. "I'm coming with the dawn. I know how it will rise, like tho wet glistening side of a white bull over the sodden rim of the marshes. Oh, the glory of it!" he shrieked. "All the men who have passed away into the unknown and died on the edge of the flood. All of them! " 'For ever tiding up and down To guard the land they won.' And when Armageddon comes, they'll be there, the glory of the nges! The men who were planted with a stone on their chests to mark the frontiers of the world!" ' . With an unexpected strength he sprang up and tottered forward, his voice still calling, os he ran with a wild shambling run into the dimness of the daybreak. The light was filtering through the cold gray air as Grammel came up with him. Lee-Carson lay with his bead among the brown leaf-sockets of a water-plant, his hands full of black ooze dead. Grammcl raised him with strong, ten der hands. "Fever breeds fancies and visions. We know that, Yet," he glanced about him oddly into the mists, "the Frontier Men may be more by one," he said.

The first mlrscU waa par formed on the 'borders of the country of Tyre and Bldon, 40 or to miles northwest of the Sea of Galilee. 1 Kings 17:S-24 relates two examples of Elijah's help to a woman of tbla sauna region. Tba other miracles WC the lesson were performed In the region of Decapolls, on the southeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee (Mark. I Jl. EXPLANATORY. I. Jesus Retires from Galilee for a Time. V. 21. The reason for this seems to have been the increasing op position of the Jews as described in the previous portion of the chapter, and in the discourse concerning the- bread of life which followed the feeding ot the 8,000 a short time before this lesson (John 6:60-71). We learn also from John 7:1 that "the Jews sought to kill Him. IL The Afflicted Daughter. V. 22. Jesus hsd gone privately into a bouse, but He could not be hid, and a Syro Phoenician woman in her great anxiety for help bad found Him. And she cried: "Have mercy on me." Her daughter's trouble was ber own. Her daughter was "grievously vexed with a deviL" The torment of this disease may be learned from the description of similar cases. One such, a boy, is described as often falling into the fire and often into the water (Matt. 17:15, 18). The spirit makes him dumb, "and wheresoever he taketb him, he teareth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away" (Mark 0:17, IS). The Gadarene demoniac was wild and fierce, "crying and cutting himself with stones." III. The Mother's Victorious Faith. Vs. 23-23. "But ne answered ber not a word:" He appeared to treat her with neglect and indifference. It seems, by what follows, as if He arose and left the bouse. Various reasons are given for this silence. (1) To test and deep en the woman's faith. (2) "It seems to us that this was not the reason so much as that He might show His dis ciples and all succeeding centuries what a dauntless faith this woman bad. Not for her sake, but for ours, she was put off for awhile." A. F. Schauffler. "HIb disciples . . . besought Him, saying: Send her away:" Cure ber and let her go. They interceded for her, but partly because it was a trial to them to have her crying after them. "But He answered:" speaking to the disciples, and presenting the diffi culty in the way. The mother may have overheard it. "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."' This was His present work, nnd, till nis death, it was the best means for finally reaching the Gentiles. "Then came she and worshiped Him:" By prostrating herself before Him in oriental fashion. "But He answered:" with, a compar ison probably not unfamiliar to her as expressing the feelings of the Jews toward the Gentiles: It is not meet (fitting, proper) to take (to take away) the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs:" The "children" are the Jews; the "dogs" are the Gentiles. "There wns some reason lying nt the base of the designation. The heathens around were, In the mass, exceedingly unclean ly nnd ferocious, barking too. Inces santly at the true God and true godli ness." Morison. She granted the truth of the prov erb, but out of its very truth she brings an argument for the granting of her request, "let:" it is not in spite -of. but because of the truth of the prov erb, thnt she argUes for help, "The dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table:" So let me have the crumbs, what is left over after you have done all you plan for the Jews. It will not take anything away from them if you help me. "0, woman, great Is thy faith: Her faih wns great in its love, being for her daughter. It was great in its earnest ness. It was great In Its foundations, the power and love of the Messiah, and His past' good deeds to others. It was great in Its humility, conquering self. It was great in overcoming ob stacles. "And ber daughter was made whole from that very hour:" As she found on her return (Mark 7:30); for she acted upon her faith and went home. TV. Christ the Healer and nelper of Man. Vs. 29-31. . One example of Christ's work having, been given in detail a general picture Is presented, massing His works together so that we may see more clearly His character and what He came to do. After no very long stay Jesus went north through theter ritory of Sldon (Mark 7:31). then east ward through northern Galilee, across the upper Jordan, and down on the east side of the Sea of Galilee, to the part of Decapolls (the ten cities) bordering on that lake (Mark). He was thus still out of Herod's territory. "And great multitudes came unto Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, nnd east them down at Jesus' feet; and He healed them. Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk. and the blind to see; and they glor ified the God of Israel." 8UQGB8TTVE QUESTIONS. 1 About whore was the miracle of this lasson performed T t What remarkable miracles hsd boon performed In this same locality' many centuries before (1 Kings 1T:8-M)t I.
