Henry Maher as the old prospector told the story of the beautiful girl whose strange name has been a legend in Rocky mountain mining camps for more than two generations. Maher has spent most of his 85 years in the search for gold and silver. He crimped the tobacco into his pipe and set down before his fireplace, recounting the story of the mysterious woman who earned camps.” She was young. She was grace- ful. She was masked so well that she foiled all attempts to identify her. The old miner's eyes gained a new brightness as he described her —the winsome woman who refused to reveal her face or her name. Named by Miners. So beautiful was she—and so ca- pable a dancer—that the hard-bitten gold seekers christened her ‘Silver Heels,” after the metallic slippers she wore as she danced. “The girl was known only as Sil- ver Heels. Without warning or ad- vance billing she would appear mys- teriously to dance in the cabarets in Park City, Alma, Montgomery and nearby mining camps. Always she was dressed beautifully — and masked. “After her dance was finished she would disappear just as mysterious- ly. She never appeared in public without her face covered by a heavy veil or a mask. “There were imaginative accounts that she was a southern girl whose family had lost its fortune in the Civil war. These reports she ig- nored. ‘““And she was as straight as a string,” Colonel Maher emphasized. “Everybody her because she wasn’t like the ‘gar- den variety’ of dance-hall girls of that time. “I remember once a drunken gambler attempted to embrace her during a dance. I was only one of a score or more of men who virtually made mincemeat of him. Everyone Loved Her. “The real reason everyone loved her,” he added, ‘‘was because she was an angel—an angel of mercy to the miners and their families. Often she would nurse an injured miner back to health. She was known to have grubstaked several of the boys whose luck failed them. Once she risked her life day and night for a week when a minor smallpox epi- demic struck one of the camps.” The dancer lived in the mining district for a number of years. One day she disappeared as mysterious- ly as she had arrived. It was sup- posed that she returned to her home in the southland. “But we did the best we could to- ward preserving her memory. In fact, we gave her the highest honor the West can pay a person,” Maher declared. ‘‘One day a group of us were discussing the mineral possi- bilities of the surrounding moun- tains. One of the men pointed to one of the highest peaks in the area. “That mountain is like Silver Heels,” he said, ‘Beautiful to look on and with a heart of gold.’ ” FOLLOWING ARE SOM LECTION: 1937 CHEVROLET ........ 1937 PLYMOUTH .......... 1937 PONTIAC ........ 1936 CHEVROLET . 1935 CHEVROLET 1935 PONTIAC 1936 PONTIAC ......... or. 1936 LAFAYETTE .............. 1934 PONTIAC ..........oconoons 1937 STUDEBAKER ...

Iriving Benson, has the fol- lowing to say in answer to the above The quiet daily reading of the Bible graduaily forms within the mind a confidence in the good will of a Father God, a settled belief in right doing, a power of resistance to sor- row and wrong doing, and a steady faith in immortality which none of the events in life can destroy. Somewhere in the house there is al- most sure to be a bible. Find it and blow the dust off it and read it. Try it! Read it for yourself. The only way to possess it is to read it. No man is un- educated who knows the Bible and no man is educated who is ignorant of its teachings. The sheer, dazzling wonder of the | Bible has been dulled by familiarity. i It has come down to us through the centuries as the most precious thing in the world. It is a living thing, full of vitality and regenerating power. In it we have not one man’s experience of God, but a whole people's through a thousand years, written by different ; hands over periods as long as from the Norman conquest to the present time. What is the Bible about? Through- out its parts and portions it is occu- pied with one dominant subject. That is God, and God's relation to men,— and men's relation to one another. The Bible is supremely concerned with questions which go down to the ground of our existence. Is there One living God? Is this Maker and Ruler | of all things really just and holy and compassionate? Does he care for His creatures? Is there any life after death in store for each one of us and for | our race? From first to last theBible | is dealing with these vital questions; and, for beings, such as we are, noth- | ing can be more momentous than the | answers. The Bible looks on the world of real- ity and fact, the world where men live and love, suffer and die: It looks out on the world as God made it, and is making it. It reaches back into grey antiquity, and forward to the golden future, setting the story of man ag- ainst the majestic background of eter- nity. It contains every variety of thou- ght from biting scepticism to death- defying faith. On its pages are im- peachments of the beneficence of God more fierce than in any of the cho- ruses of Swinesburne and an agnosti- cism more ultimate than that of Omar. Yet here also are prayers with wings, songs of victory over death: confess- ions that lay bare the soul of man; pilgrim hymns, elegies portraying the majesty of God: Each writer has his own thought and style, but the whole is united in one passion, one hunger for eternity. Here is a book that knows man and what is in his heart. Righteousness is its great word— righteousness in God demanding right- eousness in man. Why should a man read the Bible? Well, why should a man read any book ? Obviously he reads it for what it has to say to him; and there isno | other reason. What, then, does the Bible say? For answer, let me quote from Richard Greene’s “Short History of the English People.” He is explain- ing the rapid diffusion of the Bible in Elizabethan times and in those of the early Stuarts—'The great problem of life and death whose obstinate ques- tionings found no answer in the high- er minds of Shakespeare's day pressed for an answer from the men who fol- lowed them.” “The great problem of life and death” and “their obstinate questionings”—lay hold of that phrase, for there you have in a nutshell the subject matter of the Biblenot the problems and questionings only, but A few years ago there was a famil- iar question on our lips—asked in a Jest which was more earnest than it seemed: “Where do we go from here-" Well, WHERE DO we go from here? This strange enigmatic thing called | life—what is it? What can it mean? | We are descendants of countless gen- erations that have come and gone: Where did they come from? Where did they go to? And now here am I, and you, for a little space: and our time is spent in a little trouble, a lit- tle happiness, a little pain, a little peace. Round about us our friends, one by one, disappear; and so in our time shall we. Over it all hangs a great mark of interrogation, the sign of the unanswered question. Life does not show its secret cn its face: it is silent as the Sphinx. We know neither the port we sailed from nor the port to which we are bound. Here we are. Where do we go from here? This spectacle of good and evil, this long drama of desire and disillusion, this everlasting alternation of life and of death—what does it all mean? What does the Bible say? The Bible declares that this world means God: that behind everything, working through everything is God. And what is God? God is a holy power who through nature, through human his- tory, through the secret business of one’s private life, is offering Himself. The Bible declares that the very mean- in gof all that is most characteristic in human nature, our inability to live on the mere natural plane, the waves of moral fear that pass over us, and our capacity for tears—the explanation of all those things is, that we are not merely natural, that we are related to ered by several colonies of bees which have made a home in the walls of the Masonic building.

But all through history, and all through the ups and downs of a man’s own career, God, says the bible, is trying to help man,, wanting to help man. And the Bible reaches its climax in Christ; affirms that the heart which beat in the breast of Jesus beats behind the veil of self out in Gethsemane and on Cal- vary had its source in the heart of Him who made us; that we are here in this world to respond to the appeal He says concerning things that lie be- yond our knowledgee. On the basis of all that, the Bible appeals to us to pass our days usefully, sharing with others our knowledge and love, ever looking towards another state of being in which we shall become in all per- fection what in our best moments we strive to be.
