"Here cornea Stover and Willie." ..
"More had aews.' Glass unrolled
fcla nraver-me. and stepped trpon- it
hastily. "Say, what's that word?
Quick! You know! The password.
Quick!"
"Allah!"
That's herl" The fat man began
to mumble thickly. It was plain that
his spirit was utterly broken.
But this caH was prompted purely
by solicitude. It seemed. Willie had
little to say. and Stover, ignoring all
mention f the earlier encounter he
had witnessed, exclaimed:
'There's been some queer goin'son

"We ain't altogether certain. Ca

we found where & boss had -been pick-'
eted out in the ravine. Looks like he'd

"It has nothing to do with me."
"I ain't sure. It looks to us like It's
somebody from the Centipede. They're
equal to any devilment" i " ! '.. -
Speed showed an utter lack of com
prehension, so Willie explained. ,;.
"Understand, we've made this Tace
pay or play. Mebbei theyt aimp, to

"Me!" Speed started. ."Good heav-

"Oh. they'd do it quick enough! I
wouldn't put it past 'em to drop a .45
through your winder if it could be
done safe." , ' r
"Shoot me, you mean?"
"Allah!" said Glass, devoutly from
his corner. -
Stover and Willie nodded. 'If I was
you, I'd keep the lamp between me
and. the winder every night."
"Why, this is. abominable!" ex
elalined'the young college raani stiffly.
"I I can't stand for this,1-It's getting
too srious." "
"There ain't nothin to fi5ar," said
Willie, soothingly. "Kemember, I
told you at the start that ; we'd see
there wasn't no crooked work done.

you. We'll keep to the open country."
' instantly Speed saw the direful con-
ocvuences. or such a procedure, and
summoned his couraee to rsv "Nn

"I sure admire your courage, but If

The two men went out, whereupon
Glass chattered:';
-W what did I tell you? It's
worse n suicide to suck around - this
farm. I'm going to blow."
"Where" are you going?"
"New York. Let's beat it!"
. "Never!" exclaimed the college
man,' stubbornly. We'll hear from

"Lefs-walk."
"Dont be a fool ;
Then IVe got. to have a drink.'
Glass started for the living-quarters,
but, at the door ducked quickly out of
sight. "She's there I" he whispered
tragically. "She seen me, too!"
Mariedetta was squatting in. the
shade opposite, her eyes fixed stolidly
upon tne training-quarters.

Cloudy grunted, and threw a yellow
envelope on the floor at Speed's feet.'-
There is something for you,' said
he, while his lips curled. He turned,
and limped silently to the door.
"And I tried to kid him!"- breathed
Glass, with; disgust, when .the visitor.

The college man made uncertainly

fell limply at full length, and groaned.
"Call the race off!" -
Glass snatched the missive from hla
employer's nerveless fingers, and read,
with bulging eyes, as follows:

"Poisoned, eh?" said the fat man,
tremulously. "Poisoned! Nixf' Not

Exercise to Develop the
Throat, Neck and Bust
Girls who are Inexperienced in the
matter of deep breathing do not real
ize that lung expansion, and using the
cords about . the neck, will do won
ders, not only for the. throat and neck,
but will also develop the bust.. '
If you doubt the effect of full lungs
f upon hollows of the neck you can dem
onstrate it easily to your own satisfac
tion. Just remove all tight clothing,
stays, etc., and stand with bared neck
before a mirror. Then slowly . inhale
through the nostrils until the lungs
are filled from1 the lowest part to the
top,, and with the swelling of the up
per part of tfcese organs, all angles
will disappear, for the hollows will be
filled out. If the habit of deep breath
ing can.be acquired, and regularly
practiced a great step toward beauty
is thus gained. Incidentally so much
other physical benefit comes from this
habit; that the entire system, is im
proved. " ' "
"During the exercises hold the chest
in correct military position and throw
the shoulders well back.-" .
I have often heard dumbbells rec
ommended as a valuable adjunct to
these exercises, but if. the , fists are
clenched and all work is done with a
vigorous . throw of the hands, as if
one were trying to fling them from,
the arms, nothing further Is needed.
It is only In this way, though, that
good will result in the exercise, for. If
the work comes merely from the . el
bows' it ,is useless. Try. it, and yeu
will see that if, the arms above the
elbow " are not : vigorously worked no
chest or neck cords are 'exercised.
Different individuals, need different
treatment as to external applications.
From experience I have found this to
be true. : Often I advise a certain lo
tion or cream to be used, and in some
cases results will prove very gratify
ing,' while in others the women will
write . me t.p say. the lotion was abso
lutely no benefit to them at all. This
is mainly caused. by different textures
of the skin. Some skins absorb what
is applied to them quite readily, while
others have -to be massaged and
worked upon in order to make It sink
In.;:- "...
I Know a woman who declares that
.she, can make hr heck '.plump-in a

kind of v'isrH oil is certainly a tissue
.builder and in "this state; It' absorb?

Milk" is also fattening. , .
i : A physician" has recommended In
cases of thin neck, as from 111 health,
the. taking of, cod. liver oil and direct
applications of . a good lotion to the
neck. Tn action of any application
is Jifeely to be hastened if the skin
.has' ibeen ; previously wet with .hot
cloths for five'or ten minutes to soften
and open ; the pores, which will then
have even a greater power of absorp
tion. ; , - : ,; ' :

move the cup- from: the water f and
beat. ,At the first sign: of. cooling. beat
in the tannin. When all is .creamed
it is ready and is used as any other
massage cream. . ..
If after following all directions for
applications you find that within a ;
reasonable time it does not absorb
as well as it should or in any ;other
way does not agree with your skin, it
is evident you need to change, . and
another kind of .cream should he sub
stituted.' - . .. .. ...
" Warm oil, tissue builders and mas
sage creams have all had their praises
sung by different women, . and of
course it only .remains to, be found
out what agrees best and absorbs
readily into your skin. Having decid
ed upon the kind of application that
best agrees with your skin, and being
willing to take the time for the work,
you should remove all. constricting
garments and have plenty of fresh air
in the room. Exercise may begin with
deep breathing. At first only two or
three long breaths may be possible
without becoming light-headed. , This
sometimes is due to your not being ac
customed to filling your lungs, and as
the habit is acquired the unpleasant
feeling disappears.': It is better to
take a couple of long drawn breaths
every few minutes than to take ten at
once, for instance. .;

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER U
THE TEN; COMMANDMENTS.
LESSON TEXT Kx. 20:12-21,
GOLDEN TEXT-"Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God. with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy-,
strength, and with all thy mind and thy
neighbor as thyself." Luke 10:27. .'
Every commandment contained lr
this second table of the law is condi
tioned upon and rooted in that whlchi -Is
commanded in the first table, and
all has been reiterated In the New
Testament , '..
V. ,The Fifth Commandment, v 12.
The word "honor" while confined to
this commandment the relation of
child to parent Is predicated upon
man's relation to God on the one
hand and on the other It flashes its.
ilght upon every subsequent command.
Our duty to God is pre-eminent.' If w
neglect jor disregard God's rights, the.
rights of man will soon be lost sight
of. A due and proper regard for those
to whom we owe our being is our first
obligation and is here placed before
those laws that .deal with our rela
tions to outsiders.' ; Respect, esteem.
obedience and support are all a part
at that honor which. Is commanded,
fee Pro v. 1:8; Eph. 6:1-3; Matt 15 ?4-6.
Notice ' also that woman's place is
here made equal to that of the man
It is Paul who . emphasizes the fact,
that this Is the "first commandment . .
with promise," and also that to; neg
lect this duty is to invite punishment
(Eph. "6: 2, 3). It is the business of the
child to honor the parent, no matter
what may be his character;, he must;
not sit In1 Judgment. On the 'other '
hand, the parent has an. obligation to-,
the child, Eph. 6:4. . -
Human Life Sacred. .
VI. The Sixth Commandment, v. 13i
This is a revelation of the sacredn.es
of human life. God alone has the right .
to take awav or command to take
away human life. One reason for this; '
is because we are made in his Image,' .
Gen. 9:6. ' -
.VII. The Seventh Commandment, v.
14.' This commandment deals with
the sanctity of the married relation
and indicates the sacredncss of parent
hood. There is "no other sin that so
speedily undermines human character ,
and overthrows families, tribes . and
nations. It is the source of, . or leads
:o, every crime in the calendar. It de
molishes the moral sense, wrecks the
body, brings a hell of remorse, misery
and despair, and effectually bars man
from heaven, I Cor. 6:10, 11; Heb.
13:4; Rev. 22:15.
VIII. The Eighth Commandment, v.
"15. Here is a statement which deals
with the sacred rights of possession.
To take that which rightfully belongs
to another is to steal.. It does not
matter if it be done "within the law" .
hv withholding: a lust comnensationv .
or by gambling, it is just the same
Dent. 24:14, 15. TI1I3 wxrkft both ways.
The employe Twho steals hia employ
er's time, the buyer or the seller who
cheats; lotteries in the church or out
of it, these are forms of stealing inr '
that they take something without ren
deflng a Just equivalent of value.
IX. The Ninth Commandment, v. 16.
i dis commanamenc , recognizes ine
sacred rights of character and insists'
upon absolute truth as a standard of
Judgment Reputation cannot be
passed on from father to son; it is
much harder to secure then mcney
and is far more valuable. Backbiting,
false slander are not compatible with
love for yo-ar neighbor. To give wings
to a bit of scandal you have received '
is to violate this law.
The Most Severe.
X. The Tenth Commandment, v. 17.
This is perhaps the most severe re
quirement of any In this second group
of laws. The man who keeps this will
readily and easily keep the four which
Immediately precede it. AH desire for'
those things that belong to another is
inconsistent with true love, and In the
light of this law such a desire is sin,
yea, more, it is idolatry,. Col. 3:5.
Hard as it is thre is, hewever, a way
to observe it, viz!, to "love your neigh
bor as yourself." Such love will do- .
sire that he shall have the best things
and consequently makes it impossible
for us to covet his possessions.
The effect (v. 18) upon the people of "
this 1 manifestation of God's glory and-.
the giving of the law was that they
were ailed with fear and besought
Moses 'rather than God to rpeak with
them.' "i This i3 sC commentary upon the

with God we cannot expect that chll.

that human life will be safe,, that tho
