Much of the time the others were forced to stop off, to get the cramp out of their knees or rest their arms. Had work been the only consideration, he would as soon have done It all. There were, however, reasons for more speed than he could mnke d alone with the heavily loaded craft. The summer wns now far along. The days were rapidly shortening, the nights becoming colder and darker. Delay would mean a serious chance of being caught In early autumn blizzards. Even Lilith Ramill might not be able to survive drive of sleet. Such a an would undoubtedly kill her storm father and, not Improbably, Iluxby also. Persistent use of the paddles would continue the toughening of the three chechnhcos. On the third day Lilith attempted to Keep stroke with him.

With a yawn, Garth stretched up his arms and let them fall. The left one came down across the millionaires body. The back of the hand felt a lump under the leather coat. Iluxby had not again gained possession of the pistol. The cheehahcos had now experienced the different phases of canoeing days of paddling through muskeg, a portage, and the running of But all proved to be no rapids. more than a mild sample of the difficulties and hardships that follow ed. In the next two weeks three more rapids had to be shot and two very hard portages made. Between times, the canoe was paddled interminably through meandering channels that twisted and looped and split off In blind leads. Down In the lower country, the pests of black gnats, mosquitoes and stinging flies became worse. At the same time the flask of grease and pitch dope began to give out. Most of the camps were on wet ground. For days the party were drenched by a steady drizzle, varied only by downpours that kept Lilith and her father bailing the canoe. Several times fog on the water compelled Garth to put ashore. Without sight, even his training could not enable him to follow the right channel. He was not an Indian. But between the forced halts, he put In still longer hours of paddling. Matters were coming to a pinch. After the first wetting by the rain, what remained of the meat spoiled. It became so flyblown and tainted that Lilith threw It away before Garth could prevent the wastage. He decided to give them all another lesson. In the fast that followed, Mr. Ramill was the first to fall. Iluxby came next; Lilith last of the three. By the third day they had given up On the fourth, they all paddling. lay slumped In the bottom of the canoe. Garth only tightened his belt again 'and dipped his paddle in his strong, steady, seemingly tireless stroke. Whenever he found himself nearing his limit, he headed ashore, boiled tea, slept, and then put off again. The fifth day began to draw on the last reserve of his wiry enTowards noon he made durance. the boggy shore, almost outspent. He dragged out the wolfskin knap sack anchor, with its load of platinum alloy. The girl and the two men lay in a stupor of starvation.

Not to be fooled by the seeming bluff. Garth went over IIux-by- s tattered clothes, from coat collar to moccasins. The pistol was nowhere on the engineer. This Is one time I'm due to apologize, Garth admitted. I accept no apology from you, nuxby replied. Lilith looked from one to the other, her own lips tightened. CHAPTER VII The Gaffed Wolf. TR.

He was paddling as vigorously If not as skillfully as his daughter, when, mid morning of the twenty-fourtday from the valley, the canoe neared a wooded point that rose well above the swamps. Garth called out from the stern of the canoe: If you want a surprise, friends, shut your eyes while we take 10 strokes. He knew that Iluxby would keep on staring ahead. But he guessed right about Lilith and her father. At the end of the tenth stroke, the girl flung up her pnddle and uttered a shriek of Joyous amazement: The river! The river! Close upon the cry came the shout of her father: By the Almighty, youve done it. Garth! Were out."

It Is remarkable, however, how Old Testament history, after being labeled as legendary, or, at best, exaggerated," has recently been confirmed as a result of Independent research. For Instance, a little while ago, destructive critics simply laughed at the story of the Flood, and at such incidents as the crossing of Jordan dryshod and the collapse of the walls But today excavations of Jericho. on ancient sites in Palestine, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere have vindicated the Bible narrative completely, even on the points most seriously challenged. To take an example. It used to be urged that Abraham must have been merely a nomad, quite unlettered, and utterly incapable of the acts and w'ords and vision attributed to him. We now know, from discoveries at Ur of the Chaldees, that, as a youth In that city, he was a member of a community enjoying a high degree of civilization. The land of Ur had great cities, settled laws, a state religion, a thriving commerce, schools and monasteries and libraries. Springing as he did from an Influential family, Abraham would partake of the culture and learning of Ur, In short, the circumstances of place and time as we now know them, are not opposed to the Bible narrative. But let us see what modern methods of Investigation have revealed about specific Incidents. Take the Flood, upon which so much scorn has been cast. During the winter of 102S-D- , the excavators of Ur In Babylonia came upon a stratum of alluvial deposit which made a clear break In the succession of civlliza- - CROCnETED FLOWERS FOR POT HOLDERS By GRANDMOTHER CLARK tlons occupying that site. They came to the conclusion that it could only be explained by a flood of great ex tent and duration, occurring about 3000 B. C. or earlier. So, quite apart from the account In Genesis, and the one on the Baby Ionian tablets in the British museum. It would appear that the account of a great flood, which destroyed cities and people over a vast region. Is not legend but history. The very existence of Sodom and Gomorrah, which the Bible tells us were destroyed In Abrahams time, has been doubted, yet, only last year, an airman flying over the Dead sea saw through the crystalline water what appeared to he extensive ruins. Further Investigation Is to be made. But other ruins have been found, covered with ashes. In the neighborhood of the Dead sea. We learn from the Bible that Lot, Abrahams nephew, chose the valley of Sodom because of Its extreme fertility. Today there Is, perhaps, no more desolate region. What happened to It? In the heavily bituminous soil there probably occurred one of those terrible explosions and conflagrations which have been noted In the similar geological formations of the oil districts of North America, In such soil vast reservoirs of oil and accumulations of gas occur. These may suddenly be released either by their own pressure or by The gas explodes and earthquake. flings up masses of oil which return In a fiery rain which will go on blazing even when It falls on water. Saline mud may also be ejected, and these things combined render a fertile land utterly barren. Such a phenomenon would nceount for all the statements In the graphic Bible narrative. Now turn to Joshua 3:14 17 in the Revised Version, In which Is related how Israel crossed the Jordan The waMoflfatt translates: ters that flow down stopped and were dammed up at a distance at Adam, while the waters that flow to the Salt sea were cut off and failed. Adam wras a city 14 miles upstream. Here there Is a ford now known as Jisr ed Damieh, and during the earthquake period of 1027 the west bank of this-for- d collapsed, and part of the cliff so dammed the Jordan that no water flowed down Its bed for 21 hours! On three occasions during comparatively recent times a similar result has ensued from great falls of rock and earth. It seems likely .that some similar event took place when Israel crossed the river on their way to Jericho. There followed immediately the d and often ridiculed collapse of the walls of Jericho. Professor Garstang, who Is still ocThere re cupied on tills site, says: mains no doubt that the walls of the city fell outward so completely that the attackers were able to clamber ui), and over, the ruins Into the city." lie suggests an earthquake as the possible cause, and earthquakes have occurred In this region recently.Readers of the Bible know that, although the Israelites had large Initial successes In their Invasion of Canaan, they failed to subjugate the whole land, and the Jehusite city, which was later known ns Jerusalem, held out until the time of David. It was exceedingly small compared with the modern city, occupying the summit of a grent rock called Opliel, the area being not more thnn some ten acres. When David Invested It, the Inhabitants felt so secure that they said the blind and lame could hold WhoIt against him. David said: soever smlteth the Jebusltes let him (A. V. gut go up the watercourse dry-sho- y him hurl Into the watercourse (I. e., down the precipice) the lame and blind. Then excavation takes place and makes the whole tiling simple. Warrens shaft, named after the excavator who discovered it, provided the key to the city. This "shaft had been constructed to form a safe, sheltered way down to the Virgins Well," from which water was drawn during a siege. So wlint David said In effect was this: What we have to do Is to climb Into the city by wiy of the water . shaft The appearance of Joab and Ms companions took the garrison completely by surprise, the city fell, and became the nucleus of Jerusalem, the City of David.
