It was not dreadfully cold, but the
sky seemed only a vast turmoil of
snow. Darkness came down very ear-
ly, but at last Harris began to recog-
nize familiar landmarks close by the
trail, and just as night was settling
In he drew into the partial shelter of
the bench on the bank of the coulee.
The horses pulled on their reins per-
sistently for the stable, but Harris
forced them up to the house. His
loud shout wns whipped away by the
wind and strangled in p. moment, so
he climbed stiffly from the wagon and
pulled with numbed hands at the
double thickness of carpet that did
service for a door. He fancied he
heard a sound, but could be sure of
nothing; he called her name again
and again, but could distinguish no
answer. But at last the fastenings
which help the carpet gave way, and
he half walked, half fell, into the
house.
The lantern burned dimly, hut it
was not at the lantern he looked. In
the farthest corner, scarcely visible In
the feehl» light, stood his wife, and at
her shoulder wns the gun, trained
steadily upon him.
“Mnry Mary, don't you know me?”
be cried.
She dropped her weapon to the floor,
where it went off, harmlessly burying
Its charge In the sod wall.
“Thank God, oh, thank God!” she
exclaimed.
He thr€*w off his wet overcoat and
rushed lo her side. But she sat silent
on the bed, staring absently at the
light flickering uncertainly in the wind
from the open door.
He hastit.v rearranged the carpet,
then, returning to her. he took her
hands in his and rubbed them briskly.
But she still stared vaguely at the
light.
Suddenly a thought came to him.
He rushed outside, to find that the
horses, of their own accord, had taken
shelter beside the stable. Here from
the wagon he drew a little bundle and
hurried back to the house.
She was sitting where he left her.
shivering slightly and watching the
play of the light as it flickered up and
down the wall. He tore the package
open and spread its contents before
her.
At first she took no notice, but
gradually her eyes found the outline of
soft cloth and dainty feminine de-
vices. With a great Joy he watched
the color returning as her set face re-
to Emerson. The cost of subsistence
of nmn and team on the way devoured
all the proceeds of the wheat; indeed,
there were instances on record In the
settlement where men who attempted
such trips during the winter actually
came back poorer than they left, while
those who could show a gain of a bag
of sugar, a sack of flour, or a box of
groceries were considered fortunate
Indtod.
“What shall we eat?” said Harris to
his wife, when, after a full discussion,
it was decided that no more grain
could be marketed until spring.
“Oh. we shall not suffer," was her
calm reply. “We have over 500 bush-
els of wheat."
“But we can't eat wheat!”
“I'm not so sure of that. I heard
Mr MeCrae say that lots of families
had wintered on wheat. Indeed, boiled
wheat Is something of a delicacy. Even
the best city families raiely have it.
although it is more nutritious than
flour and much easier to prepare.”
Harris thrilled with Joy over his
wife’s vivacity. The strange gloom
that oppressed her so much of late
had cost him many anxious hours.
So. in high spirits, they planned for
their winter. There were long hours,
and little diversion, and the desolation
of bleak, snow-bound prairies on ev-
ery side, but thrc^igh it all they kept

ness. She raised her fnce to his and
slipped tier arms about his neck, find
he knew that for the moment lie had
snatched her out of tile valley of the
shadow.
Harris made no more attempts tc
market his wheat that winter. Hlf
wife's health now became his first con
sideratlon, but, even had there beer
no such problem, experience had
shown that nothing was to be gained
by making the long and expensive trip
At Inst came the crisis. At 4 in the
afternoon Harris kissed his wife an
affectionate farewell, hitched his
horses to the sleigh, and started out
post-haste for Plainville. He drove by
way of the Morrisons, where a few-
low words sent Tom to the stable at
a trot to hitch his own team, while
the good wife bustled about in the
“room." almost overwhelmed with the
importance of her mission.
"I will go for the doctor, Jack, and
you go back and take the wife with
you.” was Morrison’s kindly offer, but
Harris would not agree. It was dark
jy this time, and he felt that he could
trust no one else to make the journey
to Plainville. Besides, there was more
than a chance that Dr. Blain might be
incapable, and in that case it meant a
drive of 30 miles farther.
“It's good of you, Morrison,” he said,
“hut you are more used to your wife’s
bidding than I am, and you can he of
good service there, if you will.” And
without waiting to argue he sprang
into his sleigh again and was whip-
ping his team into the darkness.
“Night, Harris," said the landlord,
who had a speaking acquaintance with
every settler within 20 miles. “Ye're
drivin' iate. Ye’ll have a bite of sup-
per ar>' stable the team?"
“No, Hank, not tonight, thanking
you the same. But I'm after Dr. Blain,
and I’m in a hurry. Is he here, and—
is he fit?” There was an anxiety in
the last words that did not escape the
host.
“Nothin’ ser’ouK, I hope? Frost, or
somethin'?” Then, without waiting for
reply, lie continued: “Yes, doctor’s
here. Upstairs, bed to the right as ye
go up. Just got in a little back. As
for fit—dig ’ini out an' judge for your-
self.”
Harris lost, no time scaling the lad-
der which led to the upper half-story
of the building. It was a garret—
nothing better—where the cold stars
looked through knot holes in the pop-
lar shingles, and the ends of the shin-
gle nails were tipped with frost. An-
btlier wall lamp burned uncertainly
here, flickering in the wind that whis-
tled through the cracks in the gables,
and by Its light Harris found “the lied
to tlie right." The form of h man lay
diagonally across it. face downward,
with arms extended above the head,
and so still that Harris paused for a
moment in a strange alarm. Then lie
slipped his hand on the doctor's neck
and found it warm.
"Cotue, Doctor," lie said, “I want you
with me." But tlie sleeping man an-
swered with not so much as a groan.
“Come, Dr. Blain,” Harris repeated,
shaking him soundly. “I want you to
go home with me.” He might have
been speaking to the dead.
In sudden exasperation he seized the
doctor by the shoulder’s, and witli one
heave of ids mighty arms set him up-
right on the floor und shook him vig-
orously.
Dr. Blain opened his eyes and
blinked uncertainly at the light.
“Wbatehe doing, Hurrls?” he said at
length, and the recognition brought a
thrill of hope. “ 'S no use * * * Got-
ta sleep It off. ’S no use, Harris. 'S
no use.” And he crumpled up In the
bed.
But Ilurris was desperate. “Now
I'm not going to fool with you," he
said. "You get up and cotue with me
or I’ll take you. Which is It?”
But the doctor only mumbled “’S no
use," and fell heavily to si** p.
Tin-owing open his coat tx> get free
motion for his arms. Harris in a mo-
ment wrapped the sleeping man in a
couple of blankets from the bed. threw
him over ills shoulder, cnit-ied him
down the rickety ladder, autf deposit-
ed hint, none too gently. In t.ke sleigh.
There was a mild cheer from the men
about the stove over these heroic
measures, and one of them thoughtful-
ly threw the doctor's satchel Into the
sleigh. Tlie next moment all were
lost in the darkness.
Harris drove for an hour, watching
the trail keenly in the whitish tnist of
the winter's night, and urging the
horses to the limit of their exertions.
He had almost forgotten his passen-
ger when he felt a stir in the bottom

up their courage* and their hopeful-
ness. Mary spent much time with her
needle, from which John, when he felt
she was applying herself too closely,
beguiled her to a game of checkers or
an hour with one of their few hut val-
ued books. And there were frequent
visits and long evenings spent about
a cozy fire, when the Morrisons, or
the Grants, or the Rileses, dropped in
to while away the time. The little
sod house was warm and snug, and as
the men played checkers while the
women sewed, what cared the pio-
neers for the snow and the cold and
the wind whistling across the plains?

of the sleigh. Looking down closely
he found the doctor trying to extricate
a flask from one of his pockets. With
a quick wrench he took it from him,
and would have thrown it into the
snow, but the thought struck him that
it might be needed, and he put it into
his own pocket.
The doctor struggled to his feet.
“Say. Harris, you're friend o' mine,
but don't take too many liberties, see?
'S no use trvin’ without it. Jush give
me that bottle now, or I’ll get out an’
go home.”
Harris was so pleased at the signs
of returning coherence that he could
have hugged the doctor, but lie only
laid, “You've had enough for tonight
And you won’t get out, because if you
try to I'll knock you senseless in the
bottom of the sleigh.”
After that the doctor remained si-
lent for some time. Then suddenly he
demanded : “Shay, Harris, where you
takin’ me to, anyway?”
“I’m taking you to my home.”
“Wha’ for? You're all right, I
guess • • *" Suddenly the doctor
stood erect.
“Harris, is your wife sick?"
“Thnt’s why I enme for you."
“Well, why the devil didn't you say
so? Here, give me that whip.1 Har-
ris, Harris, what did you waste time
arguing for?"
“I didn't waste much. The argu-
ment was mostly on your side.”
“Harris,” said the doctor, after a
long silence, “you think I’m a fool.
You're rigid. It isn't as though I
didn’t know. I know the road I’m go-
ing, and the end thereof. * * * And yet,
in a pinch, I can pfill myself together.
I'm all right now. But it’ll get me
again as soon as this is over. * * •
Any good I am, any good I do, is just

The wreck—yes, it’s a good word that

Just ns- the dawn was breaking he
knelt beside her. Her eyes were very
Inrge and quiet, and her fnce was

pale hand, and tlie thin fingers fhndled

in his eyes.

At one time, apart from the shape,

course, designated more for ornament
than use, when it was the fashion, aa

HVk **’* saw tlie pow-
f&tW P Yk '"r of
festeil for tlie de
liverunce of liis people. Prayer chauged
tilings, and tlie humanly impossible
«as accomplished.
'File promise of Jeremiah 33:3 was
fulfilled many times before the words
were written, us well as many times
since. “Cull unto me umJ I will answer
thee and show thee great and mighty
tilings, which tlion knowest not.” This
is God's call and,challenge to faith.
Some of His people have always be-
lieved and acted on this; others are
now being aroused to its transcendent
importance.
Expecting God to Answer.
There is- a growing spirit of faith
and expectation that God will mani-
fest His saving and transforming pow-
er in answer to prayer. Not for
naught have God’s people gathered to-
gether in watch-night services; not in
vain have faithful men held on in
prayer these past years in spite of
spiritual darkness; not without fruit-
age can tlie labors of the Great Com-
mission Prayer League and kindred as-
sociations lie.
Faitli sees the cloud that is yet to
break in blessing on tiie heads of
God's people. It may not, at present,
hfe “larger than a man’s hand," hut it
is seen on tlie horizon of spiritual
visiou by those who pray. Thtj call of
the hour is for more recruits in tlie
prayer warfare, and an advance Into
the front trenches with the continual
cry, "Lord teach us to pray."
Bible teaching concerning prayer,
like every other doctrine of Scripture,
Is progressive. There is "first the
blade, then the ear, then tlie full corn
in the ear."
In tlie' Old Testament prevailing
prayer is linked with the quality of
righteousness in the one who prays.
Elijali is a striking example of this.
He is presented as a man zealous for
God and righteousness.
Conditions for Prevailing Prayer.
In tlie synoptic Gospels tlie domi-
nant uote for tlie prayer life is that of
faith. Righteousness is not ignored,
but to it faith is added. "All tilings
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer be-
lieving. ye shall receive.” And again,
"What things soever ye desire when ye
pray, believe that ye receive them and
ye shall have them."
This, of course, Implies yieldedness
to God and a life approved of God, and
must he considered in the light of such
« Scripture ns 1 John 3:22, "Whatso-
ever we ask we receive of Jilin tie-
cause we keep His commandments, and
do those things that are pleasing In
His sight."
In the Gospel by John, we are told
to pray “in His name": “Whatsoever
ye shall ask the Futher In my name
He will give it you. If ye shall ask
anything in ray name I will do it." We
are one with Christ in a vital spiritual
union. We are called by His name. |
As a woman does business in tlie name I
<>f her husband, so the Christian Is to I
do business in the name of tlie Lord j
Jesus Christ, Prayer Is more than
communion, it is a service of the high-
est kind. It is doing business in tlie
name of Christ.
The New Testament Epistles add
yet another condition for prevailing
prayer to those of righteousness, faith
and spiritual union with Christ. It is
seen In our text, “Praying always with
all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit."
Praying In tlie Spirit is- tlie addi-
tional condition here named. A f'liris-
tian must learn to walk !n the Spirit,
that is, to walk by the tielp of the
Spirit. Apart from this, his life will
lie n partial failure. So is It in the
matter of prayer. To pray in the
Spivit is simply to pray through the
help of tlie Spirit.
Helped By the Holy Spirit.
“The Spirit lielpeth onr Infirmities."
These infirmities are more obvious in
the matter of prayer that in any other
spiritual exercise. We have been
"made nigh by tlie blood of Christ,"
but our access to the Father Is made
real to ns by the operation of tlie
Holy 'Spirit within our hearts, it Is
only by Ills Ruminating and energiz-
ing presence that we enter the battle
ground of prayer; or. In other words,
the place of real Intercession, which
becomes a battle ground against tlie
principalities and powers and the
rulers of tlie darkness of this world.
"The strong niun" must be bound be-
fore we can enter in and spoil his
goods by liberating those who are held
captive by him. Tills binding power
can be exercised by us only us we
pray in righteousness. In faith, In Ills
name, and in the Spirit. This Is tlie
need of the hour, “Lord, teach u- to
pray.”

Tlie “gas" given off by a freshly

Something glittered in the man’s

“The end!” She echoed his words

A smile flickered across the man's

Tlie fair creature shrugged her
