The same instant there was thecrack of a rifle from the bow of the

Helen Carmody-A dozen bullets tore through the

class and mahogany skIes of the for-ward deck house Sidney HammondtH to the deck The Shark swungsharply to the starboard and in n fewseconds was speeding away to theeast It alt happened so quickly thatwith one exception the men on thelichen Carmody were too dazed to

make n move The wheelsman sentthe yacht hard to port

Mr Kent was the first to reach theside of Sidney Hammond There wasa stain of red on his shoulder nodthey tore and cut away the coat andshirt As they did so Sidney openedhis eyes He stared for a momentand jumped to his feet

It is nothing he said as he tookn long breath It Is merelya lleshwound The shock dazed me for amoment I am all right

Sidney laughed but his face wnswhite and the blood flowed freelyfrom his right shoulder The yachtstewardwho was also a surgeonexamined the wound and declared itpainful but not dangerous Hestaunched the flow of blood andbandaged the wound Sidney watchedthe fast disappearing Shark dur-Ing

and one shot played havocwith the china closet Miss Carmo ¬

dy came up from below ncr facewas pale but she did not seem in theleast alarmed She proceeded to actns nurse for Sidney and would notlisten to his declaration that he 4going on deck Chalmers regretted-he had not been shot

in which the Lord during Hisministry recognized children blessedthem healed them and paid the exalt ¬

TODAY is being celebrated in theschools all over this land as

Childrens Day The tread of childrens feet is heard and their storyIs told in song and verse Songbirdsand flowers lend their music and fra-grance to the day Kverythingspeaksof that charming freshness and beauty which is inseparable from childhoodAnd because it is Childrens Day it isbut fitting that we should speak forthe children and of tKe children We I

want to tell the story of a little lad I

whose pathway crossed that whichJesus was traveling and whose simpledeed has lived in the sacred pages ofOqds word to thin day Only one littleverse is devoted to his biography Wedo not know his name Scripture doesnot tell UK anything about his home orhis parents We have only thirteen Ut-

Ile words most of them of one syllableto tell us about this lad and they simplystate that he WRB npnrjlcsus andhadin his bag or pouch five little roundcakes and two small dried fishes Andyet by reading between the lines wemay know munch concerning him andlearn many lessons

FUT of all we want to learn all weabout the incidents and circum

stances connected with the lad as heis introduced to us by our textJesus has been performing many miracles at Capernaum and in the regionroundabout Ah how many homes liebrightened sobs were turned to songs

were wiped away nndsmiles brought to faces that were distoiteVl with pain and trouble Intoevery home where Jesus went there achange was wrought Arid itis soeventoday The homes where Jesus isinvited in as guest and where He

dwehhimmgtheretrouble have to lIce away And becnife Jesus didso much good asHe traveled through Galilee nndCapernaun great crowds followed HimBut it pained Jesus to know that itwas curiosity and not faith whichbrought most of the people to Him 1

disciplesIntothe lake across from Capernaum ButsoughtHimway around tfre shore of the lake Andwhen Jesus saw them lie began toquestion the disciples as to howthey were to be fed in that wllderness place for He Himselfknew what He would do It isat this point that Andrew speaks upand directs attention to this lad whohngthe five barley loaves and twosmall fishes Some tiny when I reachCityIfrnnchs own lips all this wonderfulst i It may be your privilege aswell as mine If you are trusting inJesus for salvation But let us not becontent to watt until then to learnsome of the lessons which he mayteach us-

light in her eyes she wreathed her facein smiles she pitched her voice to thetune of the birds singing without herwindow and then went tripping downstairs her light heart giving wings tu-ber little feet The first one she metwas Bridget in the kitchen She hada cloud on her face that betokened nstorm The dished rattled and bangedan impatient discord It was enoughto make our little girl forget hergood resolution and run off and leaveBridget to her unhappy mood It wasa hard place tq begin But Jesus likesto have us begin in the hard placesAnd you will see before our story Isdone that it wa R just where this littlegirl needed to begin When our littlegirl came dancing in she did not givethe illnature of Bridget a chance tochill her heart She did not say

Well if Bridget is sruingtobEHcrofs-and mean I will becross and meantoo to pay her backshe just letthat smile shine onto Her bright eyesput to shame the downcast eyes andfrowning brow of Bridget Her cheeryvoice called out a happy Good morn ¬
