CHAPTER XXII. i
Wv. A Night of Adventure. s
The federal government agreed to t
say nothing, to put no obstacles In the
^ way of the Russian agent, provided he c
could abduct his trio without serious- i
r ly clashing with the New York police 1
authorities. It vtas a recognized fact t
that the local police force wanted the t
newspaper glory which would attend g
the crushing of the Black Hundred, a
It would be an exploit. But their glory c
was nil; nor did Servan take his trio 1
back with him to Russia. c
Many strange things happened that
night, the night of the final adven- t
ture. c
Florence sat in her room reading. 1
The book was "Oliver Twist," not the 1;
nlcuiBflntpfit Bftrt nf boob to read un- t
der the existing circumstances. Sev- t
eral times?she had reached the place t
where Fagin overheard Nancy's cdn- s
' fession?she fancied she heard doors a
clqsing softly, but credited it to her c
imagination. Poor Nancy, who want- g
ed to be good but did not find time to
be! Florence possessed a habit fa- t
miliar to most of ub* the lieed of apples
or candy when we are reading, s
So she rang the bell for her maid,
intending to ask her to bring up some t
apples. She turned to her reading, d
presently to break off and strike the t
bell again. Where was that maid? She t
waited perhaps five minutes, then laid
down -the book and began to investigate.
7, ; t
There was not a servant to be found 1
\ in the entire house! What in the c
world could that mean? Used.as she t
was to heartrending suspense, she was ?
none the less terrified. Something had
taken the servants from the house, e
From whence was the danger to come
this time? Where was Jones? Why t
Jdid he not return as he .had promised? ?
It was long past the hour when he (
^ said he, would be back. c
She went Into the library and picked j
up the telephone. She was told that s
A ;: Mr. Norton was out on an assignment,
' - but that he would, be notified the mo- I
ment he returned. She opened a draw- r
er in the desk. She touched the au- t
i-' ) tomatic,- but did not take it up. She t
left the drawer open, however. I
' Earlier, at the newspaper office that 8
t night, Jim went into the managing ed- a
I itor's office and laid a bulky manu- t
k script on that gentleman's desk. t
P "Is this it?" t
i "It is," said Jim. s
I. "You have captured them?" e
r "No; but there is a net about them c
; . v. from which not one shall escape.
There's the story of my .adventures, of fi
the adventures of Miss Hargreave and I

| "A hundred and twelve pages, 300
I words to the page; man it's a novel!" '
I "It'll read like one."
5 "Sit down for a moment and let me
skim through the first story."
At the end of ten minutes the editor
laid down the copy. He opened a drawer
and took out two envelopes. The
W;% blue one he tore up and dropped into
[ . the waste basket Norton understood

vJim laughed happily and the two *

/-forth to complete the big assignment.

tepped back with a sharp cry - of

"Stay where you are!"
At that moment she heard a sou.-d
at the door. Her gaze roved; and It
was enough for the man. He reached
out and caught her arm. She tried to
tear herself loose.
"My*child, in God's name, listen to
reason! They are entering the hall
and they will have us both."
Suddenly Florence knew. She could
not have told you why; but there was
an appeal in the man's voice'that went
to her heart.
"You are my father!"
"Yes, yes! But you've found it out
just a trifle too late, my dear. Quick;
this side of the desk!"
Braine and his men dashed into the
library. Olga entered leisurely.
"Both of them!" yelled Braine exultantly.
"Both of them together;
what luck!"
. There was a sharp, fierce struggle;
and when it came to an end Hargreave
was trussed to a chair.
"Ah, so we meet again, Hargreave!"
said Braine.
Hargreave shrugged. What he
wanted was time. i
"A million! We have you. Where
is it, or I'll twist your heart before
your eyes."
"Father, forgive me!"

"Don't tell him, father; don't mind
me," said the girl bravely.
Braine, smiling his old evil smile,
drew the girl close. It was the last
time he ever touched her.
"Look!" screamed Olga.
Every one turned, to see Jones' face
peering between the curtains. There
was an ironic smile on the butler's
lips. The face vanished.
. "After him!" cried Braine, releasing
Florence. I
"After him!" mimicked a voice from
the hall.

Tableau!
Braine was the only man who kept
his head. He floored Norton, smashed
a window, and leaped out. The blow
dazed Norton, but he was on his feet
almost Instantly and followed Braine
through the window. Across the lawn
the two sped, with an exchange of
shots which emptied both automatics
but dld ? no damage. . Braine headed
for his auto. He jumped in, only to
jbe hauled out again by the furious
reporter. A hand:to-hand fight followed;
and the clean life of the reporter
told.
"Therie. my angelic friend, I believe
that the game is up. There is one
shot left in this automatic. If you
make any attempt to escape, I'll let
you have It; not to kill but to disable.
You and your precious countess will
sail tomorrow morning for the Baltic,
and from there you will go to the lead
mines." He dragged his prisoner toward
the house. .
'Tour troubles are over, my child,"
said Hargreave, as he pressed Florence
to his heart.
"And mite have begun," murmured
the countess. "But I have still one
shot." ,v/
The police stood encircling her.
Calmly she opened her handbag and
took out her hankderchief. It was
a thick and heavy silk one. Swiftly
she unscrewed the top of her walking
stick (it will be seen now that the
carrying of it was not an affectation!),
extracted a vial and threw it violently
to the floor. An overpowering Bweet
odor filled the room. Jones, Knowing
how deeply verBed Bralne was In oriental
poisons and narcotics, made a
desperate but futile effort to tear down
a curtain to throw over the liquid; but
even in the effort he felt his senses
going. The last he was conscious of
was a mocking laugh.
But the entrance of Jim, dragging
Braine after him, shocked all the banter
out of the countess. She turned
and rushed madly for the stairs, witl*
out having the least idea bow she was i
to manage an escape from the upper
stories. She had thought Braine free.
As she flew up the steps all tbe past
returned, all her warnings to that stubborn
man. This was the end . . .
Russfa! The horrors of the cold and
the deadly damps of the mines . . .
forever!
Jim, still holding the battered conspirator,
watched her flight in amazement.
He could not understand?till
he pushed Braine into the library and
the vanishing odor assailed his nostrils.
What these fumes were be never
knew, but they proved to be transitory.
Five minutes sufficed to bring
all back, to their senses. For the while
they forgot Olga.
"This man is mine," said Servan,
nodding toward Braine.
"He's yours without charge," said
Jim. V
"I'm an American citizen," said
Braine, who, realizing what the future
held, readily preferred a long
prison term in America to the horrors
of Rupsian exile. '
"Your certificate has * been destroyed,"
said Servan, "and the state
department considers your papers void
because you obtained them under false
oaths. You are an undesirable citizen;
and the republic is happy to learn
that vmi will he taken off its hands "
"And because," added Norton, "you
have laid too many mines in the blackmailing
business, and the government
does not propose to have them made
known to the public ^through a long
and useless trial. It was a long run,
old top; but right is right. And by
the way, I want you to meet Mr. Jedson,
formerly of Scotland Yard."
He indicated Jones, who itarted.
"Yes," went on the reporter, "I recognized
him long ago." (
"It is true," said Hargreave, taking

time, and the effect is observed. Many

possible to tell with certainty which
kind of concrete is most permanent.
When last examined many of the columns
were virtually unaffected; but
others were badly eroded. The columns
that contain the largest proportion
of cement mixed wet have so far

So, presently, Hargreave, Jones,
Florence and Jin were alone. Thai:
smile which had revealed to Florence
her father's identii y stole over his faco
again. He put his hand on Jim's: shoulder
and beckoned to Florence,

Florence nodded.

"And how," said Jones, shaking his
shoulders. ?
V "Well?* said Harirreave.
"My lousiness is done. Still?" Jones
paused.
"Go on," said Har.?reave soberly.
"Well, :he truth is, sir, I've grovra

I was going to ruggest .it.
Norton took Florence by the< hand
and drew.her away.
"Where are you taking me?" she
asked.
,. "I'm going to take this pretty hac d

She followed.

/ God's Call to' Gideon.
I. Gideon In Prayer, w. 11-13. That
the "angel of Jehovah" was a manifestation
of Jehdvah if clear from a
(rareful reading of verse 13. There tfie
first use of the word "lord" is not capitalized,
whereas in the second instance
it is capitalized. This angel
iras a foreshadowing of the- Incarnation
in Jesus of Nazareth. He is clearly
i'lonHfinri urtfTi .Tohnvnh CflPfl Judges
2 1, 2; Gen. 16:10, 18, R. V.). It was
thus that Abraham saw "my day"
(John 8:56). "The angel of the Lord"
at; no time appears after Jesus came,
tui the revised text shows. The nomadic
Midianites brought ruin to Israel
as the bitter fruit of its sin. Theft
was uttered the-cry for relief (Ps. 130).
Tie father of Gideon is passed by, for
ho wae a worshiper of. Baal (v. 25).
Tliey who'bear the vessels of the Lord,
those through whom he works, must
huve clean hands. God's call to Gideon
came to him1 (1) while he was
alsne, as he was, threshing wheat in
the hiding place of a winepress, for
he dare not-thresh in the customary
open place of & threshing floor. This
call came to him (2) as he was faithfully
performing. hie duty, .that one
nearest hits hand (v. #11, Ex. 3:1, 2;
Like 2:8, 9). It was a strange word,
'.'tiiou mighty man of valour," one of
fact and prophecy as well. It was a
brave thing, thus to be faithful and
to receive this call (8) in a time of
erro&t distress and danger. The seouel.
which forms next Sunday's lesson, Is
tho fulfillment of the prophecy-.
11. Gideon In Doubt, w. 13-18. Oldeon's
thought must have been one of
amazement as well as of doubt., His
question, "Why then Is all this befallen
ub?" was a most natural one and
ono that men even now are asking
whan they are In great trouble. Suffering
and misery are npt all to be laid
at tjfod's door, though he permit It, but
chlsfly at the door ofain (Ps. 77:7-9;
Lsa. 49:1, 2). It is possible that Gideon
had not yet recognized his heaven]/.
visitor (cf. v. 21). The name
Gideon means "Hewer" or "Treefeller"
and Indicates, ae all eastern names do,
something of his pemonal Character
or appearance. Hence the significance
of v. 14. ' The Lbrd In the person of
the angel looked upon him' and said,
seeing all of his natural qualifications,
but with the emphasis upon the "I"?
"So In thy might . . . have not I
sent thee?"
Gideon Was the. Agent.
Il'l. Gideon Assured, vv. 33-35. Gideon's
first act on being assured of this
heavenly communication was one of
worship irv. 17-26). His second one
was to take ten picked men and overthrow
the altar to Baal, thereby demonstrating
the Impotence of Baal and
the futility of calling upon him for
I deliverance. The tribesmen at once j
ilgni upon mm as naving percormeu
this act and demand his death from
Joash, bis father, who seems to have
been a sort of caretaker of the idol
(v. 25). These same men later become
Gideon's enthusiastic followers (W.
34, 35). Gideon thus translated theory
Into action and gained confidence.- It
was one man against the community,
and to further rebuke them he erected
an altar to Jehovah (v. 28).
an altar to Jehovah (v. 28). No blast
from Baal struck him or any mark of
displeasure, hence the suggestiveness
of the words of Joash (v. 31). But
now there is another raid (v. 33), and
God is about to strike a blow on behalf
of Israel. Whenever men get
right with God Satan plans a special
assault, 2 Tim. 3:13. A literal rendering
of verse 34 is, "the Spirit of
the Lord clothed himself with Gideon."
Gideon was merely the agent, the instnlment
through whom and by whom
Jehovah is about to do a mighty work
The only satisfactory and sufficient
equipment we can have for effective
service is the enduement of the Holy
Spirit, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4, 5, 8. Notice
this enduement came upon, took
charge of, Gideon after he had by obedient
service shown his trustworthiness.
Men recognized in his trumpet
call a note of the authority God had
Intrusted him with and of which his
previous acts were a demonstration.
IV. Gideon's Caution, w. 3640. Spurgeon
said that he never entered his
pulpit to preach without trembling,
and Gideon would have been more
than human, even after assembling his
army, had he been absolutely free from
doubts. We should never place an
"If" before any of God's promises, and
Jesus reprimanded those of his day
when they demanded a "sign" (wonder),
but Gideon proved his heroism
in part by his caution. Gideon was
afraid of himself but was sure of God.
Once assured of God's leading he was
willing to lead 300 men against the
overwhelming force of his enemies. Ifsuch
a demand was a weakness God
dealt with it with marvelous patience
aad tenderness, just as he condescends
to treat our weaknesses. The very life
of the nation is at stake, everything deoends
upon Gideon's success or failure.
