Copyright W. O. Chapmi l| MY 8I8TER, MI88 HEWLETT. Paul Hewlett, loitering at night In Madison square. New .York, Is approached by an Eskimo dog. He follows the dog to a gambling house and meets the animal's mistress coming out with a large amount of money. She Is beautiful and in distress and he follows her. After protecting her from two assailants he takes her In charge, and puts her In his own rooms for the rest of the night. He returns a little later to find a murdered man In his rooms and Jacqueline dazed. I with her memory gone. He gets rid of the body, decides to take Jacqueline to Quebec In the search for her home and runs Into Leroux, who la searching for Jacqueline. CHAPTER IV?Continued. I remembered now that, after sending Jacqueline to the clerk's desk none, sne nna gone to a side entrance and I had Joined her there and left Uie hotel with her in that fashion. I gathered f?Oin what he had said that the possession of Jacqueline was vitally important both to Leroux and to Tom Carson and that they had endeavored to kidnap her and hold her till the man Louis arrived' to advise them. "How much do you know?" hissed Bimon at me. % "Leroux," I said, "I'm not going to tell you nnything. You will remember that I was employed by Mr. Carson." "By !" he swore, "ain't I as good as Carson? What are you going ' * to do with her?" "You'd better go back to the office and wait, unless you want to spoil the game by letting her see you." I said. "I don't know whether Tom's run. alng straight or not," he said huskUy; "but* let me tell you, young man. It'll pay you to keep in with me, and if you've got any price name it I" > ? He shook his heavy Ast over me?I Believe the clerks thought he was going to strike me, for they came hurrylng toward as. But I saw Jacque-, he approaching, and, without another l word, iJErbux turned away. I thought-1 saw a shadow of fear In them. Then the memory was effaced and she was smiling again. I instructed the store to call a messenger and have the suitcase taken at once to the bftggage room in the Qrand ClOlfM 1 1 N j wwu?? lOlIUU. "Now Jacf ueljne, I'm going to take you to lunch," I said. "And afterward will start for home." Outside the store 1 looked carefully around and espied Leroux almost Im? mediately, lighting a cigar In the doorway of a shop. I hit' upon a rather dating plan to escape him. Carson's offices were In a ln^ge modern building, with many elevators and entrances. I wulked toward It with Jacqueline, being satisfied that Leroux was following us; entered about wenty-flve yards before hlra, and ascended to tire elevator, getting olT, however, on the floor above that on which the offices were. I was satisfied that Leroux would follow me a minute later, under the Impression that we had gone to CarSon's office, and so, after waiting a minute or two, I took Jacqueline down hi another elevator, and we escaped Ihrough the front entrance and Jumped Into a taxlcab. I was satisfied that I had thrown Leroux off the ^cent, but I took the precaution to stop at a gunsmith's shop and purchnsh a pair of automatic s pistols and a hundred cartridges. But I was very uneasy until we found ourselves In the train. At last everything was accomplished?our baggage upon the sqats beside us and our berths secured. And then, at the very moment when the. wheels began to revolve, Leroux stepped down from n neighboring trnla. As he passed our window he espied us. He started and glared, and then he came racing back toward us, shaking his fists and yelling vile expletives. He tried to swing himself nnonrd In Ills fury, despite the fact that the doors were all shut. A porter pushed him back, and the last I saw of him ne was still pursuing us, screnmlng with vage. 1 knew that he would follow on the seat train, reaening Quebec about five 1he following afternoon. That gave us 0*e hours' grace. I turned toward Jacqueline, fearful that she had recognized the man and realized the situation. But she was rilling happily at my side, and I was confident then that, by virtue of that acme mental Inhibition, she had nel lier seen nor heard the fellow. New York was slipping away. All s?y old life was slipping away like this?and evil following as. I slipped one of the automatics ont of my sult' ense Into my pocket and iwore that I would guard Jacqueline fiogt any dtadtw of harm. NEW USE FOR QRAPE CROP fcatlontl Prohibition Will.Not Cava.

It appeared, the reporter had viewed the body before It had been removed. The photograph looked horribly lifelike. I cut It out and placed It In my pocketbook. I turned toward Jacqueline.

The very obvious decision at which ' I arrived after a night of cogltntion ' In my berth was that Jacqueline was 1 to paqs as my sister. I explained my 1 plan to her at 'breakfast.

A slightly built. well-dressed wnn, with <1 sinnll. upturned mustache and a face of notable pallor, passed and repassed us several times, staring and smiling withcool effrontery at both of us. I was u good deal troubled by this but before I had decided to address the fellow we landed, und a sleigh Awept us up the hill toward the chateau to the tune of Jingling bells. "This is Quebec, Jacqueline," I said. 1 I thought that she remembered un- I willingly but she said nothing. We secured adfacent rooms ift the t Chateau, and leaving Jncquellne to I unpack her things, and under Instructions not to leave her room, and promising to return as soon ns possible, I started out at once to find Muclay A I Robltallle's. 1 This proved a task of no gteat dlffl- 1 culty.

A sudden stoppage In his flow of words, nn almost guilty look upon his face, as a new figure entered the little shop, directed my attention toward the stranger. lie was an old man of medium slfce. very muscularly hullt, stout, and with enormous shoulders. He wore a priests soutane, hut he did not look like a priest?he lqoked like a man's head on a hull's body, ills smooth face was tunned to the color of an Indian's? his bright blue eyes, almost concealed by their drooping, wrinkled 110s, were piercing In their scrutiny. | "Bo'Jour, Pere Antolne,"- said the shopkeeper deferentially, fixing bis eyes rather timidly upon the old priest's face. "Eh bien, .who is this with whom thou gossipest concerning the daughter of M. Duchalne?" Inquired Father Antolne, looking at me keenly. "Only a customer?* stranger, mo* tolne ronghly. "Now.' monsieur,** be said, addressing me In fair English, "what Is the nature of your business that It can possible concern either &L Duchalne or his. daughter? Perhaps 1 can Inform you, since he is one of my parishioners." | "My conversation was*nbt with you. Monsieur le Cure." I answered shortly dnd left the shop. I had not gope three paces from the door, however, when the priest, coming up behind mb. placed a huge hand upon my shoulder and swung me round without the least apparent effort. "I do not know what your busfhtes Is, monsieur," he said, "but If It were an honest one you would state It to me. If you wish to see M. Duchainc I am best qualified to assist you to do so. since I visit his chateuu twice each year to carry the consolutlons of religion to him and his people. Rut If your business Is not honest It will fall. End It, then, and return to your own country." 9 "I do not Intend to dlscU8? my business* with you, monsieur," I answered angrily. v He let me go and stood eyeing me with his keen giffee. I Jumped on a passing car, but, looking back, I saw him striding along behind It. He Beemed to walk as quickly as the cat went through the crowded street, and with no effort. I found Jacqueline in her room, look Ing over her purchases, and took her down to dinner. And here I had another disconcerting experience, for hardly were we seated when the inquisitive stranger whom I had seen at the ferry came Into the dining room, and after a curerul survey which ended as his eyes fell an us. he took his seat at an adjacent table.

INTERMEDIATE TOPIC?Prayer a Privilege and a Duty. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC?Tho Christian Conception of Prayer. I. The Proper Motive In Prayer (Mntt. 6 :fV8). The righteousness which counts with e Rod Is doing right deeds with the right motive. Righteous as the act of praying is It may be an abomination unto God: 1. If It be to he seen and heard of men (v. 5). Much of the public praying is false?when there is more thought of what the people think than of what God thinks. In praying the Individual Is dealing with God, therefore If he be engaged in It to attract men's attention It Is blasphemous. It,. Is not wrong to pray on the street corner and In the synagogues; that which Is condemned Is doing It to be seen of men. 2. If there he the use of vain repe tltlons (v. T). This does not mean that we should ask out once, for we have examples of Christ and of Paul praying three times for the Rome thing (Matt. 25; 39-40; II Cor. 12:7-8), hut meaningless repetitions as done by the heathen. The reason assigned Is that "your Fnther knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him" ( . 8). God Is pleased with true prayer (v. 6). We should have a real desire for fellowship with God. Since prayer Is a transaction of the soul with God, we should go to our Inner chamber, where only God can hear, and there commune with him. II. The Model Prayer (Matt. 0:9-15)., 1. Right relationship. "Our Father." Only those who have become children of God by faith In Jesus Christ (Gal. 8:26) can pray aright. , 2. Right attitude. "Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come." When, we realize that we haee been delivered from the power of darkness and trabe-' lAted Into the kingdom of his dear 8on. (Col. 1:13) by being made the children of God we cannot help pouring ggvg 1 kingdom. 3.' Right spirit (1) That of trust which looks to him for dally bread. (2) That of love which results in the, forgiveness of others. God will not listen to the prayer of the one who has' or. unforgiving spirit. (3) That of* holiness which moves us to pray not' to be led in temptation, and longs to be delivered from the evil one. 4. The ascription of praise. "Thlno Is the kingdom, the power, and the elorv forever." III. Persistency In Prayer (Luke 18? 1-8). The teaching of this parable is that men ought always to pray and not to faint (v. 1). The context shows that prnylng should he the business of the church while the Lord Is absent. Having referred to the coming of the' Lord at the close of the preceding chapter he uses this pnrnhle to enforct 4he obligation of the church under the figure of a widow crying day and night unto God. Though the unjust judge had neither fear of God nor regard for man he avenged her of hef" Crib^ mles. Much more, then, will the ted*der loving Father. God. avenge his own elect (v. 7). God Is pleased with those who persistently pray, or, as popularly expressed, "pray through." IV. The Proper Attitude In Prayer (Luke 18:9-14). This Is brought out In striking contrast by two men praying. The Pharisee's sense of self practically excluded the consciousness of God. The poor iMiiMiciin iiiiu ii moat Keen sense of hod. and therefore sought-his mercy. The Pharisee presented personal credentials, while the publican cast himself upon God's mercy. The publican was Justified, while the Pharisee was rejected. Let us come Into the presence of God with humility, for Qod Is holy. Winning Out. If you are living and working earnestly nnd honestly for what seems to you the right and good thing between man and man, and inan and God, then you may rest assured of this, that the most tremendous forces in all the universe arc somehow working behind nnd with you. The Increasing and unfolding purposes of all the ages, the labors of heroic men and women of countless patient generations, the very ultimate powers In the great universe, that God himself mast have made, are all somehow linked nn with the alms and purposes and ideals that are yours. Is there, then, any chance of failure or ultimate disaster? * .. ^ I According to Nature. The leaven In the measure of meal did not need to struggle and strive to transform Its surroundings, nor to be anxious about results. It was what It was, and because It kept on being leaven and nothing else It changed the whole mass. It Is Christianity which Is to leaven the world?the dally living Christianity of those who belong to Christ Easy to Commit Sin. It Is a great deal easier to ^o*umtt a second sin than It was to commit the flret, and a great deal harder to repent of a second, than It was to repent of the llrst?Benjamin Which
