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.

I opened one of the newspapers
that I had bought at the statloo bookstand,
dreading to And In flaring letters
the headlines announcing the discovery
of the body.
I found the' announcement?but In
small type.* The murder was ascribed
to a gang battle?the man could not be
Identified, and apparently both police
and public considered the nffnlr merely
one of those daily sinkings that
occur In that city.
Another newspaper devoted about
the same amount of space to the account,
but It published a photograph
tot the dead man, taken In the alley,
where. 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. She
was asleep at ray side and hei* head
dropped on my shoulder. We sat thus
all the afternoon, while the city disappeared
behind us, and we passed
through Connecticut and approached
the Vermont hills. *
Then we had n gay little supper In

Le Cure.
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.
"You see, Jacqueline," I explained, '
"It will look strange our traveling together,
unless some close relationship
Is supposed to' exist between us. It '
might subject yeu to embarrassment?
so I shall > coll you my sister,* Miss
Hewlett, and yop will call me your
brother Paul," And I handed her my
visiting card, because she had never
heard my surname before.

my brother Paul," she answe*^^

Then I discovered that she had <
taken off her wedding ring.
At last the St. Lawrence appeared, |
covered with drifting floes; the Isle of ,
Orleans, with the Falls of Montmorency
behind It; the ascending heights |
which slope up to the Chateau Frss- |

Then, after the ferry had trans- \

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

This proved a task of no gteat dlffl- 1

eniembered a name Leroux bad used

The shot went jiome.

"Where is this seigniory?"
"The seigniory of M. Charles Duthnlne?"
he answered, looking curiously
at me. "It Is the oldest of the
lelgnlories," he continued. "In fact. It
ins never passed out of the hunds of
he descendants of the orlglnnl owners,
tecnuse It is almost uninhabitable In
vinter. except by Indians."
"How would one reach the chateau?"
"In summer." he replied, "one might

the mountains, Hnd then?" He
dirugged hi? shoulders. "I do not

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.

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.

PRIMARY TOPIC?Talking With the
Heavenly Father.
JUNIOR TOPIC?Jesus Teaches How to
Pray.
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?

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
