In Madison square, New York. Is
approached by an Eskimo dog. He
follows the dog to a gambling house
t 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 ussnilants
he takes her In charge, and puts
her In his own rooms for the rest
of the night. He returns a little
later to And a murdered man In
ms rooms ana Jacqueline uazvu.
with her memory gone. Ho gets
rid of the body, decides to take
Jacqueline to Quebec In the search
for her home and runs Into I.eroux,
who Is searching for Jacqueline.
CHAPTER IV?Continued.
I remembered now that, nfter send
lng Jacqueline to the clerk's (lest
lone, she hnd pone to a side entrants
and I hnd joined her there and lef
the hotel with her In that fashion.
I gathered from what he had salt
that the possession of Jacqueline was
vitally Important both to Leroux am
to Tom Carson and that they had en
deavored to kidnap her and hold hei
till the man Louis arrived to ndvist
them.
"How much do you know?" hlssei
Bimon at me. ?
"Leroux," I snld, "I'm not going t<
tell you anything. You will remcmhei
that I was employed by Mr. Carson.1
"By !" he swore, "ain't I ai
good as Carson? What are you golnj
to do with her?"
"You'd better go back to the ofllci
nd wait, unless you want to spoil tin
game hy letting her see you," I said
"I don't know whether Tom's run
nlng straight or not," he said huskily
"but* let me tell you, young man. lt'l
pay you to keep In with me. and I
you've got any price name It I"
He shook his heavy flst over me?
kelleve the clerks thought he was gc
Ing to strike me, for they came hut
rymg lowuru as. uui i saw jacquc
line approaching, and, without anothe
word, L%r6ux turned away.
I thought I saw a shadow of fear 1:
them. Then the memory was efface
and she was smiling again.
I Instructed the store to call a met
engei and have the suitcase taken a
once to the baggage room In the Gran
Central station.
"Now Jaesueljne, I'm going to tak
you to lunch." I snld. "And ufterwar
Ve will start for home."
Outside the store I looked careful!
around and espied Leroux almost im
mediately, lighting a cigar in the (loot
any of a shop. 1 hit upon a rathe
daring plan to escape him.
Carson's ofticcs were in a large mod
ern building, with many elevators am
entrances. I walked toward it will
Jacqueline, being satisfied that I-erou:
was following us; entered nbou
twenty-flve yards before him, am
scended to tlie elevator, getting oil
however, on the floor above that m
which the offices were.
I wqs satisfied that Leroux wouh
follow me a minute later, under th
Impression that we hud gone to Cai
son's office, and so, after waiting i
minute or two, I took Jacqueline dowi
In another elevator, and we escape)
through the front entrance and juirtpe<
Into a taxicab.
I was satisfied that I had throwi
Leroux off the ?eent. but I took th
precaution to stop at a gunsmith'
shop and purchase a pair of automat!
pistols and a hundred cartridges.
But I was very uneasy until w
found ourselves In the train. At 1ns
everything was accomplished?our hat;
gage upon the spots beside us and oil
berths secured. And then, at the ver;
moment when the wheels began to rc
rolve, Leroux stepped down from i
neighboring train. As he passed ou
window he espied us.
lie started and glared, and then h
came racing back toward us, shnklni
his fists and yelling vile expletive?
He tried to swing himself aboard h
his fury, despite the fact that the door
were all shut. A porter pushed liir
hack, and the last I saw of him n
was still pursuing us, screaming wltl
j?ge.
1 knew that he would follow on th
gext train, reaching Quebec about flv
the following afternoon. That gave u
H*e hours' grace.

"Do you remember," I naked, "selling

"what Is the nature of your business

S parishioners."
"My conversation was not with yon.

'fy I had not gone three paces from the

Loans on Livfstoj * Advocated.
Dr. W. Kj .Lewis, director of the
bureau of animal industry under the
United States department of agriculture
In Columbia, has just returned
from a trip Mnto a number of the
coastal counties.
Dr. Lewis is vitally Interested in
arousing the poople of the state to
the menace of the boll weevil, which
is Invading the southwestren corner
of the 6tate. The invasion of this
peat will compel the farmers to turn
from the cultivation of cotton to livestock
raising, as the presence of the
weevil means that for many years,
once the pest has arrived, production
of cotton will be practlcaly impossi
ble. - .
Land values will commit the state
to two diBtinct efforts to meet the
emergency. Dr. Lewis says that ir
the lower half of the state the lande
are cheaper and the growing of live
stock for b^|| ? will be the natural
sequence of tiitions;

Heavenly Father.
JI'NIOR TOPIC?Jesus Teaches flow to
Pray.
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-Prayer a
Privilege and a Duty.
SENIOR AND ADTTLT TOPIC?The
Christian Conception of Prayer.
I. The Proper Motive in Prayer
(Matt. 0
The righteousness which counts with
God Is doing rijrlit deeds with the
right motive. Itightcous as the act
of praying is it may be un abomination
unto Cod:
1. If it he to he seen and heard of
men (v. f?). Much of the public praying
Is false?when there is more
thought of what the people think than
of what Cod thinks. In praying the
Individual Is dealing with Cod, therefore
if he he 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 lie seen
of men.
2. If there ho the use of vain repetitions
(v. "V >. *fhis does not mean that
we should ask nut once, for we have
examples of Christ and of Paul praying
three times for the same tiling
(Matt. 2."; :?M0; II Cor. 12:7-S), hut
meaningless repetitions as done by the
heathen. The reason assigned is that
,vuur rinniT unowetn wnat tilings ye
have need of before ye ask him" (v.
H). God Is pleased with true prayer
(v. 0). 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. 0:0-15)..
1. Right relationship. "Our Father.**
Only those who have become children
of God by faith in .Tosus Christ (Gal.
3:20) can pray aright.
2. Right attitude. "Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come." When
we realize that we hawe been delivered
from the power of darkness and translated
into the kingdom of his dear Son
(Col. 1 :13) by being made the children
of God we cannot help pouring
out our souls to hint in pratltude and n
praise, "longing for the coming of hlakingdom.
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"
nr. unforgiving spirit. (3) That of am*
holiness which moves us to pray not'
to he led in temptation, and longs to
be delivered from the evil one.
4. The ascription of praise. "Thine
Is the kingdom, the power, and the
glory forever."
III. Persistency In Prayer (Luke 18:
IS).
The teaching of this parable Is that
men ought always to pray and not to
faint (v. 1). The context shows that
j praying should be tLe business of the
I church while the Lord is absent. Havi
lug referred to the coning of the'Lord
I nt the close of the preceding chapter
he uses this parable to enforce the obligation
of the church under the figure
of a widow crying day and night
j unto Though the unjust judge
had neither four of God nor regard
I for innn ho avenged her of hef'enb1
! mios. Much inoro, tlion. will tho tetf!
dor loving Fat hor. God. avenge his own
oloot (v. 7). Clod Is pleased with those
who persistently pray. or. as popularly
expressed, "pray through."
IV. The Proper Attitude In Prayer
(Lnko IS :0-1-i).
This Is hroucht out In striking contrnst
hy two mon praying. Tho Pharisee's
sonso of solf practically excluded
tho consciousness of God. Tho poor
puldlcan had a most keen sense of
. God. and therefore sought his mercy.
The Pharisee presented personal credentials,
while tho publican cast himself
upon God's mercy. The publican
! was justified, while the Pharisee was
I rejected, l.et us come into the presI
once of God with humility, for God Is
i holy.

Easy to Commit Sin.
It Is u great deal easier to conmlt
a second sin than It whs to commit
the first, nnd n great <>cal harder to
repent of a second, than It was to repent
of the first.?Benjamin Whichcote.
