MY 8I8TER, MISS 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 atjlmal'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 llnd a murdered man.In
his rooms and Jacqueline dazed,
9 with, her memory gone. He gets
rid of the body, decides to take
Jacauellne to Quebec In the Renrcli
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
Iohe, she had gone to a side entrance
nd I had Joined her there and left
the hotel with her in that fashion.
I gathered from what he had said
that the possession of Jacqueline was
ltally Important both to Leroux and
to Tom Corson 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
Blmon at me.
"Leroux," I said, *Tm not going to
tqll you anything. You will remember
that I was employed by Mr. Carson."
"By ?I" 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
nd wait, unless you want to spoil the
game by letting her see you," I said.
"I don't know whether Tom's running
straight or not," he said huskUy;
"hut let me tell you, young man, it'll
pay you to keep In. with me, and If
. . . ydu'vegot any price name It!"
He shook his heavy fist over me?I
V - ? : v... helleve the clerks thought he was goteg
to strike uie, for they came hurvytag
toward, us. But I saw Jacqueapproaching,
and, without another
I thought I saw a shadow of fear In
Z . {hem. Then the memory was effaced
y"vl'/Vtead she was Mulling again.
^ ^ Instructed the store to call a mes*
senget and hare the suitcase taken at
" oOce to the baggage room in the Grand
r Central station. .
x "Now Jacqueline, I'm going to take
jon to luncn," l said. "And afterward
we will start for home."
Outside the store I looked carefully
round and espied Leroux almost Immediately,
lighting a cigar In the doorway
of a shop. I hit upon a rather
daring plan to escape him.
^Carson's offices were in a large mod?ni
building, with many elevators and
entrances. I wulked toward It with
Jacqueline, being satisfied that Leroux
was following us; entered about
twenty-five yards before him, and
ascended to the elevator, getting off,
lo.wever, on the floor above that on
which the office? were.
. I was satisfied that Leroux would
' follow , me a minute later, under the
Impression, that we had gone to Carton's
office, and so, after waiting a
minute or two, I took Jacqueline down
hi another elevator, and we escaped
through the front entrance and Jumped
Into a taxlcab.
I was satisfied that I had thrown
Leroux off the' scent, but I took tjie
precaution to stop at a gunsmith's
nop ana purcnnse a pair 01 automatic
pistols and a hundred cartridges.
But I was very uneasy until we
found ourselve# In the train. At last
everything was accomplished?our baggage
upon the soots beside us and our
berths secured. And then, at the very
moment when the wheels began to revolve,
Leroux stepped down from n
neighboring train. As he, passed our
window he espied us.
He started and glared, and then he
ewuie racing back toward us. shaking
his fists and yeMIng vile expletk cs.
He tried to swing himself aboard In
his fury, despite the fact that the doors
were all shut. A porter pushed hln
hack, and the last I saw of him ne
' was still pursuing us. screaming with
*?ge.
1 knew that ho would follow on the
m<cxt train, reaching Quebec about five
the following afternoon. That gave us
* i*e hours' grace.
I turned toward Jocqtiellne, fearful
that she had recognized the man and
realized the situation. But she was
smiling happily at my side, and I was
confident then/that, by virtue of that
vme mental inhibition, she had neither
seen nor heard the fellow.
New York was slipping awny. All
my old life was (dipping away like
this?and evil following n?. I slipped
one of the automatics out of my sultmse
into my pocket and iwore that I

I opened one of the newspapers
that I had bought at the stntlon bookstand,
dreading to find In flaring letters

of the body.
I found the announcement?hut In

f the dead man, taken In the alley,
where. It appeared, the reporter had
viewed tbe body before It had been
removed. The photograph looked horribly
lifelike. 1 cut It out and placed
It In my pocketbook.
I turned toward Jacqueline. She
was asleep at my side and her head
dropped on iny shoulder. We sat thus
nil the afternoon, while the city disappeared
behind us, and we passed
through Connecticut and approached
the Vermont hills.
Then we had'a gay little supper In
the dining car. Afterward I walked
to the car entrance and flung the broken
dog collar away?across the fields.
That wns the last link that bound us
to the past

M. Le Cure.
The very obvious decision at which
I arrived nfter a night of cogitutlon
In my berth was that Jacqueline was
to pass as my sister. I explained my
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 you to embarrassment?
so I shall call you my sister. Miss
Hewlett and yop will call me your
brother Paul." And I handed her my
visiting card, because she hud never
heard my surname before!
"I shall be glad to think of you as
ray brother Paul," she answered, looking
at the carta. She held It- In hy...

middle of the meal that the left hand
camp into view.
Then I discovered that she had
taken off her wedding ring.
At Inst the St. Lawrence appeared,
covered with djfftlng floes; the Isle of
Orleans, with the Falls of Montmorency
behind It-j the nscending heights
which slope up to the Chateau Fr?mtenac,
t^ie fort-crowned citadel, the
long pnrapet bristling with guns.
Then, after the ferry had transferred
us from 'Levis, we stood In
Lower Quebec.
We' had hardly gone on hoard the
ferry boat when un incident occurred
thnt greatly disturbed me. A slightly
built, well-dressed man. with n small,
upturned mustache and a face of
notable pallor. pnssetf and repassed us
i several times, staring and smiling with
cool effrontery lpt both of us.
I was a good deal troubled by this
nui ueiure i mm iieciuea to uuuress me
fellow we landed, and n sleigh .*wopt
us up the hill toward the chateau to
the ftnie of Jingling bells. "This is
Quebec, Jacqueline," I said.
I thought that she remembered unwillingly
but she said nothing.
We secured adjacent rooms ?rt the
Chateau, and lenvlng Jacqueline to
unpack her things, and under instructions
not to leave her room, and promising
to return us soon as possible, I
started put at once to And Maclay A

This proved a task of no gieut dlfllculty.

A -sudden stoppage In*his flow of
words, an utmost guilty look upon his
face, as a new figure entered the little
shop, directed my attention toward the
stranger. * *
He wns an old man of medium sine,
very muscularly built, stout, and with
enormous shoulders. He wore, a
priest's soutane, but he did not look like
a priest?he looked like a man's head
on a bull's lxidy. His smooth face was
tanned to the* color of an Indian's?
his bright blue eyes, almost concealed
by their drooping, wrinkled lids, wen

"Bo'Jour, Pere Antolne," said th#
shopkeeper deferentially, fixing bis
eyes rather timidly upon the old
priest's face.
"Eh bie|, who Is this with wboa
thou gossipest concerning the daugh-,
ter of M. Duchalne?" Inquired Father
Antolne, looking at me keenly.

"My conversation was not with you,
Monsieur le Cure," I answered shortly
and left the shop.
I had not gone three paces from the
door, however, when the priest, coming
up behind me,'placed a huge hand
upon my shoulder and swung- roe
round without the least apparetat effort.
"I do not know what your business
Is, monsieur," he said, "but if it were
an honest one you would state it to
me. If you wish to see M. Duchalne
I am best qualified to assist you to do
so, since I visit his chateau twice each
year to carry the consolations of religion
to hint and his Ve?P'e. But If
your business is not honest It will fail.
End it, then, and return to your own
country."
"I do not Intend to discuss my business
with you, monsieur," I answered
angrily.

The Proper Motive In Prayer
ntt. 6:5-8).
The righteousness which counts with
rl Is doing right deeds with the
ht motive. Righteous as the act
praying Is It may be an abominai
unto God: .
. If It be to be seen and heard of
n (v. 5). Much of the public prnyIs
false?when there Is more
nght of what the people think than
what God thinks. In praying the

!. If there be the use of vnln repeons
(v. ?). *Thls does not inenn that
should ask nut once, for we have
imples of Christ and of Pnul proy;
three times for the same thing
[ntt. 25; 3iM6; II Cor. 12:7-8), hut
nningless repetitions as done by the
ithen. The reason assigned is that

God Is pleased with true prayer
uj. we should have a real desire
fellowship with God. Since prayer
n transaction of the soul with God,
should go to our inner chamber,
lere only God can hear, and there
nmune with him.
II. The Model Prayer (Matt, fi :M5).
I. Right relationship. "Our Father.**
ly those who have bpcome children
God by faith in'Jesus Christ (Gal.
2G) can prny aright.
I. Right attitude. "Hollowed be thy

5. Right spirit (1) Thai of trust ^ '

) That of love which results in the
rglveness of others, God ,wlll not

unforgiving spirit. (3) That of
llness which moves us to pray not
he led in temptation, and longs to
delivered from the evil one.
4. The ascription of praise. "Thine
the kingdom, the power, and the
>ry forever."
III. Persistency In Prayer (Luke 18:
1).
The teaching of this parable Is thnt
mi ought always to pray and not to
Int (v. 1). The context shows thnt
ayltig should he the business of the
urch while the Lord Is absent. Hav?
referred to the coming of the Lord
the close of the preceding chapter
uses this parable to enforce the obatlon
Of the church under the flg- ?
e of a widow crying day and night
to God. Though the unjust Judge
d neither fear of God nor
p man ho avenged her 6f- her enees.
Much more, thtTf; sflll the tenr
loving Father. Clod, avengejds own
?ct (v. 7). God Is pleased with those
10 persistently pray.'or, ns popularly
pressed, "pray through."
IV. The Proper Attitude In Prayer
,nke 18:0-14).
This Is brought ont In striking eontst
by two men praying. The Phnrle's
sense of self practically excluded
e consciousness of God. The poor
ibllean had n most keen sense of
?d, and therefore sought his mercy,
le Pharisee presented personal crentlnls,
while the publican cast hlm!f
upon God's mercy. The publican
is justified, while the Pharisee woa
Jected. Let us come into the presce
of God with humility, for God Is
ily.
