the more I asked myself this questiot

I had never doubted his love for me
but ,I had always stood in great awe o
his reproof, and I did not know when
I was to find courage to tell him all th<
details of this adventure.
There Is one thing I did do, however
I made certain inquiries here . an
there, and sooi satisfied myself as t
how Scovigp had been able to com
into town, commit this horrid deed an
escape without any one but myself be
ing the wiser. Spencer and he hai
come from the West en route to New
York without any intention of stolp
ping off in Shelby. But once involve(
in play they had got so interestet
that when within a. few miles of th
town, Spencer proposed that the3
should leave the train and finish the
game in his own house. Whether cir
cumstances aided them, or Spencel
took some extraordinary precautioni
against being recognized, will neve1
be known. But "certain it is that he
escaped all observation at the statior
and- even upont the road. When Sco
ville returned alone, the storm haL
rna~ched such a height that the roadt
were deserted, and he, being an entirE
stranger here at that time, naturallj
attracted no attention, and so was abl<
fo sllp awvay on the~ next train tvith
just the drawback of buying a new~
ticket. I, a boy of fifteent, trespassing
where I did not belot,. was the only
living witness of what had hiappened
on this night of dreadful storm, in thc
house which was now a ruin.
Ir realized the unpleasantness of the
position in which this put me, bul
not its responsibility. If I were going
to do anything I should have done it al
first-so I reasoned, and let the mat.

school and study, and the years passed
and I had almost forgotten the oc
(.'wrence, when suddenly the full re.
membrance canme back upon me with a
rush. A aaan-my father's .friend
was found murdered in sight of this
spot of old-time horror, and Scoville
was accused of the act.
I was older now andi saw my fault

heat of piy sorrowv and despair. I may
even have said so-in dreams or in

Though I certainly had not lifted the
stick against Mr. Etheridge, I had left
thte hand free which did, and this was
a sufficient occasion for remorse-ol

I felt that if he had such doubts, they
might be eased' by this certainty of
Scoville's murderous tendencies and
unquestionable greed.
And they were; but as Scoville was
already doomed, we decided that it
was unnecessary to make public his
past offenses. However, with an eye

CHAPTER XIV.
The Telegram.
This was the document and these
the words which Deborah, widow of
the man thus doubly denounced, had
been given to read by the father of
the writer, in the darkened room which
had been and still was to her, an abode
of brooding thought and unfathomable
mystery.
No wonder that during its reading
more than one exclamation of terror
and dismay escaped her. There were
so many reasons for believing this
record to be an absolute relation of
the truth.
Incoherent phrases which had fallen
from those long-closed lips took on
new meaning with this unveiling of
an unknown past. ,Repugnances for
which she could not account in those
old days. she now saw xplained. He
would never, even In passing, give a
look at the ruin on the bluff, so attrac
tive to every eye but his own As for
entering its gates-she had never
dared so much as to ask him to do so
Then the watch! Deborah knew wel:
that watch. She had often asked him
by' what stroke of luck he had got so
fine a timepiece. God! was her mind
veering back to.her old idea as to him

mitted in Dark Hollow? Yes; she could
s not help it. Denial from a monstel

co'nfused story of a great stroke in
specplation which had brought him
I in the price of the tavern it had long
been his ambition to own-what was
dental from such lips worth? The
'judge was right. Oliver-whose in
genuous story had restored his imago
to her mind, with some of its old
graces-had been the victim of circum
stances and not John Scoville
I her thoughts had reached this stage
and her hand. in obedience to the new
mood, was lightly ruffling up the pages
before her, when she felt a light touch
on her shoulder and turrned with a
start.
The judlge was at her back. How
long he had stood there she did not
know, nor did he say, but when upon
feeling his hand upon her shoulder she
turned, he was there; and while his
lips failed to speak, his eyes were elo
quent and their question single and Ima
perative
"What (10 you think of him now?"
they seemed to ask, and rising to her
feet. she met him with a smile, ghastly
perhaps with the lividness of the
shadows through which she had been
gropilng, but encouraging withal and
soothing beyond measure to his anx
ious and hanrassed soul.
-"Oliver is innocent," she declared,
turning once more to lay her hand
upon the sheets containing his naive
confession. "The dastard who could
shoot his host for plunder is caplable of
a second crime holding out a similar
inducement. Nothing now will ever
make me connect Oliver wvith the
crime at the bridge. As you said, he
was simply near enough the hollow to
toss into it the stick he had been
whittling I am his advocate from this
milnute."
HeIr eyes v'ere still resting mechan.

out before her, and -she (lid not ob

With a dark glance, not directed
against her, however, the judge bade
her run away to the kitchen and as far
from all these troubles as she could,
then, locking his door behind him, as
he always did, he strode towards the
front.
He found Deborah standing guard
over an ilI-conditioned fellow, whose
slouching figuf'e slouched still more
under his' eye, but gave no other ac.
knowledgment of his presence. Pass.
ing him without a second look, Judge
Qstrander found Mr. Black awaiting
him.
There was no bad blood between
thesektwo, whatever their past rela
tions or present suspicions, and they
were soon shaking hands. with every
appearance of mutual cordiality.
The judge was especially courteous.
"I am glad," said he, "of any occa
slob which brings you again under my
roof, though from -the appearance of
your companion I judge the present
one to be of no very agreeable charao
ter."
"Judge, I'm your friend;" thus Mr.
Black began. "Thinking you must wish
to know who started the riotous pro
cedure which disgraced our town to
day. I have brought the ringleader
here to answer for himself-that is, if
you wish to question him."
Judge Ostrander wheeled about,
gave the man a searching look, and
failing to recognize him as any one
he had ever seen before, beckoned him
in.
"I suppose," said he, when the loung

It's just my turn; that's all."
"Your turn! Your turn! And what
do you think has given you an oppor

LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 6
BOLDNESS OF PETER AND JOHN.
LESSON TEXT-Acts 4:1-81.
GOLDE1N TEXT-Watch ye. stand fast
in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong.
I Cor. 36:13. .
The first seven chapters of the book
of Acts have been designated as the
Jerusalem period. Chaper 1 deals
with the ascension of our Lord; chap
ter 2, the baptism of the Holy Spirit;
chapters 3-', the early conflicts in
Jerusalem. In our lesson of last Sun
day we had the story of Peter and
John dealing with the lame man while
on their way to thre temple. Follow
ing this experience they were im
prisoned, the first imprisonmignt men
tioned for any or chose who accepted
the Gospel. As the disciples were
dealing with the multitude the rulers
of the temple came upon them and
wore mucn put out (v. 2) that the dis
ciples should preach tne resurrection
of Jesus from the dead. The signiil
cance of this 13 bettet understood
when we remember that the Jewish
Sanhedrin was the groat court of Jew
ish iaw composed o1 seventy-one lead
ing men or the nation. Calaphas, the
noble high priest by* Roman appoint
ment, and Antpas, the reat high priest
according to Jewish law, were both
there. This body was largely made
up of the Sadducees, the sect which
did not believe in the resurrection
from the dead.
1. 'he imprIsonment, . 1-4. Pe.
ter and John ieing brought before this
tribunal were tulfliling literally the
prediction of Jesus (Matt. 10'17). The
attempt on the part of the rulers to
prevent the preaching of the Gospel
by this method really augmented its
being heard throughout the nation.
Peter nad seen this body of men on
the night when our Lord was con
demned.
II. The Trial, vv. 5-22. (1) Peter's
words vv. 6-12. Jewish wonder-work
ers were accustomed to perform mar.
vels by the use ot some name, so the
council very naturally asked Peter
and John "In what name" they had
healed this man. The real object of
their question was their attempt to en
trap the disciples and find a basis of
accusation and condemnation. But at
that moment the Holy Spirit came
again upon Peter and filled him (Matt.
10.19, 20; also Luke 12:11, 12; Acts
13-8, 9). The coming of the Holy
Spirit is for every emergency of the
Chri''..an Peter had been-filled with
that Spirit at Pentecost and was again
filled a little later on (chapter 2:31).
Thus we see that the coming of the
Spir-li is not once for all, though Pen
tecost was once for all, but that the
dlling is repeated as each now emer
genc) may arise, (a) Peter acknowvl
edged thre author-ity of those whno were
dealimg with him (v. 8), but ( b) ihe
gave Jesus credit (v. 10). it was Je
sus who had died, .he was also riscen,
and the risenr Chrmist had elected this
miracle. (c.) TJurnilng upon his ac
accusers Peter charged them with tile
denthi or .Jesus. I-e (v. 11) is tihe
rounanztionr of their miracle anid their
iti Peter- claimead that in Jesus
alone (v 12) couldi salvation be found,
anid implied (see last clause of tis
verre) that his accusers wore lost
men. Peter a deportmrent fin all o1
tnis ls wonderfully skillfui, gentle 0and
courteous, yet bold, fearless, fr-ank
and outsp)oken. We need to remiem
ber tnIs when we recall how blunrder'
ingly Peter had conducted ihis comnver
sation before his eniduemenit by the
H-oly Spirit Trhere was n'0 comrpro
mising of the truth and no glossing
over their guilt
Ill The Result Upon the DiscIples,
vv. 19-22. T[he book of Acts is Plain
ly the record of tire deft utterances. of
spiritual men. Peter had closed hris
appeal (v. 12) wIth tihe statement
that the only way we could be saved
must be through this means. Thie

waunzted to punish Peter anrd John, but
could not, for- the people0 were glori

lessly that tire teachings of the
schrools was not in accordance with
that, for had dot J)esus rIsen, and had
'not this miracle been performed? The
Holy Ghost's boldness mn these untu
tored mcen has always been a perplex
ity to the scholastics of thne world.
Their boldness was due to a sense of
God's nearness anid carried with it a
like sense of their responsibility to
him (see vv. 19, 20),
The only solution. on the part of the
people and of tihe pri-ests, was' they

TIhe Sanhedrin asked, "What shall

A better question would have been,
"What shall we do to be saved?'
IV. The Early Church, vv. 23-27. Six
points about that church: (t) It was
a praying church (vv. 2-i-30); (2) Ii
was a Spirit-filled church (v. 31); (3)
It was a united churchn (v. 32); (1)
it was a witnessing church (v. 33);
(b) It was a ministering church
(vy,. 34, 35); (6) It was a multiplying
