Vfs.3 Clear that the room and its con tents had been subjected to an almost microscopic examination. She called at the top of her voice wondering what had become of him. There was no Renly the Sil ence of the place was frightening. Very cautiously Audrey threw open the door of her bedroom. Here a similar scene of ruin con fronted her. Every article of clothing had been dragged from the closet. The drawers of her Chiff Onier her dressing table had been emptied on the floor the mattress and pillows. Of the bed had been torn open while the con tents of her trunk Lay every direction. Again Audrey called to Stetson at the same time opening the door of her tiny Kitchenette. A glance within explained the unfortunate Butler s silence. Feet and hands bound a wadded handkerchief wedged into his Mouth he sat in a chair surrounded by pots and pans unable to utter More than a few feeble groans. With a Quick cry Audrey sprang to his released him Bonds and when the old been revived by Means of a Glass of water in which a dash of Ai Omatie spirits of ammonia had been placed he was Able to gasp out ills Story. It did not take him Long to Tell it and when he had finished Audrey found that she knew Little More than she had known before. He had heard someone fumbling at the lock of the door and supposing it to be Audrey j returning to give him some final Sage had hurried to open it. Then a Man had appeared from the gloom seized him by the Throat choked him into unconsciousness. Vinether his assailant had been Young or old tall or Short fat or thin he was unable to say the Semi darkness of the room of the Hall outside the Swift nes and ferocity of the attack. Bad eliminated any possibility of identification. Audrey gazed thoughtfully Over the scene of destruction. The fact that nothing had been taken that the Silver mounted toilet articles on dressing table the few bits of jewel Lery in its drawers were still in Evi Dence about the bedroom floor indicated clearly enough that the place had been visited by no Ordinary thief. He was after the piece of Jade who Ever he she whispered. That s Clear enough. I wonder if it could by any Chance have been our Friend or. Rives. Could t say miss being shut up in the of course not. Did the Man who attacked you say not a word miss. Just took me by the Throat and that was the last i he might have watched of Audrey went on. Rather to herself than to Stetson and seen me go out. He would t have you were Here. There s no doubt he must have been after the i Hope he did t get it Stet son groaned. Instead of replying Audrey went into the bathroom and returned a moment later with a cake of tolls soap. A thin almost invisible line about it showed where the cake had been Cut in two and then stuck together again. Smil ing. Audrey broke the two halves apart extended one of them toward Stetson. In a circular space hollowed in the soap Lay the Jade medallion. I told you i had hidden it where Sherlock Holmes himself could t find she said. Joist the same i d give a great Deal to know whether it was or. Rives who came Here after the thing or someone she returned to the living room Flung herself into a chair. You d better run along now.

Whoever it was that came must have quite satisfied himself that the Jade was t Here so it in t Likely he will come again Torf Leht.

In failure she would merely be informed that miss Valen Tine was out. The clerk who had been in charge of the desk earlier in the Day had Given Way to an older Man. Who was Busy at the Telephone when Audrey came without paying any attention to him she went at once to the elevator in the manner of an expected caller and told the boy to take her to the fifth floor. A few moments later she was pressing the Bell of miss Valentine s apartment. The mulatto girl Cecilia who opened the door regarded her with coid suspicious eyes making no attempt to As simply and quickly As possible Audrey explained the object i want to make an impression in Wax of the lettering on the piece of she said and fifty dollars if you will allow me to do it. You see i want to have one made like the maid Shook her head.

There seemed no possible Way again later on. Could do now apartment at once. Arrive before or. Rives had called at All. Taxicab and take her to eleventh Street As Quick by As possible. The thought particularly Happy one. Tion of traffic on Broadway and later on fifth Avenue seemed unusually great and the ride downtown correspondingly Long. Past six when she finally reached her door. her astonishment it stood slightly ajar and none of the lights were on. She thought this strange As she stumbled across the and lit the lamp on the table. Ing sight greeted her. In a state of utter i drawers of the desk had been opened and their contents there. The shelves had been emptied and the books tossed about on the floor. Even the rugs Nad been dragged aside the curtains torn Down the pictures removed from the Walls. As for the upholstered seats of the chairs the Couch they did he Telephone. Stet Ressor Audrey began a Hasty search for i the jewel Case. N that it was in the bedroom she Felt in enc certain for it was from there that the i Sald and Joan said maid had brought it earlier in the Day. I Yea. i said just because a hurried inspection of the dressing a few friends get together for a Itutti table the Bureau drawers however Penny Ante game is no reason they an failed to reveal it yet Audrey argued and she said what 1 it was not Likely to be locked in n Polcer if it is not i said Wall Safe otherwise the maid could it is just an Friendly Pas not have produced it so promptly on the occasion of her first visit. A Small later on to repair Tho when Stetson had gone Audrey sat Down to do some serious thinking. And the longer she thought the More con Vinced she became that the person who had ransacked her apartment so thoroughly was or. who else indeed knew that she had the medal lion ill her Possession no one but Stetson and to suspect him. In Spita of or. Tresdale s insinuations was absurd. Of course there was or. Tres Dale himself but even had he Learned from Stetson during the letter s us Ness of the existence of the Bracelet he would have no Means of know inst that Audrey had bought one of the medallions. And Here her Circle of reasoning returned into itself unless Rives and or. Tresdale were together. From this Point Oil Audrey s thoughts became confused who. Alter All. Was or. Rives the responsible for her Grandfather s Mur Patent leather trunk at one Side of the room attracted her attention. Not Only thing like time and not a and Joan said then we Don t you play for matches or some was it unlocked but its lid stood open against the Wall. A glance with in. Disclosed the jewel Case lying in an upper tray. Hastily Audrey opened the Cass and taking out the brooch made an impression of the lettering upon it using a piece of Wax she had brought Lor the purpose. The entire operation required but a few moments. Then her task accomplished she wrapped the bit of Wax in her handkerchief and replaced it in her purse. All that remained to is done now was to free the mulatto girl convince her that the contents of the jewel Case remained intact hand her fifty dollars to soothe her ruffled feelings and leave the place. But when she called to the maid to come out no one responded. The room was empty. An open window at its further end showed plainly enough the Man Ner of the girl s flight. Outside it Rose the Iron railing of a fire escape the situation until now so satisfactory became at once filled with Quick Dang ers. If the girl had descended re entered Tho building on one of the floors below there was every reason to believe that she was even now Elvin the alarm. There might still be time Audrey thought to leave the apart ment by the front door make her was unobserved to the Street. The elevator was out of the question but there remained the staircase. Breathless with excitement she raced through the bed n 1i_i it takes a woman to think up ideas like that and if she is a Marrec woman she thinks them up oftener. I Bald if i went out to a game and won a Bunch of matches Anc room Tho Mata door Mam door. Gave you half of them when i Home would t you be and Joan did not say anything which was a sure sign there was t anything to be said and i said you play for prizes at Bridge games Don t and Joan said that is when women say that is different it is an argument. I said Well i am going to ask the boys Over for saturday and Joan said i suppose i will have to feed the and i said of nothing much. Just a few kinds of sandwiches and some salad and Coffee and cake and maybe some ice reached it How Ever a loud Tattoo sounded upon its mahogany panels accompanied by the voices of persons outside calling 011 her to open at once. Audrey paused in her attempted flight. She trapped. One Way of egress however still re fire escape. If the maid had no nag to descent it could not she the bathroom window. Just As she came abreast of it and glanced out something Rose in the darkness that filled her with even greater terror. A Man was mounting the Steps of the fire Escane.

We will need a Little something to and Joan said you will have and i Saidi mean to escape his head and shoulders already on a level Light Audrey catching his.

In boiling soapsuds once a month. Soda added to the water will Josea the ily Counse scr. Or. Codman docs not to answer nil questions but selects especially Elioso inquiries which appear to be of trends of thought la Tho Many it Tom receives. Is there not a Market difference Between the god of the Ola testament and the god of the new where floes the Harmony Between these two conceptions of deity come in. If at All Many forget the All important fact that the old testament covers fifteen centuries of history whereas the new testament recites events which occurred within a single Century. Natur ally during so prolonged a period Man s knowledge of god and of the spiritual realities he has. Ordained was progressive. Recalling this truth we Are amazed to Mark the process by which the tribal deity of the earlier semites became the moral Sovereign of the uni verse portrayed by the great prophets of Israel. Christians maintain that the teach no of those prophets was sanctioned and surpassed by the message of Christ. In addition As nearly Twenty seven centuries have elapsed since the act of Israel s seers wrote or spoke Here have been extensive changes in Luman life and experience. The wider knowledge of religious history with its Hon tit Hump of the nose is below Center it is a sign of Plain implications that god and Man have forever been seeking each other and. The achievements of modern science which have created for us a vaster and a More wonderful than the ancients dreamed have also had their respective influence upon Man s conceptions of the supreme be ing. He does not change and prophets and apostles Are a unit in ascribing to him immutable righteousness Wisdom love and Power. Man can know Goc not Only in his Bon but in his activities in nature and in human life science rightly understood is the interpretation of his creative methods religion is the revelation of his heart if a girl Lias fallen from Trace it some previous time in her life but Lias since walked the straight mid narrow path of a ill Tenns life should she confess incr sin to Tho Man she is to marry or if the matter in brought to a direct ques Tion should she lie on. The Assumption that god alone will be her to flee i Athir than face the possibility at afterwards being taunted with her sin a woman is treading upon very thin ice when she ventures upon so inti mate a relationship As marriage with a dreaded memory such wrong doing lurking in her soul. Besides according to common experience it la Seldom possible to conceal successfully one s life before marriage from either the husband or wife. Where it can be done the Cost of doing. It is quite heavy. The constant fear that one s guilty secret May be bared is a painful ind Rance to personal and conjugal peace. The needless suspicions and the harassing self accusations of a hidden iniquity Are its own penalties and they of ten. Ore More painful than any which its open confession exacts. Certainly it is not advisable for you to embark on Matrimony s surging seas in a Leaky boat liable to capsize at any moment. But 11 you Are bound to marry thresh this matter out with your Lover before allowing him to go further in the courtship. Don t degrade yourself and the vows you then make by acting deceitfully or becoming a living lie. Such a course would Only add fuel to the flame of your remorse. So Long As. You Are single you Are free and stand on equal terms with the Man you love. He too May need thei forgiveness from you which you would Els. At him. Which Caw Bott of you should begin life anew by soliciting heaven s mercy and proving yourself worthy of it.
