Tha Meeting with Mary Magdalene, the Miracle of the Loaves and Fish, And Jesus Walking on the Water. Described in Fifth Chapter.

Chapter The Fifth One *>l tin Pharisees begged Our Saviour to go into ills house, and tat with him And while Our Saviour sat eating at the table, there crept into the room a woman of that city who had led a bad and - ntul life, aud was ashamed that th* Son ot God should .’tc her. and yet she trusted so much to His guodn* »s and His coinpa»**iou tor all who. having done wrung ware truly worry tor It in their hearts, that, by little and irttle. rhe went behind the *-ut on which He had sat, and dropped at His bat, aud wetted them with her svrrowful tears; then she kissed them, and dried them on her long hair, and rubbed them with sum.- sweetsmelling ointment she had brought with her m a box. Hdr name was Mary Magdalene. Win'll th*- Pharisee saw hat Jesus permitted this woman to touch Hun. lie -aid within hlm-elt that Jesus did not know how wicked she had been. But Jc»us Christ, whe knew His thoughts, said to him, "Simon for that wa* his name—

"if a nun bad debtoif. one of whom owed him five bundled pence, and one of whom ow« <l him only fifty l>< io <*. and he forgave them, both | then debt, which of 'hone I wo debtors do you think would love him moslT ' Siill.Hi atlsWjied, "i suppose that one whom he forgave most." Jesus told him he was right, and said. "A God forgives thia woman so much sin. she will love Him. I hope, the more." And lie said to her. “God forgiven you!" Iho company who were present wondered that JesUi Christ had power to forgive sins, but God iiad given it to Him And the woman, thanking Him for all ills mercy, went away. We learn from this that we must always forgive those who hate done us any harm, when they come to us and say they are truly sorry for It. Even if they do not come and say so, we must still forgive them, and never hate them or be unkind to them, if we would hope that God will forgive us. After this, ths re was a great feast of the Jews, and Jesus Christ went to Jerusalem. There was. near the sheep market in lhai place, a pool, or pond, called Bethesda, having five gates to it; and ut th*- time of the year when that feast took place great numbers of al'k People and cripples went to this pool to bathe in It: believing that an Angel came and stirred the water, and that who ever went in first after the Angel had done so. was cured of any illness he or she had. whatever It might be. Among those poor persons was out- man who had been ill thirty-eight years; and he told Jesus Christ (who took pity on him when He saw him lying on his bed alouo. with no ope to help him> that be neve: could be dipped in the pool, bocuu.c be vg| aq and til that be could not move to get there. Our Saviour aad to bun.

Take up thy ned end go away.” ■ And he went away, quite well. Many Jews saw this; and when • they saw it. they hated Josus Christ i the more; knowing that tbo people. I being taught and cured by Him, I would uot believe their priests, who l told the people what was aot true. I and deceived them. 8o they said to i one another that Jesus Christ - should be killed, because He cured i people on the Sabbath Day (which , was against their strict law) and l because He called Himself the Sou I of God. Aud they tried to raise eneI tnlM against Him. and to get the I crowd In the streets to murder Him. I But the crowd followed Him I wherever He went, blessing Him. . and praying to be tiught and curi cd; for they knew He did nothing ( but good. Jesus, going with His, Disciples over a >ua. called the Sea . of Tiberias, aud slttiug with them J ( on a hlll-s’dc. saw great numbers ( of these poor people waiting below. I aud said to the Apostle Philip. ) , "Where shall we buy bread, that they may eat aud be refreshed, al- * ter their long journey?" Philip aus-

wered. "Lord, two hundred pennyworth of bread would uol be enough for so many people, and we j have none." "We have only,"’ said another Apostle — Andrew. Simon Peter's brother — “five imall barley loaves, and two little fish, belonging to a lad who is among us. What are they, among so many!" Jesus Christ said. "Let them all sit down!" They did, there being a great deal of gruss in that place. Wheu they were all seated. Jesus took the bread, and looked -UP to Heaven, and blessed it. and broke it, and handed it in pieces to the Apostles, who handed it to the people. And of those five little loaves and two fish, five thousand men. besides women, and children, ate. and had enough; and when they were all sat'sfled, there were gathered up twelve baskets full of what was left. This was another of the .Miracles of Jesus Christ. Our Saviour -then sent His Disciples away iu a boat, across the water, and said He would follow them presently, when He had dismissed the people. The people being gone. He remained by himself to prey; so that the night came on, ahd the Disciples were still rowing on the water in their boat, wondering when Christ would come, favte in the night, wheu the wind was against them and the waves were running high, they saw Him coming. walking towards them on the water, as it it were dry laud. When they mw this, they were terrified, and cried out- but Jesus Mid. "It Is I, be not afraid!” Peter taking courage, said. "Lord, if It be Thou, tell me to come to Thee upon the water.” Jesus Christ said, "Come!” Peter then walked towards Him, but seeing the angry waves, and hearing tbe wind roar, be was WWH 40 **•<» would bav« done so. hut that Jmus took bun by the hand, and led him

into the boat. Then, in a moment, the wind went down; and the Discipieu said to one another. "It Is true! He is the Son of God!” . Jesus did many more Miracles a*ter this happened and e-ired the •lek in great numbers, making the lame walk, and the dumb speak, and the blind see. And being again surrounded by a great crowd who ‘ were faint and hungry, and had ] been with Him for three days, eating little. He look from His Disciples seven loaves and a few Bsh. and again divided them among the people, who were four thousand iu number They all ate, and hud enough; and ol what was left there were gathered up seven basket* full

He Dow divi<|t«d the Disciples, and sent them into many towus and villages, leaching the people, and giving them power to cure, in the name ot God. all those who were 111. Aud at this time He began to tell thorn (for He knew what would happen) that Hu must one day go back to Jerusalem where He would suffer a gnat deal, and whir* He would certainly be put to death But He sgid <o them that on the third day after He was dead.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Katherine McAllister was shown into the caninely clamorous cubbyhole. ‘‘Darling, you look radiant, as usual,” beamed the Duchess kissing her visitor. “Sit down here,” urged the hostess as her pets were forced to vacate a chair. “That’s a sweet hat you’re wearing, Katherine,” nodded Veronica Stream approvingly. “Which reminds me, have you heard that poor George Essex has lost all his money in that dreadful woman's hat shop?” “Yes, I had heard,” nodded Lady McAllister. “But tell me about yourself, Veronica. I haven’t seen you for months. Not since your last visit to Paris." “Oh. Paris!” echoed the Duchess. “Os course, 1 went over to slay with my beloved Gaston and that appalling wife of his. How he could have been so silly as to marry her I can't imagine! Always full of yin and spiritualism.” “I ran into a young friend of yours the other day from Paris,” put in Lady McAllister. “Who was that?” “Norma Hailey. Rhe told me you had got her a job with George Lanchester.” The Duchess of Stream appeared to think very deeply, once more dosing both eyes tight, and putting a thumb and forefinger into their comers. "Norma Hailey.” she repeated rather blankly... then, opening her eye? wide, “Good heavens, yes? Tell me. how is the child?” “Very well,” Lady McAllister Informed her. “She appreciates your getting her so nice a job.” The Duchess beamed. ”1 knew she’d do for George.” “She was stranded or something in Paris, wasn’t she?” suggested Lady McAllister. "Was she?” asked the Duehess vaguely. “Oh, yes, of course. Now, what was it! Oh, how silly I am! 1 remember now. 800 Hailey died. That was it.” “Boo?” queried Lady McAllister. “Gerald Hailey, the soldier," nodded the little duchess. “Some kind of a general. One of the little ones, 1 think. Anyway it doesn’t matter, does it?" “You were saying, Veronica dear, that he died. What had that to do with Norma's going to George Lanchester?” “That was why," exclaimed the Duchess wide-eyed as though she had explained everything. Then she added, "Norma was Boo's girl.” She broke off suddenly and into her eyes came one of those rare expressions of shrewdness. “Why are you so interested in Norma?” she asked quickly. In a moment Lady McAllister knew the other had got in under her guard, so she abandoned her fencing tactics and laughed.'Touebd," sho admitted. "You know, Veronica, you must find your pose of being a fool awfully useful at times." The little Duchess nodded. "Awfully," she acknowledged. “Now, what is it, Katherine?" “A friend of mine, John Meredith ..." “is that Rupert's boy?” “it is. Bat he’s hardly a boy now, you know, Veronica. He must be forty, at least At ail events he wants to know all there is to know about the Hailey child and he doesn't ask out of vulgar curiosity.” The Ducheaa appeared to think

deeply for a moment but this time she did not resort to that trick of closing her eyes. Then she said, “I don’t really know a great deal about the child. 1 know her father I very well. They’re a queer family the Haileys. ... No more queer than a great many others, I suppose, but Gerald Hailey was lucky in away." “In what way?" “He narrowly escaped being howler-hatted; that is, cashiered from the Army. It might have been worse than just the bowler-hat, too. He had most men’s weakness rather pronounced.” “Women?” suggested Lady McAllister. "Homes,” said the Duchess of Stream with considerable emphasis. “It was his colonel’s wife,” ahe went on in a more conversational . tone. “Os course, 800 was asking for trouble. He got it I remember 1 when Hugh was alive he told me all about it. And Nor-na’a mother was a bit of a fool, too." "But how did Norma become stranded in Paris?" asked Lady I McAllister. “To tel! you the truth, Kath- | erine,” replied the ducheas, “I don’t know all the details but I gather that she was at some art school there when 800 died and left her without a penny. The child was desperate and happened to run into me at some reception or other and, as she was looking a bit peaked, I asked her about herself. Then it all came out in a rush. Naturally, I did something about it." “Naturally," smiled Lady McAllister. Veronica Stream made a gesture of dissent. “Ob, I know you think I’m a sentimental old fool but the child was really up against it, and I did what I could. I was fortunate enough to find her that position with George Lanchester. Such a vivid little personality I” ahe added. “Who?” frowned Lady McAllister. "Why, Norma.” “Vivid?” “Yes, vivid. Fascinating creature with that silver-blond hair of hers." "I wonder if we're talking about the same person?" said Lady McAllister. The Duchess looked at her very straightiy. “What is this mystery, Katherine?" she asked. Lady McAllister shrugged slightly. “Only that John Meredith described her quite differently to me." “He must be partly blind then,” nodded the Duchess. “I should have said Norma would attract any man’s eye." The two ladies then fell to discussing other matters. ... It was not until early in the evening that Meredith had the telephoned report which Lady McAllister had promised. “And you say she was a blond?” he said into the mouthpiece of the telephone. “A silver blond," stressed Lady McAllister’s voice over the wire. When at last Sir John laid down the telephone, his wife from her chair saw the familiar little smile as he said, "So she was a blond—a silver blond!” • o o e Throughout the tortuous affair of the Sulungu necklace, Meredith was hampered because he could not concentrate all his attention upon it, in that he was worrying at the same time over the difficult problem of Ambrose Pennyfeather’s murder. It was the morning after bo had had that telephone conversation with Sir Sector McAllister’s wife
