THE MAN HIGHER UP

By HENRY RUSSELL MILLER

CHAPTER XXIL sagger's card. THE big anteroom of the Republican headquarters was filled by an excited, noisy crowd—it was the afternoon before election day. No one seemed able to stand in one spot for two consecutive minutes; no one thought of sitting. “Sure to win; it’s a cinch.” “Ten to three McAdoo wins is best odds." “They say Harland’s thrown up the sponge.” “Old man’s sick. I hear.” “Twentieth ’ll go for Harland. though.” “Sick nothin’! Couldn’t kill McAdoo with dynamite." “The Fourth’ll make the Twentieth look like thirty cents when the majorities come in.” “Tom Haggin told me so himself.” “Five to ten he wins by more than 10,000." Late in the afternoon a bomb was exploded in the midst of the crowd. A man, breathless and red faced, burst into the room. He 1 rushed to ttye group nearest the door. “Remington’s thrown McAdoo down!” he shouted hoarsely. “Aw, go on!” was the derisive answer. “I tell you”— x “Chronicle! Extry! Great s’nsashun! All ’bout Remington's exposher!” A strident voiced newsboy ran into the room, waving a paper around his head. Great red letters flared on the sheet. There was an instant scramble to reach him, men shoving one another and snatching the papers that others paid for. The news once read, papers fell from nerveless hands. Men stared at one another with seared, uncomprehending eyes. An overwhelming personal calamity seemed to have fallen on every one. The silence was broken by a faltering cry. “It’s—it’s a dashed lie!" The speaker was a young man—new to politics—who had met Bob during the campaign and had become one of the big man’s most ardent followers. He was an earnest young man who cherished high ideals of civic duty and purity. “1 won’t believe it," he repeated, raising his voice appealingly. “It’s all a lie!” Just then Haggin came through one of the rear doors, coatless, hat shoved back, a cold cigar sticking at an aggressive angle from his mouth. “What’s the matter with you guys?” he demanded sharply. “That’s the noisest silence I ever heard.” One of them handed to him a paper. He read slowly.

“My God!” he gasped, stunned as were the others. “I dunno what to do. He’s a sick man—doctor said typhoid—got out o’ bed to come downtown—he’s cornin' here now—don’t let him know, an’ ” His voice rose in a hoarse bellow. “Curse Remington for a dirty traitor!” A man near the door swore sickeningly. “He’s coming!” The murmur ceased instantly. A carriage drew up before the ram shackle building. Out of it stepped Bob McAdoo—the man who never be*' fore had needed a vehicle for his com ings and goings. He was a very sick man; every one saw that. As he passed from the carriage, fretfully waving aside the driver, who had sprung down to assist him. he almost tottered. The hand that reached for the doorknob trembled visibly. He opened the door and passed slow* ly along the narrow aisle, nodding mechanically. Then the strange silence struck in on him. He raised his head sharply, the lips parting a little. |. “What is it?” he said. His volc«» was high pitched and querulous. Prom the street, came the strident voice of the newsboy. He was too far away for his words to be distinguished, but he was coming rapidly nearer. “Stop that newsie!” a man exclaimed involuntarily. “What is it? Why stop the newsie?” The tone was still sharp and querulous. -—— ■ ■

The young man who cherished ideals standing before Bob sought to hide his paper behind his back. The movement caught Bob’s attention. Just before the paper disappeared behind the young man’s back he saw in big. flaring red letters. “Reming”— He held out his hand. “Give me that paper.” ' ™ The-young man stared at him mutely, a scared look coming into his eyes. “Give me that paper!” Bob repeated fiercely. He caught the young mad by the shoulder, swung him around roughly and seized the paper. Then he unfolded it and read. The crowd lodked on in dumb discomfort. Somehow every one present found himself suffering horribly.. As the flaring headline Bob felt his heart contract convulsively. There was a sudden sharp throb in his brain, and then a strange numbness spread through him. He read through the affidavit without being able to comprehend what it meant. There, in its bold type, it seemed so impersonal, so much the thing which he was used to see in the newspapers, that he could not realize that it was Paul’s, his friend’s, public disavowal of him. Be

reaj It a second time; and still it did not seem real— the numbness persisted. E|£ looked at the young man. “What does it mean?” His hand passed before his eyes. “I—l don’t understand.” The young man sobbed aloud. “It isn’t true. Mr. McAdoo? Say it isn’t true.” Bob looked at him. the smile still playing about his mouth. ' “Is it, bad?" The querulousness was gone. The voice was tired and gentle “Then it's true—whatever it is.” The crowd stood stupidly" mute. The young man sobbed again. He caught one of Bob’s hands in both his own. “I don’t care if it is true.” be said brokenly. “I’ll starid by you.’’ He turned to face, the others and through unshamed tears looked* defiance at them. They stirred uneasily. A mutter of approval arose.

Bob exerted all his will power to bring back his straying mind to the thing before him, to realize what it was that made these men stand around him in stupid silence. The paper,had fallen from his hands. He was standing rigidly upright, his head thrown back, his feverish, glittering eyes taking no account of the present Haggin took a step forward and laid his hand on Bob’s shoulder, “Bob," he said—and no one wondered then at the gentleness in the old prizefighter’s voice—"ye’re sick. Let’s go home. Bob.” Bob started. He looked at Haggin with a puzzled, childish frown. “Eh. Tom? I came 'to see you about , something. 1 ' 1 forget what. It was something—l’m always forgetting today. Tom. let MacPherson go to thunder, and you and I’ll go home," Haggin took one of Bob’s arms, earnest young man caught the other. Together they half led, half supported, him to the carriage. Then they got in with him and drove away.

THE CROWD LOOKED ON IN DUMB DISCOMFORT.

There was a rustle as the men in the crowd changed their attitudes stiffly. Then some one laughed unpleasantly. “Don’t,” another rebuked him complainingly—“don’t laugh. I feel like I’d just seen a man hung.” Haggin and the young man leaned forward anxiously, ready to catch Bob if the jolting of the carriage should throw him off balance. When they were halfway home Haggin ‘ ordered the driver to stop. “Git out.” be commanded the young man. “an’ phone fer a doctor to be at his house! Quick! See?" ~ When the carriage resumed its journey the old saloon keeper took a seat beside Bob and awkwardly put a steadying arm around his liege’s shoulders. He noticed that Bob’s lips were moving. “What is it"“ Haggin inquired, bending over. “1 can t near , Bob. Can’t ye speak louder?’ Bob’s eyes opened slowly. He stared at his companion unrecognizlngly. He began to mutter. Haggin could catch only snatches of it. Delirium had gripped Bob. “It’s the face of the little newsie. I can’t get it out of my sight. They’ll beat me In the end. The miracle won’t come, Kathleen. Beaten by a woman. I’ll get out of your way, I tell you. I have nothing to say. You’ve said it all. Paul. This is the end.” Haggin blasphemed tearfully to the driver. “Can’t you drive faster?’ (To be continued.)

THE GOLDEN AGE AT HAND.

Scriptural Evidences That Are Astonishing—No One Can Afford 'to Be Without the Knowledge. We do our friends a valuable service when we call their attention to the valuable book entitled, “THE TIME IS AT'HAND,” in which are given many Scriptural evidences to prove where we are on the stream of time. ‘ “Men’s hearts are failing them for fear” and many of the leading thinkers are proposing remedies to better conditions. The Scriptures assure us that man’s. extremity will be God’s opportunity, and this book holds out an anchor to those who fear the wave of unrest now spreading over the world. „ .

The honest heart confesses that It Is at a loss for an explanation of transpiring events. While we refer to this as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of ENLIGHTENMEN T, nevertheless many, realize that we are fast approaching a crisis which is wrapped in darkness owing to the present worldwide social, religious and political unrest.

As though by instinct the whole creation, while it groans and travails in pain together, waits for, longs for and hopes for the DAY, calling it the “GOLDEN AGE”; yet men grope blindly because not aware of the great Jehovah’s gracious purposes. And-Ho his wondering creatures, looking at the length and breadth, the height and depth of the love of God, surpassing all expectation, He explains: “My thoughts are not - your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saitli the Lord; for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts,” Isa. 55:8, % Send■■'3s cents at once.'.'for the book.

THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

CONSECRATION IN THE TEMPLE. Luka ii, 22-39-—Jan. 28. “For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation* which Thou hast prepared before the face of all .people.”—Vs. SO. SI. ■ HEN JESUjI was forty days £ £ I old, Joseph and_slary took Him to Jerusalem and presented Him In consecration in the Temple. This was in accordance with the custom which related specially to the first-born in each famn.v. - Although the first-born of the entire nation were passed over at the deliverane§ from Egypt, they had been exchanged for the one tribe of Levi, which had been specially devoted to God’s service: and the same principle was exemplified in respect to the firstborn of each mother. It was to be devoted specially to God and His service. t

The significance of this we. see when we remember , that the elect Church,

h e i n g gathered during this Gospel Age, is styled the Church of the First-borns. Again, St. James 1 tells us that we are “a, kind of first-fruits-u n to God of Ilis erea-' .turns.” The clear intimation of all this is that after the church shall have been gath-

ered to heavenly glory by the power of the First Resurrection, the Kingdom then to be established will bring blessings to all the families of the earth, giving them also the opportune ty of becoming sons of God. on the earthly plane, by restitution processes —Acts iii, 10-21.

“Set For the Fall and, Rising Again of Many In Israel.” At the time of the consecration ceremony at the Temple, aft aged came forward and took the babe Jesus in his arms and praised God. By some power Divine this aged Prophet and, after saying, “Now letteat Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation”—the way in \Vhich Thy salvation shall come to Israel and to all the families of the earth—he proceeded to say, “which Thou hast prepared in the presence of all people—the Light of the .world and the Glory of Thy people! Israbl.” Simeon, addressing Mary, declared prophetically that the Child was “set for the fall and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign | mark or stapdardj. which shall be spoken against, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

How wonderful a prophecy! It reminds us of the words of St. Paul, that our Lord is “a stone of stumbling and rock of offence” to many in Israel, that many stumbled, beiug disappointed. And St. Paul told also of the rising again of many who stumbled. He declares, “Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketli for, but the election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded”—stumbled—turned aside from Divine favor.—Romans xi, 7. Not a sufficient number of “Israelites indeed” were found to complete the. foreordained elect, and hence the invitation went beyond Abraham’s natural seed to gather during this Gospel Age the saintly of every nation, people, kindred and tongue.

“All Israel Shall Be Saved.” A saintly woman, Anna, a Prophetess over a century old, resided in Jerusalem and in the precincts of the Temple courts. She, also, moved by the Holy Spirit, recognized the Babe

"Consecrating their children."

a cause of gratitude to God for those who behela Him at the age of thirty, consecrating Himself a living sacrifice even unto death, and whq realized that He had been begotten again by the Holy Spirit to be a New Creature, of the divine nature. Those who saw the Master’s faithfulness in performing the sacrifice of His consecration during the three aijd a half years of His ministry beheld still more for which to give God praise. And when He had finished His course at Calvary and was raised from the dead the third day, and forty days later ascended up ,on high where He was before, happy were they who recognized that further development of the Divine Plhn for man’s salvation—the blessing of all the families of the earth. Still more blessed were those who at Pentecost received the Holy Spirit as a begetting power and those who since have received”the same, evidencing tl ' they are the children of God. and, “if children, then heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ” their Lord to the great ''inheritance— to the oath-bound promise made to Abraham, that through them all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

“Mine eyes have seen thy salvation.”

and gave praise to God and mentioned the matter to the saintly ones who were waiting for the fulfilment of the Abrahamic promise—“for the consolation of Israel.” If the seeing of Jesus as a babe was worthy of praise and thanks, still more was It
