STORY FROM THE stART From the comfortable financial situation to which he had been * " born, Peter Milman, American gentleman of the old school, and last of his family, is practically reduced to penury through the misfortune of a friend unwisely trusted. Learning of Brewer s suicide, which means the destruction of his last hope. Milman engages a French butler, Achille Lutry, who speaks no English, and is to replace Sneed, servant of long standing. By Lutry, Milman sends letters to Prof. Fleming Bradney, Floyd Malet and Neeland Barnes, men once of high position. In response, the three call on him at his home Each relates the circumstances that wrecked their careers. Milman convinces them that their misfortunes were all due to one man, Paul Raxon. He explains how, chiefly through his belief in Floyd Malet as a great sculptor and the victim of malevolent circumstances, he had subscribed to a press-clipping bureau and kept a detective on Raxon’e track, learning much to Raxon's discredit, though nothing by which • he could be reached legally. Himself impoverished through Raxon's financial crookedness, MH--1 man. proposes an association of the four men—an association outside the law—which shall pull down Raxon and force him to disgorge his 111-gotten financial gains. Following Milman's disclosures, his three guests, after a consultation, practically decide • to join him in the fight against Paul Raxon. CHAPTER V—Continued l 8 ••Not that I ever heard of. The Milmans have always been shrewd, conservative men. Poor old Peter’s the last of ’em, and the best. It may be there’s something crazy in wanting so live down here, and yet, when I see what a beautiful home he’s got and think of my shack at Peekskill, I understand why he wants to fight to keep it.” Barnes nodded a genial good night to his visitors. He did not understand why they hung back. Already he was visioning the future. He would buy a great ranch In California. And there, with splendid horses to ride, he would pass the rest of his days. And, of course, he would have his daughter. When the three men in evening dress were summoned to breakfast in the Japanese garden, they found their host similarly clad. Whether he had not been to bed, or whether he had dressed thus to make their own garb less slr.;iilar, they did not know. They knew only that they found him free from embarrassment and as courteously considerate as he had been at dinner. Not during the meal was anything said about his proposition. Mil man talked freely of his garden and the rare plants in it. A little dial at his side attracted Bradney’s notice. He saw that a wire was attached to it leading to the north wall. “A little burglar device of my own." Milman explained. “By it I am enabled to detect the presence of anything on the Iron screen which shuts this place In. For example, If I fin 1 the dial indicates five pounds in weight, and that the object is moving, I can teD almost certainly It is a wandering cat. If a hundred and sixty pounds, I can be sure of a burglar looking for an opening. Cats are frequent visitors. In the score of years this garden has existed I have had no more than seven burglars.” “What happens to them?” Barnes asked. “How do you get them?” “I extinguish the lights here and the shades are drawn back. By illuminating the marked area, I see the Intruder and have him at my mercy. I keep a loaded shotgun handy, and there Is seldom any difficulty In the matter. Only one ever got through. The alarm must have been out of order, for he sawed his way in during dinner and broke his neck on a stone known, very amusingly, as ‘the Stone of the Respectful Visitor.’ I am very well protected here. I have had time to elaborate certain devices which make me feel perfectly safe. The po- ! lice assure me that my cellar is the I attraction. It is stored witli what was laid down many years ago and the law allows me to keep.” Watching the speaker carefully, Bradney bad come to the conclusion that his host was wholly sane. “I’ve made up niy mind,” he said, when Achille had gone. “Well?" said Milman. He felt If Bradney failed that Malet would be dissuaded. “Well?” “I’m with you.” “I thought you would be when you had had time to reflect that what is unlawful Is not always inequitable. I am very grateful. And you, Mr. Malet?” “Count me In.” “I don’t think Mr. Milman has any doubts about me,” Neeland Barnes remarked. Peter Milman smiled a little. He rather liked this big man. “I had no doubts about you. Now that we are agreed, let us discuss the thing.” “First of ail,” Bradney said, “what are your plans?” “I have no plans,” Milman returned. , I see that you look disappointed. Evidently you expectetd me to have the whole thing cut and dried. That, gentlemen, seems unreasonable. What object should I have in Inviting you here if I were able to accomplish the thing alone? I approach the problem

with an open mind. My contribution toward It will be to entertain you for three months. If at the end of that time we are not successful, this house will no longer be my home. We shall have failed, and if we are still at large there will be Avq hundred dollars each for you. All expenses will be borne by me. I hope you are not dismayed by my news. I do not think you will be. You have not been chosen Idly. In Professor Bradney we have a great Intellect fit fe expend itself on our common problem. In Mr. Malet we have the quick mind and vivid Imagination of the artist. Mr. Neeland Barnes brings to us physical prowess and an extensive knowledge of the underworld and Its ways. My contribution seems small by comparison.” “First,” said Fleming Bradney, "let us collate all documents that bear ou the subject. I assume you have data concerning Paul Raxon, Mr. Milman?” “I have a great deal,” said his host. “I know details of his personal and business life that he cannot possibly suspect." “But how,” Bradney asked, “if you rarely go out and never receive vislTOY I The Alarm Must Have Been Out of Order. tors, can you get at this Information, which must most surely be very dlfficult of access?” “In the beginning, by design. I was determined to find out what forces had pulled you and Malet down. Later, by accident. I spoke not long ago of my cellar. My father laid down a great deal of port In 1871, when I was born. It is a wine I do not greatly care for. A lawyer named Loddon, who has acted for me for some years, is also Raxon's confidential attorney. His name never appears publicly In Raxon’s affairs. He is engaged mainly In keeping his client clear of the effects of earlier Indiscretions. Loddon had dined with me many times, and this port Induces amazing loquacity in him. If I have doubted his assertions, he has boasted the more loudly. These dinners became at last a most interesting part of my life. I drew him on deliberately, never permitting him to see my keenness.” Milman smiled. “For every bottle of my port Loddon drank, he repaid me a hun-dred-fold. It was when Loddon learned that Malet had made ‘The Settlers’ that he told me In so many words that his client was responsible. I will not weary you with details. I have a careful record of every conversation. It soothed his ego to talk, and he believed me harmless. Yes, gentlemen, I know a great deal about Paul Raxon." “And you think he’ll be easy to defeat?” Bradney asked. “No more dangerous man lives in all New York,” Peter Milman said gravely. “That Is why I have been so careful in selecting my compan-

ions. (TO EE CONTINUED.) Literature Owes Much to Early Troubadours

The troubadour was a knight and a poet. A restless knight, eternally on the go, with a musical instrument slung over his shoulder and a sword at his side. Early each spring he sullied forth, whim ami fancy directing his stretches from northern Spain to Provence in southern France, and Italy. Provence, carpeted with wild flowers, where thousands of tiny rivulets wind like silver lacings, where the birds sing sweetly and skies are ever smiling. To the troubadour we are Indebted for a vast deal of our knowledge of the thought and customs of the time. His songs, the first lyrical poetry written In medieval Europe, form a valuable supplement to history; 2,500 of them, comprising drama, romances and Male Hatches Egg The cassowary lays from six to eight eggs of a light greenish color, and these are incubated solely by the male, says Nature Magazine. The eggs are about six inches long and are difficult to boll because of their great bulk, but when scrambled or prepared as an omelet, are said to be excellent. A single egg will furnish 1 meal for several persons.

CHAPTER VI Although Paul Raxon had always professed a great belief in his own destiny, he had never thought to be a multimillionaire. He found himself, suddenly, a national figure. It amused him to read newspaper accounts of himself. People assumed that he had newly come to New York, whereas he had been for years a power working through other men. It was as an architect’s clerk he discovered the graft which was possible In the building trade. Among the group of Illiterate men who were holding up big jobs and levying blackmail from contractors In the name of Labor, he soon became a leader. He was cautious, educated and supremely cunning. The price of success was the betrayal of Ids benefactor, and he had not hesitated to make it. At the age of forty-two he took his place with the living powers in Wall Street, hated by many, liked by few, but despised by none. Publicity overwhelmed him at last. Mrs. Raxon and her family returned from Europe, where for some years they bad lived. At a large price he purchased Great Rock, formerly the home of Belllngton of the Traction trust, and he knew he must fill It with ids wife's friends and entertain In the mavner of the very rich. At this period of his life the Idea of power obsessed him. He did not want to run the risk of losing what he had gained. He was not anxious for any unsavory episodes of his past to arise. There had been many, and with most women were concerned. He grew lesa Intrigued with women as the Idea of senatorial honors forced itself upon Idm. Senator Raxon of New York! No state honors for him. He desired to be sent to Washington. Loddon, his lawyer, licked his thick lips at the thought. “I’m satisfied,” said Raxon, “that nobody can pull me down. Jim Caffray was dangerous, hut he’s in Sing Sing for seven’years.” “He’ll be out In five," said Loddon. “and Jim’s dangerous, because he knows a lot.” “Jim will be out in less than that," Raxon retorted. “Bright’s disease. He's Incurable. You look like a Bright’s disease type, Loddon. Better be moderate if you want to help me to the United States senate. I’ve got n chance. Women are voting against the old machine type of politician, and I’m going to cultivate the women and pose as the pioneer of a new day." Raxon chuckled a little. He was a tired-looking man. slim, and a little stooped. He had fine hands and good features. He could bring readily to his aid the salesman’s forced enthusiasm, which seemed genuine to those who did not know him. He knew he would do well In politics If no old ghosts arose to confound him. For years now he had been living among men immeasurably beneath him in intelligence; a lucky turn had made him independent of them. To go to the senate from New York would be an expensive matter, but he was prepared to pay. To that end It would be necessary to conserve hls fortune. His wife, after years of living in second-rate hotels, was Inclined to a reckless extravagance. Domestic life at Great Rock was strained. Yet Raxon saw that the era of great entertainments was at hand. He knew that as he was now a man in the public eye, he had better do the thing well. The life of relatively small things was over. Not again would he deal with the baser sort of men. Much of his amusement came from watching the men he controlled trying to assert themselves. There was Loddon, for Instance. At heart, of the shyster lawyer type and filled with the ideals of petty graft, a wealthy benefactor had bought him a partnership with a respectable firm and he had to guide bis professional conduct accordingly. Loddon for the moment was filled with glee at hls own fortune. He wished Raxon to regard him as an equal instead of snapping orders at him. He ventured to disagree with hls patron. “My success,” Raxon said, stopping him with a gesture, “is due to two things. One is a total absence of pity. Another that I only use men that I can crush if they get out of hand. Jim Caffray was one. Y’ou’re another.” He looked at the gross, formless creature and sneered. “When I pipe, you shall dance; and if you don’t dance to my liking, what happens? The Bar association will disbar you. You may try to Incriminate me, but you haven’t a shred of evidence of anything crooked, not a check, letter, telegram, or a dictaphone conversation. Keep me in good humor, Loddon, and work for me and you'll go far. Try to be Independent, or indiscreet, and I shall break you.” “Why, Paul,” Loddon cried, “what’s got into you? I’m the loyalest follower you ever had, and you know it." /T-n nw. cz iVTTvrvn \

Coin Designers Honored The custom of placing the signature of the engraver upon a coin die dates from remote antiquity. Many Greek coins, especially the splendid creations produced by the cities of Sicily and Magna Gracia, are signed with the initials of the artist, and in some cases with his full name. The same practice has prevailed generally In European countries. On the coins of the United States but few signatures occur. There was none until the double eagle appeared In 1849, when the signature of Longacre, J. B.

You cannot measure the amount of ftiel that you are supplying to your machinery by feet or Inches, or by pounds and pints, or by dollars and cents. Ue have to have some other kind of moas urement. So we have been obliged to Invent something which wo rail ‘calories.’ Since we must kt ep our bodies hot or die. we can measure the value of everything given them by the amount that it can heat, whether It is an egg or h turnip. “It takes about three thousand cal- | orfes a day to keep my body right in ordinary weather. Big folks, hard work, and cold weather use up more than little folks, warm weather, and loafing. But it is easy f<>r anyone to tell how much they ought to put in (hr body, because you can get a list which shows you exactly how many calories anything giws you, from u slice of beefsteak to a cupful of milk. You can also get a list of how much you should take for your size and circumstances. “You have to keep up the heat of the body or you cannot have strength and ehergy. So watch your diet, learn self-contnd, and pass a law of prohibition against your own mouth when you have had enough. “The controls are of two kinds; the ones you and I have a share in—and those we don't. We share in at least six controls, seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting and voluntary muscle control. In the pumping, balancing, heating, draining and vessel management. and many others, we have litj tie control or none. They need an exactness we could not give. “Now let's look at the smell conI trol first. How does this machine work? I’ve told you everything we know of In this world depends on movement for existence, and all these controls depend on movements that ; make pictures, like my hand moving ' my pen along makes these words, । which form pictures In your eyes and are then wired to your brain, and you j Interpret what I want. You call that i ‘reading.’ Now the smelling control is a very accurate and very simple maI chine. Some animals trust to it more । than to any other. Clever as Reynard the fox is, I have seen him walk right down and over an open marsh into | the very arms, almost, of a hunter, ; who was kneeling perfectly still and < making a chirpy noise, like a mouse ;in the grass. The wind was blowing 1 the smell particles that come off even | the cleanest man, like off everything i else, in the opposite direction. And | Reynard was trusting entirely to his ’ nose and not to his eyes. I have lain i out in a flat marsh and shot at a herd of deer. The smoke of my rifle was quite easy to see. But the deer stopped —looked at it and then came right on near me, with their eyes wide open and their ears alert. The smell particles were again blowing the other way, and they did not trust their eyes. No one control should be trusted. Look at this glass of water ■ —will you drink it?” “Yes, by its looks.” “Well, if you did you would very likely die of typhoid fever. Your eye can’t see the germs." “Each control Is a machine, and an Imperfect one, and each is dealing with violent forces. Thus the light particles of a brilliant lightning flash can destroy the eye, the smell particles of a skunk can kill a dog, the

EARTH’S "HUB” The expression, “hub of the universe,” has been variously employed. In ancient history, Delphi and Delos were each described as the middle point of the whole world. Jerusalem has also been so described. The London Dally News of 1886 refers to Calcutta as the “hub of the world.” The diameter of the earth is approximately £,OOO miles, consequently the “hub” would be the center of a sphere of Kiat diameter,

In the smell ma< hine small particles nre first sniffed up through two doors, railed nostrils, which enn open and shut as a first guard. Then in the | chamber Inside nre lots of short hairs : to filter or keep out big strangers that might do harm, like files or dirt. The linings of the chambers are all wrinkled up to make a big surface over the hot pipes that warm and moisten the air ns It comes In. Over these are again spread guard cells, I that throw out a sticky jelly called mucous, to glue little germs and dirt Into bundles so that our lungs, or force pumps, cun drive up blasts of air through the back doors into the : chambei* and blow the whole lot out, and so get rid of It. We call that ‘sneezing.’ A cold is caused from failing to get rid of germs. Then higher I up. right nt the very top, are a lot of line cells from which are wires going right through the bony celling, which is the floor of the skull. They go In groups, direct to central. (See picture.) These cells have very fine hairs on , ihem; and small particles, such as all smelling things throw off. bang Into these, and set them moving like tuning fork prongs, even If they do it by being dissolved In the moisture that । keeps them damp and banging the hairs chemically. This at once makes messages travel along the wires to i central, and ns they arrive, a picture ■ of the smell is made on the records of the central office. That is how you ; know the smell again; e. g„ like violets. The record offices nre culled 'memory.' They are real records, last- I ing as long as central lasts. If you destroy them, then central cannot rec- i ognize a sweet rose smell from a bad drain odor. And lucky for us it is that our smell center isn’t like a blood- : hound's or a setter dog’s. The air Is probably as full of smells as It Is known now, by the radio, to be full of sounds, and if we could smell them all, we would have to go about with croquet clips on our noses. As It is, we Imve taught ourselves not to notice some smell pictures, while we have taught hounds to notice them, however faint they are. Have you noticed how dogs won’t eat anything hardly, without smelling It first? We would hardly dare to smell at each dish that the waiter hands to us at a dinner-party. By neglecting to educate the smell-cells, however, our noses fail to notify us of even some I of the worst gases; we may lose our lives as the result. Still smells do often warn us of danger long before we ever see anything. For example, a poisonous drain, and we can still dis- i cern one eight-millionth of a grain of musk, and it is said one twenty-five । trillionth of one of mercaptan. “If the fine hairs on the lining-cells : dry up, they can't work. Nor can they if dirt collects on them. There is a sluice over the eye that sends water all the while to wash and keep moist the front of the eye. This water is then led through a pipe In the Inner corner of the eye, down into the nose. This washes the hairs, and then the hot pipes make it evaporate and keep them moist, like a cut-flower stem in a glass of water, even on a hot day. One of my patients once had hls whole nose cut off. The hairs then got dry and dirty, and I had to make a celluloid nose fitted on to his spectacles, to keep the moisture in. I’m sure I can smell dinner—run away and get ready for It.” (© by tho Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

Lesson for September 25 REVIEW—THE EARLY KINGS Or ISRAEL DEVOTIONAL READING—Ps. 105: 1-8. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens: and His kingdom ruleth over all. PRIMARY TOPIC—What We May Learn From Samuel, Saul, David and I Solomon. JUNIOR TOPIC — Teachings and Warnings From the Quarter's Lessons, i INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Lessons From Samuel, Saul and David YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Honoring God in Our Lives and in Our Land. Though the lesson title for the quarter is “The Early Kings of Israel,” the great character Samuel should be included. A good way to conduct the review would be to make a character study of the four outstanding persons of the quarter—Samuel, Saul, David and Solomon. Perhaps the most satisfactory method of review will be the summing up of the leading events and teachings of each lesson. The assignments should be made a week ahead, so that the members of the class may recite without hesitation. The following suggestions are offered: Lesson for July 3. Against the protest of Samuel the people demanded a king, in order that they might be like other nations. Saul, of the trilie of Benjamin, was given as best suited to fill the place. Lesson for July 10. Because of Samuel’s exemplary life ns a child, a judge ami a ruler, he was able to challenge the people to show wherein he had ever defrauded or oppressed anyone. It is a tine thing i when a man in public life can be vindicated against the cha. ,e of wrongdoing. either in public or in private. Lesson for July 17. Saul's failure brought great sorrow of heart to Samuel. The selection of David from Jesse's sons showed that Go<| looks not on the outward appearance. but upon the heart. David's fidelity as a shepherd boy put him in ' line for promotion. Lesson for July 24. Because David was Jealous for and trusted in God he was able to overcome Goliath, who had defied the liv- । Ing God. Lesson for July 31. The friendship of David and Jonathan has become immortalized in the world's thought. It was unique in that it occurred between two men of rival worldly Interests. Jonathan, the crown prince, knew that God had chosen David, therefore he waived his natural rights. Lesson for August 7. David knew that God had rejected Sani and cho-en himself to be king. Though relentlessly pursued by Saul. David spared the king because he was God’s anointed. Lessen for August 14. When David was made king be desired to bring up the ark. the symbol wf God's presence, to the center of the nation's life. Though his desire was worthy, he was not careful to do ae- । cording to God's way. Doing a right thing in a wrong way is displeasing to , God. Lesson for August 21. Though God did not permit David to , build a house for Him, He did something better; He promised to build for David a house, that is, to establish for him a throne. God does more ‘ and better for us than we are able to ask or think. Lesson for August 28. Through neglected duty David fell into temptation and grievously sinned. ' By means of a parable Nathan the | prophet convicted him of his sin. Upon confession to God forgiveness was granted. Lesson for September 4. Because Solomon chose wisdom In order to intelligently reign over the nation. God abundantly bestowed upon him wisdom and riches. God’s blessings exceed our asking. Lesson for September 11. Solomon’s first task after his coroI nation was building the temple, a privilege which was denied to David, his father. Because of Solomon’s obe^ [ dience God manifested His presence , and thus made the temple holy. Lessen for September 18. Lehoboam s pride and arroganev j lost to himself the support of the major portion of the nation. Christ Cives the Life The panting spirit of man cries for | the fullness of life. We are hampered ■ here with the body, diseased and ■ weakening until age and decrepitude lay us on the shelf in helplessness. . Even the spirit of man is responsive 'to these physical infirmities. But Christ gives the life “more abundant.” which begins here and goes on forever. In heaven "we shall live and not grow old.” —Methodist Protestant. Our God “Thou art our God.” It takes two to make a bargain and God and we have both to act before He is truly ours. He gives Himself to us, but there is an act of ours required, too; and you must take the God that is given to you and make Him vours because you make yourself His.—Alexander Maclaren. We Grow Strong or Weak Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them. Silently, day by day. we grow strong or weak and at last some crisis shows what we have become.—Canon Westcott.
