She met Mrs. Creveling at some charity affair and got in with her, and Creveling introduced me to Cutter. That was the beginning of it, and I don’t mind telling you that I encouraged Mrs. Ford to travel with that bunch; I thought I'd get in my- self through them with big moneyed interests, and I didn’t realize I was practically using my own wife as a -capper, the way Cutter is using Mrs, Baillie Kip. She's just a kind of grown-up little girl, my - wife, is; she loves to spend money and be taken up by the swell people and.she never can realize that there might be another motive behind the flaf tery of other men, rotters like Cutter. He made a sort of play for her a yea or so ago and she came to me like a big kid and told me; I let him know where he got off and after that she wasn’t bothered, but they had it in for me. You see the game now, idon’t you, McCarty?" McCarty nodded slowly in his turn and his exoression was very grim, but he waited without speaking. “Mrs. Creveling and Mrs. Waverly are different; they belong by right of birth and their old, withered family trees. They don’t have to struggle to get anywhere and in another way they are just as jaded as their hus- bands. They've exhausted every al- lowable means of amusing themselves and they turned to the game for what excitement they could get out of it, and it got them—the fascination, . You've seen them, of course? “Yes, sir.” “They're both beauties; Mrs. Creve- ling in a cold, aloof sort of way and Mrs. Waverly is a devilish, snaky vamp. Both mighty attractive and each a dif- ferent type; get me?” 3 “You mean that Cutter is using them both as steerers, t0o?" McCarty’s hon- jest tones were filled with shocked amazement. “Ladies like them, with position in the highest society and more I money than they can spend “Oh, without their knowledge, of course, but their husbands stood in with Cutter. I know, because they were constantly at his house, at the so-called little intimate -dinners and afternoon musical he was supposed to give, but which really masked the games which went on day and night. The rest of us were rank outsiders asked only on certain specified nights; only the Creve- lings and the Waverlys met _all the dif- ferent exclusive little groups that gath- ered there. That is the secret of Cut- ter's success and his immunity. You don’t think he made his millions out of just our set, do you? He kept his crowds separate, with those exceptions, and only catered to people who could no more afford the scandal and noto- riety of a raid than he could. More than one poor devil has lost his last jdollar and shot himself in that room that looks like a conservatory at the back of Cutte: house, and I'll wager that more money has changed hands | there in any given length of time than at Monte Carlo for the same period! But no scandal has ever attached to Cutter, his system was too perfect for that; the poor devils who did themselves in were spirited home and the papers made a big fuss over their deaths from accident’ or appendicitis opera- tions, or some such lie. Of course their families were as eager to conceal the truth as Cutter; that’s where he played safe. - The worst part of it s that he is a real aristocrat, if there is such a thing in this country; his family is one of ‘the oldest and he has always kept his social position impregnable, though I understand he inherited noth ing but the house and some rotten an. cestor’s gambling instinct! People don’t dare squeal on him, for he has clients and victims among the connec- tions of every prominent family in the country. He thought I wouldn’t dare, either, but I've got nothing to lose now.’ “I wonder he didw’t take that into conslderation.” McCarty remarked. ““You say he refused to let you have a loan to tide you over ‘he knew it meant ruin to you.” Ford colored painfully. “There was a personal matter in- volved and it warped his judgment, I guess,” he mumbled. *My wife, you know.” “T see.” McCarty strove to make his voice sympathetic, but he was filled with loathing for the unprincipled weak- ling before him. He'd borrow money, if he could, from a man who had in- sulted his wife, and if he couldn’t sell him " out! The ex-roundsman's foot tingled to administer a kick to-the cow- ardly sneak, but he must larn more. “If Mrs. Waverly and Mrs. Creveling played just because they were bored and Mrs. Ford because you wanted her to, why did Mrs. Kip and—and Mi O'Rourke sit in the game ‘'Oh, Connie Kip is ‘a born adven- turess; a professional gambler in a way, like Cutter,” replied Ford, care- lessly. “She’s too shrewd to jeopardize the social position she has wormed her- self into by any indiscreet flirtation, but the cards are her means of a livelihood, and I could swear I've caught her cheat- ing more than once; though if Cutter knows it he doesn't mind her counting herself in on his graft, for she’s popular and useful to him as a steerer. It is through her that he gets his clutches on the young asses in society with more money than brains.” “Was_she at Cutter’s on Thursday evening?” asked McCarty, suddenly. only the O'Rourkes. We ex- pected Creveling, but he phoned that he couldn’t make it, 50 we had a five- handed game; tame enough, too, with neither Creveling nor Waverly there. They were the plungers and helping along Cutter’s fleecing of O’Rourke, I suspect. 1 might have warned him, I suppose, but 1 had my own fish to fry in trying to win my money back.from them or get a loan, and then misery *loves company, you know!" “But Mrs. O'Rourke?” persisted Mc- Carty. “Whit possessed her to play? +For the same reason that her hu band did; a sheer love of the game, responded Ford, with an odd note of i respectful admiration in his tone. McCarty rose. He felt suddenly istifled and, as though his breakfast had not agreed with him. This cheap renegade might be useful to him in the future, and his native caution warned him to go before he expressed himself openly. Not for the life of him could he listen to another word concerning the Lady Peggy, even in praise, from such lips. “Thank you, sir. 1 guess you've told me all I need to work on now and I won't pester you any longer. I won't give you away, but therell be no more fleecing of Mr. O’'Rourke nor any one else, I can promise you that.” ‘I don’t give a damn about that, I'm done!” Ford followed him to the door. McCarty breathed deeply when he reached the street once more, as though to clear his lungs from a fetid atmosphere, but he felt that he had accomplished more in the past hour than &t any time since he had undertaken the case. He was on the inside now, looking out, and-although he had learned nothing which pointed to the actual solution of the crime there was a chance that.the right thread was.in his hands at last. During. his interview with the bankrupt broker an idea had come to him which completely revolutionized his earlier plan of procedure, and he lost no time in finding a teléphone booth and calling hadquarters. Inspector Druét was already at his desk and informed him that Yost re- ported no trace of the missing Hild- reth woman, and Martin, when he was relieved at the Creveling house, said that Hill had betrayed neither protest nor surprise at finding him- self under guard, nor had he m: the least move to escape espionage. The report of the chief medical ex- aminer on the autopsy had come in also, and he had reversed the .opinion of his arristant; Creveling could not have killed himself. It had . been murder. “Perhaps it's justias well, sii Me- Carty’'s tone was humble. “I—I've changed my mind, thinking over the dope you've got against Hill, and, moreover, I've dug up a few things this morning that look like they might make the case complete.” T thought so! the inspector laughed jubilantly. “Good ‘old" Mac! i You're not afraid to admit yod've made ' mistake, are you?” ‘N ty responded shyly. “Not y connected with the force any longer, promotion don't bother me and there’s nothing to hold me back when I'm-in the wrong from saying so, and starting over. I've been thinking that as long as you've got the dragnet out after that Hild- reth: woman . and the stations and ferries and roads watched.so that she can't make her getaway from the city, we're bound to land her in time and there’s no use in waiting for her to try to get in touch with Hill be- fore we run him in again. I think I've got a way to make him talk after a day or'two in the Tombs, but I'd like to make the arrest myself.” “Go to It!” the inspector said heartily. “Your mind was so set on it that he wasn't guilty, I thought I'd give you a‘few days to find out that you were barking up the wrong tree, but the Hildreth woman is too clever by half to give herself away by trying to communicate with him. Come down {ere ang I'll have a war- rant ready for you' “Couldn’t you send it up to me at the Creveling house?” McCarty asked. “I'm on my way.there now, it there in hour.

McCarty almost choked over the recollection. *“He's invited us both to onée of his seances tonight.” “T'll see you there, then.” The in- spector laughed once more. “He has the case all doped out to suit him- self, I suppose, but he wouldn’t con- descend to take me into his confi- dence.

ITTLE STORIES %Bég&r: Mr. Blacksnake Worries Peter Rabbit. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS, et S —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit, having seen Old Mr. Toad safely dig in under one of the tomato plants in the garden of Farmer Brown's Boy, hastened back to see it Mr. Blacksnake was still waiting for Old Mr. Toad under the board in a shady corner of the garden where Mr. Toad made his home. Peter's heart was light, for he knew that Old Mr. Toad would remain buried all day and he didn’t think that Mr. Blacksnake had a chance in the world of finding him. When he reached the board in the shady corner he saw at once that Mr. Blacksnake was still there. = About three inches: of his tail was sticking out from under that board. Mr. Blacksuake was waiting for Old Mr. Toad to come home. Peter grinned. . “You'll whit a long time 1f you wait until Old Mr. Toad returns,” - thought - Peter. Then h found a comfortabls place under a gooseberry bush and sat down to wait. He wanted to see what Mr. ‘ksnake would do when he came Now, Mr. Blacksnake is smart. By the time joily, round, bright Mr. Sun had climbed so high in the blue, blue sky that all the dew had been taken from the plants d#nd ‘the air had grown very warm Mr. Blacksnake knew that Old Mr. Toad would not return that day.. He knew that Old Mr. Toad could not stand heat and that he must. have decided to spend the day somewhere else. Waiting there would be a waste of time; and Mr. Blacksnake was hungry. Having made up his mind to this, he glided out from under that board. He saw Peter Rabbit at once and hissed “at him angrily. But Peter Mr. Blacksnake was big, but he wasn't blg enough to harm Peter, and Peter knew it. “Did you find Old Mr. Toad at home?” asked Peter. , Mr. Blacksnake darted his forked tongue out at Peter. “It is none of your business,” he hissed, and swiftly glided away among the plants. ~ Now, Mr. Blacksnake is one of the swiftest moving of all the snake family, and he was out of sight be- fore Peter got started. Peter w: quite upset. He wanted to know where Mr. Blacksnake went. That garden wouldn't be safe for his friend, Old Mr. Toad, while Mr. Blacksnake was jn it ‘eter started out to hunt for Mr. Blacksnake. He went up and down the rows of plants, looking un der each and now and then nibbling a tender leaf, T am sorry to say. But nowhere did he find Mr. Blackenake. At last he decided that it was of no use. Probably Mr. Blacksnake had “YOU'LL WAIT A LONG TIME IF YOU WAIT UNTIL MR. TOAD RETURNS,” THOUGHT PETER. left the garden. Then he decided that he would go home to the dear at-patch, but first he would have one more look at the place where Old Mr. Toad had dug himself in. So Peter hopped over to the row of tomato plants and along this to next.to the:last one, which was the one . under, which 'Old Mr. Toad had burfed imself .im the soft. earth. Imagine, what a shock Peter got when he discoveréd Mr. Blacksnake coiled up on that very spot!

Charges Carelessness. LONDON, August 20.—The reverses suffered by the Spanish column in Morocco are attributed, mainly, to the “recklessness of the generals in operating too far from their bases,” says the Madrid correspondent of the London Times, who in a lengthy dis- atch gives what is designated as the first full account of the Sipanish dis- aster in Morocco and its causes.” The ewtent of the disaster at Nelilla, declares the correspondent, is so far reaching in its consequences that it is as yet impossible to estimaie jts ef- fects. “But,” he adds, “it is suca that it might ultimately discourage those ‘who still believe in Spain's ilestiaies as a colonizing nation. Yet, its effect may be to brace the nation to make necessary retrenchment and economic sacrifices at home, in order to con- tinue the campaign, which must be both long and costl Reports 10,000 De; Recounting the Spanish strength, and telling of the uctions, the cor- respondent asserts tk paniards must be as “airplane observers have reported the roads littered with bodics.” “The wholesale killings, ‘such as occurred at Zeluan and Sidiriss, and to a part of Col. Araujo’s column at Darqueb, Dana and at Igueriben, ac- count for the large numbers-of dead,” says the correspondent. “And_the bare hills and ravines must have been the scene of many tragic mur- ders of fugitives.” He reports that the Spanish forces are hemmed in around Melilla and that the Benissicar tribe, on the neck of the peninsula of Tres Forcas, north of. Melilla, is showing rest- lessness. Should this tribe revolt, he declares, Melilla would be surround- ed except from the sea. / Troops Not Ready. For the moment, according to the correspondent, an active campaign is impossible. He says the troops are not ready and that consideration of what might happen to the 6,000 pris- oners held by the tribe, among whom are men, women and children from mines and farms, must preme consideraticn. In the opinion of the correspondent, it seems probable that for some time the Spanish forces will not move far afield, “while the money passes out and the ransomed come back. After recalling that the operations of Gen. Silvestre in the region were begun a year ago last June, he con- cludes: “Money was as much his weapon as force of arms, and accounted for the lurrrllins facility with which dominating positions were occupied with little fighting, only to be sur- rounded and attacked when the ef- fect of the payment had worn off.” NEW STEEL WAGE CUT. Reduction From 37 to 30 Cents Hour Announced. NEW YORK, August 20.—Another reduction in wages by the United States Steel Corporation from 37 cents to 30 cents per hour, effective August 29, was announced today by Chairman Elbert H. Gary. He said: n view of the prevailing low selling prices of steel as compared to costs of production, it is necesfary to make reductions in wage rates, and, ‘therefore, we will recommend to subsidiary companies that the general rates of day labor be de- areased to 30 cents per. hour, to be- come effective on August 29, and that other wages and salaries be equitably adjusted.” This is practically the third cut in wages made by the United States Steel Corporation so far this year. On May 16 a 20 per, cent reduc- tion was ordered and on July 7 when reductions in prices of finished prod+ ucts . were . announced, the . co! - n elimin be the “su-|H TLAR SHARK.

HUGH T. STEVENSON. Human life exists in two distinct realms. One-is that of the external. The other is the internal. One realm consists of the things seen. The other consists of the unseen. Shakes- peare has sharply concelved this con- trast between the inner and outward iife in his play of King Henry VII, which is “an Hluminated comment upon the suggestion of Paul that though our outward may perish, yet the inner man renewed day by day.” Paul's practical and progres. sive 'preaching emphasized the su- | preme importance of the spiritual ife. He found upon his return to Antioch that his position had been challenged by Jerusalem teachers, who insisted that all Christians should live like Jews, claiming that there was no salvation without ob- serving the law and demanding that the Gentile Christians should be cir- cumsised to be saved. This difference revealed that there existed the same realms in religious life as in human. It threatened not only the peace and unity of the early church but the ex- istency of Christianity whether it was to be a sect of Judaism or a universal religion. Paul recognized that the prestige of the Judaizers was due to the fact that they came from Jerusalem and claimed to répresent the attitude of ther church and the apostles. s suggestion that the problem be referred to Jerusalem for settle- ment reveals not only his diplomacy but also his confidence in his cause. He was sent with Barnabas and oth- ers to present the subject of con- troversy to the mother church at Jerusalem, that had not broken with Judaism and it had not entered their thoughts that Christianity could ex- ist apart from the observance of the Jewish law. In fact, they were zeal- ous for the Mosaic law, because they considered it essential to Christianity. During the journey of the delegation up to Jerusalem they rehearsed to the churches dcattered through Phoe- nicia and Samaria the story of their missionary victories among the Gen- tiles. Luke tells us that this filled the brethren with joy., but the fact that he is silent concerning Judea, suggests that the influence of Jerusa- lem made them question the mis- sionary work among the nations. The Church Conferemce. Both sides presented their case be- fore the church with such telling ef- fect that there arose much discus- sion, so that “the apostles and elders came together to see-about this mat- ter,” which was of supreme fmpor- tance. The apostleship of .Paul had been questioned and the conditions of galvation. Paul in that private con- ference settled beyond question his right as-ah apostle, as we learn from his letter .to the Galatians, and won over James, whose prestige as the Lord’s brother apparently gave him such a rank that his name heads the list of. the pillars, who privately sought to solve the problem of pre- serving both the liberty of the gospel and the authority of the Scripture.| In that private conference probably | that | caused the church to burst the chains| the decisions were reached of Judaism under the influence of Paul, who was an apestie of man] ind.( rather than of a nation. | While the question was raised con- cerning circumcision, it is not refer- red to in the decision made by the church and confirmed by letter and a special delegation. Peter's speech, which is the last one that we hay of the great apostolic leader, an that of James, who evidently was the leader among the champions of Juda- iem, persuaded ‘the church to repudi- ate’ the activities of those- who had questioned Paul's authority and teach- ings, when they insisted upon ck cumcision as being essential to salv tion. There evidently was the recog- nition of the fact that both Jews and Gentiles were called upon to repent of their sins and have faith in Christ Jesus, as their risen Lord and Savior, to secure their personal salvation. In this Paul won a victory for justifica- | faith in_Christ that made| tion by ¢ God's grace absolutely exclusive of the law, but he evidently accepted a: compromise, based on the principle of Christian brotherly love, so as to help foster the fraternal and social rela- tions growing out of their fellowship in the churches of the Lord Jesus. The admonitions given to the Gentile brethren have been variously inter- preted, as a recommendation con- cerning the use of foods so that a strict Jewish Christian would not be hindered from eating with their Gentile brethren (blood in this case! being the same as meat that was not Kosher), oF 28 & Warning against im- moral practices (blood meaning here murder). The converts from pagan- ism, who had not been trained in the observance of the ten commandments, needed instruction concerning the elementary moral duties, and by con- sidering the feelings of their Jewish brethren the Gentiles could assist in promoting that peace and unity of the church. .

The Scripture is silent upon the subject, but there would never hav. been such a sharp contention over Mark except that Paul saw in him & apostate, who would not sympathi amon the Gentiles. Furneax has advanced the theory that the differences grew out of ti leadership that Paul had becom accustomed to exercise that Barnalas independence and insistence th Mark should go along gave him a jolt “It may even be that Barnabas, after finding himself once more in the oid place of high consideration at Jerusa- lem was beginning to feel his sec- ondary position at Antioch, and r sented Paul's determination to b own way” He rightly claimed that it was unjust to Mark to turn him down for one mistake, but Paul refused to listen to the continued in- sisting of Barnabas believing that he was influenced more by his feelin than his judgment. They separate: Barnabas taking Mark and gomng to Cyprus, while Paul selected Silas, who was @ Hellenistic Jew and also a Ro- man citizen, to take the place of Bar- nabas, whom he loved. F departure must have given Paul a keen pan for he remembered his indebtedne to him. We part with him for “hi; tory marches with Paul” and is silent concerning the career of Barnaba who declined to start with the fors most spirit of his time upon the sec- on_missionary tour. The sympathy of the Antioch church was apparently with Paul and Silas, or Silvanus, who had made a good impression upon them as a member of the commission of con- ciliation sent by the Jerusalem church when they commenced their new campaign of missionary worl among the Gentiles. Silas had t missionary spirit that keeps one 1 ally at his_task, in spite of all difficulties. He shared Paul's views and, through the dstinguizhed posi tion that he held in the church at Jerusalem, he gave Paul a touch with the Jerusalem church which was i valuable during the trying days. when the apostie’s spirit was being tried by a repetition of the attempts to confirm all the Christian church into a sect of Judaism. He con- firmed Paul's claims that his apostle- ship to the Gentiles had the approval of the Jerusalem authorities anq he could attest that they had approved his championship of intellectual and spiritual freedom. Having won his battle by con- tending that “we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus and jus- tified through personal faith in Christ,” Paul had secureq a Magna Charta of ecclesiastical liberty that gave him a message to men of every nation. This, supplemented by his personal fitness through his Jewish relationship. Grecian culture and Roman citizenship and missjonary spirit, gave force to his su€gestio “let's go.” It was worth considera- ble to Paul that he had the spiritual support of the Antioch church and the co-operation of Silas in his de- termination to confirm the churches that he had started in Syria, Cilicia and Galatia in the precepts and nciples of Christian liberty and ristian concession. as defined by the Jerusalem council. After a toilsome and triumphant journey, Paul and Silas, possibly at- tended also by Titus reached Derbe, Lystra and Iconium. In Lycaonia the japostle found Timothy who was well ispoken of by the brethren in two of i the meighboring churches. He had been attracted to the lad, who was evidently a convert of his former ! mission, and who may have minis- tered unto Paul when he was stoned. Although the son of a Grecian {father, Timothy had been well trained his Jewish mother and grandmother in the Scriptures. He possesseq the character, culture and capabilities that would make him a success in missionary work, so Paul i called him to ass! This, added to {the company a young man, whom Paul had trained and loved as his own son, whose zeal and energy combined with diplomatic spirit, en abled him to carry out successfully any delicate or important mission. Paul recommended and Timothy al- lowed him to perform the rite of circumcision, so that he might have an approach to unchristian Jews and avoid any contention. With the addi- tion of Timothy to his rty, Paul continued to strengthen the churches in their faith, and as a result there was an increase in the number of new members daily to the churches of those who professed to be saved through their personal faith in Christ Jesus. He was mow prepared to carry out his program of winning the world for Christ by capturing the strategic centers of population, by his gospel of salvation through grace, for the Maste!
