THE village of Guadalupe is a suburb 3 miles northeast of the City of Mexico. Near it, on and around the hill of Tepeyacec, the beginning of the Guadalupe mountain range, is a great collection of bulldings dedicated to the Virgin Mary, under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, built in obedience, according to legend, to her command given to a poor shepherd boy, Juan Diego, in September, 1531. At the foot of the hill, where Juan stated he saw his vision and received the command, a mighty church was built; to the right of it, above a clear spring, a chapel was erected, and about 300 yards up the mountain another chapel came in course of time to be placed. Several other shrines and cm&x; have grown up in the vicinity of . The site is the place for an- nual pilgrimages from all parts of Mexico on the occasion of the birthday of Juan Diego. The great church, now a cathedral, is a vast structure of brick and stone, with four immense towers surrounding a central dome. More than $2,000,000 was expended in its erection. GOLDEN DAWN By PETER (Copyright. INSTALLMENT XXIV. PON his return to his office, McNamara found in his mail a photograph of Lanny, in- : “To dear old Dan— from his partner in crime— Lanny.” While he was gazing upon it and telling himself how little justice the portrait did the beloved subject, Stephen telephoned, demanding that he come to the office. Lanny was in tears. “I've just had another visit from Mrs. Merton, Dan,” Stephen began. “It seems that after two years of inactivity, during which time she had elected to believe Pene- lope Gatlin dead, she has developed a crazy notlon to prove it. She wants to get Penelope’s fortune.” “You questioned her about her daughter “Yes, but she doesn’t know it,” said | Stephen. “I hypnotized her first and spent an hour tflxuflonlu her, and it appears that this morning she visited your captain of detectives and asked him to throw out a drag net to locate Penelope Gatlin. She brought him some snapshots of the girl—told him the I's habits and peculiarities— everyt‘l‘mrm. When I'd discovered enough to put Lanny in tears, I a ened Mrs. Merton and sent her away happy, but with this command firmly planted in her subconscious mind: she must not think of the name Penelope Gatlin. When I awakened her, I asked her if she had an adopted daughter. She replied, surprised, that she had. I then asked her the name of this adopted daughter—and a look of terror came over her face. For the life of her. she couldn't think of the name and begged me not to mention it if I knew it.” “It's & pity you didn’t think of doing | that before she went to the detective bureau with her information™ Mc- Namara tfledoa and called up the Se- curity Trust Co. "I%e captain of detectives hu“ put Flynn and Angelloti on the case” he announced drearily when he had hung up, “and Flynn has already been to the bank making inquiries. When he pre- sented his cfedentials the cashier showed him everything. They’ll iden- tify her as Nance Belden, trace her to Paris as readily as I did and the French vernment will be notified that Pene- g‘pe is an escaped convict. They will immediately deport her and Flynn will meet her at Hoboken.” “But can't you do anything about it, Dan?” Lanny pleaded. “Nothing. Flynn and Angellot! are on the trail officially now.” He stared at Lanny tragically. “I'm out of the picture now and can do nothing but ad- vise you. Send two Bables, one to Nance Belden in Paris and the other to Pene- lope Gatlin at the same address. Say: | ‘Come at once—Lanny dying—cable name vessel on which leaving,’ and sign it, ‘Steve.’ “Tll meet her at the dock,” Stephen decided. “I'm due in New York next week."” - “You'll do nothing of the sort,” said Dan. “I'll send that convict at my house.” ' He shuddered and grimaced in his distress, “I could handle the wop with money, but Flynn has sworn an oath. and because I've made a monkey out of him he’ll keep it. He'd rather make a monkey: out of me now than acquire great riches—and if I'm broke, most likely the captain of detectives will step into my shoes and Flynn will stand a good chance of becoming cap- tain of detectives. Oh, murderation, Lanny darling, have you & little whisky in the house? I'm faint, so I am.” | “You're suffering from heart trouble, | you egg,” Lanny cried savagely. “Yes, | a weak heart, & soft heart, a human a “Send that cable!” he roared. “Yes, get busy, Lanny,” Stephen . “The bird of time has but a the wretched After Dan McNamara had left his office Dr. Stephen Burt ... .gazed with mild disapproval upon Lanny. “Unlike you and Dan McNamara,” he sald, “I dislike having the peaceful tenor of my life disturbed.”, “This intrigue is myrrh and incense to me, Stevie.” “f know it.

Now listen to me, and what- ever you do do not talk back. Dan Mc- Namara has run out on us—I mean you. He's through. Dan's rattled. If he hadn’t been he'd never have ordered the sending of such a fool cablegram.” “Dan McNamara knows his way about,” Lanny defended. “He's more than 9 years old.” “So do I. Lanny, it will be highly dangerous to send that cablegram. How is she to know it isn't a message to de- coy her back to the penitentiary? she receives it while she’s Penelope Gat- lin, she is extremely liable to cable for confirmation before acting on it.

Presently he sat up | letter of credit i and read: “Grave.danger stop beat it some other B8 KYNE 1930.) country traveling by motor stop upon arrival cable address stop if need funds will cable them stop leave Paris estab- lishment going concern stop go out for walk and disappear stop unless these instructions followed you leave trail for persecutors to follow. MAC.” He 16oked up. “How do those instruc- tions strike you?” “The instructions are fine. But why commit forgery by signing Dan's name? If the original is traced—" “I have signed it Mac, and the world is filled with Macs. When Dan has reached his office, telephone him and tell him to do something that will prove in any court he was in his office when I filed this cablegram.” ‘Twenty minutes later Dan McNam- ara was listening to Lanny Stephen’s cablegram over his private line. “Excellent,” was his sole comment, “but print it in block letters. Even a typewriter can betray one. When Steve files this telegram, have him pay for it with a hundred-dollar bill and have him wear large black goggles and the rim of his hat pulled down all the way round. The girl who receives it will think one crook is cabling another. If she’s ever asked what sort of man filed it, her description of the sender, plus my own perfect alibi, will put me in the clear.” “How are we to manage after she has eluded the Paris police?” McNamara sighed gustily. “Flynn will be in touch with her bank, and every time she cashes a draft on her ynn will have a line on her address.” “You're no help,” Lanny snapped and hung up. Half an hour later, from the cable company’s main office, Stephen dispatched the cablegram. With McNamara definitely out of the fight, Stephen felt lonely and appre- hensive.. He wondered why the girl had fled to Paris in the face of Dan Mc- Namara's instructions to flee to Lower California, to enter which no passport is required. He asked Lanny. “‘Oh, -that’s no mystery, Stevie. I brought home from the office, intend- ing to show it to Dan, an article by a celebrated plastic surgeon of Paris. Penelope read it with great interest. She went to Paris to consult this French plastic surgeon, and also to have sam- ples of her new nose drawn by a com- petent artist.” “So that's how the Paris police in- formed Dan she was having her por- trait done by an American artist, eh? I suppose it will be her luck to be in a hospital undergoing the operation when ;.‘he Paris police receive word to deport e “I'm afraid she’s balled everything up, Stephen. Flynn will have the num- ber of her passport, and Dan will have no time to fix a new passport photo- graph on it. Theyll not trust to the photo to identify her if she tries to land. They'll check up on the passport number also.” “Will you never cease discussing this miserable business, Lanny?” Stephen burst out irritably. “If it hadn’t been for you, we wouldn't be in this wretched predicament.” ‘When the captain of detectives called in Detective Sergt. P. Flynn and related to him the tale told to him by Mrs. Rudolph Merton, Flynn gave no sign of being particuiarly interested. Care- fully and methodically he arranged in his mind the facts as stated, and when he left the presence of his superior all he knew was that he was to strive to recover a lost heiress, by name Pene- lope Gatlin, and that she had a nose that should make her recognizable any- where.

Luke, 111.1-38. Golden text: “Bring forth, therelore; fruits worthy of re- pentance.”—Luke, iii.8. Christianity had its beginning in & movement l:ll’ted by John the Baptist. Luke, with & historian’s spirit, connects the ministry of John with his time by naming five political rulers and two high ts who were in authority when the Baptist, under the urge of the Holy Spirit, emerged from the school of the desert to arouse the nation by his message. It was an age of darkness, disorder and despair when John dramatically appeared along the Jordan. “Soclety was rotten with vice within and veneered over with a self-deceptive re- ligiosity Without. The nation was en- slaved, the upper classes devoting them- selves to selfishness and skepticism, the teachers and chief professors of religion lost in mere shows of ceremonialism and boasting themselves the favored of God, while ' thelr souls were honey- combed with self-deception and vice; the body of the people misled by false ideals, and seething at the bottom of society a neglected mass of unblushing and unre- atrained sins.” John was clothed in camel’s hair garments fastened by a leather girdle. He stirred the masses by courageously pointing cut the cause of their sorrow and its cure. He re- vived the prophetic office in a manner strikingly like Elijah, who pointed out the nation's infidelity and restored the worship of Jehovah. The Baptist grip- ped the nation by his sincerity, fearless- ness and spiritual power. He was a man with a mess-?e. that made religion real and a living force. Prophetic Preaching. His summons to the nation was sharp, pointed and brief. Its startling power was gathered up in one word, “Repent”; its motive expressed in one sentence, “The kingdam of heaven is at hand.” In his demand for them to “repent” John called for something more than mere sorrow for sin. He insisted that men should get right with God. He re- quired all who accepted his teachings to publicly confess their sins when they were baptized by him in the Jordan. He knew that selfis! ‘was man's greatest sin. Their greed and indifference to others sealed their doom. He insisted that all his converts should demonstrate the genuineness of their changed rela- tions with God by a social service which should prove to all men that their spir- itual experience was true. He taught them to share their with the less fortunate, so that there would not be any wanting food or raiment. He encouraged them to do this by teaching that “the Kingdom of Heaven | %! is o han John's power as a preacher was mar- velous. Instead of going to the citles, the centers of population, he attracted the nation to him in the sparsely set- tled sections, where he delivered his mes- sages. The people were aroused by the boldness of the Master’s forerunner: His directness stirred the conscience of all classes. The power of the Baptist, like that of every preacher, was his per- sonality. His life of righteousness, in- tegrity and poverty gave force to virlle sermons. His sincerity and spir- ituality helped him to make his religion real to the masses. His soul was on fire for God. He was fillled with the Holy Spirit, so that he courageously con- demned Herod's immoral marriage. His words cut deep and made his hearers realize their own sin. The Prophet’s Message. In the two sermons that have come to ur we see how he called the com- pany, probably made up of Pharisees ¥ Hugh T. Stevenson. and Sadaucees, the religious leaders of his day, “a generation of vipers.” There was irony in his question, “Who hath He required that prove a genuineness of their faith, not merely by baptism, but by a life of righteousness. e condemned their racial pride and the folly of their plac- ing confidence in their national security. He warned them against depending upon their descent from Abraham as a means of salvation. Upon all men John en- joined the duty of giving, but he sisted that certain cl should dem: onstrate their new life by courtesy, honor and contentment. Although Luke does not use the hrase “the kingdom of heaven is at and,” it is the one by which Matthew characterized John’s preaching. No other message would arouse the Jewish ple like this promise. During all :he dark hours of their history this hope has kindled their patriotism and aroused thei: national zeal. We can see it work- ing today in modern Zionism, that seeks Palestine as a national home for the Hebrew people. When John the nation that the promised Messiah was at hand and that following the coming of the King and kingdom would come judgment, we ¢an understand the star- tiing power of the prophet's message. John's Greatness. Upon the death of his parents, John's life came under the influence of the Essenes. Despising wealth and scholas- tic virtue the Essene brothers chose a life of celibacy and communism, of d votion to extravagant laws of purity, riculture and meditation.” These in trious, modes:, profoundly moral and religious men lived in communities by themselves in the solitudes of the Jor- dan Valley. In some cases they dwelt in monasteries in the centers of a- tion. They held a high place in the esti- mation of the people, who respected all who “wore the white robes of the fra- ternity. Jesus during his public minis- try never once criticised the members of the Essene brotherhood. Both He and John sympathized with the prin- ciples and practices of the Essenes. In the solitude of the wilderness the Baptist learned to understand God's revelations written in nature and the Old Testament. Endued with the power of the Holy Spirit, the forerunner came forth to fulfill the prophecy of ing the way of the Lord.” He revealed his greatness when he waved aside the applause of the people that came at the zenith of his popularity, and pointed them to the coming M:ssiah. He did not consider that he was worthy to unlace the thong of His sandals. He prepared the nation for the of bly the last in- terview that our Lord had with John the Baptist the great soul hesitated about baj the Nazarene, who could not confess to having committed any sin.
