MANHATTAN NIGHT}) by William Almon Wolft oo 191 by N A Mo st INSTALLMENT XXVL “WHA‘!‘ are you going to do now?” said Poler, in the | elevator. Charley dMb't answ him until they were out- side. “This Ross is scared pretty bad, Pete. He. wouldn't talk just now, but I've| seen 'em a lot more set than he was— | and crawlin' on their bellies for a chance to spill all they knew half an hour later, after they'd had a chance to think things over a bit. I'd like him to come across—I sure would.” “But—you_said you knew already But one of the what he could tell you?” “Sure I know it. things you learn first off in this racket, Fete, is that there's a lot of difference between what you know and what you can prove. Wait & minute.” He went off, and talked for a minute, in a low tone, to the detective stationed outside the house—to watch Ross and his movements, Peter assumed. He came back, scowling. “Let's get & cab” hailed the first one that came along. “I want to go to some police sta-| tion,” said Charley. “Fast Fifty-first?” driver. “Naw. Wait a minute. Go south.” He leaned back, in frowning thought; then his face cleared. “I got it,” he said, and tapped on the window. ‘“Mercer street,” he ordered. “I don't want to run into any one else that's workin' on this job,” he told Peter. “Mercer % vho's | | he said. Peter | suggested the They went into the house, surrounded by lo were dark and quiet, now that the day's business was over. The lieutenant | behind the desk looked up as they | entered. LA ““Lo, Charley,” he sald. “What's on “My hat,” said Charley. “Shake | hands with my friend Mr. Smith, | Lieutenant Greene. I want to shoot off | a gat, Tom. Mind if I spoil some pil- lows upstairs?” “Help yourself,” sald Greene. 3 “Ill do that. And, listen—you ain't seen me since a week ago last Easter— e " 2ight! Wouldn't know you if I did, sald Greene. Charley led the way upstairs to the long dormitory—empty, as it happened, at that hour. Charley busied himself collecting pillows from various cots, piled them up, and then, taking deliber- ate aim, fired the automatic he had found in the Thayer fireproof safe. Then very carefully he hunted among the violated pillows until he found the bullet. . “I_sup) you know ‘what you're doing?” said Peter. “I got an idea I do, Peter. Gawd knows I may be wrong. I ain't too proud to learn. But I thi what I'm doing this time. ~All right, let's go. Pretty well heeled, are you? I'm apt to cost you K!em.y for taxis before you get through with me this night.” ls(:m as _far as you like” said Peter. “I cashed a check this morning. I didn't knowhwhaf lénllht turn up.” Charley chuckled. “And you don’t yet, do you?” he said. “Well, here's where I got to take a chance. We're goin' down toward head- quarters, an’ you'Te goin' to wait right in the cab till I get back. I don’t want you trailin’ in there along with me. T'm riskin’ runnin’ into the boss, as it is. or gettin’ a message from him with orders that would interfere with my pursuit of happiness, which used to be my right under the Constitution of these here United States, if I under- stand th: same, But it can't be helped.” £0 again Peter had to play a walting game. But he was helpless. Charley would tell him precisely as much or as little s he pleased. Still, he was not unduly impatient as he waited in the dark cab on a Center street corner, with the ..acessant traffic of Lafayette rumbling along half a block away. He didn't know what Charley was doing, but he could guess that, however ob- scurely to him, forces had been set in motion that were working in Martha's interest, and Charley, he could see for himself, was well pleased, even though h: had suffered a check at the hands of Ross. If, indeed, he had; Peter wasn't quite sure of that. Charley came back in less than half an hour. He was smiling. The look of the predatory animal was gone, for the moment anyway, from his eyes and Tuesday. Luncheon will be served. Dr. and Mrs, Henry Park Cochran, mis- mmm of Burma, will address the S S s S “Farming Eden.” The Women's Mission- | m ary Union will meet at the church |m: ou He was actually singi 5. or aking so. .ds that, Peter suc , he supposed to be musical, and the tune was one that Peter remembered from two or three ‘ummers back. ' _*'Ob, v Tm luckv: VB @y M “Slow up a bit, T guess” he said. |V nk I know | lucky; thi-is is my lucky day Charley “When'd you eat last, Pete?” “Breakfast,” sald Peter, and realized, rather to his disgust, hungry. “Same here” said Charley. “If you like,” said Peter. “‘Where shall we go? 1t seemed to Peter that even Martha in her most finicky mood had never been harder to please in the matter of choosing & restaurant. But there was a reason for Charley's fastidiousness. He wanted to avold all places where policemen and newspaper men might “You | be exmected to appear, and equally any place favored of Peter's friends. But also he wanted a large, thick steak. He settled finally on Billy the Oyster- man’s. Peter had s silly, young feeling that he was being disloyal to Martha as he thoroughly enjoyed his Cape Cods and the blood-red steak that followed them. But he knew that if any one could tept Martha to eat this night it would be Manuel, and there was a_certain | satisfaction in the thought that she had found a shelter, no matter how temporary it might be, in his rooms. He wondered if she had realized how he had taken to heart her lightest word about those rooms of his; if she had observed that the wall paper she hadn't liked had been ‘replaced; if she had seen the McBey etching she had ad- mired one day in a dealer's window, and that he had Jone around and bought immediately after leaving her and then hadn't dared to give her, because it had cost too much. He had always | hoped he could some day. _His own appetite was quickly satis- fied. Not so Charley’s. 1t was easier to understand Charley's size after sit- ting opposite him at dinner. They'd | ordered a steak intended for three, and Charley had asked no odds when it came to disposing of his shares. After- ward he had pie a la mode, and he drank cup after cup of coffee. Nor was he ready to move on even then; he sat back, replete, and lighted one of his inevitable cigars. “Easy does it, Pete,” he said. “There's a chance—T'll tell you that much. But it’s touch and go.” “But if you know—!" cried Peter, in an agony of impatience. I think I know,” corrected Charley. ‘That ain’t the same thing, and, even if I did know—how many times have I gotta tell you that in this business it ain't what we know that counts, but what we can prove? Connolly don't know the madam bumped Thayer off— but he’s pretty damn sure he can prove she did. And he wouldn't trade that, even up, for what I know this minute!” “But—that's fantastic!” cried Peter. “Do you mean he'd arrest some one he knew was innocent just because he had & case for a jury?” “Oh, I wouldn't that far—not quite,” sald Charley. “Connolly ain't such a bad egg. But get this, Pete. This business is like any other—you're judged by results. A copper's business is to pinch some one when they's been a crime committed—murder, larceny, arson, what have you. The commis- sioner expects it—the mayor expects it—the people that elect the mayor that gives the commissioner his job expect it. Connolly knows that, and he’s acted accordin’ to what he knows. That's why he's an inspector. He don't think any more of that job an’ what goes with it—never forget what goes with it, Pete—than he does of one of his own eyes. “Connolly’s out for himself—just like I am. Know how he got his big chance? By doin’ what I'm tryin’ to do on this case right now—workin’ behind the back of the guy that had the job then that he's got now, goin’ over his head, doin’ everythin' he could, on the side, to show up them that was above him. An’ because he was a smart guy he got away with it. If I'm smart enough I'll get away with it this time. If I'm not—well, I'll be lucky to be back in uniform next week, without gettin® broke into the bargain.” “I see,” said Peter. “You're just out for what you can ft'z——h that right? You didn’t start all this because you u't'._hnlwomnwngemn‘nnw ush!” said Charley. “You make me sick. Ain't it enough to be moonin’ about this dame the way you are your- self without tryin’ to make out she’s got me gaga too? You make another crack like that and I'll tell Connolly where she’s hidin’ out.” “Yes, you will!” said Peter. “I've got your number.” “Don't you get to feelin' too good, Pete,” sald Charley, more soberly. “We ain't out of the woods yet.” He looked t his watch. “Time we was movin’ on ,though, at that.” . dE0 b Continued) .. .

Luke, xi1.1-59. Golden text—"Be not drunken with wine, wherein 1s excess, but be filled with the Spirit.”—Ephe- sians, v.18. Modern economic, social and political questions were not discussed by twe Lord Jesus. He taught the principles which when properly applied can solve every perplexing problem that demands a solution. The Master specialized in spiritual values and the chapter selected for our consideration this week is pack- ed with His choicest admonitions, call- ing for His followers to be loyal to His teachings. Although the Lesson Co mittee selected this part of Luke's gt pel for our quarter's temperance I son, we would be narrowing the m e of the Christ if we limited our study of His words to that vital and important theme. The chapter that we are study- ing contains, says one, “a compendium of 17 distinet subjects of teaching, rang- ing all the way from hypocrisy to the second coming.” It is almost impossible to follow the spiritual principles of the lesson and concentrate our thought upon the temperance question. ‘While Jesus was warning His disel- ples, who were scattered through the great crowd, that had assembled to hear His preaching, against the insidious influence of the hypocritical pretensions of the Pharisees, a man in the con- gregation requested the Master to make his brother give him the share that belonged to him frem his father’s estate. Refusing to act as a judge and correct the wrongs that the man claimed he was suffering, with a sharp rebuke Christ continued his preaching. Ap- parently the man's request was responsi- ble for the entire change in the current of His discourse. It gave Him the foun- dation to present to his followers the danger of covetousness, which was the cause of the family difficulty that He declined to settle. He refused because His kingdom was not of this world. According to the Master's teaching, Christianity does not undertake to deal directly with economie, social and po- litical questions. A legal decision would not have changed the character of the two brothers. Jesus had & program for the improvement of men and nations. It commences with changing the cha acter of men and through their re generation to bring about the gradual transformation of society and the state. He saw the dangers of materialism that forgets God, the giver of all wealth, health and life. He warned His disci ples to take heed and keep themselves “from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” Perils of Riches. Jesus never condemned the posses- sion of wealth. He taught us that it could become a serious handicap if we nllowed it to master our lfe in- stead of acting as our servant. The parable of “The Rich Fool” should serve as a warning to men who in their selfishness seek to promote their own profit, pleasure and power at the expense of the Kingdom of God. The rich man's prosperity was God's gift, vet he left Him out of his plans be- cause he considered them to be his sions, forgett! that he was a steward of divine blessings and that Jehovah had a program for the proper use of his goods. He reasoned to him- self that he wouldusreaerve his wealth for himself by building great store- houses for his jons, and then live a life of self-indulgence. He was foolish because his phi hy and reasoning were wrong. He shut God out of his thought and temporal affairs. Men mt‘ forget to remember the Lord. If they do they will n‘&ometr reward. The wealthy farmer ught that he had “much goods laid up many years” and he to_ take life easy. He woul at, drink and be merry,” but that night he was startled by the mi , “Thou fool, this night thy life shall by ired of thee.” When greed ana selushness dominate the heart one is Apt w take the wrong position on questions pressing for so- lution. ‘The tempersnce and every other question wowid be quickly solved if we could face them from cov- etousness and personal desire. A great problem faces the world at this moment. Back of the economic depression is a moral one. Back of the moral one is a religious one. The condition is world-wide and th h- out every land and in every religion there has been in recent years a de- parture from the faith of the fathers. This has resulted in a materialistic age that has shut God out of their pro- gram. Men may be indifferent, but they are finding that Jehovah is the Master of men and nations. The one way to restore a prosperous era in the commercial world today is through a religious revival. The depression of the moment will come to &n end through a revival of faith in God and men; business will then take on new life. Faithful and Unfaitbful. In an endeavor to promote true liv-| ing among His followers, Jesus called | upon them to exercise faith in God. He'| was not satisfled with sounding the note of warning against “the avaricious and | materialistic spirit that makes wealth | the greatest object of ambition.” He | urged them to live a life of faith, free | from all anxiety and worry, by pointing | out how the Heavenly Father fed the | birds of the air and clothed with beauty the flowers of the fleld. If He did this for the birds and flowers, surely He will care for His children. This fact should encourage us to always seek first the | K of God and His righteousness. | It we give ourselves to the work of sav- | ing souls and the promotion of right- eousness, peace and joy in the Holy | Ghost, we are sure of getting a reward. Looking toward His return, our Lord pointed out that those whom He found watching, when He comes agair, would | | be &luud or happy. This He taught by & parable concerning the wise serv- ant. He had been assigned an honor- }lble task during the Master's absence. | He proved his loyalty to Him by efficient serv that demonstrated the servant’s | character and capability, so that as a| reward there was given to him a still| larger service. If we watch for our Lord's coming we will work °'till He | comes. Christ realized the peril that some would be called upon to face, so He warned them against unfaithfulness. There was an assured happiness for the faithful servant and He also pointed out that the man, who because the Lord delayed His coming became unfaithful, | would be punished. The heart is the | where unfaithfulness starts, so | They will receive a double penalty. They will certainly suffer, “for they will be cut asunder” from the presence of the | Lord-and sent to share the woe of the PASTOR WILL PREACH AT ALL SOULS’ CHURCH Dr. H.
