I reflected deeply, but remembered no one of that name. I could find no signature upon these scraps of yellow, halfâ€" charred paper, neither was there anything to show â€"when they had been written. On both sides of each portion there were words, but very few of them had context, and consequently conveyed no knowledge of their purâ€" port. But ali v;as quiet. I escaped unobâ€" served. j On arrival at my own chambers I cleansed my hands of â€" Sternroyd‘s lifeâ€"blood, and, entering my sittingâ€" room, turned up the gas. My eves caught sight of my face in the mirror. It was as pale and haggard as that of the victim of the secret tragedy. Having gulped down a stiff glass ol brandy to steady my nerves, I proâ€" ceeded in breathless eagerness to exâ€" amine the fragments of private paper which effort had been made to des> 'f‘he first I inspected were appar: ently portions of a legal document.; In a firm clerk‘s hand were the words, One of the scraps, however, held my eves in fascination. It bore my own name. The writting was a hand I knew, and the words decipherable were, "*.... desire that your friend, Stuart Ridgeway, should remain in ignorance of the fact. He is your friend and mine, therefore I ...." With uneven steps, and scarce darâ€" ing to tread lest I should create a noise and betray my presence, I reâ€" turned for the first time that some noticed for the first time that some of the drawers in the writingâ€"table were open, and that many leters were strewn about, evidently tossed aside in rapid search. There was a strong smell of burned paper in the room, and as I bent toward the grate I found it full of black dead tinder. The murderer, before his flight, had destroyed a.number â€" of documents. Examining the drawers, I discovered, to my surprise, that they had been forced. If Jack had destroyed any imâ€" plicating evidence would have he not have used his keys? Some of the papers in the grate were not quite consumed, and, picking them up, P examined the fragments under the lamp. They were portions of letters in a women‘s handwriting, the characâ€" teristics of which were unfamilar to I gathered them up, together with a whole letter that was lying at the side of the table, evidently overlooked, and thrust them into my pocket. In presence of the murdered man the darkness seemed filled with a spectral horror, and even the noises I myself created startled ‘me. The readingâ€" lamp gave scarcely sufficient light to illuminate the corners of the room, and I knew not whether the murderer might still be lurking there. Horrified at the ghastly discovery and at the sight of blood, I knew that if discoverâ€" ed there I might be charged with the crime; therefore, aftr a final glance at the dead man‘s race, I extinguished the light and stole softly out, hurryâ€" ing down the stairs and gaining the street in fear lest any of the othe: tenants might encounter me. troy "©....and the said John Arthur Bethâ€" une on this fourteenth day of ...." upon one, and on the other, ".... undertake to preserve this secret knowledge until after my death...." Who is Her Ladyship? Placing the lamp upon the floor P knelt and thrust my hand eagerly beâ€" neath his shirtâ€"front, but there was no movement of the heart. His hands were cold; he‘must have been dead several hours. His coat and vest were disarranged, as "if the murderer had, hurriedly searched his victim‘s pockets, and on the mat outside the bedroom door lay the shining weapon. I recognized the army revolver of Jack‘s. Horrified and appalled, I took up the lamp again and stood gazing into the white, drawn face of the mysteriâ€" ous friend of the Countess of Fyneâ€" shade, utterly at a Toss how to act. My first impulse was to raise an alarm, but I saw that such a course must imperil my friend~ I could not reaâ€" lize the terrible truth, yet all the eviâ€" dence pointed to the person who had perpetrated the crime. Had he not only on the previous night admitted that he was jealous of this young man ? [ A/Z terrible midnight tragedy had been enacted. He had been shot through the heart! + Rushing into the study I snatched up the light, and as its soft radiance fell upon the blanched. features I made a discovery so startling that the lamp nearly fell from my trembling hand. § The man lying there was not Jack Bethune, as I had believed, but Gilâ€" bert Sternroyd! I knew it was the prostrate body of a man, and.a wild cry escaped me when next second I‘ raised myself and found my hands smeared with someâ€" thing damp and sticky. “Jua,ck! épeak, old fellow, wspeak!" I cried, but in the darkness there was neither sound nor movement. ly gained admittance. Mounting the great staircase to the door of his flat I rang twice, but Mrs. Hotton did not reside there, and my summons was not answered. Jack had evidenty not returned, therefore the thought sugâ€" gested itself to enter with my key and leave a note as I had done many times before. Acting upon this sugâ€" gestion I went in, groping my way down the passage to his den where the glimmering light told me that his readingâ€"lamp was .burning; but just on the threshhold of the room my feet struck something in the darkness, and grasping widly at air I fell forâ€" ward on my face, unable to save myâ€" self. {Continued From Last Week) The outer door was shut, for the hallâ€"porter had retired; but as the key of my chambers had, on many previous occasions, opened it, I quiskâ€" [@ mm io mmmmenpmimamennenenmnmnen commennneeindoe m n cono060e 0n eno n ied nomen oo imnenienm en n conn enc 000. onconi o oocnio ooo inccoo nc nc B CHAPTER IX In a few hours, I told myself, Mrs. Horton and her daughter would go there to do the cleaning, and would find the body. Then the police would raise a hue and cry, and by noon the gloating gutterâ€"journals would be full of "Another West End Mystery." I knew that by preserving my secret I was shieldirg an assassin, perhaps assisting him to escape; but, dumâ€" founded at the overwhelming eviâ€" dence of Jack‘s guilt, I sat shuddering, awestriken and inanimate. I dropped off to sleep in my chair, and did not awake until Saunders entered and I found it was morning. My breakfast went away untouched, but E scanned the paper and wai gratified at my inability to find menâ€" tion of the ghastly discovery. Neithe:* telegram nor letter came from Jack, though I waited at home until afterâ€" noon. Oppressed by my terrible secret, inactivity maddenedâ€"me, and I went out feeling that I wanted air or the compainship of friends. After a shor{ walk I turned into the club and escended to the smokingâ€"room, panelâ€" éd in black oak, on the first floor, where I expected to find some one The fire died down and went out, the clock upon the mantelâ€"shelf chimâ€" ed hour after hour on its musical bell, but I heeded not time. I was wonderâ€" ing who was Markwick, the man deâ€" clared to be a vile, despicable coward, and dreading the result of the disâ€" covery of the crime I feared to teleâ€" graph to Hounslow to ascertain if Jack were there, lest by so doing I should betray my knowledge of the tragedy. I held in my possession what might perhaps prove to be evidence of a most important character, eviâ€" dence that might convict him of a foul murder, and I was determined to keep it secret, at least for the present, and by that means assist my friend, even if he were guilty, to escape. Again and again I examined the scattered fragments that lay upon my table, but from them could gather no further information, The message from the mysterious lady seemed to contain some important clew, yet its true significance was unintelligible. Somehow I_ felt confident that the meeting down at Feltham that afterâ€" noon â€"had some connection with the tragedy. Mabel was Sternroyd‘s friend, for while driving me from Gloucester Square he had inadvertently referred to her as ‘"Mab;" therefore, after all, it seemed highly profable that she was the mysterious woman who spoke in such veiled terms of "unpleasantâ€" ness." I Had never heard of any maid‘,‘j named Ashcombe. Old Lady Stretton‘s | maid Frewen I had known for years, while Mabel‘s was .a French girl,' named Celestine, all vivacity, frills‘ and ribbons. Feltham was, I rememâ€"| bered, a small, oldâ€"world village about a mile and a half from Hounslow / Barracks, on the line between Twick-f enbham and Staines, a quiet unfreâ€" | quented place wheréat few trains! stopped. On several occasions when I] had visited Jack in barracks I had | returned to town from there, and itsi choice as a place of meeting, comâ€"( bined ‘with the words of, Jack‘s corâ€" respondent, showed that "her ladyâ€" ship," whoever she was, took every precaution to conceal her movements. What could be the important matter’ upon which the fair patrician desired ; to consult him; of what nature was‘ the unpleasantness that seemed immiâ€" | nent? Again, if he could not keep the appointment he was urged to comâ€" municate not with her ladyship, but with_ her maid. Was Jack Bethune ; this woman‘s lover? Was he playing a double game? \ I stifled these thoughts instantly. No! Although it was apparent that he was aware of my love for Syka#Land was her confident, I would not believe ill of him until I held absolute proof. From whatever standpoint I viewed the crime and its mysterious surâ€" roundings I could not rid myself of the terrible suspicion that Jack Bethâ€" une, the popular officer and celeâ€" brated writer, had fired the fatal shot. If he were innocent why had he hurâ€" riedly destroyed his papers? He had admitted that he was jealâ€" ous of Gilbert Sternroyd, and had beâ€" trayed his hatred of the young, man by his refusal to explain who he was and his eagerness to avoid discussion regarding him. The words he used recurred to me, and I now detected in his manner how intensely bitter was his feeling. "Proof," I murmured aloud. "What greater proof can I have than the evidence of the fearful tragedy I have discovered ?" 4 R I flung myself into my chair and thought over the strange discovery of a portion of Sybil‘s letter, Apparently a secret had existed between them. Thrice Tread the letter through and stood holding it between my fingers, silent and puzzled. Who, I wondered, was "Her ladyship?" Was it old Lady Stretton, or was it Mabel? The writer was evidently a lody‘s maid, and as she signed her name, it seemed to me that she might be traced by means of an ingeniously worded jadvertisement. But this would necessarily occupy time. ‘"Dear Sirâ€"Her ladyship wishes me to write and.say that she will arrive at Feltham Station by the train leayâ€" ing Waterloo at 3:08 on Friday afterâ€" noon. She desires . to see you on a mostâ€"important matter, _ and hopes that you will make the meeting apâ€" parently accidental, in case there may be at the station any person known to her, Her ladyship also urges that you should keep this appointment in order to avoid some unpleasantness that appears imminent. If, however, you cannot meet her, kindly tglegra‘ph to me personally. "Great Heaven!" I cried aloud, "the writing is Sybil‘s!‘" I recognized the hand. It was the same in which she had written me the cruel note in Luchon. And this had been in Jack‘s possession! Even these halfâ€"charred words brought back to me memories of those many! days when we were happy in each other‘s love. At last I took up the letter that had beenâ€"overlooked by the murderer in his mad haste. The envelope bore a superscription in & fine, regular Italian hand, and showed that it had been sent to Hounslow Barracks, the postâ€"mark being dated three days beâ€" fore. Taking out the sheet of noteâ€" paper in eager expectancy, I opened it and read the following words: TIMES & GUIDE. WESTON "Yours truly, "ANNIE ASHCOMBE." Tuesday "You would very soon be tired of it, mother," her daughter laughed. "You know very well when we are down there you are always wanting to see your friends in town." Their suggestion that Mabel had already caused her husband financial difficulties was new to me. If true, it was certainly a startling fact. Old Montagu, the man referred to as holdâ€" ing mortgages upon the Fyneshade estates, was a wellâ€"known financier and as I sat making pretense of conâ€" tinuing my Iette/rj, I could not help feeling that there might be a good deal of truth in what I had overheard. That Mabel â€"was recklesssly extravaâ€" her extravagance had become notoriâ€" the most popular in London, and that her smart cirecle was composed of none but the wealthiest, were facts known to everybody. She was a leader of fashion, and her bill at Worth‘s since her marriage must have been as large as that of an empress. Toâ€" ward women she was unmerciful. With her, dowdiness was crime, and the wearing of a hat or gown a little out of date an unforgivable offense against Society‘s laws. She had lately been living at such a terrific rate that her extravaganve had become notoriâ€" ous; but I had always believed the rentâ€"roll of Fyneshade to be enormâ€" ous, and such an eventuality as the Bankruptcy Court had never once entered my mind. This man, a Jew company promoter, apparently had good grounds for his assertion, and his words caused me to ponder deeply, as I descended the stairs and went out with the intention to call at Lady Stretton‘s, and ascertain whether Dora had heard from her lover. "So do I. If it were not for dear Dora‘s sake, I think I should live at Blatherwycke altogether." Lady Stretton looked always stiff and formal in her rich satins. Nearly sixty, with profusion of white hair and a rather red face, she brimmed over with corpulence and still preâ€" served some remnant of the beauty that was "Very well. LW call on him toâ€" morrow," the â€"man said, blowing a cloud of smoke upward, and then their conversation quickly turned upon some technicalities regarding the property they had acquired someâ€" where in Mashonaland. Tattle and Tragedy When, halfâ€"anâ€"hour later, I _ sat drinking tea en famille with Lady Stretton and her daughter, I confess T felt ill at ease, notwithstanding their light and pleasant gossip. "I really don‘t think you are lookâ€" ing very well, Stuart," the old lady was saying, as the footman handed her her cup. "Town life does not agree with you perhaps." ‘"No," I said. "I always prefer the country." "If you do, then we need, have no fear as to the future of the Great Watersmeet Mining and Exploration Company. The earl‘s name carries weight, and, bankrupt or solvent, his influence will be extremely beneficial to xs." Who was this mysterious Sternroyd who had admired the countess and who now lay dead, shot by an unâ€" known hand? What connection could he have had with my adored one, or with that grim, untenanted mansion in Gloucester Square? I took the portâ€" rait from my pocket, and in the fadâ€" ing light glanced at it as I walked slowly along. Â¥Yes, there was no misâ€" taking the features, nor the oddly shaped scarfâ€"pin. It was undoubtedly the same man. "Yes," promptly answered the man who had first spoken. "I‘ll manage it i "No doubt," observed one of his companions. ‘"But we‘re discussing business just now, not scandal. The virtues or shortcomings of the counâ€" tess don‘t concern us; what we want is to get Fyneshade on our Board. Can it be done?" "Well, she‘s cutting a ,pretty brilâ€" liant figure just now," exclaimed one. "I saw herâ€"at the Gaiety theâ€" other night, and she looked simply magnifiâ€" cent. She had some young fellow in her box, a fair, insipidâ€"looking youth Nobody knew who he was." « "The latest lover, I suppose," laughâ€" ed the man who. had announced the earl‘s impending bankruptcy. ,"If reâ€" ports speaks true, sh‘s rather addicted to flirtation." 4 "I don‘t believe that," cried in chorus. "My dear fellows," answered the elder man, "his pretty wife has abâ€" solutely ruined him. Another year, and he‘ll be in the bankruptcy court." with whom to ‘gossip and pass the time. When I entered I found several City men _ had grouped themselves around the fire, and, lounging back in their chairs, were discussing some deep scheme of companyâ€"promoting in which I had no interest. I sat down to scribble a note, caring naught for their Stock Exchange jargon, until suddenly the name of Fyneshade caused me to prick up my ears. "If he isn‘t at this moment he very soon will be," the other answered. "Old Montagu holds mortgages on Fyneshade Hall and the other estates, and he‘s now got scarcely a fiver to bless himself with." "Bah!he‘d become one of our direcâ€" tors at once if we made it worth his while," an elderly man observed, sitting with his hat tilted back and a long cigar between his lips. "I doubt it," another voice exclaimâ€" ed. "His name carries weight, but he‘s not in want of fees." half sunken beneath her CHAPTER X the others II. The Risen Christ Shows Himself to the Two Marys, 9, 10. 8 i As they went to meet Him \Jesus met them;‘" before they had the anâ€" gelic message, now they had Jesus Himself. When we, believe God‘s word about Jesus and obey His comâ€" mand to tell it out, the next thing Jesus Himself will meet us (cf. Isa. 64: 5 f. c.). Jesus said as they met Him, "Rejoice" ‘(the Greek word translated "All hail" means literally Srejolee‘ ): it is joy and peace (cZ. Jno. 20:;> t9) that the risen Saviour always bring when he meets us. , The women fell at His feet, laid hold upon Him in rapturoas ecstasy and worâ€" shipped Him. Any one who really meets Him with an eye clear enough to see who He really is will worship Him (Heb. 1: 6).. Others do not worâ€" ship Him, either because they never met Him, or else their eyes are too blind to recognize wh9 He is (1 Cor. T: 44; 1 Jno. 2: 22).f Jesus forbade Mary Magdalene to take hold of Him (Jno. 20: 17, R. V. Margin), because there was immediate work for her to do; instead of clinging to Him, she should run and tell the brethren; but here He permits the other women to take hold of His feet. Even in His resurrection glory He still speaks of us as "My brethren.‘" get out, but for the women to enter. The angel‘s dazzling glory and white garments (v. 3) are a suggestion of the overwhelming splendor and im maculate purity of heaven and its inâ€" habitants. . The keepers were struck with terror;, well they might be. So shall all the enemies of Christ be some day. The women, too, were frighten> ed, but there was no need of that, and for them the angel uttered God‘s constant message to His saints, "Fear not." They had gone to find a cruciâ€" fied friend, but instead they found a risen Saviour. The women were first to see for themselves then go and tell: definite experience must precede efâ€" fective testimony. The women might naturally have wished to linger about the sepulchre where their Lord‘s body had so recently rested and where so great a wonder had so recently been enacted, but the commission comes, "GO QUICKLY and tell His disciples." It will not do for us to linger too long at the place of personal blessing. We should go forth speedily and witness to others. But God was better than His promise, they saw Him that very night before they left Jerusalem (Jno. 20;: 19â€"23). The women obeyed Him promptly and heartily. They departed quickly from the tomb‘ and RAN to bring His disciples word. There is great need toâ€"day that women and men RUN with the glad tidings of a risen Christ. There was a mingling of fear and great joy in the hearts of the women; éreat joy at the tidings that their Saviour was risen; fear, because they had been brought face to face with the supernaturalâ€"the human heart always trembles\. when / God comes very close,. ‘Nothing can give greater joy to an intelligent and pure heart than to come to see that Jesus is risen indeed. f 2 \ grossness. To me she was always complimentary and caressing. But she said "My dear‘"‘ to everybody, spoke in a highâ€"pitched voice, and played the child with that doleful languor characteristic of . corpulent persons. She loved secrets, made everything a matter of confidence, talked gossip,‘and was fond of speakâ€" last meeting at His ascension (Lu.| in the N. T. it is Jesus, i. e., Jesus ocâ€" 24:52). John fell at His feet when on) cupies the position in N. T. thought Patmos he saw Him in His glory, that Jehovah does in O. T. thought, (Rev. 1: 17). The time is coming He is divine. Jesus not only bade the disciples go into Galilee but appointed a definite meeting place upon a mountain (cf. vs. T. IO; 26: 3%). Far away from the crowds of mien and the din. of earthly traffic they met Him. They seem to have been there some time beâ€" fore they actually saw Him, but they waited and He appeared. Immediâ€" ately upon beholding Him they fell down before ‘lim in worship. The women when they first met Him had fallen down before His feet and worâ€" shipped (v.â€"9) and the disciples worâ€" shipped Him again on Olivet at their III. Seeing and Worshipping Jesus, 18,..f7. Verse 1 seems to describe a visit made by the women to the tomb late on Saturdag, just at sunset, as the first day of the week was beginning. They went to buy spices, and then they visited the tomb (cf. Mk. 16: 1). In Matthew alone we have the "great earthquake"_ and", "an angel of the Lord" rolling back the stone.

The solemn and glorious commission of vs. 19, 20, is binding upon us. The men to whom Jesus first gave it were obscure men and the commission was stupendous, but Jesus gave them allâ€"sufficient proâ€" mise, "lo, L am with you alway, even unto the end of the age." We too can have this promise if we meet the conâ€" dition, 1. e., "go, etc." But we have no right to claim this most precious promise if we are not going to do the work that Jesus lays upon us. When we go His way, then He goes ours. When we go out with Him in soul winning, making disciples, He goes out with us in a glorious personal fellowâ€" ship and strengthening. And for how long? Until the end of the age. And He will be with us "alway‘"‘ or "all the days." Not a day without Him. In the O. T. it is Jehovah who is ever with His people (Isa. 41: 10, 13, 14); IV. Witnessing for Jesus, 18â€"20. Jesus seems to have first appeared to them in the distance but as some l\\rmshipped and others doubted He _came right to them. This seems to ’ha\’e banished all doubt at last. A nearer approach to Jesus is all that _many a skeptic needs to banish all his idoubts. Before commissioning them Jesus discloses to them the authority that lies back of the commission that they are about to receive, nothing less Ithan "all authority in heaven and on earth." Those are stupendous words, whose meaning we lose because of our familiarity with them and because we do not stop to weigh them and mediâ€" tate upon them. It was the Father who bestowed this authority upon the Son (Mat. 11: 27; Jno. 3: 35:; 1 Cor. L5: 27). ‘Ehis authonty is over "all flesh," over all the angel hierarchies and heavenly hosts, over all persons and things in heaven ‘and earth and hell (Jno. 17; 2; Eph. 1: 21, 227 iwBet. $:.2%:; Phil &: T9). He is Lord of all Ac. 10: 36)., Well may we worship Him (Heb: 1: 6). He had had this authority before the world was (Jno. 17: 5; Col. 1: 16, ‘but gaveâ€"it_upâ€"to make atonement for our sins (Phil. 2: 6â€"8; 2 Cor. §:â€".9). It was now reâ€" stored to Him. Jesus‘ purpose in mentioning His infinite authority was to inspire the disciples with courage to their vast undertaking.. Now Jesus bids them "‘go.‘\_ His first imword, to sinners is "come" (Mat. 11:; 28), but His word to His disciples is "go." Our modern gospel hasn‘t "go‘" in it. They were to go "into all the world". (Mk. 16: 15). Most Christians interpret "all the world" very narrowly. Every one of us should go to the ends of the earth by our persons or our prayers Or our gifts or all together. Having gone they were to "make disciples‘‘ (R. V.). Many missionaries seem to‘ think that the commission of Christ is to educate and civilize and refine. It does not so read. They were to make disciples through the agency of the preached gospel (Mk. 16:; 15;) La 247 40. Having become disciples they were to be called upon to make an outward profession of their discipieship in bapâ€" tism (cf. Ac. 2: 38, 39; 8: 12â€"16, 36â€"38; 91 18; 10:; 47. 48s; 16. 13. sor L9 ge5» Mk. 16:\16). This baptism was to be "into the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." To be truly baptized into a person is to put on that person (Gol. 3: 27). The disciple of Jesus who is really baptized into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost has put on the three persons of the Trinity. It/is very doubtful if these words are given as a baptismal formula, they rather express the fulness of the folâ€" lowship into which we enter by. true Christian baptism (cf. Ac. 21 38; 197 5). There doesâ€"not seem to â€"be in the remotest way any warrant in these, words for three baptisms or a threeâ€" fold baptism. The deity of the Son: and the Holy Spirit came out clearly in the way in which their names are coupled with that of the Father. After one had become a disciple and been baptized he was to beâ€" taught. A commonâ€" mistake toâ€"day, is trying to teach men Christian ethics before they have become Christians. The disciple was to be taught not only to underâ€" stand and believe, but to "observe" or keep the commandments of Jesus (cf. Jasa 1: 22 Mat. T; 24â€"27; 4 Ino. 2: ing in one‘s ear. She pitied others; pitied herself; she bewailed her misâ€" fortunes and her physical ills. Nothing could have been more pathetic than her constant attacks of indigestion. She took a very real interest in the career of her friends, for it was part of her completeness to be the centre of a set of successful people. when He will appear again and His divine glory will be so manifest to every eye that every knee shall bow (Phil. 2: 10). But there were some who doubted even yet. How stubborn was the unbelief of those hearts. It is incomprehensible until we look into our own hearts and see how stubborn is their unbelief.
