no bills against Otis Page and Lewis
Anthony Of West Pembroke who were
arrested for the alleged murder of
Richard Robinson, son of James Rob-
inson, of the town of Dennysville. on
November 20. 1898. Robinson who had
gone into the woods hunting, was soon
followed by Page and Anthony. At I
o'clock that night Robinson's body was
found with marks on IL indicating that
he had been shot through the back and
his coat. vest and shirt had been OPEN
ed and his ncCktie unfastened, although
hunting mittcns were still on his
hands. This seemed TO show
that the body had been cX-
amined. presumably by the ono who did
the shooting owing to the fact that
Page and Anthony were absent from
their homes several days following.
coupled with the fact that they also
were i'm the woods on the day of the
shooting they were arrested and after
a hearing held for the grand jury.
That body FOR want Of evidence, how

persistcncy which was as stupid as it
was useless.
The woman looked at the Gladstone,
then at her mistress, and then at me.
Shall I give it to Austin, or take it
to your room, sir?' she asked Civilly.
My eyes were fixed upon Miss Brans-
combe. She stood, her slight figure
still drawn up in dignified silence, and
her face turned away, as if she had no
more to do with the subject.
The maid waited. She was a small,
dark woman, just past her first youth,
with, as | noticed now, a certain keen
ness Of expression beneath the we'll
trained civility Of her manner-a per-
son of experience, | could judge. A
quick conviction came to me as my
eyes met hers-this woman was in the
secret, whatever it might be. She was
Mona confdante and assistant. Mona
was indeed helpless in the hands Of
her INSCRIPTIONS cousin and this art
full Abigail.
Shall | give it to Austin, sir?" re-
peated Woodward; and at that mo-
ment Miss Elmslie entered the room.
What is it," she exclaimed. Your
bag? Oh, l am so glad you have
found it, Mr. Fort! How did it get

How odd" she calculated, turning
it around and examining it curiously.
Have you opened it,"

you seem to turn,yonr back upon them.
You do not seem to know the sound OF
their voices as we'll as You used to, or
to be moved by the sight of their dear
faces. Call louder, We departed ones!
Call louder from the ivory palaces!"
When think of that place,an think
of my entering it, / feel awkward;
feel as sometimes when have been ex-
Lesed to the weather, and my shoes
have been bemired, and my coat is
soiled, and my hair is disheveled, and
| stop in front of some fine residence
where | have an errand. | feel not fit
to go in as | am, and sit among the
guests. So come of us feel about
heaven. We need to be washed we
need to be rehabilitated before we go
into the ivory palaces. Eternal God,
let the surges of thy pardoning mercy
roll over us! I want not only to wash
my hands and my feet, but, like some
skilled diver, standing on the pier
head, who leaps into wave and comes
up at far distant point from where he
went in, so / want to go down, and so
l want to come up. o Jesus, wash me
in the waves of thy salvation!
And here l ask you to solve a mys-
terry that has been expressing me for
thirty years. I have been asking it Of
doctors of divinity who have been
studying theology for half a century,
and they have given me no satisfactory
answer. l have turned over all the
books in my library, but got no solution
to the question. and today l come and
ask you for an explanation. By what
logic was Christ induced to exchange
the ivory palaces of heaven for the
cruciixion agonies of earth? I shall
take the first thousand million years
in heaven to study out that problem;
meanwhile, and now, taking it as the
tenderest, mightiest of all facts that
Christ did come; that he came with
spikes in his feet; came with thorns in
his brow; came with spears in his
heart, to save you and to save me,
God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whatsoever
believeth in him should not periah, bu-
have everlasting life" On, Christ,
whelm all our souls with thy compass
sion! Now them down like summer
grain with the harvesting sickle of thy
grace! Ride through today the con-
queror, thy garments smelling 'of
myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of
the ivory palaces!
