uncn three days had passed and no trace of the missing man had been had. he was given away to the detective by one of the town officials He had left the chalet lightly clad. without food or baggage and In a fever. md the idea was that he had lost himself on the mountains and would perish If not found. Parties were sent out In search. and 1t was not long before evidences were found. When the fugitive discov- cred that he had been hunted down and was about to be arrested for his crime. there was nothing left for him but to take to the mountains and find a tenn porary covert until he could plan lit- tie. Being i'll, without food and thinly clad. he could not keep his life over two or three days. In the gloom of that first night he had travelled nearly two miles, making up the mountains by a path. Then he had wandered from the path and fallen over a bank 30 feet high in- to a stream. The rushing waters had carried him down a mile or more, and they found his dead body wedged be- tween two great rocks.
 When the coroner overhauled the ef- fleets found on the body. there came 10 light 5000 in English money and drafts for nearly S2o0.000 more. Ills name was not Braceby. of course. but as the city treasurer of a town In the west he had gobbled It's last dollar and fed tor enjoy his Ill gotten gains on the other side of the ocean. He had not spent thousand dollars az yet or talk en a moments comfort. He had too much conscience and not enough nerve If he had got safely away. he would never have enjoyed himself As look ed down on his dead body and thought of his shattered and disgraced life I felt something more than passing sor. row. As helped carry the bruised and battered corpse down to the townhouse for Inquest and burial found tears In my eyes and pity In my heart.

-rcn lIc 1oorways oi that palace ar then invite into all the glories th. Esther ever saw at Persian banque )r Daniel ever walked among in Baby lonian castles or Joseph ever witness ed in Pharaoh's thronvroom and thei yourself enter this castle of archan gelic construction and see how poor | palace 1t Is compared with the greater palace that some of you have already found In the heart of a loving and par doning God and Into which all the mu- sic and all the prayers and all the ser monic considerations of this day arc trying to introduce you through the blood of the slain Lamb.
 Oh, where Is oblivion now? From the dark and overshadowing word that it seemed when began 1t has become something which no man or woman or child who loves the Lord need ever fear. Oblivion defeated. Oblivion dead. Oblivion sepulchered. But I must uoi be so hard on that devouring monster. for into its grave go all our sins when the Lord for Christ's sake has forgiven them. Just blow a resurrection truru- pet over them when once oblivion has snapped them down. Not one of them rises. Blow again. Not a stir amid all the pardoned .niquities of life time. Blow again! Not one of them moves In the deep grave trenches. But to this powerless resurrection trumpet a voice responds half human, half di- vine, and 1t must be part man and part God, saying, Their sins and their In. iquities will I remember no more" Thank God for this blessed oblivion. So you see I did not invite you down into cellar, but up on a throne; not into the graveyard to which all materi- alism Is destined. but Into a garden all abloom with everlasting remembrance. The frown of my first text has become the kiss of the second text. Annihila- ton has become coronation. The wiring ing hands of great agony have be- come the clapping hands of great Joy The requiem with which we began has become the grand march with which we close. The tear of sadness that rolled down our cheek has struck the lip on which sits the laughter of eter- nal triumph.

The driver pulled up that the travel CT might ask If he could find accommo- dations at some chalet instead of at the hotel, as he was not in good health and wanted quietness. l was lodging at a private house. and there was room for another guest. The stranger was driven on. md l sat down on a rock to sum him up. Having come from the west in country vehicle. he must have come from beyond the railroad station. The horse looked weary, the hoW was 4 In the afternoon, and 1 settled 1t that he must have come from Thalla. 15 miles away. Tbc man wore hat which did not ft him and had the collar of his coat turned up. He had on goggles. though 1t was a dark day. A person who wears goggles for weak eyes will carry a finger to one of the glasses ev cry two or three minutes. even if he does not remove them occasionally. On this mans face was a newly grown beard about an inch long. Every 30 sec onds up went his hand to scratch. He was not used to a beard, but had grown one for an object. He thickened his voice when he spoke to me, and 1t was easy to detect the unnatural intonation. Why did he do itf Travellers searching for health are seldom to be met with In the mountains except in early summer, and this was late In the season. He might explain. however. Mir. Braceby, as he had given his name. probably had more reasons for seclusion than he had stated, and had a curiosity to observe him further
 He was taken in at the chalet, and that night we ate supper together. l saw from his table manners that he had been used to the quick lunches of a restaurant. He claimed to be an Englishman. but his American idioms would have given him away to child.
