PRAYER.

The hearts Of men, how strangely have
they strayedI
The thoughts of men are wearied find
ing out
The deeper thoughts of God. who, undis-
mayed,
fear and doubt,
And works His own sublime and change
less plans
Nor asks His wisdom to be led by mans.
And since there is no light within so
bright
As that which shines around the fault
Where cherubim are gathered day and
night
And God speaks often kindly to His
own,
Then let us boldly come by night or day,
And kneeling very low, o. let us pray.
The wants of man are manifold; they
With growth of His large nature, un-
supplied;
His needs are bounded not by bread or
low
Life-!uxuries to crafty his pride:
But something cries for beauty from
within;
And something weeps for sorrow for his
sin.
So there is craving for the things that
Beyond the senses-for the spirits own;
And there is hunger and the yearning cry
For love that leaves us not at last
: alone;
We would enlarge our boundaries-obey
The higher calling-therefore, Let us
pray"
Ella R>ardsley. in Boston Waterman.

Miss Carmody's face was radiant
with pleasure.
But you should not do that" said
she. ''It is not your place to devote
this large sum of money for the
benefit of those in whom you have
but the general interest of all law
abiding citizens. AS you know, my
father is very wealthy. In my own
name and right 1 have a large
amount of money which I can OBJ
tain at any time. l am sure" she
said with smile, that papa will re-
turn me any money I spend in try
ing to find him. You must let me
advance this money. I wish to offer,
through the Record, S25o,o0o reward,
and in addition / wish you to en-
ploy in this search as large a num-
Der of your staff as you can spare,
and have it done entirely at my ex-
p.nse. They will find that 1 am a
liberal employer. Of course I shall
not publicly appear in the mat
ter In any way. l have already
contributed to the general fund
which has been subscribed by
the relatives of the missing men,
but L have so little faith IN
the authorities and the private de-
tectiyes that / wish to take the step
I have Indicated. You must not re-
fuse me. You know what you prom
ised to do and Miss Carmody
blushed in way which made he's
radiantly charming.

CHAPTER vi.
MYSTERY ON MYSTERY.

The hundreds of columns of space
devoted by the New York morning
papers to the great event could have
been condensed into few para
graphs, so far as any true explanation
of the mystery was concerned.
Six men, whose combined wealth
was variousiy estimated at from
$S00,000,000 to $3.50 100000, had dis
appeared as suddenly and completely
as if the earth had opened and
swallowed them. Four of them
Nessrs. Pence, Kent, Haven and Nor
ton-had been in the latter's office
about four o'clock on Monday after
noon. Mr.. Morton's secretary was
sure they held no conference at this
time, and said they soon left the
building. He thought they left to-
gether, and supposed they went away
in carriages or in an automobile. 1t
was not uncommon for men distin-
glIished in the world of affairs to
meet at Mr.. Morton's office. Mr..
Morton had arranged for an impor-
tant conference with some railroad
men at his office for the following
morning at II o'cblock. The CORE
spondence files showed that fact con-
clusively. Mr.. Morton had telephoned
to his residence that he would not
be home to dinner. This was not I'M
usual. That was absolutely all that
was known of Mr.. Morton's move
ments or plans.
John N. Rockwell was in his office
from IL o'clock until about two in
the afternoon. He transacted bust
ness as usual and had planned to
start on trip to Chicago the follow
ing day. His private car had been
ordered to the Pennsylvania depot
Andrus Carmody was to accompany
him on this business journey. Both
of these gentlemen had left word at
their residences that they would not
be home to dinner. Hiram Haven die
not leave his office until nearly four
O'Clock. This was ABOUT his usual
hour, and there was nothing in his
correspondence or instructions to in
dictate that he would fail to be or
hand at the regular hour on Tuesday
morning.
Mr.. Kent's failure to arrive at his
Office nearly drove his brokers dis
tracted. They admitted that he hac
left them certain commissions to fiji
on Tuesday morning, but the nature
of them or how they were executed
they declined to make public. HI
left his office about four o'clock Mon
day afternoon, but did not say whert
he was going.
For the first time in 40 years Simon
Pence failed to come home. Only OF
rare occasions did he remain ava,
from a home dinner. He had stated
that a business enga cement woult
keep him in the city during the even
ing, but that he would be back at
seasonable hour. The police official
were notified at midnight of his fail
ure to return to his residence No
fully approaching the significance o
this event they made no search TO
the missing man, and classed i
among the cases of this kind so ia
miliar to the hardened members o
the night police force of the metrop
oils.

A special train with the best de-
tective talent in New York, was pre-
pared and dispatched to Province
town. But the developments which
speedily followed, deepened the mys-
terry and puzzled the cool-headed
chief of the detective force. Between
four and five o'clock the same after
noon letters were received by rela-
ti~es of John NJ. Rockwell and An
drus Carmody. These letters were
at once placed in the hands of the
detectives and not made public. This
was in compliance with instructions
which had been issued by the chief.
The Rockwell letter was postmarked
''Springfeld, Massachusetts," The
Carmody letter was mailed from a
Harlem district in New York city.
Early the following morning
Thnrsday-a letter from Albany, n.
Y, was received from R. J.. Kent, and
another was mailed to the Simon
Pence residence from Brooklyn. Mr..
Hiram Haven was as yet pnaccount-
ed for, but late in the afternoon word
was received from him from Phil
adelphia. These letters were of a
purport similar to the Morton let
ter. They were written on several
kinds Of paper, and there was no
uniformity in envelopes. The Pence
letter was written with lead pencil.
The detectives descended on the
peaceful citizens of Provincetown;
which sand-girt village of Cape Cod
found itself of a sudden possessed
of the center of the stage. Probably
no town in America affords less op-
portunities for secretiveness than
Provincetown. There is but one
street in the villagc-a narrow, wind
ing lane which follows the sinuosity
81 the harbor.
But the detectives were not dis
mayed. There were hundreds of fish
ing boats at their deep-sea toll, and
their shippers were interviewed
So were the trainmen and conduc-
tors. The latter were positive that
no man answering Mr.. Morton's de-
scription had travelled over the single
| road which runs up Cape Cod PENN
sula. Two detectives were left at
Provincetown to continue the search
| for clews, and the others received
telegraphic Instructions to proceed
to Springfield, Mass, and Albany, N. Y
On Friday the New York papers
\ contained brief accounts of the dis
appearance of one L. Sylvester Vim
cent, Chicago gentleman, who fol
lowed the profession of promoting
enterprises and inventions. Mr.. Vim
cent had been stopping at the Broad
way Central hotel He was described
as a gentleman of impressive bear
ing and rare charms of converse
ton. Mr.. Vincent had registered il
the hotel two weeks before the time
when his absence was noted. His no
tel bill was due, and repeated efforts
to present this little matter to Mr.
Vincent's attention disclosed tn
fact that he had not been in hi
rooms since Monday night. An eX
animation of his effects revealed
much frayed evening suit, a small
collection of unwashed linen, tn
prospectus of a plan for ship Ca
nal connecting Pittsblrg with LAX
Erie, and pocket dictionary.
In the light of much greater event
the fate of L. Sylvester Vincent mad
so feeble a flicker that it was un
noticed by the great reading public

plant, but without deriving permanent
relief. Often when alone in the house
the backache has been so bad that it
brought tears to my eyes. The pain
at times was so intense that was com.
PEELED to give up my household duties
and lie down. There were headaches,
dizziness and blood rushing to my head
to cause bleeding at the nose. The
first box of Doan's Kidney Pills bene

treatment. The singing pain in the
small of my back, the rushes of blood
to the head, and other symptoms dis
appeared.
