drowsy to notice such details as the dinerence between voices, especially if they were those of foreigners. Perhaps if explained that was not the person who had said he would come again. but another, the man behind the window would consider me a complication, and refuse to let me pass at such an hour, without fuss. And of all things. fuss was what I least wanted-for Maxtne's sake, and because of the treaty. de- cided to seize upon the advantage that was offered me.

 On each of the fiooFs below there had been a dim liRht---a jet of gas turned low. But the fifth floor was in dark ness. Someone had put out the light, either in carelesspess or for some spec ial reason.
 There were several doors on each side of the passage, but could not be sure that I had reached the right one until I'd lighted a match. When l was sure, l knocked, but no answer came.

 After all, he had gone out, but per haps only for a short time. Surely. he would soon come back, lest he should miss the keeper of the diamonds
 I had very little hope that even on the chance of my coming while he was away. he would have left the door open. Nevertheless I tried the handie and to my surprise, 1t yielded.

The paternal spirit pervades Deu- teronomy. It is the death-bed address of wisely ambitions, intensely affec- donate father. Pathetic solemnity is there, too.
 The intent of Moses in, this last dis course was realized. No other portion of Scripture has been so widely and permanently Influential upon the He- brew character and career. Part of 1t is considered the holy of holies of their Scriptures, has been bound upon nitl- Hons of foreheads. nailed upon millions of door-posts, and is repeated. morn ing and evening, In the daily ritual in every land where there is a syna- gogue or a Hebrew home.
 But as the sympathy of Moses swept beyond his countrymen to embrace the human race so the influence of his swan-song is felt throughout the world and in each succeeding generation. Jesus himself quotes it as the very epitome of both law and Gospel. Moses, Jesus and Paul. each afiirms that the end of the commandment is love out of pure heart.

 Deuteronomy signifies the second law. The rabbis called it the itera- tion," the Saxons "the after law" It is an evangelical hortatory recapitula- tion. It bears about the same rela- tion to the preceding four books as Johns to the preceding three Gospels. It strikes the same key as the Epistle to the Hebrews Luther says of it.: "Thou wilt give this little book the right name if thou shalt call it very

 ample and clear revelation of the Ten Commandments"
 Place, time, circumstances of utter ing these words are affecting in the last degree. Moses, the unique and towering character, speaks to them just when his glorious life-work IS done, and his hearers on the eve of enter ing the land of honey and milk, 70 which he had led them. He will fain soIemnly and lovingly put the nation uhder bond to keep in Canaan the cove nant they made with God at Sinai Deuteronomy is Moses last will ana testament. @ sssaa -h The engraving of p'sus sentiments upon houses Is a custom that prevails to this day. In the quaint English city of Chester. Is the celebrated "God Providence House." In grateful memory of the fact that 1t was the | only house uninvaded by the black | plague, It's owner inscribed across the ambitious gable the sentiment, Gods Providence is mine inheritance.

This was to remind them that Gods eye was on them from above; but in the haste of moving. they forgot their mezusah--their ssc- red talisman.
 The letter kills Moses probably did not intend that they should literally wear parchments on their foreheadf and hands, and tack them on theil door-posts. In so doing they were i'm itating a custom which Wilkinson shows us prevailed in ancient Egypt You can find to this day door-tambi carved with royal ovals.

 The large double doors, from which the paint had peeled in patches. were closed, but rang the bell for the con- eierge; and after a delay of several minutes, I heard slight click which meant that the doors had opened for me.

 The best thing was to get the treaty back. without second of delay. As for the detective. who was perhaps waiting for me at the hotel. he would have to wait longer. or even go away disgusted--nothing made much differ encs now. Maybe. when once had the treaty in my hands, might send a messenger with a few cautious words to Maxine. No matter how late the hour. she was certain not to be asleep.
 The cab l had seen crawling through the street had disappeared long ago, and no other was in sight, so 1 walked quickly on, hoping to md one present. ly. It was now so late. however, that Tn this quiet part of Paris no carriages oi any sort were plying for hire.

 A few minutes more or less ought not to matter much, since "J. M" was sure to be awaiting me with impa- tience; therefore the thing whicn potn- cred me most was the enect llAciy to 0c produced on the man when l could moi hand him over the diamonds In ~ex' change for the treaty.
 Of course didn't believe that "J.

MOSES PLEADING WITH ISRAEL.
 Moses displayed a persistency, heroic and glorious. His purpose was to pluck Israel. out of Egypt and plant him in Canaan. With Paul, he might have said: This one thing l do." From 1t nothing could divert him. The hardness of Pharaoh's heart; the dam gers of the wilderness, great and ter rible;'s the obstinacy of the HSbrews; self Interest in the opportunity to be the progenitor of new w-nation--all alike failed to defect him from his holy intent. For forty years, through vicissitudes unparalleled, he kept the end in view.
 The secret of it was, he knew the mind of God. More than any who had preceded him, even Abraham himself, he understood the purpose of Provi- dence in the election of Israel With entire self-abandon, he devoted him self to the realization of Gods plan. He was patriotic to the point of being willing to be plotted out of the Book of Life, if only Israel might be saved. But he was more than patriotic. His sympathy was as wide as humanity. He saw in Israel Gods almoner of salvation to a lost race. He recoB- nized himself as a type of that Mes siah-prophet afterward to be raised up, which should guide, not Abraham's sons alone, but all the sons of men, into the heavenly Canaan.
 The time of his departure is at hand. He will fain conserve his life-work. He will project his influences beyond his mortal life. There upon the threshold, and in full view of the good land he may not himself enter, before he lays down at once his work and his lifes he summons up the unspent resources of his splendid personality, and pours them forth in historic re- sume. in accommodation of laws and statutes--fervid exhortations to obedi- ence to the same--reaching theNclimax in a golden psalm, than which even the poetic epoch of the nation produced nothing finer

equally black agnosticism and atheism of our day. Hear it! Jehovah is. He Is one!
 God has always governed by sys- tenn of rewards and punishments. If his people would obey his law, it would be well with them, and they would in- crease in the milk-and honey land. But He led them to look through these tenn poraf rnercies to the richer benefits of grace. Abraham plainly showed that he sought a better Canaan than the one God had given him.
 Religion. under the old dispensation even, was a matter of the affectionai nature. The law was to be in the heart. With the heart man believeth. The commandments are kept because we love him who gave them.
 Subtle danger lies in prosperity. The sudden possession of well-furnished houses. wells. vineyards, orchards. may make us forget tho real source of our prosperity.
 Fear is a wholesome element in re- ligion, a sacred, flial awe of God It is almost eliminated. That is one thing that helps make our current religion such a hush
 God jealous. That is an accommoda- tton of human language. The emotion Of the divine heart expressed by that word is appropriate to the divine na- ture. Gods jealousy is the "shadowed side" of His love. It Is the strongest possible expression of His sensitiveness when His love is not Eequited.
