membered that Mrs. Hawley had in
structed her to leave the back door
key at home that day and to let her
self in at the front door with the key
which she would find under the car
pet on the first step Of the stairway
which led to the third floor.
Stopping just long enough to catch
her breath and to deposit her packages
on the refrigerator outside the kitchen
door, Gunhilda made her way dowV
again and around the building to the
front, where she found the key as di-
rected and let herself in.
That was just ten minutes before
Mrs. Hawley came home. During
these ten minutes Gunhilda's voice
was lifted up in walls that brought
the inmates Of several other fats to
inquire who was being murdered.
TLe cause Of these walls was that
while Gunhilda was on her way from
the back door to the front, some one
had snatched and run away with the
bundles she had left on the refrigera-
tor-precious bundles, one containing
new lingerie waist and the other
dress goods for an Alice blue suit.
"Oh, Mees Hawley it was a so
pretty Aylees blue!" Gunhilda reiter-
ated through her tears. evidently feel
ing that the color lent blackness to the
crime. Il not know this was stealing
place"
There, there, Gunhilda! It's not
stolen. There's some mistake; we
shall find it, Mrs. Hawley spoke
soothingly
After thorough investigation, how
ever, she was almost ready to admit
that Gunhilda might be right. Then
she discovered the laundry bundle
which should have been taken away
that day and went straight to the tele-
phone.
The wagon was still out, she learned
from the laundry. She might call up
again in an hour. Through that hour
Gunhilda's tears flowed copiously.
Wen find your things safe at the
laundry, Gunhilda," Mrs. Hawley kept
answering The man must have come
up and taken them, thinking they were
the soiled clothes put out there for
him..
But when the hour had ended back
came word that no bundle Of any sort
had been collected from the Hawley
fiat that day.
Now, Gunhilda," said Mrs. HaWley,

mination to be understood. listen

THE MISSION CLOSES.
Evangelist Hofstead Two Weeks "
The Methodist Church.

Sunday was the last day Of the Hof-
stead Mission in Green street Mctho-
dist church. There were three services
ut which the evangelist preached. In
the morning his subject was 'Immor-
tality;;" at $50 THE Unspeakahlc Rec
ord" and in the evening The Mis-
understood Christ" Each Of these
subjects was treated with dignity.
with logic and with literary finish. a
splendid audience greeted the speaker
at each service.
In the morning the speaker showed
from philosophy. science and litera-
ture that man believes in immortality.
Then he asked: What kind of immor-
tality ure you thinking about and
working for?" Christ wants to help
you to live worthy an immortality of
Joy and peace, of noble thought and
worthy work.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hofstead de-
c,are1 every man makes a record; ev-
cry mans record will be known to all
the world at last. And then with elo-
QUence, pathos, tenderness and love
the evangelist argued these points and
then told men and women about some
records that had been made by Mac
beth of Shakespeare, Herod Of Holy
Writ Then he went on to show how
memory and conscience constantly fol-
low the guilty soul until at last they
know the world knows and God knows
your record. Then he appealed to all
present to accept the offer of Christ to
come to our aid to make a new record,
one that if all the world knows, if
God knows will bring joy and gladness
to them.
The evening service was in every
way the best and most enthusiastic.
The large chorus choir filled the chan
eel. Mrs. Elmore rendered Gospel solos
which were greatly appreciated. The
singing by the chorus and the congre-
CATION was full of gladness and inspi-
ration, so that the preacher faced an
appreciative audience when he an
nounced his subject, THE MiSunder-
stood Christ" He presented his sub
ject in Il mastery way, calling atten-
ton to the fact that the wise and
good men of all the years have been
misunderstood. Socrates. Calico and
Lincoln. but Of all men Christ was
most misunderstood
The Mission has brought peace. JOY
and hope to many homes and hearts.
