WRITES ON CONSCIENCE
Memorial Christian Church Speaker
in Sermon Holds There Is No
Escape from Penalties.

BE sure your sin will find you out, /"
was the text of DR.. H. o. Breeden's
sermon last evening at Memorial
Christian church "Sin has it's pleas
ures or men would not commit sin, -
said Dr. Breeder in opening his SER
mon, on the Exposure of Sim
"Sia leaves it's scars upon the body
and soul. Sin will find you out Sin
spells death. Sin-will not down. Sin
doth murder sleep. Sin is like pappies
spread. Sin sinks a man TO the days
of his yellow leaf A sinful body car
ries a dead soul. A sinful soul ulti-
mately means a dead body"
These were the ep graa-S that fell
from the lips of DR.. Breeder as he set
forth the truth of the inevitable fact
that the whole process of nature tends
TO expose sin. The law of nations, he
said, are made to bring it TO light;
human nature is so constructed that
sin exposes itself upon the counte-
nances of men and if by soma chance
the knowledge of sin escapes the viglIs
of law, or is not written on the fea-
lures Of the sinner. it nevertheless
writes itself upon the conscience
There is no escape from the penalty
of sin save in the new life in Christ.
WORD HAS Missy SOUND.
DR. Breeder closed his sermon with
these words. Sin is a word OF Only
three letters, small word in our Ian
guage, and yet a word that is filling
our prisons, jails. hospitals auG asy-

visited a place. Though the Red
Cross car is primarily designed for
instruction purposes, it will also al
ways be available when needed for
rescue work and care of injured in
cases of disaster as 1t is fully equip
ped for this purpose.
1t is, perhaps, not generally realiz-
ed how large a percentage of deaths
are now due to accident In fact,
in certain industries deaths from dis
ease are absolutely Insignificant in
numbers as compared with those
from accident.
DEATHS FROM ACCIDENTS.
For example. in the registration
area which now includes about 55
per cent of the population of the
United States, the 1909 census sta
tistics charge to accident 67.9 per
cent of all deaths among steam rail-
way employees between the ages of
rs and "a The next hazardous oc-
cupation as shown by these statistics
is that OF miners and quarrymen
taken together, in which accidents
are responsible for 61.3 per cent of
all deaths at the same ages. Iron
and steel workers have 2S.1 per cent
and the rate for all manufacturing
and mechanical pursuits taken to-
gether at the same ages is 21.9 per
cent. These are the people which
the Red Cross is trying to reach in
a practical way by means of it's first
aid car.

away from the yachts side with no
idea that she was running into any
possible danger.
1t was half a mile, perhaps, from
the yacht to the particular bit Of
shelving beach toward which she ID
consciously propelled the boat. She
rowed steadily, without so much as
a glance over her shoulder, until she
felt the CRATE Of the single beneath
the bow.
She became aware, not only that
she had unconsciously come ashore,
but also that the yacht was nowhere
to be een A bank of fog had come
rolling in from the eastward, so
heavy as to render an object 100
PAGES away totally invisible. The
clump Of empty buildings here on the
beach could hardly be half that dis
lance, as she remembered, yet looking
round from her seat in the row boat,
she could make out no more than
their blurred masses against the white
ice and sand which surrounded them.
She scrambled out of the boat and
pulled 1t high up on the beach. The
fog made the air seem cold, though
for the arctic it was a mild night.
Two of the abandoned buildings on
the beach behind her were mere
sheds, windowless, absolutely bare,
never having served, evidently, any
other purpose than that Of storage.
But the third, and largest, as she re-
membered it, offered a shelter that
was becoming attractive. There were
some rude hunks in 1t where she
could rest comfortably enough; and,
unless she was mistaken, Scales had
left in the hut a half-burned candle
which they had used in exploring It's
dark interior. She had a box of wax
vestas in her pocket. She could go in
there and make herself at home, and
at the same time keep an alert ear
for a hail from the yacht.
She found the candle In the place
where she remembered Scales had
laid 1t down, struck a light and
wedged the candle into a knot-hole
She turned toward one Of the hunks
with the idea Of stretching out there,
and by relaxing her muscles, persuade,
perhaps, her overstrung nerves to re-
lax, too.
She had taken a step toward it, in
deed, before she saw, through the
murk and candle smoke, the thing that
lay right before her eyes-a rather
large, brass-bound rosewood box or
chest. 1t had not been here in the
afternoon when they had entered the
place, for they had searched its bare
interior thoroughly in the hope that
there might be something which previ-
GUS Investigators had overlooked. This
box, six inches high and a foot long,
or more, could not have been here
then. 1t was standing now In the most
conspicuous place in the room-in the
very middle of the bunk.

love have for you-the old love-or
not, Tom, but unless you're very care
full, you'll succeed in doing it. don't
think l want to talk to you any
NOR now, not even sit here beside
you. I'm going to take a little walk"
He held himself rigidly until till she
had disappeared round the end Of the
d%eckhouse. Then he bent we and
buried his face in his hands!
What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious of no sound,
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him in amazement. 1t had grown
quite dark. 1t must be two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take a little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
first, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound of his
voice, There was no sign that any
sentient thing, except his very self,
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder.
The steps were rather difficult to
negotiate, but by using both hands
to supplement his one good foot, he
succeeded in creeping down them, and
then in making his way along the cor
ridor to the girls door.
He knocked family at first; then
louder, and finally cried out her name
again, this time in genuine alarm. He
tried the door, found that it was not
locked, and opening it and switching
on a light, perceived that the state
room was empty.
He heard footsteps crossing the
deck overhead. No, that could not be
Jeanne; 1t was a heavy tread, a curl
Gus, shutting tread.
He closed the door behind him.
Then he limped slowly down the cor
rider toward the foot of the compan-
ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.

And then, the man or beast had,
with beastlike Quickness, lifted his
arm and struck. And Tom Fanshav

guessed what their intent was, guessed
that it was something sinister, it was

him going backwards over the brink
Of a fissure in the ice, Juggling at a
dart that was in his throat. And
when they had gone-his murder

"They?" she cried. WAS there
more than one?"
Yes he said, there was a party.
There must have been ten or twelve
at least. When they had gone l flew
down and picked up that stick, which
one of them had dropped-And to
think l might have saved him!"
Her hand still rested on his arm.
I'm glad you told me-" she said, She
felt the arm stiffen suddenly at the
sound of Tom Fanshaw's voice.
Jeanne, take your hand away! Can
you touch a man like that? Can you
believe the lies" but there, with a
peremptory gesture, his father ST.
fenced him.
But ever he exclaimed at the girls
mex action, for she stopped, picked up
the blood-stained dart which lay at
Philip Cayley's feet, and handed it to
him. Throw 1t away, please"-she
said, overheard, and as far as you
can"
Even before the other men cried
out at his doing the thing she had
asked him to, he hesitated and looked
at her in some surprise,
do 1t, please" she commanded; Il
ask it seriously"
Tom Fanshaw started out Of his
chair; then, as an intolerable twinge
from his ankle stopped him, he
dropped back again. His father moved
quickly forward, too, but checked him
self, the surprise in his face giving
way to curiosity. At a general thing,
Jeanne Fielding knew what she was
about.
Philip Cayley took tho dart and
threw 1t far out into the water,
There was one more surprise in
store for the two Fanshaws. When
Cayley, without a glance toward eth
err of them, walked out on the upper
landing of the accommodation ladder
the girl accompanied him, and, side
by side with him, descended the little
stairway, at whose foot the dinghy
waited.

CHAPTER VII.
The Rosewood Box.


On the girl, Tom F~anshaw's passion
ate, stormy avowal had the effect Of
a sort of moral earthquake. 1t left
the ground beneath her feet suddenly
unstable and treacherous; 1t threaten
ed to bring down about her ears the
whole structure of her life. The very
thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside troubles
and dangers, was, on the instant,
rraught with a greater danger than
any Of them,
For the first few moments after his
avowal she had felt no emotion other
than that Of establishment and in
credulity. Even when he asked her
if she could not marry him, anyway,
though the question revolted her, she
told the truth in saying that she was
not angry.
The anger came later, but it burned
into a fame that was all the hotter
for its hardness in kindling. 1t must
have an outlet somewhere, and as
such, the promenade up and down the
other side of the deck was altogether
insufficient.
The sight Of a small boat at the
foot of the accommodation ladder
seemed TO offer something better. So
pulling on a pair of fur gauntlets, she
dropped into it, cast off the painter
shipped the pair of light oars it con
tanned, and rowed away without any
thought of her destination-of any
destination whatever; without, even
a very clear idea Of what she was do
ing. She must do something; tina
was all she knew. Certainly she pulled

It's quite clear that the brains Of
this expedition are in that pretty
head of yours" he said. Yes, l
think you're right" Then, after a
pause, he added, with an enigmatical
look at her: Don't be too hard OF
Tom, my dear, because you see the
circumstances are hard enough on
him already"
She made a little gesture of i'm
patience. They're not half as hard
on him as they are on Mr.. Cayley."
"Oh, l don't know" the old gentle
man answered. Take it by and
large, l should say that Cayley was
playing in luck"
