How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect Of man gits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his courtenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet Of
OLD in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning brush. The
soul Of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.

Senor Rodriguez, fifty thousand dol

four payments of similar sums. This
gold was to have been shipped to Phil

steamer for Venezuela"
Mr.. Grimm nodded.
".'he fact that this gold was in
Senor Rodiguez's possession could not

down.

In addition to this weight of, say

person, or persons, who got it must
have gone away from here heavily

Senor Rodriguez nodded
And now, Senor," Mr.. Grimm con-
tinued, "if you will kindly state the
circumstances Immediately preceding
