We'll. well,"- he began slowly.
"Sit down." interrupted Kayton with
a hospitable wave of his hand toward
the chair where Mrs. Martin had sat.
But Mr.. Hurley did not Immediately
avail himself of the offer. His lips had
gone dry, and he moistened them be-
fore he asked;
"Ah! Who is it? Who is it?"
"Sit down and I'll tell you," replied
Kayton lightly. The lawyer slowly
sank into the chair. never taking his
eyes OF Kayton's face. The latter
swung his chair around so as to direct-
ly face his visitor.
'Mr. Hurley" he inquired pleasantly,
did you ever try a lawsuit?"
Mr.. Hurley started and stammered
slightly as he answered:
''Tm-er-Tm an Office lawyer"
"Oh!' murmured Kayton. He eyed
the lawyer, and the lawyer stirred I'M
easily.
"Mr. Hurley" asked the detective
| quietly. when did it first occur to you
( that Mr.. Argyle was out OF his mind?"
Mr.. Hurley raised his eyes and met
| the detectives squarely.
| II don't get yOu," he said slowly.
"You WILL" was the grim assurance.
'You surely didn't think you'd interest
a man in his position-a millionaire
in a scheme for promoting countessslt-
! ing if he was in his right mind"
! Mr.. Hurley was silent for moment,
but he no longer looked disconnected.
He knew now why he had been
brought TO Kayton's Office. He gripped
himself to fight for his life.
"Any business affairs that Mr.. Argyle
intrusted to me were private and con-
fidential," he said, very deliberately.
II can't discuss them. Mr.. Kayton,
you forget that am lawyer"
81 don't forget It'll don't believe it,"
retorted Kayton.
Mr. Hurley achieved an excellent ap-
pearance of righteous anger suppressed.
"What do you mean?" he demanded.
Kayton handed him the last page OF
the fake confession.
do you know that signature?" he
inquired. With a hand that trembled
not the slightest the lawyer adjusted
his eyeglasses and studied the docu-
ment
"As you saw in the morning papers,"
continued Kayton grimly, "before you
packed your bag, we arrested your
friends last night and confiscated all
their counterfeit money-all except the
500 bill that had been left with Mr..
Argyle. l advised Mrs. Martin to do
what she could for herself by making

she knew them, and you'll be sorry to
hear that her confession OF what &C.

As if he had paid but scant attention
to Kayton's words. the lawyer tossed
the paper back ON to the desk.

all fake-to protect herself"

Among the Churches.
METHODIST CHURCH

We had good services last Sun. day. These services might have been better attended, and more people should receive the benefits of the gospel of Christ, but there is no way to compell the people to be regligious, and all the church and the ministry can do is to give the people a chance, and then if they will not. it is simply up to them, the Lord will take care of his own in the end. The people should wait on the Lord, if it is a vain or trivial thing to wait on the Lord in the way of worship, then the Lord himself is a force, and our holy religion is a mockery and a sham. Therefore we are admonished to wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, l say on the Lord.
 The mid-week prayer meeting should be attended by all people who love God and have the christians hope in their hearts. By this they would prove to the people of the world, that they really have the religion that they claim to have.
 Sunday school next Sunday at the usual hour, 9.45, a. m. be- ginning promptly on time. Preaching at II a. m.--Subject, The Restitution of All Things"
 At night, the choir will give a special Easter song service. This choir has some of the finest voices to be found anywhere, and they are well trained under the proficient direction of Brother J. T. Black, and the public may expect a very rare treat in the rendition of some choice music next Sunday night, beginning at 7;30 sharp.
