WORDS AND DEEDS

As deeds speak louder than
words, so God asks Of thee work as
well as words, and more. He asks
Of thee works first and words after. !
And better it is to praise him truly
by works without words than false
ly with words without works. :

CndJ merton ldQ secured through an
swering an advertisement calling for
a writer and compiler. 1t had led him
to apply at bachelors quarters in
high-clasS apartment house, There
he had been set at work by Mr.. Will
liam Worthington. After working for
him for week Merton knew no more
as to his business or connections
than on the first day of his engage
ment. His work comprised going
over many volumes and newspaper
clippings dealing with statistics on
crime.
81 think Mr.. Worthington is prepar-
ing volume on criminology," Mer-
ton told Eva. HE leaves me to my
work daytime and evenings, gives me
a key to his rooms and his desk and
seems to place absolute trust in me.
Often do not see him for days. Yes
terday he left the city and said he
would be gone for week. He has left
me in entire charge of his apart
ments." '
Merton had certainly been made at
home in his new position. At the re-
quest of Mr.. Worthington he now
slept nights at the room of the latter.
After he had left Eva on that particu-
lar evening he met an old journalistic
friend whom he had not seen for
years, man he very much liked
See here, Hull" spoke Dudley
Cragin, Pm leaving in the morning
Can't you put in the time showing me
around the old clubs we used to go

Reluctantly and from courtesy on
Iy,' Merton agreed to join Cragin at
his hotel an hour later. He went to
Mr.. Worthington's rooms, put his
writing aside, donned his best hat
and tie and prepared to leave to keep
his appointment.
A memory of old time late hours
caused Morton to open a drawer
where he had noticed revolver. He

10 MERTON was OI the TlSh dnu CdreS
lessness involved on the part of his
employer in leaving all this money
in so unprotected situation. He
started to place the money in the
safe. Then whimsical idea came in
to his mind He was inclined to make
show of prosperity with Cragin,
who now lived in his home town. Mer-
placed the money in his pocketbook.
I. ''The bills are safer with me than
in that desk drawer" he reasoned. 81
will masquerade as Croesus for one
evening at least!'
That evening was rather bore and
a burden to Merton. This was because
there was some drinking in the liter
airy clubs they visited. In this Merton
did not partake and was not in har-
mony with the old-time revelry. He
saw that his reformation produced
good impression on Cragin, and as he
flashed the one hundred dollar bills
promiscuously Merton was assured
that he would be reported on the road
to wealth, and smiled whimsically
over the idea.
1t was after he had reached the
Worthington apartments that he
made a dismaying and fearful discov-
cry. His pocketbook was gone. Lost
or stolen, it was out of his possession,
and
Ruin! disgrace! perhaps arrest! All
night long he tossed on sleepless
bed He wandered the streets aimless- !
ly all that day. At eventide, wretched/
haggard, desperate, he went to Eva
and told her all the truth.
She was only sorrowful. The ques-
ton of replacing the lost money was
the course honorable, inevitable. She
made Merton draw his savings from
the bank, she added enough of her
own to make up one thousand dollars.
Then Merton purchased ten new one
hundred dollar bills and placed them
in the desk drawer.
