 That night he paced the floor of his room, dreaming Of gold and of blood
 So the next morning when John Dorr fared forth on bis quest for the rug pcddler Harry WiEersou was not far behind him. watching his every move, studying him. trying to read what was in his mind And au with the great question before him

 While these two were seeking for the strange image of am unknown god there was a third who had found in it the goal of his life's toll.
 When God conceals himself from us in time of stress and agony. when he has closed his brazeu heavens and our prayers die in the empty afr it is hu man tO build for ourselves tangible God, one whom we can see and feel into whose face we can look and be- fore whose feet we can lay our offer ings and our petitions.
 In a far city in India men had died of famine. The earth had turned to iron under their blows and thp heavens to brass above them
 They had impior,1 a hundred gods for help and mllc Offerings at thou sand shrincs. There hHd been uJ re- spouse The smoke or the bduius ghats by thc side of che shrunken riv- er told the sorry tale of prayer unan- lwercd

 And this dreamer. as do au who fol- low a vision made h.s dream into a god.

 "How can We believe in sod whom we cannot suef" they cried.

 Thus. aith the folk believing on the god of his vision, the prophet prayed also Co tha spirit of the deity, and the rains came from the hills, and Che riy- CT rose, and the earth grew green.
 When they bad been saved and their stomachs were ruu the people went away and left tho prophet alone with his god and his deserted shrine
 Yet always in time of trouble and stress they remembered the god who had savcl them and returned Go his worship, so that in season other proph- cis of him arose and erected a temple and taught che people to bring offer ines at ull times
 Thus Che ima-c became thc image of the utc.ary deity oi Che city and ifs river with other images to do him homage and ohcy hs commands

 Tho first places they visited gave up no information of value. The third pawnbroker looked at Dorr curiously when he asked whether q man had been i'm to dispose of an idol
 "That thing seems Co be wanted pret- ty much,' he remarked. But l bought it in good faith and sold it to a Hindu little while after for a rug. Maybe you would like to buy a rugT'
 They made it plain that rugs did not interest them and departed with the poor satisfaction of knowing that the object of their search was in the hands of an unknown wandering peddler of rugs. who was presumably an East h. dian
