of the rich. But hatred gave him wits,
Gave him speed, too. He was only
thirty feet behind Peter Niburg when
that foprish gentleman reached the
corner.
Herman was skilled in certain mat.
tiers. He knew, for instance, that Il
glance into a shop window, halt to
tie a shoe, may be Il ruse for pass
ing q paper to other hands. But Peter
did not stop. He went, not more
swiftly than usual, to his customary
restaurant, one which faced over the
square and commanded a view of the
palace. And there he settled himself
in a window and ordered his dinner.
From the outside Herman stared
in. He lurked in the shadows outside,
and watched.
Peter sat alone, and stared out.
Herman took shelter, and watched.
But Peter Niburg did not see him.
His eyes were fixed on the gloomy
mass across, shot with small lights
from deep windows, which was the
palace.
Peter was calm. He had carried
many such letters as the one now hid
den in his breast pocket. No con-
science stirred in him. If he did
not do this work, others would.
He had until midnight. At that
hour messenger would receive the

week, the messenger waited. Some
times there was letter, sometimes
none. That was all. 1t was amazing

Seeing Peter settled, steaming
platter before him, Herman turned
and hurried through the night. This
which he had happened on was big
thing, too big for him alone. Two
heads were better than one. He
would take advice.
OF the main avenue he fell into a
smart trot. The color came to his
pale cheeks. A cold sweat broke out
over him. He was short of wind from
many cigarettes. But at last he
reached the house.

and the stars and stripes, it was Peter
who had invited the lady to an eve

Mt a definite sum per thrill.
II was Peter, then, who made the
impossible possible, who wore good
clothes and did not have his boots
patched, who went, rumor said, to the
opera now and then, and followed the
score on his own battered copy.
How?
Herman Spier had suspected him OF
many things; had secretly audited his
cash slips; had watched him for sur
reptitious parcels of silk. Once he had
thought he had him. But the package
of Lyons silk, opened by the pro-
prietor at Herman's suggestion, proved
to be material for fancy waistcoat,
and paid for by Peter Niburg's own
hand.
With what? Herman stood con-
fused, even COMPOUNDED, but still
suspicious. And now, this very day,
he had stumbled on something. A
great lady from the court had made a
purchase, and had left, under roll
of silk, a letter. There was no mis-
take. And Peter Niburg had put
away the silk, and pocketed the letter,

shop.

FORE, by which the relation OF
premises and conclusion Is expressed?
A studious reading Of the entire chap
ter gives answer. Following the
Beatitudes and certain well defined
admonitions and precepts, the Lord
made plain the distinction between the
Law under which Israel had pro-
fessedly lived from Moses down. and
the higher requirements of the Cos
pei taught by Christ. Again and again
the Introductory "YE HAVE HEARD
THAT IT WAS SAID BY THEM OF
OLD TINE" is followed by the au-
thoritative but SAY UNTO YOU"
Obedience to the Gospel, which COM
prises all the essentials OF the Law,
was enjoined as the means by which
man may become perfect, even In the
sense in which the Father in heaven
is perfect.
It is a significant fact that when
Jesus Christ, a resurrected and glori-
fed Being, visited the Nephite branch
of the House of Israel on the western
continent, He included Himself with
the Father as the existent ideal OF
perfection, as thus appears: THERE
FORE I WOULD THAT YE SHOULD
BE PERFECT EVEN AS 1, OR
YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN
HEAVEN is PERFECT" CBook OF
Mormon, ; Nephi 12:4S).
The road to exaltation and perfec-
ton is opened through the Gospel Of
Christ. We cannot nationally con-
strue our Lords admonition as imply
ing an impossibility. We are not re-
quired to assume that man in mortal
ity can attain the perfection of an
exalted and glorIfied parsonage. such
as either the Father or Jesus Christ
However. man may be perfect in his
sphere in a way analogous to that of
more advanced intelligences in their
several spheres; yet the relative per-
fection OF the lower is vastly inferior
to that Of the higher. We can con-
ceive of a college freshman attaining
perfection in his class; his record may
be a hundred per cent. on the scale
Of efficiency: yet the honors of the up
per classman are beyond; and gradu-
alton, though to him remote. is as
sured IL he do but maintain his high
standing to the end.
After all, individual perfection is
relative. and must be gagged by the
law operative upon US. In 1892 the

Joseph Smith: AND AGAIN, YER

The law of the Gospel is a perfect
law. and the sure effect of full obedi-
ence thereto is perfection. OF those
who attain exaltation in the celestial
kingdom Christ has declared: /:
