was easily done, as her mind was cen
tered upon my ability to help her and
/ could sway 1t GEOGRAPHICALLY as
wished. For that reason she insisted
on leaving you to go back to the hotel

MY astrological figures had shown
me that Miss Foote was very neces-
sary agent in locating McKabes place
of detention. asd also Of saving his
life at the time of their rescue. For
that purpose l gave her a weapon be-
fore l permitted her to go forth to the
fate which called her. had also
learned of the debt Kim Lee owed to
McKabe in saving the life of his son.
I knew that he would never ignore
such Karmic debt, SO that was sure
Of his assistance.
IL came. / presented the debt, and
like soul of honor, he is paying on
| the nail.
His men have today been my ears
and my eyes, as you heard me call
them. From this room they have gone
out, and to this room they will come
back, as one has come already, and
what they shall bring shall enable me
to do what ! desire.
'You think it strange that with a
knowledge of the place where Miss
Foote and McKabe lie imprisoned,
hold my hand from the blow which
and today should have taurht you how
little a wound we inflicted upon them
when we seized the two agents last
night.
Back of those vile Vaccinations
which have robbed homes of their
daughters. have robbed those daugh.
tiers of their birthright of virtue and
unborn children of the God ordained
right to be born Of clean mothers,
there lies an evil brain.
'Tn that brain are held the reins of
control of this local organization. Its
identity Is unknown save to the agents
of his work.
HE moves disguised by a surface
seeming, and lays his snares and sends
his hunters out to capture the victims,
whose barter and sale, to sickness,
lust, and death, keep his pockets filled
with the price of happiness, and pur-
ity, of youth and innocence-of blood
money. Gordon. soul money"
He paused. with eyes flashing and
head uplifted.
And the hour OF such q one draws
near" he resumed in voice which
rang through the apartment.
For that hour hold my hand and
to each other in secret prison. For
that l delay. For that l sit in this
room and send forth the ears and eyes
Of those who can return here and tell
me at what point to seek for the one
who lies in fancied safety and gloats
over the blood stained gold in his
hand-to whose ears no cry of MANNED
souls has meaning-for whose eyes no
sight of blasted lives, of ruined beau
ty, of suffering flesh has any power of
compassion.
And at that hour l shall strike
my hand shall be the hammer which
strikes the hour of his debt of Kar.

"Bravo!" Grief the voice Of the
merchant. You shall strike as the
hammer of God"
1t was all clear at last. I saw it.
While / chafed for a minor victory
in the matter Dual had been planning
to strike not puny, but a more or
less crushing blow against the power
of evil he fought.
remembered once before when he
had held his hand in similar fashion,
in case involving murder itself, in
order to snare the master mind of the
justice of his deeds.
The hammer of God, yes" said
Dual slowly. 1.-THE hammer of Eter-
nal Justice, the hammer-the agent.
1t is divine privilege, Kim Lee, to be
an agent of that justice which the
Power of Life has deoreed must be.
1t is the one thing in life which still
thrills me deeply.
AT such times feel the nearness
Of that Spirit of Love which ordains
the rounds of the planets, and holds all
life on its hands. At such times I
feel that my spirit Is open to the sun
OF that Spirits approval, as a flower
Is flooded by the orb of day. At such
times I feel myself in harmony with
the Infinite, indeed"
He paused again and controlled his
temporary flash of emotion.

learned the lesson of impassivity," he
said. This alone can shake me back
to those other days when lesser things
could move me as this does.
Enough. When the hour shall
approach, Glace and ] and the man
with the eyes of a hawk, who sits in
the anteroom yonder, shall go out
from here and walk-three Orientals

truth is stronger than lies"
