But on this particular evening the
detective proved wrong. They reached
Maxim's without mishap, they enjoyed
an excellent dinner, during which the
American showed himself to be born
conversati0nalist, as we'll as a shrewd
man of the world. And over the, cof-
fee and liquors Hugh gave him brief
outline Of what had taken place since
he first got mixed up In the affair.
The American listened In silence,
though amazement shone on his face
as the story proceeded. Only when
Hugh had finished, and early arrivals
for supper were beginning to fill the
restaurant, did he sum up the matter
as he saw 1t.

CHAPTER VlII-contInued.


At first he had expected some trick,
being a person Of tortuous brain; but
as time went on, and nothing unex-
pected happened, he became assured.
His orders were to follow the mil
iIonaire, and inform headquarters
where he was taken to. And assured
ly at the moment 1t seemed easy mon
ey. Then, quite suddenly, the hum
ming stopped and he frowned. The
car in front had swung or the road,
and turned through the entrance of a
small airdrome. What the devil was
he to do now1 Most assuredly he
could not pursue an airplane on mo-
tor-even a racer. Blindly, without
thinking, he did the first thing that
came into his head. He left his car
standing where II was, and followed
the others into the aIrdrome OH foot.
Perhaps he could find out something
from one of the mechanics; someone
might be able to tell him where the
plane was going.
There she was with the car beside
her, and already the millionaire was
being strapped into his seat Drum
mond was talking to the pilot, and
the sleuth, full Of eagerness, accosted
a passing mechanic.
"Can you tell me where that air
plane Is going TOT" he asked ingrati-
atingly.
1t was perhaps unfortunate that the
said mechanic had just had a large
spanner dropped on his toe, and his
answer was not helpful. 1t was an
education in one way, and at any 9TH
er time the pursuer would have treat
ed It with the respect II deserved.
But, as 1t was, It was unfortunate
that Peter Darrell should have chosen
that moment to look round. And all
he saw was the mechanic talking ear
nestly to the sleuth. :. Where
upon he talked earnestly to Drum
mond.
In thinking II over after, that I'M
happy sleuth whose job had seemed so
easy. found 1t difficult to say exactly
what happened. All of a sudden he
found himself surrounded by people
all very affable and most CONVERSE
tional. It took him quite five minutes
to get back to his car, and by that
time the plane was speck In the
west. Drummond was standing by
the gates when he got there, with a
look Of profound surprise on his face.
Zone have seen often" remarked
the soldier: 'two sometimes: three
rarely; four never. Fancy four pune
tures-all at the same time Dear,
dearl ] positively insist on giving
you a lift"
He felt himself irresistibly propelled
toward Drummond's car. with only
time for fleeting glimpse at his own
four fiat tires, and almost before he
realized 1t they we're away. And II
was then that the man he had thought
mad laughed gently.
"Is It all right, Peter2" Hugh asked.
"All safe" came a voice from he
hind.
"Then dot him onel"

stars OF all colors which danced be-

meet from day to day. What we need
most is quletness and poise OF heart
and mind In order to live comfortably
ourselves and to keep us In such con-
dition as will make us blessing 10
our fellows. Too often we go from
day TO day with our restlessness grow
ing more and more pronounced until
our nerves become affected and life Is
made burden. We need something
which will sOothe the nerves, quiet
the restlessness, and give us the peace
of God in exchange for the disquieted
spirit within us, That something" Is
found in considering the Lord Jesus
Christ.
The second reason is our powerless-
ness. We expect to do great things
for Him, but somehow we fail again
and again. We wonder why we are so
weak to combat sin In our own lives,
to say nothing of being blessing for
the lives of others. The reason Is
that so many times we are occupied
with ourselves and our, resources In
stead of with Him and His resources.
There is no lack with Him and the
one who would be strong to do ex-
plolts In His name must constantly
heed the exhOrtation of our text and
be occupied with Him. ITO look at
Him again and again." as the word
the text really means, will be found
to be the secret of freedom from both
our restlessness and our powerless-

anything strike you particularly with

The detective glanced across the
lounge.

a short inspection.

TEXT.-consider Him lest ye
be wearied and faint In your minds.-Heo,
2:A
There are two outstanding reasons
for considering Him, two outstanding
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1921-09-16
Two Requirements.

The first requirement is full reliance
upon the Holy Spirit. 1t Is His Office
TO reveal Christ to our hearts at all
times. None but the Holy Spirit can
do this for us and we must constantly
rely upon Him to fulfill the purpose
for which He was given. when He.
the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will
guide you into all truth, for He shall
not speak of Himself; but whatsoever
He shall hear that shall He speak:
and He will show you things to come.
He shall glorify me; for He shall re-
ceive of mine and shall show IL unto
you. All things that the Father hath
are mine: therefore said /, that He
shall take of mine and shall show It
unto you."-John 16:13-15.
. The second requirement Is media
ton on the word of God. The only
way the Holy Spirit can perform His
work Is through the Word. The reason
why we know so little concerning
Christ is because we spend so little
time over the Bible. The only me-
dium the Holy Spirit employs to re-
veal Christ to the waiting heart Is the
Scriptures. Search the Scriptures,
for In them We think We have eternal
life: and they are they which testify
Of me."-John $3.50. Nowhere else
but in the Bible Is found the full
revelation of Christ, and no one else
but the Holy Spirit can show Him unto
us. We need therefore before all else
to be In daily meditation upon the
Word. In full reliance upon the Holy
Spirit to take of the things Of Christ
and show them unto US.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1921-09-16
Two Results.

From the above program the first re-
salt will be a growing likeness to
Christ. As we mediate upon the Word
from day to day there will come to US
an increasing desire TO know more Of
Christ. This desire the Holy Spirit
will satisfy and with the satisfaction
will come, perhaps all unconsciously
to ourselves. an increasing transforma-
ton into the character of the Lord
Jesus. There will be need OF much
patience, but the result Is sure. ave
all with open face beholding as In a
glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from
glory to glory. even as by the Spirit Of
the Lord."-II Cor. 3:1S.
The second result will be the trans
formation of our service into some
thing akin to that which Jesus Him.
self rendered. With our restlessness
gone, our powerlessness exchanged for
His strength, with full reliance upon
the Holy Spirit. and with our daily
meditation upon the Word, there will
come to US a new ability beyond any
thing we ever knew, and the service
which perchance had become irksome
win be turned into a joyous delight
above all other things our hearts find
pleasure In. We will go forth not
merely with the desire to serve, but
with a quiet confidence OF having the
power to serve acceptably. and we
win fulfill our Lords purpose for US
