Mr.. Fixft knows the disgraceful
condition of that street. Property
owners have recourse to the treet s
resurfacing law under which the
city pays rs per cent and the
abutting property owners 25 per
cent of the improvement.
Why not agitate a bit to induce
property owners to petition the
board of works for resurfacing?
Dear Mr.. Fixit: have a new side

Center of Life
Here in our lesson we have a fine
picture of a religious and democra-
tic institution developing out of
primitive conditions and needs. The
tabernacle symbonzed the center of
this common life and presence of
God IN the midst OF the people.
It was the tabernacle of the con-
gregation."
True, the people did not assemble
there, but when Moses went out
unto the tabernacle all the people
rose up and stood every man at his
tent door" Thus the tabernacle be

common life in worship and aspira.
ton.
We should note that this worship
found expression in the quest of
guidance. The mind of Moses was
full of the idea and the responsible
ity of leadership. The leadership of
Moses, however, was not a matter
of ambitious domination or a desire
fer rule. He shrank from his re.
spopsibilities with the sense of his
weakness and with a prayerful
spirit He wanted strengthening;
he wanted help His prayer to God

The conservation, common sense,
and courage that made Moses a
great leader would make men great
leaders today in proportion as they
shared the forcefulness and ability
of Moses. The people that establish
in their midst a tabernacle of the
living God and for whom this tab
bernacle is a center and symbol of
devotion, are in the way of true
progress.

OW GO ON WITH THE STORY
80 CHAPTER xxx

Detective Mott promised himself a
profitable afternoon, as he APP
preached the Heath house for the ex-
press purpose of grilling the serv-
ants.
He had his suspicious and his
theories pretty we'll in shape, he told
himself, but he needed corroboration
and also hoped to get sidellghts on
certain aspects of the tragedy.
He passed the two men whom he
saw talking on the veranda and
went on around to the rear entrance.
Herrick admitted him, and with an
air of Importance, the detective en-
sconced himself in the servants sit
ting-room and commanded the butler
to round up the whole staff and
bring them at once.
There were, therefore, five har'
ried and alarmed-looking faces
grouped in front of him, when he
began his inquisition.
He had heard their stories before,
but informed the scared servants
that he believed they had not told
all they knew, and unless they were
prepared to come across with the
whole truth, he limited that there
were vague but not less idle pun
ishments awaiting them.
So frightening was his demeanor
that his auditors, especially the
women, became verbose and even
garrulous.
You never asked me nothing"
exclaimed Mrs. Pierce, the cook, as
IL resentful at being left out of the
game. "And l know lot"
I'll bet you do" said Mott, on
couragingly.
AS a matter of fact, he hadn't
much faith in the value of the cook s
knowledge, for he considered her do
main was entirely outside the fam
ily's living rooms, and he doubted
her opportunities for observation.
But he must leave no stone un-
turned, so he said, with a fine mix
ture of request and commando:
Tell what you know, Pierce, If it
has any bearing on the case"
Bearing on the case, is it? Well,
sir, rather l seen the murderer a
sneakin' down the stairs, in the dead
o'night, to do his murderin'!'
you did?" Motifs attention was
caught at last. "Who was it?"

And him comm along so soft and

did,
AT what time was this?" Mott
held his pencil poised over his note
book. BE careful, now-if you don't
know exactly, say so-don't draw

well, it would be not far from
o'clock, one way or another"
And what were you doing out of
bed at that time of night?"
II was chasin' that Katie. Not
