did you ever see a man cross the
room with such a funny, catlike
stridef He walks as If he had cush-
ions on his feet"
We mounted to the third flight;
then turned into Ahmad's room. My
admiration for Freeman increased
nightly when l saw him in action.
Il was impossible to imagine a more
complete search.
IF there's murder, there's bound
to be blood" he said. Nothing is
so convincing to a court as a garment
with blood on It, He's been kept
pretty busy since the murder, and
I don't believe he'd have time to dis
pose of all his things. That's the
chance I'm playing for"
But evidently Ahmad Das had fore
seen this contingency. The detective
searched swiftly for twenty minutes;
then paused to wipe the little beads
Of Precipitation from his lean face.
TITS no use," he said. mo clews
worth finding"
He started toward the door
There's one place you haven't search
ed at ALL" told him.
"Where?" He turned in amaze
ment.
THAT drawer full of linen"
pointed to a drawer in the dresser.
Il glanced into 1t. He wouldn't put
1t in such an obvious place as that
Even Ahmad Das wouldn't be that
much of a fool"

Perhaps, Inspector Freeman, you
have never heard of M. Dupin2"
Inspector Freeman stopped to con-
slider
His names slipped my mind" he
confessed.
IN. Dupin was a very famous de-
tective-a Frenchman. A very great
American wrote about him long ago."
ooh, you mean story-book de-
tective," Freeman scorned. Pm glad
to say I've never wasted my time
reading such truck. None of 'em
were ever practical. Practical men
are the go nowadays. The time they
wasted in theories and talk"
yet sometimes their theories came
out right Mr.. Dupin would have
been the first to tell you that for the
very reason that you would think
that drawer too obvious a place for
a man to hide a garment it would be
the very place an astute criminal
would hide it, He would know in
advance that you wouldn't look there,
and therefore it would be a good
place. He proved it with the story of
a stolen letter, hidden among packet
of other letters, in plain sight"
"It's all right in books; but it don't
work out in life," Freeman comment
ed.
OF course | knew that as a whole
he spoke the truth. But 1t had be-
gun to dawn on me that Freeman

was capable of such exultation. His
eyes actually seemed to glisten; and
a high color suffused his lean, dark
face. | thought of a hound hot upon
the trail.
Its the final proof" he cried.
We'll get him now. I'll wiring a con-
fession out of him"
Then both of us drew up sharply.
"Ahmad is coming into his ROOM
| whispered. For l was sure that the
faint sound had heard had been the
fall of Ahmads light feet in the
corridor.
Both of us instinctively braced our
selves. We didn't know what frenzy
of desperation we would have to face
if Ahmad saw us with that condemn
ing evidence in our hands. A long
moment dragged away.
Then Freeman stole to the door,
He looked up and down the corridor.
Must have been a rat" he ex-
claimed.
Rather noisy for a rat"
Maybe the wind. But we'd better
get out of here. He'll come back any
moment"

me with a little amazement.
Then we crept down the stairs. He
took the shirt into the room that had
been given to him for his use; and
rejoined me in the library.

His face was clouded. Little
wrinkles were Pickering between his
eyes. | waited for him to explain.

UP in the hospital with bump as big
as an egg over one eye where billy

been so. It's a queer thing; yet |
felt that way when | was going to
my room just now. The noise we
heard in the corridor seemed to bear
it out. But it isn't Ahmad. I stole
out and took look at him. His

A Pastors Reward

We are not thinking Of the pastors
salary nor his pecuniary income for
service rendered; that is in many
cases very meager. Nevertheless
there are rewards that makes the
pastors life a most blessed one. 9th
ers may experience a part of that
JOY, in the church work, but no one
like the pastor.
One reward is the microscopy
prayers OF his Pensioners. The
apostle Peter was in prison, bound
and guarded. But his congregation
was gathered in a private home and
prayed for him. His chains were
loosed, and the door to the prison
opened, and he left the prison a free
a Many a time, when the pastor
has felt discouraged or in some way
or other has been tempted, or felt
the need of courage to stand fear
less and faithful, he has experienced
the helpful power of the prayers of
the Christian members of his con-
%gregation.
Another reward is the intimate
friendship that binds the pastor to
the Christian members of his flock.
! There is a mutual good feeling estab-
lished between the pastor and those
that he has been permitted to bap-
tie, confirm, unite in marriage, COM
fort on the sick and deathbed. The
pastor lives himself into the lives Of
his members. By his associations
giving spiritual aid in spiritual
difficulties. He comes in close touch
with his people and they are being
mutually enriched thereby. Even
though the pastor moves away this
good feeling established continues.
A pastor considers himself very rich
in true friendship.
| might mention another reward,
the greatest of them all. The apostle
James says: "He which converteth a
sinner from the error Of his way
shall save a soul from death, and
shall cover a multitude of sins
(James 5,20.) Even though we do
not see the fruits Of our labors we
know that Gods Living Word has
power over the hearts of men. When
conviction is assured, the weak are
strengthened and the lost brought
back, then there is JOY, not only in
heaven, out also IN lnS pastor )
heart. These rewards make the
pastor lie wonderfully rich and
blessed IN spite of the great re-
sponsibility.
After the service in Comertown
Sunday forenoon we were the guests
at the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. l.. Rostad, where we enjoy
ed a very delicious dinner. In the al
.ernon we conducted service in the
Pleasant Valley church, where we
preached to a fine audience. In the
evening we closed the day with a SER
vice at Westbv.
In His Service,
