On, come up, she SAID. Quickly,
pleaser'
An hour later, Forsyth had almost
forgotten the letter from China in
new interest. The new interest was
Helen Lukens.
They found her lodged in a suite
on the top floor of the Grentham,
and not alone. A man stood beside
her, one of those deceptively slow
spoken Englishmen who have so often
demonstrated that they can upon
occasion act more swiftly than they
speak. Preswick introduced Forsyth
to them.
Miss Lukens, this is Mr.. Forsyth"
he said. Forsyth smiled with the sheer
pleasure of looking at her. And
Forsyth, this is Ronald Tennyson of
the British Embassy"
And moment later Miss Lukens
asked eagerly: you had a letter
from my brother, Mr.. Forsyth"
II wrote to him." Forsyth cor
rected. That is, if you refer to Mr..
George Lukens of Wellington. But his
unfortunate death -
Il mean my brother Tom" she
interrupted. She added - her tone
shaken: He was killed in an airplane
accident, on the twelfth of November,
in Shanghai. The report to us was
that he and an acquaintance went up
in Toms plane, and that durmg some
awkward acrobatics by the other pilot,
my brothers belt broke and he fell
out. But we think he mailed letter
to you the day before"
Forsyth said carefully: Il received a
letter which had been mailed from
Shanghai November eleventh, but it
was written or at least it was
signed - by a man named Sending
and addressed to T. L. Sending"
She said: Il know. But we think it
was from my brother. You see -
Toms death was not an accident, Mr..
Forsyth! 1t was - an executionp
Forsyth remembered phrase, The
people are about, but not till night"
He asked soberly: "He was - on
duty?"
YES" she assented. And if he
tried to get letter through, he must
have first succeeded in his task"
Forsyth hesitated. Miss Lukens,"
he said gravely. "A number of people
were named in the letter I received.
At least three of them have since died
- violently" He smiled apologetic-
ally. II think that the less you know
about all this, the safer you will be-"
Her eyes were grateful. but she said:
ut was Toms job. l must help finish
it."
But the signature is always
Sending" Forsyth protested.

He stepped out of the booth to meet
Mr.. Preswick. Here's something"
he said, and told the tale.
Preswick considered. Have you
had this man long? Jose? Sounds
Spanish"
Filipino, l think. He came to
work for me last December l had a
negro man who had been with me for
years, but he disappeared, and this
chap struck me for the job"
did he know you had received this
letter."
mo. 1t came to me here at the
Club" Forsyth added suddenly, But
I've noticed Jose kept an eye on my
mail"
Preswick nodded. "As I under
stand the situation from Miss Lu-
kens," he said gravely, there is no
MIR. Sending Suppose we leave the
letter safely where it is for the present
and go at once to your apartment,
Mr.. Forsyth"
Five minutes later Forsyth and
Preswick took cab, and twenty-five
minutes later they reached Forsyth's
apartment. AS they crossed the lobby,
a man standing at the desk came
toward them and without speech
entered the elevator with them. The
elevator was automatic, so that they
were alone. AS the car began to rise,
the stranger spoke.
mir. Preswick?" he asked. Pres
wick assented. The others are up
stairs" the man explained. I'VE got
here ten minutes ago My names
Royce"
mo one gone out?" Preswick
asked.
mo, sir"
At Forsyth's floor they found three
other men waiting in the corridor.
Forsyth produced his key. Preswick
said gently: LET Royce do that. Mr..
Forsyth"
So Forsyth surrendered the key, and
Royce opened the door; with pistol
in his hand, he stepped into the apart
ment. The Others came on his heels.
Forsyth had written, more than
once, of scenes of violence, of sudden
death. His first reaction now was one
of familiarity. That which lay in a
heap on the floor was so exactly as he
had imagined it; curiously shrunken
and collapsed as though, when life
went out of a body, it left the body
wrinkled like half-deflated balloon.
He was interested to notice that he
was not afraid, nor shaken in any
way; he felt no emotion at all. His
senses were intensely acute, his eye
recording everything.
Then Preswick turned the dead
mans face upward for Forsyth to see.
Jose" he suggested.
Forsyth nodded. 1t was Jose. Pres
wick stood up and Forsyth asked:
What did they do to him?'
HE did it himself" Preswick ex-
planned. Ripped himself open with a
carving knife. Sat there cross-legged
;" He shook his head, said, almost
with sympathy: II suppose he was
sent to intercept the letter, and when
you told him over the phone while
ago that you had received it, he knew
he had failed"
but - where's the man who was
here? Mr.. Sending? Or whoever he
was?"
''If there was anyone here, he's
gone, down the stairs or out some
other way. But there may not have
been anyone. They may simply have
'phoned him, told him he had failed. 1"
Preswick turned to the other men.
Royce, you and a couple of your men
come along with US. Leave someone
here to call the police. Tell them this
is Mr.. Forsyth's valet. MIR. Forsyth
and will be at the -" He hesitated.
We'll, just say we'll get in touch with
them later"
Royce assented with nod. ap-

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Peter Delivered From Prison
By HIGHT {. MOORE

prisoners track, Peter told his
story in brief and asked that
these things be told to James
(the brother of the Lord) and
the other brethren. With great
JOY they must have heard the
welcome news.
a. DEPARTURE
And he departed, and went in
to another place.
Deliverance for Service was
the divine purpose in Peters SAT-
ETY.. Immediately Peter departed
from the house of Mary and
doubtless also from Jerusalem al
though his destination was not
specified. He had to flee and
flee quickly, or his life would be
the forfeit. Later we find him
at Antioch. He reappeared also
in Jerusalem after Herod's mis-
cradle death. And his mission
airy labors took him to distant
points in the Roman Empire.
FOLLOW DUTY THROUGH
DANGER
(1) The Duty of Work. "Peter
therefore" James fell at the
post of duty: Peter was at work
when arrested and hurled into
prison. Be faithful in the face
of danger.
(2) The Duty of Endurance.
"Was kept in prison" Often
danger is divinely averted; but
sometimes it must be endured.
Good soldiers must endure hard
ness.
(3) The Duty of Intercession.
prayer was made without ceas-
ing of the church unto God for
him." Of course Peter prayed
for himself. But also his fellow
Christians fell to their knees in
devout entreaty on his behalf.
(4) The duty of Trust. "Peter
was sleeping an angel OF the
Lord came upon him." See Peter
sound asleep in shackles! His
sleep in Gethsemane was that of
physical exhaustion; but in pri-
son it was the sleep of spiritual
repose.
(5) The Duty of Obedience.
1.-THE angel said unto him." Four
or five distinct commands the
angel gave him. Did he remon-
strate or hesitate on account of
his letters? Not for a moment.
Obedience to each command gave
strength to meet the next.
CO. The Duty of Escape. "They
went out" There is no virtue
in needless suffering. Die for
principle, if duty demands it; but
live for principle if God opens
the way. T.. 12 IA.
CD The Duty of Perseryer-i
ance. event into another place"
The spared life of Peter. was put
to good use. His field widened,
his ministry deepened, and his
work went on.
