sion effected in making her see her
self as a sinner in need of salvation.
Avoid Religious Argument
The woman tried to divert Christ
from his course by raising an argu-
ment over the relative merits of her
peoples religion and his, but he held
to the main issue: God is a Spirit,
and they that worship him must wor-
ship him in spirit and in TRUTH" re-
CARELESS of where they worship. And
when the woman spoke of the COM
ing Messiah, that is called Christ he
was quick to reveal himself to her
as the fulfillment of this hope of his
people and hers: II that speak unto
thee am he." This is the great OBJ
jective of evangelism, to bring the
unsaved to a consciousness of sin and
faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior
able to save unto the uttermost all
that come unto God through him.
When Jesus disciples, having prepar-
ed the monday lunch, Urged him to
eat, he replied, II have meat to eat
that We know not of. :. . My meat is
to do the will of him that sent me,
and to accomplish his work" To
Jesus the reaching of the unsaved
was more important than food, and

TactfulneSS of Approach
We must learn to approach the
subject of sin and salvation with the
utmost tactfulness, as Jesus did when
he asked the woman for a drink of
water, that he might reveal himself
to her as the source of the water of
life: IF thou knewest the gift of God,
and who it is that saith to thee, Give
me to drink; thou wouldst have ask
ed of him and he would have given
thee living water" And how tactfully
Jesus approached the subject of this
wcman's sin: Go, call thy husband
and come hither And when she said
she had none to call, Jesus referred
to the man with whom she was liv-
ing in sin, and brought from her a

said, land what l am to do the

Graham, the chairman Of the

woman who called herself Mrs.
Thornton are the real murderers.
To my mind it's pity that you
did not tell me before"
Selden put his hand on the in

he said soothingly, IF it had been
possible I would have done so, but
I hadn't got the proof. I only got
it yesterday. Now if you will take

agree, that, as a mark Of respect
to Colonel Graham, they shall post
pone the sitting. Then when you
have had a rest, bring James over

believe he can throw light on the

she will ever return to it."
The inspector gazed ait Selden in
open amazement. II am too dog
tired, now" he said. CPL do what
you. ask, and then We'll go into all
these matters"
Later in the morning, when the
smoking pile was sufficiently cool
to allow Of a search, the firemen
found among the smouldering
embers the charred remains of
Colonel Graham. The. fact that
the body had been clothed told its
own story. and one could picture

The captain Of the Grinfold Fire
brigade came to Hutchins. He had
just drawn up his engines, and the
hose had been connected up.
"a bad business, Inspector. We
can't do much here. Anyone in

Get your tallest ladder and try
to get on the roof" Hutchins or
dered.
The captain looked obviously at
the burning building. "I'm afraid
there's, not much chance there.
Wed better get the hoses on, and
try to get in the back way"
There was a ringing Of bells, a
hoarse- roar, and the fire engine
from Poolhurst rushed up the drive
like a horse artillery timber COM
ing into action. Figures like
demons in the red light Of the con-
fiagration and the dense clouds of
acrid. smoke were working heroic
ally, for the word had gone round
that Colonel Graham was trapped
inside. The old place burnt like
finder, being oak-paneled through
out, and the roof was a CROSSWORD
of gigantic old beams:
AS Selden and Hut chin S
watched, with a. mighty crash the
roof fell in, and volcano of flames
rose to heaven. Already the whole
village was there, standing back
from the heat, in a stupid, fasci-
mated half-circle.
Selden felt a touch on his arm:
the captain Of the fire brigade
stood there eff Colonel Graham
was in his private room he is
nothing but charred ashes now"
he said solemnly.
Selden nodded. ""The wicked
have digged a pit, and have fallen
into the midst Of it themselves {"
he said, with a gravity that made
Hutchir1s look at him in question.
The united efforts Of the fire
brfgades seemed to have as little
effect as the rain which still pelted
down, making a curious kissing
sound as it fell on the flames and
was turned to- steam!
It'll burn right out now" the
fire brigade captain said,. and re-
moved his helmet to, wipe his fore
head.

He went back to his men gru1n-
bling fiercely.
The dreary hopeless dawn saw
them still at work, and the flames
had given way to huge columns of
black smoke that rose from the

concerned. But ne had heard
family from across the lake the
baying Of the hounds and the
sound Of shots, and his mind went
back to the scene where he had
been the victim. He was anxious
with regard to Selden's safety, be-
| ing entirely ignorant of his move
ments.
The closely shattered windows
had prevented him from seeing the
lurid glare in the sky where the
Colonels house was burning.
At eight o'clock he could stand
it no longer. He walked quickly
down the passage to the hall; and
called up the Bull Inn The ex-
cited maid told him of strange
happenings. According to her
tale, the Manor had caught fire
and the Colonel had persisted in
the flames. Poor Mr.. Hucks, who
had gone up to help, had been try
ing to liberate the bloodhounds
from their burning kennels, and
they had set on him and killed
him. The police had brought his
body to the inn, and placed it in
shed at the back, as a temporary
mortuary. Mr.. Selden?e Oh yes,
he was quite all right, though very
tired. He was changing his
clothes, and was then coming to
the Abbey.
That was all Reid could get
from the half bysterical girl, but
with wealth of detail. Reid put
up. the receiver and. saw Sylvia
standing beside him.
She had slept well, after Sell
denis reassurances, and was look
ing fresh and happier than of late.
Reid impaired the information.
What is the meaning of it all ?"
A cloud passed over her lovely face
at the terrible news.
Reid remarked:
"Dick Selden will be here short,
ly. He must be half dead after
being up all night at the fire."
'Then had better see about
breakfast; we'll use the front.

When Selden arrived, they were
ready for him in the dining, room.
for the inn had been in state of
chaos, and he had come up with
out eating.

'"Now." Selden said, lighting a
pipe, when the simple meal was
over, I'm dead to the world. and
positively must have some sleep.

contemplated the young man across

voice was hollow. How can I when
I see her lying there wasting away?

eagerly, she also
accepted the rest.
We will consult q

doctor decided.
The psychiatrist
ordered Jim to hnd
the gypsy woman
and have her re-
tract her statement
to Jane.
So Jim set powers
in force to find
the old woman,
and Jane worked
doggedly on. She
seldom spoke any

voice was ominous. 1T is DEATH"
Jane was startled out Of her rev.

ulously. But I know nothing OF
death. You must be mistaken"
The gypsy's dark eyes burned into
hers. Suddenly she was afraid. You
must be brave, my little one. You
will know death. He will be your
constant companion!"
BE brave!" James lips managed to
frame the words.
Yes. Death will walk with you.

TANE shuddered involuntarily as
she left the tent-already she
felt that she was no longer alone.
All day. every day. Jane worked
diligently at her canvas. Never strong,
she grew thinner and more wan until
one day several months later her good
natured husband lost his temper.
Jane, you will have to stop this
puttering around. It's wearing you
down."
"Puttering! That's funny, jim"
James laughter grew hysterical.

then, more softly: Lord, your nerves

James face sobered. 'It won't do

TOO late? What on earth are you
talking about? I can't seem to under
sand you at all any more, Jane.
What is that crazy looking thing
you're painting?"
"You wouldn't understand. It's

Death? What death? Whose
death?"

It was then that Jane broke down
and told him of the gypey's message.
When she had finished Jim could
only stare at her You mean you

Jane said no more, but resumed
der work.
That evening Jim called DR.. Brown.
He explained the situation fully and
the kindly old man examined Jane
st once.
Nothing physically wrong with
her, Jim, but you know she has always
been a nervous, high-strung girl.
And extremely impressionabie. This
