pushed little wider open and the in
visible man of the place, as he had
once or twice been christened, ap-

secretary. Hello, Slattery!" his mas

The secretary closed the door be-

the room He was small man, quietly
dressed in dark clothes and wearing
horn-rimmed spectacles.

1t was because Mason was a small

of his occupation that he had no idea
of what was happening. He looked
only with beatific smile at the eager

exclaimed. ~ always understood you

owned property around here.

ventures lately has been unsuccessful

payments. 1t would be a great con-
venience to me, sir, if you would allow
Mr. Slattery to arrange the matter"
"Well. l suppose must say yes"
Besserley acquiesced. Il do not believe
in speculation. though, even on small
scale. You must keep out of that
Besserley waved him away. but the
man turned back before he had
reached the door.
Il beg your pardon, sir. l forgot to
tell you that there is young lady
waiting in Madame Delamain' room.
She desired me to ask whether she
might play the organ in the gallery
some time today:?"
Besserlev frowned but he did not
hesitate "She cannot am not sure
that the organ is in order. do not like
the appearance of the young lady. and
do no! want her about the Chateau.
Mr.. Mason appears to have given her
permission to play the organ in the
chapel and she must be content with
that"
The remainder of that long dreary
day drifted away in uneventful fashion
without further assaults upon Bes-
serley's pocket. He dined with an i'm
proved appetite and decided to
concentrate for an hour or two on his
Memoirs. 1t was not until half-past
eleven that he began to collect his
manuscript and turned his attention
to his nightly whisky and soda.
"You need not sit up. Pierre" he
told his valet II may work for another
hour and can put myself to bed"
Pierre seemed almost unduly CRATE
full Besserley filled his pipe and pro-
ceeded with his task of collecting the
loose sheets he had completed. About
half an hour later he was conscious of
footsteps crossing the main hall. He
listened for moment and laid down
the manuscript. The footsteps were
distinctly audible and the person who
was approaching, whoever it might be,
was someone who knew his way about.

ut is a mysterious business, sir.
Please follow me along towards the
east wing for some distance"
II will come. of course You are not
going to inveigle me into a secret
chamber and blackmail me. hope:?'
For the second time that day
Besserley skirted the corridor on the
eastern side of the Chateau, up and
down short flights of stairs, through
ancient doors until he came to the
last lap Here for moment he paused,
suddenly aware of the sound of con-
fused voices. They came from the
room leading into the chapel.

Slattery? Is it a Saints Day."
Nothing of that SORT" was the
whispered reply. "Will you please
tread as quietly as you can
Besserley obeyed orders. About two
doors from the very beautiful library
consecrated to the use of MIR. Mason
he stopped short. He listened with his
head on one side. The thing was i'm
possible. He took step forward.
Slattery kept pace with him. Besserley
listened again. Then he looked blankly
towards his companion. But what is
this that is happening?"
II thought that you might be sur
prised sir" Slattery said. What do
you think of this, if you please?"
They stood just outside the door of
the room which Besserley had already
explored that morning. The secretary
turned the handle and pushed it open.
Besserley stood upon the threshold
aghast. At the end of the table where
Andrew Mason was seated was large
roulette wheel and Mason himself was
just indulging in the usual chant.
"Faites uos Jeu1, mes amis F0iies ros
jeu1' i. 3. . Rien de "a tlns,"
Besserley, to the end of his life,
never entirely lost the memory of that
tableau. 1t had in it all the elements of
comedy, swiftly changing into melo-
drama. Andrew Mason was at the
head of the table. A few seconds be-
fore. his right arm had been around
the shoulder of the young lacy organ

forehead, continually molstening his
lips. Nearly everyone was seated with
his back to the door and the ball had
fallen into its little place before every
one leaned either forward or back in
his chair and the cry which revealed
their Nemesis in many different notes
rippled and spluttered Historically
amongst them.
Andrew Mason was the one who got
the last moments fun out of his eve
ming. The one number neglected by
everyone had been zero. He looked
round the table and announced,
triumph in his tone. "C'est ie zero qui
gogne!"
And then he realized his DOOM The
rake which he had been gripping clat-
tered from his nerveless fingers. Blank
CONSERVATION robbed his face of all its
rubicund cheerfulness. He looked like

so this, Andrew Mason" Besserley
said, breaking the queer silence at
last. "is the way in which you dispense
your new philosophy of life"'
The sun shone again on the follow
ing morning, and Andrew Mason
proved himself to be man of pre-
cision. The neat little collection Of
IOU's which he left behind was
examined and found correct by every
one of the recipients. Before luncheon
the entire staff of the Chateau de
Nillandry were going about their
duties with buoyant footsteps and
light hearts.
"And what about our domestic
high priest?" Besserley asked. when
his secretary paid him his usual morn
ing visit and handed over a miscel-
laneous roll of notes which had been
forced upon him by the various men,
bers of the staff.
He was off before daylight. SIR"
Slattery conhded. my discovery of
what was going on was made at most
oppoItune moment. Last night was
the date he had fixed for the payment
of all outstanding O US. 1t seems he
had purchased an automobile during
the last few weeks, and he had told the

PRAYER FOR THE CHILDREN
WHO MUST LEAVE GERMANY

God of great heaven, Lord of the Azimuth
Within whose awful hand the sparrow rests,
Whose armies in the heavens of our youth
Pierced with their battle hymns troubled breasts;
Father and friend, whose voice meodous
Sang through the thunder in the cloudy dome,
Take to Your heart which weeps for all Of us,
These children very small and far from home.
These soldiers weighted with a sword,
These are but babies fed with bitter bread;
Their only roof and dwelling is Your word
Your love the only pillow for their head
Watch over them and guard them all torlorn
In England now amidst the alien corn.

The Golden text is: "Labour

The Lesson-Sermon also in

from the Christian Science

Mary Baker Eddy: "How true it

gates to the international conven-
ton of the Disciples of Christ moved
into their first full day this morning
with a reminder from President
Roosevelt and from the leader Of
the convention that spread of Chris
tian fellowship could be most ef-
fective in war-ridden world.
President Roosevelt said in a
message read before an opening
assembly of delegates at Richmond's
Mosque last night that ut is heart
ening to know that your convention
will work for a deeper fellowship
among all Christians as the most
feasible way Of supporting freedom,
which makes for the best Christian
ity and for real democracy"
The same idea OF fellowship was
stressed by DR.. Roger T. Nooe, Nash
vile minister and president of the
convention.
DR.. Sidney B. Hall, State superin-
tendent of public instruction. who
substituted for Gov. Price at the
meeting last night, pointed out that
a Methodist conference. a Baptist
evangelistic campaign and the meet
ing of Disciples of Christ had all
been held in Richmond this week.
Increased emphasis on religion, he
said, is "the only thing that can
save our civilization"

eral secretary of the convention
for 20 years, introduced II former
presidents of the organization and
read the letter from President
Roosevelt.

German Embassy Silent
After Play Complaint

The German Embassy plans no
further protest against Clare
Boothe's play, Margin for Error" it
was said at the Embassy today after
DR.. Hans Thomson, the German
charge d'affaires, wrote to Secretary
of State Hull that the play was de-
rogatory to Germany.
Emphasizing that Dr. Thomsen's
letter was not a formal diplomatic
protest, Herbert Won Strempel. first
secretary of the Embassy, said I'VE
recognize that your Government is
not responsible for the statements
of playwrights. We simply wish to
draw the State Departments notice
to the character of this play"
The setting of the play is a Ger
man consulate in the United States.
The villain is German consul and
the hero Jewish policeman.
Informed of DR.. Thomsen's letter,
the attractive Miss Boothe admitted
the play was not intended as a COM
pliment to the Nazis, but neither
is it supposed to be blast"
Miss Boothe said she "set out to
write a good mystery melodrama, a
'whodunit' rather than a political
play"
