Mildred (Sue) Wagner, riding
a bus to work, let cup-cake

the floor. Missing it, she noticed
that someone had placed it on
the seat opposite her. Too en-

a young man boarded the bus
and sat down on it. Mildred ex-

The Captain leant backward in his efforts to
be fair to this near-Boche. He investigated
only each single move of Won Altendorf for
the past six and one half years. Next was

It was as he was about to interrogate the

In moment or so he returned, his face

Christus. 1t was dripping wet. The careful
Paris police had soaked it on its delivery by
messenger. 1t might have been bomb!
There was something of an alteration
between Ruelle and the Captain. Ruelle
wanted the investigation dropped for the
benefit of the Italian parties who naturally
wished to avoid any unnecessary attention.

mission. You may view the Chistus at any
time in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in
Vienna. The bearded man was, naturally,
the owner. Presumably he was there to
protect his property and, perhaps, to push
the bidding a trifle.)
The thief?
Oh. Myself. naturally. From the mo-
ment Marchand reminded me of the Incl
dent, sensed there was some connection
between the Christus and the $1,000 crowns
worth of papal jewels Cellini was reputed to
have stolen. And my examination of the
statue convinced me it was almost, but not
quite. solid gold.
You see. realized quite early in the game
that the Austrian or any of the Others was
prepared to outbid me- The Director was
quite right when he stated that am impec-
cably honest, though in this case l will say
that it amused me to right four-hundred-
years-old wrong by returning the jewels
privately to their rightful owner.
My purpose with the Christus could take
only an hour or 50. My assistant, Juan
Morelos, was instructed to seize it from
Ruelle's man as he approached the house.
You still do not understand?

The police were extremely courteous in
their treatment. They agreed to keep all

owners of the statue. They released us all
after only the briefest questioning.

Jesus Death and Trial

Jesus Death and Trial.
Lesson for June IL: Luke 23.-
1888; Mark 1894; Luke 23.46-
AZ; Matthew 27:57-60.
Memory Selection: John 1O.ll.
After the travesty of a trial
was ended, Jesus was lead to the
crucifiction, When place called
Galgotha had been reached and
Jesus had been lifted up between
two thieves, the chief priests and
the soldiers taunted the Sufferer
and told him to save himself
and one of the soldiers offered
him vinegar to drink mingled
with gall. And above the head of
Jesus were these words: THIS
is THE KING OF THE JEWS.
At the ninth hour (three in
the afternoon) Jesus cried: INV
God, my God, why hast Thou
forsaken me?" Let us regard
these words as evidence that
Jesus, who had come willingly
to the cross for sinful men,
whose sins had separated them
from God, had to feel utterly
alone in his sacrifice.
In the last moments, Jesus
cried out, in a loud voice: Faith
er.. into Thy hands I commend
my spirit. These were the last
words from the cross. They were
sufficient answer to some who
have supposed that his crying of
being forsaken indicated waver-
, ing faith by Jesus.
The Sanhedrin, in declaring
Jesus worthy of death was not
unanimous in its action. Joseph
of Arimathaea did not agree.
And, after the crucifiction, he
begged the body of Jesus from
Plate, and he and Nicodemus
lovingly placed it in Joseph's
new tomb. Matthew writes that
Joseph "also himself was Jesus
disciple. 1t is true that he had
been a disciple secretly, but at
the Last he acted boldly and at
great risk to himself. The same
was true of Nicodemus.
