"As much as the mud would permit
our pace was speeded up, and we were
soon in the line upon the duck boards
(board walks laid in the niud), myself
and my immediate companions each
laden with two petrol tins of water.
"The front line was about two
miles away. For the most part of the
journey a bright moon made the trav-

ly the duck boards ended, the moon
completely disappeared and the re-
sulting darkness acted like a signal
to the apposing batteries. The air was

moment too soon, for a rest. My

heavy, and all of us were panting as
we crouched beside our comrades who
were waiting in the upper trench in

a cold, and 1 heartily wished that my

five minutes we started over again,

utter desolation. I fell beside my cans.
The flares revealed to me that 1 should
soon lose contact with my hurrying
comrades, and the mad music of the
hurtling shells stimulated me to a
fresh effort,
'A great weariness seized me, and
in spite of the noise and uncanny sur-

A chagrined dread of tailing in my

1. Jesus Christ Growing (Luke 2:42-
62).
While Christ was indeed divine, his
deity did not interfere whit his de-
velopment as si human being. The
processes of his physical, raental, and
spiritual growth were the same 00
those of any human being.
1. Jesus tarrying behind at Ur*
Belem (vv. 42, 43).
At the age of twelve a Jewish child
took his place as a worshipper in the
temple. He was considered a "child
of the law." Being conscious of his
mission, when Joseph and his mother
were returning from attendance at
the Passover, he tarried behind to en-
ter the temple and inquired into tem
meaning of the ordinances of Godl
House. He had an alert, eager min*
which inquired after the truth, esps0
Melly the truth concerning his Fen
ther's House. His heart yearned after
his Father.
2..Tesus found in the temple (vv.
44-50).
When Joseph and jesus' mother had
gone some distance on their return
Journey they perceived that Jesus was
missing, and sought him among their
kinsfolk and acquaintance. Not find-
ing him there, they turned back to
Jerusalem where they found him in
the temple.
(1) Be was "sitting" (v. 46) show-
ing that be was no passing visitor or
sightseer. He was perfectly at home
in his Father's House.
(2) He was "hearing" the teachers'
of God's Word (v. 46). This shows
he was eager to learn God's will.
(8) He asked questions (v. 46).
The growing mind is inquisitive. It
more than receives that which is
taught; it inquires after,
(4) He answered questions (v. 42).
Hie answers showed great 'wisdom,
It was not an exhibition of his
divine wisdom, but au expression of
the workings of a perfect human mind
suffused by the Holy Spirit.
3, Mary's complaint (vv. 48.50).
She remonstrates with him for biz
behavior. He made no apology, show-
ing that he was more than the son of
Mary; God was his Father.
4. Jesus obedient (v. 61).
Though he was conscious of his di-
vine being and mission, he lived a life
of filial obedience.
5. Jesus' development (v. 52).
It was
(1) lefented-"Increased in wisdom."
(2) Physical -"Stature."
(8) SpIritual-"Favor with God and
man."
II. Growth In Grace (II Peter 1:3-
11).
This is not growth into grace, but
growth in It. We get Into grace by
the slew birth. Tbis new nature which
bas its source in God must be (levet-
oped in order that our lives be fruit-
ful for God (v, 8). that they hear
testimony to the cleansing power of
Chilet's blood (v. On and that we may
have assurance of salvatioa (v, 10).
The following are lines of growth:
1. "Virtue" (v. 5).
Virtue Isere mentos energy or cour-
uge. Tbis Is not "added" RS In the
Authorized Verstoo, but as in the Re-
vised Version which reads; "In your
faith supply virtue." it inures tre
crease by growth, not by external
Junetion: Faith is the root from
welch spring all these exeollencies,
2. "Knowledge" (v. 5).
This menne a right understanding,
a pi•actical knowledge.
8. "Temperance" (T. (5).
Temperance means selneontrot. This
self-control extends to all the affairs
of life, Practical knowledge will sup-
ply to itself the government of all
appetites,
4, "Patience" (v. (3).
This means endurance. Hawing con-
trol of eelf evithiti, there wilt be en-
durance of that without.
5. "Godliness" (v. 6).
This means piety, reverence for
God, the submission of the Ihunan will
to the will of God. Thts is a part of
that preetical knowledge which we
are obliged to supply,
6. "totherly kindnens" (v. 7).
Love of the brethren must be dove.
oped in godlioess. The proof that
one is godly is that he loves the
brethren (1 Sohn 5:1). This means
the special love of Christiana for each
other.
7. Tharlty" (v. '7).
This Is love. Peter's climax le
reached in thee. Out ef faith, which
Is the root, springs this eeven-fold
fruit, In order to prevent apostassy,
Peter mile all to he diligent in the de,
velopment of dim graces. Ail such

Without replying, Merrick hended.
over the revolver which had been
brought to light that morning,
"Where did you get this rusty
thing 0 Was it in the hike, also ?"
The detective nodded affirmatively,
and Mr. Whitney examined the wea-
pon is some perplexity.
Well, 1 must say," he remarked at
length, "1 don't see what connection
this has with the case, The shooting
was done with Hugh Mai n waring' s
own revolver ; that was settled at the
inquest-"
"Pardon me I it was only "settled"
that the revolver found lying beside
him was his own."
The attorney stared as Merrick
continued, at Hie same time produc-
ing from his pocket the revolver in
question; "This, :is you are doubt-
less aware is a Smith and Wesson, 32
calibre, while that," pointing to the
rusty weapon in Mr. Whitney's hands,
"is an old Cob's revolves', a 3S. On'
the monsieg of the murder, after you
and the coroner had gone, 1 found the
bullet for which we had searched Un-
successfully, and from that hour to
this 1 have known, whist before 1 had
suspected, that this dainty little wea-
pon of Mr. Mainwaring's played no
part In the shooting. Here is the
bullet, you can see for yourself."
Mr. Whitney gazed in silent aston-
ishment as the detective compared
the bullet with the two weapons,
showing conclusively that it could
never have been discharged from the
familiar 31 -calibre revolver,
"Well, I'll be blessed if 1 can see
what in the dickens that revolver of
Mainwaring's had to do with the af-
fair, anyway 1"
"Very easily explained when you
once take into consideration the fact
that the whole thing was an elaborate-
ly arranged plass, on the part of the
murderer, (0 give the affair an appear-
ance of suicide. One glance ar the
murdered man conviced me that the
wound had never been produced by
the weapon lying at his side. That
clue fed to others, and when I left
that room with you, to attend the
inquest, 1 knew that Hugh Mainwaring
had been shot with a 38 -calibre re-
volCer, in his library, near the centre
of the room, and that the body had
,afterwards been so arranged in the
tower -room as to give the appear-
ance of his having deliberately shot
himself beside his desk and with his
own revolver."
"By George ! I believe you're
eight," said the attorney • "and l re-
call now your statement tat day, that
the shooting had occurred in the- lib-
rary : 1 wondered, then what reason
you had fur such an opinion."
'A small stain on the library carpet
and the bullet told Inc that muck, A-
nother thing, which at first puzzled
tne, was the marked absence of
blood -stains. There was a small pool
of blood underneath the head, but,
none on the Clothing and elsewhere.
The solution to this I found on fur-
ther investigation, The wound had
been firmly and skilfully bandaged by,
an expert hand, the imprint of the
bandage being plainly visible in the
hair on the temples. Here is the proof
that I was correct,' and Merrick
held up to the attorney's astonished
view the stained and knotted bandker-
chief. "This, with the private keys
belonging to Mr. Mainwaring's library,
was in the box at the bottom. of the
lake. Do you consider Mrs. La Grange
or Hobson capable of planning and
carrying out an affair so adroitly as
that ?"
"You've got me floored," the at-
torney answered, gazing at the proofs
before him, "Hobson I know nothing -
about; but that woman I believe could
scheme to beat the very devil himself;
and yet, Merrick, when you think of
It, it 1131.1S( have taken time -consider.
able time-th plan a thing like that."
"Or else," Merrick suggested, "it
was the performance of au expert crins
inalk no bungling, no work of a green
hand:"
Mr, Whitney started slightly, but
the detective continued. "Another
point: liobsems, as you say, was the
one man whom Hugh Mainwaring fear-
ed and who evidently had some hold
upon him; would he then have dared
denounce him as a liar and an impost,.
er? Would' not his use of such terms
imply that Ise. was addressing one
whom' he considered a stranger and
unacquainted with the facts "in the
case?"
"1 see," the attorney •replied quick-
ly; "tem I5tv li miud Hobsoe's ac-

Merrick smiled. "You are then in-

"Certainly that is a reasonable sup-
