She flashed a sly look at him. "Little good it does me to object," Ishe said -"Here's Jessie." A stateroom door opened to disclose a girl who; if she was not so beautiful as Delia, Tom was obliged to admit that she came, very near being so, Hers was a contracting type; black flair and eyes, but a clear complexion; and she was as tastefully and becom- ingly gowned, Omagh in light gray, as the other girl. She acknowledged Tom's introduc- tion so absently that he received the impression that her mind was set upon: ;something a "'• off and that she was fiercely impatient of the intervening distance. She seemed to move in a `sort of stony despair that would crush her down presently if she could not Ind relief. .And on the way over to the landing, and up to the Claremont, whose garage supplied them with an automobile, she uttered no word and remained indite ferent to her surroundings. When he had seen them in the car, Delia offered bim a hand. "I suppose tbe launch will come for us?" she said with a sober littlel smile. "If you don't mind, I'll meet you; here -any time you say," returned Tom. "I want to run down to my' ,club and look up a friend, then I'll' be free." Delia glanced doubtfully at Jessie' *illard. "We might take you as far ;as Central park," she proposed. ' "Thank you -if I'll not be in the 'way." And the long ride townward was made in silence, save for an occasional 'remark from Delia, to which Tom could find only the most perfunctory of responses. Jessie Willard's '2cret 'distress sat heavily upon them all. As eagerly disposed as Tom was la be in Delia's company, yet it was with a sense of relief that be separated from the two girls, after agreeing to rejoin them at the Claremont at noon. Thirty minutes later he was at the Powhatan, learning with incredulous surprise that Van Vechten had not been there since last Tuesday. Ile Promptly called up the Kenmore and got Barnicle on the wire. His mysti- fication deepened at the bald informa- tion that "Mr. Rurllph was out of the city." "Out of the city!" Tom bawled into the mouthpiece. "What the devil do you mean? Where out of the city?" But Barnacle had hung up. "0h, well," he reflected by and by, "he's learned something about MISS Carew and is off to eee about it. I'll just knelt around town a while, then catch a Central train and go back. It's perhaps just as well that he don't see me." Then with a vivid memory of the de. lettable burden he had borne the night before, of the smile of the unaf• feeted request that he carry her, of his name whispered by her pretty lips be grinned broadly and happily. The grin. however, was cut short by a sudden realization that Mr. Phineas Flint was standing off at a little die. !tante, scrutinizing him curiously. Flint advanced to where he was sit, ting in the lounge and helped bin -malt 'to an adjacent chair.

The latter was extremely ill at ease, for he dreaded the astute ol$cer's powers of discernment. "I am rather anxious to find him," Mr. Flint ended another pause. "I haven't the least idea where he is," said Tom. "Learned anything new?" The detective produced,a small strip of paper upon which were a half-dozen or so typewritten lines; this he sat holding in one hand. "I have just come from Mr. Theo- dore Van Vechten," he said with a whimsical air. "He sent for me." "The dickens he did!" Tom ex- pressed his astonishment, "About your murder Baso? -Miss Carew?" 'With his customary deliberation, the other amplified. "81r. Theodore Van Vechten is a Man who can neither be surprised nor forced from his reticence. I obeyed the summons rather hopefully, and I learned just what he wanted me to - no more, ao less. IIe had the informa- tion all ready for me, written upon this slip of paper." Tom contented himself with a grun that was expressive of his bewilder- ment and curiosity; he did not want to set a precedent by asking too many questions. 11ir. Flint went on: "It took him something less than twenty seconds to tell me what he wanted and dismiss me." He seemed to bave enjoyed the episode. "With- out a word of greeting or preface, be said: 'If you want to find Max Wil- lard-'" "Just that. 'If you want to find Max Willard, perhaps this will help you.' He banded me this bit of typewriting, land I was shown out of the office.

C., for a new explosive called "willardite," reputed to be the most powerful in existence.' For several months secret negotiations have been in progress between 'Wil- lard and the II. S. government. While Tom had a feeling that this information, if properly understood,' would clearup much that was secret and obscure respecting Willard and ilsconduct, still it did not enlighten him in any way. Indeed, it was all the ;more baffling that the intelligence should come voluntarily from the Man of lron. He puzzled fruitlessly over it a while, then asked: "What's this got to do with ;either: the murder or Miss Carew?" "Nothing," cheerfully returned the. detective, folding the slip of paper and depositing it in his wallet, "nothing .whatever. Good day!" , And he left Tom more perplexed' and mystified than ever.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xx, 32-42. Memory Verse, 42 -Golden Text, Prov. xvii, 17 -Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our lesson topic today is "The Friendship of David and Jonathan," but the lesson verses give only one in- cident out of many. As our next les- son will be in chapter xsvi. we will consider the Devld and Jonathan in- cidents in chapters xviii to xxiii. In chapter see the name of Jonathan is mentioned twenty-four times, and in chapter xx it is found twenty-seven times. His name may mean the gift of Jehovah, and he surely was such to David, a real friend and comforter, making us think of Paul's words con- cerning some of his belpers, "Fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me" (Col. iv, 11). In our first introduction to Jonathan (chapters xiii and xlv), in which we find his name just twenty- eight times, we see him as a brave sol- dier, relying upon Jehovah to fight for him and with him (civ, G '9). The next mention of him is after David's defeat of Goliath, waren we read that his soul was knit with the soul of David, for he loved him as his own soul. He stripped himself of his garments and armor and put them upon David (chap- ter xviif, 1-4; see also xx, 17; II Sam. I, 24). They were truly kindred spir- its, both strong in the Lord. We can- not but think of Him who emptied Himself for us, laid aside all His glory, that He might redeem us, clothe us with His flghteOusness and share with us His Kingdom. We think also of the disciple wbom Jesus loved, who leaned upon his bosom, but we remem- ber what is written to John xili, 1, of all true disciples, "Ile loved them unto the'^end, to the uttermost" (R. V., mar- gin). ) The next incident is in chapter six, 1-7, where Jonathan pleaded with his fattier for David, remanding him that through David the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel, and so David was for a time restored to Saul's favor, but we saw in last lesson how, worthless and uncertain it was. In our lesson chapter we see David returning fromSamnel (to whom he had fled) to interview Jonathan and to tell him that when near Saul he felt that there was but a step between him and death and to ask him to find out if he could just how his father really felt toward him, for it would seem as if David could scarcely believe that Saul hated him as greatly as these sudden outbreaks of temper would indicate. One may give way to temper again and again and yet really love the person spoken or acted against How beauti- ful was Jonathan's reply to David. "Whatsoever thy soul desireth I will even do it for thee" (xx, 4), or as in the margin, "Say what is tiny mind,' What .thy 'soul speaketh or thinketh, and I will do it." What a friend to have and yet listen to Him who calls us friends, "If ye shall ask anything In My name I will do it" (John xv, 15;, siv, 14). Jonathan seams not to have believed up to this time that his father meant any real harm to David, prob- ably attributing all to Ids fearful tem- per, fur be said, "If I knew certainly, that evil were determined by my fa- ther to come upon thee would not I tell it thee?"' (xx, 0.) They went out into the field alone with the Lord and with prayer, and, as in His sight, they made a'covenant the one with the other and arranged a plan by which Jonathan !Would find out certainly 'what his fa-, ther's attitude to David really was (xx, 11-23). When the plan was work- ed out and Sanl's anger against David became so manifest that he tried to 1111 Jonathan for taking David's part, then Jonathan knew that it was de- termined of his father to slay David.;, So he arose from the table in fierce anger, for he' was grieved for David (xx, 8234). Then Jonathan in the morning went out into the field and communicated with David by a pre- arranged plan (xx, 18.24, 35-40). It was a three days' mterval (verse 18), remindtng us of so many three days' stories, and it was a morning farewell that these two friends now had (verse 35), reminding us. by anal- ogy, and contrast of so many morning stories. The'statement in verse 39 that the lad who gathered the arrows knew, V MyNVtA0.00e WM DON'T NEGLECT YOUR WATCH A WATCH is a 'delicate piece 13 of machinery.

Edison Records and Supplies not anything or toe signmcance or hYs doings nor of the real meaning of Jon- athan's words to him has often come to me with power, as I have given His message from His word from time to time, simply knowing that I was seeking to be faithful' to him, but not knowinganything y mg of what He might be accomplishing by the message, but t� sure always that He knew what lie ' was doing and that'Hid word' will al- ways accomplish His pleasure (John' vi, 13; Isa. lv, 11) . flow pathetic the farewell of these two after the lad had gone -the kissing, the weeping, the committing of each other to the Lord, and Jonathan's "Go in peace" (verses 41, 42). In the morning to which we. look forward we shall be "forever with the Lord" (I Thess. iv, 17). What a contrast' to this sad parting and all partings! They met once more, and Jonathan strengthened David in God, and they spoke of the kingdom and renewed their covenant (xxiii, 16-18). What God does or permits to be done le often to as a great mystery, but there is comfort in H1 words "Wbat do thou knowest not now, but thea guilt know he-eafter" (John afii,`7). .: The Cost of Livia OTTAWA, Ap frit 22. -Thea 'd- vauoe an' the cost of living in Can- ada Since the war 'b'cig?in anal nt- tributed to the war has been about 7 1-3 per cent.
