CHAPTER VIII
"I can't Iet you go in. Besides,
he's not there, Sybil. I -Ie really isn't
there."
How do you know?"
"1 looked:"
"You cane here to see him?"
"Yes, ycs — but he isn't here.
Come home with hie, Sybil," •
The grotesque Sybil hesitated a
moment, her bright feverish eyes
searching - Karen's face, Then she
pushed her forcefully aside with
crtushing arrogance,
"Let me by," she said, her voice
rising hysterically.
There was.a limousine at the
curb. Karen walked to it, moving
like a sleepwalker„ She got into it
without a backward glance. It
rolled away into the dark.
"Well, well," McCale spoke as
they settled back into their taxi. "1
am more than ever convinced -that
there is a nigger in the Bigelow
woodpile."
"I should say so." Ann smiled
wearily. "As our good pal, Rocky,
would say everyone seems one
leap ahead of a fit.
"In the meantime, you'd better
get down to the Bigelow house ear-
ly tomorrow and look for some-
thing,"
"My good woman, what ani I to
look for?"
"If I were you, I'd look for a
time bomb."
:k .* *
Looking back on it later, what
happened was very ninth like a
tune bomb — something explosive
and hidden, but ticking away, set
to go off at a given moment .
It was still quite early. Another
night, they night have gone on to
one or another of the nightclubs,
but McCale was in no mood for it.
He knew Ann's evening was prob-
ably spoiled, though she said noth-
ing. He reached for her hand, ex-
pecting more of her incurable flip-
pancy, but- she, too, seemed sunk
in a thoughtful depression. When
they ,drew up before the apartment
house where she lived, she kissed
him lightly before they got out,
made no remark when he told the
driver to wait. As he fitted her key
into the outside door, she spoke,
"Drink?
No»
"What are you up to? Where
,are you going?"
"I'm going to the Print Club to
see Jerry Tate."
"Oh, all right. Go ahead, I know
what you're like when you smell
blood, you hound." She searched
his face quickly, "Does it look that
bac. Duke? 1 seen to have been
feeling it myself all evening,
though I've tried to tell myself it
was my proximity to you and one
of your fabulous, hunches."

He nodded slowly, "Yeah, Some.

very dirty afoot. ht's only breaking
out in little places hereand there;
but there's bound to be an exp'lo•
sion of some kind in the offing
Pm short on information, baby,
and a little late on the scene, What
Ido, I've got to do quickly,"
"Well go, ahead."
She laughed, dismissing him with
a return to her old facetiousness.
He chuckled to. himself as he got
back 'into the cab, giving the ad•
dress of time Print Club.
He lit a cigarette and sat tvitl
his feet up on one of the adjustable
seats of the taxi as it bumped along
Cambridge street. He thought h,

and had acquired • reputation of
honesty and discretion besides.
The cab drew up with a screech
of brakes before a tali, gray office
building. Between this and another
older structure was a narow alley,
at the back of which could be seen
a faintly lighted doorway. McCale
made for this. Front behind the
stark walls on each side of him, he
could hear the rumble and roar of
machinery, for the presses of the
biggest newspaper in town had
their home there,
a ,M *
The Print Club was on the third
floor of the narrow edifice at the
end of the alley. Duke opened the
floor and event up the winding iron
stairs to the bare, undecorated
rooms which were furnished with
square wooden tables. and chairs
of the Isitchen variety.
1leCale went over to the bar and
asked for Jerry Tate. The barman
nodded in the direction of the
third room, raising a quizzical eye
at 1fcCale's formal attire, McCale
threw him a hard, deliberate scowl,
and made for the door. Just inside
it, a young, irascible, nervous -look-
ing man sat alone at a table, play-
ing solitaire. He did not look up
as McCale sat down facing him.
"Pfeilo, Jerry," said McCale,
"1.11, sleuth," he said in a rasping
voice. "\Vhere have you been—all
dressed up?
"Out to dinner."
"Well, well. Tines have
changed."
"Isn't it the truth! But you see,
1 haven't forgotten the old days. I
come straight from the lap of lux-
ury to visit my ofd pals."

"I'm all agog. No kidding, Duke
I'm glad to see you. However,
you've probably got an axe to
grind."
"As usual I'm after information.
"About a great big, husky, hand-
some young man named Vallain-
court,"
Jerry Tate gave a low whistle
and fired 14eCaie with a baleful
glance.
"So they've called in the Ogpu?".
"Who?"
"The Bigelows. Who else? How
much you soaking them?"
"Now, see here, Jerry. 1 haven't

"You don't have to. I don't have
to be a detective—not even a lousy
reporter—to put two and two to-
gether. What I can't get over is
why they've let it slide along to
this late day. You're a bit on the
tardy side, aren't you?"
Ill say. The wedding is next

"Oh, cone now?"

"Well, rumor has it that it comes
from the Bigelows mostly,"
"1 doubt that."
Tate shrugged. "Sone other old
gal, then,"
"What about his antecedents?"
"Don't know. Springs from Chi-
cago, I'm told."
"How did he get aboard the
\fayflotver—that is, how did he
burrow his way into the bosom of
the Bigelow family?"
"Well, now, let's see. First time
I remember him around the Gay
White Way, he had Victoria Bige-

Sunday School Lesson
Intimate Fellowship with Christ
John 14:' 1-8, 12-18; 15: 1-6.
Golden Text,— Ye are my friends,
if ye do whatsoever 1 command
you. --John 15: 14.
The True Vine
The source of fellowship with
Jesus is pictured in the vine. Jesus
is the perfect vine; not merely the
vine stock, but the stock with its
branches, The Father is not only
the vine -dresser but the owner of
the vineyard. He plants, protects
and prunes the vine in its branches,
plucking in due season the fruitage.
The connection of the branches
with the true vine is vital. There-
from we draw the nourishment
necessary to the larger and higher
life, and itis through the branches
that the vine bears fruitonearth.
For this purpose the vine tvas
planted and cultivated; and for this
purpose the branches are filled with
living sap and crowned with foliage.
And yet pruning is necessary . in
order that the vine through its
brandies may bear more and richer
fruit.
Pruning of The Vine
True to the picture there must
be the cutting off of certain
branches, not so much because they
are lifeless but because they are
fruitless. With' the useless limbs
removed there follows the cleansing
and stimulation of fruitful branches.
The hand of the husbandman may
at times be painful but it is always
helpful.
After the pruning process has
taken place, the Saviour could say
to His disciples that they ' were
clean through the Word which He
bad spoken unto them. But in or-
der to maintain the life thus begun,
it was necessary for him to abide
in Him and for Ilin, to abide in
them.
If there is no union with the
vete, there can be no fruit for the
hubandman. But if the union with
Christ is intimate and sincere, the
result will be satisfactory.
The Life of Love
Life with Christ is the life of
love, There is the commandment of
love, It summarizes our duty: "That
ye love one another." He laid down
His life for us that we might have
life eternally,' Tbete. is the obedi-
ence of love, for our hearts tell us
we ought to do' the things which
He commands us to do. There is
the friendship of love since we have
in Christ the "friend that stickcth
closer than•a brother." There is the
knowledge of love since He has
made known to us all that He heard
from the Father. There is the faith-
fulness of love, for our Best Friend
has chosen and appointed us to
bear the good fruit that will abide.
Finally, there is the reward of love;
for as we fulfil our compact of
friendship with Christ, we are as-
sured of the blessings we ask of the
Father in His name.

There's a Method
Ephraim's front gatehad always
been rather difficult to open, His
neighbors accepted the inconveni-
ence and attributed it to Ephraim's
shiftlessness. A brash young new-
comer to the village frankly asked
why it wasn't repaired,
"There's nothing the matter with
it," blandly replied Ephrair•,
"Of course there is. Why I can
hardly push it open," sputtered the
brash one.
"Naturally, young feller," came
the answer, "that's because every-
one who comes through that gate
pumps a gallon of water into the
tank on the roof."
