THE GREATEST MYSTERY STO RY EVER WRITTEN
THE DISAPPEARANCE ork THE a gloat, Aunt," and the Chaplain sup
"BLUE WATER" ported him and said he'd be delighted
to get it, if Lady Brandon would give
permision.
Only he and Aunt Patricia knew the
secret of the Priest's Hole (excepting
Sir Hector, of course), and I believe it
would have taken an extraordinary in-
genious burglar to have discovered
it, even given unlimited opportunity,
before tackling the safe in which the
"Blue Water," with other valuables
reposed. (1 know that Michael, Dig-
by, and I had spent countless hours,
with the knowledge and consent of
our aunt, in trying to find, without
the slightest success, the trick of this
hiding place of more than one hunted
divine: It became an obsession with
Michael.)
Aunt Patricia agreed at once, and
the Chaplain disappeared. He had a
key which gave access to the hiding -
place of the keys of the safe which
the Priests' Hole guarded.
'What is the Blue Water' worth,
Aunt Patricia?" asked Claudia.
"To whom, dear?"'was the reply.
"Well -what would a Hatton Gard-
en person give for, it?"
"About a half what he thought his
principal would be willing to offer,
Per'haps."
"And what would that be, do you
suppose?"
"I don't. know, Claudia. If some
American Millionaire were very an-

to buy it, I suppose he'd

be considered," was the reply,
"What would you ask, supposing
you were going to sell it?" persisted
Claudia.
"I certainly am : not going to sell
it," said Aunt Patricia, in a voice
that should have closed the conversa-
tion. She had that dayreceived a

And then, one autumn evening, the
face •ef life changed as utterly and
suddenly as unexpectedly. The act
of one person alto: el the lives of all
of us, and brought suffering, exile,
and death in its train.
I was never : a student nor a philos-
opher, but I would like some convin-
ced exponent of the doctrine of Free
Win to explain how we are everything
but the helpless victims of the con-
sequences of the acts of other people.,
How I envy the grasp and logic of
those great minds that can easily re-
concile "to the third and fourth gen-
eration," for example, with this com-
fortable doctrine!.
On this fine autumn evening, so
ordinary, so secure and comfortable,
so fateful and momentous, we sat in
the great drawing -room of Brandon
Abbas, after dinner, all together for
what proved to be the last time:
There were present Aunt Patricia, the
Chaplain, Claudia, Isobel, Michael,
Digby, Augustus Brandon, and my-
self.
Aunt Patricia asked Claudia to sing,
And that young lady excused herself
on the score of being out of sorts
and not feeling like it. She certain-
ly looked pale and somewhat below
her usual sparkling standard of heal-
th and spirits. I had thought for
re
some days that sheseemed h preoccu-
pied and worried, and I had avondered
if her bridge -debts and dressmakers'
bilis were the cause •of it.
With her wonted desire to be help-
ful .and obliging, Isobel went to the
piano, and for some time we sat lis-

FAVORITE HYMNS
Encouraged by his sister, Whittier
"DEAR LORD AND FATHER OFlsent his first verses to.a newspaper
' edited by William Lloyd Garrison,
who was so struck by their quality
that he rode fifteen miles to make the
acquaintance of his young contributor,
-an acquaintance which ripened into
a firm friendship and led to 'Whittier
becoming a journalist.
Whittier became an ardent' abolition-
ist. He threw himself with unspar-
ing passion, on the side of those op-
posed to slavery. His poetic gifts,
and indeed' the whole strength of his
young manhood, he gave without re-
serve to the abolition cause. • It was
during these days that he wrote some
It is unlikely
ofhisfinest
poems. .
n l
that Whittier intended his poems to
be used: as hymns, but their unques-
tioned spiritual tone made them ap-
iaropriate for public worship and, at
are'
least; seventy-five of his hymns
now in general use. Probably most
people would give first place to 'Dear
Lcrd and Father of 'Mankind.' Very
ani, hymns strike as perfectly the
note of true a orsaip. Other favorites
of Whittier are: "When on My Day
of Lire the Night is Failing,'' "0
Sometimes: Gleams Upon Our Sight,"
and "0 Lord and Master of Us All."
`Whittier died in 189-, and as he peace-
fully passed away a watcher recited
the lines beginning; "When on my day
MANKIND"
Unlike so many of his contempor-
aries among American. men of letters,
John Greenleaf Whittier, author of
this fine hymn, suffered many hard-
ships during his boyhood. While
Lowell, Longfellow, Emerson, were
receiving such privileges .as come to
youths whose parents are in comfor-
table circumstances, Whittier was
tackling the heaviest tastes on the
farm. It. is thought that the severe
drudgery of those days, and exposure
to severe weather, so affected his con-
stitution that he never fully recover-
ed. .
Until he was nineteen he received
the merest smattering of a rudimen-
tary education in backwoods school.,
'The
` n Hymn,
In Storyof the America y ,
Edward S. Ninde quotes.a verse writ-
ten by Whittier at this, titne which
shows his dissatisfaction with the kind
of life he was compelled to' lead:
"And must I always swing: the flail,
And help to fill the milking pail?
I.wish to go away to school;
I do not .wish to be a foot."
'While still a raw youth in his fa,
ther's home, an event happened which
changed Whittier's life. A wander-
ing Scatehman visited the farm, and
after being helped to bread and cheese
he sang with a rich full voice, tunny of life the night is falling
of turns' favorite songs: "Bonnie
boon;,' "Highland Mary", and "Auld "BEAR LORD AND FATHER OF
