just placed the match in an. ash tray
when he heard Sir Charles' voice in
the lobby, and a moment later' Sir
Charles himself came hurrying into
the library.
"I was called ten minutes ago by
someone purporting to be the servant
of Mr. Chester Wilson, that friend
and neighbor whom I have been at-
tending."
"So your butler informed nie."
"My dear sir," cried Sir Charles,
and the expression in his eyes grew
almost wild, "no one in Wilson's
house knew anything about the mat-
ter !"
Sir Charles was staring at Harley
in that curiously pathetic way which
he had observed at their earlier inter-
view in Chancery Lane. "In any
event," said his host, "let us dine; for
already I have kept you waiting."
Benson attended at table, assiisted
by a dark -faced and very surly-look-

which is stolen a manuscript written
by •Abingdon. Costly silver and
jewelry remain undisturbed much to
the amazement of Sir Charles.

"yes, .:r. He is attending Mr.
Chester Wilson on the other side of
the square, and Mr. Wilson's man
rang up a few moments ago request-
ing Sir Charles to step across." •
"I see," murmured Harley, as the
butler showed him into a small but
well-filled library on the left of the
lobby. •
Refreshments were set invitingly
upon a table besicte a deep lounge
chair. But Harley declined the man's
request to refresh himself -while wait-
CHAPTER III.

"Had you reason to suspect any
cardiac trouble, Doctor McMurdoch?"
asked Harley.
Doctor McMuedoch, a local 'practi-
tioner who had been a friend of S'ir.
Charles Abingdon, shook his head
slowly. e.
"Was he consulting you profession-
ally, Mr. Harley?" asked the physi
clan.
"He was," replied Harley, staring
faseinatediy at the photograph on the
mantelpiece. "I am informed," said
he, abruptly, "that Miss. Abingdon. is
out of town?"

Doctor McMurdoch nodded in his
slow, gloomy fashion: "She is staying
in Devonshire with poor Abingdon's
sister," he answered. "I,am wonder-
ing how we are going to break the
news to her."
Perceiving that Doctor McMurdoch
had clearly been intimate with the late
Sir Charles, Harley determined to
make use of this opportunity to en-
deavor to fathom the mystery of the
late surgeon's fears. "You will un-
derstand me, Doctor McMurdoch," he
said: "if I venture 0 ask you one or
two rather personal questions respect-
ing Miss Abingdon?"
Doctor McMurdochlowered his
shaggy brows and looked gloomilyat
the speaker. "Mr. Harley," he replied,
"I know yu by reput for a pian of
integrity. But before I answer your
questions will you answer one of
mine?"
"Certainly."

Is a Philistine and a false prophet.
"As Jews, we have no attitude to
Jesus. No Jew hasunless he Is a
Jesus Rabbi," says this Jewish schol-
ar "but as contemporaries of Dr.
Holmes, we have our own thoughts
about the incarnation of the Christian
myth. Jesus achieved what no other
mortal ever has or ever will achieve.
He became the central figure of the
world's history, the very embodiment
of anti -Caesar. Auti-Caesar became
the son of God. There are many anti -
Caesars to -day, There were many
anti:Caesars, one, two, or 500 years
ago, but Jesus of Nazareth, the hum-
ble Jew, was the first anti -Caesar in
history. As a reward, he was ele-
vated to the position of the Son of
God—the highest reward ever re-
ceived by a mortal for a groat mortal
feat. The reward killed Jesus for -the
Jews. He is not acceptable to us and
never will be. Jewish monotheism re-
jects not only doctrines but even sym-
bols liable td becloud its purity.
"The Son of God is a blot upon Jew-
ish monotheism. But the fact that
Jesus is not acceptable to the Jews
does not warrant a Christian Minis-
ter's attempt to relegate him to reli-
gious mummydom."
"Because Jesus was the greatest ex-
ample of pure religion without any
admixture of ethics and politics, he
impressed himself so deeply upon the
shivering souls of a world tortured by
Caesar that he became Christ," con-
tinues Dr. Melamed.
"Since nobody claims that the Bible.
Is a book of science, -its proposed re-
jection on the ground that it doesn't
contain science is a display of Babble
ism," Dr. Melamed concludes. "While
the Bible is not a book of science, it
is a book; of truth, not the relative
truth as found by man but eternal
truth as discovered by genius, by men

"Then my question is . this•: Does
not your interest cease with the death
of your client?"
"Doctor McMurdoch," said Harley,
sternly, "you no doubt believe your-
self to be cting as a friend of this
bereaved fancily. You regard me,
perhaps, as a Paul Pry pehme d by
idle curiosity. On the canti''ary, I
nd myself in a delicate and. embar-
rassing situation. From Sir Charles'
conversation I had gathered that he
entertained certain fears en behalf of
his daughter."
"Indeed," said Doctor Mc1VIurdoch.
"If thee fears ere well grounded,
the danger is not removed, but mere-
ly increased by the death of Miss Ab-
ingdon's natural protector. I regret,
sir, that I approached you for in-
formation, since you have misjudged
my motive."
"Oh," said Doctor McMurdoch,
gloomily, "I'm afraid I've offended
you. But I meant ell, Mr. Harley."
A faint trace of human emotion show-
ed itself in his deep voice. "Charley
Abingdon and I were students to-
gether in Edinburgh," he explained.
"I was inayhap a little strange."
His apology was so evidently sin-
cere that Harley relented at once.
"Please say no ntlore, Doctor Me-
Murdoch," he responded. "I fully
appreciate your feelings in the mat-
ter. At such a time a stranger can
only be an intruder; but" he fixed
