CHAPTER III. On the afternoon of the same day on which happened the events previously re- corded, Marjory Beckett paid a charitable visit to the daughter cf a cottager on ihe estate-a child afflicted with an incurable disease. She remained 1 here some rhree- (|i:arters of an hour, and, utter promising the .ltild to spnll her some picture-books, rose and took her departure. As she left the little porch of the cottage, and walked through the draggled potato patch to the gate, a man slipped from the shadow of soiue great holly trees, and sauntered towards the cottage. It 'was Austin Adler. lie reached the garden-gate at the precise moment that Marjory stretched a hand to- wards the decrepit latch, and with a quick .Allow me, Miss Beckett, opened the gate and held it while she j assed through, then as sh ■ turned homeward, he fell into step by her side. This is a pleasant surprise," he said genially. I never expected to have the pleasure of meeting you. Miss Beckett." In her own mind, Marjory questioned that the meeting was in any way a surprise to him. Whilst seated with the invalid child, she had -eon him pass up the road, and the fact that lIe should have been returning so opportunely struck hev as being something more than a coincidence. Indeed, she strongly suspected that he had followed her t) the cottage, and waited for her departure; but she gave no indication of her suspicions JI as she replied, I have been to see a child _i ) ;e e silo there who is suffering from curvature of the spine. l'oor little mite, it is a dreary out- look for her. Her father earns sixteen shillings per week, and there are four other email children." Austin Adler an opportunity and took it. "All. that sounds a hard case indeed, Mis", Beckett, ami as you are interested in the case, I should like to do something for the child. If you can tell me what is wanted I should ho happy to do what can be done." For a moment Marjory hesitated. She easily divined the reason which led her com- panion to make this offer, and knew, just as certainly as if he had told her, that the offer was made in order to associate himself with lie!, charities; but solicitude for the child led her to brush all consideration of this on one side. Very little can be done for the child's she answered quietly. "She will probably lie a cripple for life. What would be of considerable advantage to her is one of those small perambulators which can be propelled by the hands of the I«ersoi. occupying if. The child has so little opportunity of ever getting l>eyond that wretched garden, but wuh a carriage of that description worked by levers she would be able to move about the road here, and make little journeys. I liane often thought of getting one, but I have so many claims on me. It is astonishing how many poor people there are in this parish." Mr. Adler nodded his head sympatheti- cally. If you will buy the carriage and allow me to pay for it, Miss Beckett, I shall lie greatly obliged to you. The child cer- tainly ought to have it, if you think so." tautly yugld to han' il. if you think so." Marjory Hushed a little. She had thought I that if she mentioned the carriage, possibly the millionaire would have sent it. She had not dreamed of his associating herself with t he purchase of it, and at first she demurred ■' odd it not be better if you were to attend to the matter yourself, Ir. Adler? You know what is wanted, you arc often in toivn-1, "My dear Miss Beckett," he laughingly protested, "when I am in town I am the most over-worked man in tile lit-itisli Isles. I should probably forget all about the matter to my shame I say it, but it is the fact; and besides I have not the remotest idea where. carriages of this sort are to be bought. If it had been a motor-car now "We can hardly make it that!" sho laughed. Then it must 11(, left in your haIHI," h paid Yoil get just what is wantcj and send the bill to me, and above All the thing is to be kept secret; neither the child nor anyone else must know the gift como-j from me."

If my memory serves me, the banknotes were forwarded anonymously and acknowledged in the lists in the usual way.

Though how those newspaper fellows traced the fact I cannot guess." As a matter of fact there was no need for him to guess. He knew; and a certain Publicity Agency which, for a consideration undertook to give publicity to all who had need of it, could have made some startling revelations if it had chosen. But Marjory knew nothing of that, and MI was agreeably impressed by this unobtrusive eharity. "Then you did send all that moneye" she cried ON He laughed a little. or I will own to the deed." lie said, "but tell it not in Oath, Miss Beckett; nor whisper it even in Arling- ton." But. why should you not let the fact be knownr" she asked. "If I had given a fortune like that to a noble cause. I "You," he broke in, "are different. If vou had' given it the world would have said it was a noble gift: but if I had made it in my own name, I should have been accused of vulgar display. And even if one is a millionaire, he may have feelings like other people, and the instincts of a gentleman. That is why I make my gifts anonymou-ly." Marjory Was yet further impressed, and • beheld the millionaire in a more favourable light that she ever had done before.

CHAPTER IV. The man -who had spoken to Marjory Beckett by tfle stile—the lean man with the hawk-like face and be-ringed ears—was walk- ing by the somev.3t.Vt decrepit wail which bounded Arliagtc i Mamr. There was some- thing furtive in liis movements, and from time to time he glanced round to see that tli3 road was clear. Presently he came to a- place where the wall was broken down, and, after making sure that he was not observed, he climbed th? breach and slipped among the shrubs and trees on the other side. The cover afforded by these was considerable, and in the shallow of them he waited and looked tllottf- him. Presently, feeling sure that -to one inside the wall had observed 1,; intriKinn. lip, crpixt forward vprv cautiously. Tnere was an air ot c-xtreni?- neglect about the shrubbery; trailing brambles impeded his movements, and once lis trod on a dry stick which in the stillness •cracked like a pistol :"aot. An oath ripped from him, nd he ,sloip;>ed hastily into the shelter of an overgrown rhododendron, listen- ing intently. Apparently no one had taken alarm at the sound of the snapping twig, and after a little time, ho moved forward once more. As he advanced the shrubbery grew less dense, and very shortly lie found himself within half-a-dozen yards of a wide lawn, on the opposite side of which stood the house itself, a beautiful old Tudor mansion. He examined the windows of the house care- fully. There was no one to be seen, and re- assured against observers in tdiat quarter, he locked about him for the object which was the occasion of this furtive visit. He found it in the very middle of the lawn—the famous Arlington sundial. It stood o-,i ;) title 'toll.' pedestal, raised on three steps which formed (n it an octagonal base, and as his eyes fell on it an eager gleam came in them. He looked again towards the house, then hungrily towards the dial. plainly wondering whether lie dare cross the grass awl examine it-. A rumble came to his ear and the noise of shuttling steps on the gravel. He tinned hastily in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a grizzled elderly man tiundling a barrow in front of him. This individual advanced at a leisurely pace until he was within some ten yards of the watcher's hiding-place, 1lien setting down tho barrow, he took from it a broom and slowly and methodically began to sweep up the fallen leaves on the lawn. An expression (f disgust came on the watcher's face. Clearly the object he had in vie w was not to be attained so long as the gardener continued hI" operations. Then he had a new cause for alarm. A fox terrier dog came round the corner of the house, find, seeing the man at work, bounded across the lawn to him, barking joyously. The hawk-faced one recognized that if it "should take to nosing among the bushes he would inevitably he discovered, and imme- diately, usiag all caution, he began to retreat towards the wail. Without mishap he reached the breach by which he had gained admission, and raising his head, looked round to make sure that the coast was clear. II was not. T\v ) gentlemen were strolling down the road affably conversing together. One of them was Sir George Beckett, and the other was Mr. Austin Adler. As he became iware of their presence the trespasser ducked, and crouching behind the wall waited for iilielil to go. From his position lie could command a view of tie? road, and as the two pedestrians approached he glanced at them with idle cu i iosit v. As he did =o a sculled look came on his face, his keen eyes opened wide in amaze- I meat, am: ne nan si area ironi ms matng- I place. Then he sank back and stared at Adler with eyes that had suddenly tilled with wrath, and his hands were clenched. Scarcely had the two men passed when he rose in his place, and, looking over the wall, shook his fist at the unconscious Adler. So I've found yon at last," he said in a hissing whisper. "And I thought you were dead. Well, we will see now who L; the better man. Diamond Jim." He waited until the couple were almost out of fcii'ht, and leaping the.wall he began to stalk tnem af a "discreet (. I'll find out where he lives, then I He left the muttered threat unfinished, as I a motor-car, coming down the road, picked up the two men in front, but the menacing expression on his face boded no good to Mr. Austin Adler. « That night old Tom Grindrod, the gar- dener, and man-of-all-work for Boger Arling- ton, was roused by the barking of the dog at the rear of the house. He listened, think- ing that pos.-ibly the cry of a fox or the movement of some creature of the night had disturbed tile But the clamour con- tinued, and at last, convinced that there was some other cause for the dog's restlessness, and with the thought of burglars in his mind, he lit a candle and liegan to drag on his clothes. The noise of hm movements awakened hit wife, who sat up and inquired a trifle grumpily "'Why, Tom, my man, wliatever's to dor" lie explained, and suggested burglars, but she laughingly pooh-poohed the notion. There's nothing to steal at Arlington, as everybody knows. What on earth should they come here for when there's half-a-dozen richer houses in the neighbourhood. It's Mr. Roger letting himself in. He went over to Hayburn this afternoon and left word that he wouldn't be hack till very late. Get into bed, man, and don't make a fool of your- self." But Tom Grindrod was a stubborn man, and not to be thus easily turned from his purpose. "Th' dot' wouldn't baric like that, if it I were Mr. Roger. Listen' Certainly the barking of the dog was some- thing more than a welcoming one; but Mrs. Grindrod was not disposed to admit it. "Oh, well," she said, go an' make a goose of yourself if you want to. but don't waken me when you come in, that's all." 1 won't," answered old Tom meekly. Then taking up the candle he left the room, passed through the vacant servants' quarters, and down the back staircase to the rear of the house. lie listened. Except for the barking of the dog all was quiet there, and after searching diligently lie could find no cause for alarm. The door was locked and barred, and none of the windows had been tampered with. He moved now towards the front of the house. The great hall door was fastened with a modern Yale lock, and the catch was as he had left it, that when he returned his master might open it with his key. lIe turned into the dining-room, and was mov- ing towards the windows to examine the fas- tenings. when his eye was caught by a blight beam of light OIl the lawn outside. Jehosopliat!" he exclaimed in amaze- ment,then promptly blew out his own light, the better to observe the one outside, without attracting attention to himself. The light, very bright in quality, came as he guessed from an acetylene lamp, and whilst he watched it moved around in a very small radius. "What in thunder is it? and who wants a light like that OIl the lawn at this time? By jingo, whoever lie is, he's at the sundial, though what he wants wi' a sundial at tbi* time o' th' night beats me. Anyway, he's 310 business there, and I guess I'd best go an' cbiit him." He left the room, and going to the hall door opened it as quietly as lie could. Stepping on to the grass he made & straight line towards the sundial, moving silently. Drawing nearer he made out the figures of two persons who, by the light of an acetylene cycle-lamp, were examining the dial. and to his amazement one of them was the figure of n woman. "Well I'm blessed," lie whispered to him- self, then having come very close to the in truders without being observed, lie asked sharply, "Hey. what are yo' doing here?" j The result of his question was one quito unlooked for. At this sudden and unex- pected demand, the woman gave utterance to a startled cry, whilst her companion swing- ing round smote him savagely on the head with a heavy stick, and without uttering another word he crumpled up and fell prone like a dead man. For a moment there was a silence like that of the grave, then the woman whispered hoarsely, "I hope you haven't killed him, j Jack." The man turned the light on his victim and glanced at him casually. Xo fear of lie said carelessly, "I didn't strike hard enough." Then ho looked round. "What did you shout for It was a fool thing to do. I hope 110 one heard you." "I hope not the woman whispered back, adding, "I was startled." 1. As a matter of fact some one had heard the cry, and that someone, in the person of Roger Arlington himself, vras hurrying towards the scene of their operations. Beturning home, as he entered the gates of 1 the Manor, he had been astonished to see a bright light flashing- on the lawn in front of the house. Wondering what it might be, he had already quickened his pace, when the woman's startled cry broke the stillness of f the night. At that sound, he began to run, and was still running when he reached the point where the carriage road opened out on the lawn, and gave him a view of the light shining in the neighbourhood of the sundial. The woman, listening anxioush*, caught the sound of his hurrying steps 0111 ie gravel. There's someone coming," she said, in an urgent whisper. "Nonsense," said the ii),i ii Yoiir uerves——" He broke off. He also had caught the sou ml of the stepr, and in a twinkling he turned ) the bull's eye of the lantern towards him, whilst he felt for the catch. For one moment his face showed clearly in the white glare, a hawk-like face with small rings of gold in the ears, the face of the man who had examined the sundial from the shelter of the shrubbery a few lioiii-q before. He purged his lips, gave a sudden puff, and the light went out., As it was extinguished, Boger Arlington striking the edge of the lawn, began to run quickly over the short grasq. Between the sudden disappearance of the light which had dazzled his eyes and the intense darkness of the night, he could see nothing, and had 1 reached the sundial before he was aware of It. Two shadows loomed suddenly out of the blackness, standing on the octagonal base of the sundial. He ],,I(' just time to become aware of them. when some heavy body lying on the ground caught his feet, and he was flung 011 the lawn. Before he could pick himself up, there was a sound of hurried movement, a woman's skirts brushed his face, and this was followed by the sound of steps fleeing across the lawn. (To be Continued.)

GOD'S STANDARD IS PJRFECTrOX. r THE CHRISTIAN MUST DEVELOP CHARACTER-LIKENESS TO CHRIST. March 20th. Pastor RiMseH preachcd a very interesting discourse to-day on Holi- ness. His text was: "As He who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation" (I. Peter i. 15). Ho said in parts The Scriptures explicitly declare that our gracious Creator made man in His own in, image .and likeness, and pronounced His creatures very good. When sin entered into the world, through the disobedience of Father Adam, they were cut off from fellow- ship with their Creator—as' a part; of the penalty of sin. This alienation from God must have been one of their most grievous trials. As centuries rolled on and Adam's pos- terity became more and more depraved and demoralised, the original character-likeness to God became indistinct. So this de- sire for God ostill remains, yet in some it is more pronounced than in others. In .some it is so feeble that; they care little for their Creator, and are easily satisfied by the plea- sures of this world, or br the eeiibiialities of life. Many are separated from God through ignorance, superstition, and the doctrines of demons, as the Bible declares. Misunder- standing our gracious Creator, they are thus driven away from Him. Whatever of natural inclination they may have had the Adversary peeks to thwart. But with some of the race desire for God and righteousncss has prevailed above the stupefying influence of the world, the and the Devil. This class is drawn by tbo natural inclination of their minds God-ward I —desiring to be in harmony with their Creator. While those who were not born of religious parents have had a large experience, in sin and alienation from God, others, born I in a measure of justification, have had a measure of fellowship with God always, as children of believers. This class is in a favourable condition to be drawn of God, to hear His voice speaking peace to them and pointing them to Jesus Christ a the Way. the Truth, and the Life. THE CALL OF THE GOSPEL AGE. The Scriptures inform this class that the first step to be taken is one of faith. Be- lievc on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou slialt be saved." They must recognise that they are sinners, under the Adamic death sen- tence. from which 110 one can be freed except in God's appointed way—Jesus. Then by faith they must accept Jesus as the Redeemer of Adam' and his posterity. They must per- ceive that his death oil Calvary was a sacrifi- cial one; and that the grand outcome of this Ransom-sacrifice will be the Kingdom of God, established for the purpose of uplifting man- kind out of sin and death conditions—back to the full image of God in the flesh. Those who take this first step may know what is the second step if they have sufficient faith to take it, their sins will be forgiven and they will be granted a new nature. This second step is to present their bodies a liv- e(? 0 ing sacrifice, holy. acceptable unto God, their reasonable service." Those who accept this invitation are privileged to sacrifice their little all of earthly time, talent, wealth, &c. Then our Lord imputes to them individually his merit, and thus makes them holy and acceptable unto God. who immediately begets them of His Holy Spirit. Apparently some of God's dear people have >, not realised what a. contract they have on hand. All the consecrated must remember that their first obligation is in respect to their own flesh, not that of others. We may give each other valuable suggestions, but the re- sponsibility for the body rests with each as a New Creature and here we have the task of our lives for in our flesh, as the Apostle says, dwells no perfection. Some are more imper- fect and blemished in one way, and others in another. There is none righteous [perfect], f no, not oue." THE NEW CREATURES IN SCHOOL. Whoever would be of the Church class must of necessitv be developed; therefore, whoever God has called, accepted, and begotten of the Holy Spirit are in the School of Christ.

He had given lie had fought two elections for his party, and was fsoon to' fight one for himself. When r.ext his party was in power his barony was a certain thing, for he had played for it with V inning cards. But of all that Marjory knew nothing, nnd as he finished speaking she said impul- sively, "I am very glad you gave -,ne that explanation, Mr. Adler. It i«. a gnat shame (hat a man's good deeds should be so mbre- firesented. You have my deepest sympathy." I'or one moment Austin Adler was tempted h try his luck. The girl was in a melting mood such as lie had not known her to be in before. The moment was a sympathetic one. It was just possible that if lie asked h-r now —then lie put the temptation from him. It would never do to make a false start, lie must be quite sure that refusal should not he ell remotely possible, before he asked her to marry him. So he responded quietly. "Believe me, I am very grateful, Miss Beckett." By this time they had reached a point where the road forked, her road lying one way and his another, and lie was about, t-i make an excuse for accompanying her to the Abbey, when that happened which made his intention abortive. Roger-Arlington, with a gUll over his shoulder and a spaniel dog at his heels, crossed her homeward road sonu score of yards in front of them. He was preoccupied, and did not observe them; but as soon as Marjory saw him she turned quickly to her companion with her hand out- stretched. "There is Mr. Arlington; please forgive me leaving you like this, Mr. Adler, there ?s something I IllIlt speak to him about. I'm awfully sorry to seem rude, but "PIase don't apologize, Miss Beckett," he answered,smilingly,"there is no need. I!e hdd her hand for a moment, and then said, Vou will not forget that poor child, will you,- "Or, of course, not, Mr. Adler." "And remember the more deeply you plunge me in debt, the better I shall be pleased. Good afternoon." A moment later she was running down the road after the unconscious Hoger, and as lie watched her the face of the man Aviiom she had left grew dark. "Confound that fellow," lie muttered "lie is the rock til),Dii which I shall make shipwreck if I am rot caretul.

"Hullo, is that you, Bus-oilr I'm Adler. I to know about those Arlington mort- gages. Has the interest been paid yetr" He waited a moment, then the answer came back.

This transforming is not merely a work in the flesh it is the re- newing of the mind. Thereafter matters are to be decided, not according to their own preferences, but according to certain prin- ciples—justice and love. The New Creatures in Christ have a -set of new rules, altogether different from what they had before they be came New Creatures. Everything done by those in the School of Christ must be squared by the Rule of Jus- tice. To the full extent of their ability, the Ncw Creature must cultivate justice. Many of the Lord's people apparently have not fully realised that obedience to the rule* governing the new nature means abrolutcly the Golden Rule on their part. Because of the failure of some to recognise this prin- ciple. the way of the Lord is spoken evil of sometimes, If a Christian fails to pay his debts, it is because this principle of justice does not stand out prominently enough before his mind. As an old creature he has, perhaps, been in the habit of ignoring justice and of leaving others in the lurch. This will not do and no matter how much the old creature may seek to shirk, the New Creature must bring the body into subjection, and fee that justice rules in every act and word, and so far as possible in every thought. THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF, GOD." To whatever extent the principles of justice control our minds we have character-likeness to God. The cultivation of these principles in actions, words, and thoughts must be our daily concern. It may be comparatively easy so far as money is concerned, but it is not so easy to ba thoroughly just in our words and thoughts. The New Creature is to sit in judg- ment on every word which his mouth may utter. It is 110 wonder that St. Janies says -that if any man sin not with his tongue the same is a perfect man. One must be just in thought. Whoevei thinks unjustly will act unjustly, in spite of himself; therefore the New Creature must never think of anyone except with an unpre- judiced mind, a calm judgment, seeking to give others the benefit of the doubt. Addi- tionally, he must heed the Lord's counsel that we exercise great mc-rcy, and err rather in being too lenient than be merely just. God was only just when He condemned mankind as unfit for everlasting life; and He would still have been just if He had provided 110 opportunity for the world whatever. God is more than just, however; and so in due time He provided the Redeemer. This was Grace, this was Mercy, this was Love. Love has been working all through His great plan of the Ages, providing first the Saviour, then making provision for the Church, that through His mercy we might come from the tanks of sinners up to tlio ranks of glory. To accomplish this. He has forgiven the oins of the Church, has encouraged them all the way, and has made all things work together foi their good.
