PAGK SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKL), OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 22. 1935. Chapter 47 GOOD NEWS "COMETHINQ they wanted to keep out of the newspapers?" I Inter rupted. "That atrlkea me ai singu larly considerate of them, but a Ut ile belated." "You mean?" aald Mr. Cresawell. ! "I mean that when I waa In the middle of my particularly disgusting mess, nobody, least of all the gov ernment, was worried about what got Into the news." "1 know how you feel," aald Jerry. "Nevertheless, you'll agree that the less re hashing that's done, the bet ter for everybody. Anyway, they do want to keep this quiet. "In order to do that It was neces sary to obtain our agreement, and iince you, as the principal party con cerned, were laid up with a cracked shoulder, Mr. Cresswell and I had been Invited to represent the three !Of US." ' "Why didn't they ask me?" de ! manded Molly. . "It was a little awkward," ex plained Mr. Cresswell soothingly. "Since you are a naturalized Ameri can citizen the position was a dis tinctly delicate one. It was felt that you would have to be approached In a more Indirect form." Molly laughed. "That makes me feel frightfully Important. Qo aneaa, Jerry; 1 won't Interrupt again." "It seems," continued Jerry cheer fully, "that without exactly mean ing to, we've rendered a vastly Im portant service to our King and country. As soon as Mr. Cresswell fired in that statement of ours to the police, the first thing they did was to raid Orion's flat and offices. "1 don't know precisely what they found Beckenham didn't tell us that but, anyhow, It was quite enough to prove that for the last two yeara he'd boon getting hold of all aorts of valuable information and passing It on to his pals at Moscow. "I can tell you they aren't halt pleased at having him out of the way, especially It It can be fixed up without any fuss or scandal. What eema to have put the crown on the whole business Is this blessed for mula of Molly's. Beckenham says that It the Soviet leadera had once laid their handa on that there'd probably have been another Euro pean war." UTIAVE they any objection to our ll selling It to Avon ?" 1 asked. "Not under certain conditions. They're Id touch with him, of course, and 1 Rather that the negotiations are getting along nicely." "What about the rest of the gang apart from Orloff?" "There were only three others down at Hambrldge; two of them were sailors off the ship, and the third, our waiter friend, seems to have been a sort of unofficial link between rotor and the Bolshlea. "They all got back safely on board, and the skipper pushed off tor Russia, next morning. Frpm our people's point of view It's the best way out, The one thing they want to avoid la any sort of publicity." "And that nasty little reptile Dim! trl? Is he going to get oft scot free?" "Not by a long chalk. They've roped him In for coming over here with a dud passport. He'll be had up before a magistrate next week and shipped off quietly to the States. I gather that the New York police will be quite pleased to soe him." "When are they going to do some thing tor Nick?" demanded Molly. "Isn't It about lime . . ." "I was coming to that." Jerry'a eyes twinkled mischievously. "I sup pose you've been too busy talking to each other to have a look at the morning paper?" He reached out for a folded copy of the Dally Telegraph, which Daw son had brought In to ma Just be fore Molly's arrival. "Here you are," he added, opening It. "Peruse this, my children, and be thankful you have a senso of humor." He dabbed his flniter on an edito rial at the lop of the second col umn, and leaning over It with our heads close together, Molly and -I read as follows: "The announcement issued by the Homo Office last night with regard LONELY SETTLERS IN NEEO OF E000 flOSRBURO, Ore , Jan 22 (4 Word was brought to Roseburg of the plight of more than a score of famine In the CalUhan trail settle ment at the summit of the C0.1M range, resulted this morning in the sending of a crew to the Melro.

"When Indisputable evidence as to the responsibility for a crime cornea into the hands of the author ities, and the guilty party Is no longer within the reach of Justice, It la only fair to others whose Inter ests may be deeply concerned that some official statement should be is sued to the Press. "la the present Instance we are glad to have the opportunity of of fering our most sincere congratula tlona to that brilliant young sculp tor, Mr. Nlcholaa Trench, whose re cent trial and acquittal has provid ed one of the most sensational causei edtbret of the last few years. "It Is deplorable that an Innocent man should have been compelled to undergo such unmerited suffering, but human wisdom Is fallible and the police must not be unduly blamed for acting on what they had reason to regard at the time as re liable evidence. "We trust that now Mr. Trench has been so completely and dramat ically vindicated, he will derive some consolation from the aympathy of his fellow countrymen and their warm admiration for the courage and dignity with which he faced his distressing ordoal. The most happy aspect of this unfortunate affair Is that It affords one more proof, If proof were needed, that British Jus tice Is still the fairest and most Im partial In the world." , ITTELL," demanded Jerry with a ' chuckle. "What do you think of it?" "Splendid," I said. "I shall have It cut out and framed. It will look very One banging up In the studio." I bent over the paper again, "By the way, where Is this precious announce ment? I haven't seen it yet." "Oh, It's there on the front page. Just a short statement that the au thorities are now satlsllcd that Gowlland was the murderer, and that no one else had anything to do with It." "Yes, that's all very fine and nice," Molly louked up Indignantly, "but "Walt," Jerry said Impressively, "the vital part of our message has yet to be dellvored." He turned to me. "I have a lottor for you here, Nick. Beckenham thought It would be a pretty and appropriate touch II I were to hand It to you myself." He produced a large aqunre official-looking envelope from his pock et and passed it across. "You can road It, too. Molly," he added. Tearing open tho flap I (I row out Us contents, which consisted of a single sheet of typewritten paper, headed with the address of the Board of Works. Dear Sir. 1 am Instructed to Inform you that the design submitted by you for the projected Hyde Park Mo mortal han been definitely selected hy the Committee on the terms set out In their orlRlnnl statement.

I stared at the letter a trlflo doubt fully. "It's a big compliment," I ad mitted, "but I should tcol Just a shade more enthusiastic It I were quite sure that I'd won It on my mer its. It looks rather like a cheap got out on the part of the Heme Secre tary." Jerry laughed. "You needn't wor ry about that, old man. Beckenham told me that as a matter of fact the Committee had decided to accept your design the very day before you were arrested. Thoy couldn't give It you then, of course, and the whole question had to be reconsidered. That's why they've been such a ter ribly long time in making the award. You've no call to be uppish."

An eicerpt ; of his me&sage Is here given. 1 "There Is no truth of Qod'a enun ciation that Is nubject to challenge, , The scheme of redemption Is Ood's I corrective plan to save and reform 'sinful men. Hell Is Ood's pay-sta-'tlon or compensation commensurate to tho measure of sin In the life of man. "A curse pronounced upon man as the result of sin In the beginning 'Dust thou -art and unto dust halt ; thou return.' or physical death, be came a universal blessing, and the certainty of Its Infliction la one of the most effective disciplinary measures In the government of Ood. Just as certain as physical death I Is, so certain Is eternal punishment !to the disobedient. "All are ready to admit that law Is necessary to civil government. lAnd by the same reasoning, penalty ; is necessary to law. If all men felt , that the penalties of our civil laws would be executed upon them as i result of their violation, crime would cease; but man has a per i.uaslon in his criminal pursuits that he can escape the penalty ot law. i Many times he is successful, but he 'shall never be able to escape the all- 1 wotMOEt? where mv bibTCR i)' jHE.'?) been OUT ALL DAY- I HOPE HE MNT COME TO 6OME LOW BROV oiCNIiC- SHE'LL Di'bGRACE rvE SOCI ALLV ":;sf Ssuwiiw- B,CMP.;. go JJ tjj jj " ., ,- t, 1835. by Th- Bell Syndic.!., Inc.)

"Many apparently sincere people seem to be laboring under the mis apprehension that eternal punish ment Is an Infliction of unjust cause; whereas It Is merely the comple tion of the law of cause and ef fect. Punishment la merely the effect of the cause. In this Instance sin ut the cause and punishment the ef fect. You cannot eliminate hell, nor can call Ood unjust. Ood can, and seeks to, eliminate from man the cause, which Is sin, and thus re move the effect, which Is eternal punishment. The fact of eternal punishment la evidence of the be nevolent goodness of god, that the righteous may not be eternally em barrassed by the hellish deeds of the wicked. And from the fact that God obligated himself In making a pro vlsary remedy through Jesus Christ to change the course of the .wicked in time. "The penalty of death la the most dreaded evil that men suffer In the present world; for this reason It la made the final lnfllcatlon of punitive Justice for crimes commit ted against human government. 'Hold God s burning candle over the pit of your heart and look Into the depths of that walled -up black ness and cry to Ood, to apply the remedy that makes It whiter than enow." There was one soul who made a profession of faith during the day.
