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

to what Is generally known as tba
Holland Park murder, Is, though
something In the nature of a prece
dent, one which we venture to think
will meet the hearty approval of
the general public.
"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

single sheet of typewritten paper,
headed with the address of the

of meeting you personally anil dis

you have sufficiently recovered to

Molly gave a little cry and looked
up with apnrkllng eyes. "Isn't that
too lovely. I wonder what all the
chattering tools who thought you
were guilty will have to say now?"
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."

REDEMPTION GOD'S
CORRECTIVE PLAN
FOR SINFUL MEN
; Speaking Sunday morning fromth
: Church of the Nazaren pulpit, Fred
M. Wcathcrford, pastor - evangelist,
lifted as hla topic "The Blaze of
Time's Untried Future." 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.

seeing eye of the Great Judge for
every disobedience of man will be
brought Into Judgment.
"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.
