and dismissed them. No finer lesson on
business can be found than the story of
the master who entrusted his servants with
capital and returned to find that the five-
talent man and the two-talent mpn had in-
creased theirs but the one-talent man hid
his in the earth and made nothing of it.
The first two heard that classic praise:
“Well done thou good and faithful ser-
vant; thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many
things.”
Our modern efficient American busi-
ness has been built on the faithful courage
to do little jobs well. Henry Ford in his
bicycle shop; John D. Rockefeller on his
bookkeeper stool; Walter Chrysler, ma-
chine-shop laborer, were first faithful ov-
er a few things. These men did not ex-
pect the government to take care of them.
They were not envious of others who had
succeeded. They did little jobs well and
grew into great jobs.
There is something splendid about
men and women who work faithfully in in-
lonspicious and ordinary trades.
If you think your job is uninteresting
look deeper and try to find better ways of
doing it. If you can feel that you are play-
ing a definite part in the work of the
world, you will take pride in your job and
vou will grow with it.
There is a man who keeps the grounds
of a public building in an East Texas city,
who seems to me to fit the Bibieal phrase,
“diligent in business.” He is at work at
daylight and toil until dark keeping the
Faithfulness, The Basis
Of Being Promoted
So many good things are couched in
the following editorial appearing in the grass and flowers beautiful for the enjoy-
“East Texas” from the pen of Hubert Har- ment of the citizens. He told me the
rison, secretary of the East Texas Chamber f,owers and the £rass “belong to the peo-
ple.” He honors his job and it is f.n honor
of Commerce, that we pass it on. There
are those who think they get the hot end
of things, when really they are diligent in
anything. After all the Book of Books is
exactly that because it registers what is
to him.

without good alleys that it will
really be a rare treat to have
this wonderful addition to the ctiy.

CHAPTER XLII
"We haven’t searched any of his
belongings,” I said. “I’ll go up.
come on along.’’
The nurse, knowing Harper,
didn’t scctn surprised. Evidently she
guessed that it all had something
to do with some crime or other. She
made no comment ns we started the
learrh.
The first we found were news-
paper clippings about the murder.
That would be natural for almost
»ny butler, living on an adjoining
/state, to clip these, we agreed in
vhispers.
Then we found a small note-book,
‘n it were the addresses of ten peo-
ple. 1 recognized a number of them;
they wero people of society and
wealth.
"Places where he has worked, in
his search,” I whispered.
Foxcroft shrugged his shoulders.
Harper nodded.
Nothing else in the steamer trunk
or drawers or small wall desk that
would give us a hint. I looked in the
bath room. There was an old fash-
ioned shaving mug, unlettered. In
it was an old fashioned razor In a
worn leather case. I examined this
and brought It out.
It bore the name of a firm in Zu-
rich!
"He bought his razor in Zurich 1”
I declared, with a bit of triumph.
That was all we could do there.
Major Forrest told us the little
ha knew about Mason. He had
worked for him a little more than
two years. He had come with ex-
cellent references and his work al-
ways had been beyond reproach.
Mason had claimed to he English.
Ha aeemed to have no noticeuble no
cant of any aort.
Foxcroft said, "Just keep tabs on
Lardeau, as a matter of form. It
looks as though the old boy told
everything straight.”
They left. The folks retired,
talked with Lardeau and Dave over
a bottle of wine, for another hour.
My brother Phil came home. He had
been out to a dance with a local girl
and ho was disgusted to think that
he hadn't been home to see the
deau was the name of the man who
had him put in jail. Ho knew that
I, having taken the painting there,
was the one who, even more than
my father, insisted that he be jailed.
That, and perhaps the fear that 1
recognized him at the house—if it
were this man, mind you, may have
been his reason for trying to kill me
as soon as possible."
“But what a risk—playing sick so
ns not to have you see him at the
table—then sneaking out back of
the shrubs with all of us not ten
feet away I”

light and kill Mr. Montieth, would

a wine and went to
Doctor Sutton came over early,
with a day nurse.
"Well, it looks more promising,”
he reported, when he came down
from the room, “it is a contusion,
not a fracture. It he doesn’t come
out of his coma in another twelve
hours I shall operate, trepan, to re-
lieve the pressure.”
"And then he will talk?” I asked.
“He can talk, then. Whether he
will depends on how he feels about
it."
“He’ll talk," I said, grimly.
Sergeant Harper was over after
this. He said that the rust-stained
loop in the window cord fitted, per-
fectly, to every rust spot in the eye-
let of the sash weight.
“This cord that hanged Brauman
canto from Mason's window, and
that's enough evidence to send hint
to the chair," Harper said.
He decided to hang around for n
while. I went up to see Mary.
When she learned what had hap
pened she telephoned Howard Gris-
wold at once, i imagine that he was
mighty hopeful. She said he was
coming right over.
The silver rood, Harper agreed,
had had altogether too much han-
dling by myself, my wife's people
and Mason, to make ii worth 8 'tile
to try to get finger prints. Harper
wanted it.
"Give him the drink, and let u»
know when we can go in,” I said.
Ten minutes later she opened the
door and beckoned.
Sergeant Harper and Professor
Lardeau, at my request,followed me,
but stood back by the door. Mason
—we will call him for the moment—
was staring out of the window. I
walked over to the bed.
“Mason,” I said.
"Yes, sir.”
"The devil you’re Mason—you’re
Fritz Lutzmann—you made this
thing!" I held up the silver rood
with the blade out. “You killed Mon-
tieth with it!”
Ho stared at me and actually
smiled.
“That is right. It is right that I
am Lutzmann, Mr. Stevenson, it is
right that 1 made the rood knife,
and it is right, and just, that I
killed the man who stole my wife,
stole a painting nnd so sent me to
jail and ruined my life. Nothing
matters now.”
“You killed Brauman!"
“The fool came to me for money
he saw me."
“Then you hanged him with the
cord from your window, and last
night you tried to kill Lardeau."
“Didn’t 1 kill him? I should-
that is had. He sent me to jail—he
laughed when I swore nty wife had
been stolen -he recognized me. 1 am
sure, up at the house that day. I am
sorry it was dark and I slipped and
didn’t finish him.’’
"It means the chair. Will you
make a confession?”
"I have. I won’t live for the
chair. I—1— ’’
The nurse came over.
"lie’s weak, can’t you let him get
stronger?” she asked.
We promised, and went out.
I rushed to the telephone and got
Mary, to tell her the news, knowing
that Howard Griswold was up there
with her, awaiting the word that
would clear him.
We went down to finish our in-
terrupted luncheon.
The nurse came down and asked
me to send for the doctor again.
"He is much worse, he asked me
to have the doctor, he said his head

everything, the Lardeau story and

"It all depends—if this man dies,
what then?" he asked.
At that very moment Russel came
out with the information that the
nurse wanted me.
I took Harper along with me, and
also Professor Lardeau. I asked
them to wait !n lb" halt nnd tapped
on the door. The nurse came out
and closed the door.
