If we mean by a religious awakening,
the revival of doctrinal differences and
the propagation of sects, we hope that day
shall not come.
People have become tired of the
church that has propagated denomination-
al differences and hoisted a flag of “my
doxy is your doxy or you are heterodoxy.”
Because they drop out from attending
the churches that take stock in such prop-
aganda, does not mean they are irreligi-
ous.
Some people can best maintain their
spiritual poise and remain away from
much of that which is branded as a church
service, so far is the nature of the service
from meeting the need of the world. To
brand such persons as being In the ranks
of the unsaved and heathen is entirely
gratuitous matter in many cases.
That we need a death of all this de-
nominationalism and a revival of those
sacred things that make for a united
Christendom, there is no doubt.
The word of the Christ Himself indi-
cates that this world will never come to
the point of believing as it should until
His followers shall drop their differences
denominational and find that unity for

that the convict had been placed

MAKE YOUR ADVERTISING TALK
What’s the use of digging clown and paying the printer
unless your advertising pays you?
And what’s the use of stopping your ads, and saying,
“Oh, advertising doesn’t pay,” when you CAN make it
fairly drag folks into your store?
The service your product gives overlaps the inlercst
the public may have in it, and this, not its history
or manufacture, is the POINT OF SELLING CON-
TACT.
Therefore . . . employ ' atmosphere” to convey the
sense of joy or service, convenience, comfort; rather
than technicalities to impress details on advertising
tired minds. Rut not all pictures and smart talk are
“atmosphere.’' Suggestion should never be over-
reaching or insincere. The science of advertising,
if there be such, lies in this: Make the reader see
FOR HIMSELF that which you are eager to have
him see and doing il WITHOUT eagerness.

spring up, but Poirot restrained me
with a gesture.
“As you say, monsieur, your
entry is somewhat unceremonious.
Will you kindly state your busi-
ness?”
•'Mv dear M. Poirot, it is very
simple. You have been annoying
my friends."
“In what way?"

from his pocket a cigarette case,
and, opening it. took out four ciga-

table. Then lie pit ‘d them up and
■returned them to his case, which
'he replaced in his pocket.
' “Aha!” said Poirot, “so it is like
that, is it? And what do your
friends suggest?"
“They suggest, monsieur, that
lyou should employ your talents--
your very considerable talents—in
the detection of legitimate crime—
'return to your former avocations,
and solve the problems of London

“A peaceful programme," said
Poirot. “And supposing 1 do not
agree?”
The man made an eloquent ges-
ture.
“We should regret it, of course,
exceedingly,” he said. "So would

Very few minutes elapsed before
we heard a noise m the corridor

I he door flung open. The manager
himself stood in lho doorway.
“The man—you have got him?" 1
cried.
"No, monsieur. No one has de-
scended.”
“You must have passed him."
"We have passed no one, mon-
sieur. It is incredible that lie can
have escaped."
“You have passed some one, 1
think," said Poirot, in his gentle
voice. “One of the hotel staff, per-
haps'.'”
"Only a waiter carrying a tray,
monsieur."
"Ah!” said Poirot, in a tone that
spoke infinities.
“So that was why he wore his
overcoat buttoned up to his chin,”
mused Poirot, when wo had finally
got rid of the excited hotel officials.
“I’m awfully sorry, Poirot,” I
murmured, rather crestfallen. "I
thought I’d downed him all right.”
"Yes. that was a Japanese trick,
I fap.y. Do not distress yourself,
man ii,m. All went according to
plan- -his plan. That is what I
wanted."
“What's this?" 1 cried, pouncing

It was a slim pocket-book of
brown leather, and had evidently
fallen from our visitor's pocket dur-
ing his struggle with me. It con-
tained two receipted bills in the

words were scrawled in pencil but

succeed in bribing me? Or, alterna-
tively, in frightening me into aban-

It was at half-past eleven exactly
that the summons came. A pat it
titan. Poirot true it open, then
handed il to me. il was from Ma
dame Olivier, the world-famous sei
entist, whom we had visited yester-
day in connection with the lialliday
case. It asked us to come out to
Passy at once.
We obeyed the summons without
an instant’s delay. Madame Oli-
vier received us in tha same Binall'
salon. I was struck anew with tho
wonderful power of this woman,1
with her long nun’s face and burn-
ing eyes—this brilliant successor of
Becqucrel and tha Curies. She
came to the point at once.
"Messieurs, you interviewed me
yesterday about the disappearance
of M. Halliday. I now learn that you
returned to the house a second time,
and asked to see my secretary, Inez
Veroncau. She left the house with!
you, and has not returned here^
since.”
"Is that all, madame?”
“No, monsieur, it is not. Last
night the laboratory was broken
Into, and several valuable papers-
and memoranda were stolen- The
thieves had a try for something-
more precious still, but luckily they
failed to open the big safe.”
"Madame, these are the facts of
the case. Your late secretary, Ma-
dame Veroneau, was really the
Countess Rossakoff, an expert thief,
and it was she who was responsible
for the disappearance of M. Haiti-
day. How long had she been with
you?”
“Five months, monsieur, What-
you say amazes me.”
“It is true, nevertheless. Thesei
papers, were they easy to And? Or
do you think an inside knowledge-
was shown?”
"It is rather curious that the,
thieves knew exactly where to look.
You think Inez—”
“Yes, 1 have no doubt that it was
upon her information that they-
acted. But what is this precious
thing that the thieves failed to find?
Jewels?” M
Madame Olivier shook her head
with a faint smile.
"Something much more precious
than that, monsieur.” She looked
round her, then bent forward, low-
ering her voice, "liadium, mon-
sieur."
"Radium?"
“Yes, monsieur. I am now at the
crux of my experiments. I possess
a small portion of radium myself—i
more has been lent to me for tha
process I am at work upon. Small
though the actual quantity is, iH
comprises a large amount of tha
world s stock and represents a value
of millions of francs.”
"And where is it?”
"In its leaden case in the big safii
—the safe purposely appears to ha
of an old and worn-out pattern, but
it is really a triumph of the safe-
uiaker’s art. That is probably why
the thieves were unable to open it.”
"How long are you keeping this
radium in your possession?”
“Only for two days more, mon-
sieur. Then my experiments will be
concluded.”
Poirot's eyes brightened.
"And Inez Veroneau is aware of ,
the fact? Good — then our friend!
will come back. Not a word of me
to any one, madame. But rest asl
sured, I will save your radium foi(
you. You have a key of the door
leading from the laboratory to the
gulden?”
“Yes, monsieur. Here it is. I
have a duplicate for myself. And
here is the key of the garden door
leading out into the ulleyway be-
tween this villa and the next one."
"I thank you, madame. To-night,
go to bed as usual, have no fears,
and leave all to me. But not a word
to any one—not to your two assist-
ants — Mademoiselle Claude and
Monsieur Henri, is It not? —particu-
larly not a word to them.”
