"THE ®y CHAMMING WLIOCK >9 H.W iAVttITItLB

BEGIN HERE TODAY Dllly Gilliam, her mother, Mrs. Gil11am of “Gilliam Groce rice. Inc.," with Mrs. Leila Thorn bury, a divorcee, are trtmmine a Christmas tree cn Chrietmai eve in the vestry of the Church of the Nativity, a fashionable church of New York. Mrs. J. Orson Tice, wealthy, and a society leader, comes in with Jerry Goodkind. a man-about-town. who is interested In Clare Jewett, engaged to marry the assistant rector of the church, in bad favor because of • his radical sermons. Dr. Wadham. the rector, drops In to attend a meeting of the wardens. Mr. Barnaby _s sexton of the church. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “IW/i didn’t know you were yy Mrs, Tice returned the bow with awkward reverence. “I didn't know you’d been away, doctor,-” Jerry said. “Ten days,” the rector explained, extending a pudgy hpjid, “attending the conference on the proper use of eucharlstic candles. It's a subject on which I feel rather strongly.” He turned to the bedecked tree upon which Mr. Barnaby was working diligently. “And what a beautiful tree! The star lights up, I suppose.” “We have hopes,” said Dilly skeptically. “Don’t let me interrupt—l’ve only dropped in £b keep an appointment with the wardens.” “We re aU through,” said Mrs. Gilliam, dusting, her hands, "except for putting these gifts under the tree.

“l WANT TO TALK TO YOU," HE SAID. Miss Jewett will be in in a minute with the rest. The star is real imitation diamonds. A gift from Mrs. Tice.” “Speaking of gifts, doctor —” interrupted Mrs. Tice, advancing. “Yes, dear lady,” said the rector complacently. * “My husband wanted me to have a little talk you about his check. You know, he promised $5,000 to beautify the parlor of the parish house.” "Oh, yes,” said Dr. Wadham, shifting his hand to his chin in a gesture that was a Bub-conscious move of selfdefense when he scented trouble. “And since then —well, frankly, doctor. John was very much upset about last Sunday’s sermon. Mr. Gilchrist preached from the text about the rich man entering the kingdom of heaven.” “Always y. trifle da.ngerous.” agreed ; he 9 “Yes, and last Sunday it seemed as if he were directing all his remarks t John. We re in the - first pew, you know, and John says he doesn’t like to complain, but there's getting to be .ltogether too much of this—bolshevism. John says the preachers are • ilore than half to blame for the pres-

BETTER THAN WHISKEY FOR COLDS AND FLU Delightful Elixir, Called Aspironal, Medicated With Latest Scientific Remedies That Are Endorsed by Medical Authorities to Cut Short a Cold or Cough Due to Cold and Prevent Complications. Every Druggist in U. S. Instructed to Refund Price While You Wait at Counter if You Don’t Feel Relief Coming in Two Minutes. Delightful Taste, Immediate Relief, Quick Warm-Up. The sensation of the drug trade is Aspironal, the two-minute cold and cough reliever, authoritatively guaranteed by the laboratories; tested, approved and most enthusiastically endorsed by the highest authorities, and proclaimed by the people as ten times as quick and effective as whiskey, rock and rye, or any other cold and cough remedy they have ever tried. All drug stores are supplied with the wonderful elixir, so all you have to do to get relief from that cold is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half a dollar for a bottle of Aspironal and tell Ijim to serve you two teaspoonfuls. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel the distressing symptoms of your cold fading away like a dream within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all druggists invite you and expect you to try it. Everybody’s doing it. When your cold or cough is relieved take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife and children, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for children as well as adults. Quickest relief for catarrhal croup and children’s choking pp at night.—AdvwrttMment-

ent social unrest. I agree that some of the sermon was positively insulting.” “Mr. Gilchrist is young,” the rector interposed. “Gilchrist is a nut,” Jerry snorted. “Os course, what John objected to was the reference to rents—to charging clerks and bookkeepers more than they could pay for ‘wretched little flats!’ John says he doesn’t come to be told how to run his business.” “Personally, I’m very fond of Mr. Gilchrist,” Mrs. Gilliam declared. “His father had stock in our stores. But I don’t think he’s a good influence. This used to be a really exclusive church. Now, whenever Mr. Gilchrist preaches, there's such a crush of undesirable people in the galleries you can hardly get to your pew. We don’t have that trouble with Dr. Wadham.” No one -noticed Clare Jewett, who had entered and stood in the black shadows that made the choirroom door part of the wall. "Mr. Gilchrist was such a promising young man,” sighed Mrs. Tice. "So rich and happy.” "And i(i love,” added Dllly. "He’s still rich and in love and, I think, happy,” Dr. Wadham affirmed. "I’ve told you, he’s a nut,” Jerry repeated emphatically. “I wonder —’’ Mrs. Gilliam contemplated. “He wasn’t like this before he went overseas. Maybe he was gassed—or something.” CHAPTER 111 Rhinelander 6942 Clare Jewett advanced, her arms Jaden with packages. "Oh, how do you do. Miss Jewett," Dr. Wadham greeted her uneasily. “I’m very well, thank you.” There was a certain defiance and a trifle uncertainty in her bearing which personified Clare Jewett. Until she was 20 she had been a creature of whim and emotion. Her father’s death at that time had not been wholly disaster. It had left her with problems to face. Meeting these, she had learned to think, to reflect and to consider.

At twenty-eight the metamorphosis was only half completed. Whim still struggled with purpose. She could not have explained why she had promised to marry Daniel Gilchrist. A psychologist would have said it was because one side of her nature told her he would be successful and the other side that he would be faithful, not only to her but to his ideals. Both sides liked him. That was enough. It was Jerry who brushed aside the iather uncomfortable situation. “Hello, Clare!" he said. "This is a—” Mrs. Gilliam caught the relief instantly. “Surprise! Ha!” she laughed. “And you’ve been waiting for her half an hour.” Mr. Wadham saw an opportunity, too. “Can I help with those packages?” he asked, stepping to her side. “Thank you, doctor,” she replied as he relieved her. “And Mr. Hinkle’s in there praying for someone to consult about the Christmas music.” "I told Mr. Hinkle the choir'd better begin by singing, ‘Peace, Perfect Peace, With the Loved Ones Far Away," the rector answered. The idea seemed to amuse Dllly. She began chanting Gone to the Country,” but heFprocessional lasted only until her mother could hush her. The doctor placed his packages with the others at'"the foot of the giant tree. Mrs. Tice halted him at the door of the choir room. "And doctor —about the parish bouse. Shall I tell my husband you’ll speak to Mr. Gilchrist?” "Yes,” he said. "I think you may even tell him that’s why we’re here today.” That done, and done ■well, Mrs. Tice turned to go. An offer to drive them horned took Mrs. Gilliam and Dilly with her. Mr. Barnaby still tinkered with the Star of Bethlehem. “I think the trouble’s outside.” he decided as though h 6 were to blame, and hurried along to help the three into Mrs. Tice's car. Clare looked as though she wished Jerry had gone, too. “It’s funny to find you in church,” she countered, trying to be at ease. "I want to talk to you,” he said seriously. “That’s just it, Jerry,” she objected. "You always want to talk to me, and always to say something I don’t want to hear." “Why not?” “I'm in love with someone else.” She said it simply, but not surely. He quickly sensed the tone. "You’re not going to marry Dan Gilchrist,’ 'he declared in his unpleasantly emphatic way. "What’s the use of bluffing. We’ve known each other since we were kids. You know I’m not going to give up anything I want because it belongs to somebody else. And I know you’re not going to give up what you want-comfort and luxury—for a crazy man who wears his collar hindslde before.” "Jerry!” "Now that’s admitted, let’s go on.” “Mr. Gilchrist Isn’t exactly povertystricken.” , "No, he got quite a lot of money from his father. You like him and when you said ‘yes’ you thought you were getting someone you liked, and all the rest of it, too. But something’s gone wrong Gilchrist, and you know it.” "Why do you say that?” she asked quizzically. “Because, If you didn’t before, you heard it this afternoon. I saw you standing In the door. And I’m going to tell you a few things more.” He was cold now and harsh. “I don’t want to listen,” she remonstra'ed, turning away. “Maybe—but you will! Do you know that your young trouble-hunter has given away nearly one-tenth of his capital in three months?" “No, and I don’t believe it!” “AJI right, ask my father. The old man has his money in trust. Gilchrist won't touch his income from Gilliam Groceries because he says they're profiteering, and he’s preaching such anarchy that both wardens are coming this afternoon to complain to Dr. Wadham. I don’t want you to throw yourself away on a raving bug.” “And your advice i*— ’’ "Mp-rryjm. I’m a Bice fellow, too you what you real-

ly care about. You’re over your ears in debt without any chance of paying up—or cutting down. And you’re—” He paused and surveyed her a moment—“shall we say, twenty-nine in October? I know what it cost you when your father died, and you had to come down a peg. You don’t want to keep on—coming down, do you?” This last deliberately and pointedly. "And so—you advise me to marry you?” "Yes." She looked at him squarely and significantly. "Knowing all I do about you?” "I don’t see how that concerns you,” he answered brazenly. "It proves you don’t love me,” she said. “I want you, and I’m offering marriage to you,” he pointed out. * “You haven’t said one word of love.” “I’ve said 'What’s the use bluffing.’ I’m no movie hero—and no crazy dreamer. I’m a little shopworn, perhaps—maybe a little soiled —but I’m sane and I’m solvent. You’re goodlooking and smart, and a lady. You’ll help my standing and I'll help your credit. For the rest —we nedn’t bother each other too much. What do you say?” She turned on him. "I think it’s —revoltingly sordid!” Jerry smiled his cold smile. “AH right,” he retorted. He looked at his watch, gathered up his cane and hat and moved toward the door. (Continued in Our Next Issue) Play copyrighted. 1923. in the United Btutea and Entrland.
