'* I HE BV CHAINING (foLLOCK lU.OVMATtO fc.W SAVCtWMJJD
BEGIN HERE TODAY Dilly Gilliam, her mother. Mrs. Gilliam, with Leila Thornbury. a divorcee, are trimming: a Christmas tree in the Church of the Nativity, a fashionable church of New York. Mrs, J. Orson Tice, society leader, comes in with Jerry Goodkind. a man-about-town, who is interested in Clare Jewett, engaged to the Reverend Gilchrist. 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. Jerry proposes marriage to Clare. Daniel hears Charles Benfleld demand his dismissal from the church of the Na- / tivity. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H. yes,” returned Goodkind fj slyly. “There’s a man out there, too, who says he won’t go away until he sees you.” He reached over and put a hand on Gilchrist’s shoulder. "Dan, you’re an awfully decent fellow, but I still think you made a mistake going into the church. If you ever want to talk it over with me, I’d be glad to help you—any time. You know that. Good-by, Doctor. Good-by, Dan, and a merry Christmas.” And he was gone. Dr. Wadham paced the floor in silence for a few moments. "Daniel, you’re in trouble,” he announced. "Doctor, I’m used to it,” Gilchrist answered, smiling. "Then you don’t care for your josition in this church?" “There’s only one thing I care for fiore.” "And that is?" “To be worthy of it." "When you’re as old as I am, he sighed resignedly, “you'll Understand that being honest doesn’t necessarily mean being disagreeable.” "Doesn’t It mean—telling the truth?” “So you know the truth, Daniel?” “Yes, don’t you? Doesn’t every I fan —in his heart? And if we want to keep it in our hearts and never think about it or look it In the face, i houldn’t someone open the door and cry,'“Behold’? I didn’t tell them anything they didn’t know, Doctor. I don’t know anything they don’t know. I just reminded them —” “That isn’t fair. These good people have given—” "Given—what cost them nothing. Frumpery and trumpery and diamond stars.” He waved a band toward the bedecked tree. “That’s how all of us give—what we don't need, what

I—” “You’d say she was crazy.” “But there’s no necessity—” “Oh, yes, there is. There'll be people lying in the parks tonight. What would Mrs. Tice say if I invited them to sleep in her pew?” “That there’s no reason why she should share dirt and disease.”' “Exactly! We may believe in the brotherhood of man, but we know about germs. We’re not sure what is truth, but there’s one think we are sure of and mean to be sure of, and that's our own comfort. You know that and I know- It and they know It—but we mustn’t say It. All right. In God’s name what are we to say?” Dr. Wadham had been awaiting an opening. He saw it now. "Precisely,” he interposed. “That
BEWARE THE * COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to ’ake. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in ad dltion to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach i3 absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to serious complications. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to dlrecsj*ns. Ask your druggist. Creomulaiosi Cos., Atlanta, Ga.—Advertise- —
brings us to tomorrow’s sermon. I understand you intend to talk about the strike.” Daniel nodded. "Now that’s not a very pleasant subject for Christmas. Wouldn't it be more fitting to preach from the text, ‘Glory to God, in the Highest!’ ” “And on earth, peace, good will toward men,*” Daniel -vndded. “Yes,” agreed Dr. Wadham, delighted at what he interpreted as an acceptance of the suggestion. “You might say, ‘There are many kinds of peace ' ” “But there aren’t,” interupted Daniel. “There is physical peace,” went on the rector, “peace that came with the end of this cruel war.” “There is no peace,” said Daniel abruptly, “TJiere is only fear—and hate—and vanity—and lust, and envy, and greed—of men and nations. There are only people preying on one another, and a hungry horse at the very doors of your church. No, doctor, my text will be ‘And Peter followed afar off.’ ” Daniel looked through the soft shadows into the distance. "I don't understand,” Dr. Wadham stammered. “We all follow—afar off ” Daniel’s answer was as abstract as though Dr. Wadham were not there. Something strange, something glorious, shone in his eyes. # “Follow whom?” “Christ!” Daniel replied—as though far away through the shadows he saw Him. "Daniel—my dear fellow!" he rector exclaimed. Daniel listened as one detached. He turned to the little white-collared man curiously. Don t worry,” he smiled, reading the rector’s anxiety. "I’m quite sane. ° nl >* —I’ve been wondering about that ! for a long time.” “Wondering,” suggested Dr. Wadham. unable to comprehend. “What would happen if anybody really tried to live like Christ.” Gilchrist spoke fervently. “It won’t work, Daniel." Dr. Wadham spoke feelingly with a trace of desolation in his voice. "It’s a beautiful ideal, but it won’t work. Times have changed, and things are differ- i ent. I, fe isn’t as simple as it was 2,000 years ago. The trouble with ■ you. Daniel, is that you're not prac- ! ticaL” I wonder," Gilchrist remarked I thoughtfully. At least you must promise not to discuss the strike.” “I can't do that, doctor.” “Or else let me>fake the pulpit.” I won t do that.” His emphatic tone brought Dr. Wadham's shoulders back squarely. “Very well,” he said sharply. “Preach your Christmhs sermon, and afterward—” "Yes?” I think you may find a greater field of usefulness elsewhere." The men stood face to face for a moment, both tense. It was Daniel who turned and lifted his hand to his face. “I’m sorry, Daniel,” said Dr. Wad ham, his tone softening, ”1 know you’ve been happy in your work here. I know how failure hurts. But you saw it coming, and you wouldn't turn aside.” He looked up, his eyes flashing. “The man who turns away from his vision—lies!” he cried. His voice calmed. "It’s all right, doctor,” he said. He reached for Dr. Wadham’s hand and shook it. He was smiling—smiling sadly.
CHAPTER VI Rejected t Dr. Wadham welcomed the entrance of Clare Jewett. He was not alone in that. It was relief for one, solace for the other. “Well, Miss Jewett,” the rector beamed, “I thought you'd gone long ago.” “No,” Clare answered with an air of fatigue. "I’m on my way now. Mr. Hinkle cut his finger. I’ve been applying first aid.” “Woman’s traditional mission—to bind our wounds.” Dr. Wadham wagged a finger at her. *He had crossed to the door. Turning, his eyes met Daniel. It come to him that his remark had another significance. "To bind our— Well, I must be going. Step into my study in the morning, Daniel, and we’ll have a look at your sermon.” Clare watched him out. She was irritated. “I hope I never see another doll!” she said petulantly. Then she noticed that Gilchrist had not spoken. “Anything on your mind, Dan?" she asked. “What do you—” he started, looking up quickly. “I mean anything special to do?” "Oh—no,” he responded, relieved. “Take me home,” she commanded gently. The quiet smile came back. “I’m getting my Christmas present early,” he said, reaching for his hat. “Where’s your coat?” she asked absently. "Outside— That is, I lent it to a friend. Oh, I’ve got where.” “But you can’t go out without a coat. It’s cold.” She glanced at her wrist watch. "Anyway, I told a taxi man to come at half-past 4. That’s the worst of not having a car. Well, we may as well sit down." She was watching him closely. "What’s the matter with you, Dan?” she said at length. “Nothing important,” he said, dodging her eyes. “There will be if you insist ftn going around without an overcoat.” She looked at him narrowly. "You’re too generous.” His eyes were far away. “I say," she repeated, / "you’re too generous. How are we going to be married if you go on giving things away?” “Is generosity p. fault in a husband?” he laughed. “That depends,” she returned, seriously. "Is it true you’ve been giving away—well—large sums of money?" “Who told you that?” “A little bird. And that you’ve refuse 1 to take paart of your income?” “Little bird tell you that?” “Yes.” ( “Birds talk too mutgi.” “Is it true?” i Yes.”
