Sonia hears that SIDNEY MAINE of • her homo town is enraged to TOM UNDERWOOD who had once proposed to Sonia quaffs with BERT DONOHUE because of her infatuation for FRANKLIN CRANE, whom he says is a periodic drinker, and retains his Position in their office because his wealthy lather was a friend of Jed Thomas, but Crane explains that Tie is absent to take his invalid mother on long anto trips. A throat from Bertie worries Sonia Crane admits he loves Sonia, but sa.vs lie is afraid their happiness cannot last. Maxine, once loved Jteudereon, and •hides Sonia for offending him. alluding that she is wasting her time with Crane iiccause his mother dispenses her money cautiously. . , _ , , . Maxine notices Jed Thomas unusual interest in Sonia. „ _ , . Crane promises to call on Sonia bofonsTher Christmas visit with her parents. In the meantime Henderson phones that ho will see her for a lew moments. CHAPTER XX Henderson arrived on the heels of his telephone call. Sonia opened Undoor to him. gaily. \ “Merry Christmas!" “The same to you, Sonia. 1 couldn’t bear for you to go home angry with me. Let’s kiss and make up." “I’m not angry.” *sljg countered. “You said some very unkind things to me which I failed to understand, but I have not been angry about it.” “Will you forgive me, then?" His ovoice was very humble. It was thrilling to hear a man so distinctly of the world, asking her pardon like a schoolboy. She stretched out her hand. "Indeed, I will. I should like very much to be friends with you. Very gently, he lifted her hand and kissed It. “Sonia, I have brought you a little Christmas gift. If you mean that, you will accept it.’ '' She answered,. nervously, "But I must see it first.” "Close your eyes." Like a child she obeyed. She felt him slip something on her little finger. Looking down she saw an exquisite emerald, flashing from platinum. “Emeralds on your white hands, Sonia. Your dream has come true.” Dazzled with joy in the sparkling color, she lifted her hand. "It's beautiful. Oh, I'.love it," -he breathed, sighing, instantly, “but, of course, I can’t keep it.” "Why not? There are no strings ttached to it, Sonia.” “I’m sure of that. I don’t doubt the spirit with which you have offered It but I can't take it, really.” She eyed it, enviously. It was tVie most perfect jewel she had ever seen. "It looks aa If It had been made for me." "It has been, dear. Please take it. If you don’t I’ll think you are still holding the other night against me.” s' j “It isn’t that." , ‘What is it, then?" Tears of longing were In her eyes. “I just can’t, that’s all. It’s too expensive.'' _• * • At\hat moment the doorbell rang. Sonia snatched the ring from her Unger and admitted Franklin Crane. His blue eyes darkened at sight of the other man. >”Good evening, Franklin. I just uopped In to say ‘Merry Christmas' in Miss Marsh 'before she goes home.” “I see." Franklin said, dryly. His 'anee went to the open velvet box. “Saying It with jewelry, I take :t.” The older flushed, while Sonia interrupted, “but I am not ■ccepting it, Franklin, much as I’d love to.*’ • "Don’t let me stop you. I’ll go,” She ran to him. holding him with strong young arms. "No, you shall not. I won’t have things spoiled like this. Mr. HenHerson, won’t you tell him that I had already refused your gift? Please!" • Walter Henderson replaced the ing In the little box. “It Is quite true, Franklin. Miss not done me th(| honor of accepting the little gift T had prepared for her. Merry Christmas to both. Good night!”

When he had gone Sonia stood against the door. “I think you are terribly!” she accused, but she was trembling. “How could you talk like that to a man like Walter Henderson?” “He’s no different from any other man.” “Well, he Is.” she defended, hotly. “He Is a gentleman and you've Insulted him. I'm surprised at you, Franklin. It isn’t fair.” His charming face was as black as a thunderstorm. "Let him keep away fSom you, then. If he's such a gentleman what does he mean hanging around offering you n platinum ring?” “He didn't mean anything.” “T suppose not! No douht he gave one to every bookkeeper in the office!” \ “You’re ridiculous,” she said, coldly. “F-Je gave it to me because I said T loved emeralds.” “Why didn’t you take it then?” “You ought to why.” Tears sparkled in her green eyes. “Here we are quarreling on my last evening. I can't understand you, Franklin. TJe was glowering at her like a wrathful gorjr “How do you feel tearing myself away" from an important meeting to And another man that had gotten here first?" “Don't you talk like that to me!” flashed Sonia. “Who do you think you are, anyway? I’ve told you the truth about the whole affair. And you are behaving like a silly schoolboy. Now you can believe me or not, just as yßu please.” \ He seized his hat. “All right! I’ll go!” Sick at heart, she watched him go out the door. Was her high romance to crash thus about her? In vulgar squabbling and cheap insinuations? But she would never call him back. Pride had risen, white hot,.at his insultipg tone. A death blow, thought Sonia, to love. An hour later she was sitting exactly as he had loft her. staring into an empty fireplace, shivering with cold. The telephone rang but she did J not answer, it. -—” —. What would Christmas mean to j her now? How could she endure go- j lng baes to Stockton with this quar ret between them? How could she 1 smile over the ruins of her first i romance? The memory of his face. ] distorted with suspicion, hurt her' far more than his words. • * The door bell rang. She sat stonily, hoping if it were Franklin he would go away. Nothing could ever be the same again. But it "Wealed again and again uptil she was forced to answer It. He faced her, staring at her white face. - “I’m sorry, Sonia." “Tt doesn’tHpatter.” “But. darling, I know It does." He came In3, closing the door behind him. He picked her up as if she were a child and sank down on the davenport. “Kiss me, Sonia.” “No!” * ' I "That's right. Kiss me again.” “But if you loved me,” she protested. weakening, “how could you have doubted me?” “Dearest unreasonable little sweet heart, if I didn’t love'yob why should I care at all? questions are unanswerable. But I’m sorry and because I am) I’ve come back.” She lay in his arms wondering if any magic could bring that first glamour again. “Sonia, I suppose after turning down an emerald, you’re not even Interested In my poor little Christmas gift?” She was all attention. “What is it? Tell me. please.” "You promise to accept it even if It isn't platinum?” “Silly,” she scoffed. "I'd accept it even if "it were.” He drew from his pocket another velvet box, larger fchan Walter’s. Almost apologetically, he placed it in her hands. / / “Can’t you see why I hate him. Sonia? Offering you a gift like that when T’ve worked like tho devil to even buy you this?” She tore it open, revealing a small wrist watch, in a white gold case. Her arms were about him, her eyes beaming with^miles. “But I’d rather have this than all the emeralds in the world!” "Nonsense. A dozen of them

Israel’s New Leader Is Discussed in This Study

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 24: Joshua. Isreal’s New Leader.—Joshua 1:1-9. By Wni. E. Gilroy, D. I). Editor of The Congregationalist “God buries his'worknian but the work goes on” is a great saying that applies to all the progress of life. Perhaps it Is well that old leaders nish their tasks the new leaders arise, for the old leader, great and triumphant as has been his service, often develops in the performance of his ddty the very shortcomings and ..defects that make it impossible for him to lead beyond a certain jrtiint. Not long since we were reading the story of one of the ablest preachers and lmstors that America has produced. He was a man of great abilities and of profound force and influence, a power in the community and throughout the nation, who has left in ills passing a goodly heritage. Yet *tb4s man's greatness constituted almost a stumbling block to his successors in the yea>s after his retirement and bbfore he died. \ It was not that he had lacked in great leadership. He hpd been preeminent in bis day, but he dim not quite sense the needs of later times, nor dtd he appreciate adequately the freedom and initiative that men who were to follow must have, if they likewise wer6 to give great leadership. Moses* Mission We do not know just what the fact may have been concerning Moses. He had beert >re-eininertt; no man in Israel compared with him. He had been humble an<l teachable, and at the same time resourceful and courageous. But it is quite possible thai Moses had fulfilled his mission, that he had taken the people as far as ha, was capable of leading them, and that the man wlyj. was best fitted to lead the pottle out fnom bondage, and to maintain the integrity and discipline during the trying conditions of wilderness life, was not necessarily the type pf most needed to be the military commander and the captain of the people in their conquest of a hostile land. ' * The pioneer who blazes the Way Is not Silvvays the greatest genius In constructing and organizing the new civilization. To'lake the leadership oC Israel at a point where Moses left off was no small task. It required a man of giant faith and courage, a man of action and enei*Bry. And the greatest

Compliment that can be paid to Joshua, the surest -evidence of his real greatness. Is found in the fact that he was deemed worthy to succeed Moses, and that he actually did prove himself the leader that people needed. Joshua’s Position ■ The conditions and qualifications for leadership 1 are essentially the same no matter how much the immediate tasks anil situations may differ. To Joshua there came first of all the sense of holiness that pertained to the very ground which Moses trod and that affected every outlook upon life. / s To hJm there came the Clear assurance of the presence of God and the Inspiration of a great voice saying. “I will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Re strong and of a good courage.” It is notable that these last words are repeatedly emphasized in our lesson, almost to the point of redundancy. There can be no great leadership without strength and courage as it is the foe of faith and hope. . The things that made Moses and Joshua leaders may make anV man a leader today, not that any man should covet leadership for its own sake. The man who is best fitted to give spiritual leadership is the man who most feels his weakness and his need of divine strength To be a leader is simply to go where one ought to) go in the hope that someone else will follow. That is the very best sort of leadership that men can give. Carlyle, in his famous lectures on “Heroes and Hero-Worship.” asked, ‘‘Why may not evervone of us be a hero?” The hero In his thought was not necessarily a man of fame- and greatness hut he was primarily the man of sincerity, the man whose.life was original in the senses of being absolutely honest and turf- In the same sense may not one ask. “Why may not everyone of us be a leader?" Here Is the divine formula for leadership: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good cour-
