THIS HAS HAPPENED SIBIL THORNE, reckless and lovely, r? s “2** * en wretched days of married life. Swept off her feet by the passion* ate declarations of RICHARD EUSTIC, she married him after five davs’ acquaintance. They met on shipboard on :r e *° Cuba and were married by the ship s captain in Havana harbor. During the honeymoon Richard is alternately charming and repulsive. Sybil discovers that he is a confirmed drunkard and decides to leave him. She writes a note, telling him of her deJ' 9 . 1 *"- J£2 ve ® thelr hotel t tell MABEL BLAKE what she has done. Mabel Blake, a Boston social worker. Sybil s companion on the voyage. t h ; r * reat amazement she learns that Ji&abel has become engaged to an American whom she met in Havana. His H JACK MOORE. When Sybil ‘hem of her determination to leave Richard. Moore and Mabel persuade her to give him another chance, and go with her back to the hotel. The girls wait in the lobby while Moore goes up to h w i*h Richard, who is recovering at the time from the terrific intoxication of U't night before. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORT CHAPTER XXI JACK MOORE smiled benevolently. well pleased with his efforts. “Well, well,” he began, and rubbed bis hands together with vast satisfaction, ‘‘our young friends is thoroughly ashamed of himself. I don’t believe you'll have any more trouble with him, Sybil. The realization 'that you might leave him straightened him right out.” Sybil smiled—a strained, polite little smile. “You’ve been awfully good, Jack.” “Will you go up now, dear?” prompted Mabel. "Oh, I suppose so.” “And we’ll see you in the morning.” U tt tt RICH was pacing restlessly. Up and down the big room. Smoking nervously in habitual fashion. His face flushed and his hair tossed. Sybil thought his eyes were the brightest things she had ever seen She stood silently in the doorway, penitent than an outraged wife. He stopped his striding, and turned to face her. “Well,” she said, “here I am.” Exactly like that, and raged within for sounding so humble. “You’re a nice girl—you are!” Then she saw that he was angry. “Running to Map and Moore with stories about your husband! Making a fool of me. Anybody’d think I’d been beating you. Sniveling and crying I suppose. “Good Lord, who do you thing you are? You’re no little innocent, my lady. Not by a long shot. A woman of the world, if I ever knew one.. Pulling a line, like a 16-year-old. Kicking up a rumpus because I’ve been drinking a little. How long, may I ask, has that been a sin in your calendar, Miss Virtue?” Quietly she heard him out. *T came back. Rich, because I thought you needed me. I thought you would be sorry, and that we would start all over again.” "Sorry!” he sneered. "Yes, sorry,” she went on even\v. ‘But I see now that I was mistak t;\i. Perhaps it is because you are s jii intoxicated that you are talking ( this way. Perhaps you WILL be ‘sorry in the morning. “I’m going to be fair wi you. •Rich. Tomorrow will be another day. You're not in any to talk tonight. “I won’t stay with you. probably you don’t want me t\j. j guess you hate me now.

And then—you know yourself how it is, dear No one ever means to take too much. I swear I’d rather cut off my acted. I couldn’t help it, Sib. I simply couldn’t help it.” He sank into a chair, and groaned aloud. "There Isn’t a more miserable man in the world. Don’t hate me. dear. You’re all I have. I need you so.” He was pitiful. Like a little boy, ■worn out with temper, sobbing his remorse. Tad wa*s like that when he was small. She remembered his ungovernable rages, and the vay he cried afterward, and promised to be good And the sweet, pathetic little things he did to make amends. He was such a naughty boy—and so endearing. Their mother had been instantly forgiving. But she remembered how stern their father was. ‘‘You’ll never cure him that way.” he had remonstrated. “A spanking would do him more good than kisses. It’s wrong to coddle t *mper. Be firm ■with him, Mother. It’s for his own good,” a a a IT was hard to be firm with Rich —as hard as it had been for her mother to be firm with Tad. There was something very pathetic about -fxchard, promising to be good. Telling her he needed her. She felt like a wicked matron in an orphan asylum. But her decision this time was final. “It’s for his own good,” she reflected. "He’s got to stand on his own feet.” And stealing her heart to the hurt in his eyes, siie spoke resolutely. “I’m sorry, Rich. You can come over in the morning.” “Don’t leave me, Sib.” He took a bottle from the window sill—behind the curtaiNs, where r\ie had not seen it—and poured himself a generous drink. ‘‘l need it,” he apologized. “I’ll better for it.” & She shuddered. - . “That settles it. Rich. I'm going now’.” “But yon don’t understand, dear. A little drink sets a fellow up, after he’s had too much. The system r aves it. It*’s only a stimulant, Sib -like medicine.” , "Have it your own way,” she cori-

ceded wearily. “Goodnight, Rich. Do you want to kiss me?” “Kiss you?” he cried. “Os course I want to kiss you. I never want to do anything else! Ah, Sybil dear, I’m crazy about you. You drive me insane, sweetheart.” His hungry lips devoured hers, and, his arms held her close. “You’ll stay here with me, darling?” “No, Rich.” “But, sweetheart ...” “Oh, Rich, let me go. This isn’t fair, dear.” “ ‘Fair!’ It’s wonderful!” “Please, Rich!” “Oh. all right. Anything you say. You’re tired of me, Sybil. That’s what’s the matter. You want to be rid of me.” “You know that isn’t true.” “Then why won’t you stay here?” "But, Rich, I’ve told you a hundred times.” “If you loved me, you’d stay.” “Oh, please don’t argue.” “Well, I’ll go, then. If you can’t bear the sight of me, I’ll go. You stay here.” “Oh, Rich, dear, be reasonable, I’m all ready to go. Your things are

"I just can’t face FAC/ther, Pat.” Tony told her father ’4>ien ready to go downstairs at las/,.. ‘Can’t you get her into the t/ack garden or something? I want, ■'co talk to Dick alone.” She didn’t put into words what she felt—that o’a a night like this with a lush j/qliow moon riding like a rain-wet marigold in the sky, with the air sweet with summer blossoms, she dared not go riding with Dick for. -fear that the old spell would be up au h :. Even uru*erstanding Pat didn’t quite see, either, knowing that it was a r'Ai.-e evening indeed which Tony sp *’nt a t home. “You ’know how Peg sticks to the crowd -and any stranger who’ll listen,” he said. “Guess you’d better cL\ the premises, Tony.” T rffiy sheathed herself in ice and liota so tall, so unyielding, so alold as she stepped onto the P OL'ch that Dick rising looked at \V3r in awe as if here was a girl he did not know. Tony utterly ignored her mother: “Ready and rarin’ to go, Dick? It’s so hot. Let’s get a breeze,” and Tony was running to the roadster and was at the wheel. “I’m driving, Mr. Man,” she declared as Dick reached the car. “No, I’m driving, Tony. I don’t like to be driven—by a woman. It looks better this way,” and before Tony knew it she was in her usual place and the little cream roadster was out of the drive and whizzing down the street. Dick turned a reflective eye on Tony as Stantoon was left behind and they were rushing along a country road.

Sunday School Lesson

Tbe International Uniform Sunday School Lesson lor Sept. :!3. Paul Pleads for Christian Unity. I Corinthians 1:10-13i 3:6-11; 21-23. BY \VM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Conereyattonalist HOW easily divisions arise among men. even in the finest and holiest associations where one would think that, if anywhere, the spirit of unity and harmony and good will would prevail? The extent to which churches hav been notorious for their conflicts and divisions in appalling. It may perhaps be somewhat comforting to churchmen, though it is not satisfying to one's hope for human progress, to discover that in other associations of men, even where the associations ought to be on a plane of high-mindedness, similar conflicts and divisions easily brak out. Many a college and university has been a hot’"'' 1 of sectional rivalry and jealousy. Intellectual and cultural attainments ought to promote magnanimity . and harmony, but unfortunately too often they fail to do so. Even organizations where members undertake obligations of the utmost of brotherly regard and devotion to the whole fraternity, not infrequently are mared by anything but a brotherly spirit. Christians today are wont to look back upon the early church as pure, and wholly free from- the faults of modern churches. Those who have that idea might well give heed to this lesson. Here where Paul had done such remarkable work, and where he spent such a long period confirming the disciples in the faith, divisions quickly broke out which were on occasion of sore grief to Paul. In our lesson he refers to these divisions and makes a strong appeal to the Corinthians in the name, and in the spirit, of Christ to rise above their divisions and discover the unity of a common life and faith in their Master. These divisions had become established around certain leaders or preachers, each group preferring one to the others. Some were saying, I am of Paul; others, I of Apollos; and still others, I of Cephas. Even Christ had become among these Corinthians the head of a part rather than the common Lord of all, and there were some who were saying, I am of Christ. How does Paul meet this situation? He meets it by reminding them of the supreme truth that through God’s grace in Christ Jesus all things belong to the Christian Paul, Apollos, Cephas, are only ministers of Christ. If each has anything that is good and true let the disciples take it, thanking God, but let them not exalt any individual to a place where the free and full working of God’s spirit is limited. Paul’s words in this connection did him great credit. He says that the one foundation is Jesus Christ and that men are simply builders upon that foundation, the work of

here. You can’t go very well. And I’ll see you in the morning.” “You want to get rid of me—that’s what you want. You don’t ever intend to come back.” “I promise, Rich.” “Promise! What do your promises amount to? You promised Moore you’d come back to me. He said you did. You’re not keeping that promise, are you?” “From the beginning, Rich,” she told him patiently, “I’ve given in to you. Everything’s been your way. And what good did it do? You’d promise and promise—and you never kept a promise. Now I’m going to have my way—and we’ll see how it works. I’m going to the Ingla Terra, and I’ll come back in the morning. Then . . “For God’s sake, stop barking,” he interrupted fiercely. “I’m so sick I’d like to be dead, and you come and drive me crazy!” He dragged his coat from the Chair, struggled into the sleeves, and flung from the room, hatless. (To Be Continued) Sybil goes to the Ingla Terra—but returns to Richard, who lias sinned the Unpardonable Sin.

“Why the simple innocence garb?” he asked. “Thought you were going to dance at The Groves tonight,” and the coolness of his voice told Tony the thing she had always known—that most of his love for her was pride in her beauty and elegance—pride in being seen with a girl other men coveted. “No, we’re not dancing tonight, Dick. We’re talking.” Tony said “Please park the car when you can so that we can really talk.” “That place’s right here,” said Dick, turning from the main highway to a little dirt road. He followed it for a mile or so when It ended in a woods. “Special paradise for spooners, only they don’t know the road.” Dick shut off the engine and turned to take Tony in his arms. “No!” said Tony, holding herself rigid and pushing him away. “Dick, that’s what I want to talk about. Have we ever done anything together but pet? Have we ever talked for ten minutes at a time? Let’s try it now.” “Your idea of a hot evening?” Dick sneered. “Well, it’s not mine. I want some of the well-known brand of Tony Tarver affection.” "You’ve done what I wanted done without talking, Dick,” said Tony quietly. “You’ve freed me. I’m not afraid of myself any longer and I wouldn’t marry you if you were the last man in the world. “Now. drive me home.” “Oh, just like that? ‘Now drive me home!’” Dick mimicked. “I’ll drive you home when I’m good and ready!” And again his arms were iron about her. (To Be Continued)

each standing or falling according as it stands the test of the fire of God’s love. Let no man, Paul says, glory in men, for the whole universe of truth is theirs. If Paul has truth, take it; if Apollos, take it; if Cephas, take it. The Christian is the possessor of all things. It is a profound and splendid doctrine of ownership which will stand careful thought both as a philosophy of life and in its practical bearings. There is no portion of the New Testament that modern churchmen might more profitably read for their guidance in church affairs and relationships than the chapters of I and H Corinthians in which Paul deals with the divisions and the discord there. And they may read these portons in the light of other parts, such as I Corinthians 13, which expound the highest facts and principles of Christian living.
