As a connoisseur of women he admired her charm, out she was - worth more io him In the office than out of it. Radway was a voluptuary of. sixty *ho was finding out that he lived now in a solverer ace and could not aidant himself to It. GtblHins’ victory pointed the moral Ik did not greatly-f«'ar Gibbons. He comforted himself that after n few weeks on the sea he would come back refreshed for ’he big game. He was thinking of Gibbons* tri umph over the Memphis and Toledo read, only made possible by the trench ery of a trusted manager, when Mary Unwin entered the office of her ta-the-’s one-time friend. Gibbons was often :• matter of speculation among the Radway staff. It was known that he had once been Radway’s clerk and had left suddenly, breat’hing ‘hrents against his em. ployer. And It seemed he had devoted his life to getting even for some grievance of whose origin none In his office had any definite idea. Mary looked at him with a curiosity .that had nothing to dr- with his financial position. She looked at him as one who had In the other years been a close friend of her poor, blundering, clever. bu» unstable father, whom she loved the more because she saw his need Gibbomi was not prepared for a beauty. It was true. Unwin bad fine features and brilliant eyes, but one ■ ■•

M try was slim and held herself »« though no failure or self-depreciation had ever come near her. There' was something tine about her.

She felt phys Ically weakened. After all it was to tie a life of office drudgery. Gibbons did not understand this sudden alter alien. ’ “What’s the matter?" he said irritably. "Oh, not very much.” she ssiid. “1 was only wondering how my father could ever have caJled you his friend." "What?" he exelaimevl. "You are going to throw away a chance like that?” She made a little gesture of despair. “I am going to throw It away." He was now thoroughly angry. He had not been so upset for months. “You deserve to starve," he snapped, “with that d—d fool of a father of yours; and will will, too.” She shook her head. “I shan't starve, but I think l’d rather starve than do that.” • • • • • • Gibbons had been wrong in declaring that the Memphis .and Toledo road had been taken from Radway because he was dnfnk. Gibbons had bld so high, that/one on whom RaJway relied wholly sold him. Well, that would not happen again. For the moment there was a lull in the warfare.

It was not until some allies of Gibbons returned from Zurope that the struggle would begin again. And before that happened there would be one month on shipboard, a here he could fill himself with alcohol arid feel he was not ruining his prOspegts.- It was the debauch of an a'coholic long denied tils pleasure. Elgar Radway always deceived himself and others about this annual voyage. But he never deceived his xvif*. There had beeh a day. ten years earlier, when he Was a national figure in politics The death of a governor had made hifn. a liltle-heard-of lieir tenant governor, the head of a great state.

He had gone back 6 tits financing in New York. Evelyn Radway was a splendid hostess. She was m-autiful and . she was clever. The Radway dinner par ties were internationaiiy famous. He was bound to admit that she bad been a great asset to him. It was nt a dinner party that he an notim ed bis intention of taking a month's vacation. . There were as guests some foreign financiers.. He knew that bis w:ife realized why he was going. He had never been able, w holly, to met.the glance of those almond-shaped violet eyes with the calmness he wished? In ten years she had learned most of his secrets. “One hears." said the president of a Paris banking house, “that you work even When making holiday, but I nevet* believe that. No. no. It’s , what you call the bluff.’’ “I’m taking a secretary and'a wireless operator," Rtidway retorted, “and they're there for business. And my wife will probably come, too—that is, if she cares to.” "Thank you, Elgar,’' she answered to his extreme surprise, “the change will do me good." He smiled as though, the prospect entranced him. He now saw’ himself committed to at least two extra guests. What on earth bad ne wanted to talk, about taking a secretary for? He was even more astonished to find that his wife consented to come. She did not care for the ocean as a rule. He rather suspected, that his physician had been warning her that this trip might be dangerous i' he reverted to his olu habits. She was coining to see that he kept within bounds. "1 am giud you are coming. Evelyn, he said when his guests had gone. "It will do you good.". “You are really taking a Secretary?" she demanded. ' "Certainly;"-he said, a trifle Impatiently. "This is a business trip, us I told Monsieur Detamps." •‘There's ac'cothr.iodation for my maid?' she said. ."Ample.” he answered. _ “What st.sretary will yop take?’’ He thought a m >ment. The two men in his office wli,i might answer were well erroUgh in their way, but the enforced intimacy of shipboard would probably discover unsuspected shortcomings. ‘Would you be annoyed if 1 a pretty girl?" "Do you mean that slight (lark girl [ have seen? Oh. Elgar, I wish you would. It would .be such company for me.” “If you can arrange it. I’ll take her. Probably her people wouldn’t let her come if I suggested it. I'll phone-you her address from the office tomorrow and yot go and see her mother, if she has( obe. Tell her she will get twenty-file dollars a week. She ought to jump nt it." '.’■_■.' it was with the hope the girl would go that Mrs. Radway callefl next morn ing at .he Unwins' tome. Mr. Unwin recognized her Instantly At her marriage* Sargent's portrait had helped to make her famous; since that time the society columns and Lavery's painting of her had kept her .in the public eye. J . . The Unwins were delighted at the idea of Mary gettijig r vyhole month »»n shipboard. And the additional saying meant something' to them. It was Mary herself who seemed dubious. She confide-) in her brother "I have a feeling.' she said, "that I ought not to go. It’s a. kind of presentment,; I wish you could cothe." “1 wish they would find a Job for me in the engine room.” he exclaimed. His eyes brightened at the prospect of such nearness to machinery at work. “Gee! wouldn’t that be luck. Sis, do you think It could be managed? Do you think there's something I could do?" “If there isn’t.” she decided, “I won t go.” Radway was astounded at her demand. “What dp 1 want with an engineadoring boy aboard?” he snapped. “Perhaps your father would like to go also?” She colored a little. He decided that when she flushed she was prettier than any girl in the Winter Follies. “I’m rather relieved,” she said quietly. “I didn’t want to go and now J certainly shall not.” “1 suppose I shall have to find a place for him.” Radway grumbled. He took up some plans and glanced at them. "There are four boats carried.

Tell him to report to Captain Hallett, of the Albatross, at the New York Yacht club float, at the foot of East Twenty-third street She leaves Bar Harbor tomorrow night and will be here by Sunday." When she was gone, Radway sank down into his padded chair and told himself he was getting old. There were physical troubles multiplying with a frightening rapidity. After all, he might not be able to turn this trip into one of the old-time carouses. Presently he rang a buzzer and Mary came in. "Take this telegram." he said: “ W. Clement. S. S. Albatross, Bar Harbor, Aiaine. Ship competent doctor aboard for trip. Health not too good.—Radway.’ *’ As she was leaving the , room he called out more cheerfully. “You can insert ‘young and handsome,’ if you like. You’ll have some one to play with then,” • CHAPTER 111 The Kidnaping of Howard Bettington Bettington. as he made his way northward from. Gloucester, felt a sense of happiness in that he had engaged himself to lift the Unwin family from its monetary troubles. The sketches he made—which would afterward be transferred to his big canvases—were the best ne had ever-done. He was pleased, who was ordinarily a fiard critic. “This." he crjed. as he looked at a study or surf and rock, "will pay Mary's tuition and board for a year.” ’ • He was perched upon a little island of rock, some three tniles from Black-, port His enthusiast)? led him to overlook the signs of a coming storm, the worst storm which late August ever brought to the .Maine coast. With the first puff o» that fearful storm a great wave, .like a tidal bore, rolled in and overwnelriled the rock. Only owing to his great strength an 1 ability as a swimmer was Bettington able to reach shore. . W ith the storm came an awful darkness which presently merged into night and left Bettington bruised and weary, trying to make bis ways to the village. It was midnight when a dim light showed him lie was near a small house. Fishing nets and lobster pots were evidence of the calling of the owner. Bettington had come to the shack of one Jonathan Gibbs, a surly man, who liad no traffic with his neighbors. He supported himself indifferently with his fishing and chickens. He was known for a bad-tempered man. who preferred his own company to any other. There was no answer to his knock upon the door, so Bettinsrton, now chilled to the bone, opened It. He found the shack had hut two rooms. A living room with a bed in a corner of it, and a kitchen A soapstone stove gave what heat the larger room required. Driftwood furnished the visitor with his fuel and he was soon thawing before the fire. Bettington knew the fisherfolk; they were hospitable men wherever ore met them. He had no fear he would get a reception that was not cordial. r • But he did not know Jonathan Gibbs. The process of getting warm was so comforting that Bettirigton did nor hear footsteps outside. Gibbs had been out to drag his boats from their customary moprings' at the dock to the shelter of the shore. The first premonition that a stranger had in- . vaded his home was the pungent smoke which beat down on him as he came toward the front door. He stopped suddenly. fils spare form tautened. Weariness had given place to sudden, bewildering fear. He retreated stealthily, noiselesly. At the side of a rowboat, tie paused. His blanched face took on something of its normal color. The insttoct to ffee was conquered. There came yet more strongly to him the desire to Know by what tie whs menaced. But his progression to a woodshed showed no abatement of his caution. From the top of a closet he took down a shotgun, into whose twin barrels he put No, 4 cartridges. He opened the door of his living room so softly that Bettington did not hear him. It was the cold gust that made the painter look round. He saw a rail, keen-faced man at whose shoulder was the butt of i twelve-bort*. “Don't move," said the fisherman. Gibbs advanced slowly Into the room. He bad never, t< his knowledge, set eyes on this stranger. But he looked so searchingly and with such obvious menace that Bettington broke the silence. “1 ought to apologize for this, 1 suppose." he said, "but surely, on a night like this a man may seek shelter with out being threatened with a scattergun." "Who were tne two men you were with in the post office yesterday?” Gibbs demanded. "I was not In any post office yesterday." said Bettington stiffly, gi have not been in company with any two men for a fortnight.” Gibbs lowered his gun. He tried to assume a look of amiability, but there was still anxiety written plainly. Bettington, watching, noted that the gun was still in sue i a position us to constitute a threat. Bettington related his misadventures. w "A painter, eh?" said Gibbs. He crossed the room, took down from a shelf a pencil and a piece of paper. These he handed to the other.

Improved Uniform International Sunday Schoo! ' Lesson' (By REV. P. B FITZWATER. D.D.. Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©. 1930. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 1 CONTRAST BETWEEN FIATHFULNESS AND SLOTHFULNESS LESSON TEXT—Matthew ?5:14-30. GOLDEN TEXT— Well done,- good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. 1 will make thee ruler over many, things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. PRIMARY TOPlC—Doing the Best for Jesus. ‘ JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus’ Rule for Promotion.. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Use Our Talents. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Stewardship of Service. This parable, like that of the ten virgins, has a vital relationship to the second coming <>t" Christ. In both instances the unpreparedness for His coming jon the part of the people is shown. In'that of the ten virgins their unreadiness consisted in tjieir lack of the inward life —.absence. of the Holy Spirit. In this of the talents, their failure was properly to use the gifts which God had them. The first was failure to watch; the second w;ts failure to work. To each <>f His servants. God entrusted certain gifts and will hold each respi>nsit>le t<>r their use, By talents is meant whatever faculties and powers one possesses as gifts of God—physical strength, reason,, energy, knowledge, inlltienee. tittle, money, the gift of speech and song. 1. The Distribution of the Talents (vv, 14. 15). - ■ 1. It was a sovereign net. The Lord called His own servants and distributed to them His own money. He did n< i consult us as to our gifts. . The One wii<> created us and absolutely owns us has assigned us our place and given ns our several •powers, intending that we put t|iem to the best (icssilde use. 2. It was an intelligent act. '‘According to his several ability." The God who created us knew <>ur ability to use gifts,"therefore made the distribution upon that basis, 3. It was a pufpt seful act. The talents were given to be traded with, not to be used for one's own gain and profit, bin as stock in trade for tlie enfichtnen I and glory of the Master. 11. The Employment of the Talents (w. 16-18)' 1. All the servants recognized that the talpnts were not their own; that they were therefore responsible to the Lord for the use made of them, This is the first principle of right Christian service. We should remember that we are all stewards of the manifold blessings and grace of God. 2. Two servants used their talents. The tive-talent man put his to use and gained tiVe more, and the two-talent man put his two talents to use and gained two more. This shows that God's gifts can be increased. The exercise of any gift increases it. The faithful use of what we; have in the place where we are will prepare us for greater usefulness and honor. 3. The one hid his talent. The fact that one*possesses but one talent should not discourage him, but rather make him strive the more. God does not reward according to what we possess, but according to our faithfulness. The crime of the one-talent man was, not that he had hut one talent, but that tie hid the talent' which the Lord gave bint. HI. The Accounting for the Talents (VV. i'.l-.’lO). 1. Its certainty (v. IfO. There is a day coming when all must give account »*f their stewardship. Answer must be given aS to the use made of God's gifts. 2. The time (v. 10)? It will tie at the coming of Irhe Lord. 3. Judgments announced (w. 21-30) (1) Reward of the faithful (vv. 21-23). ai Praise. “Well done." Ail like to he.praised. How blessed it will be to hear from Ute lips of the Lord Himself. "Well done." b. Promotion. The great consideration for ail is not how many talents we possess, but as to how faitlyful we are in their use. (2) Punishment of the faithless (vv 21-30). The one-talent man lied when brought to account; a. Reproach. "'liou wicked and slothful servant.” To be tailed lazy is a reproach disliked even by u lazy man. b. Ntrij>ped. "Take therefore the talent frotr him.'" Even the talent which had been given to him was now vyrencited from him. e. Cast out. "fast >nt»> outer darkness." This servant was condemned on his own ground. The very fact that lie knew the character of ids Lord should have been an Incentive for him to have exerted himself.

Here’s Additional Proof That Silence Is Colden Elihu Root said in an after-dinner speech in New York on his return from Geneva: "Silence is golden In diplomacy. It is golden everywhere. “Once upon a time a corpse in a bathing suit was fished out of the sea and sent to an undertaker's. A rich young man called the next day and identified, the corpse as his father. The young man was giving orders to the undertaker for the most expensive burial in the establishment’s program, when the mouth of the corpse fell open, and a row of false’ teeth dropped out. “ ‘That's not father.’ said the y"ung man, ami he hurried away, "The undertaker had been putting the corpse into a mahogany coffin with gold trimmings, but now he put it back *on its stone slab again. “‘ldiot’’ lie said to it. ‘lf you’d kept your mouth shut you'd have had an A-1 funeral.’" Women’s Dress Lieut. Apollo Soucek. who gained the altitude flying record, talked about women's, dress at a dinner in Washington. “There's very little of it.” he said, “and yet, good gracious, how it costs I ' “A movie magnate was dining in Hollywood with his lady friend one evening, and he nodded in. an approving Way towards two pretty girls at a nearby table, and said: •“Two of my stars.
