CHAPTER I —l—- — •Listen," hl?7>ther said to Hal Ireland downtown—ln the large office off the bank that was all soft carpet* soft lights, soft paneling, and enough floorapace rental to keep fire families in comfort for a year; “listen," 'l’re been listening, air," said Hal, •for twenty minutes." The Old Man seemed to wait a little for the slow draining of humor from Hal s alert, gray eyes. Then be said in quiet irony: *T dare say you’ve been told about your charm—" , "Never by you, sir," said Hal with a faint bow, checked gently for fear of startling the alow, heavy throb in bls . head again. *1 dare say you've been told that when you bow that way. and let your eyes twinkle, you’re apt to get your way. But I venture to point out what I can’t convince myself you’ve learned for yourself: that the business world Is not made up of pretty girls or susceptible matrons—social or theatrical; that the business of the country, about which you know nothing. Is carried on by men who think more of persistence and application than they do of capacity to bold whiskey, or acquaintance with speakeasy proprietors or handicaps at golf or the fit of white flannels. "The San Francisco job Is open till the first of the month—because they need somebody, not because I’ve asked them to let you coast in on my name. You’ve got your last penny from me—for transportation or anything else—till next quarter’s allowance. If yon want the job, get yourself out there. If you don't, don’t" Hal’s quick, mobile face was set and he met his. father's steady look with bright, imitersonal steadiness, rather as If he had a peevish, disappointing child before him. Then he got up and straightened his good shoulders with a deep breath. "That allF he said. -That’s all," said the Old Man, briskly casual. “Right" said Hal, with a practiced clipping of the word. "Well—’bye." He swung his back on his father and walked over the thick carpet to the door. In the silence, he could feel his father expecting him to turn there for another word—of hope, or of opening. 60 he pulled the door, caught the other knob behind him, and stepped out leaving only the soft efficient click of the latch for comment Dalrymple - 1 — known downtown as Frederick Ireland’s knife and fork—- . was waiting unoptlmistlcaUy outside, where he couldn't be seen from the banking floor. "BadT" he asked apprehensively. “Bad." said Hal, letting his gray eyes light again with their welcoming humor. "Rage-making. D’you know anything about bromo-seluerl Does it really work!" -They say so, but I've never needed—" "And I’m never going to again—never, never—probably. How do you get td California on six do Harer “Lord. Mister Hal,’’ said Dalrymple, "is six dollars all you’ve—out of the, that chequer “ ’Frald so." Hal reached into an Inside pocket and brought out the zigsag length of the railroad ticket, with a couple of pullmin slips pinned to the top. Dalrymple Idoked relieved. •Oh. but you've got transportation," be said. •On a train that’s bow probably simply whooshing through northern Ohio. Here, take ’em, and if you can get an adjustment, credit the Old Man's account, with my compliments." "If I could —if you'll let me—" Hal smiled, and hie eyes wrinkled tn the corners. "You’re a h—l of a nice guy. Dimples,” bo said, ’but I’m so mad—so mad, for the first time In my life, that I wouldn't borrow, a Confederate nickel from anybody who paid taxes in the same .late with that—that—with my father. He told me—if you'll believe It, Dimples: he told me I knew nothing about money or life or thia country or him or myself or modern plumbing or brokers' loans or God-knowß-whatnot that’s of the moaf quivering Importance to a young man's career. He even made me the simply astounding revelation that 1 was an only child. Had yon heard that, Dimpiea? He sat there and told me—but what the b—l: you’re busy. And I’ve got to got to the Coast. Bromo-seltaer coc’dnl make it any worse, could ItF Dalrymple looked worried, confused, pathetic, and he murmured: “No, no," helplessly. So Hal patted his arm. promised to let him know what happened. and started uptown again. It was in the subway that he remembered the sign they had laughed at last night. In the West Forties, it was, and if be could remember from which place they had been going to which other place, bo would remember the street. "California... 833" was the Uns he recalled, among a list of faros to Chicago, Miami. Detroit, Pittsburgh. and other destinations which bs bad no faintest desire to reach. There."

his father had given him. He’d get to the Coast on fifty dollars and tell bls father what to do with any Insufferable future fight-talks that occurred to him. CHAPTER II * Tuesday Hal’s headache was gone next morning. but so—nearly—was the warming sense of triumph in his inspiration. And that went entirely at nine o’clock when be walked Into the bare, dingy, and crowded garage office from which decrepit careful of share-expense travelers were dispatched about the country. He hadn't stopped to think what the mechanics of the thing might be; but here the possibilities of dreariness seemed promptly Infinite. Eight July days of four hundred miles' driving each, through country reputed to be hotter than, outside. Forty-eighth street already promised to be; crowded into an unwashed derelict of a fine car among a selection from this assembly of desolate, if not actively objectionable looking, people. . . . The first rough cartoon of these vistas nearly bad him back on the street again—to telephone Dalrymple for the easy loan that would put him on this afternoon’s Century. A decent looking man In a clean shirt looked at him across the shabby •How Far You Going F Larsen Asked Her. desk firmly. The telephone rang. Tea Thia is Larsen," said the man, frowning. "Call me later. I'm very busy." Hal upended his old suitcase against the wall near the door and sat on IL Larsen started pawing over the piles of little slips before him. “Now—" be said twice, almost looking up. but each time thinking better of It Then end denly, "You can't take that dog." Hal looked around for the dog, then up quickly to examine who It should be in this place with so smartly bred a fox-terrier.

Pretty, quite pretty, Hal saw; perhaps a little tough, surely self-con sctoun—the even solemnity In her large eyes aware that unauthorised people were looking at her, might any minute speak to her and have to be rebuffed. But pretty, really quite pretty. ’ Row tar you going F Larsen asked her.

“Los Angeles,” said the girl steadily. •Oh," said Larsen, as if Los Angeles were just this side of New Rochelle. "If you keep him in your lap, all right" He turned to the man whose crossed legs Hal could see beyond her. "Does be bite?" “I don’t know," said a lazy, careless voice. Larsen was startfed, "You twoYe together," he said. •No." said the man. Larsen looked at her: she made a slight negative motion with her bead and dropped her eyes to the dog. Larsen fumbled through the slips of paper, stopping to frown at one. “You’re going to L. A.," be said to the girl. "Yes." she said, barely looking up to him for an Instant “And so are you." Larsen said to the man. "Yes, but Fm not with her." Then who Isr said Larsen. Hal let half a smile come through his moodiness ss he shook his head. And Larsen was saved from further astonishment by his telephone, into which he said again he was very busy, loading three seven-passenger cars for Chi and the West. Hal’s eyes kept coming back to ths girt. She seemed not to hear what was going on In the room—stayed quietly, solemnly sure that some one would speak to her. Periodically that annoyed Hal and he looked away. Then he would find himself looking at her again, seeing how the smooth, slight dtp of her cheeks under high cheek-bones seemed to be pursing her lips a little, adding solemnity to her wide, possessed mouth. “Hello, hello," said Larsen impatiently Into the telephone: Tm very busy. Pm loading seven three-passenger cars for Chi and the West" Larsen was sweating. He called suddenly over his shoulder, as if taking a desperate remedy. "De Soto!” A small, cheerful, soft-eyed man, without a hat and looking as if be bad just crawled from under a car, came in expectantly. “Take her bag*" said Larsen, pointing hte pencil at a woman, “and take her to Dallas.’’ The lady's shocked disapproval of little De Soto lost some of Its imperiousness when he grinned at her eagerly and said: "Like a fast ride. ladyF She glared down, her plnce-nex quivering. "Hope y'do, ’cause anybody rides with me gets a fast one." “Now," said Larsen more happily, as If their disappearance made It a family party again. But the telephone rang, and Larsen began his weary piece, about Chi and the West almost before be bad lifted the receiver. “Now, that dog—" he started again, and Hal saw a sort of quick pride take the girl’s face an she raised her head. “No, that’s right," Larsen added. "We settled that We settled about the dog. Now Los Angeles—everybody going to Los Angeles goes with Jake Miller. Miller!" he shouted at the garage* door. “Where’s MlllerF After an hour Hal went across the baking street for a glass of ginger ale. When he came back the slight, tidy man smoking beside the doorway gave him a laxy smile and in a voice that was oddly unsure of pitch said, “Goin* to L. A.F “Guess so," said Hal, trying to be neither discourteous nor encouraging. The trip waa going to be bad enough without entering into relations with anybody. • So’m I,” said the man. “My name's Crack—Mart’n Crack." His eyes seemed dreamily looking for the effect of this on Hal. Hal leaned against the wall, facing the street, and lighted a cigarette. I’m d—d if Til offer him my name, Hal said to himself; if he’s interested, be hoard it In there. “You any relation to Frederick Ireland—the big shot downtown F Hal looked at him with cool amusement in bis gray eyes. “Sure,” he said. "Couldn’t be closer." Crack gave a alight, polite laugh. From his side pocket be drew a bright, new golf ball, dropped It to the pavement where it clicked smartly and leaped up to bis waiting* hand again. (TO BE CONTINUED) - « ' Gnvemnumt of Curacao The government of Curacao consists of the islands of Curacao, Aruba, and several lesser members of the West Indies lying off the coast of South America, opposite Venezuela. Curacao, notes a writer tn the Chicago Tribuna the principal Island of the group, was discovered by the Spaniards tn 1537, but fell Into the possession of Netherland In 1634. Except for two brief periods, 1786, and 1806 to 1814. when it was in the possession of Great Britain, Coracao has been a colonial outpost of Netherland.

UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By REV p. B. FITZWATER, D. IX. MimWr of Faculty, Moody BibU Institute of Chicago. CL WeMe: a Newspaper Union. Lesson for July 7 MOSES (LEADER AND LAWGIVER) LESSON TEXT—Exodne IX-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed Is the nation whose God is the Lord.—Psalm 88:12a. PRIMARY TOPlC—Moses Brings a Message From God. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Laws God Gave His People. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What It Means to Be a Patriot. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Religion in National Ufa. I. Moses Prepared (Exod. 2:1-22). L His birth (w. L 2). Both his father and mother were of LevlUcal stock. At Moses* birth his mother was assured that he was to be the deliverer of the chosen people, and she was confident that God would somehow save him from the hand of the cruel king. 2, His preservation (vY. 8,4). While his mother had faith, she did not Ignore the proper use of means. Perhaps the story of how Noah and his family were saved suggested the expedient of the ark of bulrushes. 3. His education (w. 5-10). Moses was educated first at his mother’s knee. Here hia mind was filled with the Word of God and acquainted with the Jewish hopes and prospects. He was further educated at rhe Egyptian court where he became acquainted with all the wisdom of the Egyptians. This peculiarly fitted him to be the lawgiver and historian of his people. 4. His exile and marriage (w. 1122). Moses was obliged to take his flight from Egypt at the age of forty years because he prematurely attempted to enter upon his work as rhe deliverer of his people (Acts 7:25). While in exile, God taught him and qualified him for his work. During this time of rejection he secured a bride from among the Gentiles. Jesus Christ, his great antitype, while now in the place of rejection by his brethren, is getting a bride, his Church, from among the Gentiles. 11. Moms Called to Deliver His People (Exod 3:1-14). 1. The Lord spoke from the burning bush (vv. 1-6). It was while taping the flock of his father-in-law in the desert that the Lord appeared to Moses in the burning bush, which symbolized the indestructible people of God. 2. Moses (vv. 7-10). In this commission God showed his active interest in his people. He assured Moses that he had seen their affliction and heard their cry. It was because of his grace that he obligated himself to deliver the people out of the . hand of the Egyptians and bring them Into the chosen land. 3. Moses’ objections removed (vv. 11-14). Four objections were offered, each one of which God met and removed. a. Personal unworthiness (v. 11). b. The difficulty of the people to understand Moses’ relationship to God (vv. 13, 14). c Unbelief on the part of the people (4:1). d. Lack of eloquence (4:10). 111. Moses the Deliverer. L From Egyptian bondage (Exod. 12:20-36). The culminating blow was the death of the first-born. There waa death that night In every home through Egypt where the blood was not found. This is typical of the coming day of God’s wrath when all who are not resting under the shadow of Christ's blood shall perish. 2. At the Red Sea (Exod. 14:1-8). Hemmed tn on either side by mountains, the Red sea tn front, and pursued by the Egyptians from the rear, God interposed, enabling the Israelites to cross dry shod. IV. The Giving of the Law (Exod. 1&-24). L The covenant proposed (ch. 19). This is the beginning of the theocratic kingdom. The Lord through Moses proposed to the people that on condition of their obedience he would constitute them his peculiar people (vv. 6,6). To this the people heartily responded, engaging themselves to obey him (v. 8). 2. The content of the covenant (ch. 20). This embraces the Decalogue or Ten Commandments, setting forth obligation Godward and manward. 3. The Statutes of Moses or Secondary Laws (chs. 21-23). These law* pertain to a. Servitude (21:2-11): b. Personal safety (21:12-32): a Property (21:33-22:15); d. Conjugal fidelity (22:16. 17); e. Miscellaneous laws (23:1-9); L Set time* of Jehovan (23:10-19). g. Personal piety (231 20-23). 4. The covenant ratified (Exod. 24). When the law had been duly set forth, tho people were called upon to accept Its obligation* The law was reduced to writing. The people were the* called upon to commit themselves to personal acceptance of their responsibtiity. Tbs covenant was then sealed hy Mood.

said the specter of the girls was an ill omen. Frightened, the superstitious said the volcano's “nushi” (master) was •about to “rise from the land of fire" to lure visitors to "jlgoku” (the abode of the devil). . Three days later visitors from Tokyo, just across the bay. swarmed to the Island, partly out of curiosity and partly because It was Sunday and the island's natural beauty and warmth attracted them. At 10:30 a. tn. about 100 spectators were gathered on the spot from which persons committing suicide plunge to their death. Suddenly a young man. scarcely twenty-five, ran forward and flung himself headlong into the crater. As the spectators, horrified and speechless, looked at each other, another man, a few years older, came out from the throng and, without saying a word, walked as though in a trance and dropped into the fiery pit Nervously the spectators moved away, afraid that some unseen hand might pull them Into the smoldering inferno. Suddenly another youth, about twenty-three, ran to the edge of the crater, stripped himself of his kimono and, with nothing on except short* stepped over the brink into the world beyond. Hardly had the talk of these suicides died down when, two days later, three more men -flung themselves Into the fire-emitting abyss, one after another, as many spectators looked on. z The police have decided that hereafter al! visitors to the Island will be questioned before being permitted to land. Those suspected of suicide Intentions will be barred from landing. All visitors must buy round-trip fares. Officials of the home office tn Tokyo are frankly pessimistic. Last year more than SOO persons lost their lives in Mihara's crater despite every effort to put a stop to the suicide craze.

Ancient Greece’s High Stage of Civilization New discoveries in Athens besides being of scientific value . start thoughts that show the comparative unimportance of the recent revolution in Greece, says Pathfinder Magazine. A cemetery dating back to 1500 B. C. and containing numerous undisturbed and perfectly preserved skeletons was uncovered 50 feet below the indent Athenian senate adjoining the Acropolis. Two thousand years before the burial of these bodies. which had been interred for 2,500 years, Greek civilization emerged from the Stone age. By the time these particular old (Greeks lived dvilization in Greece had struggled upward against countless reverses to a high stage. The ruling class of the time lived in well-made, sanitary buildings, with bath chamber* window** and sliding door* They rode horse-drawn chariots on paved streets, and were entertained by bull-fight* boxing, and armed combat Art had risen to a high level and dose commercial intercourse was carried on with Egypt And about three centuries after these now* skeletonized men and women had ceased to live came the war with Troy. Then came the Dorian Invasion at the beginning of the Iron age —more wars—ups and downs in civilization—conquest by Rome, and the following collapse. Thus the recent revolt was hardly an incident in Greek history.
