STORY FROM THE START Handsome, fastidious and wealthy—young- St. Croix Creighton awaits his sweetheart at their trysting place. She is late, this ordinary little Pennsylvania Dutch girl, Meely Schwenckton, but he awaits her eagerly. She is so demurely beautiful, he thinks, but so out of his "class." Despite her seeming innocence and ignorance, she succeeds in keeping him at a distance, to his chagrin. Meely, in the Schwenckton home, where she is boarding, is altogether unlike the girl who meets St. Croix clandestinely. She is the teacher in the neighborhood school, of which Marvin Creighton, St Croix' brother, is superintendent. Due to family differences. Marvin Creighton boards in town, near Meely. Meely learns that Marvin was to have married his cousin, a titled English lady, but, believing she was attracted by the Creighton wealth, had refused the alliance. It is the rumor that St. Croix is to take Marvin's place and marry the English girt CHAPTER lll—Continued “But,” said Mr. Schwenckton, puzzled, “you must know how to schoolteach when you’re a grad-yate of Kutztown Normal yet! Well, I guess anyhow I Us we don’t elec’ no teacher to our William Penn that ain’t got her Normal school diarploma.” “Oh, yes—well, but—yes, of course,” Meely concluded in some confusion. She glanced surreptitiously at Aunt Rosy—and found, to her discomfort, that she was being regarded with a look of cunning suspicion. “Say!” suddenly spoke up Rosy. “Have you got such a Kutztown Normal school diarploma?” “Why—why, of course—why, of course I have.” “Mister,” she demanded of her brother-in-law, “did you ever see her diarploma?” “Ach, Rosy, what’s over you? To be sure, she had to send her diarploma along with her application and her photygraft when she wrote for the job here at our William Penn. Your photygraft.” he said to Meely, “don’t favor you much. You're a lot prettier than that there photygraft.” “It’s funny,” answered Meely, “how my photographs never look like—never do me justice,” she amended her remark. Again she found Aunt Rosy’s little cunning eyes boring like gimlets into hers. Meely Schwenckton seemed to herself, these days, to be ever walking in fear. Yet never in all her young life had she found existence so exhilarating, so tense with interesting suspense. It was not really fear, she decided, only a thrilling apprehension that hung over her every minute of the day and night; an apprehension which even if realized could not really bring harm to her, only awkward embarrassment. “But somebody else would feel more awkward and embarrassed I” she smiled to herself. However, this apprehension, following her ceaselessly, was a bit nerve-racking; and the startling knowledge just acquired that Marvin Creighton (her "Steady Date’s” brother!) stood over her as the school superintendent and was therefore bound to make her acquaintance very soon, greatly augmented her sense of the danger of her situation—a situation brought about less by her own plotting than by a succession of fortuitous and unforeseen circumstances. Never would she have had either the audacity or the ingenuity to have arranged such an extraordinary chain of circumstances. “Up to now, I’ve always held fiction to be stranger than truth—but never again! If I were a novelist I’d never have the cheek to make up such a lurid and improbable yarn as I’m living!” she amazedly told herself. “If I offered it to the movies I’m sure they'd consider it too true to life to be convincing.” If either of the Creighton brothers should ever see her in the other’s company! Or if St. Croix discovered she was the district teacher, instead of the ignorant cow she feigned to be! Or if any of the Schwenckton family discovered her meeting with St. Croix or any of the other things about her which they were congenitally incapable of suspecting! It was just three days after her last rendezvous with St. Croix that one afternoon at a quarter past four, school having been dismissed and her plain tailored school dress having been changed right here in her empty schoolroom for the fancy, cheap finery in which she always disguised herself to meet her “Date.” that she came out of the school house and after locking the door and hiding the key under a stone, glanced cautiously up and down the road before starting for the distant hilltop where St. Croix would be waiting for her. For she intended again today to keep him waiting. Last Monday she really had been at their meeting place long ahead of the appointed time and, having been curious as to how he would treat her tardiness, she had, on his appearing in the distance, hidden in a clump of bushes and watched him; his restless (impatience, the eager light in his eyes when once he thought he heard her coming; and then his childish maneuvers to deceive her —his descending the hill, skirting the base and climbjag up again on the other aide is all

that mud! How she had enjoyed herself watching him! Evidently Marvin was not such an ass as St. Croix. “From all accounts he sounds like the Noble Army-of-Martyrs-I’raise-Thee! Which is worse, I v >nder —to be a bounder or to be so uncomfortably noble?” It certainly did sound uncomfortably noble to be willing to live at Absalom Puntz’ when you could live in the much more comfortable home of the Creightons. For Aunt Rosy’s investigations had proven Mr. Schwencktop's surmise correct —Marvin Creighton was boarding, for the time being, at Absalom’s cottage on the Schwenckton’s farm, w’liich fact added considerably to Meely’s uneasy apprehensions. As she strolled on her way to her meeting with St Croix, In the lovely October sunlight, she wondered whether she should amuse herself with “luring” Marvin as she w r as “working” St. Croix (for other reasons than her amusement). Marvin might not be such easy game; they said he despised girls—- “ Probably he’s afraid of them! Or he doesn’t know any nice ones of the Noble-Army-of-Martyrs style. Could I work the noble stunt, I wonder? Risky! Might get my two roles mixed up ! Better keep off Marvin !” It was just as she came to this conclusion that suddenly, with a jump of her heart, she saw him emerge from a lane on the road ahead of her and, turning in her direction, come straight toward her on the highway in a long swinging stride. She recognized him by that stride, for she had seen him that morning going across the Schwenkton’s orchard to Absalom’s cottage. That strong, free gait of his would have arrested attention anywhere. How different from St. Croix’ dapple prancing. Suddenly she realized that she dared not let him recognize her in this ridiculously festive frock she was wearing, for as he was bound to meet her soon in her school room dressed in her own character, the contrast would make him suspicious. But how to elude him? The highway offered no escape. She wore no hat that she could pull down over her face. And he was almost up with her! In desperation, as they were about to pass, she raised both her arms to fuss at her hair and thus conceal her face. But through the crook of her left arm she saw that she might have spared herself the trouble, for he never so much as glanced at her; apparently so engrossed in his own thoughts that he remained quite unaware of the passing of a pretty girl! “Well!” she breathed in mingled surprise and pique, for she was used to young men's looking at her as they passed. “Never batted an eyelash at me!” She had caught a glimpse of his face and the rest of her walk to the hilltop seemed all too short for the interesting reflections aroused thereby. For she had perceived the remarkable fact that Marvin and St. Croix Creighton looked extremely alike, yet totally unlike; alike In feature and coloring and unlike in countenance. St. Croix’ smugness was here replaced by a rather wistful melancholy ; St. Croix’ cynicism by an expression of grave kindliness; St. Croix’ scornful pride by a look of genial humor; St. Croix’ keenness by a reflective, inquiring expression touched by bewilderment Os course, all this was not revealed in a passing glimpse. But a great deal of It unfolded to her consciousness as, while she walked, she continued to gaze on the mental image she had caught, of a face so arresting as to make that of his brother, whom she was going to

Napoleon and Lincoln Among the Henpecked

The henpecked man can scarcely be classed as a product of modern times. Historians relate that many of the world’s most famous men, including Napoleon, Lincoln and Socrates, were henpecked. One of the letters written by Napoleon to his wife, Josephine, ends with the postscript: “A thousand kisses—as burning as yours are frosty.” Lincoln, it is said, was henpecked because he was too shy. Count Montgeles, the German biographer of Lincoln, declares that Lincoln’s wife loved him superficially, her own selfish ambitions predominating, adding that she constantly pecked at him and almost drove him mad. The duke of Marlborough, one of Winston Churchill’s ancestors, and acclaimed as one of the greatest warriors of his day, was madly in love with his wife, who, however, nagged him Cars Quickly Cleaned After passing through most tunnels, trains are usually dirtier than they were when they entered, but exactly the reverse is true of a passage over one of the railroad lines in France. After going through it, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, every car Is brushed and vacuum-cleaned, saving the time and labor required for scrubbing with hand implements. The tunel is an archway which is lined with brushes and vacuum-cleaning attachments. As the train is pulled slowly along, the polishing and cleaning apparatus functions automatically and, in doing so, reaches almost every part of the exterior of the cars

meet, seem by comparison inslgnifl cant So absorbed had she been, as she loitered along, that she forgot all about St. Croix’ annoyance if he were kept waiting for her. So that, when turning a curve in the path up the hill, she suddenly saw him standing there above her, looking coldly of fended at her tardiness, it brought her up with a sharp start. The expression of his face made her feel more like turning tail and going back than going on to the top. “Just imagine,” she thought as she tolled up the rest of the slope, "being married to such a disposition!— to a man who’d take it out of you so whenever things didn’t suit him exactly!’’ She smiled inwardly as she thought that if she were a girl whom he wanted to marry, he would surely never so reveal himself to her. “He’d surely have the sense to hide, not flaunt, his selfishness and egotism and show me a better side of himself; for of course he must have a better side.” Probably with his own class of people, his own family, he was quite different; she had surmised from things he had unconsciously betrayed that he adored his mother and, would die before he would hurt her; that he greatly honored his fatherd and that though he almost hated hist elder brother, he respected him. “So you’re actually here, are you?”! he ironically greeted her as she stood 1 before him, looking like Magdalene, the Penitent. “Oh, but, Mr. Creighton,” she pleaded, “my stepmom’s so bad, she can’t set and she can’t lay! This here wasn’t no gay-low day for me, now mind I’m tellin’ you, with Susie so pooily and all! I near broke my neck gettln’ here!” “I suppose you mean gala day? Don't, my child, use words you're not sure of. Well,” he added, grinning appreciatively, "If Susie can’t even cackle, maybe she’ll soon be croaking.” She did not laugh this time, but; gazed at him blankly. “And I was upl so late last night,” she continued hen , excuses, "that I was near too tired) to come this here three miles this alter.” “You poor child! You mean you were sitting up with your sick stepmother?” “No. Widower Holzapple he’s settin’ up with me Thursdays." “What? Holzapple? Who’s he?” “Ach, such a old man, as old as Pop yet, with three full-growed chlldern. Pop's awful pleased, for Hl Holzapple he’s well fixed and owns his own place clear. But, you see,” said Meely in an Injured tone, her eyes anxious, “he never says straight out he wants to marry me, Jie Just tnslnyates that way. He'll set for an hour without passtn’ a remark—Just set— i and me tryln’ to keep awake. And then all of a suddint he’ll shoo, off a remark —‘My childern says, now Pop'll never he lonesome no more.’ Or he'll hitch his chair closer to me and say, 'My childern are pleased.' Or if he sees my head noddin', I'm that sleepy, he’ll wake me with the remark. ‘Charlie will give us a weddin’ dinner over at his place.’ But. you see. Mr. Creighton,” she complained, “it never leads up to nothin’! lie never gets furder’n Insin-yatl?nL He never yet held my hand oncet nor even tol’ me my eyes were pretty." “But how could you marry nn old man with grown chi'dren?” asked Nt Croix disgustedly, faking bls usual seat on the broad, flat stone and motioning her to hers a few feet away. “Look here, you're not seriously thinking of marrying that old man—what's his name? Holzapple? Are you?” he demanded. “I gotta marry somebody. What difference is it? —seein’ I can't marry the one I like!” she mourned. He hastened to divert her from this ; dangerous snag. “Come here to me.” I She obeyed him eagerly. “See what I’ve brought you.” He produced two packages from behind the stone. With childish acquisitiveness and a । touch of Pennsylvania Dutch acquisitiveness, she opened the box of a dozen ornate handkerchiefs (so ornate she had to check a laugh at sight of them; he had evidently Judged her taste from her blue voile frock trimmed with artificial flowers; she would keep one for a souvenir and give the rest to Lizzie —how Lizzie would adore them’). But her pleasure in his other offering, a live-pound box of candied fruits, was not assumed. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

all the time. In 1704 he wrote to his wife on the eve of a battle: “I’m not nearly as much afraid of my 60,000 foes as I am of you when you are mad at me.” Next day, with Prince Eugene of Savoy, he won a big victory over the forces of Louis XIV j of France.—New York Evening World. Animals’ Color Sense The colorful world of green grass and trees, red meat, brownish-gray mice and yellow dogs is all just gray to cats, according to Prof. F. M. Gregg of Nebraska Wesleyan university, who experimented with the color scheme of night-prowling animals. Dogs and raccoons also lack .color perception, he finds. In his experiments the animals were taught to recognize various color combinations. They learned that when certain colors were shown they could come up and expect to be fed-. When shades of gray corresponding in brightness to the different colors were substituted for the brilliant rainbow hues, the animals apparently noted no change in the dinner signals. The dog, a fox terrier, was quickest to learn, the cat next, and the raccoon the slowest of all. Sure-Fdoted Goral Among the strange animals that came under the observation of Roy Andrews, who conducted an expedition into further China for the American Museum of Natural History, was the goral, a mountain goat. “I have seen a goral,” says the explorer, "run at full speed down the side of a clifT' that appeared ‘o be almost perpendicular.”

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jesus the Giver and Preserver or Life. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Works of Faith. The accounts of the raising of the damsel and the healing of the woman are so interwoven us almost to cou stitute one narrative. But since the persons are diverse and places sep arate, and the one an interruption of the other, they should be treated sep arately. I. Jairus’ Daughter Raised from the Dead (vv. 22-24 and 35-42). 1. Jairus’ urgent mission (vv. 22,23) His only daughter (Luke 8:42), per haps his only child, lay dying. In this time of utter helplessness he came to Jesus for he had faith In His ability to raise her up. In the providence of God, sorrow, sickness and death nr< often used to bring needy men and women into contact with Jesus. H< showed the proper attitude toward Jesus, “He fell at His feet” (v. 22). 2. Jesus goes with Jairus (v. 24) Jairus believed that If Jesus would lay His hand upon his daughter she would live. Such faith always get> a response from Jesus. . 3. News of his daughter's death (v. 35). The messenger who brought the news of her death suggested that Jesus should be excused from going further, as It was now too late. 4. Jairus faith strengthened (v ' 36). As soon as Jesus heard the words spoken concerning the death of this girl, he said to the father, “Be not • afraid, only helleve.” 5. The mourners rebuked (vv j 37-39). He now dismissed the crowd and allowed only three of His disciples ! and the parents of the damsel to en ter this chamber of death with Him A tumultuous wailing slowed th i despair of the friends. 0. Jairus’ faith rewarded (vv 41 43). He took the damsel by the hand | and issued the command for her t< arise. The expression “Talltha cumi' \ In the AnrumiUc seems to be free!) I expressed. “Wake up. little girl.” Sh< i straightway arose and walked »n< partook of food. Iler walking was the proof of the reality of the miracle 11. The Woman With an Issue o' Blood Healed (vv. 25-34). 1. Her helpless condition (vv. 2' 2G. cf. Luke 8:43). She had been u great sufferer for twelve long years, not only from the disease itself but from the physicians | as well. 2. Her faith (vv. 27, 28). She possessed a real and earnesi faith. For a poor emaciated wom.n after twelve years of suffering to pres- . her way through a thronging mult Hide shows that she possessed a de termined purpose. The test of the a< tuality and quality of one's faith 1- ■ the activity which characterizes th< । life. Her faith was so strong thru ■ she believed contact with the Masters garments would secure the needed help. Though her faith was strong j it was imperfect. She only knew Him , as a wonder worker, but through this I experience she came to know Him a* : a compassionate Savior. 3. Her healing (vv. 29-32). As soon as she touched the hem ol His garment she experienced in her body His healing power. Jesus Him self was conscious of the outgoing of virtue, therefore Inquired, “Who touched me ’’ to which the disciples replied with amazement, “Thou sees! the multitude thronging thee and say est thou, “Who touched me?” 4. Her confession (v. 33; cf. Luke 8:47). She thought secretly to get the blessing of healing, but Jesus perceived that virtue had gone out from Him and bad her make a public confession. 5. Jesus’ words of encouragement (v. 34). Witli the communication of Hi< healing virtue, He spoke most gra cions and comforting words to this poor woman, telling her that it was her faith, not her touch that had saved her. Faith does not need to face dan gers and to exhaust itself in active endeavor in order to gain Christ's blessing. All that Is required is h trusting prayer. Not only did she gain the blessing, but had the distinction of being the only woman on record as having been addressed by Jesus as “daughter,” which shows His spirit of tenderness to those who come to Him with their needs. Not Till He Comes Not till that Just One comes is the morning to dawn, for He is its light; and from His countenance is to break foil!) that light in which all earth is to rejoice. Then the darkness of the long night shall disappear, and the brief tribulation tasted in the time of absence be forgotten in the abounding blessedness of Ills everlasting presence.—Horatius Bonar. Prayer Prayer, which changes both the man who prays and the world he lives in, is not achieved without concentrated effort.—Selected. Antagonizing the Bible The man who antagonizes the Bible must depend upon a general respect for the Bible to make It safe for him to live in the land which he has chosen for h’s antagonism.

HoweAbout- ’! ED HOWE : I J I ©, Bell Syndicate. WNU Service. Nearly every business that blows up has been founded by a booster, and conducted by booster methods. Everyone believes In success, progress, the best methods, but a good many are suspicious of boosters. Too many devote time to boosting that should be devoted to quietly straightening things out; to bard work by correct methods. In half the towns in this country the real material Interests are neglected In boosting for something the town Is not entitled to. A good business Institution gets all the boosting It needs from the men who built it up, and from citizens envious of Its success. Boosting is the politics of business; nearly always boosters do not know much about real business. , * * * A woman has turned up who has been married to six men. She declares they were all unfaithful A woman who has had such an experience reminds me of a man who has had many business partners and failed to get along with any of them. . . . Such a man usiully does not amount to much; but maybe this woman was always right in her six quarrels. Still, a record of six marriages is not very nice; it reminds one of actors, or Indians, or colored people. * * * You a 3 punished ns your offending Is serious to others. Seriously wound a man and the penalty Is Imprisonment; kill him, and you are hanged. No one much cares it you harm yourself; indeed, everyone will aid you in harming yourself.

Because of the knowledge that being nice pays, and is easier than being tough. The greatest sermon ever written, or ever will be written, Is that honesty Is the best policy. No one man wrote this sermon; all men lived, proved It. Those who violate the sermon know better; they are actuated by meanness, recklessness. Many of them are jailed; a few hanged; all punished in one way or another. * * * I heard a fine old gentleman talking recently, and he said a thing that attracted my attention: “1 believe in the boys chasing the girls, not in the girls chasing the boys.” There is a lot in It, if you will think awhile, and recall the women you know’ who are chasing the men.
