MARY IMLAY TAYLOR ..c.a'�.+il:gr.dCa..lt CHAPTER VII Mark; standing, with his hand on.; the bade .of his chair, wanted to -. strike him for it. He knew that he had never before in his life been nearer tftitrder than at that• mo- enentl'Something hardened in him; he had been on the point of con- fession, of making a clean breast of it to Pam,. but Fosdick was like' ,a challenge, He stared back at him ' with fury in his look. There was a breathless kind of silence and Fos- dick's_ slow contemptuous smile, hard as a blow. The -young man's breath came, 'suddenly choking, his hands clenched 'at his sides, he was hardly aware of the girl, nor that Pam's eyes turned questioningly from one to' the other.. "I'm an old friend of Horace By - ram of Utica," Mr. Fosdick's dry voice had a hint of mockery in it. "r don't seem to remember you, sir, as — a Byrant" Mark's white face defied him, "You know I'm not a Byrom, Mr. Fosdick," he said- in a low voice, hardly controlled; it shook a little with the passion that was choking . hinn. * * * Old Fosdick cackled; the sound was as unmirthful'as the startled screech of a frightened hen. But he adventured no farther; he saw the look in Mark's eyes; he turned his thin old shoulders toward him and ensiled crinkingly at Pam.. "How's your aunt, my dear?". he. asked dryly, suggestively,' his atti- tude — excluding Mark from the' convel'satioti. — seemed to say: "you're in bad company, my child; go home!" Pam was flushed; her .lip tremLs bled a little but she forced a smile. "I'm going to meet her now — I was on my way when--. " she did not speak the • nanee, "Byram," .again, it seemed unlucky•,—.."I've got to go now!" She. turned to Mark. "Couldn't someone call .me taxi?" she asked hurriedly; "I'm Conscience-stricken when I think of Aunt. Lynn waiting!" "I'11 get a taxi for you myself," Mark said. promptly; he was mind- ed to leave her alone with his ene- my; let Fosdickc do his worst! * * * He left them standing by the ta- bre, the girl trying to make talk, plainly agitated; the old man's thin, black -clad back still squarely on the retreating offender. "Hang hint!" Mark thought vio- lently; "it's like giving up — but he can have his chance. She's .got to know; I've been a sneak!" His sheer rage at Fosdick did not blind hint to own iniquity.

It seemed in- terminable to Mark, wondering. hoiv bad Fosdick was making it. "If I'd told myself!" 'he fumed. Well, I deserve it — 11 was a black thing to, dol" "Here it is, sir, otre of. .the new rate ones, tool" * * *. • Mark swung through the revoly- ing;doors of the vestibule arid made his way toward the alcove. .Fos- dick's back was still there, turned his way, and Pain was opposite, a little flushed, a little ill at ease, he could See that, He felt a sickening dread of the enlightened look she might give him, but, as he cane up, she smiled, relief in her eyes. "The taxi?" she asked quickly. "It's waiting for you." Mark wanted to tap Fosdick on the shoulder and force him to turn, but the old lawyer managed, cleverly, to shake hands with Pane without apparently seeing him at all. He was treating the young Bean like an offensive cockroach, to be ignored when it could not be conveniently crushed. The red was staining Mark's cheek as he walked down the room with Pain, They did not speak, ta- bles were filled up, and, once or, twice they had to pass single, file between them', but he thought she knew; he could feel a change in her. Outside the door he stopped her. The street was crowded but they were alone together for all that. "I've got something to say to you," he said hoarsely; 'I suppose you jtnow,it?" She looked up at that, her eyes gravely perplexed. She shook her head. "Didn't Fosdick tell you?" „No l„ They looked at each other. Bit- terness itterness and shame and blind rage at the old lawyer seemed suddenly swept clean away; Mark only knew that he loved Pane! "Of 'course 'you saw that some- thing was -wrong?" - She gave hm a sweet, frank look, putting out her hand. "I thought he was—horridi" she cried warm- ly. He held her hand dose a moment and kept it to help her into the taxi. He could not tell her there— in the street! She smiled at him from the cav- ernous depths of the checkered' black and yellow monster. "You're coming to see me? Let me see-' I'm home tomorrow afternoons, five o'cidck." He had .no right to go there again, but he had a right to tell the truth in 'his own way! He. merely said, in a 'strained voice, "Five, tomorrows—it's not a func- tion, is it?" • She smiled tadiantly, leaning for- ward, her hand on the door, to an. swer, ' "Just you -no one else!" Then she was borne away, and he knew she had no faintest hint of the awful thing he had to tell. her. Suddenly he wished. Fosdick had done it, Not A.

Consider this item contained in the writinzs of Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States: "We now plow horzoutally following the curvature of the hills and hollows on dead level, however crookeel the lines may be. Every furrow thus acts as a reser'vo'ir to receive and retain the waters.

BRIDE ' WORE COTTON Here comes the bride — dressed in eyelet -embroidered cotton with organdy 3Ieeves which proves once again that cotton isn't used - solely for frocks and aprons to wear about the house. Alfandri of Montreal designed this number, government collecting tares. Only twowords were spoken "Follow me" and without hesitation Matt- . hew left all to follow Jesus. Let us nor be too busy with earthly pursltits to hear the call "Take up thy cross and' follow me". Luke ' tells us Matthew "made him a great feast in his house". Matthew celebrated this memorable 'occasion by inviting all his friends to come and get acquainted with the Lord Jesus. Is it not a challenge to us to tell friends of the Saviour? The 'Pharisees ' who were con- stantly watching -Jesus asked his disciples why their Master should eat with sinners, For anyone to f talk or sit with sinners who practiced the laws of purification, was an act of defilement, Jesus put them to silence 'with the words • "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick". But there are nsany who consider themselves whole as the pharisees did, and know not that they are "wretched; and "miserable, and poor, and blinej, and naked". "Go ye and learn" was a rebuke to those who prided themselves in their eciucatiois and .knowledge' of the, scriptures. Jesus refers them to Hos, 6,6, where the prophet taught that God loved mercy nsore than sacrifice. Jesus goes on to state his purpose "Not to call the righteous, but sinners to repen- tance. Of ,;ourse this included xl', as "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." • The Pharisees had come to criti- • cite, but this ruler came for help and to worship Jests, He tecog- nized the fact that even though the child might be dead, a touch of the Master's hand was sufficient to re- store " her, On -His way to where the child lay a woman . of similar faith who had been suffering for many years touched the herrn of his g•u'ment and was instantly healed. Arriving at the home of the ruler, they lotted that the girl had beep pronounced dead, and many friends had; gathered. When Jeans mentioned that she only eleepeth, they ridiculed him. God dttnnet work lin an atmosphere of scorn, and not until they were put out did Jesus restore the child to life.
