WB,IkerT .I' urniture and Undertaking THE WIN HAM ADVANCE-1I11MS TIiursca May 18th, SYNOPSIS Joyce Ashton, '.poor stenographer, suffered a loss of memory in a skid- ding zi g taxicab accident in Chicago. One morning two years later she woke, after a all from her horse, her memory restored, to find herself as Frills, the wife of Neil Packard, rich California fruit. packer. She 'de- termined to tell nobody of her pre dicament but set about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleas- ure -loving young woman. One let- ter that troubled her was from a wo- man signing herself Sophie, . blaming. Frills for not giving a home to a baby Sophie was caring for. Could it be her baby, Frills wondered! She also found herself involved in an af- fair with a man named Maitland. In San Francisco, where she went while her husband was away on business, she met Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she had always admired.. When Joyce returned home, she de- cided to be pleasanter to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dangerous, too, for Neil was pathet- ically anxious to win back ' Frills' love. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Can you stand it to have only ,me for dinner this once?" asked Joyce. "Whoopee! Just ask me, can I!". he replied. "You know that, Frills, • • rushing into the first 'remark which occurred to her in an effort to cover her embarrassment. "Good: Lord, no!" he exclaimed hastily, "Only ... only , , ," he hesi- tated, "I'm sorry, Frills, I can't keep up with you, You've jumped me so hard about talking shop and said so often you didn't give a damn about what happened so long as you didn't have to hear about it that—" "Well, I don't want to know .every- thing that happened. I just wondered if you had a successful tripin gener- al," said Joyce. She began to wonder if Frills had ever had, a decent word for anyone. "Oh, sure, we fixed up what'I went for and got the new branch office planned out and ready for business," he said. "Sam said there was a fire at the plant here," remarked Joyce casual- ly, "but almost no damage done. Had you heard' about it?" "Yes, I called up from the city be- fore I came down. But, tell me what you've been doing with yourself, Frills. How's ' every onein the gang? Doc been in much?" "Don't know, I just got home, to- day myself," replied Joyce, "I have-, 'n't seen anybody I know, for nearly two weeks. The first two days after you went they wouldn't let me alone, and I wanted to be quiet, so I walk- ed off and went up to the city alone." There was an uncomfortable sil- ence. Packard "ate for a few moments with his eyes fastened on his food I "Are you afraid it'll cause a' scandal if anyone discovers you've been out with your own wife?" old kid, I'll go up and wash and be right down again." When Packard came down the stairs Joyce divined his intention to kiss her again, and she moved toward the dining room immediately, saying, "Dickie eats with us. At least he sits at table and snaps up what favors he can persuade me to give him, don't you, darling? He has his regular din- ner in the kitchen." ""Where do you want his chair?" inquired Packard politely, "Here you are, boy, get up and let's see how good your'. table manner are." They sat down opposite each other at the small round table with Dickie between them. Joyce was'struck by the lingering> bewilderment on Pack- ard's face. There seemed to be some- thing he couldn't quite understand, but he asked for no 'explanations. "Gee! it's good to' be home again," he began. "I sure do hate Chicago." She asked politely, "Was the con- ference a success?" Packard stared, Joyce flushed, "Oh, is •it something I'm not supposed to ask about?" Joyce understood without doubt that he didn't believe she had spent all that time in San Francicso ' alone. Why should. he? Suddenly she knew that she wanted him to believe it. It was perfectly obvious to her that he° loved Frills and that he was a little afraid of 'her. Joyce wondered with a sudden thump of her heart how he `would' like a baby around the house. If she could only ask him about that baby in. New York. "I promised Dickie to throw a stick for him," she said as 'they left the table, "if you care to join us, come along," and she ran across the ter- race and down the wide stone steps to the stretch of lawn at the top of the garden, without waiting for a re- ply. Packard lighted a cigarette and followed her more slowly. By the time he joined them she was racing around with Dickie, having a lively game and secretly amused to wonder what he thought of the unusual sight of Frills enjoying a childishlysimple p pleasure of this kind. She turned to him and asked very abruptly, "Are you very tired afte your trip ?" "Good Lord, n"o!" why?' lie answered evi , dcntly startled, "It's going to be glorious moon light in a few minutes. Let's go to a horse -hack ride." His look of blanl at this suggestion •cause her heart to sink for a moment. Sup pose he refused! A gust of angry impatience struck her. If they didn' hurry, somebody;would come and spoil her plan! "What's the matter? Afraid it'1 cause a scandal if any one discovers you've been out with your own wife?' she. demanded. "Hell!" grinned Packard, "I should worry about that. ' But you can't blame- me for. . . for wondering if I heard you right. You — we havent' spent many evenings together lately." There was something in his voice which hurt •Joyce a' little. She had not found him exactly. interesting so far, but she already liked him enough to be sorry for- the way Frills had been treating him. "Well, it's up to' you," she heplied, "I'm going for a ride and if you want to .come, all. right." Secretly , she quailed at the idea of going out alone for the,first. time. Would it'be light enough for safety? Could'she handle Rosita? .But Packard .accepted without fur- ther questioning. ""I'll tell Sam to saddle up while we get into our things," he said. "Run . on in, darling. Let's light out before any of the gang shows up." "Take Dickie with you and leave him with Sam," said Joyce, • .and rembling with excitement, she raced nto the house and. upstairs to her big closet,:where she proceeded to kick off her slippers and pull her dress over her head as rapidly as possible. She was;just drawing her oots on when she heard Packard rosy the bedroom and go through o his dressing room." •Scarcely five, minutes later they ere hurrying.downstairs and out to he stable. She noticed as they rode off' slow - y that Neil kept eyeing her in an pprehensive fashion. She decided he must be worrying about the accident he had had and probably wondering what mad idea the moonlight would spire in her - tonight. Well, if he were -looking for trouble of that kind e would be disappointed! "Want a cigarette, dear?" he asked ce, holding out his case toward her they rode close together• on a ort level stretch along the hills. yce accepted it but did not dare to y lighting it while they were mov- g. probably; been so unpleasant that he bad learned his lesson thoroughly. Try as he would, joyce could not keep Robert Ainsworth from her' thoughts. The beauty of the night brought vividly to mind his delight. fun personality, It would be so per- fect with the right man! Joyce wondered most of the„ way back if her' silence puzzled Nell verye much, She' would have chatted will- ingly enough, but nothing except dangerous remarks seemed to; occur r to her. Neil was 'little help for he too rode in silence. What was he -” thinking? Looking at him she thought with amusement Prunes!" "Don't you feel well,_ Frills? You r you're sort of quiet tonight," said ]c Packard, in what Joyce described, to d herself as a "cautious voice'," "I feel absolutely wonderful!" she retorted with spirit, "can't I enjoy t myself just once without shrieking over it?" "Oh, sure, only it's .. it's not ex - 1 actly like you." • Joyce, torn between impatience and ' amusement, answered., `"Well, what- ever I do. is me isn't it?" Packard made no reply to this, but a little later on he said earnestly, "Look here, sweetheart, I stopped to see mother today on my way down. She'd like awfully to . . . be friends with you. Won't you, please? I'd give anything in the world if you'd go to see her and just be nice to her a few minutes. You needn't go often or spend much time.there, but if you . .. she's so anxious to have things friendly. It's tough on her, my being her only son and my wife never go- ing to see her. She's getting old, you know. Before Neil stopped Joyce felt a lump coming into her.throat. His voice was so pleading and so anx- ious. She remembered the sweet-fac- ed woman whose picture she .had found in his desk drawer, and how. she wondered if his:mother were still living. "Well, all right, I'll make a date with. you . to take me to see her to- morrow. I won't go alone," and was a little pleased with herself for her diplomacy. Her prompt acceptance surprised him, she saw, but he seized upon it gratefully. "Thanks a lot. We could take a run out there before dinner. Could you be ready at about five? Or would that interfere with any- thing you're doing? We don't have to :go tomorrow, you know." "No, we'll go at five..If you for- get or let any business interefere you' will have hard work making any more dates with me -for anything," retorted Joyce. "I'll be there, I'll tell the world. Gee, Frills, that's sweet of you. You know how much mother means to me," Joyce rode on in silence thinking fast and furiously. If she could do hings like this for Packard surely he needn't feel that all the giving was on his side, even though she re- used him herself. She could give izx more of her company than Frills ad; she could eliminate all cause for i ealousy with Maitland; she could a make his house more of a real home, b Or was: it too late to do that? And' s ould, she follow out such a plan ithout misleading him as to her celings? Well, she had made enough con -s cessions for such a short tune!' The t future must somehow take care of s itself. h As, on foot once more, they ap- t proached the house from the terrace k side, Joyce heard voices.; and when f they entered ' the living room they P were immediately surrounded by a t welcoming group who had evidently c been waiting for their return. s "Well, what do you know? Frill's as been riding in the moonlight with her c husband! Hot stuff! Somebody tele-. h phone the scandal to the papers," di The company consisted of Doc EI- le lison, Rigs and Clarice Emery,; Char- se lie Bates, and Art Beltnain, Joyce n i b c t w t 1 a s in Iz on as sh Jo tr in s f h h "That gives .me permission to kiss j you,"he remarked, smiling as he handed her back the lighted cigar- 0 ette. 193.E while you were East, did you, Neil?" asked Art Belmain, "Not a round," replied Packard. The men proceeded to talk golf and business. As the Party broke up, Dr, Eili- son said in an aside to Joyce, "Say, Frills,, you're looking much better than you clid two weeks ago. Has your .head bothered .you any lately?" (Continued Next Week) TIIE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS ANSWERS HIS ADVER- SARIES Mark 12: 2840 Golden Text,—Never Man So spake. John 7:46, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING, Time,—Tuesday, April 4, A,D. 30. The closing week of Christ's earthly ilfe. Place.—Thee temple in Jerusalem,.. OUR LORD FOILS HIS ENEMIES And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. The scribes recorded the laws and interpreted them. And knowing that he had answered them well. He" had just heard our Lord's crushing reply to a member of the opposite party, a Sadducee.l Asked him, What com- mandment is the first of all? Not, of course, what is the first command- ment of the • Decalogue, which any child •could tell, but which of all the commandments is the most import- ant to be observed? Jesus answered, The first is, Hear O Israel. It was not one of the Ten Laws, but was the root of all of them. And thou shalt love the Lord thy: God with all thy heart. With all thy affections. And with all thy soul. With' all thy being, considered as a unity and working together. And with all thy mined. With all thy men- tal power, the logic and reason and intellect. And with all thy strength. With all thy physical powers; thy body being entirely devoted to God, with all its beauty and skill and force. The second_ is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. To love's one's neighbor as one's self implies that' we must love ourselves. And the scribe said unto him, Of' a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that lie is one; and there is none other but lie. It was only the law- yers who would have answered the. question as Jesus answered it. And, to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and. with all the strength. The scribe omits "with all the soul"—the three particulars he repeats comprehend the soul. And to love his' neighbor as himself. This is the portion of Christ's reply that had been neglect- ed by.the Pharisees and scribes and rabbis, so that all this scribe's cord- al acceptance of it is the more not- ble. Is much more than all whole urnt-offerings. The chief form of acrifice, the entire animal being con- umed on the'altar. And sacrifices. Other sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he' an- wered discreetly. Wisely; for, al - hough it was Christ's answer, . the cribe had made it his own by his earty acceptance of it. He ` said un - o him, Thou art not far from the ingdom of God, Jesus had rarely ound anyone to understand him so romptly and so thoroughly, and his intelligent sympathy was wel- ome:to this lonely" and burdened pirit. And no man after that dursit k him any question. The heckling eased, for the members of the San- edrin saw that so far from discre- ting Jesus by it, they' were only le ground with the people them - Ives, as one after another of their umbers was defeated by Christ's c "But who wants to kiss his own w wife?" retorted Joyce, urging Rosita fe a quick trot. "Here's one man who does," he re- plied, easily catching up with her.' Riding close to her horse -he put his arm around her and tried' to draw her toward him. Joyce was alarmed, this time. not so much as the prospect of being kissed as' at the danger of such reckless actions while on horseback. "Oh, please don't!" she exclaimed hastily, : "you make me--" ' she had been about to'say, 'you make me nervous" when she was struck by the. absurdity of Frills Packard saying anything like that. Packard looked surprised, but he obediently `fell away a little. Joyce was undecided whether to.be con- ternptuous of him for his lack of spir- it or to conclude that his experience with Frills, when he crossed her, had JtiSAFE! Everyone accepts the fact that Aspirin is the swiftest form of relief for headaches, neuralgia,'neuritis., periodic pain, and other suffering. If you've tried it, you know: But nog one need hesitate to take these - tablets because of their speed. Thee are perfectly safe. They do not de- press the heart. They have no 111 effect of any kind. The rapid relief' they bring is due : to• the rapidity. with which they dissolve. So, keep these tablets handy, and keep your engagements—free from pain or discomfort. Carry the pocket tin for emergencies; buy the bottle of 100 for economy. The new re- duced price has removed . the last reason for trying any substitute for Aspirin. ASPIRIN Trade -mark Rog. he taught in the temple. Matthew- puts atthew puts Christ's' question thus "What_ think ye.of the Christ? whose son. is he?" How say the scribes that the Christ. is the son of David? Jesus, knew is was in a, merely human sense;. the Messiah was to be a second Dav- id, a great earthly monarch, ruling in: splendor and power, having his. throne in Jerusalem, and exalting the Jews over • all, other nations of the world. But that, said Christ, was not David's own conception of the Mes- siah. David himself said in the Holy Spirit. As inspired by the Holy Spir- it. The Lord said unto my Lord,' Sit: thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the.footstool of thy - feet. This is afar more 'exalted pic- ture of the Messiah 'than'anyearthly- ruler such as the scribes expected. David himself calleth him Lord;,: and when is he his son? ` Christ does. not here''expressly say that he, the Messiah, is. the Son of God as well. as the son of David, but he must have set many of his hearers to, thinking along that line, and his dis- ciples, bearing these -words in mind? after his .'resurrection, inevitably came to that conclusion. And the common people heard, him gladly. The preacher who would be heard by - the y the people must build; no wall- of se- paration between himself- and :the-' common crowd. CHRIST'S CONDEMNATION AND, PRAISE. And in his teaching he said, Be ware of the scribes. This must have: sounded strange indeed to Christ's hearers, about as if one should say today, "Beware of professors of the- ology!" But Christ goes on, to give his reasons in the form of a descrip- tion. Who desire to walk in long robes. The scribes took pleasure' irc this kind of display. And to have salutations in the market places. Be- cause there; the largest number would see the honors paid to them.
