One morning two years later she woke, after a fall 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 beena heartless, pleas- ure -loving ure-loving young woman. One let- ter that troubled her was from.a wo- man signing herself Sophie, binning 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. R. C.

Walker Furniture and Undertaking NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY It was evident that Neil was blow- ing off steam which had accumulat- ed for some time, and secretly Joyce's spirits rose a little. She was glad he was asserting himself. She had an odd little feeling—odd when you she wanted to be friends with hhn, that in the future he would not have to worry about her actions, drove her on, "Well perhaps that blow ,on' the head knocked a little , . . sense into me." On impulse alone Joyce suddenly came' close to him and smiled up in- to.his face, a little tremulously, and said, "Please, let's start over again .and, after this :.. well, don't ex- pect me to be any white -robed angel, but Pll try not to worry you too .much." She. was ,unable to say more, for Packard abruptly drew her close to him and kissed her again and again, murmuring words of grateful sur- prise and .happiness. "Frills, darling .. I love you so, sweetheart- You. . you really mean it, dear? . . . I thought all my chances of happiness were gone, but now Pll do every- thing I can to make it worth while— to hile—to help you if you really mean it." Joyce, submittingto his caresses, reflected ruefully that she had never been so much kissed in her life as she had been since she woke up in Mrs, Neil Packard's bed. Gently she tried to free herself. Poor Neil! He did find it hard to believe that any such miracle as this had happened. She smiled again, all her joy in the day restored, .knowing that he would go off to work filled with hope for the future security of his home and happiness. "Of - course, I mean it. But you needn't take my word for it. Just give it a thirty days' trial. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money refunded," P i I: \ ^ iN rl (1 o She laid her arm gently around Joyce's shoulder. considered that he was, in terms of actual experience, nothing to her— of pride in his outburst. Frills seem- ed to her more than ever an alien, a separate individual, almost like a first wife. She was moved by Pack- ard's emotion and filled with an ov- erwhelming desire to erase that hurt• look from his face. "I'm not trying to put anything over on you. I . . . I don't blame you for not believing me now,, but I swear I'm telling the truth about this. I know I've been pretty . rotten, but now ..." she paused. It was so difficult to say what she wanted to. A :mixture of shyness and fear, and the unaccustomedness of putting her feelings into words, held her back for a moment. But again her desire to make Neil realize that A. R. & F. E.

And don't forget our date at five this af- ternoon." "You bet . I won't! Gee, but : . . whoopee! I ... I wish I didn't have to go down to the office. I feel like celebrating—" "You go along!" exclaimed Joyce, alarmed at the threatened loss, of her day of freedom and feeling the need of a rest after the strain of ' this stormy scene, "I can't have you ar- ound all day. I'm going to be busy." "All right! And say, if anything does come up you'd rather' do this af- ternoon, it's all right, you know. We can go to mother's some other time." "The dat is made. If it's broken, it'll be your doing. When she got out to the stable Joyce found Sam about to mount the black horse. "Oh, Sam, where are you going?" "Why, Mr, Packard asked me to take some papers to Jake Anson. It's up beyond Elk Flat in the hills, a good 'long way from the road, so he told me I'd better ride Barney; ex- plained Sam. "Well, couldn't I go with you?" de- manded; Joyce, She was still a little nervous about going out alone, when all the trails were so unfamiliar to her. "Why, sure! I'll saddle Rosita." When Joyce got back at noon af- ter a two-hour ride, during which she learned much about. the country and its possibilities for horseback riding, she was informed by Roxie that she had missed two sets of callers. Joyce played with Dickie in the Barden for half an hour after lunch, then she retired to her room to rest and read until time for Neil's return. "I'm out to every one, Roxie," she gave definite instructions. "I don't care if it's the Prince of Wales." At four -thirty she dressed carefully and then waited for Neil to appear. She was pleased when she heard him arriving at ten minutes before five, an evidence that he intended to take no chances of missing- their appoint- ment. , When he came in and saw Joyce in the living room, obviously ready to go, his anxious look turned into a positive beam of pleasure and relief. "Hullo, Frills, all ready to go? Fine!" and as Joyce got up he ap- proached her with the intention of kissing her. But she stepped aside and made it plain that, she . preferred to avoid his greeting. To her relief. he: did not press the matter. "How's the Duesenberg working?" he: inquired as they went out togeth mingled with present loneliness and pain, Joyce thought, and when she did not smile her mouth was set in curves of .quiet resignation. "Are you feeling quite well again, my dear?" asked Mrs. Packard after Neil had; told, about his trip, "Neil said you had a bad fall." "Oh, yes,'I didn't really get hurt," replied Joyce, "though I suppose I might easily have been killed." "Yes, it frightens me to think of it," said Mrs. Packard, a shadow crossing her face. "Fills r is looking well, though, don't : you think, mother?" asked Neil, "Doc spoke of it to me today. She's been keeping sort of quiet sin- ce the accident and getting in a lot of sleep;' off one morning on Rosita for alall- When they were outside the house, day ramble through the hills.

Mrs. Packard who had been ittin uictl azin out of the win "Oh, it's all right," replied Joyce indifferently. She went :up' to Neil's big blue car and waited for him to open the front door. "Don't you want to go in your roadster?" asked Neil in surpise, stopping beside the: car. "No, I don't, I don't like the color of • it," retorted Joyce, and suppress- ing a smile, she continued hastily, "anyhow I prefer to have you drive today." Packard got in and started the en- gine without further delay. They drove down the main street of Man- zanita where they were greeted right. and .left by a bewildering number of people and • Joyce was on pins and needles for fear Neil would stop to talk to' any of them. After half an hour during which she grew more nervous every .minute what in the world would she say to Neil's mo- ther?—they stopped finally at a charming little bungalow covered with. rose vines and surrounded by a garden of :beautiful flowers. They en- tered a friendly, low -ceiling room paneled in white and with wide win- dows framing _a view of distant. mountains across the valley. Mrs. Packard rose to meet them and Neil, kissing her, said gently, "Well, mother, here we are, corne to make you a little call, Frills'and I" "My dears, I'm delighted toesee you both!" exclaimed his mdther,. holding out her hand to Joyce while. she kept Neil's in her clasp; at the same time. Joyce shook hands with her and smiled silently. "Do sit down, children,' it's so good to see you,"went on Mrs. Packard, beaming happily as she returned to her comfortable: armchair in fropt of one of the'windows, "when did you get back, Neil?" "Last night, mother, and • you bet I'm glad to be back," replied Pack- ard. Neil's mother was a woman in her late sixties,with soft gray hair, and a face pleasantly fresh and clear - skinned. Only in her dark eyes could one read the shadow of past sorrows, Thursday, June 1St, 1933 The next night when they were go- ing upstairs Nell salt(, "Look here, sweet, I hate like tile devil. to have you sleeping indoors.

Nearly a fortnight' later Joyce set s g q y g g i when she insurprise clow,lokeduprs p saw her daughter-in-law reappear. Joyce ran acros the room and kneeling beside the chair, she said hastily, before her courage should go back on her, "Do you . do you suppose we could be friends, after all? Or has Frills . . . have I been too awful?" To her dismay she saw Mrs. Pack- ard's eyes fill with quick tears and a flush mount to her forehead. "My dear, my dear, nothing would make me happier than to . to be able to be a friend to my son's wife," she replied, her lips 'quivering, "to have you want it-" She laid her arm gen- tly around Joyce's shoulders. "I'm coming again soon, alone, and then we'll . • . we'll get acquainted," stammered Joyce. She rose and" lift- ing her head nearer, kissed Mrs. Packard lightly. Then she ran out of the room to ' Neil. When they got back to the house Joyce was relieved to find that : they had no company. "Let's see what's on the radio to- night?" suggested Neil. Joyce as- sented, rather curious to hear. She soon discovere d that Neil's idea of enjoying the radio was to spend' his time and effort trying to -get distant stations. Joyce, bored finally at the super- latives of the unseen speaker who was, boosting enthuiastically for the glories of California,: got' up and said goodnight, hoping that Neil would remain downstairs. Packard 'immediately shut off the radio and announced his intention of aecompanying her. By the, air of happy expectation on his face, . Joyce realized that she was about to reap the inevitable results of her friendli- ness toward him that day. She decided this time to take no chance of repeating the soap incident and he reached the bed -room when t a y she turned to him and said, "Good- night, Neil, I'm going to read for a while." "But, Frills sweetheart," he began, detaining her, "you've been so won- derful today and—I love you so! I want you so, dear." He drew . her closer into his arms whispering the last words close to her ear. "Such adorable little ears!" he said, kiss- ing them again and again. "I" 'be so happy if I were sure of you!" "Listen, Neil," she said quietly, "won't you, if I ask' you as a favor to me and as a return for being what you call reasonable and sensible,. won't you please let me sleep in the'. other room without asking questions and going through this sort of thing every night?" Her manner evidently' made an im- pression on hint for he released her immediately, saying, "I'm sorry, dear. It's just that I love you 'so.". He paused and added hesitatingly, "But—will you, come of your own ac- cord when you're ready?" • "Of course," promised Joyce has- tily, suddenly extremely embarrassed by theconversation after her mom- entary self-confidence. She said good -night again and went off to her room and •shut the door. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON X - JUNE 4 4?

Christ invariably sought God's- blessing when he ate, and we should. do the same. It is an act of grati- tude due to the Giver of all good. He brake it. To signify that his - body would be broken on the cross. The Lord's supper is at every point. a reminder of Christ's sacrificial and.:' atoning death. And gave to them.

And said, Take ye. Par- ticipation in the Lord's supperis not optional, it is commanded. This is. my body. His body was there be- fore them, ministering to them, so that the language is clearly symbolic, and the doctrine of transubstantiation is manifestly false. And he took a cup. Our Lord left no commandment that his memory should be perpetuated by the use of an intoxicant. And when he had en thanks. Christ knew that un- measured benefit would come to mankind from his death, so that he could give thanks even over this symbol of his life -blood poured forth from the cross of shame • and agony. He gave to them: and they all drank of it. The minister was not to eat and drink for the people, -but each member of the worshipping congre- gation, through all the future, was• to ` have his share of the spiritual feast. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant. The ceremony was a sacrificial act toward God and an act of self -dedication and consent to God on the part of man. Which is, poured out for many. The :discip les were few then, but.. Christ looked forward to the time when they should „. be a vast multitude, as they are. now. Verily I sayunto you.

And to say unto him one by one, is it I? Note that no one of them pointed to Judas and said "Is it he?" They had no idea 'that he was a traitor; but Jesus knew (Mat- thew); for when, not daring to keep silence, he raised the question which all otliers were asking, "Is it I, Rab- bi?" And he said unto them, It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in . the dish. Our Lord gave him a token by which to mark the trait- or. He it is to whom I shall give a. sop when I have dipped it. For the Son of roan goeth, even, as it is written of hini. Christ's death was not accidental. It was foretold in the Old Testament (Ps. 22, Isa. 53, rete.), and it was part of God's plan and foreknowledge from the be- ginning of the world (Acts 2:23). But woe ttnto that man through. whom . the son of man is, -betrayed! God's foreknowledge of his deed did not compel Judas to .perform it, and was no excuse for it.
