Just then Joyce - saw Roxie mov- ing capably about the dining -room, and running to her, she flung her arms impulsively about the older woman. - "Roxie you darling!" she cried, "Sam told m e how wonderful you- 've been--" Roxie beamed and flushed 'with pleasure. "I didn't do nothing!" she said confusedly, "But, my it's good to have you .,back; Mrs. Packard, we've certainly missed you! And now do come in to dinner if you and Mr. Neill are ready:" "Where's Dickie?" she asked Neil, when they were seated, "I haven't seen him since •I got back!" "Oh, that'sright-I must send for him. He's been living with Sam since you' left. Moped . about the house so dismally thatwe thought he wasgo- ing to cash in, poor chap.I couldn't do anything for him, He kept looking at•xne reproachfully, asif asking what I'd done . with you. It gave me the creeps." "Funny little Dickie-" said Joyce. Conversation lagged. Joyce o ce did' not want to ask any questions covering. the time of her absence, thinking she might. turn Neil's thoughts toward his mother, and cause him pain. She likewise did not want to tell . him anything about her life in San Fran- cisco during that time: it was now resuming the unreality of a' bad .dre- am, and she had no wish' to revive the memories by talking about it. So she .ate silently. All at once she was aware that Neil was regarding her thoughtfully with a brooding stare unlike the mat that warmed Joyce to the heart, and gravely they opened . the diary be- toren them. It was nearly midnight when they laid the book aside. Fascinated, they 'had read every word of 'the bold handwriting that danced over its pag- es, and, fascinated, they had suffered with the curious, lost spirit that had cried out her secret fears in her jou- rnal. "Oh, Neil, it's so terrible!" cried Joyce, "I knew Frills had been a bad lot, but I never thought of her as suffering somehow — I, never thou- ght of ' her as doing all these things deliberately, in a sort of crazy effort to get back her identity- to remem- ber!" "Yes," said 'Neil, "I don't know much about these things, but I shou- ld think medicos might explain that second blow—the time you were thro- wn from Fire Queen—as a sort of mental snapping, due to th,e pitch you worked yourself up to." Frills' diary filled in most of the gaps in the story that Neil had grad- ually pieced out that day for Joyce. From the scattered notes she learned that Frills had been conscious of her loss of memory, but filled with the conviction that all at once, some day, it would come to her who shewas, where she came from —her ., whole place in 'life. • . "Some deep instinct," the diary said, "kept me from telling anyone. I felt that 1 must discover it, must work it out, for myself.!' And then Iater, came an entry that made a very deep impression on Joyce. "I know I did wrong to marry Neil Packard without telling him. He's too good a man to be treated so meanly, lut I just couldn't 'tell it. I couldn't tell him. And I had to mar- ry him—not again in a lifetime am I likely to me,et.a man so surely poses sing that which can . be depended on. In this crazy world it's "something to Joyce saw that he was trembling like a leaf. ter-of-factness she ^ remembered •in him. "Anything wrong, Neil?" she ask- ed nervously. "No, dear, I'was just thinking how wonderful it was t6 have you back." "Oh, Neil, you muen't say things like , that to me! I know it's only your kindness, you natural sweetness —" Joyce's voice 'choked up, and she left the table. Neil followed her into the living -room. "Well, we won't go into that just 'now, Frills, if it bores you. Joyce was about to remonstrate with him for his misconstruction of her words, when he went hastily on, "By the the way, I found something that'll probably interest you- a diary kept by you -by Frills beginning about the timeof our arrival home in Man- zanita after our marriage," "Can I see it, Neil?" "Sure,, I'll get it, just a minutet And he went rather wearily out d# the room., Joyce ; was worried at the change in Neil. He 'seemed to have lost, all his enthusiasm all his spirit, "I hope he's not really i11," she thought mis- erably. "Of course his mo.ther's dea- th was an awful blow. Perhaps a lit- tle thne ..." Her mind was running along this course when Neil came back, "May I look at it with you?" he ". asked, � I didn't read.. tinucl t of it. Somehow it seemed—not quite right I putaway thought I'd it and read it with' you—when you cavae homier' Ile spoke so quietly that Joyce barely caught the words. ,`Neil," she said impulsively, paus- ing before she opened the book "I do feel at home here!" } He smile x sudden sweet flash d, , know that . loyality of that sort can. be secured !" As the diary went on, the entries became more and more excited. "I ni cheating Neil!" Frills cried, He's got a right to a wife who's more than just a unit existing for the , time be- ing! I've got to get back my memory! Perhaps drink will do it. Bring on the wine cups—I'll try 'em-" .. Why do I take so much per- verse pleasure in shocking people around here? Maybe when I get back my memory I'll find' I was a small' town school teacher, or somebody who never had a chance to express herself! Well, I'mexpressing myself all right these days! All I've got 'to do is to think of something reck- less and wild, to be seized with an insane desire to do itl .." And then, all at once, "Arthur Maitland ugh, how I hate him! Why do I endure him around ane? l God knows! I flirt with him like a common street woinan—yet I love Neill Why do I do it? Sometimes I feel as if it's to try Neil's patience, to see how much he really will stand from me. There seems to be no limit to his affections!" " , I've gone almost the !bait and it's, done no goodi. What did I think it would clo? God knows. Neil knows —I can see' from his face that he knows there's been too much to that affair between Arthur Maitland and rne. If he'd only knock ane down —a blow, they say a blow will bring hack one's memory. But Neil won't —he never will. I'll have to kill my - 'self Perhapsthat horse, that surly brute FireQuecn. But I have a charmed life --a charmed and a denoted one! How is this thing going to end?" And the last entry in the book, in. sprawling, blotted characters: "I've been rotten over that baby of, Sylv- ia's. Of course `Neil wants it brought here. But ;a child—why should I wre- ck a poor child's life as I'm wrecking Neil's? It's better off where it is— Ten a lost soul now." "Neil;:' said. Joyce at last, "Neil, doesn't it help to know that Frills did care about you? She did love. yoke" Neil did not reply to her question and Joyce saw that he was trembling like a leaf: "Do you think—do you think, Joyce, that things might come out as mother hoped they would? Do you think y,ou could feel that this was home? I shan't bother you much myself, but we might bring on Law - ton's shild, and dao our best -with it, between us:" " "Oh, Neil, I feel as Frills said, that in this crazy world it's something to know that loyalty like yours exits! . Do you want me, now, knowing all this? It's been a sorry business, ,and it seems to me you've been the victim!" "No victim about it," he said short- ly, I mean—I do want you—if, well what about this Ainsworth?" "Ainsworth — Robert Ainsworth!" Joyce suddenly had an idea. "Neil, she *aid, "I think I see now what Robert Ainsworth felt that day! I think he must have felt ashamed of his part, in the whole affair -I think he must have seen it all, have real- ized what a splendid person you were, and have felt that he« smiply couldn't run off with Your wife!" Neil looked at her `sideways: "Sou- nds like bunk to 'me. What on earth makes you think that?" "Well, you see, Neil, I never saw him after that day. in the woods, and. you remember he behaved so queerly, rejecting me by his silence!" Joyce had to swallow hard . to keep ' back the emotion that surged over her at the memory,- but- she went quickly "I' -d always felt so sure that he was an exalted being, somebody finer than the rest' of the world, and for him to turn into—into just a cad seemed all wrong. I'd rather be ableto think of him without bitterness -and I do feel Sure •I'm right, that he simply couldn't bring himself to take your wife' a- way. . " Neil smiled. "All right with me, darling, think anything you please, as long as you don't think of him too much!" Joyce regarded him tenderly. "Ne- il," she said softly, "May I make a confession to you? I've fancied my- self so superior to Frills, but I wasn't really nearly as -as keen. It's taken ine a terribly long time to find out what she knew all along . . Neil, dear, .you're the finest person I've ever known in niy life, and T—I love you." THE END T E I. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Isaiah Denounces Drunkeness and other sins' (Temperance, Lesson). Sunday, July 23'.—Isaiah 5:1-30 Golden Text -- Righteousness ex- alteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people (Prov. 14.34), The bible is the only book that is, always up to date. A famous British writer said some years ago that the Bible is interesting as an archaic and obsolete work of literature, but -only as that; it should be placed on the j sophisticates of Isaiah's day is exactly the stupe as that of today, Corruption in 'high plaices, seen in the practises of unrighteous judges and others betraying a trust, worked the same way then as <now, And through the whole chapter runs the dominant *trete of God's lov- ing care for his chosen ;people Israel and their utter betrayal and rejection of the love and .grace that God had shown toward them, This is part of the great diapason of the Bible, Gocl giving Israel unique opportunity and privilege, Israel rejecting her oppor- tunity and' denying Him, and God's patient, persistant, unclefeatable love winning her back in the end and making her, as He intended long ago His greatest phannel of blessing to the whole human race, The chapter begins with "a song of, my beloved touching His vineyard, My well -beloved •hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill." The prophet tells .what the owner of the vineyard had done, by fencing it in, gathering out the stones, plant- ing it with the choicest vines, build- ing a tower in the .midst of it for protection, making a winepress, then looking eargerly for a rich fruitage. And all it brought .forth was wild grapes! The Prophet asks Jerusalem and Judah to render a verdict. What could have been done, more than was done, for this vineyard? Follow- ing ist utter failure, what should the owner do? He could only take away the . hedge of defence, bteak down the wall, 'let it be trodden down and laid waste,. so that only briars and thorns should spring up. He would even "command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. For the ` vine- yard of the' Lord of Hosts is the House of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasantplant."And they had utterly failed Him, even as the Jews have done, with monotonous repetition from the time of Moses until today. The Lord Jesus Christ used the vineyard figurein one of His parab- les. He made the application as He told this parableto the Pharisees, and said: "The kingdom; of God shall be taken from you, and given to ' a nation , bring ing forth the fruits thereof." Drunkenness was one of the sins of Israel•in that day; as in America and most nations today. "Woe unto them. that rise up early in the morning, that they may 'follow.' strong drink; that continue until night, till wine in- flame them! And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of they Lord, neither consider the operation of His hands." Is not this a pretty accurate •descrip- tion of some "wild parties" of today? Atheists . mock God, ' challenging Hirii to "make speed, and hasten His work, that we may see it"; and that is what they did in Isaiah's day. The "superior" intelligence of to- day, that have gotten ` beyond the Bible and the "mediaeval theology" of the Christian Church, say., they is no such thing as sin, but that each generation and each individual must decide what' they think:. best. There are no blacks and whites in this "modern" thinking; no clear-cut con- victions. Here is Isaiah's description of such people; "Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight" Paul wrote by inspiritatiorn of such people, quoting. Isaiah: "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent, « Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." We sometimes find that there' is divinely inspired satire in the Bible. Isaiah predicated swift and unspar ing judgment upon Israel and' Judah, as their human .enemies should come upon them, defeat them, and take than into captivity. His predictions were fulfilled ie all' their severity. Were the sirts of the Jews in tit.at day,.and later when they rejected and crucified their Messiah, the end of the Jews forever? Paul by inspiration asks and answers this question: "I say then, hath God cast away, His people? God forbid.: , God hath not cast away his people which He foreknew." For God is going to bring Israel ' back to Himself some day, when their Messiah and our Saviour returns, and Israel "shall recognize and receive the Messiah. "And so all /erect shall be saved: as it is written. 'rhete shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away un- godliness tens from Jacob (Rom. 11:1, 2, 26): shelves as an antique, having no re- lationship to present times or pres- ent life. Books written by that brilliant English writer are already out of date, but not the Bible. It' is always not only tipto date, but al- ways ahead: of the times in which we live*, for it contains infallible proph- ecies not yet fulfilled,as well as many that have been fulfilled to the letter. Our lesson chapter in Isaiah, writ - tet more than seven centuries before Christ firstcame to earth, describes present day life in. America and, in other nations with startlingaccuracy, these while s . dcscriptians were also ac- curate accounts of what was happen- ing in Isaiah's day, B,C. 760. Varied and "expert" ways of getting drunk, es .popular then, i are described, and they are not different froth the pop- ular methods of today.

It is still heard, however, in descriptions of a condi- tion of which the usual symptoms are headache, dizziness, indigestion, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth and ;a depressed, tired feeling, This condition is described as bil- iousness because the vomiting which occurs usually brings up bile, and so it is supposed that the liver, which manufactures the bile, is out of or- der. In such cases the liver is out fo order, but the liver is not to blame, This organ carries on its work, day by day, without upsets, but if it is called upon to do more work than it is capable of doing, then trouble re- sults. If, for example, too much food is eaten,particularly if the overindulg- ence is in sweets and fats, there is very apt to be an upset of the digest- ive system, constipation occurs and the liver is overworked. When the liver is unable to function properly, the whole body suffers and the indi- vidual feels depressed or "blue." This condition does not call for purgatives or liver pills. What is needed is simple food and reasonable attention -to the manner of living. If the body is overloaded with foods, the machine becomes choked and. cannot function -properly. If waste materials are not got rid of, the ma chine cannot run smoothly. The eating of a wide variety of plain foods` is important. Overindulg ences in' any particular food must be avoided. Food must be thoroughly chewed. Meals should be taken at regular hours and not hurriedly. The body requires exercise, which is best obtained in games or in some outdoor activity, such as- walking or gardening. A glass or two of water upon rising and between meals is de- sirable. Regular elimination can be. secured through theestablishment of a regular toilet habit, together with. exercise ,and diet. It is the neglect ' of these health needs which results in attacks. of bil- iousness or sick headache. There is nothing else that will take the place of these requirements; certainly no- thing in the form of medicine, Health is not found in a bottle of medicine.. i by. ra1}et , JOHN LEBAR "Go bock!
