Gordon peeredanxiously out of the window, "Papa," she said .nervously, "I do . u wish you'd put on your shoes, There you are 'in your stocking -feet and I believe Nancy's going to bring young Roemer in!" - Mr. Gordon glanced up from his newspaAer. . His wife turned slowly from the window, a slight flushon her smooth round face, a face that had a skin al- most as fine as a baby's with only tiny wrinkles about the mouth and eyes—like a,withered rose leaf.. "Papa, I think Nancy-" There was a pause. She did not finish, for the door opened and Nancy came 3n. She clos- ed it behind her and stood looking it them, laughter in her eyes. "You dear old things," she said gayly, "I thought you'd gone to bed; 1 know I'm late!" "We sat up for you dear, but I was afraid you'd bring Page Roemer in, and find Papa here in his stocking- feet." tockingfeet." Nancy laughed. "Page wouldn't mind," she said, taking off her hat and tossing it upon a chair. She had glor- ious hair; the tints of auburn in it glinted like sunshine caught and held in wavy brown shadows. She swept a r uijipled lock in place now witha deft little touch, absently unconscious of the grace of it. It was lovely—the music, I mean, and we walked home; that's why we were so late, and—oh, Papa, I met old Major Lomax there; he stopped me to ask, quite pointedly, about Rod- dy. He 'said: 'Tell nae, child, is he do- ing well?"' Of course you said he was!" her mother exclaimed. "Why, I thought the major knew that Roddy was in the Greenough Trust Company in New York," she added proudly. Nancy; who was looking at her fa- ther, nodded thoughtfully. "He knew all that, of course, but he was very pointed. I didn't know just what he meant." "He's getting old," remarked Mr. Gordon grudgingly. "Lomax must be close on eighty -that's all. He prob- ably forgot that Roddy was grown up. I thought he was getting dotty when he let Haddon buy that racer— Polestar Third -out of his stables. Did he keep you?" he added grimly. "It's eleven o'clock. I'll wager the squawking was over at ten -thirty; you and that Roemer boy must have found love, Nancy," Mr. Gordon retorted, "Do -I understand that you're in love with Page?" he added dryly. Nancy moved easily across the room and looked out of the window her small slight figure and the upli of her defiant Tittle head showin plainly against ,the square of darknes "That's just what I'd like to kno'. Papa," she replied, and laughed a lit tle tremulously. Mrs.' Gordon stirred uneasily. "It' trine to go to bed, Papa,"she warne him, trying to catch his ,eye. But he ignored her, reaching for pair of old heelless leather' slipper and thrusting his feet into them. "If you're so keen about falling i love, Nancy," he remarked calmly it's a pity you couldn't have manage it with Richard Morgan." - Nancy flashed around upon hi her blue eyes wide open. "I hate that man!" she said quickly "Hoity-hoity!" said her father, ris ing, "you'd better go to bed; it's time you got a little sense and—" But Nancy interrupted him with little startled, joyous cry, .her eye fixed on the space outside the ope window. Then she ran tempestuousl to the front door. Mrs. Gordon looked blank, "It can' be that Roemer boy back again!" she exclaimed. Mr. Gordon, '.whose ears were sharper than hers, pushed back his chair, -looking toward the door. "It's Roddy." "Roddy?" Mrs, Gordon sprang to her feet, flushed and eager. "It can't be—why, Roddy darling!" For Nancy : appeared, driving her_ brother before her". The reading -lamp on the center table made a soft illu- mination which showed young Gor- don tall and slender 'and boyish, but otherwise very like his sister. "You got off unexpectedly, didn't you, Rod?" Mr. Gordon' asked. "Got a vacation?" Mrs. Gordon, still clinging to Rod- dy's arm, was absorbing him so close- ly that he did not answer, and his fa- ther spoke again—sharply.. "Did. you hear me, Rod? How much of a vacation have you got?" His son laughed suddenly, and fool- ishly, a deep- blush mounting. to his hair. "That's what- I'd like"to know,"he exclaimed. "I hope it won't be cut too short!" "I hope not!" his mother agreed warmly. "You've been working too hard, you know it, Now you've got. to let me have my own boy for a while. Have you had your slipper on the train, dear?" .she added anxiously. 'Let me get you something—a slice of cold ham-" she started toward the door. But her son stopped. her. "No!" he, tied hoarsely, "Don't! For God's ake=l can't eat! Hain?" he ,laughed hrilly; "ham? When' a man's done ft g. s. w, s d` a s • ,:. d m, e a s n y t c s s forl", He made an angry, swaying move- went toward a chair, stopped short and rallied himself, folding his arms on his chest in a boyishly tragic atti- tude. His hair was disheveled, too, one long lock hung between his blood -shot eyes. His startled family, gradually taking in these details, dis- covered that his necktie was untied and his collar wilted. Mr. Gordon suddenly sat bolt up- right in his chair. "What's the matter with you, boy?" he demanded sharply. "Have you been drinking?" "It was lovely—the music, I mean, The young fellow steadied himself, and we walked home, that's why we're 'white to his lips; his haggard eyes so late." turning slowly fromone, to another the walking good." His daughter laughed. "It's a love- ly night," she said archly. Her father laid his newspaper across his :knee, "What !'you see in that fellow,. Nancy Virginia?" he asked impatient- ly. She gave hien a sidelong look, her dark lashes shading her blue eyes softly, without casting :darkness into them "What do 1 see in Page?" she smil- ed provokingly, showing a fugitive dimple an_ one cheek. "I'rrt stire I don't know. Do you think people do usually? Do you suppose old Major Lomax knows. what he saw in that poor Diana Aylett? He's 'mourned her for forty years, hasn't he? Or— ot do you really know what you saw first in Marna, Papa?" "1 suppose the major and 1 fell hi in the little group, "No," he said thickly, "I'm not drunk --I'm a thief," No one spoke; his mother dropped into the nearest chair and his father stared at him with his mouth open: Only Nancy drew a little nearer, searching his face, her eyes intent and wide, She caught at his sleeve, "Roil! What do you mean?" He shook her hand off. "You'd bete ter not touch me, dance, I'xn a thief that's .what I came home to tell You -all." . The repetition was too much, it forced belief, Mr. Gordon pushed himself forward in his chair,' gripping the arras with stieh fotee that his knuckles whitened, "What d"you mean?" he demanded hoarsely; "what are you talking about anyhow? Explain yourself." Roddy turned tl a startled look toµ u ward him, whlelt had in it something of his boyish flinching ftotrt the pat- ernal wrath; batt desperately. "I've been taking money --bonds and cash," he repeated it like a lesson he had already learned by rote. "I've been a messenger and go-between in the Trust Company. Mr. Greenoagh sent meover to the banks sometimes himself.I'ye carried a lot of money. Millions, I reckon. I didn't mean to keep, any of it—I meant toreturnit all, but—" he stopped, gasped, and went on harshly—"I can't, that's all, When you can't you're a thief," His mother, staring at him with ter- rified, incredulous eyes, uttered a cry of anguish. "You meant to return it?" his fath- er shouted with violence. "You meant toreturn money: you'd' stolen? My faced th an all ,returned his look with rising fury. ' "I didn't takeit for myself," he cried bitterly; "I borrowed it -bit by bit -,to help someone else, someone in distress.

Mr. Gordon pounced on the pronoun, "You've been giving money to a woman—that's what you have been doing! Some painted hus- sy's been playing you for money!" "She's not a painted hussy!" cried his son passionately, "she's the love-• liest woman in the world -1 love her, I'd steal for her, I'd die for her—I'm going to jail for her now!" • "Going: ;to jail for her now, are you?" his father shouted.

"Can't we pay it back?" Nancy's shaking voice startled them they all looked around at her speechlessly. "Can't we pay up? How much is it, Roddy?" she asked tremulously, her blue eyes fixed on her brother, He gulped painfully. "Fifteen thou- sand dollars!" "Roddy!" his another dropped weak- ly into her chair. Mr. Gordon rose and ` prowled tip and down the room; his heelless slip- pers slappingthe floor at every step. "Fifteen- thousand dollars," he re- peated fiercely; "by gum, you're some spender for •a boy of .twenty- three! You're the first felon in our family, sir. How did you get rid of ,a small fortune? Spend 'it in chewing - gum?" Young Gordon made no reply; he was'breathing hard and drops of -cold perspiration stood out on his ` fore- head in beads. Mrs. Gordon was -sob- bing audibly, her head in her hands, and Nancy stood, looking on. She felt as if her world had suddenly tumbled downabout her ears; for the first time in her life, ,too, her father ter- rified'her, He wheeled now and carne back, thrusting his face close to his- son's. isson's. "What d'you mean by it? Did you forget the family honor—your own good name? Who taught •you to steal? My God in heaven, I never thought my boy"d be a felon!" he raved, His son faced him sullenly, he felt like a:man with. his back to the wall, but the sting of his father's insults was turning :his shame into rage; he 1 e, . "Oh, Papa, hush!" shrieked Mrs. Gordon, snatching at his sleeve, "hush!" She, was in tears. But her husband shook her off. "You keep 'out of it!" he said fiercely. "Youlet me 'alone--I,know what I'm talking about. Here's this—this young jackass been . stealing for ,a hussy! D"you hear me, sir?", he•thundered, facing.his son again. "You've forgot- ten the family, honor, you've forgotten you're a Gordon, you've' broken your mother's heart;' you've disgraced your father and yoursister—your young sister! Look at her, a girl in the morning of -life--with a thief for a brother!" "I'm- sorry, Father," Roddy burst out hoarsely, "but it's not true -about her, the lady, ? mean, who -who—" "Lady?" mocked his father, "lady? By guni! • You fool, you. mad young fool, you've ruined yourself, you've ruined us all ---I'm too poor to bail you out, you'll go to jail. You're a felon, a disgrace to your people, your name, and your family, honor, yourself -and you've done it all for some Worthless, ' painted trollop-d'you hear me, sir? -for a painted trollop!"' His son stared at him for a moment: speechless. He was not quite -sure that the red-faced, screaming, frantic man was his father. He couldn't be! And the insult plunged deep -into the. boy'sraw heart. Hatred leaped up in him like a flame. He emitted a snarl of rage, like a young wolf gone Pad. "Stop that!" he shouted. "I won't have if! You shan't insult her!" „ He rushed blindly at his father, deaf to his .mother's shriek. His hands' were actually on the older • nian's throat before he' knew it. Then, for the first time, he heard his mother's frantic cries. (continued Next Week) THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BAPTISM AND TEM!PTAT'ION OF JESUS. Sunday, claimed any such honor, "1 indeed baptize you with water unto repent- ance; but He that cometh after nae is mightier than 1, whose shoeS 1' atm not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire," Then a strange thing happened. Jesus Himself joined the crowds who thronged this open-air preacher and asked to be baptized, John protested, saying, "I have need to be baptized of .Thee." But the Lord humbly in- sisted: "For thus it becometh us to fulfil all: righteousness." Christ was identifying Himself with His people, though sinless and needing no repen- tance. • As_ this - sacred and utterly unique baptismal ceremony ' was . completed the heavens were opened, the Spirit of God descended "lilce a dove" upon Christ, and, a voice spoke from: Heav- en; "This is My beloved Son; in whom i am well pleased." People Sometimes mistakenly say that the doctrine of the Trinity is found only in a single passage, and that •a questionable ;;one; toward the end of the New Testament. But it is repeatedly declared, directly or 'indir- ectly, throughout the New Testament and this is one of the key passages. Here was the Heavenly Father, 1934. MISSING IN ARCTIC R. H.

The first temptation was an induce- inent to doubt what God had said' forty days before: "This is my belov- ed Son." The tempter said: "If Thou be the Son: of God, command that these stones be made bread." Our Lord was physically hungry; He must have been very weak and faint with hunger after the long fast, to His Son on earth, and the Holy Spiritg e Father upon the Son. Another strange thing immediately follows, that .is,it seems strange to us. "Thenwas Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempt- ed of the devil.
