CHAPTER VII
Mark, standing; with his hand on
the back of his chair, wanted to
ttrike him for it. He knew that he
had never before in his life been
(tearer murder than at that mo-
ment! Something hardened in him;
be 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 hint
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
!lands 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.
``I don't seen to remember you,
;sir, as — a Byrani!"
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
* * *
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 !!:lark's eyes; he turned his
thin old shoulders toward, him and
smiled crinkingly at Pani,
"How's your aunt, my dear?" he
asked dryly, suggestively, his atti-
tude — excluding Mark from the
conversation — seemed to say:
`,you're in bad company, my child;
go hone!"
. Pam was flushed; her lip trem-
bled a little but she forced a smile.
"I'm going to meet her now — I
was on my way when—" she did
hot speak the name, "Byram,"
again, it seemed unlucky --"I've
got to go- nowt" She turned ' to
Mark. "Couldn't sonietsne call me a
taxi?" she asked hurriedly; "I'm
conscience-stricken when I think
of Aunt Lynn waiting!"
"I'll get a taxi for you myself,"
Mark said promptly; he was mind-

* * *
He left them standing by the ta-
ble, the girl trying to make tally,
plainly agitated; the old man's
thin, black -clad back still squarely
on the retreating offender.
"Hang him!" 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
him to own iniquity.
Traffic was congested outside,
and the doorman took quite a while
to summon a taxi. It seemed in-
terminable to Mark, wondering
how bad Fosdick was making it.
"If I'd told myself!" he fumed.
"Well, I deserve it — it was a
black thing to do!"
"Here it is, sir, one of the new
rate ones, too!"
* * *
' Mark swung through the revolv-
ing doors of the vestibule and made,
his way toward the alcove. Fos-
dick's back was still there, turned
his way, and Pam was opposite, a
Iittle flushed, a little ill at ease, he
could see that. He felt a sickening
dread of the enlightened look she
plight give hint, but, as he came
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 Pani without
apparently seeing him at all. He
was -treating the young man like an
offensive cockroach•, to be ignored
when it could not be conveniently
crushed.
The red :Rtes„ stain ..-- Mark's
cheek-ae•hd walked down the room
with Pam. They did not speak, ta-
bles were . filled op`, 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 know it?"
She looked up at that, her eyes
gravely perplexed. She shook her
head.
"Didn't Fosdick tell you?"
"NoIt,,
They looked at each dther. Bit-
terness and shame and blind rage
at the old lawyer seemed suddenly
swept clean away; Mark only knew
that he loved Pam!
"Of course you saw •that some-
thing was -wrong?"
She gave hm a sweet, frank look,
putting out her hand, "I thought
he was—horrid!" she cried warm-
ly.
He held her hand close 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 afternoon, five
o'clock."

MERRY SCHOOL
LESSON
JESUS' CONCERN FOR ALL
February 4
Matthew 9:1, 9-18, 18-26
Golden Text, — Therefore all
things whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so
to them, for this in the law and the
prophets.—Matthew 7:12
The -most ooncise account of our
Lord's life consists of one sen-
tence only; "He went about doing
good and healing",.Previous to our
lesson we find the people prayed
that Jesus would depart out of
their midst. Jesus do_:; not remain
where he is not wanted, and he en-
tered into a ship and carne to his
own city,
Jesus pass -ed Matthew,. who was
busy in the employ of the Roman
government dollecting taxes. Only
two words were spoken "Follow
me" and without hesitation Matt-
hew left all to follow Jesus. Let
us not be too busy with earthly
pursuits to hear the call "Take up
thy cross and follow me", Luke
tens 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
talk or sit with sinners who
practiced the laws of purification,
was an act of defilement. Jesus put
thein to silence with the words
"They that be whole need not a
physician, but they that are sick".
But there are many who consider
themselves whole as the pharisees
did, and know not that they are
"wretched, and miserable, and
poor, and blind, and naked".
"Go ye and learn" was a rebuke
to those who prided themselves in
their education and knowledge of
the scriptures. Jesus refers then
to Hos. 6:6, where the prophet
taught that God loved mercy more
than sacrifice. Jesus goes on to
state his purpose "Not to call the 1
righteous, but sinners to repen-
tance". Of aourse this included
al., as "All have sinned and come
short of the glory of God."
* * *
The Pharisees had come to criti-
cize, but this ruler cane for help
and to worship Jesus. He recog-
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 woinan of similar
faith who had been suffering for
many years touched the item of his
g-urment and was instantly healed.
Arriving at the home of the
ruler, they found that the girl
had been pronounced dead, and
many friends had gathered, When
Jesus mentioned that she only
sleepeth, they ridiculed him, God
cannot work in an atmosphere of
scorn, and not until they were put
out did Jesus restore the child to
life.
Ncedlr"s to say the news of this
wonder fel nil cle spread through-
altt the land.

Last Saturday was 'such a lovely "
day—a day that was good to be
out in—so I announced my inten-
tion of walking to town. Partner
laughed "You won't walk very
far," he said. "Why not?" I in-
quired,
"Well, have you forgotten
there's a political convention in
town today? There will be cars
by the dozen on the road!"
Sure enough I had, hardly left
our own gate when I *as offered
a ride, And I don't mind telling you
I was glad to accept it because
1 was carrying five dozen eggs
and already they were much
heavier than when I left home, I
didn't know my Samaritan driver
at all — and I didn't inquire whet-
her he was Liberal or Tory —
it was enough for pre that he was
a gentleman and with a young boy
along to satisfy ,,the proprieties.
*
We got to town, and my good-
ness, , you wouldn't think there
were any bad roads in the country,
that is, judging by the number of
cars on the street, They were
parked from one end of town to
the other. But I had little time to
waste so I hurrieid along, did niy
shopping, had a cup of tea with a
friend and was then ready for
home.
Just as I got back to Main
Street, party satellites were coming
away from the Town Hall. I went
into one of the stores to pick up
a few parcels and what •a kick I
got out of watching the passers-by
from my hide-out!

Now I wouldn't go so far as
to say I could tell which of the
people I saw were. Conservatives, .

The Master Of
The Mill
Frederick Philip Grove
The brilliant Canadian author of
Our Daily Bread has built an ex-
tremely skilful novel around the
widely differing careers and char-
acters of three generations of mill -
owners whose fortunes grew swiftly
with the growth of Canada.
There is the mean and ruthless
founder of the mill around whose
grain elevators the town becomes
a teeming city; his son who be-
comes a senator and whose engin-
eering genius the old man uses
without a nod of thanks; and his
grandson, Sir Edmund, third mast-
er of the mill, reared in luxury,
who wields the immense power of
the mill with his grandfather's real-
istic unscrupulousness, Mr, Grove
uses with telling ease the recollec-
tions of the aging senator, of Sir
Edmund's wife, and of an outsider
to give a full, rounded picture built
up in much the sante way as is
a story that one hears by word of
mouth about an intriguing situation,
many sided, which the people who
lived or watched it never tire of
discussing,

Liberals, or C,C.F,'s. But I can
assure you it was very obvious
which were Conservatives and
which were not. It was downright
comical. Any other Saturday you
would see farmers in groups talk-
ing
alking as freely and easily as you
please. 'But not this Saturday.
There were groups of men talking
—yes—but they were all in their
"good' clothes and looking very
-pleased with themselves, and ob-
viously all of one party. P: esently
a man in overalls would come
along, give the group he was pas-
sing a furtive glance, accompanied
by an almost imperceptible nod.
His nod would be returned by one
equally perfunctory accompanied
by a glance at once self-conscious
and condescending. It was as good
as a play to watch — and the
players so unconscious of it all.
* * * -
Then began the trek out of town
—but I noticed it was only the
rnen in overalls whoappeared to
be in any hurry. The men who
were "dressed" were apparently
loath to leave their buddies.
The real climax of this little
story will conte on Monday night
when another party convention is
being held — and I haven't a
doubt the furtive glances and the
condescension will then be in re-
verse.
Of course it wasn't long before .
I hadto think about getting a
ride home. But with whom? I
really wasn't particular. Far be it
from me to criticise or dislike any
person on account of his party or
creed, I think there is enough room
in the world for all of us. How-
ever just as I was considering tak-
ing my chance on ,lai,..open road,
I saw a well-known' an coming
along, box sleigh attached. It was
our neighbour and a ride home
in the open air suited me just fine,.
