WNU Service SYNOPSIS The future of the still youthful and comely "Wldder" Marcla Howe, recently released by >death from her Idling hus band, la a conversational tlt-blt among housewives of the tittle hamlet of Wilton. Eligible bachelors and widow ers also are Interested. Marcla Is lonely, and has invited her late husband's niece, Sylvia Hayden, whom she had never seen, to visit her. A stranger, on the verge of exhaustion, finds his Way to Marcla's home. 8ecretly, he asks Marcla to hide a package contain ing Jewelry. She does so. Kllsha Wins low, town sheriff, brings news of a jewel robbery nearby. The stranger gives his name as Stanley Heath. Syl via, by chance, discovers the Jewels, and naturally believes Heath Is a rob ber. She realises that Marcla must have hidden them, and decides to say noth ing, putting the gems back In their biding place. CHAPTER V? Continued Prince came bounding into the house from some -distant' pilgrimage of his own, almost knocking her down in his eagerness for breakfast. She glanced far up the shore and saw, serenely rocking with the tide, "My Unknown Lady." As she whispered the name, she was conscious of hot blood rushing to her cheeks. How ridiculous ! Stanley Heath was simply a stranger of a night, he was nothing to her. Well indeed was it, too, that he was not! During her hours of sleeplessness the ardor of her faith in him had, to a degree, cooled. True, she still main tained her belief in his Innocence ; but that belief, she now realized, was only a blind unfounded intuition. Both the circumstances and sober second thought failed to back it up. The man's impatience to be gone, his/ complete silence with regard to ther jewels, al though perfectly Justifiable, did not strengthen it. / Marcla conceded^e had every right to keep his affairs to himself. Had he started to confide his secret to her, she would have held up her hand to stay him. It was the fact that through the dim hours of the night, whllS she sat at hlfl elbow trying to make the dis comforts he suffered more bearable, he talked of almost everything else but the thing uppermost in both their minds. That was what hurt She did not want to know. She wanted to be trusted; to help; to feel his depend ence upon her. Instead he held her at arm's length. v He spoke with appreciation of the crew who had dragged his boat off the sand-bar, appearing to consider them tremendously kind ? as undoubtedly they were 1 Still, they had not begun to come into the close contact with him that she had. Marcla caught herself up with a round turn. Here she was being sensi tive, womanish. How detestable I Why should Stanley Heath pour out his soul to her? She had never laid eyes on him until yesterday. In a day or two he would be gone never again to come into her life. She was glad of it. It was better so. This decision reached, she drew In her chin, lifted her head a wee bit and began to got the breakfast. Even Doctor Stetson's arrival and his subsequent verdict that the patient had bronchitis and would tako his life in his hands should he leave his bed, afforded her only scant satisfaction. So she was to keep Stanley Heath un<ter her roof after all ? but against his will. It wns not a very flattering Situation. She sent Sylvia up with his roffee and toost, nnd began her usual round of morning duties. And then Just as they were finished and the clock was striking eleven, ho called. She went bp, cheerful but with her head still held high, and paused on the threshold. fllnnclng at her he smiled. "You look like a bird about to tnko flight. Won't you sit down?" She went noarer. Nevertheless she did not take the choir he indicated. "I see you are busy," ho said. "I thought perhaps your housework might be done by this time and you might have a moment to spare. Well, I mustn't interrupt. Forgive mo for calling." "I haven't a thing In the world to do," Marcla burst out. "flood I Then you can stay a little while," he coaxed. "Now answer this question truthfully, plense. You heard what Doctor Stetson sold about my returning to New York today. I don't want to he pig headed and take a risk If It Is Imprudent; that Is neither fair to others nor to myself. Still, It Is Important that I go and I am'anxlous to. What Is your advice?" MI think you are too 111* A frown of annoyance wrinkled his forehead. "Perhaps you're right. Yet for all that I am disappointed. I wank very wuch to It la necessary.* J ' I Q?s!?h "Letters, telegrams-whatever yon: with. I can telephone or telegraph anywhere. Or I cab (write.** Surprise stole ove* bis face, then deepened to admiration. "You would do tbit for me ? blind folded!- i;' ;'?? * . . "Why not? I simply want to help. I always like to belf^when I can." "Even when you ?*; do not under stand?" ' '??? /A; Piercingly his eyes rested on her face. ? I ? do not need,1 to understand," was her proud- retort. For the fraction of a second their glances met. When he spoke his voice was low? imperative. ? "Marcla ? come here!" She went ? she knew not why. "Give me your band." Again, half-trembling, half reluctant, she obeyed. He took It in his and bending kissed It "I will stay and you shall telegraph," was all he said. She sprang to fetch paper and pen cil, as if welcoming th|a break in the tension. "I'm afraid I cannot write plainly enough with my left hand," he said. "Will you take down the message?" "Certainly." "Mrs. S. C. Heath." Her pencil, so firm only an instant before, quivered. "Have you that?" "Yes." "The Blltmore, New York City.** "Yes." "Everything Bafe with me. Do not worry. Marooned on Cape Cod with cold. Nothing serious. Home soon. Love. Stanley." "Got that?" "Yes." Had something gone out of her voice? The monosyllable was flat, colorless. Heath looked at her. Even her expression was different ? or did he merely imagine it? "Perhaps I would better Just glance over the message before you send It ? simply to make sure It's right." "Let me copy it first," she objected. "Copy it? Nonsense! What for? Nobody's going to see It." He reached for the paper. Still she withheld It. "What's the trouble?" "It isn't written well enough. I'd rather copy it" "Why?" "It's wobbly. I ? I ? perhaps my hands were cold." "You're not chilly?" "No ? oh, no." "If the room Is oool you mustn't stay here." "It Isn't I'm not cold at all." "Will you let me take the telegram?" She placed it in his hand. "It is shaky. However, that's of no consequence, since you are to 'phone Western Union. Now, If you truly are not cold, I'd like to dictate a sec ond wire." "All right" "This one is for Currier," he said. "Mr. James Currier, The Biltmore, New York City. Safe on Cape with My Lady. Shall return with her later. Motor here at once, bringing whatever I need for indefinite stay. "Stanley a Heath." "Got that?" "O. K.," nodded Marcla. This time, without hesitation, she passed him the paper. "This, I see, is your normal hand writing," he commented as he placed the messages Bide by side. Taking up the sheets, he studied them with Interest "Hadn't I better go and get ofT the messages?" suggested Marcla, rising nervously. "The station might be closed. Often it la, at noontime." "It doesn't matter If they don't go until afternoon." ? "But there might be some slip." He glanced at her with his keen eyes. "What's the matter?" "Matter?" "Yes, with you? All of a sudden you've turned easterly." "Have I?" Lightly, she laughed. "I probably have caught the habit from the sea. Environment does Influence character, psychologists say." "Nevertheless, you are not fickle." "How do you know? You know an amazing amount about me, seems to me, considering the length of our ac quaintance," she observed with a tan talising smile. "I do," whs the grim retort "I know more than you think ? more, perhaps than you know yourself. Shall I hold the betraying mirror up before you?" "The mirror of truth? God forbid! Who of us would dare face It?" she protested, still smiling but with gen uine alarm. "Now d . let me run along and send off the messages. I must not loiter here talking. You are forgetting that you're 111. The next you know your temporature will go up and Doc tor Stetson will blame me." "My temperature has gone up," growled Stanley Heath, turning his back on her and burying his face In the pillow with the touchiness of a small boy, Sylvln, meanwhile, had heard Stanley Heath call Marcla and hailed her aunt's departure from the kitchen as the opportunity for which she had so anxiously been waiting. No sooner was the elder woman up stairs and out of earshot than ft he tip toed from her room, the monogrammed handkerchief In her pocket. She had pried out the brick and had the Jewel-case In her hand, wrapped and ready for Its return when conver sation overhead suddenly ceased and she heard Marcla pass through the ball and start down stairs. Sylvia gasped. There was no chance to put the package back and replace tSZWpSiS. 1orI?5 Wck the yawn in the hearth as best she fled up the back stairs at thj/ront <???*?

Z\7ZSyM* t0"k 0U, She clasped the diamonds about her neck ; fastened the emerald brooch In 00 the 8aPPbire pendant; then added the rings and looked at her self In the gold-framed mirror. .What she saw reflected dazzled her. Who would have believed Jewels could make such a difference In one's ap pearance? They get off her blond form?! 8he Was 8uddenly trans formed Into a princess. Slowly, and with conscious coquetry hp?V^reen,ng b,rd' 8hG turned her head this way and that, delighting m the creamlness of the neck the gems encircled, and in the fairness of her golden curls. She really ought to have Jewels She was born for them and could carry them off. There weue myriad women toe world on whom such adornment would be wasted? good and worthy women, too. Then a voice Interrupted her reverie ft was Stanley Heath calling. She heard Marcla reply and come hurrying upstairs. Guiltily Sylvia took off her sparkling regalia ; tumbled it unceremoniously Into Its case; and slipped It Into the drawer underneath a pile of night dresses. Then she softly unlocked the door and sauntered out. It was none too soon, for Marcla was speaking to her. "Sylvia?" "Yes." "How would you feel about going over to the village for the mall and to do some errands? The tide la out and you could walk. Prince needs a run." I d love to go." "That's line. Here is a list of things we need at the store. You're sure you don't mind going?" "No, Indeed. I shall enjoy being out. , Then suddenly Sylvia had an Inspira tion which she Instantly acted upon. "Why don't you go?" she inquired. You dldu't sleep much last night, and a walk might do you good." "Oh, I couldn't," objected Marcla with haste. "I've a hundred and one things to do. Thanks, Just the same.' "Well, you know your own business best. Is this the list?" "Yes. There are quite a few items, but they won't be heavy. Here Is the basket. Prince will carry it. That Is his Job and very proud he Is of doing It. Good-by, dear." "She's dreadfully anxious to get us out of the way, Isn't she, Prince?" commented young Sylvia as she and the setter started out over the sand. "Now what do you suppose she hat on her mind? She's up to something. Marcla Isn't a bit of an actress. She's too genuine." Marcla. standing at the window watching the girl, would have been as tonished enough had she heard this astute obnervatlon. She did want Sylvia out of the way. The girl had read her correctly. She must telephone the messages to the stationmaster at Sawyer Palls, the adjoining town where the railroad endfed and the nearest telegraph sta tion was. She got the line and had no sooner dictated ithe telegrams than she heard Heath's ' voice. During the interval that had elapsed since she had left him, both of them had experienced a reaction and each wns eagir to make amends. Marcla regretted her flippancy. It had beed childish of her to give way to pique j and punlBh Heath simply be cause It i was proved he had a wife. Why shduld he not be married? No doubt the absent Mrs. Stanley Heath was a 'dashing, sophisticated beauty, too, who lived in luxury at' the great city hotsl to which the first wire had been sent. Heath had been quite frank about the message and Its destination. On think ing matterH over, It occurred to Marcla he might have considered this the easiest way to Inform her of things he found It embarrassing to put Into words. And she? Instead of appreciating his honesty, chivalry, gentlemanly conduct as she should have done, and receiving It gn clously, surprise had betrayed her Into displaying resentment. She was heartily ashamed of herself. No matter how much it humbled her pride, she must put things right. For Innately it was not too late to do so. (TO HF.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. ? Romans 14:11. PRIMARY TOPIC ? A Prophet En oou rages His People. JTJNIOR TOPIC ? A Watchman on Duty. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ? Does Ood Care What 1 Dot TOTJNQ PEOPLE AND ADUL/T TOPIO? Individuals Accountable to Qod. Ezeklel prophesied In the land of the captivity. The purpose of his min istry was threefold: (1) To show the house of Israel that they were In cap tivity because of their sins (14:23). (2) To show that God Is righteous In his visitation of Judgment upon them (7:8. 0). (3) To sustain their faith by assuring them of their national restor ation, the punishment of their enemies tnd their final exaltation among the nations when Messiah shall reign. I. Qod's Sovereign Right to the Soul* of Men (18:1-4). Every man Is personally responsible to God. II. Tho Moral Obligation of 8ons to Their Father (Ezek. 18:14-20). While the law of heredity gives the child a sinful nature and when the child arrives at the age of moral re sponsibility It begins to sin, God holds such responsible for their deeds. III. Ezaklel's Responsibility (Ezek. 83:1-0). As a prophet of God certain respon sibilities were Imposed upon him. There is a sense In which every dis ciple of Christ Is a witness for him and therefore Is responsible for the giving of his testimony to sinners. His responsibility is set forth under the figure of a watchman. Two things were required of a watchman. 1. To hear the words of God's mouth (*. 7), The source of the message of every minister and Sunday School teacher Is God's holy Word. Just as the prophet did not originate his mes sage but received It of God'B mouth, so It should be with every minister and Sunday School teacher. 2. To sound the warning (v. 7). Af ter hearing God's message he was to speak It out and proclaim It to the people. A watchman today Is both to hear and to speak. The people are to be warned of the Impending danger. Failure to sound the alarm makes the watchman guilty of the blood of the sinner. IV. Qod'e Attitude Toward the din ner (vv. 10, 11). God has declared In his Word that unfaithfulness on the part of his peo ple would cause them to "perish among the heathen," that they would "pine away in their Iniquity" (Lot. 26:88, 89). In view of this pronouncement some are disposed to say that their case Is hopeless. To meet this attitude of despair the prophet assured them that God had no pleasure In the death of the wicked, but that his sincere de sire was for the wicked to turn from their way and live. Regardless of what their past had been, they were given the assurance that the future was bright If they heeded God's com mand and plea. No one need to despair because of Bin, for God's grace Is great er than human sin. V. The 8lnner's Personal Responsi bility (vv. 12-20). God created the members of the race personal beings, giving them freedom of choice. They have moral discern ment enabling them to distinguish be tween the right and the wrong. They choose, therefore, according to tbe quality of their being. The following principles govern the Blnner : 1. Past righteousness will not avail for present sins (v. 12). When n righteous mnn turns to Iniquity, his past seeming righteousness will be of no avnll. 2, Past sins do not make Impossible present acceptance with Ood (vv. 12-15). By virtue of the operation of the law of habit, every sinful act mnkes It harder for the sinner to re pent, but^God's grace is such that If the sinner repents God will forgive and restore. 8. Restitution required (vv. 15, ift). Tho proof of penitence Is that, no far as possible, the sinner mnkes amends for wrongs done. 4. God's ways are equal (vv. 17-20). God holds man responsible for his own deeds. The child Is not condemned because of tho deeds of his father, nor can It bo said that the fathers have eaten sour grape* and the chil dren's teeth are set on edge. This does not do away with the law of heredity. Regardless of what one's past life has been, God's grace In Jesus Christ blots out hi* record and he stands accepted In the Beloved.
