A WOMAN AGAIN B> JEAN ELCINBROD The rush of the day's work wu nearly over In the telephone offl.ce Jeanelte Whipple, trunk operator, fac ing the clock, taw that In a little leas than two hours her time would be up. 8ae wondered If Htchard were watch lig the clock aa Impatiently as ahe 8?cb a long, long tliue to six o'clock and the happy walk home. She glanced oyer at the local board. Tho local girls were always busy. Their bands flew as they connected line after line. The drops fell quick er than they could answer them. The chief operator (No. 25 offlcla|,l), was working back of the board on tb# j Hayes. The monitor walkod up a*d down, up and down, baok of the glrw, who hated her nearly as much as they did their chief. She had been 16 years 'to the business ? and showed it. Bbe waa reported to have a soft spot to <ber heart /or the young, curly-beadu^ aa hUtant chief operator at the deek. Tho messenger boys called him the fellow with the "pretty blue hair." The girls caUed him "twelT^and-a half," being assistant to No. 36. Jeanette laughed to heraelf as she thought of it. Then she turned' down a jack to aee if No. 270 were still talking to Rldgeton. Captain Heury's big voice boomed in her ear, and she caught a aentence. old. been foreman of the Elestrlo "?tall and dark, about 30 years old, been foreman of the eiectrlo company six years." Mechanically she turned up the j nek Then, as ?he realised what she had heard sho llatenod again. Why. Richard was foremau of the Klectrlc company. What could hrtve happened! "Oh, Lathrop'll die. There hi no chance. Eton't know Juet how It hap pened yet. Nash has always borne a good name, though there has been bad blood between him and Lathrop a long time, I hear. Have your men watch sharp. If he did go on that four o'clock I'll head It off^ at^ Satufr^ It gets there about 4:30. If he got c at Rldgeton, which I doubt, he can t have gone far yet. I think he will keep on toward the west. Got it all? ? 6 feet 11, dark, smooth face, well built, brown suit, black derby all right. Goodby." 270 rang off. Jeanette took the connection down and leaned back in her chair. The bulletins on the board swayed up and down with a horrible, sickening ac tion. The noise of falling plugs grew faint. The hum of voices died Into sllcnce. The board seemed an im measurable distance away. Then, slowly her brain cleared. She had no trouble in realizing now what it all meant. Richard Nash, her Richard Nash, had killed I^athrop. His face came up before her, clear cut as a cameo, the wise, tender face, the frank, steady eyes. Why. every one had hated I^athrop, but Richard. He had only laughed at him. It could not be true. Some one was playing a Joke on her. She lookod swiftly down the long line of girls. All were working, still and sober. The monitor paced slowly, back and forth. No. 12^ was writing out trouble reports. A drop fell. It was 270. She took it before the recording operator could reach It, and plugged In on the line. Her voice Bounded strange to her as she spoke. "Toll line." "Give me police station. Saturne4 Captain Briggs to the telephone. And right away quick, too, central. She made out the ticket slowly. Her fingers were stlfT and cold. Sho felt numbed all over except her brain. That seemed on Are. She looked down at the small diamond on her left hand. Whether It were true, or not, he was Richard? yes? and she loved him. . If Rldgeton had not been able to get a man down to the train In time to search it. aftor getting Captain Henry's message, there was a small chance for his escape? perhaps she could make It a bigger one. if ho were really on that train, as they thought. Could she keep 270 from getting Saturne before the train passed there, n whole half hour yet? New York was probably his goal. II she could keep the train from being searched before it reached New \ ork he might escape west, or across the water. . \V?s he thinking of their walk home at the end of the day, now. she won dered, remorse and fear fighting within him. Or had he had no time to think of her yet? 270 was calling again. "Can't you get Saturne, Central? What Is the matter?" , "Wire is busy. I will call you," she answered clearly. It was only quar ter of Ave now. She cast a furtive look at tho mon itor who was coming toward her. She answered two other calls, and made quick connections. The monitor glanced at her board, then walkod slowly away again. Time Boomed to stand still. 4:57 '1:58 . 270 called again. Captain Henry's voice boded trou ble for somebody. - "Why ecn't 1 have Saturne? I must have them before 4 50." v . Jeanette nlmost laughed. Her blood was up now. 270 must have ? Cap tain Henry said w>. 270 must not have ? Jeanette Whipple said aa Which -would win? aim buaj L 1 will call you." she ssld Csptsln Henry fumed. Jeanette lift tened In silence. Then he ?lammed ?up hi* telephone. She watched the clock end waited. 4: #6? she drew a long breath, and passed the call. Id m few momenta titer were talking Captain Henry gave the same de talis that be had gtven to Jlldgeton, gave them like a flaaft. Then having evidently learned wlsdcftn, he paaaed calls to Lakevllfe. New Burn and New York at the eame ttaie. Jeanette had not thought he would do that. The train did not get Into New York until nearly alt o'clock. Dared ahe delay that call to long a timer She took the calla alowly, making him repeat several timet, until bla voice waa like a oannon roar with anger. Them ahe eet her teeth, folded her arma, and waited. Once ^>e made a feint of receiving reporta on the calls and after giving the bogus In formation courteously to Captain Hen ry recorded It oa the back of the tick ets. 6:00 N. C. (no circuit). 1:10 By (busy). The girl beside her was watch log 1 her. eurlously. How queer Jeanette Whipple was looking. ? The Aght was oa. 170 called every other breath. ' Jeanette tried to keep him good j natured. If be stmuld call No. 25 and oomplaln, an Investigation would quickly settle everything. She would be sent away on the spot. Every min ute's delay meant hope, perhaps* life. The Intense strain was telling oa j her. She tried to hold herself still snd calm that she might think clear ly. She began to realise the terrible thing that had happened. The agony of it sank in slowly. Perhaps she would wake up suddenly and And that ahe had been dreaming. But 270 waa grim reality. Ha was calling again. Then for enter an hpur she stub bornly fought every inch of the way. Captain Henry was a big man and a smart one, but he oould not manage something he did not understand. He had been obliged to wait for busy wires before this. It was nothing new nor surprising. He never even dreamed that this peculiar combina tion of busy wires, with other tech nical terms that sounded perfectly proper, even familiar, was due to a slip of a g!r!, ens-quarter ulu 1 u the central telephone office just four blocks up the street. The numbers danced before her tired eyes. Her face was hot with the excitement. But when six o'clock came she had just put up the connection between 270 and New York. She had won. She stumbled out of her chair. She was so rigid Bhe could scarcely move. She put on her hat and cloak with stiff fingers. The girls seemed to shun her, or was It her fancy? They must know It, too. Every one must know It. Why, the world was full /ot It. Richard was a murderer, flying for his life, and yet, so strange and un true It seemed- that, even as she said It, sho waited at the street door a minute for his familiar figure. Then she started "home alone. Oh, to know ho w-as~ safe, to know where he was! She caught her breath sharply and hurried on. It had evidently been raining. The dark was coming early. The mist clung to her skirts and dampened her hair. The electric light flickered on little pools of wind-swept water In the road. Susan met her at the door, her kind, sisterly face placid and smiling. Then she started. "Why, Jeanette. dear, what has happened?" But Jeanette could not speak. Some thing was beating In her throat like a mad thing. She brushed past her and wont in. Susan did not shut the door. Jeanette heard her saying, "Have you two been quarreling?" Who was Susan talking to? A man's voice answered. ? "It does look like It," he said. "She has been over a block ahead of mo all the way, going like a race horse." "Richard !" She turned back to the door and tried to call his name, but It was only a gasp. Then he caught her. "Sweetheart, has some one been frightening you? Why, Jeanette ? Why. Jeanette!" With a groat effort she struggled out of the darkness that threatened to engulf her. "The murder, Richard, you ? " lie lifted her up Into his arms andL carrying her in, pat down in the big, old-fashioned rocker with her. "There, there, child It's all right, Jeanette. Nash ^arnsworth ahot Lathrop. but he is not going to die, though they thought he was at first. Did you get it wrong? It was mixed at first. In the excitement. Did they tell you It was Richard Nash who did It? His first name being my last one, and description being rather alike did make a little bother. He got away,. I guoss. I Imagine he got that four o'clock train. Why, little girl, you could not think It was I who shot him. could you?" And In the hush, while Susan got supper, and the light from the Are played on the walls, the rooking chair swayed gently with Its burden,* while she told him how she had play ed the part of Pat? to a man she never saw. v m After she was quite herself again he ' looked at her solemnly and shook his head. "It's Just as fie poets and phtlbe* phers always ten us," he said. "A big door hangs on a little hinge. It takes a woman to fool a man, every time; and to 'save one, tno, Qod bless *her, I even it It did not' happen to be m%" .r WHICH DAY 18 *ABBAtTHT Mark li, 23 ? i.i. A?April 14. Trrl . "The Babbitt k t?a$ mwJe for mat*. au4 mot m*n for the Hmbbaih." ~ Mark H, tl. CHAT the Bible teaches aorne Important teaaou respecting the Sabbath la undisputed, but what tbat lesson la la much disputed. The fourth commandment of the Dialogue refera to the aeventh day and requires IU observance as a day of rest, aud no more. The Ten Commandments as a whole were the basis of the Uw Covenaut. compul aAry upou every Jew. 'ilbe Jew keep ing all of those coinmandmenta was promised everlasting life. Failure to keep them all condemned him a/resh. There cau be no doubt oa this point However, In our Lord'a time. Jewish religionists had become to a consider able degree formalist* and greater atreaa waa laid upon the literal com mandments than on tbeir real spir it. Jesus reprov ed this on several occasions. N o command ment was given by JeauH or the Apostles to tbe Church respecting the Sabbath day. The early Church evidently did ob serve the Jewish seventh day la "Tho Habbuth teat made for man." many places, and lu some places the first duy of the week, the Anniversary of our Lord's resurrection; and some times they observed both of (bese days. But their observance was not that of law or command, for the Apos tle wrote, "Ye are not under Law, but under grace." ?.* So with us today. We are glad that one day in the week is so generally observed ah a day of rest, a Sabbath (Sabbath duy signifies rest day). We are glad that the^day so generally set apart is the first day of the week, be cause !t so beautifully commemorate" the Christian's hopes, attested^ by our Lord's resurrection from the dead. To the Christian, every day Is Sab bath, every day should be used as holy to the Lord, and nothing should at any time be done contrary to the Divine will or the principles of the Divine Government Jesus' declaration that He was Lord of the SAbbath reminds us afresh of St. Paul's declaration that God the Father rested from His own work on the Seventh Day! lie left the work entirely for Jesus to do. The Seventh Duy of Jehovah's rest was one of the great Days of the creative Week, each seven thousand years long. Six of these great Days had passed and man's creation was In the end of the sixth. Having established His human son in Eden as the god or ruler of the earth. Jehovah rested or ceased from Ills work during the Seventh Day, or seventh period of seven thousand years. . Six thousand years of this sev enth period have already passed and Jehovah God hi\s rested, ceased from His work? He has not interfered to assist man or lift him out of sin and degradation. Another thousand years of the seven remains, but God will not actively engage in man's rescue even then. Why uot? Because it is a part of the Divine Program to leave fallen man and his rescue entirely in the hands of Jesus. He is Lord of this Great Seventh Day. Man's Seventh Day. This entire period of seven thou eund years which constitutes the great Seventh Day or Sabbath with God is divided with man into seven great Days of a thousand years each, in six of which he has been under a reign of sin and death, toil and suf fering; but the Seventh, or Sabbath, of a thousand years, has been appoint ed for his rescue and uplifting and blessing. lu that glorious Seventh thousand year period Jesus is to be Lord. It will be the great Antitypical Sabbath, and the great Antitypical Jubilee for mankind. The Church's Sabbath Day. St. Paul clearly intimates that to the Church, the New Creation, every day is a Sabbath day, in the sense that God's consecrated people rest as God rests. In faith, in hope, in trust that Jesus will eventu ally deliver them, and bring them into a glorious Sabbath Rest. Yet even now, as St. Paul says, "We who believe* do en ter into rest." Lit erally, wfl who be "la it lawful to heal on th* Sabbath dayt" lieve have a perpetual Sabbath. Seven days in the week, and fifty-two weeks in the year our hearts rest in the Lord and take comfort in the glorious prom ise* of Bis Word through faith. Thus we rest from feelings of responsibility and worry ^on account of the world's salvation in exactly the same way that the Heavenly Father rests. Warlike the Heavenly Father, have the fullest confidence that the Re deemer will yet accomplish the bless Ins of all the families of the earth, and bring all the willing and obedient into the great Rest Time of the future the thousand yen <?? : of , the Messianic : Kingdom, In "which the tvorld will N released from the slavery of Satan, sis j OFFERS THIS WEEK Woe-Tai Tea, a combination of several of the highest grades at 60c per pound, ft. 3 a pound today.
