SYNOPSIS PART ONE CHAPTER I.—At a merry party in the atudlo apartment of Carter Blake, in New York, Jerry Harmer, Prudence's daughter, meets Duane Allerton, wealthy Idler. He becomes slightly In toxicated, and Jerry, resenting his as sumption of familiarity, leaves the party abruptly. CHAPTER II.—The story turns to Jerry's childhood and youth at Jier home In De» Moines. Only child of a wealthy father, when shd Is twenty she feels the call of Art, and her parents, with some misgivings, agree to her go ing to New York to study. (CONTINUED FROM LASt WEEK) ~ **It TsnVthftf T regent your"autiior- Ity, not in the least/’ she assured them^ “But I want to be thrown on niy own, you know—I want to be ^ree.” She crossed the room to the goldeh cage where a golden canary sang blithely In the sunshine. She opened the door. Upon the Instant the bird leaped out Into to brightness of the room, and circled once about It, with a brave flashing of its yellow wings. “Like that,” Jerry said. “He wants to be free.” The bird flew contentedly back Into its golden cage. Then Jerrold, the father of .Terry, walked slowly across to the cage, his hand outstretched to close the tiny door. But before he could lay- his Anger upon It the flashing hit of gold leaped out Into the brightness of the room, and then back at once into the familiar conflnes of the cage, still with his sharp eyes on Jerrold’s hand, to make a dash'tor freedom at his slight est movement toward that door. Again and again he reached toward It, »nd •ach time the bird leaped out tv fro* dum. And each time returned quickly to the spacious, cage, “h isn’t freedom Itself that he wants,” said Jerry’s father gravely. “He doesn’t know what freedom Is. He likes the cage much better than the open spaces, but he hates that closed door. He Is glad to come hack to the cage, but he wants to think he is free. Is it the same with you, JerryT“ < — “You can be free here, Jerry, if that’s all you want,” Prudence put In quickly. "Do what you wish, go where you wish, think what—" Jerry shook her lovely head, smiling. "Perhaps you do not do it on pur pose,” she said. "But you are a closed door, mother, and you can’t help It. Prudence either by name or nature Is • restraint—no fault of yours, you understand.” Jerry was vastly pleased with her decision to study art. Art seemed of all things Iq the world the most glam orous avenue to life. She hud always taken a pleasant interest In pictures, and In college ' had been quite a fa vorite In the grt department, where her work both In water colors and In oils, with somewhat of Judicious over sight by a friendly Instructor in the department, had received warm praise. Perhaps, however, she was a little troubled in the secret places of her own heart, for she reverted to the sub ject many times ever} 1- day, although It was already fully settled she should go. “One. has to do something, you know,” she said. “One Isn’t born Just for the sake of living and dying and getting It over with. One has to do. something!” “Of course!” Prudence was very positive In her agreement. “Give you a Job In the plant any time you say," her father offered quickly, who as president of one of the largest motor corporations In the Middle West was In a position to in dulge In such largess If he chose. “You don’t understand, father," sh% said patiently. “Taking a Job from • good worker who needs it to give to a poor one who does not need It, will never solve any labor questions. It isn't a matter of physical labor* you know. It's adding to the general rich ness of the world—It's putting somo- thing of yourself Into circulation." “Don't got yon.” Jerrold was frank ly pussled. *1—1 think I know what you mean,” Prudence said pleasantly. “Oh, no, yon don't, mother, 1 * Jerry contradicted promptly, with laughing, tender eyee—not rudely. Jerry was obliged to. contradict her mother many, many times, bnt it was always with laughing tendemaaa that she did. “You just aay so because yon think It to your duty, having me for a daughter, to try to account tot my fooUshneaa.” Prudence blushed. T derly. “You’re Just siding with ms to make father, ashamed of himself, ’on think It makes me less ridiculous when you agree with me." t Pfttdeii&e blushed- again. Prudence, at forty^four, * with a daughter twenty years old, was but a deepens*!, sweetened,^ softened mold ing of the Prudenqy wbxLat nineteen had taken such pay and charge of the parsonage, houseful of younger girls, gentle father. So slender she was now as to appear almost frail, and sne was very pole, with but the slight-' est hint of rose In her lips, the lips that had (the old whimsical, humorous droop of her girlhood days. In spite of the delicate frailty of her face and ngure, and the pallor of her creamy skin, Prudence did not look her years, nor did her appearance in any way suggest *the dignity of a growh-up daughter to her credit, even with the humorous depth of understanding and the warmth of sympathy that showed In every word and gesture! Pyudence at any age would be ageless,-eW and young, with the youth that has seen both heights and depths, and trembled with great emotions, the age that de fies time with a dauntless bravado and a glad acceptance. To Prudence sometimes, looking backward, It seemed a long way shs had come from the cares and the re sponsibilities of that simple parsonage life. Times had changed, conditions, interests had changed. It seemed to Prudence that she alone remained steadfast and the same. ' Her father had died ten years before, and after that Aunt (irace. with Carol and Car ol’s baby, continued on In the horns they had chosen In Mount Mark, re maining there to be near Lark and Jim, on their rich, far-rea^hlng farm. Aunt Grace had'Hngered hut a few years longer, and then slipped on into the shadows, having left the full ol her modest means to Carol, thevpnlj one of the parsonage girls to be left alone and without resources. Fairy and Gene, the college lover who be came her husband, had suffered a long series of financial reverses In their effort to forge to the front, but finally, after so many years, were comfortably settled In Chlcsgo, seeming at last te have exhausted trfelr store of 111 for tune. . . *" i The rrmngest stance. frowning, with' questioning eyes. When she was alone Vflth her rathSTf’ she said confidentially : —, • -'Td betteiNjceep my eye on mother. She's had too much experience. After bringing up that whole crowd In the parsonage, how can one lone daughter hope to he a match for her? I seem to be getting my owns way, but I think masterful i she’s working me, Jor all that/ and the and Tier her note, as she was very The. letter from Rlioda La Faye, In response to Jerry’s query, was warmly satisfying In every particular. She said she. would be only too happy to meet Jerry, to assist her in every pos sible way, and happily she knew Just the idace for her ; right down in Green wich Village on Reilly’s alley ’ with Mlml Delaney, a particular friend of Rhoda's own, who was letting rooms to students. She premised to meet Jerry at the station, add^th be entire ly her slave and handmaiden until she was properly domiciled In the big city. And begged her please to excuse the haste of busy. Jerrold was not plegsed—he did not like the idea of the village, he disap proved of Rhoda La Faye, he thought Jerry’s plan to study art was “all piffle.” And when he was alone with Prudence at night, an*) grieving over her restlessness, her sleepless hours, he expressed himself very forcibly on the subject of daughters. . ^ “It’s selfishness," he said, Jerry’* place Is here with you. She has no business going off to New York or any place else. A daughter’s place Is with her mothert" “Why, Jerrold? Why should we ex pect her to live our life, Just ,because she is our daughter?” “Why? Because she Is our daugh ter, that’s why! IHdn’t we bring, Rm, Into the world? Didn’t we raise her? Didp’t—" ’ 1 “Yes, but we did It to please our selves, didn’t we? Jerry certainly didn’t have much to say about it?” “A child.” he said didactically, “owes its parents everything In the world, owes It—’ “Love,” said Prudence softly. “Just love. Nothing else. And that’s enough, Jerrold, If we’ve done our part.” % The great. I6vely hquae was vastly confused In those days, with the pack ing of Jerry's clothes and boogs and the thousand pretty, intimate things a young student of art would be sure to want In a strange, big city. And there were dressmakers thrumming steadily away on their machines, turn ing out new gowns, new suits, new wraps, for Jerry to wear in her pur suit of Art. “Urn. I think you’d hotter draw It in more about the hips.” Jerry's criti cal young voice floated out to her father, where he sat staring at the newspaper-that he did not see. They were going to miss Jerry! After col lege, he had thought it was all over, that Jerry's future 'was ended with her education, and they jvere all to settle down to the joy of home, and having a daughter In It. Jerrold sighed. ‘ ~ " “Yes, a little more, don't you think, mother? I really arf) rather properly built, you know, and I’ve no reason IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONA <By RBV.

Jenvld was consoling himself with the knowledge that this level-headed and serene young auntie, supported by an imperturbable husband, would be at hand to see to willful Jerry on her nrrlviri ip the terrible city. “We ii^ust write to Connie at once,” he said cbrnphicentlj. Jerry was quick to protest. “Now, father, please! Is that your Idea of t0 b * ashamed of It. Is that better, freedom? Why, If I go to Englewood j to settle down with Aunt Connie I 1 mast go to Now York to itudy art 1 *T never agreed to any. such thing," ■aid Jerrold flatly. *1—1 did,” said Prudence weakly. Jerry laughed softly at her toother. "Ift* didst. tRhfr." denlgd-ten- mlght as well move Into a parsonage and be dohe with it! Freedom! Of course I shalk visit them very often, but I shall not Ttvo with them, by any means. And 1 think we’d better not tell her I am comlhg until I am all nicely settled and running on my own. Then she can’t talk me out of It, and all those Starr girls are knch good talkers.” To Jerrold’s surprise, Prudence agree*! to this drastic inhibition. "I mui^ be Independent, you see,” Jerry explained^ —■ “Of course," assented Prudence. “I think I shall write to Rhoda La Faye, and ask her to get me a little studio apartment near her.” “Rhoda — Rhoda La I^aye — who’* that?" Jerrold wanted toknow. <d‘Oh, she’s a girl 1 knew In college." “Rhoda— See here, Jerry, you don't mean the girl who—” “Rhoda was a very nice girl If she was expelled,” Jerry said. “She—she was a little too—well, emancipated for Iowa, perhaps, but there was nothing In the least had about her. She was a very talented girl, and now she has a studio In New York, and has Illus trations in the very best magazines, and everything. She cun help me a great deal, I should Imagine.” “Well, I am certainly not In favor—" Jerrold had assumed his most pa*er» nally dictatorial voice. "I am,” Interrupted Prudence quick ly. “I am most heartily In favor of It. Rhoda was not at all an evil-minded person, Just mischievous, a* I remem ber It, and her experience will be of great value to Jerry." “What was she fired for, anyhow?” Jerrold wanted to know, moodily, feel- In the handicap of hla position bo- tween the two of them. "Oh, a perfectly ridiculous thing,” explained Jerry lightly. .. “She did some illustrations In the college mag azine, and they were a little—, advanced, you might My, and Rhoda Mid they ‘were artistic, and she wouldn’t apologise, and a few other things UkO that. But, father, no one could aay Rhoda La Faye was not n gening!” ^ - “And of course,” Prudence went on, aa s though it were all her own idea , AnwhA _ thmt 10 b *^ n w,th * “ no one c °uld expect like that to plod along here In Iowa like the ordinary daughters of farmers •nd ministers ahd merchants!

I am,” assented Jerry absent ly. “But mother and I know, whether you do or not, that the more yoa know about men the faster you pro gress in art.” “Yes, of course," said Prudence. That night, when Jerry had gono Upstairs, Prudence sat on the arm of her husband's chair, slipping lower and lower beside him, until her face was buried against his shoulder. \V;Well, you were nil for- her going,- so I suppose It’s settled," he said dully. / , "Yes^Jt’s settled.”. Prudence’s voice was muffled, “Well, yoh want her to go, ’don't you?” X “Yes, of course, I want her to go." There was a sob In Prudence’s throat. “Well, then I supWse you’re sat isfied." X ■* “Y-yes, I’m satisfied.” ^prudence’s shoulders rose and fell, heavHIv, and she pressed her face more deeply against his shoulder. Then Jerrold drew her quickly ahout on his knees, until she was huddled In his arms, heart-broken, sobbing, like a child, although a woman past forty with a grownup daughter going away. , ■ — “Don’t cry, Prudence,” he said, hold ing her very close to him, his own eyes wet. Presently she lifted her face, stained wkh tears, and laughed at h$r fool ishness. and patted away her tears with a filmy bit of lace and soft linen ridiculously serving as a handkerchief. After that there was nothing for Jerrold to do bnt procure the tickets for Jerry, look after the checking of her baggage, and aee that she had money enough for her needs. And nothing for Prudence to do^but take her daughter in her anna—and let her go. (TO BE CONTINUED ) Le»»on for August 16 temperancs lesson LK88ON TEXT—Gal.

Having shown In chapters S and 4 of this epistle that thp believer to free from the law as a means of jms- 'tiflcatlon, Paul makes practical appIL cation of this tfoctjSbe. I. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15). I. It is Nof'^to Occasion to the “Flesh” (v. 13). ^ Liberty is not license. Ylje notion that when one Is free from the. law he Is free from constraint. Is wickedly^ erroneous. License of the flesh means not merely the Indulgence of the flesh In actual material sins, bar In the ex pression of a self-centered life In'bit ing and devouring one another (vi 15). Bickering among Christians to an ex; jainple thereof. , Z By Love, Serving One -Another (▼. 18).

By the flesh- Is meant the* corrupt nature of . man expressing Itself in the realm of sense and self. The renewed man becomes two men between whom a mortal conflict to going on. The Cluistian must choose between good and evil. When he chooses theeevil, the Holy Spirit opposes, and when he chooses the good the flesh opposes. Notwithstanding this deadly conflict, victory is sure If one chooses the good. III. The Works of the Flesh (w. 19-21). By works of the flesh Is meant the operation of the carnal nature. The one who chooses to live a*wr<llng to the impulses apd desires of his natu ral heart will be practicing the foL lowing sins. 1. Sensuality (v. 19).
