But, Rhoda, how can yen work—" ~ “Who’s going to work? I told you yesterday I couldn’t work today. That’s why I finished the picture. Oh, such a head!” “Well, of all the silly things,” Jerry aald. In her most pompously Prudence voice. “Work all night or dance all night, or— It Id plain Intemperance, Rhoda. Tou ought to use a little Judg ment about things! No wonder yoy r re • wreck.” . Rhoda laughed feebly. “Now, Iowa,” she protested teaslngly. “There speaks the com-ted baby!" Then ahe added soberly: “Did you enjoy It, Jerry? Every one liked yon ao much. They thought jrou were perfectly lovely, al though discreet. Korxky said you were quite annoyed because he kissed you —at least he thought It was you. And Duane—” “I had a lovely tlms, thanks,” Jerry Interrupted. “It was the most amus ing thing I ever saw In my life.

With the third serving Jerry broke the silence. “Rhoda, who Is Francy? 1 haven't met her, Jiave IT' “Francy? Oh, you mean Francy England.

Don’t try TO know what Fm talking about, old Angel-face; the more you think about it the leas you’ll understand!”' • - • • e • ' It was the next morning when Jerry slipped softly upstairs with a break- fast-tray that Theresa, asked her dif fidently, almost apologetically, If she would care i to see a few of her “things." “Oh, I should love to,” Jerry cried, flushing with pleasure. Theresa was vaguely surprised, a little troubled, at her eagernefip. “If you wanted to see them, why didn’t you ask me?" “Oh, I couldn’t ssk, Theresa. I thought perhaps you’d rather not show me—I was Just hoping you would sug gest It some time.’’ ' For the first time In the weeks she had known Theresa, she really took time to do a thing quietly, deliberately and with comfortable easiness. She apent the full morning with Jerry,, showing her dozens of little sketches, unfinished bits of landscape, lovely heads, delicately draped figures with out r number, discussing' them mean while with an Impersonal, Judicious In terest that charined and fascinated Jerry. She tom bed upon their beauties at composition and execution generous ly, but without personal warmth. And ahe pointed out their defects with a keen eye and an unsparing tongue. And then she said: “I have saved my heat fill the laat, Jerry. This la my one passion, my darling and my adored.” ' It was typical of Theresa that she did not keep It on display, "her darling and adored,” but packed away with tender care In a dark closet, obviously the one thing In her life that received her tender care. Jerry almost held her breath as Theresa brought It out, re moved the protecting wrappers, and turned It shout for her to see. It v.;ub a cruel green ocean, lashing great waves Into white foam, an ocean of blackening shadows, and shifting lights. At first glance, Jerry saw only the turbulence of a multitude of wa ters, and then, looking deeper, stand ing out with sharp Im-islveness once she had discerned Its presence, riding the highest, wildest wsVe of all, stretched the slim white body- of a woman, triumphant white face up raised, dominant , white arms flung wide—a Joyous, Jubilant, fearless fig- * ure of youth, swept on the black wa ters, sprayed with the white. Jerry cried out, enraptured. 'Theresa ! Oh, Theresa ! It Is beau tiful I It la the most—thrilling—thing I ever s»w. It makes you feel so full of—freedom.” ; Theresa nodded, her dark eyes alight with pleasure. “Um, freedom. I’ve been working on it for .tears, • Jerry. A thousand or more. I think. I used to s|»end the summer on the coast ~ In Maine with my nurse—when I was a kid, you know. 1 adored the ocean. It Is the only reall? free—really re- lentleas thliii; I o\tr saw. It knows no law hut Its own. Oh, yes, I know what scieiitisia say about the moon, and the tides. No, no, what little moon riding the heavens could harness a fathomless ocean! I used to sit, like an ugly blackbird, on the highest rocks, j and adore the ocoun in a storm. A hundred times I went home drenched to the skin, soaked, but exalted with I rapture, to be soundly whipped for my I mischief, and put to bed In disgrace.” She paused, smiling at Jerry. “Go on, go on,” she begged feverish ly. “Tell me.” 4 “First, I suppose l,t was Just • per sonal emotion—1 wanted to ride the waves. 1 chafed at my bondage to solid, sordid earth. I thrilled myself to a rapture by fancying myself swept high on the topmost wave. And so be fore long—my thought a mother to the thing, I suppose—It really seemed to me I saw her, the Ocean Rider, a love ly, slim, white woman triumphant on the waves. I worshiped It. It was a I have only been able to when the passion is hot bound hand and root—to conventions —to conviction*—to Prudence.” “Yes. that Is what I mean.

'Only In the, pursuit of It In eyee that have •een freedom"—she waved k light hand toward her Ocean Rider—“like thla, subtle, understanding, inscntfuble—“ “Perhaps—perhaps you mean li cense, Theresa, Instead of freedom.", . Thlresa smiled at her gentle dlfll- dencA “Yes, T get the distinction. But unfortunately, Jerry, one must try both before one knows which ,t§ which! There’s the pity of It. And the eyes are faithful registers, they reoord it all. 8o my brave Httln Ocean Rider has got to have—not eyes that have known freedom, but which hold a vision of It—unrealized.” That same afternoon, Jerry posed tor the eyes of the Ocean Rider, who (Sr JWV.-A-jp.

And * when she had finished, and declared the res jilt far exceeded her expecta tions. she kissed Jerry Impulsive ly, for the first time, not on the lips but on the. brilliant eyes which could see visions. 1 Jerry herself saw no dif ference In the picture, felt that Theresa • had overestimated the importance of an unessential trifle, but she was glad Theresa was pleased with her. ! As she was tripping, almost hap pily. almost as Ip the days before the studio party of such sorry memories, down the stairs to her own room, she was slopped by Mltnf, a radiant vision In a filmy griwn of silk and silver lace, who held a cautioning finger across her Ups to Insure silence. “Sh!” She whispered. “Go quick, and get dolled up. You haye a caller —the best-looking thing you ever saw In your, life I" She turned expressive eyes toward the celling to convey the extent of her rapture. ^ ’ r > “I took him in my room to give you a chance to fuss up a little, after messing about with Theresa.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Christian's GoaL The contents pt the epistle may be summarized as follows: b Salutation (1 :l-2). 2. Thanksgiving and prayer in which he shows his loving interest in them (1:3-11.) 3. Triumph of the gospel In spite of opposition (1:12-26). 4. Duties enjoined (1:27-2:18). 5. Paul’s promise to send Timothy and Kpaphrodltus (2:19-30). 6. Exhortations rfnd warnings (3:1- 4:1). 7. Renewed appeal for unity (4:2-9). 8. Personal mutters (4:10-23). The essential message of Philip- plans is a revelation of the mind which should . dominate the Christian. ^ Iv.AH Things Loss for Christ (3:7-9). The o?caslon for thla remarkable-. declaration was the claim of the Judaizing teachers for legal righteous ness. In chapter 3:4-6 he enumerates the grounds upon which he had a right to tye his claims for legal righteousness. 1. “Circumcised the eighth day," In keeping with the demands of the law. 2. “Of the stock of Israel," related by blood and birth. ! 3. “Tribe of Benjamin,” from which the first king was chosen, and which always retnnined loyal to the nation. I 4. “An Hebrew of the' Hebrews.” in contrast with some of mixed parent age. 5. "Touchflig -the law, a Pharisee,” the sect most zealous for the ritual of Judaism. 6. “Concerning seel, persecuting the church.” A passionate effort to crush the church. 7. “Touching the righteousness which 1* in the law. blameless,” as ♦n the condition of life demanded by the law. All of these; valuable In themselves, when placed alongside of the excel lency of the knowledge of Christ were abandoned for a better thing. The vjslon of Christ irave him • the true perspective of values. In this light he saw the utter worthlessness of these things. After some thirty years of such trials and sufferings as per haps no other human being ever knew, he lias no regrets, and still' counts them as refuse in comparison with what lie had gained in Christ. II. Paul’s Pressn* Desire (vv. 16-11). 1. ‘That I May Know Him." Personal acquaintance with the Lord was his supreme dc lire. To know the saving grace of Christ Is good, hut to know- Christ Is Infinitely bet ter. 2. "The Power of His Resurrection." This Is an advance thought over personal acquaintance. It Is the ex pression of the life of Christ through the apostle. It Is the power you gain to overcome, .the mastery over sin and self. . 3.

Paul clearly grasped the meaning, of his perfection In Christ, yet he was keenly conscious of his personal limi tations. Herein is expressed the true law of progress In the spiritual life. 1. Conscious of Limitations (v. 12) The first step toward? progress Is to be profoundly dissatisfied with personal attainments. No Intellectual advum-ement la ever- made by those who think they know enough, who are satisfied with what they have. 2. Conscious of a Transcendent Goal (v. 13). , The Christian life Is an upward call ing. 3. A Resolute Determination to, Reach the Goal (v. 14). - A He declares, “Thla one thing I do." 4 IV. The Sight Occupation of the Mind (eh. 4:1-8). The Ideal controls the man. “As a man tklnketh In his heart, so is he." When once the mind Is guarded and controlled by. the peace of God, It will dwell upon spiritual things.
