Some months of disuse were k now broken by the news that the store had been let to a music man. A music man, what on earth was that? Warbletou inquired. The music inau arrived, inistnlled three pianos, and filled his window with sheet music, -as sung by many ladles who swung in hammocks or kissed their hands on the music covers. While he wis still moving in, Pwight Herbert Deacon wandered downstuirs and stood Informally in the door of the new store. The music man, a pleasant-faced chap of thirty-odd, was rubbing at the face of a piano. "Hello, there!" he said. "Can I sell vaii an imritrfit \ ?M'W "M "If I can take It out In pulling your teeth, you can," Dwighf replied. "Or," sahl he, "I wight marry you free, .?either one." On this their friendship began] Thenceforth, when business was dull, the Idle hours of both men were Uegiflled with idle gossip. a ~ "How the dickens did you think of pianos for a line?"

The music man?his name was Nell Cornish?threw up his cliln In a boyish fashion, and said he'd be jiggered If lie knew. All up and down the Warbletou main street, the chances are that the answer would sound the some. "I'm studying law when I get the chance," said Cornish, as one who makes a bid to be thought of more * highly. "I see," salil 'Dwlght, respectfully dwelling on the verb. Later on, Cornish confided more to Dwlglit: He was to come by a little . jiffi iik. jpll?

"Don't it?" said Lnvight, heartily, as if he knew. Every one Jilted Cornish. lie told funny stories, :iml 'ie nmr compared Warbleton save to its advantage. So at last Dwlglit said tentatively at lunch: ' "What if I hrought that Neil Cornish up for supper one of these nights?" "Oh, Dwightle, do," said Ina. "If there's a man in town, let's know it." "What if I brought him up tonight?" Up went Tna's eyebrows. Tonight? "Scalloped potatoes and meat loaf and sauce and bread and butter," Lulu contributed. Ornish came lo supper. He was what is known 111 Warbleton ris dapper. This Ina saw as she emerged ?>u the veranda in response to Dwight's informal halloo on his way upstairs. She herself was In white muslin, now much too snug, and a blue ribbon. To her greeting their guest replied in that engaging shyness which i; not awk wardncss. He moved in some pleasant web of gentleness and friendliness. They asked him tiie usual questions, and ho replied, rocking all the time , with a faint undulating motion of . head and shoulders: Wnrbletou was one of the prettiest little towns that ~ he had ever seen.

"I declare that daughter of mine is never any- I where." A brief silence ensued as they were Seated. There being a guvt, grace was ; to come, and Dwlght said, unintelligibly and like lightning, a generic appeal to bless this food, forgive all our I sins and finally save us. And there ' was something tremendous In this ancient form whereby all stages of men bow In some now unrecognized recognition of the ceremonial of taking food to nourish life?and more.

She met Cornish, crimsoned, fluttered to her sent, joggled the cable and, "Oh, dear," she said audibly to ' her mother, "I forgot my ring." The talk was saved alive by a frank i effort. Dwj_;ht served, making jesti about everybody coming back for , more. They went on with Warbleton i Knm,a,tln(TQ {mnprtronianO nnil nnpn. I I UU^CIUllfgg, OU^.VIVIUWW ~..v. ' Jugs; and the runaway. Cornish tried i hard to make himself agreeable, not ingratiatingly, but good-naturedly. He wished profoundly that before coming ! he had looked up some more stories in the back of the Musical Gazettes. | Lul.u surreptitiously pinched off an ant that was running at large upon the cloth and thereafter kept her eyes steadfastly on the sugar bowl to see if it could be from that. Dwight pretended that those whom he was belpj ing a second time were getting more than their share and fncetiously landI ed on Di about eating so much that she would grow up and he married, first thing she knew. At the word i "married" Dl turned scarier, laughed heartily and lifted her glass of water. "And what instruments do you play?" Ina asked Cornish, in an unrelated effort to lift the talk to mu: ; steal levels.. "Well, do you know," said the mu| sic man, "I can't piny a thing. Don't 1.-nmv u l,liir-li- nntn frntll II U'llltp nilf." "You don't? Why Di plays very | prettily," said Di's mother. "Hut? | then, how can you tell what songs to ! order?" Ina cried. "Oh, by the music houses. You go by the sales." For the first time it oc-' curred to Cornish that this was rldic-1 ulcus. "You know, I'm really studying law," lie said, shyly and proudly. Law! llow very interesting, from Ina. Oh, but won't he bring up some songs { : some evening, for them to fry over? | Her and Dl? At this DI laughed and , said that she was out of practice and i lifted her glass of water. In the presence of adults Dl made one weep, she was so slender, so young, so with-1 out defenses, so intolerably sensitive ' i to every contact, so in agony lest she i he found wanting. It was amazing how unlike was this Di to the Dl who 1 lmil MiEiiiiroil l'nlihv T.nrlcin. What was one to think? Cornish paid very little' attention to : her. To Lulu he said kindly, "Don't j you play. Miss??" lie had not caught ! ; her name?no stranger ever did catch 1 ' it. Hat Dwight now supplied it: "Miss Lulu Lett." lie explained, with loud emphasis, and Lulu burned her slow , red. This question Lulu had usually | answered by telling how a felon had : interrupted her lessons and she had I stopped "taking"?a participle sacred , to music, In Warhleton. This vignette j had been a kind of epitome of Lulu's i biography. But now Lulu was heard to say, serenely: "No, but I'm quite fond of It. I went to a lovely concert?two weeks ago." They all listened. Strange, indeed, j to think of Lulu as having had oxperi- j ences of which they did not know. "Yes," she said. "It was in Savon- ! nah, Georgia." Slio flushed, and lifted her eyes in a manner of faint defiance. ( "Of course," she snhl, "1 don't know j the names of all the different instru- [ ments they played, but there were a ; good ninny." She laughed pleasantly as a part of lie:* sentence. "They had some lovely tunes," she said. She knew that the subject was not exhausted and she ' urrled on. "The hall was ----1 c lirv C-IM.m-M llllo/l "mill 11*11 lutfe*', OIIL oiti'Viumivu, U..M , tliere were quite a good many people j there. And it was too warm." "I see," said Cornish, and said what he had been waiting to say: That he, too, had been in Savannah, Georgia. I.ulu lit with pleasure. "Well!" she i said. And her mind worked and she j caught at the moment before it had escaped. "Isn't It a pretty city?" she asked. And Cornish assented with the intense heartiness of the provincial, lie, too, it seemed, had a conversa- ! tional appearance to maintain by its own effort. lie said that he had en-1 joyed being in llmt town and that lie was there for two hours. "I was there for a week." Lulu's superiority was really pretty. "Hare good weather?" Cornish so-: looted next. "Oh, yes. And they saw nil the different buddings?but at imr "v/e" she) flushed and was silenced. She wna coloring and breathing quickly. This i was the first bit of conversation of I this sort In Lulu's life. After supper Ina Inevitably pro- i posed croquet, Dwlght pretended to .try to escape and, wft.li his irrepressible mien, talked about Inn, elaborate In his insistence on the third person? "She loves It, we have to [humor her. .vou know how It Is. Or no I You don't knowl But you will"?and more of the same sort, everybody laughing heartily, save Lulu, who looked uncomfortable and wished that Dwlght wouldn't, and Mrs. Bett, who puld no attention to anybody that night, not because she had not been Introduced, an omission which she had not even ?n? nnntlior fnrm ilWULXU, UUk tuvivij ?*? of "tantrim"?a self-indulgence. They emerged for croquet. And there on the porch sat Jenny I'low and Bobby, waiting for Pi to keep an old engagement, which PI pretended i to have forgotten., and to be frightfully annoyed to have to keep. She met the objections of her parents with all the batteries of her coquetry, set for both Bobby and Cornish and, bold in the presence of "company," at last wont laughing nwny. And in the minute areas of her consciousness she said to herself that Bobby would be more In love with her than ever becnuse she had risked all to go with him; and that Cornish ought to be distinctly attracted to her because she bad not stayed. She was as primitive as pollen. Inn was vexed. She said so, pontine in n fashion which she should have outgrown with white muslin and blue .ribbons, and she had outgrown none of these things. "That just spoils croquet," she said. "I'm vexed. Now we can't have a real game." From the side door, where she must hnve been lingering among the waterproofs, Lulu stepped forth. "I'll play a game," she said. * * When Cornish actually proposed to bring some music to the Deacons'. Inn i turned toward Dwight Herbert all the facets of her responsibility. And Ina'p sense of responsibility toward D) was enormous, oppressive, primitive, amounting, in fact, toward this daughter Of Dwight Herbert's late wife, to an ability to compress the oillces of stepmotherhood into the functions of the lecture platform. Ina was a fountain of admonition. Her Idea of a daughter, step or not, was that of a manufactured product, strictly, which you constantly pinched and molded. She thought that a moral preceptor had the right to secrete precepts. D1 got them all. Rut of course the crest of Ina's responsibility was to marry 1)1. This verb should be transitive only when lover* are speaking or eacn other, or the minister or magistrate Is speaking of lovers. It should never be transitive when predicated of parents or any other third party. Rut It |s. Ina was quite agitated by Its trcnsitiveness as she tool: to her husband her incredible responsibility. j "You know, Herbert," said Ina, "If this Mr. Cornish comes here very 1 much, what we may expect-',' "What may we expect?" demanded Dwlght Herbert, crisply. Ina always played his games, answered what he expected her to answer, pretended to be intuitive when she was not so, said "I know" when she didn't know at all. Dwight Herbert, on the other hand, did not even play her games when he knew perfectly what she meant, but pretended not to understand, made her repeat, made her explain. It was as if Ina had to please him for, say, a living; but as for that dentist, he had to please nobody. In the conversations of Dwlght and Ina you saw the historical home forming in clots in the fluid wash of the community. "He'll fall m love wiui ui,- saia Inn. "And what of that? Little daughter will have many a man fall in love with her, I should say." "Yes, hut, Dwlght, what do you think of him?" "What do I think of him? My dear Inn, I have other things to think of." "But we don't know anything about him, I)wight?a stranger so." "On the other hand," said Dwlght with dignity, "I know a good deal about him." With a great air of having done the fatherly and found out about this stranger before bringing him into the home. Dwlght now related a number of stray circumstances dropped by Cornish in their chance talks. "He has a little inheritance coming to him?shortly," Dwlght wound up. "An inheritance?really? How much, I) wight?" "Now isn't that like a woman. Isn't It?" "I thought he wns from a good family," said Inn. "My mercenary little pussy!" "Well," she said with n sigh, '"I shouldn't he surprised if Pi did really accept him. A young girl Is awfully flattered when a good-looking older man pays her attention. Haven't you noticed that?" Dwight informed her, with an air of immense abstraction, that he left j all such matters to her. Being married to Dwight was like a perpetual rehearsal, with Dwlght's self-importance for audience. A few evenings later. Cornish brought up the music. There wns something overpowering In this brownhaired chap against the background of his negligible little Shop, his whole capital in his few pianos. For he looked hopefully ahead, woke with plans, regarded the children in the street as if, conceivably, children might come within the confines of his life as he Imagined It. A preposterous little man. And a preposterous *tore, empty, echoing, bare of wall, 1 the three pianos near the front, the remainder of the floor stretching away like t|io corridors of_thd lost. lie was j WOMAN'S WORLD Matters of Esrfceiaf Interest to Feminine Readers of The Enquirer. ?

Dwight Herbert cried.

They did not need it, there was, in 1 fact, no place to set it, and this Lulu must have known. 'But Dwight found a place. He swept Ninlnn's photograph from the marble shelf of the mirror, and when Lulu had placed the lamp there, Dwight thrust the photograph into her hands. "You take care of that," he said, with a droop of lid discernible only to those who?presumably?loved him. His old attitude toward Lulu had shown a terrible sharpening in these ten days since her return.

JUNIOR TOPIC?The Birth of John the Baptist. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Preparation for the Coming of Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?The Place and Work of John the Baptist. We are today entering upon a six months' course of study in the Gospel of Luke, whose general subject is "Jesus the World's Savior." Today's lesson concerns the birth of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ. I. The Parents of John the Baptist (vv. 5-7). 1. When They Lived (v. 5). "In the days of Herod the King." They lived In a day when ungodliness was rife. The priesthood was very corrupt and the ruling classes were wicked. Zacharias and his wife lived in a time when It was not so easy to be godly. 2. Their Character (v. G). They were righteous before God. To be righteous before God Is a high tribute. Many appear to be righteous before men who are not righteous before God. Their lives were so mated mat mey walked In the commandments of the Lord blameless How beautiful It Is when husband and wife are united In the Lord and walk together In fellowship with Goth 3. They Were Childless (v. 7). Though this godly couple were well mated and they possessed the Joy of the Lord In their souls, there was a real lack In that home. II. The Birth of John Promlaed (vy. 8-17). 1. By Whom (v. 11; cf. v. 19). The nngel Gabriel appeared and made known the good news to Zacharlas. This exalted being, the special messenger of God, was sent to make this disclosure. 2. When (vv. 8-14). While ofllclatIng as priest tills good news came to him. Zacharlas must have been definitely praying about this very matter (v. 13). As he burned Incense, which 'tiMilCKwl nrnver the multitude Without were praying. 3. Characteristics of the Child (vy. 15-17). (1) Shall be great in the sight of the Lord (v. 15). Though the people did not grently esteem him he was highly esteemed by the Lord. This Is infinitely better than if he had been greatly esteemed In the eyes of men or In his own eyes. This Is the esteem for which we all should long and pray. (2) Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink (v. 15). The child shall become a Nnzarlte, separating himself from the sensuous things and dedicating himself to the service of the Lord. (3) Be filled with the Holy Ghost (v. 15). The energy of the divine Spirit would enable him to lead j the people to repentance (v. 1G). (4) Shall go In the spirit and power of Elijah (v. 17). In this power lie was to prepare the people for the coming of the Suvlor ami the salvation which He was to bring. III. Zacharias Asking for a Sign (vv. 18-2.1). Although the aged priest was earnestly praying for the salvation of Israel the gracious prohilse of the angel. 4vhlch was the beginning of that salvation, staggered Ills faith. Ilo was unable to believe that that for which he fondly hoped and prayed world be realized. The angel gave Zacharias a sign. He was smitten with dumbness which was to continue until the fulfillment of the promise. Because he refused to praise God In faith for this gracious promise God caused his tongue to be silent until the promise was fulfilled and hlR lips could open in thanksgiving and praise. Though lie was rnus reuuaeu, m uik b?uic muo( Ms faith was strengthened by the manifestation of the supernatural, j God wants us to trust Him. to believe his promises, no matter how contrary! to reason they may seem. IV. The Pro?iise Fulfilled (vv. 5763). # ? When the time came for the birth of John, Elizabeth brought forth a son and the neighbors rejoiced with her. j On the eighth day they circumeizedj the child and gave him a name according to the Instruction of the angel (v. 13). The name John was contrary to the family custom. By means of writing Zacharias made known the name which he would have by divine Instruction. At this time God opened the mouth of Zacharias and he offered up praise. J have scaled all four peaks of Mount Olympia. They are said to bo the first women to have accomplished the feat. ?
