CHAPTER IV
And Jerry Dispoaes
One lovely September morning, at
eleven o’clock, a smartly dressed young
man stepped briskly Into the office of
the Hurmer Motor company. He held
his soft gray hat in his hand, and
shilled, as he said he wished to see Mr.
Harmer, If you please. The charm of
his manner was not lost upon the
young girl at the desk, who told him
with real regret that Mr. Harmer was
In a very Important conference, and
had left word that he did not wish to
h« disturbed. She professed her entire
willingness to produce any other per-
•on connected with the establishment
who could be of any possible Interest
to him. But the young man shook his
head. He sal$ he must see Mr. Har
mer In person, snd should very much
appreciate the earliest possible mo
ment—consistent with Mr., Harmer’s
convenience, of course.
The lirl said she would see, and
what name, please?
M Dnane Allerton, from New York
city.”
She smiled. She had been expecting
“New York city” from the moment ahq
noted his entrance. - She went away
and came back almost at once, saying
that Mr. Harmer was very busy indeed,
and that another hour, og Indeed an
other day would suit him betteif^but
recommending the -services of his bust-
neoa manager, who was available'at
the moment. — ^ ^ ~
Duane considered that report. He
took a letter from hla pocket
“Will you five this to Mr. Harmer,’*
bo asked pleotently, “and tell him that
1 wlM rotom at any hour, or any day,
he cares to deol«nate? But I prefer
not te nee the baslneee manager, un-
lew bo Insists.”
Tho girl irniPtf spd went nwny with
tho letter, wdleasly studying the ad-
tfrew on tho envelope. She was gone
sqm tinm. Thera was
awe In her face when s&e came back
and said Mr. Harmer was waiting for
Mr. Allerton In his private office. She
pointed the way, and Dnane Allerton.
the soft gray hat still In hla hand, a
light of deep amusement in his dark
eyes, opened the door and walked in.
Jerrold was standing up, the letter
In his hand and the two men studied
each other with equal interest^ Jer
rold put out hla hand. ''
“I’m sorry I kept yon waiting,” he
said, Indicating an easy chair close to
his own. *Tn apology, may I explain
that the young woman, ray daughter,
did not evidently deem It necessary to
mention this little—er—invitation, to
me?” ,
“Do you mean to aay you didn’t
know—”
“Not the slightest suggestion of a
hint It is news to me.”
Dunhe broke Into a short pleased
laugh, and JetToKl after a puzzled,
anxious moment joined him,
‘T like that!" Duane said.
Jerrold shoved s box of cigarettes
toward him. Each took one and lit It
In silence. Duane leaned back com
fortably In his chair, and smiled at his
host. But Jerrold, under cover of the
cigarette, was sharply appraising, re
marking tlx* dapper smartness of
Duane's clothes, the weave, the tailor
ing, the studied niceness of colors and
tones.
•'Do you ^ant a Job?” he asked,
hopeful of a refusal.
"Yes, please.’’
"What can you dor
“Lord knows."
"Know anything about cnrsT
“I can drive them."
"How old are you?”
•Twenty-seven.’’
"How tong has your father beeq
dead?”
"Twelve years."
things.** Jerrold spoke quite sternly.
But when he got the number, It was
Prudence’s voice that answered. She
said that Jerry had gone wildly away
In the “Baby," and didn’t know when
she would come home, and If her fa
ther brought any strange young men
around the house she'd never be home.
"See here,” said Jerrold sharply,
glad It was Prudence, with whom It
was much easier to be stern than with
bnperturtmble Jerry. "Ydb should have
told me about this.” ',
Prudence professed her complete
and absolute Ignorance of it, at which
her husband felt somewhat better. It
was always a source of grievance to
him when Prudence knew things first.
.Hi began to feel quite gratified be-
' cause lie had been selected for the
! brunt of the burden, *
"Oh, It must have been a shock to
you,” he said sympathetically.
"Not a bit I knew there was a man
In It somewhere.’’
"How did .you know that? Did she
tell ypu—" •
"She told me nothing. I knew by the
way she looked."
"Well, what shall I do with him? I
don’t know what to do with him! I
don’t think he knows how to work—
and he doesn’t wont to work anyhow.
What shall I—"
"I don't know," said Prudence clev
erly. “What do you think?”
When Prudence said that, both Jer
rold and Jerry stepped warily, afraid
of blundering. It was Prudence’s way
of getting herself out of a tight place.
With those few words sh$ could shift
the entire responsibility for any mat-'
ter In the cosmic universe and lay all
consequential blame op other, stronger
shoulders.
Jerrold Luug qp the receiver and
' faced the White Elephant grimly. The
White Elephant, it must be admitted.

Jerrold faced him shrewdly. "Are you seemed not lb the least disturbed, Paul tanght them to believe on Christ,
as badly off as my dSEghttf sdfcMS W father^pTeased^Jh~Toct, as though, like L lo receive Him as the One on
Prudence, he washed his hands of the
entire affair and left himself to Jer-
rold’s disposal.
And then like a rare flash of Inspira
tion Jerrold saw a way out He scrib
bled quickly on a piece of paper.
”1 tell you what," he said tri
umphantly. “She’s gone out In the car
—Jerry. I mean. You go up to the
home and see Prudence. She’ll tell
yon what to do. It seems you are ex
pected to take a position tnd go to
work for me Cdme In tomorrow If
you think you can stasd It. and we’ll
see what we can scare up. But the
first thing for you to do is to go right
up there as fast as you can and see
Prudence."
Jerrold sent a boy from tho shop to
take him to the house in one of the
cars, and Duane found himself stand
ing on the wide veramia ot the gre-.it
white house, shadowy beneath great
branching maples with leaves faintly
turning to gold at the edge*, before he
realized that he had no idea under
heaven as to whom lie had come there
to see.
"See Prudence." Jerrold had told
him, with vast relief.
Tn love tike Prudence.” Jerry had
said on that memorable night in Car
ter Blake's kitchen.
"Good Lord!" he thought In trepida
tion. "Am I to hluct It out like that,
‘Lead me to Prudence*?” For what or
whomever she might be, whether sis
ter. companion, or friend, he had no
slightest Idea.
In another instant he would havs
bolted for freedom fn*m -tills embar
rassing predicament, but ths door
believe?”
Duane hesitated. “Well, perhaps
not quite. I didn't lose as much ns the
papers said. Didn’t have that much."
’Then your father died when yon
were fifteen. My Impression would be
that a man who could earn a fortune,
would hardly entrust his son's entire
future to his own disposal—at fifteen."
Duane flushed a little. “I hope you
won't be such a poor sport as to tell
your daughter that As a matter of
fact. 1 lost fnore than I could afford
to, but my father tied up enough to
take care of me. however much of a
fool I might turn out."
Jejrold laughed, but sobered quickly.
If then It had not been financial need
which brought this city youth to the
Middle West—it was e matter far mors
serious. Ills heart sank within h!ro.
He theught of Prudence and her happi
ness In having Jerry with her.
"I'll call her up," he volunteered.
And when he had his daughter on the
wire, he said cheerfully:
"Oh. by the way. Jerry, I have a
young man from New York here look
ing for a Job-*letter from you as a
recommendation."
Jerrold waited. He waited unlil he
realized that hie daughter had nothing
to say on the subject.
"Well, what shall I do with him?
Shall I bring him up to the house?"
And then suddenly there came such
n torrent of tumultuous words over
the wire as caused Jerrold to gasp
with dismay, while confusion and con
sternation spread over his kindly fact.
Presently a sharp click on the wire
Informed him that the conversation
was at an end. He hang up the re
ceiver. There was a deepening anxiety
In his face as he said:
*‘My daughter says— Do you want
to know what my daughter says?”
"Very "Inuch."
“I aQi pained to report that my
daughter says if 1 bring' you near the
house she'll shut the door on both of
us, that you came here for a job and I
am to give you a. Job, and the harder
you have to work the better It will be
for you, but thutArsonally slid hasn’t
tlie slightest intenwd In you or in what
becomes of you. ns long as you keep
out of her sight.”
“Well. I’ll be <1—d," said Duane, and
could say no more.
“Both of us," corroborated Jerry’s
father gently.
This turn of affairs burdened Jer-
roftl with the entire responsibility for*
the young man. He did not like IL He
didn't know what to-do with him. Tie
wished Jerry might have been more
communicative about her Impulses be
fore she yielded to them. He thought
she might at least have discussed the
affairs of the Harmer Motor company
with Its official head before she In
volved the establishment In foreign
complications of such portentous mag

asked weakly, remembering his duties
as host, although he felt very much as
if he had suddenly become the trou

In his Christmas stocking by some mis

“Never saw It,” said Duane Allerton.
And then, suddenly feeling that per

on: "You see, Mr. Harmer, I tried to

“Oh, dWn't she?" Jerrold was sur

Jerrold. He waa Inclined to dou}>t the

Apollos, an Alexandrian Jew, an
eloquent man and mighty in the
Scriptures, had preceded Paul at
Ephesus. He had diligently taught
the things of the Lord, knowing only
the baptism of John. W^en Aquila
and Priscilla heard him they per
ceived his lack of instruction In Chris
tian truth. Therefore, they took him
and expounded unto him the way of
God mqre perfectly. Having thus

winning smile whieh never yet had

the cross who had provided redemp
tion for them. When they received
Christ, Paul laid hands upon them
and they received the Holy Spirit.
II. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (vv.
8-10);
1. In the Jewish Synagogue (v. 8).
Thntirh the Jew> were Paul’s Invet
erate enemies, his rule was to go to
them first with the gospel. His
preaching was characterized i
(I) By boldness. He realized that
Ood sent him, and that Uis-aUtharity
was back of him. . • -
(1!) By rearon.** God’a message is
In accord with the highest reason.
(It) By persuasion. It Is not enough
to come boldly with a reasonable inesr
snge, it must be accompanied by per
suasion.
(4) By sfieaking, “concerning the
kingdom of God." He did not dis
course on current even®*, literature
or philosophy, but upon the message
of salvation through Ghrlst.
2. In Hie Schoolhouse of Tyrnn-
iius (vv. 1M0).
Th# Jews, being enein^p* of the
gospel of tlie grace of G«m1, were only
burdened by Paul’s earnest preaching.
Paul separated the disciple* from
them and retoorted to the *eh«»olhou*e
of Tyrannu*. This was followed with
glorious result*.
III. God Working Miraclos by Paul
fvv. 1M6).
Ephesiia was hoted for its wonder
workers. If Paul’s ministry was to,
he successful here, God must In an
extraordinary way pul His seal upon
HI* • work. So wonderfully did He,
manifest His power that handker
chiefs and aprons brought from Paul’s
body healed the sick and cast out evil
wpirits.
IY. A Glorious Awakening (vv. 17-
41). -
J 1 . Fear Falls Upon All (v. 17)).
Newrs of the casting out of these
evil spirits created Impressions fav
orable to Christianity.
2. It Brought to the Front Those
Who Pfofessed Faith in Christ, While
Not Living Bight Lives (v. 18).
They believed but had not broken
from sin.
.8. Gave Up the Practice of Black
Arts (v. 19).
This means forms of Jugglery by
use of charms anf magical words.
They proved the genuineness of their
actions by publicly burning their
books.
4. Uproar of the Silversmith at
Ephesus (vv. 2o-41).
(1.) The Occasion (vv. 23-24).
This was the power of the gospel
In' destroying the infamous business of
Demetrius and his followers. It was
clear to them that Idolatry was fetter
ing before the power of the gospel.
(2) The Method fv*. 25-29).
'• Demetrius, a leading business man,
-whose, business was the stay of others
of a similar nature, called a meeting
and stated that much people had
beep turned from Idolatry, and that
the market for their wares was ma
terially weakened. He appealed to
his followers:
a. On. the ground of business, saying f
“Tl)ls, our craft, Is In danger of be
ing set at naught,” v. 27.
1 b. On the ground of religious preju
dice. He said: “The temple of the
great goddess Diana shall be de
spised” (y. 27). His speech gained hts
end.
