Miss Gatewood was charming. It was her business to be chenring and she knew her business. H'T rharm received a considerable im petus, however, from the charm which #h? extracted from Elmer. Under the ameliorating Influence of her delight ful personality, Elmer was in perfect for: i He was interviewed without hem;: aware of It. nor did Doris Ciate w.v.i! have to Interview him. Every thing she wanted to know came our naturally in their conversation. In in t. the lady almost forgot she was j?1a; ug a part. Sin- was returning to Los Angeles ou 'he train which came through I'ilar i'os at ten-thirty that night. After dinner she suggested that, unless El mer had something better to do, they might kill time by going to a movie. Since Nellie was dining out that night nm! I 'mer had nothing better to do than escort his new-found acquaint nnt to the movie, he declared he could think of nothing more delight f'li So they went to see a thriller, nri ' 'toe during an exciting moment of the photoplay Miss (iatewood s< ""zed Elmer's hand Impulsively and dung to it, apparently quite oblivious of what she was doing. After dinner Elmer walked with her to the train and got her little traveling case out of the checking Ktntion In the depot. Before she boarded the train she bad exacted a promise from him to call upon her and her brother at their Los Angeles home and have dinner with them. El mer said he expected to be in Los \: .t les in a few days to buy an auto mobile, and would take that oppor tunity to renew an acquaintance so happily begun. Vpon arrival In Los Angeles. Mae. n't. is I>orIs Oatewood, reported to Colorado Charley that the flsh was on the line; that nothing now remained t ? do save get out the net and land Win. CHAPTER VIII When Elmer Clarke returned to his humble home after seeing Doris Gate wrod off at the railroad station, he was sensible of having passed one of the most delightful evenings In years. Of course he had spent many delight ful hours In Nellie Cathcart's com pany ? Nellie wan always delightful: hut about this other girl there had been a charm so utterly different from Nellie's that Elmer, after the fashion of his sex, yielded to the delight of It without bothering to analyze It. She dazzled him. She had, in effect, dared him to like her ? and he had. He wished he might see her again. Elmer lunched with Nellie the fol lowing day and discussed with her his coming campaign for election to the board of trustees of the Union high school ? a subject In which Nellie dis played the most avid Interest. For a reason so vague he did not pause to define It, he refrained from telling Nellie of the visit of the young lady reporter the evening previous. Nellie wondered why he did not. She had seen him walking down to the station with this stranger and had marked her thoroughly, from the toes of her smart boots to the tip of her saucy hat. In particular, Nellie had been struck by a note of spurious merri ment In her gurgling laugh as the pair passed, too Interested In themselves to see her. That laugh bad been just a trifle too loud. On Tuesday Elmer received a long letter from Absolom McPeake, con veying very definite information re garding the estate. It consisted large ly of very valuable business real estate In the city of Muscatine, a plethora of frame shanties In the poorer section of fh# city, from which Uncle Hiram had drawn rentals entirely disproportionate to the value of the property, stocks, bonds, farm mortgages and a little private banking business ? a usurer's 8l>op, in reality. Mr. McPeake felt confident that the Ufctie banking business could readily or to fortu a tranch Imtik of a large local institution. ??f co?m-.\ in view of Uncle Hiram? death, this bank, so dependent ui?-?n his presence, would not n?>w he sold at much of a profit, but it could be Jisitosed of without loss, and MciVake advised this course. After reading that letter. Klmer relt more than ??ver inclined to follow th?* dictates of his humble ambition ami I purchase a fine car. He carried the I letter over to the I'ilareitos Commer cial Trust & Savings bank and showed t It to the charming trust officer of that institution. Nellie was much inter ested and proffered some advice when Klmer declared he was going down t?? Los Angeles the following day tf fifty dol lars a week. I While waiting for the , - nx,* plates to arrive, he telephoned Doris Gate wood and was rewarded with shrill , feminine cries of delight from the lady in question. Could he not n.mo out to the house for luncheon? She had Just finished her story and was about to mall It east ? perhaps he would care to read it first? Klmer would. He said he would be delighted to; and at one o'clock he slid noiselessly up to Colorado Char ley's dainty bungalow and discovered the girl and her alleged brother wait ing for him on the lawn. The famed prodigal, returning from his unwholesome adventure with the husks and the swine, could not have been received with more enthusiasm. The luncheon was exquisite and served by Doris CI ate wood herself. She flushed prettily when Colorado Charley reminded Klmer that she had rooked It herself. Charley ate little, however, and appeared languid and disinter ested. as became a semi Invalid. Hav ing been informed that he was a vet eran of the World war. Elmer at once had for Colorado Charley a distinct feeling of fraternity, and the conver sation whs almost entirely of solder ing. In preparation for this, the bunco man had "boned up'* on the A. E. F. from nn invnlid ex-soldier at Arrow head hospital and another at the Vet erans' home at Sawtelle. When It seemed that he might he getting Into deep water. Doris saved him by sug gesting that it was time for him to take his after-luncheon nnp. "Poor Charley gets so excited and nervous when he talks of those ter rible scenes." she explained to Elmer. 4,It wears him out even to think about them." E'.ner suggested that Doris and he go for a ride. Doris replied that she would ndore It ? so they wont. In calm defiance of Elmer's voluntary promise to Nellie Cat heart that she should he the very first person to ride In his now car. In Justice to Elmer It must be added, however, that he had com pletely forgotten that promise Having been lightly made. It had been us lightly forgotten. While In France Elmer, In common with thousands of other young Ameri cans. had visited Paris after the Armi stice smd I.ad there listened to the old saw that If one should sit long enough on the sidewalk In front of the Cafe de la Pair, everybody he had ever known would eventually pass by. El mer had sat there half a day and been accosted by nobody more Important than a military policeman who had made him exhibit. In writing, his right to sit there. It occurred to Elmer upon his re turn to Pilareitos three days later that this Is Indeed a very small world. An exile from Pilareitos had seen him driving along Santa Monica boulevard with Doris ftntewiiod, and a former Pilareitos belle, who had emigrated to I-os Angeles and was ekin? out a precarious existence as an extra In the movies, wrote home to Alice Cood f el low that she had seen Elmer Clarke fox-trottin& In a Hollywood cafe with a girl who had everything on her ex cept the kitchen stove. This gossip so Interested Alice that she felt It her Christian duty to men tion It to Nellie Cathcart, who said nothing but wondered a little. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The Kthloplan's employment on the way (V. :t0). He was reading the Word of God. The particular portion was the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah A most excellent way to spend one's t me while traveling is to read God's ?rd. It Is through God s Word that the Individual Is shown the way of life b. The need of an interpreter (v. 31). The Ethiopian was reading one of the clearest testimonies to the Messiah in the tdd Testament, yet he was unable to understand It. Th? Ethiopian, a great statesman, needed an Interpreter of the Scriptures. The gospel needs to be experienced before one can be a witness to its saving pow er. The human mind In its natural state Is blind to spiritual things, mak ing the work of an evangelist indis pensable. Preaching the Word of God Will always be necessary. God has designed that through the foolishness of preaching, men shall be saved. Val uable. indeed, as the Bible Is In the j hands of men. the touch and inlluence of the believing man who has experi enced the work of God in his own heart Is needed. c. Philip's message (vv. 32-35). He began at the scripture which the Ethiopian was reading and preached unto him Jesus. This shows us that the person presented in the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah as suffering in the stead of others was Jesus Christ, also that the central theme of the preach er's message should be Christ crucified He did not preach Jesus as a great teacher, but as a Savior who had suf fered and died In the stead of sinners. The vicarious atonement Is a note which Is at the very heart of the message of every evangeli3t. (vv h;ptized the Ethiopian (vv. 3G-3S). As a result of Philip's preaching, the eunuch proposed bap tism. When Christ Is trnly received men will desire to confess him In baptism. Where this desire is lacking the gospel in Its fullness Is evidently not preached. The Ethiopian m,ellt have offered many excuses as to why he should neglect this Important ordi nance. hut like every man who Is hon est before God. he was willing at any cost to render obedience. 4. The Ethiopian rejoicing (v sj? Raving been baptized, he went on his way rejoicing. Confession of Christ and obedience to his Word always brings Joy. Realized Futility of Fight on Christianity ?

Photographic Perfection A 4 camera-mirror" which reflects a person's Image as that Image will appear when photographed has been Invented by I>r. Peter Si'hlumbohm, a Berlin chemist, and is expected to become a useful adjunct to pho tography, especially to film produc tion. The mirror is based on the principle that the camera's eye takes in only a certain part of the light spectrum, giving a different tone in a photograph from the Image as it appears in natural light. Doctor Schlunibohm ha? produced a special glass which rethnrts the same tones as a camera; the tones which do not appear in a photograph are ab sorbed by the glass.
