P *"Ten days,"--the rector explained, extending a pudgy hand, "attending 'the conference on the proper use of eucharistic candies. It's a subject on which I feel rather strongly." He turned to the bedecked tree upon which Mr. Barnaby was working diligently. "And what a beautiful tree! The star lights up, I suppose." "We have hopes," said Dilly sakep-- tically.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "We didn't know you were back," Mrs. Tice returned the bow with awkward reverence. ' '"My husband wanted me to have a little talk with you about his check; You know, he promised $5000 to beau-- tify the parlor of the parish house." '""Oh, yes," said Dr. Wadham, shift-- ing his hand to bis chin in a gesture that was a sub--conscious move of self defense when he scented trouble. "And since then--well, frankly, doctor, John was very much upset about last Sunday's sermon. Mr. Gil-- christ preached from the text about the rich man entering the kingdom of heaven." "Always a | triie -- dangerous," agreed the rector. '"Yes, and last Sunday it seemed as if he were directing all his re-- marks at John. We're in the Arst pew, you know, and John says be doesan't like to complain, but there's getting to be altogether too much of this--boisheviam. _ John says the preachers are morse than half to blame for the present social unrest. I agree that some of the sermon was positively insulting." '"Mr. (Michrist is young," the reo tor interposed, "Michrist is a nut," Jerry enorted. "C oonrse, what John objected to was the reference to rents--to tharg-- ing clerks and bookheepers more than they could pay for 'wretched little fiats" John says he doesn't ceme to be told how to run his bust: "Personally, I'm very fond of Mr. CGilohrist," Mrs. Oillilam declared.

"Mr, Glichrist was such a promia gm nmn," sighed Mrs. Tice "Be rich and happy." _ fi The parolecs are required to make monthly reports to the institution showing the number of days worked, their earnings, and how this was ex-- pended, and if they have been idle at any time'a good and sufficient reason orf this must be given. The Parole officer--in making his rounds is required to confer with the sheriff and state's attorney in each county visited, together with the chief of police of the various citles, and in the majority of cities of the state the cooperation with the poliec de-- partment/'is so complete that where-- as a few\ years ago there was some opposition to the presence of paroled, men, the best of support is now giv-- en and the heads of the police de-- partments are 'among the best boos-- ters for the parole system. All pa-- role officers are members of the Ilii-- nois Sheriff's Association and many are also members of the Illinois Po-- lice Association. The work of the Division of Pardons and Paroles, has received the endorsement of the State's Attorneys' Association at ail of its recent annual sessions. g Countless interesting stories might be told of the upward climb of those released on parole, of their purchase whim and emotion. Her-- father's death at that time had not been who!-- ly Aikaster, It had left her with problems to face. Meeting these, she had learned to think, to reflect and personified Clare Jewett, Until she was 20, she had been a creature of "I've told you, he's a nut," Jerry repeated emphatically. "I wonder--'" Mrs. Gilliam contem-- plated. "He wasn't like this before he. went overseas. Maybe he was gassed--or something.". . --__.._ > "I'm very well, thank you." There was a certain defiance and a trifie explained why she had promised to marry Daniel Gilchrist, A peycholo-- gist would have said it was because one side of her naturse told her he would be successftul and" the other side that he would be faithful, not oniy to her but to his ideals, Both sides liked him. That was enough. It was Jerry who brushed aside the rather uncomfortable situation, *"Hello, Clare!" he sald. "This is #----* 4 _ -- Mra. Cilllam caught the relief in-- "Bupprise! Ha!" she laughed.

An offer to drive them home "took Mrs. Gilliam and Dilly with her. Mr. Barnaby stil tinkered with the Star of Bethichem. . "I think the trouble's outside," he decided as though he were to blame, ahd burried along to help the three into Mrs. Tice's car. f Clare looked as though she wished Jerry had gone, too. "It's funny to find you in church," she countered, trying to be at case. "I want to talk to you," he said,, serlously. . --,-- + '"That's Just it, Jerry," she object-- ed, "You always want to taik to me, and always to say something I don't want to hear." a "Why not?" *"I'm in love with someone else."

"Jerry!" _ . & --*Now that's admitted, let's go on." "Mr. Gilchrist isn't exactly pov-- erty--stricken." *"No, he got quite a lot of money from his father.
