He rang up the hotel operator to ask tfee time. It was 7:45. He waa half drunk, impatient, his nerves fraszled, and when Max Kane arrived a few minutes later with the producer, J« Btengel, Larry was in anything bat a pleasant state of mind. He *%ras very much upstage -- the great film actor about to eonfer an extraordinary favor upon one of New York's most celebrated producers of plays. He took it for granted that Stengel had come to ask him to act in the play, wheb Stengel had come at Max's urgent request merely to get acquainted and to consider the matter. He cut off Max 'a attempt to be diplomatic. % "Now listen, 8tengel, I'm a NAME and I'm not going to play second fiddle to any cheap English ham. Eight thousand a week -- that's what I got. So don't think you 're doing me a. favor because I'm doing you one, accepting a part in your ratty little play." "I think maybe we're keeping you from your dinner," said 8tengel, getting up to leave. Max '8 attempts at calming Larry down had the opposite effect, and Stengel left with a curt "Good night." Max saw him to the elevator and returned to curse Larry for a fool. "I never worked so hard to put Millicent's sister Hattie and her husband Ed, pinch-hit at the dinner for Lord and Lady Ferncliffe. Mill!- cent told her guests that Lord Ferncliffe had suffered an attack of arthritis and been ordered to Florida-- j had taken a special train. Kitty, Packard looked at big Dan Packard with a snort of amusement at the announcement. Dr. Talbot and his wife Lucy arrived. Milliceat was do- <iqg her best to keep the defection of tike . guests of honor from throwing pall over the assembled dinner gue»ts when a maid whispered fer her to go upstairs -- something had happened to Mr: Jordan. Vaguely alarmed, «he got Dr. Talbot they weat up to find Jordan on the floor, trying valiantly to get to his feet. Both her husband and Dr. Talbot made light of his illness, laying it to indigestion, but a few minutes later j Millicent got the truth from the phyaician and hurried back to her hus-! band, dropped en her knees by his I chair, and flung her arms about his | neck. i " Oh, Oliver, I never realized until i Dr. Talbot told me how ill you are--1 that I might lose you -- how much' I really care for you -a- so kind, so courageous. Oh, Oliver, I want you so terribly "to get well I We'll get on one of our own boats and take a long sea trip." "I can't do that, I'm afraid," said Oliver." I may lose my in- < terest in the Jordan line,, Someone' has been buying up the stock. And ] everybody's frightened." j "You mean everything's gone?" > "Perhaps, I don't know." I Mrs. Jordan was called down; stairs to her guests by the maid, and' /isten, Stengel, I'm a name and I'm] mot jfling to play second fiddle H any cheap English ham. '* *B*ltnej. Wbat kind $ a sucker dtjmt think l amF" anybody over as I did you. Every * time I mentioned your name in a vaudeville booking office, they sat back and laughed. Last night, as a last resort, I sent another wire to the coast, trying to get you a filn job. Here's the answer: 'When we are in the market for bit plavers we will let you know'. You're through! You never were an actor -- just had good looks. And now they're gone. Look in the mirror. You're a corpse and don't know itl Go get yourself buriedl" Larry stood as though dazed, after Max had left him. He looked at himself in the mirror -- wiped the eold sweat from his face. Then, the bell-boy he had sent to pawn his cuff links, the silver frame from Paula's photograph, returned and threw the articles on the table. "They don't want this junk." Larry tried to induee the bell-boy to buy him a bottle of whiskey, promising to pay him tomorrow "Boloney! What kind of a sucker do you think I amf" The climax was capped when the Ikotel manager, very gentlemanly, Very courteous, very firm, arrived and asked him to vacate his room. It was wanted by a man coming that evening who always wanted that very suite. Was there another apart mentt His assistant looked over a list in his hands. Very sorry, but there was nothing available. - Larry spent a quarter of an hour in thought. Then ne carefully closed tip the crack under the door with his dress coat, plugging the window with his top-coat, dropped a number of cushions in front of the gas-log, donned his dressing gown, smoothed his hair standing in front of the mir ror, lay down in the cushions, turned cn the gas.

BARRETT In a recent issue of a metropolitan newspaper" appeared a cartoon in which our Capitol building at Washington waa securely embedded In a huge rock which rose from an angry s e a . T h e w a v e s dashing against the rock were var i o u s l y n a m e d : Marxism, Bed Revolt, and Leninism. But the rock was named Christianity. That picture was more than a cartoon. It was a preachment of the highest order. In it rushes for expression, history, nationalism, patriotishi and experience. The Gibraltar rock upon which all civilization safely rests is Christianity. This is the final verdict of history. By Christianity, however, is not meant a traditional creed or an ecclesiastical tenet. It has no reference whatever to the "isms" which for so many centuries have given rise to the splits" In denominational organizations. It has no reference to the divisions whicti even now seem to make an organically united Protestant world Impossible. Christianity as pictured In the cartoon, harks back to those fundamental virtues and beliefs to which every person can give assent, and upon which the entire Christian world can build a permanent civilization. Principal among these virtues is brotherhood--a condition pf society in which the spirit of mutual helpfulness dominates and not the Epicurean phi- 'losophy ."every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost." The principle <Jf liberty Is Important, but It is In danger of being misunderstood. Liberty is not license. Liberty is always limited by the sanctions of the moral law. Christianity also eliminates the ultimate domination of that spirit of selfishness which always destroys. It emphasizes the importance of "service" without which neither nationalism nor business can succeed. Christianity has always emphasized the importance of education. Very near the church has always been located a School. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will never perish from the earth if fortified by Christianity. Let us have more of such cartoons! © by Western Newspaper Union. CjABBY QERTIE RINGWOOD The Ringwood, Jn, Dairyman 4-H club met at the home of K. E. Cristy on April 20. All the members were present.
