The Tri-Weekly Journal’* Own Serial The Only Thing That Counts A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia By the Famous Novelet Carolyn Beecher | (Copyright, 1920.) CHAPTER X IT was hard for Helen to keen her cynical views regarding life to herself, but she was possessed of a peculiar feeling of responsi bility as regarded Adele, so much younger, yet in many ways more sophisticated, who had been able to live alone, yet because of her natural probity had been able to live so that she had nothing to hide; Adele, who talked of her “affairs” with per fect frankness, because she had done nothing of which she was ashamed. Adele sketched in a jumpy sort of way her life at home on the farm, her dissatisfaction with life in the country, her disagreement with her mother because of it. She said little of the first few months after shfe qame to New York. But Helen, could read between the lines and admired her friend for her bravery. She had little money, 4o friends—and a false idea of her own ability. Yet she had come through clean. Back of the sordidness of Adele’s story had been something else. The sturdy goodness, the unquestioned morality of her farming ancestors. Church, Sabbath school, the minister, all had figured in the story as she told is. It had been inbred in her very existence that to disobey the Ten Commandments was to sin be yond all forgiveness— “ She has learned life without be ing herself despoiled,” Helen said bitterly, after Adele Jiad left her. “She has nothing to regret.” A med itative look crept into Helen’s eyes, a look that was both hungry and hard. It was this look of hunger about her mouth, in her eyes, that Lansing had caught and that had puzzled him. She was still young, yet her strange ly unsatisfied eyes gave her a touch of even greater maturity than be longed to her. Often with him she had also an air of disdain. He had noted it especially when some man was being discussed. It was as if she believed nothing fine could emanate from the sex. Adele also had noted the look and she too had been curious. But part of her religion, as she told Helen, was minding her own business and expecting other people to mind theirs. So. she said nothing. Helen was not successful with her next story. It came back promptly with a note from the editor, asking her to make certain changes, then try him again. Her surprise was perhaps greater than her disappointment, although her money was again getting low. But her belief that the world owed her a living was not disturbed, so she threw tht story aside impatiently, saying to Adele; “I hate to change it! I hate to do my work over. I am interested at first, but when I attempt to follow suggestions I invariably make a mess of things.” “Don’t change it, then. Send it to some one else.” “I will.” In a day or two Helen received a letter from the editor of the popular magazine to whom she had sent the story. “Will you please call at your earli est convenience?” Wondering, Helen complied. “Your story interested me greatly. I imagine it is a true story. You are a Californian, are you not?” “I have been in Califorhia.” The last thing in the world Helen wanted to do was to talk of Cali fornia. The editor sensed it, but, as he was an enthusiast about the state, he continued to talk of its beauties. Finally he said: “No one but one familiar with California could have written this story.” He went on then and pointed out passages she had not realized told so plainly her familiarity with the country and the habits and cus toms of its people. “If you will re write the passages I have marked, leaving the rest of the story as it is, I shall be glad to take it,” he told her, then asked her address, before she left. Could, he have seen Helen when she reached her room he would have been amazed. She took the manu script from its envelope, tore it into tiny bits. Then she burned the frag ments. “I must be careful! Some one might have read that story and— known. They might have found me.” she muttered, as she watched the blaze. Then she sat down and commenced another story, an imaginative yarn that had been floating in her brain for days. When she tired she wrote the kind editor a note. “I have had an accident with the story, so cannot return it to you, as I kept no copy,” was all she said. But Mortimer Kellogg, the young, ambitious editor of the magazine, had been interested in Helen—in het beauty as well as in her work. He had her address. He would avail him self of it to call upon her. “She has lived,” he had mused after she left his office. “That woman has a story. It is in her eyes.” Then and there he had determined to follow up the acquaintance. He was a bachelor, alone in New York. She called herself “Miss.” Chapter XI. a DELE and Helen were sipping /\ tea in Helen’s apartment. /"X Adele remarked, apropos of nothing: “There’s no use being friends with a married man, because it can .<• to anything. I’d hate to take an other woman’s leavings, and that’s what it amounts to if you get him at all —it is simply because the. other woman, his wife, is through.” Helen came up from the depths. “It all sounds terribly risque and —well, complicated. I take it you have at some time known a married man.” “I have, several,” Adele replied in her downright way. “Good, bad, and indifferent. But there was one”-® she hesitated as she gazed dreamily into her cup. “There always is—isn’t there?” Helen asked. “Yes —I guess so.” Her blue eyes clouded, then smiled at Helen. “He was from California.” An almost im perceptible start from Helen passed evidently unnoticed. “He was ter ribly good-looking. He and his wife hadn’t hit it off very well, weren’t congenial—same old stuff, you know. He was dreadfully keen for me. I mean he pretended to be. Perhaps he was honest. I don’t know. He was tied to one woman. That was enough for me. I never believed in partnerships, anyway.” “How long have you known him?” Helen made her question careless be cause of the smile that accompanied It. “I met him three, years ago. He was in New York for about six months. Five of the six he chased me. I don’t know what he did the rest of his time. I told him there was nothing doing, although he pre tended if I would encourage him he would get a divorce from the woman who didn’t understand him. Say, Helen, why in heaven’s name don’t men think up something new? If I were a man I’d tell women something original, even if I had to say she un derstood me too well. What will you bet that isn’t the trouble, anyway? Some women are pretty clever, you know.” “I dare say you are right. Men are pretty much alike the world over. I guess.” “Say, Helen, why is it> all really nice men, men you like, are mar ried?” “You have answered your own question, Adele. Because they are nice.” Then: “But you’d better stick to the single ones. Warmed over af fections can’t, possibly be as interest ing as fresh ones.” Adele smiled. She could not understand that Helen had reason to know, because she knew noth’n'g of Helen—really. A ring at the door bell interrupted them. Adele flew to answer it. “May I come in and have some tea, or am I too late?” Kirk Lansing asked, stepping into the room. “I’ll make some more,” Adele said blithely. This is cold. Helen and I have been discussing men and it cooled the tea.” “How recklessly pretty she is,” Lansing said to Helen in an aside, as Adele bustled about the tea things. “She is pretty, but far from the reckless creature she seems,” Helen replied. “She has some of the quaint est ideas. Hei’ philosophy of life is a little mixed, but she runs straight always. She couldn't help it because she is good.” Lansing smiled at Helen’s earnest ness. Her simple frock revealed un grudgingly the beauty of her throat and a glimpse of delicate white skin where it ’ as cut square in the front. He leaned toward her, took her two hands in his, and held them with a firm grip. Slowly she drew them away. No blush mantled her cheek. It was as if she were accustomed to his hold ing her hands. He couldn’t help won dering a bit. There was nothing for ward, nothing at all common in Helen, or in her manner. It was more as if she had erected a fence about herself, her emotions. That it had cost her a certain amount to so shield herself, he could not, of course, know. But that she was coldly unresponsive to anything at all like love-making he had been given proof. Once Lansing had said to Helen: “No pure-minded girl should ever ask to know what happened before she came upon the scene.” They had been discussing a story in a popular magazine. “When a man has done wrong, the thing he has to do is to keep still about it. It is the woman’s secret, isnt’ it? If he is a man he never will reveal it to any one, never under any circumstances.” He had been surprised at the look in Helen’«t face; something like re lief from a strain—as if a promise had been given that meant much to her. The look was gone in a moment, but the memory of it remained. She was always surprising him by some mood. But her growing in timacy with Adele gave him slight opportunity of seeing her alone. As he felt her firm withdrawal of her hands, noted the calm, undisturbed expression, he thought: “A woman oi ice! Yes—her eyes belie her.” “I’m falling madly in love with her,” he said to himself as he sipped his tea, and Adele chattered unceas ingly. “I wonder—yet I know it can be nothing to her discredit. A disap pointment, perhaps broken promises, that has embittered her.’ (To Be Continued.)

What will take blackheads and pimples off the face? How can a girl win a boy’s confidence? I am eighteen years old and have been going with a young man twenty for about two Aionths. I love him dearly, but he has never told me he loves me, but comes to see me every chance he has and that is not often, as he is now in school a good ways from home. He never breaks a date and writes to me real often. Do you think he loves me? I will appreciate it very much if you will answer these questions for me. Please sign my initials. H. R. M’D. I am sending a letter to the readers of this column on how to remove blackheads and the prop er treatment of the face. I am sure the young man must care a great deal for you. Be sweet and charitable and sincere. Let the womanly qualities endowed you by nature, come to the sur face, for men love sweet, sincere women, who are free from cat tishness. Such a woman inspires confidence, especially when she controls her tongue. Would you be so kind as to give me, information pertaining to the Salvation Army? I am so anxious to know. Do they have any rules as to how old a girl should be, or if they have to have a good educa tion? Will thank you so much if you can help me. I am a country girl. Sincerely, CLIMMIE.

I am confident you can get full information from thajt source, and they will be glad to accommodate you. Here comes a young girl for your good advice. Should a girl open a package, such as candy or birthday present in the presence of the giver, if he be a young man, or should she wait till he goes. Please advise me. Also is a girl of twenty years old enough to go with a boy her father objects to her going with. Should she go on with him or take liter fath er’s advice? Now, please. Miss Mer redith, answer as soon as possible Your kindness will be appreciated. “BROWN EYES.” It is perfectly proper to open a birthday package In the pres ence of the giver. If the present happens to be candy, and you do not wish to open it, you may say: “I do not wish to open this lovely box of can'dy just yet. I want to keep it a few days, ' lust to get real joy out of pos sessing it. And when I do open it I shall certainly think of the giver for remembering me so kindly.” A girl of ttventy years is old enough to have beaus. Find out from your father his real reason for not wanting you to accept the young man’s at tentions.

OUR HOUSEHOLD CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS Christmas Plans There have been some of the Christmas presents made, I feel sure. There should be a box or trunk or drawer, not used daily, that could be used for the scraps to use in Christmas presents or for the finished products. We knew last January that in twelve months we would be once more in the rush of Christmas, and then was the time to mentally store away the idea that each month would see something prepared for the day we celebrate. I heard a woman say that she had seventeen presents ready for the young people. She has not de cided just how these seventeen will be distributed. Six are pretty hand kerchiefs she has made. Not one is elaborate, just an edge of crochet or tatting or a little medalion in a corner. She is not a rich woman, but the things she gives count for something. Two of her presents will be magazines—that is her most expensive present, but a family will enjoy each subscription. The Tri- Weekly goes to one, and that’s a good suggestion for all of us. Money wasted, there is no lasting value, but a subscription puts some thing permanently good into the home. , I know a family that can be counted on for dainty needle-work. The little girls sent their presents for the very earliest years made by their, own little fingers. At first they overcast the edges of white cloth or chamois and took pride in the work. The gift that is made SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON For December s—Matt. 13:1*43. DR. MARION M’H. HVLI Golden Text: “Fret not thyself be cause of evildoers.” Fsa. 37:1, We saw last week how Matthew recorded the growing opposition to Jesus the King, as shown by the question of John, the indifference ot the cities where He had labored, the hatred of the Pharisees and Scribes, and even the belief on the part of His mother and brethren that He had lost His mind. We saw also how, because of this rejection of the King, He had extended His gracious invitation to all who labored and were heavy ladcned, irrespective of race or religion, and included in His circle of nearest relatives those who did the will of His father in heaven. We see now that as a result of this rejection of Him as the King, and which was openly done later. He changed the form of His teaching. Now He is- speaking in parables; the reason for which, He tells His dis ciples, is so "that those who are in earnest may understand, while those whose only'object is to criticize may not. Unto them it was to be grant ed that they might know the myster ies of the kingdom of the heavens, the truths about it which were not an afterthough on the part of God (by no means, but which b/td been hidden until now, although all rl< they had been part of thp eternal; purposes of God. The rejection of he King had postponed the estab- i shment of the kingdom. ’ here here is no king there can be no i-'gdom. It had created a gap, not contemplated in the Ort Testament r • o’ ' - ■ T!’-*' dispensation of tile spirit, is tnat gap amt the ior.. o. • 1< n necessitated by the changed condi tions are the mysteries or formerly hidden things now revealed in the parables. Matthew characteristically gives a group of seven, four on the shore and three in the house. The first four have to do with the ex ternal aspect of the kingdom in this new form, the last three with the internal. In studying these, keep constantly in mind the grouping, and also thqt they are speaking of the kingdom and not of the church. He says: “The Kingdom of the heaven is like, and etc,” never the church is like and etc. The First Four Matthew is always logical in his grouping, having a definite purpose in mind; so let us examine them, the first four todax, and next week the last three. This is the order. The parable of the soil, the seed and the sower; 2d, of the wheat and tares; 3d, of the mustahd seed; 4th, of the leaven. The first two were Inter preted by Jesus -Himself to the dis ciples, and give us the principle of interpretation for all of the others. All reveal the startling fact that in the present form of the kingdom, evil is predominant. , The first one shows only one fourth of the seed bearing fruit. Part fell by the wayside where the ground was beaten hard by constant pass ing, and the birds of the air came and took them away. Although the seed, which is the “word of the King dom” (note this particularly), was “sown in the heart,” where it might be received, it was not, and the evil one snatched it away. Note that the birds of the air represent evil, ac cording to Jesus’ own statement. Here the devil is the enemy of the kingdom. Another part fell on shal low soil with a rock bottom; and lack of depth gave it no chance for root, and it withered in the hot sun; as some shallow souls take every thing enthusiastically but don’t last. There are many beginners, but com paratively fetv continuers. Here the influence of the flesh is seen to pre dominate. A third part fell among thorns and sprang up; but thorns grow faster than wheat, and the good was choked by the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches. Here the world is the paramount enemy of the Kingdom. Rather discourag ing to the sower, this story; but a fourth part fell into good soil which received and nourished it, and it yielded ten thousand per cent, six ’ thousand per cent, three thousand per cent, according to the capacity of the soil. In this parable we find then the presence of evil so domi nant that we learn that the new i form of the Kingdom is to begin by 1 the sowing of the word of the King- i flom in the world which lieth in the i wicked one, and that the devil, the flesh and the world are still the ene mies of the truth. In the second parable of the group j the devil is shown in his effort to , defeat the work of the King. The 5 good seed are sown and develop; the j word of the Kingdom produces sons < of the Kingdom. But while men slept—not Christ the King—an enemy came and sowed tares. Tares, or t darnel, isi so like wheat as it grows j that it is almost impossible to dis tinguish the difference; but when it has matured it is poisonous and bit ter. The devil’s supreme desire is to imitate Christ’s work. He has always been a liar, and if he can produce a counterfeit Christian he is supremely happy. And to his credit it must be said that his work is often extremely proficient. The laborers were not allowed to pull up the tares; wheat and tares were to grow together until the time of the harvest; then the angels are to separate them, gathering the tares into bundles to be burned, and the wheat to be gathered into the householder’s barn. Notice that this is the Kingdom and not the church about which Jesus is speaking. Paul tells us to put out of the assembly those who persist in sinning; discipline in the church is not enjoined. But in the Kingdom in its new form, since the King was rejected, the disciples were taught to expect evil to grow, and ; no effort made to separate them. No , men can do this; this is the angel’s ■ work, and it is not to be done until , the harvest. , The Mustard and the Leaven Possibly no two passages of scrip- by baby fingers is always very precious. This year many homes must cur tail expenses or sacrifice cotton Lib erty bonds or Thrift Stamps. ’ Let the thrift that made these things possible show away out of this di lemma. Make something. The wom an in the county can get some sacks made is appreciated, and a kitchen salt sacks and fill with her sausage meat. Hang up until time to send them off and let some friends enjoy a breakfast of good old country sau sage. A glass of chili sauce for the friend who does light housekeeping. A dainty undergarment for the busy woman who has to buy hers ready made is appreciated, and a iktehen apron is a delight. Os course, you can put a lot of money in the mate rials used for any of these, but I am making these suggestions for the thrifty ones whose surplus says “only a (trifle this time.” And begin your list with the names of those you think are not likely to receive many presents. Mrs. A. may be the sort that few people think of at Christmas time. Little Henry may get only an apple from Santa, so be sure you put his name among the “sure-to-send” things. Put your minds to work. Do you know that there are a great many people who are physically active with minds'too lazy to get them out of a mud-pud die? Put your minds to work and let me hear how you succeed. You have three weeks to make up the time you’ve wasted all this year. See about it. ture have been more universally mis understood and misinterpreted than the next two parables, unless the next two —the treasure and the pearl —claim that distinction. We shall see about them next week. The mus tard seed, the smallest of all seed, is seen to grow until it becomes a tree so large that the birds of the air roost in its branches. The wom an takes three measures of meal and hides a bit of leaven in it until the whole is leavened. We are told that these represent the external and in ternal growth of the Kingdom—the mustard seed representing the small and insignificant beginning of the church until it is spreading and shall spread over the whole world, the leaven representing the gospel that gradually pervades the whole world How thoroughly wrong both these interpretations are can be readily seen from a careful study of the scripture. They are wholly at vari ance with the context. Matthew has shown how the opposition to the King has grown so that He has to adopt a new form of teaching t&at the Kingdom is to be in the world that lieth in the wicked one, that the preaching of the world of the Kingdom is to be only partially suc cessful, the devil, the flesh and the world making much of it ineffective; and that evil is to grow along wi.th the good until the the time of the harvest. How can the next two par ables be interpreted then to teach exactly the opposite of that? No, they do not. The mustard is a gar den herb: and here we have a garden herb showing abnormal growth and becoming a tree—something abnor mal for it—and a tree so large that the birds of the air lodge in its branches. Remember also that Je sus Himself in the first parable said the birds of the air were the evil one. What then does this parable of ’ the Kingdom mean? It is nothing less than Christendom—that peculiar admixture of good and evil, that ab normal growth of good until it har bors all kinds of sins and evils. The Kingdom was to be in the world yet not of it; but it has grown to such abnormal proportions that It is of it. And the parable of the leaven pre sents still the influence of evil in the Kingdom. Everywhere else in the Bible, without exception, leaven is used as a type of evil. By all rules of interpretation, it must mean evil here also. Th© woman represents the church, and she is doing what the scripture forbids (Lev. 2:11), putting leaven in the meal-offering, corrupting the children’s bread, for the three measures of meal (an ep hab) was typical of Christ the Bread of Life. How truly do we see this phase of the Kingdom todav—the church corrupting the doctrine of Christ by ritualism, formalism, new thought, Christian Science, Russian ism, mormonism, and various other phases of error, purporting to be the Bread of life. Shall we be pessimistic over this’ No, a thousand times, no. History has shown us the truth of these words of Jesus the Christ. But the harvest time will come, and all will be well. Until then, keep heart and eyes on Him, Pointers on Feeding Poultry Are Given Feed according to the appetite of your poultry, says the department of agriculture: no definite rule can be given. Feed scantily of grain in the morning and give all the grain they will eat In the afternoon In time to find it before dark. There should he no grain in the litter at noon; when found, it indicates feed ing too much in the morning. In general, feed by weight 2-3 parts of grain to 2 parts of mash. When the birds are laying heavily > they should consume a larger amount of mash. A green range of alfalfa, clover or grass furnishes the ideal condition. When these are not available it is necessary to give the birds some kind of succulent food. Mangel beets, cab bage, sprouted oats or green clover are usually considered the best green feeds. If these are not obtainable apples and potatoes make a valuable addition to the ration. Feed at noon in such amounts as the birds will clean up before night. Hard, sharp grit is necessary for grinding feed; oyster shell to supply lime for egg shells. Neither will re place the other. Finger-Bowls of Brass In the Japanese shops, one can purchase finger-bowls of beaten brass that are unusually attractive and a set of these would make a very acceptable gift to a matron. For the Traveler For the woman who travels, a miniature laundry kit would be a practical gift. This consists of six ' small clothes-pins, a clothes-line and two glass thumb tacks to hold the line. This comes in a small leather case.
