SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Jan, 4th, 1925. —The Triumphant Entry.—Luke 19:29-40
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: Blessed is the King
that conieth in the name of the Lord.
—Luke 19:38.
During the next three months we
are to study the events of the last
week of the life of Jesus on earth.
To show how much importance is at
tached to this by the Spirit of God
we find that about one-third of the
t records of Matthew, Mark and Luke
each, and about one-half of that of
John is given in that period, which
will be increased if we add the resur
rection period. It is very clear,
therefore, that the real purpose of
Jesus in coming to earth was not
to live, but to die. Let us have this
fact in mind as we study the events
of this period, and to keep ever in
mind the further fact that He came
to die for us, each one individually.
. On Saturday evening He had been
given a supper at the heme of Si
' mon the leper in Bethany. We think
he was the husband of Martha. If
so, it was very appropriate that Mar
tha should serve, that Lazarus
should be there, and that Mary
1 should take that occasion to anoint
P Him with the spikenard that was her
• most precious possession, her en
gagement gift. ' It waa on the next
day Jno. 12:12) that the so-called tri
umphant entry into Jerusalem took
plaqe. He sent two of His disciples
—we should like to know which two
Rthev were—into the village just over
nst Bethany and Bethpage, with
icit directions as to what they
to do; they were to find a colt
' they were to loose him and
g him to Jesus, and when any
should ask why they were tak
the colt—which the owners were
to do—they were to reply: “The
I of it has need.” The owners
Id then' readily give their con
sent for it to be taken.
The Lord of All
It is interesting to note that the
order of the Greek words makes the
translation above more correct than
that ordinarily given. It is. “The
Lord of it has need,” rather than,
, “The Lord has need of it.” This
makes it easier for us to understand
why the owners so. readily consented
to let it go; they recognized whose
It was; while it was in their posses-
I pion, it really belonged to the Lord;
and it was their pleasure to give it
back to Him when He had need. This
shows that they were true disciples
of His, for all such recognize the
Lord's ownership of everything they
possess, and are delighted to give
back to Him for His use whatever
'they have that is needed by Him in
His work.
k When these two came into the
■•village they found everything just
■as Jesus had said they would, it was
■not by any prearrangement that this
■ occurred, for He had been out of the
■ country for four months, and had
■ just returned the day before; hut it
I was but another evidence of His
deity, His prescience. His ability to
know all things beforehand. ■ They
found everything “even as” He had
said. So they brought the colt, the
L foal of an ass (as Matthew helps us
r to know) to Jesus. Thereupon they
I took off their outer garments and
L placed the on the colt, whereon
never man had sat, and placed Jesus
on him, and began the entry into the
city.
It i- at least worthy of note that
this untrained animal was as docile
as though he had been ridden all of
L his life. Is this not another evidence
■ of the Lordship of Jesus? Even the
I animals recognized in Him their
f Lord and Creator.
As they proceeded along the way,
I the disciples took their outer gar
ments and placed them on the
ground for Him to ride upon, taking
them up after He had ridden over
them, and placing them down again
in front of Him a« He progressed.
Others joined them, doing the same;
and still others, wfio had no gar
ments that they could take off and
use, pulled off branches of the trees
and strewed them in the way, that
they might give Him all the honor
that would be given to a king en
tering the city after a victorious
campaign. This continued all the
way into the city, others joining
them as they proceeded, until a great
multitude had gathered.
As they walked along they cried
nut: Hosanna! Blessed is He that
comcth in the name of the Lord.
Blessed is the Son of David. Ho
sanna in the highest!” Others said:
“Peace in heaven, and glory in the
highest.”
' These expressions were particular
ly significant when we read Psalms
118:26, and Luke 2:14, and Zech. 9:9.
’ They were always looking for their
Messiah, and these words had grown

How to Cure Fresh Pork in Brine
J. J. R., Demorest, Ga., writes:
Pleace send me a recipe for cur
k ing hog meat in brine. I find
dry salt cure hardens the meat
and makes It tough.
There are quite a number of ways
vs preserving pork, and other indi
viduals might suggest a different
rec’pe for your consideration. We
-believe, however, in recommending
only those plans of procedure which
have been tested out and which,
through a series of prolonged trial
have demonstrated their efficiency.
Under the circumstances, we recom
mend that you proceed as follows,
.believing that in advising you to
use the plan outlined below, that we
are recommending as reliable a proc
ess of curing pork in brine as can
be directed to your attention and
consideration ta this time.
Bribe cur eor sweet pickle (for
100 pounds of meat):
Salt 8 pounds
Sugar or molasses 4 pounds
Saltpeter 3 ounces
Dissolve by stirring thoroughly in
hour gallops of water which has
h'con Ixiiled and looked.
f Place meat in a hardwood keg or
or in a stoneware crock, put
ting the larger piece® at the bottom
and the smaller pieces on top of
them. Pour the prepared brine over
the meat and weight the meat down
so that it will all be covered with
the brine. Allow the meat to stand
in the brine two weeks, then repack
it. to insure the exixusuve of all ;»arls
the meat to the brine. Bacon
Should be sufficiently cured by this
■ recess in thirty day's, and the thick
er cuts in fifteen to twenty days
longer. A safe plan to follow in
Georg.a is to allow four days in
cure for e«c hpound of weight of
he piece. The brine must be exam
ined every few days, and, it found to
ee ropy or stringy, the ‘meat must
be removed and washed, the contain
er washed out with hot water, the
! brine should be re-boiled and cooled,
»r much belter, new brine made.
*nd the meat repacked in the
:leansed container and covered with
the brine.
Upon removing meat from the
arine at the completion of the cure,
it should be hung up and allowed
Io drain and dry so 124 hours before
smoking. If the drv meat is found
10 hate a coafing of salt on it. this
Lhould be washed off in lukswarm
k' «t*r. and the meat dried again be
■rt the smoking is begun.

into their inner consciousness as
they increased in wisdom and statue;
now that they see One who has
dong so many wonderful things they
rejoice and praise God for the mighty
works that they had seen. We
shall refer to this praise again, but
for the moment we pass it by with
out further, comment.
A Division: A Weeping
There was always a division be
cause of Him, and this was no ex
! ception. While the multitudes were
I giving Him all the praise due to a
I victorious King, the Pharisees came
Ito Him with complaint. The rnulti
( tude had called Him the King, the
j Son of David. The Pharisees speak
: of Him only p.s Teacher, and de
i mand that He rebuke His disciples
I for the praise they have been giv-
I ing Him. His reply was most sig
nificant —“I tell you that if these
should hold their peace the very
stones would cry out immediately.”
Until now He had- never allowed
any one to give Him recognition
as the King; but i)ow He accepts it,
and says that if it was not given
Him by them the stones would im
mediately do so. He was definitely
offering Himself again to the Jew
ish nation as their long-expected
Messiah. And the tragedy of it is
that their leaders just as definitely
rejected Him! Knowing this, is the
explanation of the very striking
words that came from His lips as
He came over the brow of the hill,
and caught sight of the city as it
lay before Him across the valley of
the Kidron: He “wept over it, say
ing, If thou hadst known, even
thou, at least in this thy day, the
things which belong unto thy
peace . . . thou knewest not the
day of thy visitation.”
What did He mean by these
strange words? Why wa s He weep
ing so? Tha z reason is to be found
in a study of the ninth chapter of
Daniel in connection with the pas
sage in Zechariah already referred
to. It was toward the close of the
seventy years’ captivity that Daniel
from a study of “the books” —nota-
bly Jeremiah—realized that the pe
riod of the captivity was nearly
over, and was wondering whether it
would be at this time or not that
God would fulfill to the Jews all
the promises that He had made to
Abraham, Issac, Jacob, ai>d David;
and so he set himself to pray that
God would reveal to him the truth.
The answer came to him, that it
would not be at the' end of thesp
seventy years, but after I
sevens, or 490 years. He was then
told that even this preiod would be
browen up, and that “from the go
ing forth of the commandment to
restore Jerusalem unto Messiah the
prince would be 483 years; the Mes
siah should be cut off and have
nothing.”
Now these years were prophetic
years; they knew nothing about the
Julian calendar under which we live;
their years were years of twelve
months of thirty days each. 48x12x
30 would be 173,880 days. The com
mandment to restore and rebuild Je
rusalem was given, according to Sir
Robert Anderson, on the 14th of
March, B. C. 445; and this day on
which He was formally offering Him
self to the Jews as their king, as
foretold by Zechariah, upon a colt
the foal of an ass, was the 6th of
April, A. D. 32. And this was ex
actly 173,880 days.
In other words, Jesus was saying
to these people in effect: If you had
been studying your own prophets In
stead of trying to find fault with me,
you would have known that on THIS
THY DAY, THE DAY Ob’' THY
VISITATION, this 6th of April,
would have been the end of the sixty-\
nine weeks of Dapiel, and that on
this day your King would come to
you, meek a,nd lowly, riding upon
an ass, as foretold by Zechariah. Had
they known this, surely they would
not have rejected Him as they did!
These are very seripus days in
which we are living; there are proph
ecies being fulfilled which are just
as striking as these to which we
have been referring. Are you as
blind as these Jews were in the days
of His flesh? Or are you able to dis
cern the signs of the times, and are
looking for Him to return at any mo
ment? Do not think of setting any
definite day; that is something that
is known to God alone, artd with
which we have nothing to do. But
He does expect us to study tne
Word, and to keep our eyes open
to all the things that He is doing
in the world—and to be ready for.
Him whether He shall come at mid- ;
night, or in the evening, or at the
cock-crowing, or in the morning.
Are YOU ready?
i A Good Ration for Dairy Cow
C. M. S., Albany, Ga., writes:
I have the following ingredients
that I wish to make a balanced
ration out of for dairy cows:
Peanut vine meal, peanut meal,
cotton seed meal, velvet bean
and pods meal, and corn in the
shuck meal. Please let me know
how much of each to put in a
ton, and also how many pounds
to feed a cow.
Dairy cows, like all ruminating
animals, rejuire a considerable
roughage in their daily ration. You
may use shredded corn, sorghum
stalks, or well-cured hay made from
any of the leguminous crops for
this purpose. It is best to feed pea
nut vines whole rather than ground
up in theforrn of meal. Ruminating
animals ordinarily require two-thirds
of the ration in the form of rough
age and one-third in the form of
, concentrates. You can make a very
i excellent formula for the purpose
( you have in mind by mixing to
i gether equal parts of the five in-
I gredients mentioned in your letter.
Ordinarily, grain should be fed to
d airy cows at the rate of one to
| one and one half pounds per each 100
pounds of live weight. The rate of
feeding will cary, of course, with
the lactation period and the age and
size of the animals to be fed.
If you use the formula described
' in your letter, it will probably be
necessary to feedxthis material at
the rate of one and one-half to two
pounds per each 10 Opounds of live
I weight. Remember, that in addition
! to theformula indicated, you must
provide plenty of roughage. If you
have some winter grazing areas
- available, they can also be utilized
! to advantage; for cows, like folks,
I need plenty of greens in order to
keep their digestive system in good
condition and to supply them with
the necessary vatamines. The pal
j atability of dry roughage may be
increased by moistening it with wa
ter containing a little salt. A little
j dry hay placed in racks protected
from the weather will also be eaten
with relish. A varied ration will
prove the most palatable and profit
able as well. One who expects to
continue in the dairy business should
build a silo.

Mr. and Mrs. William H. Meyers, of Florida, the latter a promi

(Louise of Whittlesbacli)
Now Is Married to Florida
< Grower
MELBOURNE, Fla., Dec. 27.—“1
have found peace.”
In these words the one-time Prin
cess Louise, of Wittelsbach, writes
her epitaph on a life that made her
the most talked of woman in Vienna
court circles.-
Here, in the mellow warmth of a
Florida farm, she takes on in her
declining years the role of wife, of
W. 11. Myers, a plain and prosperous
American citizen.
Fortuitous circumstance rescued
her from the poverty that has visit
ed much of Europe’s royalty. She
had been, forced to work as a ser
vant, her daughter had taken the
nun’s veil and her son was a suicide.
Life was brewing a wormwood cup
for her ■wrinkled lips.
And then came a lonely* and kindly
Florida, man who read of the plight
of the once colorful court lady and
penned a wistful love note to her —
the sort of letter one might expect
from a somewhat bald “fairy prince”
upon whose life romance has brush
ed her hand ever so lightly. ,
“Why should you be so poor over
there, when I have so much and am
all alone? Won’t you come to Amer
ica and marry me?”
That was a portion of it, direct
and without equivocation.
Accustomed to Shocks
Princess Marie Louise, or the
Countess Larisch, if you prefer, is
accustomed to having the unexpected
happen. Court intrigue is never
written in terms of the commonplace,
and there was a time when polite in
trigue was her heart’s delight.
To Marie Louise it is all in a life
time.
She arrived recently, they were
married in Connecticut and now are
settled down in Florida.
“And I am so happy to find peace
and quiet,” she sighs.
“When one has lived through what
I have it is wonderful to find peace.
I am getting old. The exciting
things of youth are no longer of in
terest —except as memories.”
So, in the warm Florida after
noons, memory will fly back to the
gay court days and probably she will
spin such tales to her fond and proud
husband as will make time and place
seem to cease.
And if she does she may tell of
how the Prin'cess Marie Louise be
came favorite of her aunt,'Empress
Elizabeth, of Austria. In this role
she stood second to the throne in
social life. Her marriage to Count
Larisch .aristocratic member of the
Hapsburg dynasty, was arranged by
the empress and was staged with all
the splendor of court ceremony—in
striking contrast to the marriage in
a Connecticut justice’s courtroom.
Romance at Fifteen
And she may tell of how her love
life began at 15 when an old roue
begged her to elope, and of the melo
dramatic events that came in the
wake of the scandal at Meyerling,
involving the dashing Crown Prince
Rudolph, son of Francis Joseph, and
the Countess Vetsera. Count Ru
dolph had been married to .he Prin
cess Stephanie but chose to find his
love in the Countess Vetsera. One
day. in the story was given out, the
bodies of Rudolph and Vetsera were
found side by side—suicides.
At the time it was reported that
Marie Louise had had a hand in the
intrigues surrounding the young
royal lovers and was banished from
the court.
This she now denies, as she denies
that the pair committed suicide. She
hints a plot and says the Countess
Mary Vetsera is alive today, but her
face is terribly mutialted; that she
is in hiding in a German retreat.
Os such thrilling tales Marie
Louise has aplenty.
But they all are of her youth. Now
she would be a nice old lady ending
her days mellowly in the sun.
“I have found a wonderful peace,”
i she says.

ding could give her. Miss Pope,
however, determined to take mat
ters into her own hands and pro
cured a license, with which she walt
zed, at Billy’s bedside, in what proved
to be a vain hope that he would je
cover consciousness long enough to
marry her.
Denies Any Animosity
There was, and is, no animosity
between Mrs. Shepherd and himself
and Miss Pope, Shepherd declared.
They knew of the great love Billy
I held for hes- and did nothing to stop
the attentions Billy was paying Miss
Pope. She never was ordered from
the Shepherd home, but was once
requested by attending physicians
to cut her visits short in order that
the boy could have quieter surround
ings and because the cook had pro
tested against cooking extra meals
for her.
Shepherd was vehement in his de
nial that he had ever studied chem
istry or bacteriology or that he ever
l>ad been a registered pharmacist.
He said he had made frequent vis
its to a Chicago laboratory because
Mrs. McClintock’s physician, Dr.
Oscar- Olson, brother of Chief Jus
tice Harry Olson, had offices here,
(it was partly upon Judge Olson's
(suggestion that the present investi
| gation was begun.
“I never handled germs in any
form nor saw a germ test,” Shepherd
j asserted, “i was in the drug busi
ness with a brother-in-law in Salina,
Kas. My brother-in-law was a reg
iistered pharmacist, and when he
(died I hired another.”
Shepherd said he and his wife
I had a private income sufficient to
support them without receiving any
thing from the McClintock estate,
(lie said, however, that they would
’ have to give up their Kenilworth
; home if this were to be the case,
as their income did not approach
j SI,OOO a month.
( Shepherd, on hks arrival here to ap
pear before the state’s attorney in an,
I investigation of McClintock’s death,
announced hft would make an in
vestigation of his own before he was
[ through.
“I shall obtain full exoneration,”
( he said. “Then we are going to blow
up some people here.
; “It would seem necessary as a
I means of re-establishing my reputa
; tion,” he added in explaining his pur
pose of turning the tables on his ac»
( cusers.
Mr. Shepherd declined to say at
j this time what persons he suspected
as behind rumors reflecting upon
him which led finally to the present
( investigation.
| “It is my present intention to file
| libel suits,” he said in response to
an inquiry, “but the program is in
( the hands of Mr. Stoll and Edward
Hendrick his legal advisers.)”
Mr. Stoll said he had nothing to
say about libel suits at this time,
j “\Ve are still on the defensive,’’ he
said.
Says Judge's Attitude Puzzling
“I am at a loss to account for the
attitude of Judge Olson toward me
(Chief Justice Harry Olson of the
municipal court who has aided in
the investigation)” said Mr. Shep
herd. “I did not know I had any
enemies—except one man.”
Mr. Shepherd said he had sup
posed Justice Olson friendly. He
said the jurist’s brother. Dr. Oscar
Olson, deceased, had been his friend,
and “told me of his love for Billy’s
mother, though he never told her.”
The servant problem in a suburb
was responsible tor the discourage
ment of visitors at the McClintock
residence during “Billy's” illness, ac
cording to Mr. Shepherd. It was
stated at the state’s attorney's of
fice following examination of Miss
Isabelle Pope that the latter. Me
: Clintock’s fiancee, had said members
of her family had been requested to
( visit the home less frequently.
i Mr. Shepherd said the request dis
couraging visits at the McClintock
home had been made because “the
cook threat??.ed to leave. The sec
ond maid said if the cook left she
would go.”
The cook, he said, was Eva Nel
son, who today was mentioned in an
other connection at the state attor
ney’s office, as one of the witnesses
of McClintocks will. Miss Mary
Gertner, house maid, said ex
amination that when she waF in
service at the McClintock home she
and Eva Nelsen had been requested
by “Billy” to witness the will.
Says Doctor Barred Visitors
“It is hard enough to get new
servants in Kenilworth at best," said
Mr. Shepherd, “and would have been
impossible with illness in the fam
ily. Mrs. Shepherd could not have
managed the house alone, and Billy
would have had to go to a hospital.
I laid the situation before the doctor
and he made the request discourag
ing visitors.”
“I don't believe there is anything
in that,” said Mr. Shepherd, apropos
of a mentioned legend that the Mc-
Clintock fortune was “cursed.”
“The fortune came to this country
as the resuit of the marriage of an
E' glisb nobleman’s daughter tn a
I country squire.” he added. "From

THE HUNDREDTH WOMAN
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
(Copyright, 1924. by Public Led«w Company)
Lyra Graham is to be married
to Peter Griswold in three weeks.
Thomas Hunter, a friend of Mr.
Graham’s, is invited to come on
from the west for the wedding,
and in spote of Lyra’s scornful
treatment of him falls desper
ately in love with her. Lyra de
spises him for his lack of polish
and misses no opportunity to let
him know her feelings, but when
she discovers that he cares she
leads him on for t)ie fun of it.
CHAPTER XXII
Tex Takes a Chance
IYRA had been forced to give Tex
a dance, whether she would or
not. She had succeeded in«evad
ing him until after supper, but at
last he had made his way toward
her, and she had given him a waltz.)
To do this she had cut one of her
dances with Peter, but she had ex- (
plained this to him vary sweetly, and
Peter with the memory of his en
counter with her earlier in the eve
ning, had given up the dance with
good grace. K
Lyra did not want to dance with
Tex. He was too big, too awkward,
he made her feel ridiculous, she
could not stand the thought that
people were looking at her amusedly,
. but she comforted herself with the
knowledge that men would be sure
to cut in on them.
Tex did not understand this busi- (
ness of cutting in, and, when a man
walked up and deliberately took Lyra
out of his arms, his blue eyes flash
ed. But standing on the sidelines,
it did not take him long to under
stand the system, and when she (
danced near him he deliberately cut ■
in himself.
Lyra laughed. He was so grim, so
determined. He took everything so j
seriously. But when Peter tried to (
cat in on them, and Tex refused to i
give her up. holding her against him,
and dancihg her away before Peter
was aware of what was happening,
Lyra felt a vague premonition of
danger. However, this was gone in
a moment, gone because Lyra re
fused to admit that she was afraid
of anything. As if she couldn’t
manage any man, as if she were
afraid of any one or anything! And
to prove this to herself she went out
into the grounds with Tex after the
dance and strolled around for a !
while.
But the stones of the gravel path i
cut into her silver slippers, and aAer *
through marriage for several genera- i
tions.
“We did not care a thing about
Billy’s money; we loved him.
“Billy sent me a memorandum
while he was at Dartmouth of what
’he wanted embodied in his will. He )
had told me he meant to make a
will as soon as he was of age, and
that he wanted me to pi-epare it. I
submitted to him a draft. It was
his idea to make Miss Pope an an
nuity conditional upon her remain
ing single; I proposed that he give
her outright a definite part of his
property. He said he did not -want
another man, her husband, to spend
his money—a perfectly natural feel
ing.
Says Miss Pope Will Get Annuity
“I advised otherwise, but after
■ the course she has taken I doubt if
' i would give more than he intended.
If the will is unbroken she will get
every penny of her annuity.”
Asked about reports that the rel
atives might give her a share in the
estate if they were successful in i
overthrowing the will, he smiled: i
“Let her try to get it from them.” ,
Referring to quoted statements of
Miss Pope that she never has had ,
any suspicion of Mr. Shepherd, he (
said: “Why should she?”
Shepherd arrived in Chicago to-|
day from Albuquerque, N. M., to
take part in the investigation.
“I have come voluntarly from Al
buquerque,” said Mr. Shepherd, “to
answer such questions as may be
asked me and also to ask some ques
tions myself. I will seek a public ex
oneration as widespread as the pub
licity given the accusations ainst
me.”
“I want to get at the bottom of
this affair, and I want the legalized
authorities to do so,” Mr. Shepherd
added. “There is nothing to con
ceal.”
Typhoid Germs Revealed
The autopsy over the exhumed
body of McClintock has disclosed the
presence of typhoid germs, but has
I not determined the cause of death, ,
i according to Coroner Oscar Wolff. I
( En route to Chicago last night, I
Shepherd, at Kansas City, declared |
i he had “never seen a typhoid germ ]
in my life.”
He said he had gone to the lab
( oratory for treatments after an op
' eration. The entire investigation, ne
( said, has resulted from efforts of dis
tant relatives of McClintock in Kan
sas to have the will discredited be
cause they had not been included.
Breidigan’s statement was made
public by George E. Gorman, assist-
I ant state’s attorney, at the same i
j time that the prosecutor's office an
nounced it was investigating all pos-
( sibilities of the < jse, not excluding
( that of typhoid inoculation and im
proper feeding of the patient to
hasten or aggravate his illness.
Examination of Dr. Rupert Stolp,
who signed the death certificate jiv
ing typhoid as the cause of McClin
! tock's death, had failed to elicit any (
j confirmation of these possibilities,
Joseph Savage, assistant state’s at
j torney, said. Dr. Stolp disclosed, (
however, the prosecutor said, that
when he was first called in Novem- I
ber 23, McClintock seemed to be suf- (
sering from an affection of the nose ;
' and throat, and while he seemed very
i ill, showed no symptoms of typhoid
fever until a few days later.
Coroner's chemists said it would
i take two or thr-e more days to com
plete the analyses of the necropsy
i and determine the exact cause of
j death.
Nurse Questioned
Miss Maybel McClenahan, one of
th* nurses who attended McClintock,
was questioned by the state’s attor
ney today. She said that while the
| young man was ill, visitors general- j
ly were denied entrance to the sick i
! room but that Mrs. Shepherd, his
! foster mother and co-guardian, had
‘ said that “there will have to be an
exception as to visitors in the case
( of Isabel!,” meaning that his fiance, (
i Isabel! Pope, should be admitted. (
Miss Pope was there when she as
| sumed her duties, Miss McClenahan
■ said. She said she spoke to McClin- (
' tock of the necessity of excluding
visitors.
i “Not Miss Pope” she said he told
• her. She said she told him she would (
l ask the doctor, and later that Miss I
j Pope's visits were limited to a half ;
l hour each.
! The nurse said a "beautiful love”
seemed to exist for young McClin
( tock in the Shepherd home.
“I have been in many homes but
■ have never seen greater sorrow than
when the young man died,” she add- j
, ed.

a time she 1 suggested that they get
into Peter’s car. Looking at Tex
from under her lashes, she thought
idly how big he was, how much big
ger than Peter. He would never
con-promise with any woman, he
would have his own way, no matter
what happened.
He turned suddenly and met her
eyes. “Will you take a drive with
me?” he asked evenly.
Again that little feeling of fear
flashed up in Lyra and again she
resolutely crushed it back.
“I didn’t know you drove a car,”
she said sweetly. “Do you think you
could drive this one? It’s a foreign
make.”
She had no intention of going for
a drive with Tex, but before she,
knew what he intended to do, he had
pressed the starter and the engine
had thrilled into action.
Lyra’s heart quickened with alarm,
, and impylsively she leaned forward.
But she could not make her voice
heard above the roar of the engine,
and in a moment Tex had backed out
of the parking space and was whirl
ing down the long drive.
It was a copl September evening,
and Lyra pulled her evening wrap up
around her throat. The wind whist
ling in her ears blew strands of her
silvery hair loose, and as with one
hand she tucked them in, she leaned
forward and touched his arm with
the other.
But he seemed not to be conscious
of her touch. His gaze was bent
steadily of the road stretching out
before them. His mouth was set,
his chin squared, and slowly, slowly
the speedometer was mounting until
they were flying along at fifty miles
I an hour.
Lyra’s fingers on his arm tight
ened. She was angry now, angry
i and a little afraid. There was some
thing so indomitable about him. Out
( here he did not seem like the same
man. Surrounded by the hundreds
j and one accessories of her luxurious
environment, she had it in her pow
er to do as she liked with him. But
out here under the stars everything
was different.
“We must turn back, she said
sharply, and as she spoke he slack
ened his speed a little and turned
toward her. In his eyes as they met
hers, there was no embarrassment
now. Strangely blue, they beat down
i the fury in hers until she found
j it impossible to retain her dignity
, under the fire of them.
(To Be Continued.)
1 herd’s voice seemed to calm him. He
(had expressed his love for Mrs. Shep
herd, calling her “mother” in | her
i presence, the nurse said. She added
ithat she never had heard any talk
(of an immediate marriage.
I Mr. Shepherd telephoned to the
state’s attorney that he would ap
pear at his office at 2 p. m.
Mr. Shepherd prepared to take vig
orous action in his own behalf prior
to going to the state’s attorney’s of
fice and after a conference with his
partner indicated he expected to
seek legal redress against persons be
believed responsible for statements
made against him.
“After this investigation is all
over, we are going to blow up some
people here,” he asserted.
Asked if he intended to start libel
suits against the persons he referred
to, he said:
“That is my intention at present.
The program, however, is in the
hands of Mr. Stoll and Edward
Hedrick. Mr. Hedrick volunteered
to assist Mr. Stoll because he is my
friend and neighbor.”

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
DSAR MISS DIX—I have heard
of many women who married
men to reform them, but I do
not know that I have ever heard of
a man marrying a woman to reform
her. If a woman deserves and rte
ceives credit for marrying a man

for such a mo
tive, should not
a man who mar
ries a woman
for a similar mo
tive receive just
as much credit?
Would a man
of good repute
be justified in
marrying a
woman of the
underworld If he
were convinced
that he could in-
123456123456123456 fluence her to be
-123456123456123456 come a good
woman and a good wife, and if he.
cared enough for her to take the
chance of reforming her? How would
his friends look upon him for doing
this? If they censure him, why
should they blame him more than
a woman who married a rounder?
What chance of success would such
a union have?
INTERESTED.
Answer;
The woman who marries a man
to reform him, or the man who mar
ries a woman to reform her take a
foolhardy risk and nearly always
wreck their own lives without ben
efiting the erring one, for there is
something fundamentally wrong and
weak with any one who needs to be
reformed, and the man or woman
who will not go straight because
their own sense of honor, and hon
esty, and high principle demands it
,of themselves, is not likely to do so
for the sake of any mere husband
or wife. There is no moral surgery
by which we can implant backbones
in the spineless, and while there is
so much good matrimonial timber
going to waste, it seems foolish to
select a rotten plank upon which to
build your house of happiness.
So that’s that. I don’t think that,
many people give a. woman credit
for marrying a drunkard, or a gam
bler, or a roue, to reform him. Thev
think she is a fool. And they think
that a man who marries a fallen
woman or a drunken woman to je
form her is an even greater fool,
because the woman who strays off
the straight and narrow path goes
deeper into the pit than a man does,
and Is far harder to rescue. Also she
finds it far more difficult to come
back than a man does, because the
world judges her more severely and
punishes her more cruelly than it
does an erring man.
As to whether a man is justified
in marrying a woman of.the under
world, that depends on two things':
First, on the character of the wo
man, and, second, how ardently she
longs for the clean things of life,
how sincere is her repentance.
There are plenty of women who,
in the folly of their jouth, through
ignorance, through misplaced love
or under the stress of some great
temptation, have taken the wrong

step and been forced into a life they
loathed. They are never harlots at
heart. They loathes their calling,,
and if given a helping hand would
be only too glad to climb back int
respectability. But there are othe
women, sensual by nature, whos
every fiber is immoral. They ar
not amenable, to any good influence
and no man in the world can refornt
them.
Furthermore, before a man mar
ries a woman to reform her hi
should be very certain that his lov
for her is great enough to endur
the ostracism of his friends, becaus;
it will take years and years of clean
living for her to wipe out her past.
Os course,(iq strict justice, the wom
an who has lived an immoral lift
is no worse than the man who ha;
lived loosely; but, unfortunately, th'
world does ,not judge the malik*
It still draws its skirts away fror
the woman and invites her partne
in sin to dinner. And since this i
true, it makes marrying a woma
to reform her a very
thing for a man to do.

' holiday potations, entered an ice
I cream store in the neighboring vil
; lage of Naumberg and threatened to
; kill all the customers with a knife.
; He was bound with ropes only after
twelve men had joined in the fray.,
While on the way to the county
jail here In custody of the sheriff and

Falls to Lowville, i After another
j fight, Arlette was overpowered and
brought to the county jail.
