Hanby consults his friend Pel¬
ham. The family starts for the
new home. Appleton, a clerk of
-Bouglas and Smith, the agents
from whom Hanby bought the
Gray house, explains to Pelham,
that a dangerous pond near the
house. In which several children
have been drowned, has since
been filled in, but he urges Pel¬
ham to dissuade Banby from oc¬
cupying the Gray house. Hanby

taker was known to the police
as "Red Chapin" and had a bad
record. . Hanby considers asking
Leslie Barron, long an admirer
of-Celia, to join the house partv.
Mrs. Hanby declares she likes the
hpuse. Pelham becomes a mem¬
ber- of the household, with the
official title of “house detective."

members of the Hanby house¬
hold.
chapter v
During the weeks before the Dan-
6ys could occupy die Gray house
there were no more unpleasant mes¬
sages or telephonic communications
to. disturb them. Only one person
had Interested himself sufficiently to
call up Hanby at tils office.
The voice proclaimed itself as be¬
longing .to a name so Indistinctly
enunciated that Hanby was not sure
whetlier it was Bayles, Vales. Bailey
op Valley. When he tried to make
gure which..the voice replied with no
clarifying effect. Hanhy thought he
might get It later in the conversation
“1 am calling you up.” said the
stnrhger. "to congratulate you on your
purchase of the' Gray house. You
may, recall that we met some time
ago at the Metropolitan club.”
Hanby remembered lunching at this
distinguished club and being intro¬
duced to several influential men.
“Thank you.” he said cordially
“You know the house?”
“Very well. I looked over it re
cently• will) the intention of purchas¬
ing it, but die accommodation was in
sufficient. As you perhaps know, J
bought* a larger place at Wesfbury ’
Assuredly this was a Metropolitan
du,b member I Thirty rooms were not
enough for him.
“I want to ask you a special favor,”
the voice went on. “1 am deeply in¬
terested in ornithology. 1 have even
contributed, to the literature of the
subject. One of the reasons why I
Considered the Gray house was that
it offers a natural sanctuary for birds
There was a lake there, which was
filled in not long ago, and is now
covered with dense creepers and
flowering shrubs, innumerable birds

mean—immune from their winged en¬
emies and from man. I beg of you
to preserve tins retreat inviolate,
[htr rarer birds are dying out in an
alarming fashion.”
. ‘‘What exactly do yon want me to
do?” Hanby asked.
“1 w&nt you to do nothing. Leave
the place to die songsters. A bird
sanctuary is not unsightly. To me it
is beautiful. What, after all, are five
acres out ot two hundred? You will
„be rewarded by seeing some of our
most exquisite song birds.” The un¬
known ornithologist reeled off a list
of names that made his bearer dizzy
“Purple finch, vesper sparrow, song
sparrow, nuthatch, chickadee, oven
bird, junco, snowflake, phoebe, bobo¬
link, indigo bunting, rose-breasted
grosbeak, kinglet, wren and others.”
“It s a fine idea," said Mr. Hanby
warmly. “I'm glad you told me. I
was just going to have the place
cleared out. because i thought it was
useless. I tove birds myselt, and I'm
all for preserving them.”

dinner. His family was enthusiastic
“It’s "a beautiful idea,” said Dina
“1 was going to put a sunken rose
garden there, but we have heaps of
other places.”
“Why do birds go there?” Tiro
Hanby asked.
“Because they get food and water
there.” His father had refreshed his
' on the subject “There’s a
memory
< spring that keeps the sl<rubs and
. • bushes alive and flourishing. Black¬
berries and other wild -fruits and her
ries grow there in profusion .”
“Did you say that the man's name
was Bayles?" Dina asked.
“Or Bayliss, or Bailey—something
like that. He seemed to think that
1 ought to remember him. lie’s going
to call on us. He's probably a multi
millionaire. Tim. I’m going to put
yon on your honor not to Sit by that
sanctuary and snipe those trusting
warblers and orioles.”
Tint, Hanby’s second son. had a
shotgun and a small rifle, and a pas¬
sion for using them. A struggle went
on in him.
“I promise," he said.
Tim’s parents knew that, mis¬
chievous as tiie boy was, be would
keep his word. He solaced himself
with the thought that there were
nmiij rabbits to be had, not to men¬
tion crows, hawks, and bats.
“We are to regard ourselves as
guardians of the birds who trust us.
I look to the house detective to en¬
force these rules.”
“Aye, aye, chief!” said Bill Pel¬
ham.
“I like the idea of a house being a
sanctuary,” Hanby went on. ''Once
within its walls, and outside worries
may nor introduce. The Gray house
sanctuary—a place sacred to happi¬
ness! Happiness is not n vice, as
they used to regard it when my grand¬
parents were young. It’s a sacred
thing.”
“Listen to the crane talking 1” Celia
scoffed.
“Crane?” lie said.
“The ITankernne bird,” she laughed
“I'd rather he that than a mocking
bird,” her father countered. “Walt
till we get up there, mes enfants, and
I’ll undertake, old. decrepit, and pol
lyarinish though I may be, to beat you
at almost every sport there is—ten
ills, golf, swimming, and equitation.”
“When were you on a horse?”
Junior demanded.
Young Hanby had a wholesome re¬
spect for his father as an opponent
at tennis or golf, but he had never
Imagined him as setting out to witch
the world with noble horsemanship.
“Know, my son,” replied Hanby,
‘that, like all great Americans, 1 was
reared on a farm. Your grandfa
flier’s homestead bordered the beauti¬
ful stream after which 1 am named.
If there are any of the old-timers
left in that district, ask them what
sort of a seat I had on horseback, and
you will find that I rode In many a
pony race ere 1 was Tim’s age."
“The next thing to hear is that
mother rode over the jumps at the
Garden show,” said Junior.
“Your mother rode discreetly on a
side saddle years ago in Cleveland,”
said Dina; “and she is going to do it
again.”
"Junior,” said Bill Pelham, “never
think you can put over anything on
those parents of yours. It can’t be
done. It is my turn to state that in
my days of affluence I kept a saddle
horse at Durland's.”
With these kind Imt firm words the
Juvenile members of the linnliy clan
relapsed into sulky silence, convinced
against their will that, after all, they
were not (lie absolute It.
“I wish my family was like this,’
remarked Leslie Barron. “We do
nothing but quarrel at every meal.
That’s the main reason I’m going back
to New Haven. I believe happiness is
catching. 1 feel a different being
here.”
“Yon don’t mean you feel actually
happy here?” Celia asked.
“Absolutely,” he answered.
“Family, friends, ail I” Celia cried
“Look at a happy man, and Mien won¬
der what lie looks like when he’s

Les flushed a little.
“I feel happy inside,” he said, de¬
fending himself.
“He smiled last Tuesday after
noon,” Junior said. “1 saw him. Sure
he’s happy. Let him alone, Celia.”
“Shut up!” said Les. “She lets me
alone too much as it is. Dp there—”
“At Pine Plains,” Celia told him,
“Lona will be your constant com¬
panion.”
Lona was the sixteen-year-old girl,
now at boarding school.
“Not ttiis time,' Dina remarked

Sun Long Worshiped in Egypt and India
Since nothing was known of the ro¬
tation of the earth in the days of long
ago, one can easily imagine tmw very
real yet mysterious the movement of
the sun must have seemed and how
naturally it was an object of wonder
and reverence. The sun’s daily jour
ney, its contest with the darkness and
its final victory at the dawn of the
new day are ideas which have led to
endless stories.
Ita, the great sun god of the Egyp¬
tians, was thought to travel in a ship
across the wuters of- the sky by day
and return during the night through
the kingdom of the dead. This god
was always represented either as a
hawk or as a man with a hawk's head
in accordance with the belief that the
hawk always flies toward the sun.

ships him. He has driven her abroad,
and now he laughs at the havoc he
has wrought!”
**»*»»•
When built, at the end of the
Eighteenth century, the Gray house
had been a square mansion of stone In
twenty acres of meadow land inclosed
with a five-font wall. Succeeding ten¬
ants had enlarged it to its present
size, and had acquired two hundred
acres more of meadow and woodland.
Ivy, Virginia creeper, wistaria, and
trumpet vine fought for its walls,
giving it a softness of outline of
which its builder could not have
dreamed.
Very strongly built, its exterior was
in perfect condition. War had passed
it by, and time had treated it gently.
Before the Hanbys moved into it, a
careful renovation of the Interior had
given it a new and dignified beauty.
The grounds had been molded to the
new owner’s desires. The Hanbys
had moved from a duplex apartment
into a satisfying home.
Dina breathed a sigh of content.
“I have always wanted just such a
place as this,” she said, squeezing her
husband's hand.
“You never told me so,” he replied
reproachfully.
“I thought it was the unattainable,”
said Dina. “Let’s go through every
single room together. It’s a home for
our children, and Celia’s children, and
the children of Celia’s children. It’s
adorable! i didn’t know the hall was
as big as this,” she added, pausing In
a lofty apartment thirty feet long and
nearly as wide. “This wasn’t accord¬
ing to tiie plans, surely?”
“I had it altered,” Hanby told her,
“Incidentally, 1 had to reduce our
thirty rooms to twenty-eight. Isn’t
this a whale of a place for dances?’
Eagerly he pointed out the great open
fireplace. “The flue goes right up
through the center of the house
That’s a valuable feature. No heat
is lost, ns It would be if the shaft
were on the outside."
Dina moved toward It. Over the
green marble mantelpiece was some
tiling carved in old-English letters:
“THE SANCTUARY CLUB
"Rules
“No member shall do or say any¬
thing of which another member dis¬
approves.
“No member shall disapprove of
what any oilier member says or does.”
“Gels ’em coming and going!’’
laughed Hanby. “Great idea, isn’t
Ir? Now for the billiard room. That’s
for Bill’s special benefit. He can
trim any amateur that holds a cue."
Dina looked from her own windows
down on the tangled thatch of hush,
bramble, and flower that was sacred
to the birds.
“There’s a scarlet tnnager,” she
cried. “Look, Uil—the beautiful
thing!”
From another window tiie glittering
lake could be seen. As she looked.
Celia, Les, and Junior, in bathing
kit, raced toward it. Tim was else¬
where. bent on slaying rabbits. There
was not a hint in the whole place of
the tragedies which had happened
within its hounds. Summer bragged
on every tree.
The first dinner was one of those
happy functions at which every one
talks vivaciously and no one troubles
to listen. Exclarnutiop points ended
every sentence. Les smiled openly
and the house detective was off duty
“My job’s a sinecure,” said Bill Pel¬
ham. “I really had no right to take
it, after accepting the honor of heing
hoe man in chief to Dina.”
“Your work begins tomorrow,” Mrs.
Hanby told him. “I want you to sur¬
vey a place for a sunken rose gar¬
den."
“i’ll set the alarm for daybreak,” he
said.
He was up very early next morning
Only Tim, rifle in hand, equaled him.
Tim was after the early rabbit and
the unheeding squirrel. Pelham had
decided on a location for the rose
garden when Celia stopped before
him.
“ ‘To labor that, we love we rise
betimes, and go to It with delight,’ r
he quoted.
Celia sat down on a grassy bank.

In India the sun was worshiped as
the god Agrii, who rode in a shining
chariot drawn by blood-red horses. Ie
ancient Hindu art this goideri-hairec
god was portrayed as having a double
face, seven tongues and seven arms.
The number seven was held sacred by
the Hindus and was thus employed tc
symbolize the numerous and varied
duties performed by Agnl.

IC—Taking a Real Part in Worship.

IC—Common Worship and the Com¬

t. The Place of the Bible in Worship
(Neh. 9:1-12).
L The reading of God’s word (w.
1-3).
(1) The eager assembly (v. 1). The
people gathered themselves together
.and requested. Ezra to bring the book
of the law. God had touched their
hearts, creating within them a yearn¬
ing for His Word.
(2) it was a representative assem¬
bly (v. 2). it was made up of men,
women and children. God’s Word
should be taught to all classes, men,
women and children.
(3) An apprefcintive assembly (v. 3).
So eager were they to know God’s
Word that they did not get tired, al¬
though the lesson lasted five or six
hours. Their ears were attentive from
morning until midday.
2. The attitude of the people toward
God’s Word (vv. 4-6).
(1) They reverenced It (vv. 4, 5).
When Ezra opened the law ail the
people stood up out of respect for
God’s VVord.
(2) They joined heartily in the
prayer (v. C). As Ezra led them In
prayer, they united in saying. Amen,
Amen, bowing their faces to the
ground.
3. God's Word being Interpreted
(vv. 7, 8).
(1) Ezra stood np where the peopl*
could see him (v. 5).
(2) lie read distinctly (v. 8). The
manner in which many rend the Scrip¬
tures greatly discredits them.
(3) He caused the people to under¬
stand the reading (v. 8). The supreme
business of the minister is to make
the Word of God plain to all, old and
young.
4. Effect of the application of God’s
Word upon the life of the people (vv.
9- 12).
(1) Conviction of sin (v. 9).
The divine method of convicting
men of sin is the application of God’s
Word in the energy of tiie Holy
Ghost.
(2) Weeping turned into joy (vv.
10- 12). Forgiveness follows 1 lie rec¬
ognition and confession of sin.
(3) Their blessings were shared
with others (vv. 10-12).
II. Jerusalem the World’s Central
Place of Worship (Micah. 4:1, 2).
1. Its place of supremacy (v. 1).
Iri the last days, Messiah’s king¬
dom, with Jerusalem as its capital,
shall prevnil over all kingdoms.
2. The peoples, Jews, shall flow unto
It (v. 1). It will be a beautiful sight
to see the Jews who have been scat¬
tered all over the world come to
Jerusalem as a mighty flowing stream.
3. The Genlile nations shall go
there to worship (v, 2).,
4. The supreme purpose of their
going will be to be taught of God,
that they may walk in His ways
(v. 2).
What a wonderful day when all
peoples of the world shall worship
together in God’s holy temple!
III. The Song of the Worshipers
(Ps. 122:1-9).
This psalm is one of the songs
sung by the Jews as they made their
pilgrimages to Jerusalem to worship
at the great festivals. This song em¬
bodies the following great Ideas:
1. Tiie joy of the worshipers (vv.
1 , 2 ).
The Invitation to go up to the house
of the Lord to worship stirred within
them delightful emotions.
2. Love and admiration for God’s
house (vv 3, 4).
We should go to the house of wor¬
ship because we love the place. Like
Jesus, we should regard it as our
Father’s house.
3. It was the seat of royalty (v. 5),
When Christ’s kingdom shall be es¬
tablished in Jerusalem, worshipers
will delight to journey there because
of their love for Him.
4. Prayer for God’s house; prayer
for the peace of Jerusalem (vv. 6-9).
It is our duty as well as privilege
to pray for Israel. God blesses those
who are kindly disposed toward His
chosen people (Gen. 12:1-3).
One Way to Help God
There is out one way in which man
can ever help Jod—that is by letting
God help him: and there is no way
in which His name is more guiltily
taken in vain than by calling the
abandonment oi our own work, the
performance of His.—Buskin.
The Book of God and Prayer
Give tiie Book of God its place In
prayer. Prayer Is not talking to God
simply; it is listening first, ther
V'ennese Chefs Given
Highest European Rank
In the cookery competition among
England, India, the United States,
France, Germany and Austriu at the
international exhibition of gastronom¬
ic art at Frankfort-on-the-Main the
Austrian team, consisting of nine
leading cooks, was tiie winner. The
Austrians received six golden crosses
of honor and three prizes and diplo¬
mas of honor, writes the Vienna cor¬
respondent of the London Sunday Ob¬
server. The Viennese menu was unan¬
imously declared to be excellent, and
a leading German expert said that the
finest of tiie exhibition.
Tiie special Viennese dishes were
even more successful than the inter¬
national courses prepared by tiie Aus¬
trians. They were all consumed each
day by visitors to the exhibition by
2:00 p. in , though they ought to have
lasted until S :00 p. in. The Viennese
feel, flattered that the English hotel
proprietors have invited them to an
exhibition in London.
Cynic Tells Why Girls
Yawn on Way to Work
“The latest trick of the smart aleck
stenog. and shop girl on the early
morning trains,” growled the cynic,
“is to start yawning in order to con¬
vey the impression to the other pas¬
sengers that they are hard-boiled
birds who have been up all night—
that being the hallmark of the real
thing in New York.
“Those who really have slept all
night pull fake yawns easy to spot,
but they get away with it: and are
looked on with envy by those who
lead simple lives.
“The great trouble with the yawn¬
ing fad is that a yawning stenog.
starts those opposite her to yawning
and the whole carload of passengers
gets infected.
“But it’s great to see these would
be hot dogs showing off.”—New York
Sun.
Very Green
The following is stated to be true—
but not by us!
The owner of a cattle ranch near
Wann, Okla., worried because his pas¬
tures were dry and his cattle were not
fattening. So lie bought 500 pairs of
green goggles and fitted them on Ills
cows.
The animals were shipped to'market
in prime condition, and the rancher
insists it was because (hey ate the
shrivelled grass which looked green
through the spectacles.—London Tit
Bits.
Pills to Fight Epidemics
Medical officers of India are interest¬
ed in the inoculation against cholera,
typhoid and dysentery by pills instead
of by injection. The method, a dis¬
covery of Professor Besredka of the
Pasteur Institute of Paris, is favored
by Dr. N. De Zoysa, chief medical offi¬
cer of the protective self-vaccination
campaig.i in India, who says that by
means of the self-inoculation pills the
masses who are noi reached by doctors
could protect themselves at first signs
of an epidemic.
Use for Old Car Hoods
On (lie Amos Tanner farm at Kier
pont, Ohio, are many chicken coops
and all of them are automobile hood
covers from ancient curs that have
been scrapped. A few boards fastened
over the ends, with a hole cut for an
entrance, and the chickens have a
durable, comfortable nesting place. The
louvers in the sides give ample ven¬
tilation and at the same time exclude
rain.—Indianapolis News.
Make-Up for Make-Believe
A school has been opened in Berlin
where embryo actors and actresses are
taught the art of make-up. The stu¬
dents not only learn how to mix and
apply colors, but are taught to observe
characteristics of persons in every
grade of life, so that individual pe¬
culiarities may lie copied and accent¬
ed In the make-up.
Mystery
Senator Reed Smoot, in a talk on
prosperity, remarked:
“Maybe we are prosperous and may¬
be not, hut this one tiling I will say
and that is:
“For at least one-half the American
people the world’s greatest mystery is
how the other half Can afford to keep
the cars they do.’’
Truth
We are born to inquire after truth;
it belongs to a greater power to pos¬
sess it. It is not, as Democritus said,
hid In the bottom of the deeps, hut
rather elected to an indefinite height
in tiie divine knowledge.—Michael de
Montalgue (1533-1592)—“Of the Art

Turk Fashion Rule Ends
As the result of two tilts over com¬
pulsory fashion, the women of Turkey
are wearing what they please without
interference. According to the latest
reports when Mustapha Kemal ordered
them to give up the veil even women
who for years had never worn veils
appeared in them. Then the govern¬
ment ordered the women to wear veils,
and at once they appeared unveiled.
Mustapha’s successor has now decided
to leave women’s fashions alone.
