THE STORY
Returning to London, practi¬
cally penniless, after an unsuc¬
cessful business trip, Sir George
Sandison takes dinner with his
widowed stepmother, his old
nurse, “Aggy.” He did not ap¬
prove of her marriage to his fa¬
ther, but her explanation satis¬
fies him. Little is left of the es¬
tate, and Lady Sandison proposes
that they go to tho United States
to visit her brother, Robert Mac¬
Beth, wealthy contractor. Sir
George agrees. MacBeth lives on
an Island estate with his daugh¬
ter, Roberta, who longs for city
life. MacBeth is a victim of ar¬
thritis and almost helpless. Mac¬
Beth is glad to see his sister and
asks the two to stay. Roberta
is keeping a date with Jack Na¬
varro, about whom she knows
little. MacBeth arranges for his
sister to take charge of the
household and George to act as
secretary. Roberta does not ap¬
prove of the arrangement. She
tells her father she is not inter¬
ested in George, while the young
man takes an air of indifference
to her. MacBeth tells George
about trouble he has had over
the pay roll and arranges for
Roberta to introduce George at
the bank and later take the
money to the workmen.
CHAPTER IV—Continued
— 10 —
Roberta arrived at her father’s chair
and listened impatiently to his pro¬
posal, her eyes blazing with Indigna¬
tion. “Why can’t some one else take
him down to the village? I don’t like
him. 1 think he’s the most disagree¬
able young man I ever knew and I
simply don’t see why August can’t
drive him.”
He looked at her a little sadly:
“Surely, Roberta, even the most mod¬
ern of daughters would not think It
extraordinary If her father, who can¬
not do It himself, asked her to Intro¬
duce his secretary at the bank and
also take him up the river to show
him the viaduct job.”
“It Isn’t that,” Roberta said sullenly,
not a little ashamed of herself.
"Then what Is It?” her father asked,
and there was a tired note In his voice
as well as exasperation.
“I have on engagement for today.”
“That’s too bad. I'm afraid I’ll have
to ask you to cancel It. What I ask
won’t wait It's business.”
“I can’t—” Roberta began and then
stopped. “I don't want to cancel It,
Father. Can’t we manage it some
other way? I could get one of the
hoys down at Green Bend to take him.”
He hesitated and then decided to
trust her. “There's been a little dilil
culty about the payroll in the city,
and I’m not going to risk any outside*
knowledge of how much money I have
here or what 1 am asking Sir George
to do for me.”
Roberta stiffened. “You mean you
won’t let me off.”
Her father shook his head wearily;
“I have explained why.”
“No, 1 don’t think you have. You've
lust given me an order and apparently
business comes before anything else.”
“It does just now.” MacBeth said
It slowly. “I wish you could see It as
I do, Bobble. The money Isn't just
money and the loss of It wouldn’t be
lust the money loss. 1 have insured
the payroll. It’s a matter of keeping
faith with the men. The money means

these men and they depend on me to
deliver It to them on the day I've
promised It. I can remember when
you were a wee thing, ltobhie, how
much my weekly wage meant to your
mother and to me.”
He had used the little old pet name
that had been given her as a baby, but
tt. did not soften Roberta. She stood
silently regarding him, searching In
her ntlnd for some plea that would
make him listen. She knew now, by
the look In her father's eyes, that it
was hopeless. She must either do
this thing or precipitate a final quar¬
rel, that would leave her notning to
do but go away at once. She was not
vet prepared for flight. She might
have to come to it some day and soon.
but not now.
She lifted her eyes and saw the
blue car still stationary. She raised
her arm and waved twice over her
head, the signal they had both agreed
upon as “Wait for me,” and then
turned to her father. "I'll go and
break the engagement then. But I
shan’t forget. Father. You owe me
something for this.”
She was gone before Robert Mac¬
Beth could say anything, and the next
minute was running down the beach
to the bridge.
By the blue car a very angry young
man stood waiting.

“Awfully good of you,” Sir George
said mechanically, wishing that he
might ask her a question or two about
the lad in the blue car.
As though answering his thought,
she continued with a disdainful
grimace. “Entertaining here’s the last
scream in old-fashioned stuff. It will
be a mixture of old and young.”
“Is the man I saw this morning one
of the ‘young’?"
Roberta stopped short, flushed and
answered him slowly: “No, he doesn’t
belong about here."
“Sorry. Ills face Interested me.”
“Oh, you will probably see him
again,” answered Roberta lightly, but
though Sir George nodded, he noticed
she did not give him the man’s name,
and she had not made the slightest
effort to introduce him this morning.

Unique Church Used by Benedictines as Shrine
When one thinks of a famous church
one naturally thinks of one great in
age, great in architecture or great in
its historic associations. One finds
none of these characteristics in the
little church on the Kentucky side of
the Ohio river, and so, perhaps, one
can hardly refer to It in the same
manner one refers to Westminster,
Colgate, Notre Dame or Santa Sophia.
It may not be a famous church, but
it is at least unique, for it is the
smallest church in the world, capable
of accommodating but three or four
worshipers, says the Cincinnati En¬
quirer. The small brick structure was
built in 1890 by some brothers of the
Benedictine order, who used it as a
shrine during the years they were
engaged there in the making of sac¬
ramental wine. During the years of
its use it contained an altar, the usual
church candles, a crucifix aud pews
Gigantic Strides Made
in Mail Transportation
Ninety-five years ago Marcus Whit¬
man and Rev. Samuel Parker start¬
ed for the Pacific Northwest to study
this field for Indian missions for the
American board. Whitman turned
back, but Parker came through and
scouted the Northwest with thor¬
oughness and understanding. He
penetrated to the Spokane and Col¬
ville valleys and descended the Co¬
lumbia.
We are connecting that service
and that year of 1835 with the in¬
teresting fact, noted by the Post Of¬
fice department, that 95 years ago,
on August 25, 1835, United States
mail was first carried by railroad.
The formal opening of a railroad
between Washington and Baltimore
marked the beginning of the railway
mail service. In the fiscal year
trains carried mail a total distance
of 270,504 miles. In the fiscal year
1929 the total mileage in transport¬
ing mail by train was 269,831,975—
approximately 1,000 times the mile¬
age of the fifst year.—Spokane

Oil should clean and protect

The oiling of household devices
presents a problem different from
that of factory equipment, says a
nationally known housekeeping ex¬
pert. Household appliances are not
used constantly and therefore collect
dirt and rust when idle. Conse¬
quently, oil intended for general
household use should clean and pro¬
tect as well as lubricate.

eral, vegetable and animal oils, does

Healthy Woman
watch your Bowels!
What should women do to keep
their bowels moving freely? A doc¬
tor should know the answer. That
is why pure Syrup Pepsin is so
good for women. It just suits their
delicate organism. It is the pre¬
scription of an old family doctor
who has treated thousands of wom¬
en patients, and who made a spe¬
cial study of bowel troubles.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is
made from fresh, laxative herbs,
pure pepsin and other harmless in¬
gredients. It doesn’t sicken or
weaken you. No restrictions of
habit or diet are necessary while
taking it. But its action is thor¬
ough. It carries off the sour bile
and poisonous waste. It does every
thing you want it to do. It is fine
for children, too. They love its
taste. Let them have it every time
their tongues are coated or their
skin is sallow.
When you’ve a sick headache, can’t
eat, are bilious or sluggish; and at
tlie times when you are most apt to
be constipated, take a little of this
famous prescription (all druggists
keep it ready in big bottles), and
you’ll know why Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin is the favorite lax
ative of over a million, women!
