SYNOPSIS
Molvxing’ through Vermont, Philip
Starr, young Boston architect, meets
Blanche Manning. seventeen, with
whom he is immediately enamored. It
being a long distance to Burlington,
Starr’s destination, Blanche suggests,
the village of Hamstead not boasting
a hotel, that he become, for the night,
a guest of her cousin, Mary Manning.
Mary receives Philip with true Ver¬
mont hospitality, and he makes the
acquaintance of her cousin Paul, rec¬
ognized as her fiance. Starr informs
her of his desire to win Blanche for
his wife. She tells him of an old
family superstition concerning the
"Blanches" of the Manning family,
ipaul Manning is inclined to be dissi¬
pated. Mary’s reproaches for his "con¬
viviality" are badly received by Paul.
Gale Hamlin, long a suitor for Mary’s
hand, visits Hamstead but makes no
progress in his lovemaking. Philip,
from records of the Manning family,
learns the sorrowful story of the
"Countess Blanche," French wife of a
Revolutionary hero, Moses Manning,
and of the peculiar "curse" she has
transmitted to her descendants and
the women of Hamstead. The evening
of Philip's marriage to Blanche. Paul,
under the influence of liquor, bitterly
affronts Mary, and tells her their en¬
gagement Is ended Mary, at first
awutely conscious of her position as a
"jilted" woman, is greatly comforted
by her lifelong friend, Sylvia Gray.
CHAPTER VII—Continued
— 8 —
Silently Mary brought the little
white china cup painted with blue¬
birds to the child. He drained it at a
gulp.
••More,” he announced cheerfully,
handing it back to her.
Mary filled the mug a second time,
and as she did so, site could see the
rest of the family, in the new automo¬
bile, starting for the performance of
“The Merchant of Venice” at the an¬
nual Chautauqua entertainment at
Wallacetown. She knew the play al¬
most by heart, loved every word of it,
had never seen it given, and even the
little mediocre traveling company that
was to play it, could, with her own
knowledge of it, have given her a
glimpse into fairyland if she could
have heard it. And none of the others
cared for Shakespeare, or were in the
least familiar with him. They were
simply going because it was “part of
this year's program," because every¬
one else was going, because Paul wel¬
comed any excuse to drive the car and
Violet any excuse to be seen in it,
and Jane and Seth any excuse to go
to a play which could not, of course,
be wicked, since it was “classic." No
one had even suggested staying home
with the children so that she could go.
“Can’t I have a piece of candy?"
was Algy's next question, as she
reached the crib which stood by her
bed. “I ben a good boy all day,
haven’t I, Mary?”
"Tes. dear, pretty good. Where Is
your bag of lemon drops?”
"In my top bureau drawer. Bring it
here, go’s I can choose.”
The bag was brought and a frag¬
ment carefully selected.
“I wish you’d stay with me for a
while. Mary. I got a sorter pain In
my leg.”
“A snarp pain, or an ache?”
"No-o, Just a regular pain. I think
maybe it would feel better if you
rubbed It for a while.”
Mary uncovered the plump, brown
legs and rubbed them briskly. ‘Tve
got to go now and hear Moses’
prayers.” she said at last, thinking
that sign* of drowsiness were finally
beginning to be evident.
But Moses was not feeling devo
tional. He was constitutionally irre
ligious, and now that he attended kin¬
dergarten, the morning exercises at
school seemed to him more than suf¬
ficient for his spiritual needs.
“I ain’t a-goin’ to say the Lord's
prayer tonight,” he announced with
decision. “I said it this mornin' at
school.”
“Very well, say ’Now I lay me.’ ”
“Now i lay me,” began Moses with¬
out much fervor, "down to sleep . .
when a loud crash and a wail of dis¬
tress from the next room.
"Oh, Mary, I’ve dropped my blue¬
bird cup! It’s bro-o ken . .
Mary rushed to Algy’s side and
gathered him, dripping wet, into her
arms. On the floor, in a pool of water,
lay the beloved mug broken Into frag
ments, while ibe crib, as well as Algy
himself, was deluged by Its contents.
"Don’t cry. darling! It’s a shame,
but Mary will buy you another just
like it, only prettier, maybe, the next
time she goes to Wallacetown. Hush,
honey. Bet Mary put you in bed

was urged to continue his devotions.
"I don’t see why f should say. ’If l
should die before 1 wake.’ I’ve said it
and said it. and I ain’t never died
at all.”
"Well, say Just ’God bless’ tonight,
then." and
"God bless Baddy and Mary
Algy.” mumbled -Moses glibly, "and all
my d»ar friends, and make me a good
boy, and bless Cousin Jane and Cousin
Violet and Blanche. You needn't bother
about Paul, lie snitched my wood
chuck trap. Amen. . ■ • Now sing
me ‘The Sugar Plum Tree,’” he com¬
manded, climbing into bed and settling
himself on his pillow.
Mary began It bravely enough. But
the reference to Pan! was too much
for her. Before she reached the Choco¬
late Cat she found she could not
go on.
“I m afraid 1 can’t finish ’The Sugar
Plum Tree' tonight, darling.” she said
abruptly, bending over to kiss him;
and in spite of her, some hot tears fell
down on bis face. Then site fled from
the room.
Moses lay for a long time wide
eyed and pondering He loved Mary
as he loved no one else in the world,
and Mary, plainly, was very unhappy.
He tried to think of recent misdeeds
that lie himself had committed, but
his slate was fairly clean. Then he
remembered that once before, early
in the summer, he had caught her cry
ihg, and when he had pressed her, she
had said she was worried over Paul.
Mary never mentioned Paul now—still
that might be the trouble, just the
same. It was too bad that Mary
should cry over him, particularly when
he deserved it so little, but if no one
else would comfort her Moses would.
He sought about in his mind for the
quickest and best means to this end.
Moses always slept with a small
Canton-flannel dog named Spotty, to
which he had been devoted from in¬
fancy, It had gone through numerous
vicissitudes. More than once it had
fallen in the brook, but Mary bad al¬
ways fished it out, and dried it in the
oven. And one night he had ripped it
open and devoured most of its lining—
an experiment which had proved very
disastrous to both. But Spotty still
survived. Moses made a sudden re¬
solve.
He hugged Spotty and kissed what
remained of his nose. He gulped as
he did it. Never, since he could re-

All That, Believe Me!”
member, had he gone to sleep without
first laying his head on the cherished
toy. Then lie picked it up and pat¬
tered info Mary’s room.
It was as he had expected. Mary
was lying on her bed, weeping. Moses
held out his hand.
“Don’t cry any more, please, Mary,”
he said softly. "I’ve brought Spotty
to sleep with you.”
It was then that Mary realized that
she had found a second source of com¬
fort in Moses. Most of her unhappi¬
ness had been caused by selfishness,
Moses was willing to make, for her,
what was to him a tremendous sacri¬
fice. She drew the child, with his
little. Canton-flannel dog still In his
hand, into bed with her and cried
without restraint, holding him in her
arms. Moses lay solemn and silent,
asking no questions, making no over¬
tures, But she could feel his sympa¬
thy in every curve of his warm little
body. Gradually she relaxed, a sense
of peace, of compensation, of content¬
ment, stole over her. She fell asleep,
her cheek against her little brother’s.
Things never seemed half so hard
again.
CHAPTER VIII
Meanwhile, Paul, instead of rejoic¬
ing in his longed-for liberty, was find¬
ing it utterly "dull, flat, stale and un¬
profitable.”
In the first place, living at close
quarters with his mother's “nerves,”
unrelieved by Blanche’s sunny pres¬
ence or the ready escape to Mary’s
house which had always been open
to him, was not a pleasant experience,
as has already been hinted. But this
was by no means all. For a day or
two after his sister's wedding he was
really ill. As soon as he was suffi¬
ciently recovered, however, he made
his way. feeling very blithe and un¬
shackled, to call on Rosalie.
"I'm right in the midst of packing,”
she announced, "I haven't much time
to spare. I’m going back to New York
on the midnight”
Paul strove to express his regret.
“Don’t you go getting fresh with
me!” said Miss King, crisply. “I’m
not that kind and you needn't forget
it, little one. . . . Why didn't you tell
me you was engaged to that good
looking cousin of yours? My, but
she’s a looker!”
“I’m not engaged to her,” said Paul
shortly.
"Oh. she’s thrown you over, has
she?” jeered Rosalie. “Well, I should
think she would. She can do a lot
better than you. Kittle Boy Blue, even
if you behaved yourself instead of
hitting it up all summer like you've
been doing. That Mr. Hamlin from
CLEVELAND COURIER
Boston Is sweet on her all right, and
he’s some swell, believe me
”It was me that broke the engage¬
ment,” said Paul, stiffly and ungram
matlcaliy.
Rosalie stared at him speechlessly
for a moment. But only for a mo¬ I
ment.
“So that’s the kind of a bird you are
is it?” she inquired with immeasur¬
able scorn. "Well, I've heard a lot
about ‘ancestors’ since I struck this
burg, and I don’t deny that you've got
something to be proud of along that
line. The men that came up here—to
say nothing of the women that came
with 'em—and just got settled when
the Revolutionary war broke out, and
were willing and glad to strike out
again and fight for their country, were
sure all wool and a yar< wide and
then some. But I guess if they could
look up or down now, as the case may
be, and see their descendants wearing
out the seats of their trousers sitting
on the post office steps and saying
what they'd do if they was President,
or standing on the curbstone in Wal
lacetown thinking they're having the
h—1 of a time because they've got a
couple too many drinks Inside of them
and are talking to some skirt they
wouldn't introduce to their mother—
I guess them old captains and judges
and governors would think the good
old stock had run down to a pretty
poor line of goods! I got a fellah in
New York—floor walker on the eighth
—who doesn't know who his father
was, let alone any great-grands! But
he’s white clean through for all that,
believe me! If he could have your
chance, m.v! what he’d have done
with it! A good home and money for
an education and a lady for a sweet¬
heart! And you've turned up your
ugly nose at all of them—while he’s
had to climb out of the gutter on his
way to decency without a soul to help
him. But he's got there, nil right. I’ve
written Steve that if he still wants a
girl who’s been fool enough to play
round all summer with a stupid rube
that was another girl’s beau, he can
have her. and he's telegraphed back
prepaid that he'd be waiting in the
Grand Central right by the gate on
Thursday.”
Rosalie having departed without fur¬
ther delay to smooth things out with
Steve, tiiat episode seemed to be
closed, and Paul felt that he had rea¬
son to hope that it would he a long
time before anyone made him so
thoroughly uncomfortable again. But
he was mistaken. The next person to
treat him harshly was Doctor Noble.
Meeting the boy one day on the road,
down which Paul was wandering some¬
what aimlessly, David brought his mo¬
tor to a stop and hailed him.
“Just the person I've been hoping
to see,” he remarked pleasantly. "I
wanted to speak to you about your
fiancee. I'm worried about her. I
don't think she’s looking at all well.”
"If you mean my cousin. Mary Man¬
ning.” said Paul with forced dignity,
“she isn't my fiancee.”
"Oh,” said David still pleasantly.
"Well—of course that must he a great
disappointment to you, hut perhaps
it’s al! for the (test. Of course your
tastes wouldn't be particularly con¬
genial. Mary has such a fine mind. . . .
Well, 1 must pass along the good news
to Thomas Gray tlie next time I sea
him, if he hasn't heard it already. I
believe he thought, with considerable
regret, that you bad the right of wsy
in that quarter."
Paul glared. People seemed bent on
reminding him that Mary was not,
after all, in the least dependent upon
him for masculine attentions. It hurt
his pride.
“The war news isn't very good, is
it?” went on David with an abrupt
change of subject. “Ever thought of
enlisting in the Foreign legion?”
“Lord, no!” Paul exclaimed. "Why
should T?”
“Why, you're exactly, the sort of
chap for it! No ties of any kind, in¬
dependent income, fine constitution—”
“Farmers can't be spared.’’ quoted
Paul hurriedly, recalling statistics he
had happened to read in some news¬
paper. “It takbs five men In the field
to keep one at the front. And I've
got heart trouble,” he went on, grow¬
ing very red and writhing more and
more at David’s pleasant voice.
“Hard luck! But are you sure?
Been examined lately? Well, come up
to the house some evening and let me
look you over. Some evening soon.
I’m going across myself, very shortly,
as a member of one of the Harvard
medical units. We’ll be connected
with the British army. Jacqueline's
going to take up some branch of Red
Cross work—nursing, probably. It
isn't as if—we had any children,”
ended David a little wistfully. “I’m
sure Austin Gray would have done
something long ago If it hadn't been
for Sylvia. Naturally any man that's
fortunate enough to get a family like
that makes it his first consideration as
tong as he can. Well, good-by.”
Paul began to feel very sorry for (
himself. Public opinion, which he had
at first thought to be wholly on his
side, seemed to be gradually, but none
the less surely, swinging the other
way. If the older women still chat¬
tered against Mary, the younger ones
spoke differently, and none of them
would have anything to do with him
He led an unappreciated existence,
after twenty-one petted years. As for
the men, he thought they were actual¬
ly beginning to go out of their wa?
to be disagreeable to him and pleasant
to Mary. He found himself virtually
ostracized in Hamstead. and neither
White Water nor Wallacetown, though ,
he tried them both, seemed to furnish j
either lasting stimulation or lasting :
solace. He discovered, as many an¬
other man has discovered with resent¬
ment, the deadly dullness with whict
dissipation is permeated.

I. Concerning Marriage (vv, 1-12).
The question touching divorce which
the Pharisees temptingly put to Christ
brought forth teaching which exhibits
marriage in its true light.
1. Marriage should not be degraded
by divorce (w. 1-5). Marriage wa*
instituted by God and was intended
to be indissoluble. Moses suffered di¬
vorce, limited and regulated It. Its
existence indicates the coarseness and
perverseness of man. Its real cause
is sin. Perhaps the most outstanding
evidence of the blighting effects of
sin is seen in the increasing number
of divorces.
2. Marriage God’s primal law (vv.
6-8). The ideal law of life for the
subjects of Christ’s kingdom Is mar¬
riage. This is proved by the funda¬
mental fact of sex. “God made them
male an<1 female." (v. 0). The union
of the male and female natures is
physical, mental, and spiritual. In
marriage the male and female natures
are mutually complemented—“They
twain shall he one flesh: so then they
are no more twain, but one flesh”
(v. 8).
3. Marriage has God's sanction
(v. 9). When God created Eve and
brought her unto Adam, he declared
that man should leave his father and
mother and cleave unto his wife and
that they shall be one flesh. God per¬
formed the first marriage ceremony.
4. Remarriage of the divorcer is adul¬
tery (vv, 10-12). The marriage rela¬
tion can only be dissolved by death
and sin. Marriage is for life. Divorce
for other ttian marital Infidelity does
not give the right to remarriage.
II. Concerning Children (vv. 13-16).
The union of the male and female
natures according to God's primal law
of marriage, lays the foundation for
family life. The normal issue of such
union is children. It was fitting that
Jesus In connection with the divine
law of marriage should set forth his
estimate of children. Christian men
and women will regard children ns the
property of the Lord and will esteem
it a high and holy privilege to train
them for him. Observe:
1. Children brought for the touch
of Jesus (v. 13).
2. Parents rebuked by the disciples
for bringing their children (v, 13).
3. Jesus’ reply (vv. 14, 15).
a. “Suffer the little children to
come unto me, and forbid them r,ot:
for of such is the kingdom of God”
(v. 14).
b. “Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a litiie child, he
shall not enter therein” (v, 15).
4. Jesus’ action (v. 16). He took the
children tip in his arms and blessed
them. Where Christ rules, childhood
1s sacred.
III. Concerning Riches (vv. 17-31).
1. The young ruler’s question (v.
17). This young man was in earnest
He came running and kneeled to
Jesus. lie was a young man with a
lovable personality. Jesus loved him.
While moral, earnest, and courageous,
he had a defective theology. He
thought that eternal life could be
obtained by good works.
2. Jesus' reply (vv. 18-20). He put
his finger on the weak spot in the
young man’s life. He knew that pos¬
sessions gripped his heart, revealing
the fact that he was a covetous man, a
violator of the tenth commandment.
3. Lacking one thing, and yet lost
(vv. 21, 22). When the Lord pointed
out to him that the love of money was
the defect of Lis life, he chose wealth
rather than Christ, and perhaps parted
company with the Lord forever.
4. The peril of riches (vv. 23 27).
Jesus said. “How hardly shall they
that have riches enter into the king¬
dom of God !” Discerning the aston¬
ishment of the disciples he said fur¬
ther, "How hard Is it for them that
trust )n riches to enter into the king¬
dom of God!” The difficulty does not
lie in the fact that a man possesses
riches, but that riches possess him.
Wealth Is a mighty power and in itself
is good. It will provide bread for the
hungry, and send the Gospel to the
ends of the earth. It is a short step
from the possession of riches to trust¬
ing in them.
The Be*t Proof
The best evidence of the inspiration
of the Word of God is found in the
word Itself. When studied, loved,
obeyed, and trusted. It never disap¬
points, never misleads, never fails.
It satisfies.—J. Hudson Taylor.
Th» Nobie«t Life
The noblest life is to live as his :
children that we may reveal to his others guid¬ j
the blessings of his presence,
ance and-his peace.—Thomas J. Gar¬
land.
Egg’s High Value on Daily Menu
Nutritionally speaking, tiie fact
that eggs are so low in price this
season is most important. Eggs are
recognized as one of the foods which
contribute tlie most to the diet, be¬
cause they are so well balanced
themselves, in comparison lo most
foods. They are equaled and ex¬
ceeded perhaps only hy milk.
We would expect this to lie the
ease because if the egg is allowed to
develop into a chicken. from it must
lie taken all the material necessary
to form hones, muscles and blood. Tt
must, therefore, contain minerals and
vitamins as well ns protein for this
purpose. All these except calcium
and vitamin C we get from the egg
white and yolks when we eat it. Gal
cium is provided hy the eggshell,
which is absorbed in the formation
of flip chicken hut which is not as
eatable for human consumption.
Most of the important constituents
of the egg can he found in the yolk.
Here are concentrated iron, phos¬
phorus, some calcium, vitamins A. B
and D, as well as protein. From the
egg white we get protein and sul¬
phur, as you have found out from the
way silver spoons are blackened by
contact with egg whites.
The protein in the egg is of excel
lent quality and in this respect eggs
can take the place of meat or other
protein food. In combination with
milk pgg furnishes n safeguard to
tiie diet of infants and young chil¬
dren. Tiie egg yolk is more often
put Into tiie milk given to small
babies. This is particularly on ac¬
count of Hip iron and vitamin D
content. Milk is low in iron and
needs to he sunnlemented by a food
which is an pflV'enf source of this
important mineral. Tiie iron in eggs
is fn a form which is completely
utilized. In a recent piece of re¬
search work in regard to the diet of
children it has been found that eggs
have a distinctively favorable influ¬
ence upon the physical well-being.
Vitamin p is a safeguard against
rickets and it lias been found tiiat
there is enough in one pgg yolk to
protect a child from this disease in
tiie winter months when little is pro¬
vided hy the sun. Eggs provide a
higher concentrate of vitamin P than
any other food unless we admit cod
liver nil as a member of the food
category. This food-medicine is. of
course, many limes as rich in vita¬
min P as egg yolk.
Eggs can lie eaten raw or cooked,
ns far as their nutritive qualities
are concerned. Our opinion in re¬
gard to them 1ms changed materially
in the last year. Once hard boiled
eggs were considered difficult to di
gest and raw eggs were considered
high in the diet list. If has been
found that there is merely a differ¬
ence in tiie time of digestion which
may he in favor of tiie first.
Because most of tiie food value of
tiie egg is in file yolk, infants are
often given egg yolk without the
while, which supplies tiie same kind
of protein as the milk which is al
ready in tiie diet. 'I’liis is an espe¬
cially advantageous custom when
eggs are expensive, as the house¬
keeper can always find a good use
for egg whites in the preparation of
souffles, cakes and desserts for the
family table.
Eggs find a place at oilier meals
besides breakfast, with which they
are so closely associated. Omelets,
poached eggs with various savory
sauces, deviled eggs and salads are
all popular luncheon dishes. With
dinner the egg serves often ns a
garnish for canapes or vegetables
and Is one of the ingredients often
used for sauces. An egg does its
part in tlip diet plan no matter how
it Is served.
