ROUNDABOUT
“I say, my good fellow,” said the
stranger to the man standing at the
corner of the street, “just tell me

“Well, guv’nor," said the man,

again, fourth to the left, first to the

“Right,” said the stranger, and
moved off.
About an hour later he was
amazed to find himself at the place
where he had asked for directions.
The same man was still standing at
the corner.
“Why did you direct me wrongly?”
he demanded.
“But you asked for Blank street,
didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Well, then I directed you all
right. This is Blank street.”—Lon¬

SYNOPSIS
On ner eighteenth birthday, Bar¬
bara, motherless daughter of Christ
upher Thorne, artist, awakes with an¬
ticipation of the joys of the day. She
receives a birthday ring from Bruce
MacLam, young artist friend of the
family, Put more than friend to Bar¬
bara. Barbara and Bruce go picknick
ing on the sands at Provincetown. He
tells her a story of a gypsy boy, a lit¬
tle gypsy girl whom he loves, and
the song of a silver flute. She knows
It is he*' own love tale. Her happiness
turns to sorrow when she returns home
to lean, her father has been drowned.
Barbara fears she and her brothers
and sister will be separated. Rela¬
tives arrive and take charge of things.
Having been almost a mother to the
others, Barbara cannot think of Kit’s
sensitive nature bruised in Uncle Her¬
bert’s household by his rough-and
ready cousins, and Gay spoiled by her
association with silly Aunt Lola.
Bruce urged immediate marriage, but
that would mean separation.
CHAPTER IV
— 6 —
Aunt Lola’s car stood at the gate, a
oeautiful car, dove-gray with silver
fittings and a chauffeur named I’ierre.
Aunt Lola, small and plump, with mas
saged-looking skin and hair a shade
too golden, sat beside the living room
fire wrapped in moleskin as soft as vel¬
vet.
Gay was bewitched by Aunt Lola,
her clothes, her jewels, the dove-gray
car, the chauffeur named Pierre. Al¬
ready she was different, Barbara
thought, watching Gay adopt Aunt
Lola's mannerisms, her gestures, the
affected tones of her voice: She didn't
want Gay to grow up into a silly little
peacock, like Gwen, Aunt Lola’s daugh¬
ter, married now and, according to
family gossip, “leading her husband a
life." Mother would have hated it so.
And Father, too. Gay could be so
nice.
Uncle Herbert came and went, at¬
tending to business matters, interview¬
ing the real estate agent and. the offi¬
cials at the bank. Uncle Herbert was
not above medium weight, ruddy and
stockily built. But you felt that he
was very tall and imposing.
Uncle Herbert was kind to the chil¬
dren. He was especially kind to Kit.
“Well, Michael Angelo," he would
nay, “have you painted a masterpiece
yet?”
Or, pinching Kit’s arm, he would
say:
“No muscle!” He would pretend to
be terribly shocked. “See here, young
fellow, that won’t do. Wait ’til we get
you out in Pittsburgh. Roast beef is
what you need.”
Did he think they hadn’t been prop¬
erly fed? Barbara would try to choke
hack her indignation, knowing that
Uncle Herbert meant only to be kind.
He would talk about Paul who
played on his college football team
and Joe who was a prep school star
and Junior who had six medals for
swimming, although he was only fif¬
teen. Barbara, an ache in her heart,
would see Kit’s flush deepen and a
frightened look creep into his eyes.
Kit couldn’t play football. He would
never be very strong.
Her last hope had vanished. She
had pinned up her hair and worn her
longest frock, but she knew that she
looked as young and frightened as she
felt, when she asked them to let her
keep the children there in the gray
shingled house.
‘We could manage.” Barbara felt
her courage slipping away with the
pins that held her hair. “You can live
so cheaply in Provincetown. If Kit
gets a job and we don't have Martha
and—”
“It isn’t only a question of money,”
Uncle Herbert said not unkindly.
“There are many things to be con¬
sidered. You’re too young to assume
such a responsibility. Besides," he
ndded, “it isn’t necessnry."
It was necessary. She knew, in her
heart, that it was necessary to keep
the children together. But she couldn’t
put it Into words. They confused her
with grown-up logic. She shut herself
up in the studio and cried helplessly
with her cheek against Father’s coat.
Aunt Josephine had decided not to
come. The change In the weather, she
wrote, made the journey too great a
risk, since she wasn't as young as she
used to be. Barbara was to come to
Providence with Cousin Evie. She
enclosed a generous check.
Barbara looked thoughtfully at the
strip of pink paper signed in spidery
writing with Great-aunt Josephine’s
name. The check would take her to
New York and buy her a winter coat.
A dress, perhaps. Her wedding dress.
Aunt Jorephine would make a fuss
about Bruce. She didn’t approve of
artists. But Mother had married Fa¬
ther.
It would be lovely to be with Bruce,
she thought, curled in a corner of the
davenport, watching the lights in the
fire. She wouldn't mind if they hadn’t
much money. Darling Bruce! She
twisted his ring on her finger and
heard the tinkling of the small gold
Mart. She hadn’t told anybody. The
CLEVELAND COURIER
children thought It was a birthday
ring. The relations might make fun.
She couldn’t bear that. Darling Bruce!
If it weren’t for the children . . .
The house was to be sold. Uncle
Herbert decided that was best. They
couldn't understand why Barbara
minded so much.
“Why should you want to keep It?"
Cousin Julia asked in amazement.
“We like it, Cousin Julia.” Never
had the long low room seemed so
charming and friendly and dear. But
she knew it was useless to explain.
They never could understand. Hei
eyes brimmed over with tears.
Cousin Julia, assisted by Martha,
thoroughly cleaned the house. Things
were burned in the fireplace. There
was little worth keeping. Cousin Julia
said. Barbara packed her sea-chest
with treasured odds and ends. Every¬
thing else would be sold.
Their last day together arrived, a
rainy day, chilly and depressing. Mar¬
tha's eyes were rimmed with red and
her scolding voice was gentle. People
from the town came to say good-by.
“We’ll miss you," they said. “The
house won’t seem the same.”
Never the same again! Barbara
realized it, all at once, with a sicken¬
ing lurch of her heart. The house
would belong to somebody else, the
house that Mother had loved. They
wouldn’t see the willows grow green,
next spring, and the apple tree burst
into bloom. They wouldn’t sit on the
studio steps with “Chips” stretched
out in the sunshine across their
feet. . . .
Barbara ran blindly from the room,
up the stairs, along the hall, up into
the attic.
She heard a sound of sobbing. Kit
lay on a broken sofa In the unused
part of the attic, his face buried in his
arms.
“Kit!” she cried softly, running to
him, kneeling beside the sofa.
He raised a tear-stained face. His
cheeks were hot and flushed. A fever¬
ish light burned in his hazel eyes.
“Sorry, Babs,” he gulped, ashamed
of crying, trying to be manly.
“Do you mind so much about going
with Uncle Herbert?" she asked, her
heart breaking for Kit.
“You don’t know what it’s like,
Babs,” he sobbed, no longer ashamed.
“Uncle Herbert’s boys are so strong.
I—I couldn’t keep up. They laugh at
things I say. They—they think I’m
sort of crazy, I’d rather die than go
back there.”
It was dreadful to hear him sob.
Kit so seldom cried; not even when he
was a little boy and had to sit in a
chair. He minded things so terribly.
Those great boobies of Uncle Her¬
bert's, Barbara thought. It wasn’t fair.
She must do something. Kit shouldn’t
suffer so.
“You needn’t go with Uncle Her¬
bert,” she said, not very sure about
anything, wanting only to hush his
strangling sobs. “We’ll all stay to¬
gether,- Kit.”
He raised his head, a question in his
eyes.
“We’ll all run away together!" A
plan presented itself to Barbara. She
didn’t know why she thought of it.
Perhaps all along it had been lurking
somewhere in the back of her mind.
“I know exactly what we’ll do.” Her
voice sounded frightened, but happy,
too. She felt her heart thumping
against her ribs.
“What?” Kit asked hoarsely.
“We’ll—”
“Yoo-hoo!”
That was Cousin Evie coming up the
stairs.
“Slih!” Barbara whispered, her eyes
dark with excitement, a warm pink
flush In her cheeks. “In the studio
after supper. I’ll tell you about it
then.”
Cousin Evie, wrapped in a crocheted
shawl, reached the top of the attic
steps.
“You naughty kiddies!” she said,
smiling brightly, shaking a finger in
playful reproof. “Hiding up here in
the cold! Come on downstairs by the
fire. Martha has made hot chocolate.
We'll have a nice little game of
hearts.”
* a * * * * *
It was chilly in the studio. The
children huddled together in a circle
on the floor. They hadn’t dured to
turn on the lights for fear of being
discovered. A candle burned in an
ash tray. Kit and Gay and Jamie
looked at Barbara.
“We’ll run away,” she began, trying
to make her voice sound confident in
spite of the way that her heart was
thumping against her ribs.
“Ail of us?” Gay asked, forgetting
Aunt Lola and the dove-gray car in
the excitement of an adventure.
"All of us,” Barbara said, her eyes
very wide and frightened in her pale
face.
“ ‘Chips,’ too?” Jamie asked the ques¬
tion anxiously, the small yellow dog
hugged tight against his chest.
“ ‘Chips,’ too,” Barbara said almost
gaily. “Why, Jamie Thorne, do you
think we could ever leave ‘Chips’ ”
“Where are we going?” Jamie asked,
not caring very much since “Chips”
was going too.
“We’re going to ‘Uncle Stephen.’"
There, it was out. And it didn’t sound
crazy at all. It sounded like a sensible
thing to do.
“Did he invite us?” Gay asked
eagerly, her warm color deepening.
“No,” Barbara was forced to admit.
“We’re just going anyway.”
“But Babs,” worried thoughtful Kit,
“shouldn’t you write to ask him? Or
telegraph or something?”
“It’s better if he sees us.” Barbara
was sure of that. Certainly “Uncle
Stephen” could never resist the charms
of Kit and Gay and Jamie. ... "A
crusty old bachelor!” . . . She didn’t
believe it His letter sounded m
nice .

<en, be strong In the Lord, and in the
power of his might. Ephesians 6:10.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Friends From
God’s Book.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Some Heroes of
God’s Book.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—Lessons From Great Leaders.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—What Makes a Great Leader?
For senior and adult classes, two
methods are suggested.
First—The grouping of the men and
women as leaders.
The material of tills lesson is adapt¬
ed from the Lutheran lesson commen¬
tary.
I. The Military Leaders (Lessons
1, 2 and 3).
1. Joshua (Lesson 1). He was
skillful in military tactics as well as
organization. He possessed natural
gifts, but his success was due mainly
to his obedience to God.
2. Caleb (Lesson 2). As one of the
twelve spies, he Insisted that by God’s
help they could possess Canaan.
3. Gideon (Lesson 5). He obeyed
God’s strange command to reduce his
army to 300 men. With them he rout¬
ed the host of Midian, and made
Israel free for about forty years.
II. Women (Lessons 3, 0, and 7).
1. Deborah (Lesson 3). She was
called In an emergency and led the
people forward to victory.
2. Ruth (Lesson 6). She adopted
a new people, a new God, and a new
country, with no thought of personal
gain. She became the ancestress of
David and thus of Christ.
3. Hannah (Lesson 7). In Hannah
shines forth ideal motherhood.
lit. Prophets (Lessons 4 and 8).
1. Isaiah (Lesson 4). He has the
place of first rank among the prophets.
He denounced the sins of Israel.
Drunkenness was one of the sins
which destroyed Israel.
2. Samuel (Lesson 8). He was di¬
rector-general of Israel while serving
as a prophet of God.
IV. Royalty (Lessons 9. 10, 11 and
12 ).
1. Saul (Lesson 9). He had the
anointing of God and the approval of
the people. His days were filled with
blunders, largely because he trusted
and exalted himself rather than God.
2. David (Lesson 10). David came
Into prominence unexpectedly. He had
the inner qualities that God could
use for a true king. He brought the
scattered tribes under one govern¬
ment, bound together with the bond of
one religion.
3. Jonathan (Lesson 11). He is noted
for his friendship for David. He was
legal heir to the throne, but renounced
his right in favor of David.
4. Solomon (Lesson 12). He came
to the throne welcomed by a united
nation. The idea of building the tem¬
ple as well as much material for its
erection came to him from his father.
He built the temple and dedicated it to
God. setting forth that its supreme
purpose was God’s glory.
Second—The Summary Method.
The aim here is to state the leading
fact and principal teaching of the sev¬
eral lessons. The following sugges¬
tions are made:
Lesson for July 2. Joshua's faith in
the promises of God and obedience to
the divine command enabled him to
carry forward to success the work
begun by Moses.
Lesson for July 9. Because Caleb
wholly followed the Lord, his strength
was preserved.
Lesson for July 10. It was out of
the ordinary for God to call a woman
to a place of national leadership. De¬
borah had the good judgment to urge
Barak forward.
Lesson for July 23.—Drunkenness
and other sins caused Israel’s ruin.
Lesson for July 30. Gideon, with a
small band of men, routed and de¬
stroyed ttie Midlanites because he
trusted and obeyed God.
Lesson for August 6. Because Ruth
chose to identify herself with the peo¬
ple of God she was abundantly blessed.
Lesson for August 13. Hannah
stands out as the ideal godly mother.
Lesson for August 20. Samuel heard
the call of God while serving in the
capacity In which his mother dedicat¬
ed him.
Lesson for August 27. Saul shame¬
fully failed because he disobeyed God.
Lesson for September 3. Because
David was a man after God’s own
heart, God used him and blessed him
in spite of his sins.
Lesson for September 10. Jonathan
Is an example of a true friend.
Lesson for September 17. Solomon
chose wisdom rather than honor and
riches. Because of this God was able
to give riches and honor.
