TENDER GLANCES AND
SOFT WORDS

dence the eldest keeps house for
him Fairy is a college freshman
Carol and Lark twins are In
high school Constance Is the
“baby” The activities of the
glria — Prudence's work Fairy’s
school affairs the youngsters'
pranks— and the family perplexi-
ties make the story It is simply
a recital of homely Incidents
glorified by affection The pre-
ceding Installment described an
accident which Prudence suf-
fered during sn early-morning bi-
cycle ride and her rescue by a
strange and fasclnuting young
man
CHAPTER IX— Continued
—12—
He went upstairs to obey with de-
spulr in his heart But to the girls
there was nothing Btrange in this ex-
actness on the purt of Prudence Jer-
rold Ilarmer was the hero of the ro-
mance and they must unite to do him
honor Ue was probably a prince In
disguise Jerrold Ilarmer was a per-
fectly thrilling name It was realty a
shame that America allows no titles—
Lord Jerrold did sound so noble and
Lady Prudence was very effective too
He and Prudence were married and
hod a family of four children named
for the various Starrs before one hour
had passed
"I’U begin my book right away"
Lark was saying 8he and Carol were
la the dining room madly polishing
their Sunday shoes what time they
were not performing the marriage cer-
emony of their sister and the hero
"Yes do I But for goodness’ sake
don't run her Into a mule! Seems to
me even Prudence could have done bet-
ter than that”
“I'll have his automobile break down
In the middle of the road and Pru-
dence can run Into It The carburetor
cnine off and of course the cur
wouldn’t run an Inch without It"
"Yes that's good" said Carol ap-
provingly "It vmust be a sixty-cylinder
eight horse power— er — tonneau
or something real big and costly"
“Twins t You won't be ready"
warned Prudence and- this dire possl
blllty sent them flying upstairs In a
panic
YVhlle the girls bubbling over with
excitement were dressing for the great
event Ale Starr went downstairs to
sit with Prudence Carol called to him
on his way down and he paused oa
the staircase looking up at her
"Lnrk and I are going to use some
of Fairy's powder father” she suld
"We feel that we Blmply must oa sa
occasion like this And for goodness'
sake don't mention It before him ! It
doesn't happen very often you know
but today we simply must Now don't
you say anything about falling In the
flour barrel or turning pale all of a
sudden whatever else yon do We'd
be so mortified father”
Mr Starr waa concerned with
weightier matters and went on down
to Prudence with never so much as a
reproving shake of the bead for the
worldly-minded young twins
"Father" began Prudence her eyes
on the lace coverlet "do yon think It
would be all right for me to wear that
silk dressing gown of mother's?
need something over my nightgown
and my old flannel kimono Is so ugly
You know mother said I was to have
it and — I’m twenty now Do you think
it would be all right? But If you do
not want me to wear it—"
1 do want you to” wgs the prompt
reply "Yea it Is quite time you were
wearing It I'll get tt out of the trunk
myself and send Fairy down to help
you” Then as he turned toward the
door he asked carelessly "Is he very
good-looking Prudence?”
And Prudence with a crimson face
answered quickly "Ob I really didn't
notice father”
He went on upstairs then and pres-
ently Fairy came down with the dainty
silk gown trimmed with fine soft lace
"I brought my lavender rlbbon for your
hair Prudence It will match the
gown so nicely Oh yon 'do look sweet
dearest 1 pity Jerrold Han&r I can
tell yon that Now I must hfrry and
finish my own dressing”
But with her foot on the bottom
stair she paused Her sister was call-
ing after her "Send father down here
quick Fairy"
Father ran down quickly and Pru-
dence catching hold of his bands
whispered wretchedly “Oh father he
— he is good-looking I— I did notice
IL I didn't really mean to Ue to you”

“There now Prudence" he aaid
kissing her tenderly “yon mustn’t get
excited again Pm afraid yon are too
nervous to have callers You must Us
very quietly until he comes That was
no lie child You are so upset you do
not know wbat yon are saying today
Be quiet new Prudence It's nearly
time for him to come"
“You are a dear good father" she
cried kissing bis hands passionately
"but )t was a Ue I did know what I
was saying I did It on purpose"
And Mr Starr’s heart waa heavy for
be knew that tils fears were realised
CHAPTER X
Roused From Her Slumber
At twenty minutes to four the par-
sonage family clustered excitedly in
the sltUog room which the sunshine
flooded cheerily They were waiting
for the hero of Prudence's romance
“Oh Larkle wUl you run upstairs
and bring my lace handkerchief?
Would yon keep these pearls on
Fairy or would you take them off?”
"I would keep them on Prue You
do look so sweet but your face Is very
flushed I am afraid yon are feverish
Maybe we bad better not let him see
Prue today father"
“Fairy I" exclaimed Prudence "Lis-
ten listen girls I Look Fairy and see
If that Is be! Yes It Is I know — I
con tell by his walk" Warm rich
color dyed her face and throat and
she clasped her hands over her heart
wondering if Connie beside her could
hear Us tumult
"I'll go to the door” said Father
Starr and Prudence looked at him
beseechingly '
"I— I uni Bure he Is all right father
I — you will be nice to him won't you?”
Without answering Mr Starr left
the room Ue could not trust his voice
"Listen glria I want to hear” whis-
pered Prudence And she smiled as
Bhe heard her father's cordial voice
"You are Mr Uarrner aren't you?
I am Prudence’s father Come right
In The whole family is assembled to
do you honor The girls have already
made you a prince In disguise Come
back this way Prudence Is resting
very nicely"
When the two men stepped Into the
sitting room Prudence for once quite
overlooked her father She Ufted her
eyes to Jerrold Harmer’s face and
waited breathless Nor was he long
In finding her among the bevy of girls
Ue walked at once to the bed and
took her hand
"My little comrade of the road” he
said gayly but with tenderness "I'm
afraid yoa are not feeling weU enough
for callers today”
"Oh yes I am” protested Prudence
with strange shyness
He turned to the other girls and
greeted them easily He was entirely
self-possessed "Miss Starr told me so
much about you thut I know you nil to
begin with” He smiled at Fairy ns'
he added "In fact she predicted that
I am to fall In love with you And so
very likely I should If I hadn’t met
your sister first”
They all laughed at that and then
he walked back and stood by Prudence
once more "Was It a bad sprain?
Does It pain you very badly? You
look tired I am afraid It was an Im-
position for me to come thla after-
noon" "Oh don’t worry about that" put in
Connie anxiously "She wanted you
to come She'a been getting us ready
for you ever Blnce the doctor left I
think it was kind of silly for me to
wear my blue Just for one caller"
The twins glared at her realizing
that she was discrediting the parson-
age hut Jerrold Harmer laughed and
Prudence joined him
"It Is quite true” she admitted
frankly "The male and I disgraced
the parsonage this morning and I
wanted the rest of yon to redeem It
thts afternoon" She looked at him
inquiringly "Then you had another
coatT"
"No I didn't I saw this one In a
window this morning and couldn't re-
sist it Was the ride very hard on
your ankle?”
Mr Starr waa puzzled Evidently It
was not lack of fnnds which brought
this man on foot from Des Moines to
Mount Mark half-way across the
state I He did not look like a man
fleeing from Justice What then was
the explanation?
"You must have found It rather a
Igng walk” he began tentatively his
eyes oa the young man's face
“Yes I think my feet are a little
blistered I have walked farther than
that niuay times but I am out of prac-
tice now Sometimes however walk-
ing Is a painful necessity”
“How long did It tuke you coming
from Des Moines to Mount Mark?” In-
quired Carol in a subdued and respect-
ful voice and curious withal
“From Des Moines” be gasped
"Good heavens ! I did not walk from
Des Moines! Did you — " He turned
to Prudence questioning! "Did you
think I walked clear ' from Des
Moines?"
“Yes” And added hastily “But I
did not care If you did It did not
make any difference how you came'
For a moment he was puzzled Then
he burst out taughiug "I am afraid
we had too much to talk about this
morning? I thought I had explained
my situation bat evidently I did not
1 drove from Dm Moines la the car
and — Y
"The automobile" gasped Carol
with a triumphant look at Lark
"Yes Just m I stopped at several
places on business as I came through
I drove from Burlington this morning
but I got off the road The car broke
down on me and I couldn't fix It—
broke an axle So I had to walk la
That is what I was seeing about to-
day sending a man out for the car
and arranging about the repairs” He
smiled again "What In the world did
you think 1 would walk from Des
Moines for?" be asked Prudence more
Inquisitive than grammatical
"I did t tldnk anything about It
until they asked and— I did not know
about the car You did not mention
It"
"No I remember now We were
talking of other things all the time”
He turned frankly to Mr Starr “Per-
haps you hare heard of the Harmer
Automobile company of Dea Moines
My-father wag Harvey Harmer Two
years ago when I was running around
In Europe he died It was his desire
that -I should personally take charge
of the business So I hurried home
sod have had charge of the company
since then We are establishing sales
agencies here 'and in Burlington and
several other towns I came ont for
a little trip and took advantage of the
opportunity to discuss the business
with our new men That’s what
brought me to Mount Mark”
For the first time la her life Pru-
dence distinctly triumphed over her
father She flashed him the glance of
a conqueror and he nodded under-
standingly He Uked Jerrold Harmer
as much as he could like any man who
stepped seriously into the life of Pru-
dence Ue was glad that things were
well But — they would excuse him he
must look after his Sunday’s sermons
A little later the twins and Connie
grew restless and finally Connie blurt-
ed out "Say Prue don’t you think
we’ve upheld- the pureonuge long
enough? 1 want to get some fresh
nlr” ’ The twins would never have
been guilty of such soclul indiscretion
"My Little Comrade of the Road”
as this bnt they gladly availed them-
selves of Connie's "break” and fol-
lowed her out-of-doors Then Fairy
got up laughing "I have done my
share too I think we’U leave the
parsonage In your hands now I’rue
I want to write to Aunt Grace I’ll be
Just at the head of the stairs and if
Prudence wants me you will call
won’t you Mr Harmer? And won't
you stay for dinner with us? Pm sure
to disgrace the personage again for
I am no cook but you can get along
for once surely We syend more time
laughing when the food Is bad and
laughter is very healthful You will
stay won't you?”
Jerrold Harmer looked very eager
and yet he looked somewhat doubtfully
at Prudence Her eyes were eloquent
with entreaties Finally be laughed
and said "1 should certainly like to
stay but you see I want to come back
tomorrow Now will I dare to come
bock tomorrow If I stay for dinner to-
night? Wouldn’t Connie say that war
disgracing the parsonage?”
Fairy laughed delightedly "That Is
very good” she said "Then you will
stay I’ll try to fix It up with Connie
to save the reputation of the house"
No they did not quote poetry they
did not discuss the psychological in-
tricacies of spontaneous attraction
they did not say anything deep or
vise or learned But they smiled at
each other with pleased Investigating
eyes He put his hand on' the cover-
let Just near enough to touch the lace
on the sleeve of her silk dressing gown
And together they found paradise In
the shabby Bitting room of the old
Methodist parsonage that afternoon
Do you believe In long engage-
ments between lovera? Aren’t
engaged couplet able to become
well enough acquainted after six
months to marry and make at
much of a success of the partner
hip aa if they had waited twa
or three years?

JESUS SAVES FROM SIN
LE8SOX TEXT-John l:U C-n W-CS
(Read entire chapter!
GOLDEN TEXT— If the Son therefore
hall make you free re shall be free In-
deed— John l:X
Teachers should sketch rapidly In a
chronological way the events In the life
of our Lord (See any good harmony)
and show that this lesson belongs to
the period of the Galilean ministry of
Jesus when he had gone up to Jerusa-
lem to attend the feast of the taber-
nacle (John 7:1-52) Let us be sur
to load our guna with temperance am-
munition be familiar with facta take
careful a Jin concentrate all we have
to say upon one definite atm and then
pull the trigger e g be sure to shoot
a temperance charge and make a tem-
perance application
I The Slavery to Sin Jesus' previ-
ous references to water (Chs4nnd 7)
and to bread (ch 6) were occasioned
by outward occurrences so with this
reference to light In the treasury (v
20) near to Jesus as he spake were two
colossal golden lamp stands around
which when lighted the people gath-
ered with rejoicing Amid the blaze of
this illumination Jesus exclaims: "I
am the light of the world” What la
more beneficent than light as It re-
veals cheers and brings life health
and happiness to mankind? Without
light there Is no vision Without Jesus
there la no spiritual wisdom Without
light we know not whither we are go-
ing Without Jesus we grope In the
darkness Every ray of light of truth
of holiness and love comes from him
for God Is light and In him Is no dark-
ness at all (I John 1 :15) Some think
that these words were occasioned by
the onlookers seeing what Jesus had
written In the sand (vv 1-11) The
first step in the slavery of sin la blind-
ness the second Is habit and the
third la thnt of absolute slavery (Prov
(1:22) Jesus was the lucarnntlon of
the light of God We cannot con-
ceive of Jesus making such an asser-
tion as this and being merely a good
man
II The P6sslblllty of Freedom (vv
31-86) These words were spoken to
"those which had believed on him” and
as the result they were to know the
truth and the truth should make them
free Knowledge and liberty come from
a continuance (abiding) In the word of
God (John 14:15 16:12-13) Many men
reject Jesus Christ because they claim
they wish to haVe their liberty and by
so doing they lose their liberty A dis-
ciple is a learner Jesus Is the teacher
the entrance examinations to the
school of Clfrtst are the simple and
necessary condition of believing or ac-
cepting him as Lord and teacher The
scholars are all the disciples who con-
tinue under his Instruction The ob-
ject of the schooling Is to make per-
fect men "unto the measure -of the
atature of the fulneaa of Christ” (Eph
4 :22 Col 4 :12) Christ’s school la not
only in the church and la the 8unday
school and Young People's society but
It is everywhere In the home lu the
office at work and play wherever one
Is trying truly to live according to
Christ's will he is In hla school and
that school la open both day and night
there are no vacations and no recesses
The text book is the Book of books
We need not argue as to the necessity
of sin bnt realise the fact that all are
under sin (Rom 5:12) bnt being un-
der sin does not necessitate our abid-
ing there nor Is sin necessary to our
being This freedom here Is from sin
and the love of sin and the curse and
the penalty of sin and the bondage and
corroding care of sin It is also mental
freedom freedom for Christian ac-
tivity A knowledge of the English
Bible Is a liberal education and brings
true liberty to those who are thus edu-
cated As contrasted to that we have
the slavery of ain (w 84 36) The
drunkard is a slave because he Is re-
strained from doing what he knows he
ought to dot He cannot even do wrong
freely for his conscience constantly up-
braids him He Is a slave because ho
is compelled to bear the consequences
of sin against his wilt The way of
escape (v 36) la through the eon: "If
the aon therefore shall make you free
ye shall be free Indeed”
III iThe Authority (w 66 58) The
Jews took exception to the words of
Jesus (33-55) When did Abraham see
Jesus? Bead the 18th and 19th chapters
of Genesis and we find that one of the
three who visited Abraham was differ-
ent from the other two and remained
behind while two went on to Sodom
The one who remained was the Lord
Jesus Jehovah appearing in human
form before his later Incarnation aa
Jesus of Nazareth
"I Am” Is the name of Jehovah
Jesus here takes that name to himself
There was a time when Abraham came
to be or was (v 58) but there was
no time when our Lord ever came to
be for he Is the eternal ”1 Am” Being
thus one with God he has the powes
to set men free
We have la this chapter the picture
which Jesus draws of the character of
the devil as the enemy of mankind un
der two aspects: First he Is a mur-
derer (v 44)
No war has slain what Intemperance
(one of his favorite Instruments) has
lain Second he Is a liar
