A good number of church school
workers have enrolled for the study
course to be given by Rev. Burleigh
following the hour of prayer on Wed-
nesday evening. The book being used
js “Missionary Education in the
. Church,” by Gates. It is one of the
standard training courses and those
who successfully complete the work
‘wil receive a certificate which gives
that person one credit. Twelve credits
are reuired for graduating.
Four of our church school workers

The aim of our school and of every

worker a graduate of the standard
training work.

Remember Steddon comes West to

fortunate love affair to her father.

of kind heart but narrow mind, who
attributes much of the evil of the
world to the ‘movies’ and constantly
lover, Elwood Farnaby, ,having died in
inveighs against them. Mem, her
accident, at the advice of Dr.
Bretherick, gives her bad cough as an
excuse to get to Arizona and from
there writes home that she has met
and married “Mr. Woodville,” a wholly
imaginary person. Later she writes
again to say that her “husband” has
died in the desert. She takes a job as
a domestic to avoid being a burden on
her parents. A fall prevents her be-
coming a mother. In Arizona she had

around the wind machine?” she asked
Kendrick.
“To keep people from walking into
the propeller,” said Kendrick.
After an hour preparation the army
was ready for the battle. *
A gentle rain fell from the pipes. The
fire host, aimed upon the air, added
its volume. The wind machine set up
its mad clatter: The water and the
lightning filled it with shattering fire.
Then Men was called forth. She
clutched her cloak about her and
thrust into the tempest. It was like
driving through a slightly rarefied
cataract. She hardly reached the pil-
lar at the edge of the porch, clutched
it for a moment, caught a quick
breath, and flung down the steps. And
that was that. ‘All this preparation for
one minute of action!

was so briefly to adorn.

tention of Mr. Bermond, head of
company, is diverted to her and he de-
cides to give her a chance. Soon she
finds herself posing with Claymore as
her director, obeying his commands in
a kind of stupor.
Mem’s father reads a publicity story
calling her “the prettiest girl in
America” and writes a letter of pro-
teste to his wife, and daughter, Mem’s
fame begins to spread, and Claymore,
the director, takes an unusual interest
in per. He is infatuated with Mem but
tries to be aloof and professional to
hide the fact from the company.
Mem and Claymore become more and
more inerested in each. Out riding
one May, Claymore 'makes physical ad-
vances to her. While they are park-
ing a hold-up man approaches and de-
mands their money.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Claymore was sane enough ito a'-
tempt no resistance, though he almost
perished from chagrin. He endured
insolence of the masked stranger who
stole the chain and a wallet and the
loose silver.
The blackguard held his clubbed pls
tol over Claymore’s head a moment,
then forebore to strike, and dropped
from the step with a last warning.
“Sit pretty now and keep 'em up till
I git goin’ or I'll—
His car shot around the curve.
Claymore brought down his aching
arms. They were too much ashamed
of themselves to return. to their late
post about Mem’s shoulders.
A preverse remore filled, their souls
with: confusion; a remorse because of
a wrong remorse, a disgust for an un-
acecpted temptation and for being so
temptable.
A woman never guite forgives a ‘man
for not dying for het at the first op-
portunity. She probably’ never quite
forgives him for dying either.
Se the clever man evades the situa-
tion where a choice is required, as the
virtuous man evades temptation while
he is yet far off.
Claymore, brooding deeply in his
earnest soul, felt that he owned Mem
some atonement, He meant it nobly,
but it sounded crude when he checked
the car in front of her little home and
took her hand and said:
“If you will let me marry you, Ti
see that 'my wife divorces me.”
These divorces of conbenience
marked the new-fashioned way of ac-
complishing righteousness.
to make her “an honest woman.”
Mem laughed nervously.
“No thanks!” It was as uninspired
as possible, but then it is sot easy to
make a brilliant answer to a stupid
suggestion. She felt that she must
improve on it a bit, but she! helped it
a little when she added: “Just as
must obliged. Good night!”
Two days later she began work with
Tom Holby's company. Holby de-
scribed the part she was to play, read
her the big scenes.
People make love unconsciously at
times and in the truest courtships
never a word is spoken. Two souls
travel mystic gardens together and
come to deep understandings without
the exchange of a syllabled thought.
The orders had gone forth to rush
the Holby picture to a conclusion. Big
night-storm scenes had been scheduled
for the final takes, and on the final
morning the first scene were begun
promptly at nine. Kendrick promised
to let the company go at three to rest
for the all-night grind, but it was not
until half past seven that the day's
work was done.
At nine they went to the first of the
sets. The Californian night was black
and cold, The night in the story was
one of tempest and battle. Tom Holby
must run an automobile into a ditch
and 'make a desperate war against
four brutes who were instructed to put
up a good fight.
Each bit of scenery through which
she was to flash had been made ready
the day before. Perforated rain pipes
were reinforced by men who would
play a fire hose or two upon the hap-
