the tinkle of mandolins with the
strum of guitars. In one vine-clad
pavilion, on white planked floor, the
cake walk prevailed, to the rattle OF
banjos in rag-time melody.
Mirth, music, love, bright-lights and
half-lights, were the tintings of the
picture, with dark shadings where the

deed!
Della Poynter found opportunity to
whisper to June Stanton:
I'm twenty minutes stroll over,
alone, to the mound in the North
Grove, and you will see how true your
lover is"
A moment before the schemer had
whispered the same words to Henry
Winter. Each in turn had accepted
the message with fine show of con-
tempt. But Della had not fingered to
discuss the matter. She knew that
both would attend. She was informed

in all stages of the game. She knew
jealousy, from it's first hint to the
frenzies of Othello.
The North Grove was the site of a
ruin. At the spot the Trumbos had
built their first home. when they
came here from Virginia-just George
Trumbo, his young wife and her
younger sister. 1t had first been a
log cabin. Then with prosperity's de-
mand it had given place to small
brick cottage. Trees stood about the
cabin and the cottage, and they were
here yet. Hence the grove. Fire had
destroyed the cottage. Then came the
grass-grown and shrub-dotted mound
that hid the debris of broken brick
and stone. The chalet arose as the
rich mans home. and the North Grove
was an almost hallowed spot.
Near to the foot Of the mound. on
the side toward the chalet. was the
deep and ancient well that had served
the Trumbo home in the old days, but
it's waters were now unusued and it
had been covered many years with
heavy planks, almost overgrown with
the rank grass.
Henry strolled away from the
merrymakers. He had missed June
from the party, and yet she was there
in one of the shadows. on rustic
seat. alone; thinking Of what Della
Poynter had said; struggling with the
thought of obeying.
"What could have been Delia's mo.
tive for saying what she had said"
She would see for herself. She glanced
about among the groups. Henry was
not there. Then she few along the
path, and stopped suddenly, when near
the mound. She had family made out
the familiar figure that had halted and
was angrily speaking to Della Poyn-
ter, whose white form was but a filmy
fleece against the black where she
stood at the foot Of the mound.
A FREELY had flashed its pink, pale
light at the very edge of the old well
and had shown it, gaping, open, a
black spot before him, which, with an
other step, would have been the door
to his hereafter. !.

ton would have unwittingly Joined
him, moment later, in the dark
depths below.

probably within our atmosphere, de-
signed wholly for the leading of the
wise men. The law of parsimony re-
jects such exploitation. and science,
with silent ScOrn, turns its back upon
the bauble star. for in the glorious
depths of heaven are matchless orbs
which, swinging on their way into NOR
tai ken for awhile, meet all the de-
mands of poet and of prophet for the
"Star of the King"
History affords US data for determn-
ing this wondrous star.
When the magi arrived in Jerusalem,
HerOd was within few weeks of his
death. The massacre of the babes of
Bethlehem was one of the last of his
tragic deeds. Herod died in the year
of Rome 100. When "Herod inquired
diligently what time the star appear

he thought it safe to eXterminate all
baby sons of Bethlehem from . years
old and under, showing that 1.-The STAR
had been known to the wise men for
at least two years before their arrival
in Jerusalem, and whether its appear
ing had marked the conception or the
birth Of ''the king" Herod could not

however, they sat thinking for a mo-

still and stare in front of him. AS the
people came to the carriage door to get

carriage, passed on. When all the pas

and the traveller stepped into the car

he did SO:
