to call on her In time to arrive At It's
| adjournment.
No hint OF her return had reached
Miss phinney. no letters had been ex-
changed. and not since that fearful
separation had they met.
And now as Chip followed the lone
! ~ by.road no often traversed by her. 4
What a food OF blttersweat memories
returned. each bend, each tree, each
rock. and the bridge over the Mizzy
held a different recollection. Here at
this turn she had first met Ray. after
her resolve 20 leave Grecnvale. Az
the next landmark, lane crossing the
meadows. she had always parted from
! her teacher, the last time In tears.
Aud hew long, long ago It all seemed.
Then beyond. and barely visible, Was
the dear old schooIh0use. She could
see IL now. half hid In the bushes. a.
lone and lowly little brown building
outlined on the winter landscape and
apparently dwarfed In size Once III
Rad awed her. now II seemed pathetic.
The last Of its pupils were vanishing
as Chip drew near. and inside, and 40
lonely Ms that lone temple, Miss Phin-
ney stiil fingered.
That day had not gone well with
her. A note OF complaint had come
| from one parent that morning, and
news that dearly loved scholar wAsl
III as we'll and Miss Phinney's own
| life seemed like the fields just now
cold. ,iesoiate and snow-covered.
And then while she, thus lone and
lonesome. was putting away books,
states, fnk-botties and all tho badges
Of her servitude. Chip, without knock.
ing, walked In.
How they first exclaimed. then en-
braced, then kissed, and then repeat
cd 1t while each tried to xink the
tears away. and failed: how they sat
hand In hand In that dingy, smoke
Drowned room ~slfis its knife-hacked
benches, unconsc'ers OF the chill. while
Chip told her st and how. Just ~
the last rays 81 s~a setting sun flashed
from the icicles along IT. caves. thsy
left II, still hand In hand, was but IN
episode such as many schoolgirl can
recall.
or the few friends Greenvale held
for Chip none seemed qrite 80 near
and dear as Miss Phianey. and none
lived longer In her memory. TheyI
had been for many months not teacher
and pupil. but rather twp sisters, con
fding, patient and tender. Life swept
them apart. They might never meetI
again. and yet 50 long as both livedI
never would t.irse school days be forI
gotten.
With Sunday came Chips most graf
flying experience. perhaps. for her ar
rival was now known BY the entire vii
lage and the fact that she was an
heiress as well. Her fortune talso
KNOWN was considered almost fabu-
lous according to Greenvale standards.
and when Chip with Angie entered the
church porch, II was crowded with
people waiting 10 receive them. Chip,
Of course, now well clad and well
poised. was once more the cynosure OF
all eyes except when the pastor prayed.
At the close OF service a score, most
Of whom she knew by sight only. wait
ed to greet her and shake hands with
her In the porch. The parson hurried
down the aisle to add his smile and
. hand clasp. and. all in all. 1t was =
most gratifying reception.

Rabbi Wise suggested that the Japanese
and American peoples unite TO noninate.
Elihu Root and Baron TakAhira for tho
next award OF the Nobel peace prize. r
@These," said he, shave greatly served
the cause Of world peace, not by drawing
the two nations into formal and express
alliance but by arranging a gentlemen's
agreement which is ample as long as
both nations behave like gentlemen.
THE Japanese American agreement
means moral preparedness In both landa
for true and lasting peace, Moral pre-
paredness for war means war inevitable;
moral preparedness for peace makes war
impossible. The agreement Is a trt-
umph over the most terrible foe OF peace,
prejudice. 1t Is a recognition OF the
truth that the souls and deeds of men have
no color. that colorphobia Is rebellion
against God. II Is a renewal OF the
Golden Rule. or American diplomacy
revitalized by that American gentle
man, John Hay. John Hay laid the
foundations. Elihu Root has reared the
superstructure OF the new diplomacy.
