The one spot which more Than any
other has controlled the history OF
Europe lies, strangely enough, not in
Europe itself, but in Asia. For the
possession of the site where Christ
suffered, was buried and rose again
more blood has been shed than for
any other. An immense number OF
lives were laid down during the Cru
sades: and for 600 years before the
Crusades, and even to the present
time, a constant stream of pilgrims
has poured into Jerusalem to worship
at the spot made sacred by the cruel
fixion of Christ.
From the fourth century after
Christ until fifty years ago this site
was generally conceded to be within
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Now two sites dispute the claim of
being the actual Golgotha. The latter
claimant is known as "Gordon's Cal
vary" though to an American. Dr..
Harlan P. Beach of Yale university, is
due the actual discovery of it. Cen.

= When Wright reached his office the
morning after the ball, he found his
attorney, Arthur Morrison. waiting for
him. He had been drawn to Morrison
the first time he had met him and
had asked him to take care OF the pa
per's legal business. In this his judg-
ment had not been warped by sud
den friendship for the young lawyer
was worthy of his confidence. Like
Judge Gilbert. he had risen from an
humble home, but unlike the adviser
of Belmont corporations he had made
his way independently of the malign
influences which constantly seem to
seek to attract young men of talent
who follow the law as a profession.
To him both as his legal adviser and
his friend, Wright had talked freely

1t was after six O'Clock before they
decided to leave the office. AS every
pro and con of the situation had not
been exhausted, they adjourned to the
Belmont Club for dinner and there
continued puzzling over the franchise
and it's meaning.

drained his coffee cup and looked

young lawyer, successfully concealing
his surprise.
Wright realized the fight was on.
He also knew what Gloria had come
to mean to him, and after what they
had said last night he was afraid to
see her alone Now his first duty was
to the public, that public which so
often accepts benefits and sacrifices
all unconscious of its own gain and
what the cost has been. For the gen
eral good, for an ideal, for his belief
in what a paper should be, he was put
ting aside-just for the time, his heart
told him-the one woman who could
make him supremely happy.
The deferring of hope was heavy
upon Wright's heart as with Morrison
he walked in silence to Gilberts
house To himself he kept repeating
some verses from their birthday

Wright would have gone further,
have made a formal declaration, but

He felt that he could not stay in Bel

hoped through a newspaper broker to

Then he and Gloria could begin life
