for a moment whore the money had
come from. She had no head for
business matters, and had only a
vague idea Of what her fathers duties

But her lack Of curiosity es TO how

men. For many a week It was the
chief food for gossip among them.
People wondered why Kenyon still
stuck TO his twenty ve-huudred- dol
lar job in the bank since his rise in
the world. They wondered, too, why
such a worried look had come into
his face: There were still other
things that perpleNed them. one
was the very evident fact that not
only was Kenyon himself showing
signs OF being under a hard strain.

She went out less among her

Her mother slumped down in a

mouth hanging open in astonishment.

And Clara Kenyon's been talking
about getting four servants Four OF

she's been getting the most gor-

well, I'm dlnged If ! know how
he's done it," declared Simpson,
screwing up his face IN bewilder-
ment.
"IIe can't have inherited any more
money" mused his wife, because we
know all about the few relatives he
ever had and they've all been dead
for years. None Of them had much
TO leave, anyway He's been specul-

man could do"
"He must have got Il somewhere.
Then, where" demanded Mrs. Simp-
son.
"I don't know" returned Simpson
helplessly. Then after moment, q
sudden change of expression came
over his face, and he added, Il don't

his wife with n curious look In his
eyes and said no more.

wrapped in expensive furs, rolled
through the streets Of the town in
their big motor car.
Bot among all his acquaintances
was the constant question: Where
does the money come FROM" The
Simpsons were as much I'm the dark

As for Kenyon himself although
he had always been a frank. out

Indeed, he was n changed man I'm

VITHEN Daniel Kenyon, cashier
Wv OF the Elm City Bank, bought
an automobile his neighbors,
the Simpsons, who had lived next
door to him for twenty-five years,
during which time they had been
under the impression that they knew
oil the ms and outs of his private
affairs, were surprised and bewilder-
ed by the sudden burst of eXtrava-
gance.
How the deuce can he do it?" ex-
claimed Henry Simpson, as he gazed
out Of the window at the car that
was chug-chugging I'm front of Ken
yons house. Hes not content with
n runabout; it's a big touring car.
And on twenty-five hundred a year
Salary, 1t beats me!"
"He's been working for the bank
close to thirty years" suggested Mrs.
Simpson Don't you suppose he
saved something in all that time?
Anyway there's the five thousand his
uncle left him. That ought TO be en-
ough for an auto
You ought to know Dan Kenyon
well enough by this time 10 realize
he's not the kind TO spend half he's
worth for a joy-machne," declared
her husband. I'm bet that car cost
his years salary at least And as
for saving you know how much
chance he's had to do that His
salary wasn't but two thousand till
q few years ago and his wife had
been an invalid for fifteen years
when she died. with doctors bills
running up high. Not much chance
for big savings there
~ Rrf
I'd have suspected of su1h an eX-
travagance." said Mrs Simpson.
Hes never been the kind to think
of Injuries. Why, he's always
watched every penny. He must have
mad. lot Of money somehow"
small chance of a man in this gos-
riry town getting hold Of q lot Of
money without everybody knowing
all about II. Anyway. Kenyon's
never been close-mouthed about his
affairs. He's never been ashamed to
let his friends know about himself.
WHY. IL was only six months ago
that / heard him say the five thou
sand he got from his uncle's estate
was pretty near all he had IN the
world. And he's got the reputation
Of being as truthful n man as ever
lived. So. what I'm blazes is he do
ing with a touring-cary'
As he turned from the window,
scratching his head in perplexitya his
daughter came hurrying into the
room. She had just returned from
n call on some friends tcross the
street.
What do you suppose Mr. Kenyon
has been doing?" she exclaimed.
Been buying an auto" said her
mother. with a touch of peevishness.
"Didu't you suppose we knew that
by this time? II he can afford an
auto we ought TO be going around
in a gold chariot. But ! guess your
father would have falnting spell II
either Of us happened to hint at a
horse and buggy"
Hes been getting more than an
huto." announced Miss Simpson
rThe Beldens are going abroad, and
hes rented their house, furniture and
Dill. and the garage in the rear for his
machine. Where on earth has he
keen getting gil the money!"

The Rejected Invitation.
1t was the current belief of the
Jesus that the installation II the
| kingdom OF heaven would be ushercd
IN By a great feast, at which the
highly favored Of Jehovah the Jews,
Of course would SIT down In the
seats Of honor This belief was due
not only 10 their racial arrogance
We might call II theological presump-
tlou-but was illustrative Of their sor-
did and material miscOnceptlOn OF
things spiritual This prompted the
pious ejaculation Of follow-guost
on this occasion; Blessed is he that
shall eat bread in the kingdom Of
Goa The answer Of Jesus not only
Ichulted the matorialism OF this View,
but opened up the great truth that
the gospel would be rejected by the
Jews and given to the Gontiles. II Is
not worth our while 10 consider the
excuses offered by those who de
Clined the invitation TO the great
feast, for they were all iusincere and
silly. The great fact stands out prom
inently that, because those favored
ones who were invited thought 20
lightly Of the honor as to ask to be
excused, they We're forever shut out,
and their places at the banquet table
were filled with the humble and the
despised and afflicted Salvation was
first presented TO the Jews, but they
rejected the gospel and Crucified the
Savior. Then the Gentiles were call
ed upon to partake Of the great feast,
while the Jewish nation was dis
rupted and scattered throughout the
earth.
Have We Accepted?
In reading the excuses of those in
vited guests we are forcibly reminded
OF many of the reasons offered nova

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Lesson text. Luke 1A:7-2A
We take up the narrative again at
he point where Jesus was criticised
Tor healing a dropsical man on the
sabbath day. The Savior was the in
lted guest of pharisee al dinner
and It is thought by some that the
Ack man had been hidden TO the

against His unorthodox teachings At
my rate, he silcuced their fault-fnd-
ng though they remained silently

II was thon that Jesus called atten-
lion 10 the unseomly scramble for

matte function AT our national capital,

aIdercd a matter Of much importance.
special seats were reserved for hon

Egotism Doesn't Pay.

that a man gets along better in this
world by pushing himself forward
and trying TO get all that is coming

standpoint Of this life only We might

A Lesson In Hospitality
We all know some Of the joys OF
doing favors to others, but too many
of us favor those who not only do
rot need ouhhelp, but at whose hands
we expect like return OF favors.
Let each of us examine his heart
and see how many times he has ever
done a good turn to somebody that he
did not expect sometime TO reap re-
ward, either in equivalent or with in
terest. Nay, we are more apt to make
sure Of recompense before We are
willing 10 extend the favor But Jesus
gives us a different view of the hos
pitality. We are to give our good
gifts to those who need our help,
without any expectation or promise of
our being paid back. In other words,

PRAISES ARTICLES ]. OF DR. CUNNINGHAM Dr. Wyman Thinks Bulletins of Health Officers Are
 Doing Much Good
To the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The 'Age-Herald
 I want to commend The Age-Herald for giving Its valuable space in the publication of the excellent, very prac- tical and timely health bulletins written every week for The Sunday Age-Herald by our distinguished city health officer, Dr. R. M. Cunningham.
 I know of no effort in recent years which is doing more to educate the public along health lines than these interest ing and instructive health bulletins. They are written in language which is not technical, so that any layman may un- derstand The people are reading them and manifest great interest in each weekly topic. I hear nothing but the most favorable comments on all sides. These bulletins are not only educational but will prove of great help fin the crusade which Is being made in the city for the prevention of the spread of com municable diseases. The day is not far distant in my opinion when under the wise administration of our able and ef- deient city health officer typhoid and other communicable diseases will be re- Iduced to a. minimum and Birmingham will not only become a city beautiful, but one of the healthiest cities in the United States.
 All praise to our city health officer and our city commissioners who are CO., operating with him to aid the important work which he has undertaken and which is sure to bring the most happy results in improvement in health con- ditions in our rapidly growing city.
