fathers herd and sole owner in 1885.
During the partnership Imp. Scottish

Strongmow 1920.
Strongbow was retained for service
at Sittyton while Earl of Aberdeen
was imported and was used by l.. Pal
mcr, Sturgeon, No. Scottish Lord was
the best sire used in the COwan herd

many prize winners a. the fairs. In
1892 a young herd sired by him was
undCfcatcd at six state fairs This herd
was led by Lord Cowslip 9916S tha.

Waterloo Duches 9th by 31st Duke of
Airtlrie 5O831.

=.
At n vestry meeting of the Market
Square church Gail Sargent listens to a
discussion about the sale of the church
easements to Edward E. Allison. local
traction king, and when asked her opin-
ton of the church by Rev. Smith Boyd.
AayS.it is apparently lucrative business
&nrerprise. Allison takes Gail riding in
hfE motor car. When he suggests he is
entitled to rest on the laurels of his
achievements, she asks the disturbing
question: ''Why?" GAIL returning to her
Ilncse Jirn's home from her drive with Al
HSun. finds cold disapproval in the eyes
OF Rev. Smith Boyd. who is calling there

does the Midcontinent get to the
Crescent island tube?'
Right here" and Allison pointed to
his map. You come out Of the tube
to the l.. and c.. which has a long
time tracking privilege over fifty miles
of the Towando Valley, and tsrmi-
mates at Windfield. At Forgeson. how
ever, just ten miles after the L. and
L. leaves the Towando. that road"
us crossed by, our tracks," Urbank
eagerly interpreted. "The Midconti-
nent. after its direct exit, saves a
seventy-mile detour! Then it's a
straight shoot for Chicago! Straight
on again out west Why. Allison,
your route Is almost as straight as an
arrow! 1t will have three-hundred-
mile shorter haul than even the Inland
Pacific! You'll put that road out OF
the business! You'll have the king OF
transcontinental lines. and none can
ever be built that will save one kink!"
His neck protruded still further from
his collar as he bent over the map
Here you split OH from the MldcOntl-
nent's main line and utilize the White
Range branch; from Silverknob- NV
God!" and his mouth dropped oren.
"Why-why-why you cross the big
range over the Inland Pacific's own
tracks," and his voice cracked.
Edward E. Allison, his vanity graft
fed to it's very core, sat back COM
fortably, smiling and smoking, until
Urbank awoke.
81 suppose we can come to some ar
rangement," he mildly suggested.
Urbank looked at him still in daze
for a moment, and trace OF the
creases came back into his brow. then
they faded away.

inal." repeated Manning, with sly
smile at Gail. who now wore o little
red spot in each cheek.
Rev. Smith Boyds cold eyes turned
green, as he glanced at this daring
young person. In offending the dignity
of Market Square church she offended
his own.
what would you have us do?" he
quietly asked.
Retire from business" she iu-
formed him, nettled by the covert
sheer at her youth and inexperience.
She laid aside a new perplexity for
future solution. In moments such as
this the rector was far from minis.
terial, and he displayed Quickness to
anger quite out Of proportion to the
apparent cause. 'The whole trouble
with Market Square church Is that
they have no God. The creator has
been reduced to formula"
Daddy Manning saved the rector the
pain of any answer.
you're a religious anarchist" he
charged Gail.
Her face softened.
"By no MEANS" she replied. Il am
a devoted follower Of the divine spirit.
the divine will, the divine law; but
not of the church; for it has forgotten
these things
"You don't know what you are say
Ing" the rector told her.
THAT isn't all you mean" she re-
torted. What you have In mind Is
that, being a woman, and young.
should be silent. You would not per-
NIT thought il you could avoid 1t, for
when people begin to think. religion
lives but the church dies, as 1t is doing
today"
Now Rev. Smith Boyd could be
triumphant. There was curl OF sar-
casm on his lips.
Are you quite consistent" he
charged. You have just been object
ing to the prosperity of the church"
Financially" she admitted; "but 1t
is a spiritual bankrupt. Your financial
prosperity is direct sign OF your re-
ligious decay. Your financial bank
ruptcy will come later, as 1t has done
in France, as it is doing in Italy, as 1t
will do all over the world. Humanity
treats the church with the generosity
due a once valuable servant who has
outlived his usefulness"
"My dear child, humanity can never
do without religion" interposed Daddy
Manning.
Agreed" said Gail; "but 1t out
grows them. 1t outgrew paganism.
idolatry, and score of minor phases
in between Now it is outgrowing the
religion of creed, in its progress to-
ward morality. What we need is 8

''And how much year does Market
Square church take out Of Vedder
court?"
Il was waiting for that bit of i'm
pertinence." laughed Manning. Il
shall be surprised at nothing you say
since that first day when you char
acterized Market Square church as q
remarkably lucrative enterprise. Have
you never felt any compunctions of
conscience over that?"

III have to give your soul chas-

people must live somewhere, and be-
cause Vedder court. being church
property, Is exempt from taxation,
they find cheaper rents here than any
where in the city. II we were to put
up improved buildings, don't know
where they would go, because we
would be compelled to charge more

I'm order to make the same rate OF
profit" responded Gail. "Out Of all
