the word of God proclaimed lt Is fhe revelation of God as recorded in the Bible, made effective in Christ and spoken to those who hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches" {"
 In this sense the minister Is a true prophet of God making known ln this dlspensation the will of God, revealing God Co the world.
 (2l And again in the opening chapter Of Cor, Paul writes, "it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching Go save them that believe. % In their concelt the Corinthians rated the preaching of the word as "fool- ishness" as compared with their own wisdom. Nevertheless, declares Paul. ! it is by just such God-ordained means that salvation is come to men: Pro claim the message" urges Paul, for it Is the power of God unto saliva ton. He does not mean that the message is the power Of God, but the gospel the good tidings of Gods love, which it conveys lt is the preaching Of the gospel which brings about the regeneration of the individual of so- ciety of the world.
 II. And this leads to the second lesson suggested by Paurs injunction, viz the minister's supreme message is "the word" Preach the word, says Paul

 The word written leads to- and points back to Christ. The word made flesh reveals the love of God through Christ The word spoken proclaims salvation in Christ And the true preacher. the real messenger of the evangel. has no other message.

knights and ladies, ranged behind

for the royal quadrille. 1t was the old

dance for yeahs!" she sighed. Isn'e
Shirley too sweet? If All had hair like
hers, All wouldn't speak to a soul on

The exigencies of the figure gave no
space for answer, and presently, after
certain labyrinthine evolutions, Shir~
ley's eyes were gazing into his again.
How adorable you look" he whis-
pered, as he bowed over her hand.
How does it feel to be queen?'
'"This little head was never made to
wear a crown" she laughed. Queens

The music swept the rest away, bus

gave her that made her heart throh
wildly as she glided on.

victor of this our tourney, and do
charge him now to choose his Queen
OF Beauty, that all may do her hom-
agei"
Shirley saw the horse coming down
the line, it's rider bareheaded now,
and her heart began to race wildly.
Beyond wanting him to take part, she
had not thought. She looked about
her, suddenly dismayed. People were
smiling at her and clapping their
hands. From the other end of the
stand she saw Nancy Chalmers throw
ing her kiss, and beside her tall
pale girl in champagne-color staring
through jeweled lorgnette.
She was conscious all at once that
the f1anneled rider was very close
that his pike-point, with it's
big red blossom, was stretching up to
her.
With the rose in her hand she curt
sled to him, while the blurred throng
cheered itself hoarse, and the band
struck up You Great Big Beautiful

the tune of which the noise finally sub
sided to a battery of hilarious con-
gratulations which left her flushed and
a little breathless. Nancy Chalmers

the way; they knew him in New
York"
"Katharine's lighting her incense
now, l guess" observed Silas Fargo.
See there!" He pointed across the
stand, where stood a willowy tan fig
ure, one hand reckoning to the con-
course below, where Valiant stood, the
center of a shifting group, round which
the white bulldog, mad with recovered
liberty, tore in eccentric circles.
AS they looked, she called softly,

Shirley saw him start and face
about, then come quickly toward her.

AS Shirley turned away little later
with the major, that whispering voice
seemed to sound in her ears-"John!
John!" There smote her suddenly the
thought that when he had chosen her
his Queen of Beauty, he had not seen
the other-had not known she was
there.
A few moments before the day had
been golden; she went home through
a landscape that somehow seemed to
have lost its brightest glow.

CHAPTER XIV.
Katharine Decides,

Katharine left the field of Runny-
mede with John Valiant in the dun
colored motor She sat in the drivers
seat beside him, while the bulldog ca
pered, ecstatically barking, from side
to side of the rear cushions Her
father had declined the honor. remark
ing that he considered a professional
chauffeur a sufficient risk of his valua-
bic life and that the Chalmers grays
were good enough for him-a decision
which did not wholly displease Katha-
rine.
The car was not the smart Pan
hard in which she had so often spun
down the avenue or along the she'll
reads of the north shore. 1t lacked
those fin-de-siecle appurtenances which
marked the ne plus ultra of it's kind,
as her observant eye recognized; but
it ran staunch and true The powerful
hands that gripped the steering-wheel
were brown with sun and wind, and
the handsome face above it had a look
of keenness and energy she had never
surprised before. They passed many
vehicles and there were few whose oc-
cupants did not greet him. In fact,
as he presently remarked, it was a
saving of energy to keep his hat off;
and he tossed the Panama into the
rear seat. On the rim of the village
a group raised cheer to which he
nodded laughingly, and further on a
little old lady on a timid vine-colored
porch beside a church, waved a black
mitted hand to hiEl with a sweet Old
time gesture. Katharine noted that he
bowed to her with extra care.
That's Miss Matte Sue Mabry," he
said, the quaintest, dearest thing you
ever saw. She taught my father his
letters"
Where the Red Road stretched level
before them, he threw the throttle
open for a long rush through the
thymy-scented air. The light, late
afternoon breeze drew by them, sweep
ing back Katharine's graceful sinuous
veil and spraying them with odors of
clover and sunny fruit. They passed
orchard clumps bending with young
apples, boundless aisles of green,
young-tasseled corn and shadowy
groves that smelled of fern and sassa-
fras, opening out into more sunlighted
vistas Overarched by the intense pene-
trable of the June sky.
John Valiant had never seemed to
her SO wholly good to see. with his
waving hair ruffling in their flight and
the westering sun shining redly on his
face. Midway of this squirt he looked
at her to say: Did you ever know a
more beautiful countryside? See how
the pink-and-yellow of those grain
fields fades into the purple of the hills.
Very few painters have ever captured
tint like that. It's like raspberries
crushed in curdled milk"
I've quite lost my heart to, it all"
she said, her voice jolting with the
speed of their course. It's a perfect
pastoral so different from
our terrific city pace. OF
course it must be trifle dull at times

ways and without the thea
ter and the opera and the whirl about

Southern essay as a quickly passing
incident, q colorful chapter whose
page might any day be turned. But
ii was impossible to mistake his mean
ing Clearly, he was deeply infatuated
with this Arcadian experience and had
no thought at present but to continue
it indefinitely.
They were passing the entrance of a
cherry bordered lane, and without TAX
ing his hands from the gear, he
nodded toward the low broad-eaved
dwelling with it's Towering arbOrs that
showed in flashing glimpses of brown
and red between the intervening trees.
THE palace of the queen!" he said
Rosewood, by name"
She looked in some curiosity. Clear
ly, if not a refuge of genteel poverty,
neither was it the abode of wealth
so, from her assured rampant of the
Fargo millions, Katharine reflected
complacently. The girl was a local
lavorite, of course-he had been tact
ful as to that It was fortunate, in
way, that he had not seen her, Katha-
rine, III the grand stand until after
ward. Feeling toward her as she be-
lieved he did, with his absurd direct
ness, he would have been likely to
drop the rose in her lap, never re-
fiecting that, the tourney being a local
function the choice should not fall up
on an outlander.
The slowing of the car brought her
back to the present, and she looked
up to see before them the great gate of
GLADDEN. Hall. She did not speak till
they had quite stopped.
Then, as her hand lay in his for
farewell, You are right in your de-
cision," she said softly. This is your
place You are Valiant of Virginia.

ginning to see all it means to you
Her voice held a lingering indefln-
able quality that was almost sadness,
and for that one slender instant, she
opened on him the unmasked batteries
of her glorious gray eyes.

The tournament ball at Damory
Court that night was more than an
event. The old mansion was an ire
sistible magnet The floor of it's yell
low parlor was known to be of delecta-
bic hugeness. It's gardens were le-
gend. The whole place, moreover, was
STEPPED in the very odor of old mys-
terry and new romance. Small wonder

Eyes arched with fan-shielded whfss

they turned back over powder-wbit0
shoulders. followed their swallow-like
movement. From an overwhelming
circle of masculine devotees Katharine
Fargo watched them with smile that
cloaked an increasing and unwelcome
question.
Katharine had never looked more
handsome; a critical survey of her
mirror at GLADDEN. Hall had assured
her of that. Never had her poise been
more superb, her toilet more enrapture
ing; She was exquisitely gowned in
rosE-colored mousselfne-de-soie, ems
broidered in tiny brilliants laid on in
Greek patterns. From her neck, in q
single splendid loop Of iridescence
against the rosy mist, depended those
fabulous pearls-"the kind you SIM
ply can't believe" as Betty Page con-
fided to her partner-On whose news
paper reproduction (actual diameter)
metropolitan shop-girls had been wont
to gaze with glistenfng eyes; and with
in their milky circlet, on her rounded
breast. trembled three pale gold-veined
orchids.
Watching that quadrille through her
dropping emerald-tinted eyes, she had
received a sudden enlightening impress
sion of ShirIey's fiawless beauty. At
the tournament her fleeting glimpse
had adjudged the other merely sweetly
pretty The Chalmers surrey had
stopped en- route for Shirley, but in
her wraps and veil she had then been
all but invisible. This had been Kaths
arine's first adequate view, and the
sight of her radiant charm had the
effect almost Of blow
For Katharine, be it said, had wholly
surrendered to the old, yet new, ata
traction that had swept her on the
tourney field. And what had lain ala
ways in the back Of her mind as half
formed intention, had become q self
admitted purpose during the motor
ride.
In another moment the waltz fainteG

and presently the host, in his crimson
cloak, was dofing his plumed hat be4
fore her. Circling the polished floor
in the maze, there was something
gratefully like former days in the as
sured touch the true and ready guid=
ance. The intrusive question faded.
He was the John Valiant she had ala
ways known, of flashing repartee and
graceful compliment, yet with touch
of dignity, too-as beftted the lord
of a manor-which sat well upon him,
After decorous dozen of rounds, she
took his arm and allowed her perfect
figure to be conducted through the
various rooms of the ground floor,
chatting in quite the old-time way, till
a new gallant claimed her.
The mellow strings made on their
merry tune. and at length the Wash.
ington Post marched all in flushed
unity of purpose to the great muslin
walled porch with IT'S array Of tables
grooming under viands concocted by
Aunt Daphne for the delectation of
the palate-weary.
And then once more the WaltZ-strain
supervened and in the yellow parlor
joy was again unconfned.
Again Valiant claimed Katharine
and they glided off on THE Beautiful
