interview Benjamin at the house of
David"
That's probably It," said we.
So we clumb into a texescab and
out we went to the House of David.
At the House Of David we we're
stopped by bearded gent who ask
ed what we wanted.
81 am Mr., Kendall from The Trib-
une," says |. II want to talk to Ben
jamin."
What about?" says the lady.
About the cult" l says.
"Mr. Benjamin won't talk to any
reporters from Chicago" says the
lady.
why not" says l.
Because the Chicago papers al
ways give him the worst OF It" says
she.
So finally l got hold Of Mr.. Ben.
jamin's secretary and he asked me
what wanted and said | wanted
to argue religion with him. So he
said what did l want to know. So
didn't know what TO say SO l asked
him why they all wore boards. So he
said it was according to scripture.
How about St. Paul" says.
What about him?" says he.
He didn't wear a beard" | says.
Maybe he couldn't grow one, -
says he.
So that ended that argument and
he didn't know If ST. Paul had q
beard or not, but when l got out and
got TO thinking it over l remembered
that it was St. John that didn't have
beard and was going back and
tell the man and steer him right, but
then thought to myself why should
| tell him because if he had any real
information he wouldn't be here.
So then We rode back on the st.
car to Benton Harbor and took the
boat back to Chi and Guy Howe on
board the boat wanted to know what
/ was doing over there and for 4
minute couldn't tell him, but finally
| remembered that | came over there
to find out why they wore boards
and couldn't find out. So the
whole trip was failure.

ordinary glass she could plainly see

Helen looked toward Seagrue's

she could recover the precious find it

How could she recover it? With
fast kindling hatred OF its dishonest
possessor, a dozen projects for regain

The more she thought the more I'M

scheme that could be carried out in

Helen's gaze rested modestly on her
table. She seemed to contemplate the
picture with q quiet pleasure. Then
she looked slowly up at Seagrue.
