CHAPTER vi.
A Friend in Need.

1t seemed to Ninette that a hundred
years must have passed While she stood
there, staring at Peter Nothard with
terrified eyes.
The watch in her hand was ticking
loudly and cheerily, and the fire crackled
as If beseeching everyone to forget every
thing but the comfort and warmth which
it offered, then Nothard took a step for
ward, the cynical smile in his eyes chang
Ing to a puzzled sort Of expression.
where have I seen you befors?' he
asked sharply.
Ninette found her voice then, with an
effort
/"This afternoon-in your office, Il
belong to Josh Wheeler"
Good lord - The mans shrewed eyes
searched her face with swift under
and her eyes were too large for her face
After a moment: How did you know

thing about You. was passing, and !

spoke without expression, as II she had
learnt the words off by heart, and
when sha stopped speaking she CROPPED
backward for the nearest chair and sat
down wea KY.
"I'm so tired she said IN a whisper.
The room was floating round her, and
there was aNsinging noise in her ears.
Il was only with al effort that she kept
herself from falling
Nothard walked out Of the room: he

first glimpse OF Whceler's pallid face had

stood there, bending little over him.
her hand on his shoulder.
Come away" Nothard said again.
sle turned then and looked at him
across her shoulder and suddenly her
eyes dilated and she began to shake as
she read the shocked compassion on his
face
Twice her lips moved before she could
frame eny words then She said IN a
cracked, difficult voice:
"He's dead, isn't he?"
yes" It seemed the kindest thing to
tell her at once, but the scene he had
expected never followed she CAV a great
shudder and for an instant shut her
"Dead--Josh." she whispered with
white lips.
Notbard put an arm around her and
led her away; she came quite unre-
sistingly. walking like dgure asleep.
At the doorway he stumbled against
the basket OF food he had brought with
him. and an angry pang Of remorse
shot through his heart as he realized
how little he had been too late.
This afternoon, when this girl called
at HIS office, he might have been able
50 help her; he might have been able
to save Josh Wheeler's life; but now"
He took her downstairs and called to
the woman who kept the house. She
came from the kitchen. surprised into
Immediately obeylng his summons.
There was a smell Of fried fish from
the kitchen behind her, and loud, noisy
laughter.
Nothard looked at her in the waver-
ing light of the lamp she carried, and
shuddered.
THE man upstairs IS dead" he said
curtly rs there any one here who can
look after this girl for tonight"
The woman stared at him, then she
laughed rudely.
"Dead is he? About time. too.

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The parish survey map OF the Dover
feature of the Sunday school exhibit
at the Kansas Free Fair. Dover is in
the center of the map and the parish
radius. Every home in, the parish is
located on the map. In March three
churches of separate denominations
federated and the survey map is used
in making an intensive campaign to
better the religious, social and eco
nomic life of the community, The
federation at Dover is being worked
out under entirely new plans for this
part of the country and is still in an
experimental stage.
The plan will be copied all over
Kansas when it is further developed,
according to the Rev Mr.. CLAM pas
tor of the church.
The basketry and clay modelling ex-
hibits are also of interest. They were
made by the pupils or the various
vacation schools held at different
churches. " ~
A unique Sunday school map, show
ing all the Sunday schools in Shawnee
county outside of Topeka is on exhi-
bition. The map was made by Mrs.
S. M Fergus, of Topeka. Topeka is
the central point where the county ex-
ecutive offices are located. The coun-
ty is divided into nine districts. Thumb
taeks are placed on the location of the
Sunday schools. A ribbon is extended
from Topeka to each of the nine dis
tricts and in the districts a ribbon
branches off to each of the Sunday
schools. AS a result one can readily
see where Sunday schools are lacking.
The Sunday school exhibit this year is
an Improvement over last year.
