At about the time when Sam Mar
lowe was having the momentous inter
view with his father, described in the
last chapter, Mr.. Rufus Bennett woke
from an after-luncheon nap in Mrs.
Hignett's delightful old-world mansion,
Windles. liz the county of Hampshire
He had gone to his room after lunch,
because there seemed nothing else to
do. 1t was still raining hard, so that
a ramble in the picturesque garden was
impossible, and the only alternative to
sleep, the society Of Mr.. Henry Morti-
mer, had been one peculiarly distaste-
full to Mr.. Bennett.
Much y has been written Of great
Friendships between man and man,
friendships which neither woman can
mar nor death destroy. Rufus Bennett
had always believed that his friendship
for Mr.. Mortimer was Of this order.
They had been boys together in the
same small town, and had kept to-
gether in after years. They had been

than. But never till now had they been
cooped up together in an English coun-
try house in the middle of bad patch
Of English summer weather. So this
afternoon Mr.. Bennett, in order to
avoid his lifelong friend, had gone to
bed.
He awoke now with start, and a
moment later realized what 1t was
that had aroused him. There was
music in the air. The room was full Of
1t. 1t seemed to be coming up through
the floor and. rolling about in chunks
all round his bed. He blinked the last
fragments Of sleep out of his system,
and became filed with restless irrita-
bility.
He rang the bell violently, and pres
emily there entered grave, thin, INTEL

The valet withdrew like a duke leay-
ing the royal presence, not actually
walking backwards. but giving the i'm
preston Of doing so. Mr.. Bennett lay
in bed and fumed. Presently the valet
returned. The music still continued to
roll about the room.

CHENEY NORMAL. HEAD DECLARES BIBLES
 VITAL STUDY
"RIDlcULOUS" THAT BOOK CAN. NOT BE READ IN PUBLIC
 SCHOOLS OF STATE

SPOKANE June 2-Declaring that it is ridiculous that the Bible cannot be read in the public schools of this state, N. D. Showalter, principal of the Cheney state normal school told the Inland Empire Sunday School con- yentiOn here today that no "one can teach properly without q knowledge of it."
 Principal Showalter declared that because Biblical allusions run through the literature of the day and that a great many of our laws are based on the Bible, knowledge of the Scrip lures is necessary to a well-rounded education. He decried a lack of religi- ous development among young people of today and said that fifty per cent of the pupils in our schools are with, out a concern for religion.
 The executive committee of the as- sociation today recommended reorgan- ization of the organization in compli- ance with ehe merger plan of the In ternational Sunday School association and the Sunday School council ot Evangelical Denominations at Kansas City last June and recommended also that the present officers of the asso. citation continue to serve until Novem- Der, when the merger would become effective.
