 You mustn't talk to me-like that" It hurt to rebuke him even slightly.
 But I can't talk any other way 70 you. I've known you for three days, and for three days I've adored you. It isn't a feeting thing, Lady Fair. It's something that's rooted deep in me--it was there from the beginning, but I didn't know 1t. of course, until I saw you

NEW YORK, June 16.-The statute legalizing nuncupative, or unwrft- ten wills made by soldiers on the battlefields, or mariners at sea. was invoked today to give Miss Eleanor Knapp of Brooklyn the s23,oOo estate left her by her soldier sweetheart, Ernest c. Mason. who was one of the wars unrecorded casualties.
 Surrogate Wingate declared Ma son legally dead and held that a love letter he had written the young woman from the trenches. backed by testimony of a conversation he had had with a buddy" just before hls zero hour" on the Hindenburg line, were sufficient evidence of the disposition Mason wished to make of his estate.
 Mason dropped out of sight in a German prison camp in October. 191S, after he had been taken prisoner in battle on September 27. AlthouS h no record of him ever was found, It was assumed he was dead as before he disappeared he had been critically All of influenza and without medical attention.

October 18th was the actual publi- cation date of the Goodspeed New Testament" that remarkable attempt to be thoroughly American with the Bible. Practically every critic in the land has had his say on the volume, with yehemence ard even contempt, yet the New Testament is going into 655, ,000 homes daily through serial publication by fourteen metropolitan newspapers. Into thousands of oth- CTS il is being broadcast by radio on Sunday evenings. And now it reaches the stalls, in two styles, the regular and the pocket edition. You have probably read many samples of what the publisher calls a "reverent, schol- arly translation. the nearest known counterpart to the actual language in which the New Testament messages were first delivered" But have you read this beautiful passage from the Acts of the Apostles:
 As he said this in his defense, Fcs- tus called out:
 You are raving mad. Paul. Your great learning Is driving you madl"
 s'T am not raving, your Exceileney Festus," said Paul, T am telling the sober truth. The king knows about this, and I can speak to him with free dom. I do not believe that he missed any of this. for it did not happen in corner. King Agrippa, do you be- lieve the prophets? l know that you doi''
 You are in hurry to persuade me and make a Christian of mel" Agrip- pa said to Paul.
 ''In a hurry or not" said Paul, 'I would to God that not only you but all who hear me today, might be what am-exeept for these chains!"
