Letter from Leslie Prescott to Ruh

 I have never seen Jack more shocked than he was at Harrys death, think that down deep in his heart he always expected that some day his ol1-ttme friend would turn up and make all things right, but even f he was never 10 do that, the moment Jack knew that Harry was dead ho crossed off all his wrongs from the slate Of his memory.
 You remember that stanza have often quoted you:
 T think in the lives Of both women
 and men
 That all would go smooth and r only the dead could know when
 To come back and ho forgiv'0.'
 Jack, as well as myself, think it would be splendid thing for us to have Miss Ellington with us l feel that Jack has an idea that somehow, somewhere, poor mis- guided Harry will know that he, as well as you, have forgiven hinl
 Really Ruth. although you may not care anything about fl one way or another, I think John likes you much better than he ever did be- fore because you have been SC quick to forgive your wrong at Harry's hands. Men always like 70 think that women are forgiving. They may arrogate justice 10 them selves but they always Insist that we shall be merciful,
 John will be over in Albany be- fore you get this letter and If you have not already heard from him. will you invite him over to dine with you and Waller? He will then meet Miss Ellington and they can both then decide if if will be best for her 10 come 10 u".
 The plan now is for Sally Ather- ton 10 come here as soon as pos sible and get things lived up at this and while Jack stays in Albany for a time 10 wind up his business. He does not intend to do anything about the apartment. Says that is my work, so after he returns shall come and pack up,
 Perhaps it will seem best for Miss Ellington to come over with Sally. would like very much 10 have her here before I leave. for want to be sure that little Jack Is going to like her,
 It Is also very necessary that she should like me.

 True. oh, Queen"
 Well - take 1t from me, you won't find them there"
 Wise stopped stock-still. Then there's no use going on."
 "Oh, come along - I might be mistaken of course, I never am, but there has to be a first time"
 You're an impertinent young thing. But, Zig, I've got to find those rubbers."
 Al right, we'll find 'em. You see - wait minute. Penny was the criminal one of the house peo- pie -- or not ."
 "Yes-1 think 1t was"
 Then it was either 8 man, or woman wearing a mans rubbcrs. Now, he or she we'll say he, meaning either sex - he must have hidden the rubbers, because he couldn't destroy them. You can't burn rubbors - they make such a smell - and you cant throw them down a waste pipe. I think they're hidden --- they're easy to hide, you see - and if they are, We ought to find them. So. all right, the Falls first. and after that all other pos sible places"
 But the most careful examination Of the Falls failed to disclose a discarded pair of rubhers,
 Malcolm Finley approached them as they stood there,
 "A curious case, Mir. Finley" Wise said. in the colloqual tone of one who addresses fellow en- thusiast.
 "Where are your clews leading you now, Mir. Wise?" Finley asked
 Nowhere, for the reason that I have few or no clews Except for he new overshoe, can find noth- ing 10 call a clew."
 "You call that one?"
 Most assuredly. If I can find those rUbbcrs--"
 You will convict somebody" Finley looked alarmed.
 "It may be so." Wise watchod him closely, without seeming to do so.

H0LDL|KE OPINIONS
Victory of Both Points to
I Thorough Accord Between
u. S. and Britain.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

l;v cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, November 5.--The Repub-
lean victory in America establishes
At least for four years a remarkable
'emperam entail affinity between the
White House and No. 10 Downing
street. for Stanley Baldwin, who
starts today his second term as prime
minister, is the British counterpart
OF President Coolidge.
Both chief executives are noted for
their calmness, simplicity and cool
hcadedness. They hold identical views
regarding the necessity for stability
il government. They represent in
their respective countries the con-
Servative opinion, and they hope to
maintain national progress, both COM
'nercial and political. by the same
methods of procedure.
Points to Thorough Accord.
All this points to thorough ac-
cord between the two great western
powers, with an immediate and ia
rorable reaction on the affairs not
merely of Europe but for the entire
civilized world.
President Coolidge and Prime Min
ister Baldwin stand for d determined
opposition to radical changes, espe-
cIaily in the field of politics. Where
PRESIDENT Coolidge won fame as an
uphoider of law and order in Boston
l'rime Minister Baldwin is equally
noied In GreatRritain as an advocate
or the same principles.
From the continental point of view
II may prove rather disturbing to
realize that these national leaders
mold such decided opinions on the
matter of international debts. Great
BrItain's new prime minister, it Will
oe remembered, put through a settle
inent of the debt to the United States,
and therefore he may be expected
within the near future to seek a sat
1Stactory arrangement of the debts
owing to his country from the allies,
who are at present backward in MAX.
ing payments.
Debt Issue Due.
Within the next month or 50 Great
Britain aud America will meet the
other allies in Paris for the purpose
OF dividing the rcparations payments.
and 1t is likely that some strong ar
guments along the line of acknowl-
edEment of the debts will be heard
from the British representative.
Prime Minister Baldwin has re-
pcatedly stated that only one method
exists for settling national debts and
that is by paying them. He un-
Aoubtedly will seek the easIiest op-
portunity of solving Europe's war
debt problem.
In the field OF domestic problems
Prime Minister Baldwin intends start
ing every line of work which was
dropped year ago. His main OBJ
jccts are to build up trade and com
merce, to strengthen the industrial
ties between the units of the empire.
10 reduce Unemployment, and to build
more houses In this task, he is
greatly aided by the knowledge that
his cotemporary in the White House
sees eye to eye with him and that they
are both assured a long term in office

Ter from DIR. Herbert Adams Gibbons
of Princeton, n. j., calling upon loo
leading Presbyterians of the country
10 follow him as defender of the faith
in Reputation of attacks upon the
Presbyterian foreign missionaries.
Dr. Gibbons is himself graduate of
Princeton Theological Seminary, a
member of the PreSbytery of Phila-

have travelled extensively. so that he

of the accused missionaries.
Text of Letter.
In his letter to Moderator Wishart,
DR.. Gibboc,s said, in part:
The attacks that have been di-

of its commissioned workers through

BRITISH KINGS RECTOR
WILL PREACH IN CITY
Will Occupy Pulpit at Bethlehem

One Of the most popular preachers
in England, Rev. G.. A. Studdert- Ken
neiy, chaplain to the king and rector
of st. Edmond's, London, will preach
at the 4 o'clock services February )
in Bethlehem chapel. National Cathe-
dral. The sermons will be broadcast.
Rev. Mr.. Studdert- t-kennedy served
as chaplain during the war, and was
decorated with the military cross. In
addition to his duties with the troops
at the front, he lectured and preached
to thousandd of men in both the Brit
ish and American armies, and his
ability to hold the attention of these
men was extraordinary. He Is nick
named "Woodbine Willie" because he
was always handing out the famous
Woodbine cigarettes. He is a preacher
of great boldness and visor and a
Staunch defender of the faith. His
picturesque language and keenness
of argument win the respect and ad-
miration of both the man in the street
and the man in the study. He has
lectured or preached in practically
every city and town in England. and
wherever he speaks crowds are turned
away.
He is now engaged as national mes

Urges General Appeal.
Let the board appeal to a hundred
who in the course of their travels In
recent years have visited our missions
in the far east and near east, In In
dia. in Africa and In Latin America.
I have no doubt of the verdict.
What is being written of the lack
Of faith in the doctrines of the church
and OF the lack of loyalty to the
church on the part of Presbyterian
missionaries is untrue. Even II we
did not know from personal investl-
untrue. 1t would be on the face Of 1t
absurd to assume that men and
women would have gone to the for
eign field with any other motive than
have remained there and have been
sustained there In any other way than
through the grace and strength that
come alone from the possession and
proclamation of the living faith.
'fThe Presbyterian board of foreign
missions has no reason for question
ing the abiding faith in Christ of Its
missionaries. their sincerity and abil-
ity in preaching the gospel, and their
proper and effective use Of funds
from enuoWWeHlS ana tne con lDu- =
tions of the churches. The sugges-
tion that members of the church
should investigate the orthodoxy of
individual missionaries and maxi
their contributions personally to
those particular missionaries of whom
the individual contributors approve
should be denounced and vigorously
combated by all who have at heart
the advancement Of the kingdom of
God. This suggestion is contrary to
RI of hE oh rsh ND
it W ere followed would prove disrup-
