2OD. c. ROWEN|TES
CALMLY AWAIT END
Brother AIpin of Takoma
Park Says Sign Will Come
to Group Soon.

Unf1inching and firm in the belief that
the worlds end impends. the little group
of Rowenite followers here today were
awaiting the sign foretelling the begin
ming of the end, confident, despite its
failure thus far to appear, that Christ
would leave heaven after midnight to-
night on His journey to earth to con-
duct the last judgment.
That Christ, the son of the living
God, will leave heaven after midnight
February 6. 1926" is the message on
which they pin their faith. 1t was pro-
claimed definitely today by Brother E.
Alpin, leader of the band of 20 workers
and preachers here, to be the absolute
revelation which Mrs. Rowen had re-
ceived.
But that does not necessarily mean
the end of the world tomorrow,
Brother Alpin points out. 1t depends
on Divine will as to how long God
will take in coming to earth. 1t is
admittedly within His power to ap-
pear in an instant. But, Brother
Alpin states, God will come as
king of kings, and he shows by dem
onstration that the formal procession
of even a king on this earth, which
is but feeble comparison, Is not one
of haste, but one of dignity.
Unable to Fix Hour.
When will the end Gomez" he was
asked point-blank.
mo man can say exactly the minute
1t will come" he replied. But the
period of probation ends at midnight
tonight and it will not be long there
after until the coming"
Content in this he1iaf uyorl-
are serenely waiting today for that
sign. When the sign will come is
problematical also. 1t is difficult to
imagine, Brother Aplin points out,
that the sign will come at night. All
things, of course, are possible to God,
it is stated, but how men can see a
dark cloud at night Is something be-
yond the ken OF man, Brother Alpin
admits.
The work is DONE" he says. Houses
which have not been ordered for the
last judgment have scarcely time now
to be put in order. The word has
been spread. The message has been
delivered. The time is at hand. We
are waiting, just waiting. We are
ready.
Message Given in Time.
"we are merely the messengers.
We have pla our message in al
most every city street, and every one
had plenty of opportunity to inquire
into it. How many have become con-
vinced we have no way of knowing"
Those who are waiting are doing
only the routine duties and chores.
One man engaged in building house
is still building it just to keep his
time occupied until the time. Others
who have given up employment in
commercial life and industrial fields
are around and about their houses,
content merely to wait and seek the
sign. Brother Alpin is merely pay
ing a few calls about the neighbor-
hood, talking with his friends.
There will be no set gathering to-
night for devotions. it was stated.
That time is past. All are as well
prepared as they can be for the COM
| ing.

BRITISH EMBASSY
SOLD TO WARDMAN
New Building to Cost $780,
600 Will Be Erected on
Massachusetts Avenue.

Following an interview with Sir
Esme Howard the British Ambassa-
dor Harry Wardman, local real estate
man and builder, announced today
that he had purchased the present
British embassy, at Connecticut avenue
and N streets, ana would erect a
new embassy building on lot for
merly owned by the Wardman Con-
struction Co, on Massachusetts ave-
nue. near Observatory Circle. The
sale price is understood to have been
$500, 600.
Mr.. Wardman announced that his
company would construct an office
building. either 10 or II stories high,
on the site.
The new embassy. it is said, also
will cost s500,o0D. and the size of the
ground upon which it is to be built is
1S5, 600 square feet.
Gardens are planned to surround the
new embassy site, to be used for formal
garden parties and other social func-
tions.
Wardman Visited Britain.
1t was confidentially known that
Mr.. Wardman during his visit to
EHSldHu last summer look the QueS-
tion of a new embassy home up with
the authorities of the government
over there. 1t was understood that
while the British officials felt the
need of a new embassy building in
the United States for some time they
desired first to dispose of the old
property before undertaking to build
a new structure.
Following Mr.. Wardman's visit to
England Sir Lionel Erie, secretary .ot
public works for the British govern
ment paid visit to Washington fol
the purpose of looking at a number
of proposed sites. Mr.. Wardman al
that time was in conference with Sir
Lionel The Wardman Construction
Co. will erect a new building and it Is
expected that it will be completed
within two years.
The present British embassy was
built in 1873 and served admirably
| it's purpose until the World War
when it was found necessary to build
temporary buildings in the grounds
of the embassy to accommodate the
increased activities. Since that time
| It has been found inadequate to serve
| the purposes for which it was in
tended, and that, together with the
development of Connecticut avenue
into a commercial artery, it is under
stood, are main reasons for the con-
struction of a new embassy.

CHAPTER ~

Sandy lurched from him, ordering
in q low, furious tone: Don't touch
me! Don't move. III scream. I'll
bring the whole town On you. Don,
follow me-"
He turned gray, moisture hecking
his lips. Sandy, with her blood
pounding noisily, hurried down the
block. ducking into the office where
May Arliss worked. It was an in
surance office, the windows on a Level
with the street.
May, shifting a huge policy from
her typewriter, greeted Sandy warmly.
'Party's tomorrow night, Mac. Com
ingy"
''Of course! / dropped in 10 In
quire If I'd been scratched from the
guest list" said Sandy, excitedly, won

absently. Guess he saw you. Hes

"Yonder-second turn to your LETT. "
Holding her breath, Sandy sped be-
tween the high counters. She reached
the door, heard Mays casual After
noon, Ben"
With a short, hysterieal laugh she
pulled open the moist, crumpled let
tiers. The words swan glowingly. She
drank them avidly, then tore the pages
to minute shreds.
Hard, poised. utterly reckless, she
returned smiling to meet him.
Murillo bowed stiffy: TN drive

She set a quick pace. doubled It,
noted with glittering malice his charg-
ing breath, the clenching Of his fists.
The hills were nude and brown In
the bright, wintry sun. The water
looked 50 clean in its blue, chilly radi
ance. Sandy swung along, arrogant,
thrilled with defiance. With a blithe
gesture she pointed TO hills and
waves: Beautiful scenei"
You'll pay for this!"
She laughed.
Finally they reached the house.

when he kissed her.
But at midnight when abe went
padding about her room. her feet chill
ed. her heart on fire, she asked her
self fearfully:
What am / doing?, How long can
/ do this-I wonder how long?"
And in the company of Alice and
her mother, she thought: What
would they say If they knew I went
to meet Ramon-sneaking out to ride
with him? Oh, what would Alice say
if told her Of Ramon-that ! kiss
him-that 1 fling my arms about
him."
She felt hard, enthusiastically
less. She listened to the girls who
had been her friends before her mar
riage-listened to their posing, their
brazen talk. She thought: II was
like that once! I thought I knew"
She went around with them, keep
ing these affairs secret from Murillo.
Spring came-the sweet early days
Of February. They were gathering at
Edna Stacy's. Someone said: What's
next?" There was a silence.
Sandy answered: Il guess It's my
turn"
Yes said May Arlis. Il guess

"Then make II next Saturday"
This was the first time Sandy had
invited the crowd to her house in the
evening.
She was inwardly athrob with ex.
element, that as the week advanced
turned to alarm. What il Murillo re-
NAMED home this weekend? What IL
he came in as these girls were all SIT

she would never know what beauti-

in this house a prisoner-compel her
to grow old-starved and defrauded as
Alice had been.
She thought about this, her senses
taking fire. Only s weakling-s de-

She wouldn't. She knew what il
was to stand in the moonlight clasped

She let herself daily with these
images of herself and Ramon. She sat
in Ida's room, the window on a level
with the garden and flushed exultant-
ly, recalling the fervor in his sunny
eyes.
She read and re-read his letters /:

now-bound by the hands you clasped
about me"
She went every day to the postoffice
TO get these letters. She looked for
ward to Ramon's visits-a subtle feel
ing stealing through her thoughts.
One day Murillo accosted her as she
was coming from the building: What
are you doing hereT
She had two letters, one from Ju-
dith and one from Ramon, In her

didn't take Alice seriously.
And Alice, who had the romantic

There were ten girls in the living

excitement. They talked with a quick
brightness, glancing about; taking in
the furniture with Photographic de.
