THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH

Funeral services for Mrs. e. E..
Rathert were held at the First
Presbyterian church last Sunday
afternoon at O'Clock, with the
Rev. s. A. Walker officiating.
The church was packed to
capacity with those who had come
70 pay final tribute to one who
had passed on. Many people be-
cause Of lack of space, stood
outside. An unusual profusion Of
flowers blanketed the casket and
banked the altar rail.
During the service the choir.
accompanied by Mrs. E. L. Ship
man, sang Face to Face" Zone
Sweetly Solemn Thought" and
Peace, Perfect Peace"
The sermon by the Rev. S. A.
Walker was both comforting and
inspiring and his words surround
ed with rare beauty the idea Of
the passing of a soul from the
physical into the spiritual world.
After his sermon the Eastern
Star lodge took charge of the SER
vices and the ritual services Of
the order were read by officers of
the local chapter. Mrs. Rathert
was one Of the charter members
of Riverside lodge, having been
member Of the Star club before
the lodge was organized.
Among those who were present
from out of town we're Mr.. and
Mrs. G. W. Scharf, Mrs. Rathert's
parents, from Kalispe1l; Don Rath-
ert of Cresco, Iowa, Mrs. W. e.
Rae of Great Falls, Mrs. G. B.
Koepke and Mrs. J. H.Josselyn of
Havre, and Charles Rathert from
Nissoula.
Mary Regena Scharf was born
July /, 1889, at Spencer, Iowa, and
March IL, 1908 at FesseDden, N.
Oak. she was married to F. E.
Rathert. Two sons were born to
them, Charles, who is a sophomore
az the University, and George.
In 1915 the family moved to Wolf
Point and Mrs. Rathert at once
identified herself with the social
and civic life of the young city,
endearing herself to the many
with whom she came in contact.
She was charter member of the
Civic League, which later became
the Woman's club. She was also
q member of the Presbyterian
church.
Although she had not been well
for some time previous, 1t was |
in June 1927 that she was dis
covered to have tuberculosis. She |
was at once taken to sanitarium |
at Denver where her condition i'm
proved so much that early last |
summer she was able to make the |
trip to the home of her parents
at Kalispell. Everything possible
was done for her, but a severe at
tack of pneumonia last November
sapped her strength and she was
never able to regain the lost
ground.
She was of gay, happy dis
position, loving fun and joy and
activity, but Illness became her
portion Then as she slept on the
morning of Feb. 1 the chains
which had bound her spirit to the
'railty of her body were loosed
and her soul was set free.
There are left her husband, F.
g. Rathert, her two sons, Charles
Ind George, her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Scharf, and one sister,
Mrs, G. H. Flint.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
oC1Eo

Oh slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle, and merciful and just
Who in the fear of God, didst bear
The sword of power, nations trust
In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe that bushes all,
And speak the anguish of a land
That shook with horror at thy fall.
Thy task is done; the bond are free;
We bear thee to an honored grave,
Whose proudest monument shall be
The broken fetters of the slave.
Pure was thy life; its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons of light
Among the noble host of those
Who pershed in the cause of Right.
William Cullen Bryant.

The tragic death of school child in Simsbury recently has in- spired the production of a Safety play" from the pens of Miss Ma. rion Bowen of this city and Miss Laura Barnes of Bristol. to be pre- scented next Wednesday at the State Normal school.
 Misses Bowen and Barnes, seniors at the local school. were pursuing 3 course of practice teaching and ob- serving at the Simsbury rural school when the child was run down by an automobile truck and killed instant ly.

The play was a signal success.
 Plans were then made to bring the entire student body of 22 boys and girls, the principal and tn, teacher. Miss Maude Tousignant here next Wednesday to put on the play at the Normal school auditor. ium. After the show, MT. Collier will speak. Misses Bowen ant Barnes will act as hostesses.

Chapter 21 PAYING THE PIPER

In the days following Henderson's S arrival, Ray scarcely saw 3arbara. Rarely did she tumble into bed un- til long after Ray was asleep. He had left for the office before she arose, and she had given up lunch ing With him in the city.
 Even when he did see her alone a rare occasion in itself-she would prattle continuously of parties, par ties, parties, until he felt that he could scream at the mention Of the word.
 Seldom did he accompany them on these occasions, pleading that late hours interfered with his office work. Soon, as was inevitable, since he invariably refused. Bar baras friends gave up inviting him.
 DO come, Barbara, and bring that charming English friend of yours, MT. Henderson" some girl or other would say over the phone. Were all so crazy about him!'
 No mention of Ray. At first this elimination of Ray, annoyed Barbara, and once she had been known to retort;
 why, yes. 1 think we shall be glad to come. All three of us. You're inviting Ray, of course.'
 "Of course, dear; careless of me not to have mentioned him. But guess I thought that, as usual, he'd be too busy to accept"
 Then just the faint suspicion of a laugh, implying that the speaker knew as well as Barbara that her words had been mere bluff, for wasn't it obvious that Barbara had no use for her husband when she had that attractive Englishman in tow?
 She did want Ray. It both hurt and exasperated her that he would never accept. But her own pride refused to allow her to plead with him. So it invariably happened that she and Henderson went alone
 Ray, on his part, found that these evenings he spent by himself were strangely precious. Not as precious, of course, had he and Bar bara been at home togcther-just the two of them but better, inf nitely, than being one of a crowd Of noisy, shrieking people.
 Directly she and Henderson were out of the house he would go up to his den, a room right at the top oi the house that contained little ir the way Of furnishing except 6 plano. Once there he would com. mence to play-usually a tune that had been running through his head all day some elusive melody he was determined to capture.
 Presently, he would forget his surroundings, imagining instead that he was on a platform leading an orchestra in some composition of his own. Then. at the conclu. sion, he would imagine the applause in that moment supremely con. scious of the thrill of recognized achievement.
 No longer Ray Lowther the pen.

 Ray had not intended to accom- pany Barbara and Henderson to Bertha Maitland's party. But since she had called him personally on the phone and had insisted that she had planned it on q Saturday night especially so that he might be there, he did not see how he could reasonably refuse. It was nothing unusual in the way of rarties, A jaded crowd, mu- sic from an electric Victrola; the whole house permeated by a forced hilarity that had little real fun be- meath it.
 Late in the evening Ray found himself momentarily isolated, a brunei he had been endeavoring to amuse having drifted away in the arms of some other man. Notic- | ing that men were in the majority, ! he felt no compunction in wander ing off into one of the adjoining rooms.
 It was small room, romantically darkened, the only light Altering through heavy purple lampshades. He smiled sardonically, thinking on the reason for this thusncss and. without more ado, flung himself at | full length into an armchair. | Presently his lids closed down and he felt himself floating away into space. For I while he fought against this feeling but, in the end, it must have conquered him for the next thing of which he was actively conscious was voices in a far cor ner of the room.
 Fully awake now, he wondered l whether the newcomers were ig- norant of his presence; they might we'll be since the back of his chair l hid him completely About to make some movement, he suddenly recognized from the voices that the man was Henderson and the girl Cora Munford, that last word in ! flappers

If you don't mind my saying it, an English girl of your age would have a self conscious air two pig-tails, an irritating giggle and a shiny nose."
 Cora Munford smiled. It was a smile that began with her eyes and worked slowly all over her face.
 q noticed that when I was abroad last year." she told him, they did seem awful dumb to me. Why. at one country house where l visited when they heard my age they ex- pected me to have dinner in the nursery with the kids"
 They both laughed.

 Cora appeared to be thinking.
 It's because we've got the pep, she announced finally. That! what counts in a girl. So long a! you've got pep, and plenty of it, yol can get any fellow you want"
 Henderson regarded her with { tolerant smile. This sophisticated kid he found vastly entertaining.
 And what sort of a fellow dt you want? If pep's your criterion then, without a doubt you'll lant him."
