CHAPTER w
Martin Was Right

The first thought that flashed into
her mind when she saw the woman
who was sitting at the specified table
was that there must be some mistake
about it. Noting the black hat and
the dark blue dress didn't altogether
do away with it, either. She'd ex-
pected a very different-looking person.
This woman looked-rather nice. She
had delicate features and blue eyes,
and you'd guess her age in the early
twenties-well, twenty-fve-or not
much over.
The instant she saw Rhoda she got
up and came around the table to meet
her. I'D know you anywhere, Miss
McFarlandl' she said. 81 was sure
| wasn't mistaken. You're your ia
theirs daughter, all right"
There flashed into Rhoda's memory
something Martin had said about the
woman at the Alhambra; that she
looked younger, somehow, than her
voice sounded. 1t settled any pos
sible doubt about her identity. This
woman's voice was hard and metallic,
with the silver plating worn off in
spots.-She mustn't be thinking things
like this! She must talk! She had
a rehearsed line that would do. "It's
perfectly marvellous to meet some one
who knew my father" she said.
Lets not try to talk" the woman
suggested cozily, until we've settled
the important question of lunch"
Her manners, Rhoda reflected, be-
longed with her voice rather than with
her looks. She insisted on ordering
an extravagant lunch, and the way
she OVERRIDE Rhoda's protest was
rather too self-satisfied.
II guess the first thing you'll want
to know" she began as soon as they
were rid of the waiter, sis how

is such thing as luck, really. saw

Rhoda heard an edge in the hard
voice that suggested she wanted to

Chronic Coughs Have Many

So0SCSs
For persons who have been afraid to
go to the doctor because of that
troublesome cough which might turn
out to be tuberculosis, the Educational
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association today issues an
official reminder that a chronic cough
with expectoration may mean any
number of things besides tuberculosis
1t may mean genuine bronchitis,
for instance, or the result of a sinus
infection or of the consequences of
heart disease or simply a failing elias
ITCHY of the lungs that comes with old
age.
All of them are serious and require
treatment, but all of them, including
tuberculosis, usually respond to treat

cause of any fear of what dread things
may be uncovered.

may come in contact with the blood

Heart disease is quite frequently the
real cause of chronic cough in the older
groups" the bulletin says "It comes
about when the heart fails to pump
blood through the lungs at a speed
sufficient to prevent congestion and its
resultant spilling of fluid into the air
passages. The presence of this fluid
in the bronchi excites the cough. The
condition clears up with rest and

Then there is tendency for the
lungs to lose their elasticity through
advancing age. The whole structure

AMERICAN LEGION TO PRESENT
PASSION PLAY AT HIBBING

The people of the ranges will have
an opportunity to witness the Fret
burg Passion Play when it comes to
Hibbing on January 1926, under the
auspices of the American Legion of that
city. An excellent idea will be given
of the drama as it existed in the early
days when it was created, fostered and
promoted by the church. In those days
the guilds and choirs presented biblical
scenes and pageants under the direc-
ton of the clergy.
Probably this would have continued
if the authors of the more modern plays
had been more particular about the
manner in which they presented sacred
characters and the words they required
them to speak. They, themselves. have
their own actions to blame for the
gradual lessening of the great dramatic
influence of the theatre and constantly
widened the abyss between the church
and stage.
Finally these plays branched out into
a realm that was too thick for the
clergy to countenance, and they were
forbidden; and for time theatre
going was frowned upon by the church,
which accounts for the breach that has
long existed.
Nowadays the church and stage are
becoming closer and closer again and
there are several organizations that
have for their chief object the pro-
motion of fraternal relationship. The
Passion Play is a good example of
what happened when the priest or bis
hop selected actors from his flock,
wrote plays and drilled them in the
performance, for the instructions and
entertainment of the congregation.
Such plays based upon the age-old
story of the Nazarene have been given
since the year of 1864 and instead of
diminishing in popularity and influ-
ence, go steadily on, gaining in power
as it were, of their own momentum, for
they are based upon and produced in
the atmosphere of reverence, an eternal
message to all mankind, the saddest and
yet the sweetest story ever told.
Long after the Passion Play" has
come and gone a tender memory will
linger with those who witness it, a
feeling that there are really higher
things in life than the portrayal of the
tinseled, tawdry and worldly characters
that find no place in the modern home
but instead the awe-inspiring Passion
of the Son of Man, that lifts one COM
pletely into new world of thought.
Is it any wonder that this reverent
and divine theme has been handed
down to us from generation to gen.

SANTANDER, Spain, January 49,
After an exciting trip from Paris, the
Prince of Wales and his youngest
brother, Prince George, were en- route
today aboard the liner OropeSa on an
lS,000-mile journey which will culmi-
. nate with their Inauguration of the
British Trade Exhibition in Buenos
Aires in March.
The two princes were many hours
late in reaching Santander, where they
found the Oropesa, hauled up to dock
ready to begin the transatlantic trip.
After stopping at Coruna today, the
vessel will proceed to Hamilton, Ber-
muda, and Kingston, Jamaica. The
royal passengers will touch Central
America and go on down the west
South American coast.
Awakened by DeraiIment.
The princes trouble began late Sat-
urday night when their train was held
up so miles below Bordeaux by the de-
railment of a northbound train from
the Spanish frontier. Awakened by the
halt, both watched the work OF clear
ing the track.
French railroad officials at Bayonne
sent a special train north to pick them
up and carry them to Hendaye.
There, already four hours late, they
transferred to motor cars, beginning a
dangerous ride over sloppy mountain
roads to Santander, watering place OF
the Spanish Kings. AT Bilbao the au--
tomobile occupied by the Prince OF
wales careened into that in which
Prince George was riding, but no one
was hurt.
Awaited by Large Crowd.
It was $50 pm. before the line OF
motor cars drew up before the quay IN
Santander, where large crowd awaited
them. The princes jumped from the We
hicles and, pleading fatigue to neWspa,
per men who asked interviews. hurried
aboard the Oropesa, which left shortly
afterward. There was a brief ofhclal
welcome by Spanish provincial officials,
the Prince of Wales replying to each IN
Spanish.

to England until late in March.
