he could do. And later that
night he dragged the story from
her.
She had been working as a
secretary, it seems. in Chicago.
Her mother lived in New York
and she was going home to her
now. But what was she going
to say to her? She had lost
her job!
Martins heart was touched,
No More Worry
"As soon as we reach New
York." he asserted, "you will
call me at my office. I will ar
range an appointment at my
house for dinner and I will
have my fiancee there. We will
figure out something for you to
do. You have no further cause
to worry"
The girl clasped his hand.
You're a gentleman" she
said. "A real gentleman"
The din n er was arranged.
Martin explained everything to
his fiancee. She met the girl
just before dinner-and she
didn't seem to like her. She
told Martin as much-but he
merely patted her hand.
During the dinner. wine was
served. The poor child seemed
to forget herself. AS Martin
and his fiancee looked on in
amazement the girl poured glass
after glass into herself. When
the dinner was over she wasn't
drunk. No, sir. She was abso-
lutely cockeyed.
So steWed did she become, in
fact, that she passed quietly out
of the picture. Martins fiancee
became very naughty. She
grabbed her hat, threw a dis
gusted look at the girl and
bounced out'of the place. Such
a thing!
Something New
Martin was at an absolute
loss. Never having been a
Broadway columnist, this was
something new for him. The
butler entered and suggested
that they had better get a
doctor.
Martin agreed. He went out
for a physician. And when he
returned, the girl was gone.
Martin breathed a heavy sigh
of relief.
But the relief was short
lived. The following morning
found the girl and her mother
at Martins apartment. And
what that alleged mother
didn't say to our hero is very
little to speak of. To make
long story short, she accused
Martin Of every crime on the
calendar.
1t was, of course. the old
badger game. But Martin
didn't know that. The thing
frightened him so that he
paid on the spot. And, whether
you believe it or not, he paid
$4,000. =.
Martin met his fiancee that
night. He was in a terrible
humor: the worst of his life.
He was sore at himself and
the world. And he told his
fiancee the entire story.
Whereupon, she did the

Welcome Relief

Finally, about year ago, he
met a girl who didn't mind be-
ing treated like a lady. She
had been paved by so many
gentlemen in society that Mar
tin was a welcome relief to
her. So she went out with him
four or five times. Which was
more than Martin ever expected
from one girl.
Her friends kidded her about
the situation.
Don't see how you can stand
him around" they told her.
Hes such perfect gentleman
that he gets on your nerves.
Don't you ever long to have
him take a wallop at you? 1t
would do so much to relieve
the monotony."
The girl shook her head.
II like Martini" was her re-
sponse. II like him because he's
on the level and a real man. I
like him very much"
When a girl makes up her
mind on a thing like that the
consequences are inevitable. Be-
fore Martin knew what had hap
pened to him he and the girl
were engaged to be married. :.
Two weeks ago Martin left for
Chicago on some business. His
fiancee was down to see him off.
And as she kissed him good-by
she gave him a few words of
cheer.
His Last Chance
IF you want to step out
while you're away, Martini" she
smiled, "go ahead and do it.
You'll be an old married man
pretty soon, you know. This is
just about your last chance to
get wild"
Martin shook his head SOL
emnly.
Dearest" he said, IT want
you to know that I never for
get my place. I love you and
you alone. And a gentleman
doesn't trample on love-"
Whereupon he kissed his
bride-to-be and entered his
drawing room. What a man! . .
Some five days ago, his
business completed, Martin was
on his way back to New York.
In the diner he sat at a small
table with a rather pretty girl.
He looked at her and he saw a
suggestion of tears in her eyes.
She was dining with tears in
her eyes.

by the unquestioned records of his

was baptized, and within its chancel he
Is buried. He died when only 50 years
of age, but had he been given his three
score and ten. who can say what pro-
found play he might have written of
q deeply religious character?"
Mr.. Beck noted that Shakespeare's
mighty verse contains many references
to biblical events and scriptur.l truths.
Throughout his plays there is the finest
recognition OF all that Is noble and
great in human nature and q corre-
spending dislike of all that Is base and
trivial, so that one Of his critics. Coler-
idge, could say with truth that Shake
speare was q writer, Of all others. the
most calculated to make his readers
better as well as WISER

But Shakespeare was not consciously
a moral preacher Mr.. Beck insisted
that Primarily, he wrote for the the
ater, and nothing was further from his
purpose than to usurp the function OF
the church Yet those who will search
diligently his masterful writings will
find that, independent of both plot and
character. there Is lofty moral pur.
pose in Shakespeare and devout BELIEF
in an over-ruling Providence.
Mr.. Beck compared the Book OF JOB
and Hamlet quoting illustrations from
both. He also discussed Shakespeare
conception Of immortality. He con-
cluded: "Shakespeares mighty soul, the
most comprehensive ever given to any
of the children of men, saw life as q
whole, in all its good and In all Its evil,
but the great fact remains that next to
the Bible itself, no writer OF our mother
tongue has ever so profoundly quick
ened the imagination and developed the
souls of men as William Shakespeare. "
