She Strengthened up slowly before the roses
Her eyes regretful that her hands must leave
the cool-textured petal untouched.
You're very SUBTLE she murmured.
'Mr. Richmond" Uncle Val went on adj
dressing Ned, ''Mr. Stephen Richmond is an
old and close friend of your aunt's. You must
be especially cordial to him, for you repre-
sent me here, you see. 1t will be test for you.
You must be attentive and - You under
stand what attentive means?" He smiled,
expectant
Yes sir, said Ned.
What does it mean?"
We'll - sort of watching, and noticing,
and - and being able to remember after
wards"
Ned's heart wriggled upward to new hope
as he saw approval rise in his uncle's gaze.
School - School perhaps, after all.
We'll, sir - well!' said Uncle Val. Watch
ing, noticing, and remembering Eth, Con-
stance? What you think of that"
Quickly Ned felt round him things he
didn't know about: there was nothing in what
upon Aunt Constance; and nothing to put
that look in her lovely eyes "a level, re-
gretful suferance of whatever he might do.
Must the boy be mixed up in this, too"
MY DEAR" said Uncle Val in all patience,
you don't understand. Ned has his heart set
on Tavistock School. My brother, regret to
say, left his widow without the means to send
him. I've been appealed to. But cannot let
my natural generosity run away with sense
of duty, can |? To the boy, and to the school.

And so l might" said Uncle Val with a
gratified chuck)e. so l might. That's what
we're here to see. Want to 60, don't you?"
"Oh, gosh yesr' Ned said promptly ap-
palled at his own spontaneity. "Yes, sir, l
want to very much
Quietly, his shining eyes anticipating an
amusing answer, Uncle Val said Why
A merciful presence in the doorway made
Uncle Val release Ned look Ned took hesi
tant breath and turned
There you are, my love- Uncle Val said
comfortably Here is our young nephew,
Ned Bonsul. son of my brother Ned who had
the misfortune to die without knowing what a
sister-in-law I'd fetch him. Ned, this is your
beautiful Aunt Constance. You'll like her.
Men do
And she was beautiful She was slenderly,
beautifully made beneath the simple cinging
of white satin. Her bare shoulders were firm
and erect. and you knew that her golden head
must always be up like that to face anything
with the family sad candor of her blue eyes.
Her slight smile brought two slim lines in her
fresh cheeks - made you know her free smile
must be wonderful.
Her hand was cool and firm for an instant
in Neds, and there was drift of gentle, TN
attainable fragrance before she turned away.
Ned watched her bend to bowl Of yellow
roses on near table, her solicitous hands up
to them but not touching them, as if she
weren't sure of her right to touch.
Il thought you were going out to dinner"
she said to Uncle Val.
Il am," he said. Why"
There are three places set at the table

Val, gratifled. Now Ned this is not diff
cult thing. You must put MIR. Richmond at
his ease by being glad to see him, attending
his wants, engaging him in conversation, and
not putting him to the - ah - embanass-
ment of leaving him alone with your aunt
whose sense of the proprieties is keen, not to
say excessive And when come home, shall
want to know whether everything went well,
whether Mr.. Richmond seemed to enjoy him
self, whether he seemed to tire your aunt, and
any little items you may have noticed - odd
things, things you didn't quite understand.
That's simple enough, isn't it,"
''Yes, SIR said Ned. He didn't think it
was simple, he didn't understand it; and he
was very uncomfortable in spite of all the wise
approval that shone in his unCle's eyes. He
glanced at Aunt Constance but she stood
looking into one of the magazines on the long
table, removed, as if she, too, were stranger
waiting in this room.
And now must CO." said Uncle Val,
glancng at his watch Let's hope Ned, that
you prove the sort of lad whom Tavistock -
and your old uncle - likes" His hand came
the back of his neck, thumb and fingers feel
ing at the sides lit, under the ears Just when
Ned felt he couldn't keep from launching his
shoulders, the hand was snatched away; and
without speaking again or looking round,
Uncle Val walked from the room.
Stephen Richmond had spare, alert face
under crisp. sandy hair, and the shade of
worry round his quick eyes didn't disguise
that their habit was one of winning zest in
many things His carriage and his step were
sure and able; and he came to Aunt Constance
as if he had had to wait too long for this
special moment. He said, Connie - dear,
how are you?" and the crisp diCtion had a
direct, reassuring pleasure that made Ned
want to talk like that Aunt Constance said,
Stephen" gently with sadness and happl-
ness, both, in her eyes, and you didn't know
which made them more beautiful.
Stephen Richmond measured Ned with a
gravely expectant look, gripped his hand so
that Ned grpped hard in return and stirred to
the promise of a special relationship. Then,
after an extra instant's recognition, he turned
back to Aunt Constance.
Am so early?" he said
NO." she said. Very prompt"

.elU Elements
Stir Interest
Of Science

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. IS
U.N.S0.-Scientists today eagerly
awaited the details of a 24-year-old
instructors announcement he had
confirmed the discovery Of two
new elements.
Philip Abelson, of the University
of California physics department,
said he had produced elements 90
and "a in the atomic-weight scale,
corroborating previous expert
mentS made by the Italian scien-
tist, Fermi, in Rome.
The feat was made possible by
the university's big demonstrating
machine. BY bombarding ura-
mum, which is element No. 90,
with netrons, or nucleur portions
of an atom, element No. SO was
formed. It was erratic and un-
stable and soon lost one of its elec-
irons, becoming element No. "a.
Cautiously, Abelson admitted 1t
was possible but not proved" that
other forms of matter had been
produced in the process and he
laughed in non-committat manner
when asked:
els it now sane to think that
perhaps substances such as lead
can be transmitted to gold?"
Two hundred Western scientists
who meet tomorrow at Stanford
University hoped to hear a com.
plete report of the achievement.

Pettengin Sees
Dictator Peril

The questions confronting the
nation today are more important
than those that brought on the
Civil War, Representative Samuel
B. Pettengill, Of Indiana, told the
District Of Columbia Society, Sons
Of the American Revolution, at a
meeting in the Mayflower Hotel
yesterday.
He said that in 1861 the ques-
tion was whether the physical
union of the States would be dis
solved, but now the challenge is
whether the character and form
of the Government shall be
changed from a constitutional
democracy into a totalitarian
state. under a Fascist or Com
nuniSt dictatorship.

The shipping magnate, said the
prosecutor in his summing up,
maintained secret bank accounts
abroad and kept false books. Bern.
stein denied all charges.
It was evident from the prose
cutor's line of argument that the

Bernstein lines, which are heavily
in debt to American interests.

Radiant Living
THE BLIssFUL SUMMIT OF
MT. PISGAH
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
! Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

The top of Mt. Hermon, upon
which it is said the TRANSPORTATION
of Jesus took place is a region of
splintered crags, deep SHOWS, and
bowling gales. But the height
which one reaches in that kind of
praying that transforms ones will
into perfect harmony with the
will of God may be likened to a
height bathed in the sunny atmos-
phere of perpetual balmy spring
time.
If you would like to symbolic
this joyous experience which you
feel when you have attained that
place of full surrender and conse-
Grafton, in which you have unre-
servedly accepted Gods will and
plan for your own life, you might
think of a rounded summit of a
mountain height. Here upon this
summit you may picture beauti-
full mansion, the mansion of Divine
fellowship. On all sides, as they
gently fall away, are laid out
lawns and gardens, vineyard and
orchards, watered by crystal
springs and spraying fountains, in
terspersed by charming COVER
lined walks and arbors, made mel
odious by songbirds.
This height may well be called
Mt. Pisgah, a Hebrew term, mean
ing purity" Upon such sum-
NIT there reigns an eternal peace,
symbolical of that peace which
ensues when the human will cease
to struggle against the will of God.
AS a certain writer has truly
said: "The highest state in religion
is a destruction of the selfish will. .
1t is. on such a height of spir-
itual development that there come
those rare moments when God
speaks directly to the soul, NOM
ents in which the soul hears the
divine Voice saying: Thou art my
beloved son, the son of my adop-
ton"
And it is here, as though in an
antiphonal response, the soul, in
ecstacy, replies: And Thou, Q
God, art my Father"

CHEVROLET SAFETY BRAKES
Is an Outstanding Improvement in
the New 1887 Models

In the new 1887 Chevrolet, be
sides its Turret Top, powerful
engine, the public is given a
new and perfected hydraulic
braking system that is one OF
the safest and surest that it is
possible to build. There are more
than 100 reasons why the Chevro-
let brake is all but fool-proof, and
these are the careful and meticul-
Gus inspections of every part that
goes into the brake along with the
checks that are made during as
sembly of the various brake parts.
A recent checkup of operations re
vealed that there are more than
four-score of parts that go into the
Chevrolet brake. Each is inspect
ed during machining operations
and at various specified intervals
along the brake assembly line.
Specifications must ge met to the
thousandth of one inch. Balance
must be perfect, hardness and
strength must conform to stand
ards. Each part must fit the 9TH
ers precisely. The checkup show
ed that there are over 100 manu-
featuring operations in the fabri-
cation of the completed brake.
Each of these includes an inspec-
tion by the worker on each partic-
ular job. In addition, special in
spectors check up at specified in
tervals. Exposed parts are given
a bath in a special antitrust solu-
ton to insure against deterioration
and to guarod against any possible
impairment of the brakes func-
tioning.
