The Rev. Mr.. Fisher led a group
of 10 young Wilmingtonians, part
of the 8il young peol:e 70 re-
gistered for the weeks school.
He said:
1T is impossible to ascertain the
inestimable value of the school;
however, some of the impressions
and expressions of the youth were:
that they received a better under
standing of the social and religious
problems of their day; the kind
of worship that appeals to them
most is in a church edifice that has
the external and internal appear
ance of a house of God, wherein
they not only receive spiritual food
and an understanding of their in
dividual problems, but also a serv.
ice from beginning to end through
which they a feel the presence
of the spirit of God; and the one
thing that would accelerate {
progress of Christianity today more
than anything else and would make
this age a civilization of unlimited
progress would be the actual living

She smiled wanly. T don't know, Bobby"
 Fate seemed to be closing in on her. Even the children associated her with Tommy. She saw her father growing less antagonistic toward the trucker. With Tommy his anger was on the surface, With Dan, 1t was far deeper. What had caused this?
 "A fellow in a rented Tux was lookin' for you Marie," Bobby chanted.
 Marie looked questioningly at him. What do you mean?"
 "He was here this afternoon. A guy took his picture, too"
 "Stop your nonsense" she said, and climbed the steps to the barge. Mrs. La Porte stuck her head out at the sound of footsteps Marie, what are you doing home at this hour?"
 "Oh, Mammal" Marie broke into tears. T am so unhappy, I don't know what to do. No one can help me"
 Mrs. La Porte lowered over Marie as if she were 8 baby again She brought cold water for her eyes. She put tender arms around her shoulders and talked sooth- ingly.
 "Say nothing now" she begged Wait until you feel better. It is this barge. Your father must move ashore. You are too grown to stay here any longer"
 She cast vindictive glance around the neat cabin. "It is the one thing your father and I have disagreed on. When you grew UT I wanted you to have a chance like other girls"
 "Oh, Mamma" walled Marie Tt isn't the barge. It's life, ano there is nothing I can do about it. And I've lost my job!"
 What's life?" Bats big voice boomed. But he forgot his ques- tion when he saw Marie's tears My baby, you're crying, and I've been planning such a nice thing for you. Don't worry about that job."
 He held up the society page oi the evening paper. You're going to have a party just like that. He pointed to 8 story in the first column.
 Mrs. La Porte gulped. Have you lost your mind? We cant have 1t here on the barge"
 No. But if theese Miss Lynda Martin can have 8 coming-out party, my daughter can."
 He laid a finger on Lynda's picture. Hers is Saturday night Yours shall be also. I have 1t all arranged"
 The leak of the barge had evil Idently been completely swept out of his mind by this new idea.
 Where's the party going to be?" inquired Marie.
 "Kelly's dance hall"

of habit prompted her to 90 home. She tried, vainly, to keep back her tears. A sympathetic woman, im- agining that only a death could cause Marie,s grief, moved aside to let the girl into a corner seat.
 T know, I've lost dear ones, too" the woman said. 'The first shock is the hardest"
 Marie wiped her eyes. Dan might as well be dead. She would never see him again. She recalled her last glimpse of him, standing alone and bewildered in the salon. After Varnet had screamed at her that she was fired, Marie had put on her street clothes, prepared to go. Be- fore she left, she took one last look at the salon. It was then that she had seen Dan, trying to understand why she refused to see him.
 Memories of yesterday, on the barge at Poughkeepsie, were still with her. The kindness of her father and mother. It was as if she had been child again. She could not cause them, especially her father, more trouble. Bat did not like Dan and Marie doubted if she could ever win her fathers approval.
 Marie took of her hat and rested her head against the car window. The enxiety of the last few days had left its mark. Trou- ble had washed the color from her cheeks, deepened the shadows un- der her eyes. But she remained, in spite of all this, an extraor- dinarily lovely girl.
 People in the car stared sym pathetically, at her slender, blue clad figure, her heart-shaped face and dark curls. Marie did not notice them. She was trying tc figure what had prompted her at- tempt to flood the Molly. Ano yet, she decdied, as she left the subway, if she had it to do all over again she would probably dc the same thing.
 An east wind whipped her skirt around her legs as she walked along, still thinking of yesterday Frankly miserable the moment sht opened the valve, she had watched her father try vainly to stop tht flow of water into the barge. Why did the valve have to break al that moment? It had worked easily when she opened 1t. Sht could see Bat, cursing as he strug- gled to close it.
 Then he had rushed below grabbing packing as he went. But the damage had been done. Int Molly was half filled, wallowine along. The valve was jammet open and the barge would hav' to be pumped out before the valv, could be repaired.
 Bat had hailed the captain ot the tug and slowly the little flee had turned, headed back to New York. This is what Marie hsf hoped would happen and yet when it actually became a fact her conscience rebelled.
 A flush of shame colored he1 cheeks now. She had not beer brought up on a barge for noth. ing. She knew what it meant fol her father to give up = to fail tt deliver his cargo But stronger than her regret had been her mac desire to see Dan, to forget every thing, and to try to make him forget Lynda Martin.
 Now, none of that mattered. She had burned her bridges.
 
 Hello, Marie. Where's Tommy A barge kid hailed her as she cross ed the pier.

CHAPTER XVIII

People stared at Marie as she walked through the streets. She had left Varnet's in tears, not so much because she had lost her job but be- cause she had hurt Dan. She was caught in web she saw no way of breaking.
 But she would not have minded SO much, she told herself, had she been the only one to be hurt. But the droop of Dams shoulders, as he stood in Varnet's, told her he was suffering, too. This was almost more than she could bear.
 Blindly she walked down the West Side subway steps and boarded southbound train. Force
