about Lance Ericsson. ''Fa is a

Peyton said softly, Maybe so
but I'll bet he isn't exactly what
Queen Guinevere had in mind"
why. he's beautiful" the CIR
insisted in a giggling whisper. She
turned her dark head on Larry's
shoulder and suddenly all the
amusement left her face; It became
white and serious. "Oh, Larry

to anyone who might see, she put
both arms about his neck and kept
them there. II love you so much
and I'm so glad you're here. I'm SC

Anette said, You're coming in, OF

After having kicked you out OF

Anette chuckled. "And what

Nothing else. That was all Of It.
There were only two passengers In
the coach. And you say you have
a small part. You don't know what
a small part Is. And you probably

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE


WHO IS HE7" Lance Ericsson
demanded Of Anette.
She looked at the man whose In
trusion had upset Lance's revenge.
looked at his ugly rough-hewn face,
At caulinower ears, at q shining
front tooth OF gold. at shoulders
like those Of a wrestler anc decid-
ed through relief that swept over
her like a cloud OF exquisite, per-
fume, why. he's the most beauti-
full man In the world" Gesturing
toward the actor. she said to the
driver, Lance Ericsson" Revers-
ing the gesture, she said to Erics-
son, "Lancelot jerks"
Shaking with Illustration, the
leading man demanded, What does
he want here ?"
The girls deep red mouth curved
In delighted smile. II invited him.
In fact, he's a very good friend of
mine" She gathered the many folds
Of stiff. Kissing taffeta into her
hands and prepared to descend tn,
steps to her cuhbyhole Of a Dress
ing room. "rll get dressed. Lance
lot"
He nodded without removing his
sourly hostile gaze from Lance
Ericsson. I'm gonna drive Miss
Winslow to her hotel. ! came over
to settle little bet with her and
while I'm settling things I might
as well settle with you"
The actor put his pin-punctured
hand into his pocket settle
WHAT"
That's for you ito say. When /
came In, you acted like you was
looking for trouble and ] just
wanted to say you needn't look no
farther" jerks chewed his gum
with q methodical, sidewise sling
ing Of his jaws and watched the
changing expressions on the face
Of the actor.
Don't you think you're butting
into something that doesn't con-
Germ you?"
Still calmly pleased, jerks as
sured him, Il like to butt in, wheth-
er it's my business or not Espe-
cially when see someone tramp
ing all over poor little girl"
"Tramping on her." Ericsson's
original intention dissolved. He
yanked his hidden injured hand
from his pocket and thrust 1t be-
fore the taxi drivers grotesquely
shaped face. look what that poor
little girl, as you call her, did to
me. What have you to say about
that?"
jerks eyes swept downward, lin
gered a brief moment on pin
scratches and minute bloodclots,
then sailed upward again to meet
those Of the actor with a bull-head-
ed, yet bland defiance. II don't see
nothing the matter with your
hand"
why, you obstinate liar!" yelled
Lance Ericsson I'm going to
have you thrown out of here"
Don't get too big for your
britches" jerks told him. You'd
better go change your clothes-and
II your dressing room is down
by hers, I'm going with you"
After a moment Of Drawing the
taxicab drivers ferocious glare,
Ericsson subsidized. MY room is
over there" He slung his hand over
his right shoulder.
Then get In it-first, Just let me
tell you one more thing. I can't be
here watching you every night, but
you'd better not pull anything
crooked, because you'll have to
come out sometime and when you
do. I'll bust you wide OPEN"

that Larry is here to counterfeit

That was what his visit actually
amounted TO, Anette decided. when
the precious days had slipped by
with a -svage speed and they stood
waiting at the airport for the plane
that would take Larry back to Chi

Let's make this the last one, boys.
What do you say?"
Another hoisted his camera
"Okay. But make It good"
"Yeh," shouted third one. Give
US love scene"
Larry's response was quick. "A
pleasure, gentlemen" He removed
his hat and the bright spring SUM-
light raced over his dark hair.
Anette had a brief instant to ad.

in tailored Stacks and a lightweight
tweed sport coat, before she was
taken into his arms and kissed with
professional skill. for cheering pho

Immediately after, Larry led her
to as secluded spot as 1t was pos
sible to find and really kissed her.
That's goodby, my sweet darling
And If you cry. I'll beat your
brains Quit" He pulled a narrow
velvet box from his pocket and
opened it. Now, will you please
take that alarm clock Off your
wrist ?"
Anette's breath caught In her
throat. "Oh, Larry, how beautiful.
Look how 1t shines. Why, Larry,
it's alive! I'll bet 1t could get right
up from there and walk away"
The man chuckled. well. see
that it doesn't"
But how?" she asked. As he
clasped 1t about her wrist.
"Oh." he told her, deliberately
casual, Il picked out q pretty little
FLY and told her to run fast so

words, he erased her rcproachful

is insistence that rationing difficulties,

to go ahead with rationing programs
months ago when they could have been

Spiritual Issue

One OF the, great affirmations
which has come out of the prevailing
war is that there are no atheists in
foxholes. The meaning of the truth
thus phrased must be plain to an
average person. 1t is an epigram-
matte statement of an obvious fact.
Trouble, suffering, sorrow, any
such ordeal as that which humanity
now is enduring inevitably prompts
the mind and the heart of the in
dividual to seek sanctuary in God
A correlative thought is that the
moral test of any system of human
government may be found in it's tend
ency to draw men to or drive them
away from their Divine Source. It
is the virtue of democracy that it
provides formal recognition of the
integrity of the soul Every human
creature in a free society is guaran-
teed his own personality. Within
reason, he is entitled to be a non
conformist. His association with his
fellows is not coerced. He exists not
by compulsions, but by liberties
which he has no wish to abuse. His
career is adjusted to philosophic
principles, not to expedients and
make shifts.
The complaint of civilized people
against the Fascist theory is largely
an indictment of it's isolation from
the traditional precepts Of religion.
The Axis dogma is divorced from
Christian ethics. When Hitler dared
to liquidate the ancient faith Of the
Hebrew prophets and of Jesus and
His disciples, he defied the future as
we'll as the past. His new order"
could prosper only as it replaced the
Ten Commandments and the Sermon
on the Mount, but he lacked the
spiritual genius to devise substitutes
for those proven axioms of conduct
and behavior. It follows that his
failure will be the fruit of his denial
of the Ruler of the universe. He
flouted logic and law, mathematics
and the elemental science of cause
and effect. Similarly, at the oppo-
site extreme, he Knocked at mercy
and hope, the expectation, the de-
sire and the longing of millions OF
innocent and humble folk.
On the eve of the first anniversary
of Pearl Harbor, America-its multi
tudes of, every race and class and
creed-remembers the history of the
centuries that are gone and conf
IDENTIFY looks forward into still longer
epochs yet to be. The twelve months
that have passed since December 7,
1941, have restored the confidence
of vast numbers of citizens in the
honorable and reverent way of life
to which they are accustomed.
Meanwhile, their conviction concern
ing the unrighteousness and futility
of the Fascist program of tyranny
has been strengthened and REIN
forced by their experience fighting
and toiling against it. They may not
be sure that they have God on their
side. but they devoutly want to be
on His as they know their fathers
were.

RENEWING OUR FAITH
BY the Right JAMES FREEMAN D. d, ILL., D. s. T. D.,
Bishop OF Washington.

Of adolescent life, which are the school
years, are the years in which not only
the mind but the moral and religious
character Of youth is fashioned and
largely fixed. Hence, both the great
ness of the opportunity and the re-
sponsibility of the teacher Purely Sc
cular education, the training of mind
and heart and eye, for the occupatlonal
life, is not sufficient. Unless strong and
lasting convictions form a part OF the
curricula of the school, a generation is
reared unresponsive to strong moral
values.
One OF the strongest characters I
have ever known recalling his life in
great university. told me that the most
impressive moment in the four years
Of his academic training was a walk
across the campus on a windy day. in
company with great professor who, in
brief period. made real to him strong
moral convictions that had been latent
and inactive.
To the true teacher is given a respon-
sibility second only to that Of the par
ent. Obviously, the work OF home and
school must be supplemented by the
work Of the church. 1t is here that the
place of religion in life, the place of a
strong, stimulating faith finds it's large
expression. Here the supreme example
of Jesus Christ, what Thomas Hughes
called the "manliness of Jesus" must be
presented In all its appeal and winsome-
ness. The home, the school and the
church have never had a greater re-
sponsibillty. nor greater opportunity
than they enjoy today. The America
of the present and of the future will
stand or fall by what they do. Well do
: the teachers adopt as their objective,
THE Renewal of Faith" 1t is an OBJ
jective that all America should adopt.

cation Association, which is the official

children and their children's children
the personal rights, political liberties
and representative institutions which
untold generations Of men have sacri-
feed to achieve and maintain This is
the master struggle. Without victory,
all is darkness. He who contributes to
that victory, though he live but an hour,
has left an influence which shall never
die"
The National Education Association
has as its watchword this year. Re
newing our Faith There is probably
not an organization in America more
potential, or that has to do more largely
with the conservation Of American ideals
than this body When it is realized
that upwards of thirty million children
and young people are In the schools
and colleges Of America. 1t must be
realized how great is the influence that
teachers exert
1t has long been held that the basic
institutions of America are the home, the
school and the church Theodore Roose-
welt maintained that the advance agents
of civilization were the church and the
school. At no period in our history have
they meant more than they mean today.
They transcend in their potential
strength all other agencies and bodies
social, economic and political. OBJ
viously the early formation of character
is committed to the home. Here the
groundwork is laid Here the strong in
fuences of parenthood find their larg-
est field of operation. Where the home
fails grave handicap is placed upon
the school and the church. The years
