BRIGHT By Mary Schumann Copyright by Macrae Smith Co. WNU Service SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twent ar rives home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezias sis ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the steel plant founded by one of his fore bears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be cause of Dorrie’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char acter she fears Kezia has inherited. Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu vanna’s and a favorite of Hugh’s. She hap pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not ap prove the match. Hugh and Dorrie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work, announces that he has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance to gether and then disappear for a while. Danc ing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband, Cun. When Ellen and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat ter is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him he finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick ly hangs up without saying good-by. After hesitating about Hugh’s invitation, she finally agrees to accompany him. They spend a de lightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kezia encounters Jerry. Ellen is dis turbed when Jerry is absorbed by Kezia. Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry. CHAPTER V—Continued Never a Full House The House of Representatives of “Of course, dear.

Several times he had been forced to borrow from her father to meet various demands, but was never able to repay the loans. After the death of her mother and his losses in the stock market, Jim’s habit of drinking increased. He did not use soft words when he drank. Some inner demon spoke in cruel, vindictive phrases. When she saw him after one of those nights when he had come in with stumbling, uncertain steps, his handsome face puffy, his hand trembling so he could scarcely hold the coffee cup, she was amazed at the conflict of love and hate which struggled in her. He reminded her of bleary old Tom Gaveney who took away the rubbish . . . But it was really Jim, her husband, to whom she was bound for life. Their three children, Margery, Hugh and Kezia were at school and might come home any time. No one must know—no one at all. Draw the blinds. Send the maid to the laundry. Telephone the office that he wasn’t well. Head up; smile at friends and strangers. The banner of pride must float bravely while the craft is sinking. And then that day. The freshly ironed shirts and children’s garments lay on the bed. Put this pile in Hugh's room; sew the lace on Margery’s dress; socks of varying sizes, colors must be sorted, mended; a stitch Gere, a button there . . . She had never been able to put away freshly - laundered clothes since without a leaden feeling, for suddenly she looked up and saw Jim. He was standing by the chiffon ier, one elbow on it, watching her. “Jim? You home? Have, you had your lunch?” He did not answer at once. His gaze was somber but not unkind. He sat down in a chair and mo tioned for her to take one. A foreboding gripped her. She watched his hands, lean, restless, clutching the arm of the chair un til they were white at the knuck les. An odd ring on his little finger —a ring which he had inherited from his father—was raised into prominence. “I’m in a bad way, Fluvanna.” “Sick?” He shook his head. Her glance hardened. “Money again? I—Jim, you know---- ” “Yes, I know what you’re going to say. You’ve done a lot. Helped me out a dozen times. But this time—this time”—he struck the arm of the chair with his fist— “you must! Must, I say!” She rose without a word, went over to the bed, gathered up some of the garments and put them in a drawer. She wouldn’t . . . she wouldn’t. Draining away every thing she had. She had been too easy. She had to think of her children, their education, future----- “I must have $15,000.” "Fifteen thousand dollars!” The sum startled her. For what? . . . “I haven’t it. You know I haven’t.” His eyes swept the room, came back to her. “Sell something Put a mortgage on the house.” “I won’t. Nothing can make me.” “Won’t, eh?” His lips curled in a hateful smile. “You’d rather see your husband go to the peniten tiary, I suppose.” The penitentiary? His words re- sounded like the echo of waves, and the blood seemed to slip quietly away from her body, leaving only flesh and nerves. The penitentiary! “I don’t believe you,” she said faintly. He did not reply. Then scarcely knowing what she was doing, she went into the adjoining room where Kezia slept. Kezia had left a leg less doll on the floor. Mechanically she picked it up and put it into the closet. Then Jim was in the doorway. He was holding a revolver idly in his hand. Horror froze in her. Was he going to kill himself—before her? . , . But he pointed it at her. “Jim, you wouldn’t. Don't—try to be funny,” she gasped. "I must have it before four o’clock.” She smelled the odor of whiskey. “Stop waving that revolver around! You know it’s loaded.” “So it is.” She backed away from him, out into the hall. She wanted to call him a coward and a bully, but she was too terrified. There was some thing brooding and insane in his look. “You say you won't?” "I can't. How can you threaten me this way? What if the children should see you?” “You could borrow it on your steel stock.” ao BE CONTINU ED) For Dress and Utility UNDAY I S cHooL Lesson 1268 By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST.

PRIMARY TOPIC— Twin Brothers. JUNIOR TOPIC—Twin Brothers Trading. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Winning by Self-Control. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Conquering Appetite and Greed. One of the difficult and at the same time challenging things about teaching the Word of God is that its divine precepts are diametrically opposed to the current philosophy of men. In our lesson of last week we saw that meekness and for bearance are strong and commend able qualities in a world which mag- nifies brute force. Today we are to study a portion of Scripture which shows the folly of living for the flesh, and we are living in a world where the flesh and its appe- tities are given full sway. Professors in many colleges are openly advocating the free exercise of every fleshly appetite as a nor mal expression of life. Morality is cast off; the flesh rules. Many of the nations of the earth look upon boys and girls as merely so many physical units useful in a future war. Motherhood has been degrad ed into an animal-like function, sole ly for the breeding of more man power. One nation recently advo- cated as great an increase as pos sible in the birth of illegitimate children to be cared for by the state as a measure of national se curity. One shudders to mention such unspeakable wickedness, but even so we have only touched the surface. Is it true that man is but a beast? Is there no spirit in man capable of fellowship with God? Has the moral law of God been abrogated? The story of Esau and Jacob is most pointed and instructive in its an swer to such questions. Two New Testament quotations have been chosen to express the truth of an Old Testament lesson; namely, Galatians 5:17, and 6:7. I. “The Flesh Lusteth Against the Spirit” (Gen. 25:27-34). Esau is a type of the man of the flesh. He was “a cunning hunt er, a man of the field.” Evidently he was an athletic, outdoor man of attractive’ personality, of free and easy-going spirit. He was a hail- fellow-well-met. Had he lived in our day he would have been featured in the rotogravure, would probably have been in the movies, would pos sibly have been a great athlete, and the good-looking boy who set hearts a-flutter at the country club dance. He came from the hunt, and he had found nothing. He was hungry. What a type this is of the folly of seeking satisfaction in the world. It never satisfies. For all its glitter and glamour, it is empty and shal low. He had a birthright—a val uable possession in any care, but doubly so as a son of Abraham. But he was hungry, he would simply die if he did not eat. His brother Jacob, inspired by his scheming mother who was not willing to abide God’s time for the fulfillment of his promise, had the savory pottage ready to tempt him and he sold his birthright for a “gulp of that red stuff,” for so might v. 30 be trans lated. One is reminded of a clergyman who attended the Keswick Confer ence in England. He sent a request for prayer to the platform and asked this question: “I have a habit which is dishonoring to Christ. If I give it up I will die. What shall I do?” The wise and complete an swer was one word—“Die.” Rather should we lose our body and its de sires than to lose our soul. II. “Whatsoever a Man Soweth That Shall He Also Reap” (Gen. 27:41-45). Jacob and his mother found that one lie called for another, and ul timately their deceit led (as deceit always does) to the place of reck oning. The law of sowing and reap ing is inexorable. Jacob fled from his angry brother. Rebekah thought it would be for “a few days” (v. 44), but it proved to be twenty years, and she never saw her favorite son again. Let us make no mistante about it. Our sins will always find us out. Even God’s people must learn to walk uprightly before Him if they are to walk in peace. ‘JHY Mollie R” are • • you going out again?

Imitate Sis; put your apron on and have the dusting done when I get back from the Civic Improvement League meet ing. And speaking of aprons, that is the cleverest one Sis ever had.
