MARSHA'S CALL
THE third week of the honey
moon was changed In pattern
by a necessary trip to tows. Bob
had run In before to see hli mother,
bat his visits bad been short, and
he had broken all speed laws In
transit In order to "get there and
back."
Now Bob had to see one of the
heads of bis company about "an
other bridge," bis mother's birth
day must be celebrated by them to
gether and Marsha wanted to go to
talk to Doctor James a want she
did not confldx to Bob,
"Hang It," he said on the night
before their early morning start, "I
hate leaving here. It's been so per
fect. I have an odd Idea that It won't
be here when we get back. I
wouldn't be surprised to come back
and find, where this bouse stood, an
empty space, ntl you a dream. But
I couldn't survive It! Couldn't! And,
my dear, please, remember that!"
She glanced around the room
where she, who bad not thought
herself to be domestic, bad begun
her housekeeping to find she loved
It . . , planning meals, arranging
flowers, ordering things.
At tho aturt sbo bad said and tlm
idly, "I think that little table would
be nrettier by the window," and
Bob answered with an easy-going,
casual, "And why not?" And they
lad changed It.
It was strange bow It had made
her feel; she had suddenly known
It was her house too, and tbat Bob
saw It so, wanted It so. She bad
eald. "I never could change any
thing at Aunt Gertrude's and of
course I had no right to, but this Is
Interesting; I do like It the real
ization that I can move a chair!"
"We'll tear down the place, If yon
want to," he promised. It made him
"lighting mad" to tblnk of Miss Ger
trude's "sitting on any little thing
Warshs wanted to do," wbo was
still so wholly tho child when en
thusiastic, and charmingly, appeal
ing so.
She had not understood his rise
of tenderness tbat had seemed to
grow from their moving the little
table. She had only begun to know
that happiness hurts those unused
to It.
She did not sleep easily nor long
at any one time, that night before
their start for the two-days' visit in
town; Bob's pretonded fear about
the house and Us fading, and her
slipping away, had troubled her.
Something could happen any time,
she reasoned, to so change the
house for them tbat the ground
might as well be barren.
She would tell Doctor James all
about It; of bow she had come to
marry Bob Powora and of what had
happened to her, married to him.
And of how Ineptly and weakly dis
solute she bad been, before Bob.
And she would ask Doctor James
whother she could make up for
cheating Dob by the utmost of sin
cerity. She gave him nothing but
tbat now; she could give him noth
ing less.
A STRIP of cold winter moonlight
lay across a braided rug; sit
ting up she was so restless she
saw It and In that gray, half-light,
that Bob slept, she thought soundly.
An Impulse thnt had never before
swept hor, made hor slip from the
bed and to hor knees; and here,
bead hurled In hor arms, she asked
of a something or some one whom
clrcumstnnce had made remote tor
her, the boon of being always with
Boh.
When she lifted her head she saw
Boh raised by sn elbow.
"I hope you don't mind, dearest?"
he whispered.
"No " she murmured.
He took her hands In his to kiss
them llngerlngly,
"I've always hollered In trying
anything once!" she explained.
She, somehow, had to get back to
"a sort of ease." hut It was difficult
to do so with nob. more serious
than Doctor James In his chancel
and equally, seemingly even more,
hushed and devout.
"Some day," he said, "will you
toll me what you asked?"
"I hope I shall he able to, some
day," she answered. She shivered
then. Ho laid ft hand on her bare

shoulder to and It chill, but It ws.
not the winter night's cold that bad
made her tremble, but the realiza
tion that she might not ever have
a chance to tell blm tbat she bad
asked to stay with him alwaysl
He was scolding her a little, In
bis dear, gentle, but rather amus
ingly firm way, about "running
risks."
He left bed to get a water bottle
for her; a very hot one with a shag
gy towel wrapped around It, She
lay laashlcg it him, but tears rcre
on her lashes.
"There!" he said triumphantly as
he tucked It against her. And, sit
ting up, he smoked the clgaret tbat
now he always sought with waking.
"Did I crash in horribly by wak
ing?" he asked abruptly,
"No," she answered.
"One of my best waking night
mares Is made by thinking of doing
something you won't like," he con
fided. "I can have that sort of day
dream, or nightmare, myself!" she
answered blm.
"You I" He laughed after the
"You!"
"Don't yon tblnk I could do any
thing you disliked?" she Ques
tioned. If he would say, "Yes, and
I'll forgive you! I love you enough
to forgive anything!" But be did
not; he staid, and slowly, "Possibly,
and the world coud end too, I sup
pose; and It would for me, dearest
one, If things weren't right between
us." And then he had to kiss her
hands!
MARSHA saw her aunt the next
day In town; Miss Gertrude
was even more acid than usual. She
had not expected Marsha to make
this sort of marriage.
Her friends all said, "How de
lighted you must be!" Some of the
more astute of them sometimes
looked a trifle doubtlngly and prob
Ingly at her; as If she hod manufac
tured the tales about Marsha! And
she had done "everything every
thing" she could to "bring the child
to a realization of her depravity!"
"You say you are enjoying East
hampton." boomed out Miss Ger
trude. "It Is, I have heard many
folk say apropos your sojourn, an
odd place for a a "
"Honeymoon." Marsha supplied
boldly. "We like It," she went on,
and In her new, gentle, way, "and
It's near mother. I don't want to
shorten her time with Bob. We're
coming In to stay with her soon.
You see I don't want her cheated."
"The new role Is very pleasing,
Marsha," said Miss Gertrude. "I can
only say that I trust It may en
dure!" Marsha departed a little bruised
and a little downcast, but faintly
amused. Hor aunt so conslstenly ex
pected the worst; anything less
than the worst actually disappoint
ed her. Perhaps, Marsha decided,
she bad not had quite a fair chance.
Yea, the maid answered as she
stepped Into the hsll of Saint Tim
othy's Rectory. Doctor James was
In and expecting Mrs. Powers. And
he asked that Mrs. Powers come up
to his study; the door to It was the
one at the head of the stair.
The maid sought rear-rectory
quarters' haunted by Mrs. Powers, a
beautiful young lady who looked
that frightened" and whose lips
trembled, but who did not forget to
smile and to thank one who served,
even though humbly. '
Doctor James rose as Marsha
tapped on his door. "Come In!" he
boomed. He marked his mystery
story with a Lenten-purple book
marker that had been made for htm
by one of the Infant School.
'Bofore you begin on It." he sug
gested, with a pat of hor hands,
"suppose you smoke a clgaret. They
soothe."
She laughed. He waved her to a
chair. She settled and be tried a
clgaret lighter that would not light
and then, muttering a little, he held
a flaring match to the clgaret which
trembled with her hnnd.
'Not so bad as that, child!" he
said. "When you get to my age you
realize that nothing Is so bsd as yon
thought and that everything Is bet
ter than yon ever dreamed, young-.
It could he. I am not. I hope, of the
Pollyana school, bnt If one's diges
tion Is good, life does grow easier
and easier and more alluring. Now
what's the matter, dear child?"
He settled on the edge ol a deep
chair that faced hers.
"Everything " she answered.
She told her story.

There was also an extended review
and discussion of the work and edu
cational problems of these a ays in the
Sunday schools of the Presbyterian
church and in the class rooms of the
50 and more colleges scattered over
the United States, directly connected
with the Presbyterian church. U. S. A
Of these, there are three on the Pa
cific coast Albany college at Albany,
Ore., Occidental college at Los An
geles, and Whltworth college at Spo
kane. Wash.
The afternoon session today brought
the meeting of Synod to a close, and
Included a closing conference led by
Dr. Wm. F. Klein, secretary for evan
gelism, with headquarters In New
Yore city. Dr. Klein nas spoxen dauy
and oftener during the five days of
this meeting of the Synod, and will
go from here to the meeting of the
Synod of California next week. His
sddie&aes here were remarkably In
teresting and helpful and one of the
best features of the week.
"Evangelism," as It Is being empha
sized in the Presbyterian church, does
not mean simply or principally the
holding of special revival meetings,
and such work. It does Include that
when conducted in spiritual, sane and
helpful ways; but it also Includes all
of personal, home, church, school and
college life which helps to make the
Lord Jesus Christ known, and helps
to win people to a personal faith in
Him as the Son of God and the Sav
ior for the world and of all who re
ceive and believe upon Him as their
own Savior and Lord, and follow Htm
In life.
