NEW JOB
pHE morning after Jex Moore and
hia wife dined with him, Mark
lbery discovered tbat young Mrs.
Moore bad come back to work, and
lent a message to ask her to come to
bis office.
"1 said yon were to stay away un
til you were settled." he told her In
the smooth, autocratic voice that
went with bl. Oriental type.
"1 am quite settled, tbank yon, Mr.
ilbery. it was easily done yesterday
Everything In the flat Is ao con
renlent and so beautiful. You have
been so very kind to us."
"Not at all. I wanted your hus
band near by. He and 1 have some
rery important plans to make. And
the aat was empty. I took It for my
young cousin when he came into the
business, but he has gone over to
the United States for six months.
"Yon were determined to come
back to work?" he asked. "Your hus
band was not sure about It."
"Ob, yes, Mr. Albery! I couldn't
give up my work." As Laurie spoke,
she became at once her animated, In
terested business self.
"I em glad of It. 1 think you are
wise, too. After all, Moore will be
away a good deal. That's Inevitable
In bis Job. And I'm happy to And he's
as keen as ever. Mrs. Moore, 1 have
a proposal to .nake to you. It you
agree, it will work in very well.
"Miss Dixie came back too soon,
I'm afraid. Her Illness has left ber
hearing Impaired. 1 sent ber to a spe
cialist, and be has ordered a cure
and a complete rest. It will take
about three months So I wondered it
you would care to take ber place
again. It would suit me very well In
deed. Your work was moBt satisfac
tory. What do you say?"
"Oh. Mr. Albery!" Laurie was
taken aback. Of course, It was a rise,
a big rise In the oHce. And she had
found It most Interesting. But the
was of two minds.
A little voice deep Inside her said
"No, don't take it on!" She bad not
the remotest Idea why. Except that,
perhaps, she bad at times felt slight
ly uncomfortable when she waa with
Mr. Albery. But that was ridiculous.
Her business mind pushed the
doubt aside and grasped eagerly at
"Rex and I have some Important plant to make," said Albery.
Vou are more than welcome, Mrs.
Moore."
He was thinking that she did not
look as happy as she ought to. Last
night, at dinner, he had thought how
beautiful she was. But very quiet
Of course. It must have been a great
shock to her. And, though Joy doesn't
kill, ft may frighten a seusitive na
ture. itex Moore he had not understood
at ail. He could make no contact
with him. The young man seemed
entirely withdrawn; his eyes, bis
words, bis very self. He evidently
would not speak of his experience
after bis crash.
To his wife he teemed abrupt,
though friendly so friendly as to be
almost artificial. But, alone with Al
bery. he was full of plans, bursting
with energy and ambition. And what
a bard bargain he had driven tor bis
exclusive services! The fellow had
seemed to think of nothing but the
money. Not a bit like Rex Moore of
the old days.
Albery was more and more driven
to the conclusion that hit accident
bad caused a slight kink In his mind.
ALBERY felt bis new dislike of
the airman growing, as he
watched him with his wife. The
scene came back to him when, on
that first night, he had broken the
news to him of his wife being In
London and employed by the firm.
How Incomprehensible be bad
teemed. How offhand his manner had
been, almost Inhuman. Thinking It
over, be wondered If Moore was dis
appointed to find she was In England.
It almost looked like It Perhaps he
would rather she had been In Aus
tralia. Perhaps he had formed other
ties. Two years was a long time for a
man to live alone.
And bow excessively anxious ha
had been to avoid all publicity!
Albery looked now at Laurie's pale,
expressive face. Her eyea were Rhln
lng. but they did not look like the
eyes of a happy wife. His own dark
ones glowed with sympathy.

1 am that you should find me suit

bing voice.
'"TpHAT'S aettled, then. You'll be

strictly business-like. No ono would
Imagine that his heart waa beating:
fast and the blood pulsing In bis
veins. Not even his own secret mind
admitted that he was In love with
this girl and was determined to take.
her from Rex Moore, In one way or
in another, sooner or later.
"It will be suitable In several
ways," he added kindly. "Doing my
personal work you will be more In
the zone of your husband's job. All
his work with me Is entirely confi
dential. So we shall In a way all
three be working together."
It was a wonderful piece of luck,,
and yet Laurie was In the grip of an
uncomfortable mental depression,!
like a vague premonition of evil, as)
she went back to her own office for'
the last time. j
That evening, when she left work,
she collected the last of her personal '
belongings from ber little flat, tell-j
Ing the landlady that aha would!

excited and bursting with curiosity,;
which Laurie could not satisfy. It'
had been enough to say that her hus
band, the famous airman, had come
back from the dead, and that they
were moving temporarily Into an
other flat, as hers was not large
enough when ber sister came home.
But was keeping It on as It was for
the remainder of her lease.
She hailed a tnxl and waa driven
to the new flat in Chelsea, not on tha
Embankment, but In a pleasant side
street, with trees on either side, and
with a view of the river from a bay
window In the big front living room.

T
DECLARED NEED IN
CHURCH OF TODAY
Speaking from the Church of the
Naaarene pulpit Sunday morning,
Fred M. Weatherford, pastor- v in ge
11st,' uaed as hla topic, "First Century
Pentecostal Power Available In the
Nineteenth," aeld In part as follows:
"You will find my text In Arts 1:8,
'Ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ohoat has come upon you.'
"The Christian church, today, taps
the same fountain head for spiritual
rehabilitation that the first century
devotees resorted to. Sin, In tho hu
;man heart, hu never changed and
there has never been but one remedy
for It. Christ haa ever been and ever
shall be the only emancipator to the
slaves tn sin.
"The occasion of my text waa Christ
addreaslng the deeclplea, who had
been saved for more ihan a period of
three years: yet, there was something
lacking In their spiritual equipment
essential to Christianizing conquest.
The context tells us that he had re
quested of them to tarry in prayer
and supplication, for this anduement
of power, with the promise that he
would send It, in answer to their pe
tition. "Their tarrying resulted In a recep
tion of that power. It la evident that
they spent approximately ten days in
the prayer meeting that preceded the
power giving. Without doubt, they
spent the major part of their tlnw in
praying themselves to a condition In
consecration and self -abandonment,
pursuant to the empowerment.
"Billy Sunday characterized the
modern church as being so cold, spir
itually, that one could skate down the
aisles and pick Icicles from the chan
deliers. "The church, today, Is largely burn
ing Incense to human achievement.
The Pentecostal ohtirch was a Christ
exalting church. Today the church is
being defied by the stamp of human
Ism. Then, all was done to the glory
of Ohrlst. Now, much is done to the
glory of man and a consequent hu
miliation to the church.
"The church is not In need, today,
of a great ecclesiastical union, as
some would broadly herald, to atone
for her weakness. She Is pathetically
In need of nineteenth century Pen
tecostal Power.
"If the hands of the enemlrs of
the church, such as the Free Think
ers' League, are to be stayed, the
church must go down in the upper
room for the deslmlnatlng . powor
adequate for a nineteenth century
world evangelization epoch."
SOLDIERS' QUELL
BELFAST RIOTING
BELFAST, Northern Ireland. July
18. (AP) Steel-helmted troopers
with fixed bayonets patrolled the
streets today, alert for any new out
break of the disturbances which re
sulted In five deaths and the wound

Comparative quiet prevailed during
the early hours after a series of re
ligious riots, originating with last
Friday's celebrations by the Protest
ant Orangemen of the 245th anniver
sary of. the Battle of the Boyne.
