Sheâ€"is triumphant in having won the respect of her father and her town. But Doctor Steddon, if he could have seen the realm he objurgated, would have confessed that the devil had a certain grace as a gardener and that his minions were a handsome, happy throng. As it was, Doctor Steddon had never seen Los Angeles "Los _ Angeles!" the _ sneering preacher cried, as Jonah might have whinnied, "Nineveh!"‘and with equal scorn. "The Spanish missionaries may have called it the City of Angels; but the moving pictures have changed its name to Los Diablos! For it is the central factory of Satan and his minâ€" ions, the enemy of our homes, the corâ€" rupter of our young men and women â€"the school of crime.

She is being: wooed . by Tom Holby, who saves her when she is in great danger during the filmâ€" ing of a scene. As her fame as an actress grows, she is wooed by others, including ‘one Austin Boas, but her great thrill comes when she returns to her home town and her father atâ€" tends a theatre to see one of her picâ€" tures, saying that "what is good enough for my daughter is good enough for me," and reversing comâ€" pletely his opinion of the "movies." swallow it!" Though he was two thousand miles or more awayâ€"the Reverend Doctor Steddon was so convinced by his own prophetic ire that he would hardly have been surprised to read in the Monday morning‘s paper that a benâ€" evolent earthquake had taken his hint and shrugged the new Babylon off into the Pacific ocean. an accident, at the advice of Dr. Betherick, gives her bad cough as an excuse to get to Arizona and from there writes home that she has me and married "Mr. . Woodville," _ a wholly imaginary person. Later, she writes again to say that her "husâ€" band" has died in the desert. She takes a job as a domestic to avoid being a burden to her parents. A fall prevents her becoming a mother. In Arizona she had met Tom Holby, a leading man in a motion picture company, and through him gets the opportunity to play a part in a desert drama. With the company is Robina Teele, a star, fond of Holby and Leva Lemaire, an extra woman. After her accident, Mem becomes friendly with Mrs. Dack, a poor woman of Palm Springs, Arizona, and takes an inâ€" terest in her bright little son, Terry Dack, who has a great gift of mimi ery. Inspired by a letter from Leva, Mem goes to Los Angeles and there takes a job in a film laboratory. She writes Mrs. Dack to bring on her son as there may be a chance for his talâ€" ent. And then as she receives news that her mother is coming, Mem loses her job! & ‘ Mrs. Steddon, wholly: sympathizâ€" ing with her daughter, defends her in a letter to her husband. .

Dr. Steddon, a clergyman of kind heart but narrow mind who attributes much of the evil of the world to the "movies" and constantâ€" ly inveighs against them. Mem, her lover Elwood Farnaby having died in Work piled up, calls to make, too much summer dullness in your system. ‘"Snap out of it". Cold and Snappy Drink it FIRST INSTALMENT A BRACER! in _ _ THE WESTON TIMES & GUIDLE h |I §# SALE u) CC cuPE| Among the slipshod children of his family Elwood alone had managed to acquire ambition. He had latterly supâ€" ported his mother and a pack of brothers and sisters. He had even been able to afford to go to the war and win the guerdon of a wound that made him glorious in Remember Stedâ€" don‘s eyes and a little more lovable than ever. s For it is only the styles, and not the souls that change. There are chronâ€" icles enough to prove that the same quota of the Remembers and the Praisegods of Plymouth and the other colonies suffered the same bitter beatâ€" itudes and frantic bewilderments as Remember Steddon and Elwood Farnâ€" aby endured when their elbows touchâ€" ed in the choir loft of this midâ€" western village. Somehow in the words he chanted seemed to stab him with a sense of guilt. He felt it a terrible thing for her to stand before that congregation and ery aloud words of ecstasy over her redemption from sin. Their secret, unknown and unconâ€" fessed, was concealedâ€"by the very clamor of its publication.. And it troubled Farnaby mightily to be gainâ€" ing all the advantage of a lie by singâ€" ing the truth. ; When the choir was not singing openly and overboard, it was usually busily whispering. _ Even Elwood Farnaby had to lean over tonight and whisper important news to Rememâ€" ber. ie was not permitted to call at her house or to beau her home after the service. Singing beside her in the house of Godâ€"that was different. He told her now what he had just learned, that the factory where he was employâ€" ed would close down the following week because of hard times. Elwood was to have been promoted to superâ€" intendent soon. â€" Her father, however, had been unâ€" able to tolerate the thought of his Miss Steddon felt a sudden tremor in Farnaby‘s elbow; then it was gone from hers; she saw his thumb nail whigen as it gripped the hymn book hard. To Remember Steddon ,the news that Elwood would have no job in a week and would know no place to look for one had more than a commercial interest. It was the alarum of fate. Her father and mother had named her Rememberâ€"after one of the Mayâ€" flower girlsâ€"nearly three hundred years after.. Her father often wished that she had been liker to those Puriâ€" tan maidens. But that was because he did not know . how like she was to them, how much they, too, had terriâ€" fied their parents with their love of finery and romantic experiment. _ _ She had loved Elwood since they were childrenâ€"had loved him all the more for the squalor of his home. He was the son of the town‘s most eminâ€" ent drunkard, old "Falldown Farnaby." But then she had not escaped blame herself, and she was in mortal dread now of a vast cloud of obloquy lowerâ€" ing above her and ominous with lightâ€" ning. and had never seen a moving picture. He knew that the world was going to wrack and ruinâ€"as usualâ€"and he laid the blame on the nearest novelty â€"as usual. & His daughter had heard him lay the blame in previous years on other acâ€" tivities. She wished he wouldn‘t. h mhiaos Ay RUPERT -'1 P ctiao, aney. . ponaiLp Riley o 000 0_ _ _ J§8$ ... All he said was, "My Child!" ... ©Your cough will take a long time to cure or kill," he said. "But it may come in very handy. I‘ve got it all thought out. You can‘t stay in this town now, I suppose. Most of the animals crawl away to hide at such a time: so suppose you just vanish. Let your cough carry you off toâ€"say, Arizona or California." After a brief honeymoon she could eliminate Woodville in some way to be decided at leisure. It would be risky, he said, to let Mr. Woodville live too long. A hurricane struck the little town of Caverly on the day of Elwood‘s funeral. When Mem expressed a wish to sing with the choir at the serâ€" vice over their late fellowâ€"singer, her mother cried, "A girl who‘s got to be shipped out West has got no right to go out in weather like this." It was Dr. Bretherick who afterâ€" ward found a solution. He chose Woodville as the name. Mem was to write of Mr. Woodville‘s devotion. then to descibe a hasty marâ€" riage and request that her letters thereafter be addressed to her as Mrs. Woodville. "I‘ll tell the necessary lies. That‘s a large part of my practice. And practice makes perfect. You will go to some strange townâ€"and pose as a widow. "«©You will marry an imaginary man out there and let him die quietly. Then if you ever want to come home here, you can come back as Mrs. Somebodyâ€" orâ€"other." ‘ Next morning at her father‘s comâ€" mand Mem went to see Doctor Brethâ€" ‘erick. She told him that her parents were afraid her cold was more than a cold, and she coughed for him. He asked her many questions, and she grew so confused and apt to blushes that he asked her more. Suddenly he flung her a startled look, gasped, and stared into her eyes as if he would ransack her mind. In the mere shiftâ€" ing of his eyelid muscles she could read amazement, incredulity, convicâ€" tion, anger, and finally pity. All he said was, "My child!" There could be no solemner conferâ€" ence than theirs. Doctor Bretherick had attended Mem‘s moher when the girl was born. He thought of her still as a child, and now she dazed him and frightened him by her mystic knowledges and her fierce demands that he should help her out of her plight or help her out of the world. . In the talk that followed, Dr. Brethâ€" erick drew out the fact Elwood Farnâ€" aby was "the man" and suggested a plan for their marriage when the teleâ€" phone rang. ue "It wasn‘t Elwood ?" Mem said. "No. Yes. Wellâ€" O God! what a bitter world this is!" Mem caught eagerly at grief. "Tell me! What‘s happened ? What‘s hanpened to Elwood? He‘s hurt. He‘s killed." She was startled at this undreamedâ€" of escape. He went on: _ s . The doctor‘s welcoming "Hello!" broke through a manyâ€"wrinkled smile. It froze to a grimace. As Mem watched he kept saying: "Yes . . .Yes On the way home under the wasted magic of the rising moon, Remember did not walk as usual between her father and mother with a hand on the arm of each. Tonight she kept at her mother‘s left elbow and clung so tight to the fat, warm arm that her mother whispered: "What‘s the matter, honey ?" ‘Nothing, mamma," she faltered. "I‘m just a little tired, I guess." _ He refused to do either and deâ€" manded that she meet her fate with heroism. . . . Yes!" and finally, "That‘s rightâ€" bring him here." He set down the telephone as if it were a drained cup of hemlock. _ She coughed incessantly, too, and kept putting her hand to her chest as if it hurt her there. Yet he had noted that she was paler of late and had added that worry to his backbreaking load of worries. 5 Mem again was coughing violently and the rest of the way home Doctor Steddon was not a preacher anxious about his daughter‘s soul, but a father afraid of her life.. The cough to her parents was an ominous problem. To her it might promise a solution. Elwood had expected that the bad news would shock her. But he could not understand the look of ghastly terror she gave him. He forgot it in his own bitter brodding and did not observe the deathly white that blanchâ€" ed her pallor. . daughter‘s marrying the son of the town sot. Doctor Steddon felt that he was proving his love, his loving wisâ€" dom toward his daughter, by forbidâ€" ding her even to meet young Farnaby outside the choir loft. He was sure that her love would wear out. _ ___ _~He did not know his daughter. Who ever did ? "©Yegs!
