IC THE BEGIN HERE TODAY i Dilly Gilliam, her mother Mrs. Gil- liam, with Leila Thombury, a di-j vorcee, are trimming a Christmas tree in the Church of the Nativity, a| fashionable church of New York. ; Mrs. J. Orson Tice, society leader,' comes in with Jerry Goodkind, a man- ' about-town, who is interested in Clare Jewett. engaged to the Rev. Daniel Gilchrist, the assistant rector of the chu»ch, in bad favor because of his 'â-  .•adical s-emions. j Dr. Wadhani, the rector, drops inj to attend a nieetinp of the wardens. Charles Benficld declares that either he or Gilchrist must leavj the church. Jerry proposes niarriajje to Clare. NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY "You think it's sordid at 3.45 on Christmas eve," he leered. "Well, keep your ears and your mind open, and see how you feel in the morn- ing. My telephone's Rhinelandcr six- nine- four-two â€" and this is the last time I shall ask vou." "Wait!" He paused for Claire to proceed. "Whatever you believe of me," she continued, "I love Mr. Gilchrist." "Rhinelander six-ninc-four-two," was his only comment. CHAPTER IV. THE MEETl.NC OF THE WAHDENS Clare Jewett stared with burninK. angrry eyes at the door that closed upon Jerry Goixlkind. It seemed as though he had paused on the other side to leer at her thro\igh the heavy oak panel. As she took a step for- ward, an echo announced the closinp of the outer door nnd she turned back. She looked dovyn to see that her hands, doubling"unconscii.usly in nerv- ous tensity, were crushing the tissue- wrapped packages she still held. Fuming, she hurled them al the foot of the iree, where others lay, piled high, just as Dr. Wadham came from the choir room. "Whyâ€" Miss Jtw(;tt!" the minister protested in surprise. .â- jht' looketl up, embarrassed. , "I'm nervous," she cried petulantly.) "I want to finish up and go home." j She rushed past hinrthrough the door | he had just opened. Bewildered, the minister stopped and rearranged the disordered packages. The noise of the outer door pre- saged a visitor and Dr. Wadham rose I hastily and dusted himself off. ".\h, Mr. fioodkind." he said as th<' smior warden ^amc in briskly. "You're early." George !•'. Goodkitul. Jerry's father, carried the air of a busy office with him everywhere. Even evening clothes or the heavy overcoat and gloves he wore now, one felt that there should have been a desk in front of him and a nimliU'-fingered steno- "Who ever heard of a poor Jew?" Mr. Goodkind scorned. "Mr. Gilchrist isnt here," inter- j/osed Dr. Wadhani. "1 told him that, but he won't go away. Why don't he go over to the synagogue instead of hanging around a Christian church? Mr. C.ilchri.-'t gave him his overcoat this morning and I guess he's come back for the gloves." "Tell hnn I'll speak to Mr. Gil- christ,' dismissed Dr. Wadham, and Mr. Barnaby, shaking his liead dis- pairingly, left. "Well, there you nre," said Gi>od- kind with the air of a prosecutc>r closing the state's case. "And that's what I wanted to talk to you about privatelyâ€" what's got into the boy? Has he gone crazy?" "I've asked myself that," Dr. Wad- ham answered in perplexity. "I've asked myself whether what he saw in France â€" " "Exactly. A lot of young fallows go off the handle and start out to re- form the world, but this lad has run through $20,000 in less than» three months." "In addition to his salary?" "Yes. I could understand it if he'd spent the money on himself, but he hasn't. He's given it away! Gil- christ's father was my first partner, and I got the boy in here, and I feel responsible for him. As trustee, I can refuse to turn over another penny of his principal, and, as senior war- den, I can demand his resignation from this church. But I want him to have every chance. Tell him if he'll get a grip on himself and reconsider tomorrow's sermon â€" " This time it was "Charlie" Benfield who interrupted. The chastening shadows of a Iwilighted church did not soften the flinty features of the man. He was of the type that is known as self-made. He adopted ar- work. The people neither drink nor tmoke, and are deeply reliifiou*. The soil l» very fertile and food grows in abundance. The oranges are siiid to be among the finest in the world, but for these and other tropi- cal fruits the only market is the pass- ing shipc. There are few insects and no pests to spoil the crops.

"No. but he's invested heavily in my West Virginia coal mine.?, and down there we're on the verge of the biggest walkout in our history. You see what I mean?" The Rev. Dr. Wadham nodded .knowingly. "The labor problem's none of the church's business,' continued Good- kind, warming up, "or any outsider's Dufiness. It's a worrisome subject nnd there's no good stirring it up. That's what you want to tell Gil- christ." .Vir. Wadham lifted a hand in a gesture of futility. "I have told him," he said, "~fre- -UlSPtly." ''And what's the answer? "He says every problem ought to be the church's business, and that until the church becomes a power in live issues it Isn't a power in life." "He won't listen to reason? Then he'll have to Wsten to something el.se. If he persists about this Chrltmas sermon â€" ' Mr. Barnaby opened the door. The two paused. "There's a man out there wants to „,...

Daniel stepped foi-ward quietly. He was smiling. "A church that isn't big enough for \ two little men, Mr. Benfield," he said simply, "must be somewhat crowded for God." I CHAPTER V. j DISMISSED. ' Benfield turned on the advancing; figure savagely. A torrent of vitu- ; peration surged through his brain. But somehow the tranquility of the figure before him disarmed him com- pletely. His attac!: became nothing more than a scowl and when this met a smile his rout was compltte. He i stormed past Gilch "ist and the slam : ' of the door a moment later was the; only audible indication of his ire. i "*Ir.

Goodkind picked up his hat and sauntered toward him. "Pneumonia weather, Danie'." he advised in a fatherly tone. "Where's your overcoat?" "Outside," was the response. (To be continued.)

"Hello, George!" he greeted, "llow'd'y, doctor. Am I late?" "We've been waiting for you," said Dr. Wadhani nervously. He was al- ways uneasy when Benficld was about. "Hadn't we better retire to my study if we're going lo discuss Mr. Gilchrist?" "We're not," Benfield disagreed emphatically. "We've been discuss- ing long (-nough. All I got to say now is: Gilchrist leaves this church 01 1 do." "Now. wait a minute," said the sen- ior warden calmly. "Isn't that a little mandatory?'' said Dr. Wadham, taking courage. "I don't know what it is, but it goes," continued Benfield positively. "I've worked hard all my life, nnd now this fellow gets up and tells nie that I've worked for nothing, that I'M nothing, and that all my ideas I'.re wrong." "Walt a minute, Charlie," inter- rupted Goodkind. "That's not the tone to take to Dr. Wadham. We all feel that Gilchrist has gone loo far and wo'ro agi'ced â€" " "Docs ho preach tomorrow?" Ben- field shouted. "We'ro agreed that if he insists upon preaching about the strikeâ€"" "He goes?" "He goes!" "All rlglit. And if he don't insist-?" "He stays." "And I go!" Benfield's voire of wrath had drowned the opening and closing of the door. Back to the panel, Daniel Gilchrist squared his shoulders. They were broad shoulders and had carried him through many a brick-wall foot- ball line in his college days. At f)3 ho was still trim and fit. This was partially due to the self-denial one read in his slender, ascetic face. Even in the shadow his smile was visible. It lighted his eyes with good humor. They were honest eyes, with strength and zealoutness in their fire. Thci-e was nothing forbidding about his figure.
