The work went swiftly. His prelim-

maps of the geodetic survey he panto-
graphed a scale enlargement of the

Baxter had run down to Del Monte
to pay a duty call *o his mother. Duty,
in Baxter’s case, Caleb surmised, as
with hls affection, was largely a mat-
ter of keeping his mother in good hu-
mor whereby the financial supplies
might be more’ lavishly and easily
forthcoming. Both were too selfish,
after years of indulgence and spoiling,
to have much genuine love for each
other. In one of the gossiping week-
lies at the club—not Vedder’s Pioneer
—Caleb noticed an Item that caught
hls eye with the mention of the Bax-
ter name.
"It to rumored by Dame Gossip,” ran
the paragraph, “that Ted Baxter, who,
by the way, has been hanging up some
creditable scores in the golf tourna-
ment on the Del Monte links, to not
overjoyed at the insinuating chatter
that persits In suggesting that he may
shortly acquire a stepfather. Gossip
has been rife in this direction before,
tout now intentions seem to be serious.
It to hinted that young Baxter may

tirely out of prospect, according to
those who claim to have watched Ted'
strolling on the fair-greens in the early
mornings with a certain demoiselle
who has Inherited a fortune from in-
terests closely connected with the lum-
ber industry.”
Caleb could not guess, and dld^ot
care to, the name of the girl referred
to. And Caleb whistled under hls
breath.
"If Mary Morgan sees this Item.” he
told himself, "she is likely to stir
up things. I wonder how Ted's stock
deal to prospering?"
Baxter had not told him the name
of the shares with which he was spec-
ulating. But he noticed the girl the
next morning as he passed through
an outer office to Cox's private room

Caleb felt it full upon him. He
thought that it half besought half
challenged him not to speak of her to
Cox. And then the month grew sul-

retary held the door open for Caleb.

Great Personages
of the Bible

REV. LEONARD A., BARRETT
....................... . ■-
a mother’s pride and confidence in
her son Is beautifully portrayed
through an incident which occurred in
Cana. The occasion is a wedding
feast and the refreshments which were
furnished for the feast had given out.
Mary interceded with Jesus In behalf
of the guests and the embarrassment
was relieved by the first miracle which
Jesus performed. The confidence
which Mary had In her Son is ex-
pressed in her command to the serv-
ants, "Whatsoever He salth unto you.
do it.”
Upon another occasion Mary, moth-
erlike, desired to speak with Jesus,
doubtless upon a subject of vital con-
cern to herself, but which Jesus felt
was not as important as the work of
preaching and healing. While Jesus
was speaking to the crowds of people,
Mary stood outside waiting for an op-
portunity to speak with Him. When
Jesus was Informed of her wish. He
made a reply to Hls followers which
was a frank declaration of His spirit-
ual mission. Motherlike, Mary again
"Kept all this in her heart.”
At the crucifixion, the concern which
| Jesus had for His mother is very beau-
. tlful and tender. He provides for her
future care and gives her a parting as-
surance of Hls love and devotion. But
Jesus, her Son, whom she perhaps
never did thoroughly understand, was
being crucified. Again, the only place
where Mary could safely hide her sor-
row and her pain was In the sanctuary
of her heart.
This attitude of Mary, of hiding
things In her heart, stands out as a
very unique characteristic of her na-
ture. The only safe place of sure re-
treat Is the human heart.
The wisdom of the heart to many
times more valuable than the wisdom
of the mind "Out of the heart are
the issues of life." The lamps of cour-
age, sympathy, and strength are lit
within the temple of the heart. The

he saw little of these days nor did he

By which Caleb Inferred that
he needed money badly for his affair
with the stenographer.
“Not going to get married, are you?”
■ Inquired Baxter jestingly. “I suppose
you were browsing over at El Nido
when you acquired that tan. She
must be some girl. I told you you'd
fail hard. The mater's due at Del
Monte tomorrow,” he went on. “I
thought I'd need her to help me out,
but, if I pull off this stock deal. I'll
be tn clover. Good Job I didn’t write
her. Something usually shows up if
you’re in luck. If you’re not, why,
that’s all there is to it.”
Ee frowned. Caleb saw him look-
ing at his picture gallery on the bu-
reau :
"How are things going In that direc-
tion?” he asked.
"Meaning Mary Morgan? That’s
her name.” Baxter picked up the sil-
ver frame.. His face was still clouded.
“She’s getting hard to handle. Still
hanging^m to her job. Wants me to
marry her, but insists upon the child
being born, anyway. Says she always
wanted one. She’s an enigma to me.
I think I’ll be able to transfer her to
a gun-metal setting before long.
Here’s hoping! Tell me about your
doings across the bay, for that’s where
you were, of course.”
But Caleb did not care to discuss
Betty, and the telephone broke their
chat
“It’s the Morgan girl,” said Baxter.
“She’a getting to be a pest, but she’s
got to be jollied. Be sorry for me,
Caleb.”
Caleb cocked hls eyebrow. The ref-
erence to the stenographer as “the
Morgan girl,” after all that had hap-
pened and still lay between them,
struck him as particularly callous.
Still, Baxter often spoke with affected
bravado. Caleb kept silent.
ary of her heart.
Not only was the prophecy concern-
ing Jesus locked up in Mary’s heart;
She also treasured there the mystery
which surrounded her child Jesus. She
could not altogether adjust herself to
His dual nature. Truly He was her
son, but He was also the Son of'God.
I Pathetic is the incident for Mary
when she discovered that after leav-
ing the temple she had lost her Son.
She sought for Hirn diligently, but no-
where could He be found. Upon re-
turning to the temple, hoping that she
might find Him in the crowd, imagine
her consternation when she discovered
that Jesus, though but thirteen years
of age. was occupying a distinguished

■ miliar with the place where Pharaoh’s |
daughter came to bathe, and believed
that somehow through her the child
would be saved. She placed the ark
at the particular place where It would
attract attention. It to Interesting to
note the steps as pointed out by an-
other, by which God's plan was car-
ried out.
1. The mother’s wit.
She placed the baby at the proper
place and at the opportune time.
Then, too, Miriam was no doubt sta-
tioned as a watch to aid in the af-
fair (v. 4).
2. A faithful sister (v. 7).
Had Miriam not been faithful, hu-
manly speaking, Moses' life would not
have been preserved and properly
nursed and educated at the proper
time. This should be a worthy ex-
ample for every sister, causing her to
exercise watch and care over
brother.
8. A woman's curiosity (v. 5).
-This strange object among
flags attracted the attention of Pha-
raoh’s daughter and she directed her
maids to bring it to her.
4. A woman’s compassion (v. 6).
When the ark was brought and
opened the baby wept. That woman
has lost her feminine instinct who is
unmoved with compassion at the cry
of a lonely, motherless baby.
5. The baby’s teiSw (v. 6).
The tears aroused her womanly in- |
stinct, and at the suggestion of
Miriam the baby’s mother was hired
to nurse her own child. No one can
nurse a child so well as Its own
mother.
IV. Moses’ Education (v. 9).
1. Moses was first educated at his
mother's knee.
During this time hto character took
form. Here hls mind was filled with
the Word of God and he was made
acquainted with the Jewish hopes and
prospects,
doubt the Indomitable purpose was
fixed to suffer affliction with the peo-
ple of God rather than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season (Heb.
11:24-26). Seeing by faith the destiny
of her child, Jochebed made good use
of her time.
2. At the Egyptian court (v. 10).
It was here that he became ac-
quainted with all the wisdom of the
Egyptians (Acte 7:22). This was of
great importance. It peculiarly quail-
fled him to be the lawgiver and hl»
torian of hto people.

It was not Caleb's affair and he had
hto own business to attend to. Baxter
would show up in his own good time.
Caleb finished hto breakfast and went
down to his office to superintend the
packing of the model and its dispatch
to Cox. Later he visited his bank.
It was noon before he got back to the
apartment house.
He found Baxter changing

whites of his eyes congested,
leb the signs were plain,

“Seen the paper. I suppose?" Baxter
greeted Caleb. "There’s the devil to

and so’s my income. Look at that.”
He picked up a slip of pink paper
from his dressing table and handed it
to Caleb. It was a check for one thou-
sand dollars.
