She put a hand on his arm, soft and
clinging. Caleb could feel the warmth
of her palm penetrating the light cloth
of his sleeve.
"Now 1 can thank you for saving

warded, toreador. What do you want?
You can have—anything.”
She spoke so softly that he stooped
to listen. Her breath was on his face,
her eyes held tittle flames, her lips
were parted. Her whole face was a
challenge to desire.
Caleb was human.

As he reviewed the affair at break-
fast the next morning Caleb found no
cause for gratulationa
“What did Betty Clinton think of
him?” he asked himself, conscious ofp
the fact that Jie desired nothing more;
than to stand in her eyes better than]
any other man. Th* thing was at an1
awkward pass. He could not go to her!
and say—“I want to explain to you,
the reason why you saw me kissing;

nore the Incident once, she surely,
would continue to do so. But his sl-f
lence—to which he was committed—J
left the inference that he was either
flirting outrageously with Carmen or
serious in his Intentions toward her.'
His annoyance wheeled on Baxter.
His enmity toward Caleb appeared as
more than a transient streak of bad
temper. J
With an effort he dismissed the mat-‘
ter, since he could not mend IL re-,
solving to move his quarters at the
end of the month and leave Baxter to
his own devices. 4
Mall rattled through the silt in his
door. There was r. letter from the
Crystal Springs company. The di-
rectors’ meeting was scheduled for the
next afternoon. The note was a bare
mention of the fact from Cox's secre-,
tary. It did not leave him much time.
He would have to hurry along the
model and his notes for the Improve-
ments.
He plunged hard and deeply into it
all. He bribed the machinist to work
double-time and got a promise that the
model would positively be ready. By
three he had managed to complete his
notes, to secure the pipeline model—
not quite finished but sufficiently so—
while a special price had secured him
prints of his photographs. Thus armed
he arrived on time, filled with the in-
vigorating tingle that prefaced the In-
terview, cool enough on the surface,
determined to win over any opposition.
He had to wait for a few moments.
And, while he waited, he saw the
stenographer, Miss Morgan, sending
guarded glances In his direction. Onco
he thought he caught an appeal in her
eyes, even a suggestion that she
wanted to talk with him. She looked
111, tired, walking without spring, all
her spruceness vanished. A ball
buzzed, the secretary went into Cox's
room and came out again with:
"They’re ready for you now, Mr.
Warner.”
Cox was in his own office to usher
him Into the directors’ room where the
big model was on the long table.
"You’ve met some of us,” saM Cox
genially as he introduced him.
Caleb recognized Morse, of the Lum-
ber ring, Lawler, the oil magnate, Win-
ton of the Light and Power company
and Marlin, Thurston’s uncle. Hinck-
ley was there. The atmosphere seemed
friendly but charged with business.
The face/* were serious, thoughtful. ;
“Suppose,” said Cox, "that you give
us all the same talk you made to
Hinckley and inyself. We have gone
over the matter already, but we should
like to hear from you.”
Caleb got up and began at the be-
ginning. He spoke fluently. His talk
came naturally as he opened up the
filing cabinet of his inInd. He com
menced with Cox’s dinner and the first
prompting that came from the state
ment of Golden’s lack of water And
he wound up crlsphr wlt^t th* produc-
tion of hfs pipe-joint model, and the’
notes and photographs connected
with it.
Hinckley’s eyes kindled.
“This should solve that problem.” he
declared. "You have lilt npon a bully
idea, and the right one, Mr. Warner.”
Th* directors began to sit at ease,
to produce cigars or select from a box •
that circulated to Caleb.
"You’re thorough, young man.” said
Marlin. “Shall we go into conference,
Cox?” He looked at his watch.
"We’ll ask you to excuse us for fif-
teen minutes, Mr. Warner," said Cox.
“We’ll send out for you.”
Caleb did not stay in the offices. He
paced the corridor outside, smoking. '
pondering his chances. He had Oak-
ville to fall back upon, but there was
always the chance—always the chance
In Big Business—that, having given up

1. Th* date (v. 2).

came a change in th* order of time.
Th* common year waa rolling on aa

chosen people the order was Interrupt-
ed and everything was made to date
from this event
2. The lamb set apart (w. 3-5).
Thia lamb must be a male without
blemish, Indicating that It must be
both representative and perfect
3. The iamb waa killed by the whole
congregation (v. 6).
This shows that it was not for th*
individual only, but for the entire as-
sembly. The setting apart of the lamb
was not sufficient. It must be killed,
for “without the shedding ot blood
there is n* remission of sins.”
4. The blood of the alaln lamb was
to be placed upon the side posts and
lintels of the door (v. 7). When th*
destroying sngel passed through ths
land he passed over tbe bouse* wher*
the door post* were sprinkled with
"blood (v. 23). This blood was the evi-
dence that a substitute had been of-
fered for them.

(w. 8-10).
This denotss fellowship. The lamb
roasted signified th* action of fir* in
God's judgment at th* cross. Th* head,
the legs and purtenanc* thereof show
that in the substitutionary sacrifice th*
understanding, th* walk and all that
pertains thereto were involved. This
shows that the atonement of jAua
Christ involved His obedience to law
as well as His suffering In the stead
of His own. The eating of unleavened
bread signifies that no sin is connect-
ed with or allowed in fellowship with
Christ. Ix-aven signifies corruption
(I Cor. 5:7,8). The Israelites did not
put away leaven to be saved from the
destroying angel, but being saved be-
cause under th* shadow of tbe blood
they put away leaven, that la. evil, la
order to have fellowship with their
Redeemer. The bitter herbs connected
with this feast suggest the bitterness
of Christ’s suffering.
6. They ate th* passover ready for
action (v. 11).
' Their loins were girded, their shoes
were on their feet, and a staff tn hand.
The girding of the loins betokened sep-
aration from sin, and preparation and
readiness for service. The feet being
shod Indicated their willingness and
readiness to march out of Egypt The
staff in hand Indicated their nature a*

side of themselvea They were to leave
behind them the place of death and
darkness and march to the promised
land.
7. The unclrcutnclsed denied partici-
pation in the feast (vv. 43-49). Cir-
cumcision was typical of regeneration.
The significance of the requirement Is
that only those who have become new
creatures by the power of the Cross
have a right to sit at tbe passover
feast.

It was a memorial Institution, call-
ing to mind the deliverance of th*
Israelites from Egyptian bondage. This
was to be taught to their children
from generation to generation when
they came into the land.

Yet he could
not tell himself later who had given
the kiss—or taken it. Her fragrance
surrounded him, for a second her arm
was about his neck, her body supple
to his own. with their lips together.
The passion of her clinging mouth
burned, soft, yet fiery. They were one,
welded with something more than
merely physical contact.
Then she stepped back with a little
laugh, straightening the flower in her
hair. Caleb saw that her eyes were
looking beyond him. And she laughed
again, an odd little murmur of con-
tent
He wheeled. Standing on the thres-
hold of the conservatory was Betty
Clinton, at the head of the st^ps. Be-
hind her was Baxter. Caleb stood as
if suddenly frozen, while she passed as
if she did not see him.
“It is a perfectly glorious night,”
she said to Baxter as she moved on.
Carmen had vanished. Baxter gave
him a malicious smile as he followed
Betty to the end of the conservatory.
Caleb stood irresolute and then went
slowly down the steps into the big
room. <
The evening was utterly spoiled for
him. Carmen rejoined him but he
would not reaccept her challenge. He
wanted to leave but he stuck it out,
conscious that he had deliberately of-
fended Carmen, hardly daring to
imagine how Betty had construed the
scene she had happened upon with
Baxter as her partner. How had Bax-
ter happened to be there on that of all
evenings? Caleb remembered that he
had said he was a friend of the Ved-
ders but he fancied that, If he had
been actually Invited, Vedder would
have said something about it. Yet
Vedder did not necessarily know that
Caleb Warner and Fred Baxter were
intimates. And it was not a formal
affair. Baxter might merely have ex-
ercised his right of dropping in.
He found the Jade eyes of Mrs. Oar-
quinez regarding him with a sidelong
glance of hufnor, of understanding, not
lacking in sympathy. He became sud-
denly conscious that he had stopped
listening to her, or talking to her,
whichever it might have been, and
that he was watching intently the
group of which Betty was the hub.
Even aa he flushed under the scrutiny
of his vis-a-vis, Betty nodded to him,
pleasantly, as she might to an • ac-
quaintance. Not—Caleb decided—as
she would have acted if the incident
she had chosen to Ignore had never
occurred.
“You have met Miss Clinton?” asked
the artist’s wife. “She Is a charming
girl. She is different—and indifferent
—so say the men. She and I are close
friends."
“Yes?" Caleb could muster nothing
better than the inane syllable.
He was grateful to Mrs. Carqulnez.
Did she mean him to be, he wondered.
Had she seen what the rest had
missed with those oblique green eyes
of hera? And had she tried to help
him?
The rest of the affair went on to
Caleb as if he looked at it through a
screen. Champagne was opened and
he saw Baxter lift his brimming glass
and rise in a clever speech to his host
and hostess. Caleb recollected the
doctor's mention of "hampagne and its
action on Baxter. He wondered If the
latter would make an ass of himself.
As soon as the first couple gave an
excuse Caleb found the Japanese and
asked for his hat and coat His
hostess came up.
“You’re not going? We’re going to

Caleb distinguished Carmen at the
piano, tier olive skin and rich coloring
resplendent in the glow, gay as a Cali-
fornia poppy In a daring gown of
hurqj orange, a red flower in her black
hair.
She saw him standing there and
called out a welcome across the room
“There is my toreador,” she csjed
and crashed into the first act prelude
from Carmen. Caleb felt himself the
focus of stares that were friendly
enough, but embarrassing. A light
laugh went round, though he sensed
that it was not at his expense, and
hands applauded. Mrs. Vedder saved
a stage wait by coming swiftly to
him.
“You see, you are known already,”
she said. “Now I must make them
known to you.”
She led him round the room, intro-
ducing him. Everyone seemed to be a
writer, a musician, an artist Vedder
greeted him at the punch table.
“Better fortify yourself while it
lasts,” be said. “This is an anniver-
sary, mine and Mrs. Vedder’s, and we
celebrate, but we are limited. Meet
Carquinez.”
A short man with an enormous
shock of straight black hair, a rough-
ly modeled face in which black eyes
twinkled genially, dark-skinned almost
as an Indian, shook hands with Caleb.
He spoke with a Spanish accent. To
Caleb he seemed to have stepped di-
rectly across from the Quartief Latin.
His wife was in absolute contrast.
She was an ashen blond, with great
masses of hair braided abov^ and
partly about an oval face that had a
perfect complexion, untouced by ap-
plied aid.
She looked like a madonna, Caleb
thought, until he noticed her eyea.
They were Oriental tn their piquant
slant and they were the color of Jade.
He mentally docketed her as a woman
of personality and unusual brains.
Carqulnes, It appeared, was an artist.
Caleb and his hostess wound up at
the piano. Brompton was with Car-
men. He had a stranded air, an ap-
pearance of having beep left there by
the tide of his own feelings, wishful to
stay but conscious that he cut a figure
out of pose, out of harmony. Carmen
flashed eyes and teeth at Caleb as
Mrs. Vedder fluttered away with a:
“And these, you know.”
“That wasn’t quite fair,” said Caleb.
“Your bringing me into a strange
company with an orchestral accom-
paniment. You mustn't expect me to
live up to the role of Escamlllo.”
“I don’t think you leave much to be
desired as a matador. In so far as I
have seen you in action."
“You forget the inspiration. Of such
a Carmen.”
"Why, you are a true caballero. I
thought you must be like all the New
Englanders. I never understood that
they possessed any gallantry. If you
keep that up all evening, you will do
very nicely," she said. And began to
fling very softly. Brompton was ig-
nored. Caleb felt sorry for him, so
evidently in love with the girl who
made a mock of him, but he saw no
way of altering matters. He stood by
the lamp and the girl sang up at him.
her face full in glow, her Ups shaping
the syllables of Carmen’s song wltch-
ingly.
Mais, si j« t'atma, prenes vous garda.
“It was the toreador whom Carmen
warned,” said Caleb.
“Perhaps he didn’t need it. Brom-
tny—get us some punch before it’s all
gone.”
Brompton departed obediently. Car-
men made room for Caleb beside her
on the piano bench.
“She hasn't come yet,’’ she said aa
Caleb looked about the room.
“She is expected, I understand,” he
countered coolly.
Carmen gave Mm a. queer little
•mile, of approbation perhaps—or of
challenge.
“Has she ever thanked you properly
for saving her from the bull? I haven’t.
But 1 intend to.”
B.-cuipton came beck with the punch
an3 they sipped at It, listening to the
talk.
But Caleb found his enjoyment
marred by a creeping doubt of Betty
Clinton’s appearance. Carmen per-
haps perceived it At any rate she
seemed to have definitely attached
Caleb as her cavalier.
“Come on up into the conservatory,"
she said. “The room is getting hot.
There ia a wonderful view of the
