It was Mar tin who untied the checked brown apron, disentangling from the strings the silky gold tendrils that were blow ing over Cherry's white neck, and Martin who opened the door for her sugary fingers,. and Martin who watched the flying little flgurhe (Ot of sight with a prolonged "Whew-w-w!" of utter astonishment. The child was a beauty. Her eighteenth birthday! Martin had been shown her birthday gifts; books and a silver belt buckle and a gold pen and stationery and handker chiefs. A. day or two later she had had another gift; had opened the tiny Shreove box with a sudden hammering at her heart, with a presage of delight. She had found a slver-topped candy jar, and the card of Mr. John Martig Lloyds and under the name, In tiny letters, the words "Oh., fudge!" The girls laughed ovef this nonsense ap preclatively, but there was more than laughter In Cherry's heart. From that moment the world was changed. Her father, per sister, her cousin had second place, now. Cherry had put out her innocent little hand, and had opened the gate, and had passed through it into the world. That hour was the beginning, and It had led her surely, steadily, to the other hour tonight when she had been kissed, and had kissed in return. "So-we walk home with young mena mused the doctor, smiling. "Look here, girls, this little MItN Mat fet will be cutting you both oQt with that young man, if you're not care ful!" Alix, deep in her story, did not hear him, but Anne smiled faintly, and faintly frowned as she shook hae head. She considered Cherry sui ciently precocious without Uncle Lee's IWl-considered tolerane. HIe would hate bad them always children, this tender, simple, innocent Dr. Strickland. He was in many ways a child himself. He had never made money in his profession; he anad his wife and the two tiny girls had had a hard enough struggle sometimes.

But Cherry felt that :he was floating in seas of new joy and utter in delight, and that she would never be s; sleepy again. a Downstairs Anne and the doctor sat !r- staidly on, the man dreaming with a id knotted forehead, the girl sewing. oy Presently she ran a needle through sg her fine white work with seven tiny at stitches, folded it, and put'her thimble ly into a case that hung from her order i4 ly workbag with a long ribbon.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Paul's Courageous Testimony Before a a King. It- 1. Paul Before Festus (25:1-12). S As soon as Festus, the new gov ernor, Toes to Jerusalem, he is be Sslieged with accusers against Paul, W and they desire that he be brought to Ib Jerusalem for trial, intending to lie in, wait and kill him on the way. SFesatus refused their request, but $t agreed to give them an opportunity to it accuse Paul if they would go down i to Caesarea. They go, but are unable to prove anything against him. Fes , tus, willing to please the Jews. pro poses to send him to Jerusalem for li- trial. For this Paul assues a rebuke M to Festus by asserting thlt he very . well knew that he was innocent. See , ilag that it was impossible to get jus ' tice before Festcs. Paul makes use of his right as a Roman cltisen, and appeals to Caesar. Paul well knew that to go to Jerusalem meant death, and since Festus was too much of a timeerver to release him when he knew that be was innocent, he makes use of the radical step of appealing to Rome as the last resort. Festus seems to have been taken by surprise. SHEIs failure to release an Innocent man had placed him in an awkward Sposition, for he could give no explaa atlon as to why an innocent man should go to Rome for trial. For a mnn to appear before Caesar would east reflection upon Festus. He now ceasulted his council as to what to e do, but since the Roman law gave every man the right of appeal to the Semperor, there was nothing left for a him to do but to grant his request. II.
