Res Paten) Ofice Sir Hargrave Wendever, country zentl broker. - Siz Hargrave they would N\u-ud the i doctor has given him |"m,w (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) INSTALLMENT NI Hargrave Takes the Blow Standing. RAVE admitted that advice was good. “I may step out a little, but I dor’t think I shall lose my head,” he said. “Get on with it. Remember that I am a very wealthy man. wealthier even than any one of my friends {magines.” “Notwithstanding that,” Gorse sald, I certainly shouldn't suggest for an instant that you try to make a bar- gain with the Almighty by giving huge sums to charity, or anything of that sort “But what about our own poor?” All well taken care of. No one | edee }in the secret plac when men." it comes we were . . . Wendever began the next day with- out any of that sense of boredom which had at times depressed him. Subconsciously he knew that some- thing fresh and tragic had taken its place in his life, but with that knowl- was born also the stern inten- tion to keep the memory of it back to live through Lout brooding or profitless regrets. arer the surface he wa aware of 4 new Interest, n new search to conduct, He noticed with satisfac- tion that Andrews, who when in town combined the duties of lutler und valet, was looking a little ti “You're not quite yourself today. Andrews,” he remarked as, after his bath and leisurely tofle: were com- pleted, he sat down to his breakfast. “I've been keeping you up too late, I'm atraid.” Andrews neégatived the suggestion emphatically but respectfully. ‘Not at all, Sir Hargrave,” the man replied. “The fact is, the wife has come into a little bit of money lately— an uncle of hers who kept a public house—and we had a sort of celebra- tion—after you'd gone to bed, of s days course, sir—a little party round in the “YOU'RE NOT QUITE YOURSELF TODAY, experience could say charitable e, Why, 1 nearly every day from all people. and the offertories, th 1ss of my congrega- enormous. done a great work, Philip,” ave acknowledged sympatheti- “You've done what so few of us accomplish—you've done a great work for It makes one thoughtful, you know, to thini of the difference hetween your life and mine. I haven't any unwholesome craving 0 make a bargain with the Almighty, but I should like to feel I had done that was worth while— ziven some poor devils a lift, or some- thing of that sort, before I passed in my checks I were in your position, Har- grave,” Gorse advised gently, “I don't believe I'd worry so much about the poor. The hospitals need help, of course, but the very poor have never been so well cared for as today, and I'm afraid, as a prictical Christian, 1 must admit that those who remain down and out do o more from lack of character than absence of help. If I were you, 1 should try the other class. It is more difficult, of course, because they are more sensitive, but I've come to the conclusion that since the war there’s more real suffering among what are called the ‘lower middles,” the shopgirls and shopmen, clerks and people like that, who have a certain position to keep up, than the very poor. They can't accept charity, and Who is there to help them?” “But how do you come across them?” Hargrave demanded. “A matter of chance, I suppose,” Gorse admitted. “I have had one or two cases among those who came to ask my advice in the vestry. I have no one on my list just now, thank xoodne: You'll find some one, if vou'll keep your eyes open. And there's another thing, Hargrave, keep- ing your eyes open in such a quest is in itself a good thing. It keeps a man from becoming selfish and self-cen- tered. Go about for the next few days or weeks looking_for some one who seems unhappy. if you don't happen to find any one with whom you can et in touch, the very attitude of mind takes your thoughts off your own trou- bles and does vou good. “It's all very well for you,” Har- grave pointed out. “You've brought yourself into such sympathy with your fellow creatures that you can tell in- stifictively when they need help, and you'd approach them also in such a way that no one could possibly resent n question from vou. I couldn’t go up to an anemic-looking young woman, with a hole in her shoe and a shabby frock, and take off my hat and say, “Madam, I fear you are in distres Can I be of any assistance? She'd probably hand over to the nearest po- Jiceman, if she was honest, or try to mnarch down to Pimlico if she wasn't “Hargrave, old chop.” Philip sald, “I am glad we've had this talk. I'm Dot going to believe the worst part of t, and 1 wouldn't let my thoughts dwell upon it myself, if I were you. You can send me a moderate sized check for my shelter scheme, If you like—not more than a hundred pounds but keep your eyes open for the other things, and something will come along. Perhaps you'd better leave the voung ladies alone, but sometimes one comes across really human troubje in the most unespe And ten,” he went on earnestly, “it isn't \lways pounds, shillings and pence that counts. It’s the grayness of life that's horrible to some of these people who have a little imagination and slender means. There'’s nothin about me, you of nsiderir tion, are Har cally of the now. I belleve in pleasure, and 1 Lelieve people have a tto it. You can do just as 1 1 in the world by bringing a 1 brightness into the lives of people who can’t find it for themselves as you can ipporting soup kitchens “or any form of charity here’s real human charity, for instance, in cincma tickets for the Young people who have o give up ir earnings to keep ing--one can always pre- complimentary—or the car for the day to a man who would give anything to take his wife and family into the country and can’t. These little things will come vour way if you keep on looking out for them Hargrave smiled a little ruefully as he walked down the hall and lingered by the lift with his guest. “You've the gift of finding these people, Philip,” he remarked. “Easily developed.” the other as- sured him cheerfully. ‘“You often don’t need to_give to complete stran- wers either. Just keep your eyes open imong the people you meet casually in one day and see for yourself who there is missing the sunlight.” The lift came noiselessly up. Al- most for the first time there was a note of real seriousness in Gorse's tone as he clasped hands with his friend. “Don't brood about that other mat. ter, old (enov:(." he bebzg:g!.vn;h uy:‘y; be right or jt may 3 and I can’t alter it. _Get off somewhere .nd enjoy yourself—Monte Carlo, I -hould say.

I hope that won't mean that you're not coming down south with me?" ‘Not at all, 8ir Hargrave,” the man assured hin. “We are, I am thankful to say, in easy circumstances, but we murmured, his know a good place when we have it.” | Hargrave finished his breakfast and presently strolled out toward his coif- feur. On the way he called at his gun- maker’s. A superior but despondent- looking young man came forward and received his complaint about some 100 lightly loaded cartridges. “Very sorry, sir,” ‘Il see it doesn’t happen again. “Business seems a little quiet with you,” Hargrave remarked, glancing around “It's just a trifle early, * the voung man explained. “'AS a matter of fact, we've never had a better sea- son.” “Mr. Martin keeping well ' Har- grave inquired, referring to the prin- | cipal of the firm. Mr. Martin came hurriedly forward to answer the inquiry for himself. Very well, indeed, thank you, Sir Hargrave,” he announced, “very well., | but a bit worried.” (Copyright, 1925, by E.

Continuing the custom which has been maintained since broadcasting was inaugurated several years ago, Station WJZ will greet the New Year with the chimes from historic Trinity Church, Broadway, at the head of Wall street, New York City. The ceremonies will begin at 11:45 New Year Eve with the annual watch night service, which has bhecome a sacred event in the lives of the hard- ened New Yorker. Admission to the church for this service is by card and thousands flock yearly to old Trinity, and being unable to gain admission, crowd the churchyard and overflow into Broadway and adjacent streets to see the old year out and the new year in. Even more have attended this service in the last five years by radio and little is lost by them. The music and the choir, the sermon by Dr. Caleb R. Stetson, the rector of Trinity, and even the chimes up in the belfry are received by the radio au- dience as clearly as though they were in the church itself. he apologized. | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, HIGH TICHTS OF HISTORY Registered U. §.
