when the church was organized in
Jerusalem when the new Christian
church had everything in common,
and those which had plenty shared
with those who did not have any too
much. The worship hour, the young
people's meetings and the session of
the Bible school were fitted in nicely
with the social hours and the dinner
hour. To add to the pleasure of the
occasion the gathering was held at

Delia, end Jim and Elsa make
the rounds of New York's thea
tres and night spots together.
Jim enlists Elsa's manager in

they urge Elsa to cancel her
Paris engagement and sail for
Buenos Aires on the same boat
that Jim i-i taking. Jim asks
her to take dinner at his apart
ment and he'll give her a pre
viewy of the pampas. As she
comes to the door of Jim's apart
ment Elsa, who has fallen in
love with Jim, hears him plan
ning to '"kidnap" her and put her
on the boat for Buenos Aires.
Convinced, that Jim loves her,
Elsa 7cnocks on the door of
Jim's apartment.

tired as a gaucho, came to the door
and added his greetings. From the
next room there came the sort
strains of guitars. Jim led Elsa to
the dining room and opened the
doors. Elsa gasped.
The floor was covered with grass

"Always there is music always

Elsa's eyes twinkled. "Doesn't
that get monotonous?" she In
quired. Jim shrugged. "You can always
turn it off," he said. He touched
the light switch and the moon blink

Elsa shook her head in mock
wonderment. "An amazing coun-,

After dinner Jim urged her to
make a decision about the trip.
Elsa, In a teasing mood, kept post

night," she explained.
Elsa wandered into the living
room and saw a large revolving
globe of the world. Her eyes twink
led mlchievously as she turned to
Jim. "Look," she said, pointing to
the man. Here's Paris and here's
Buenos Aires. Ill close my eyes,
you spin the globe and I'll put my
finger on a spot. Whichever place
the spot is nearest, well go."
Jim hesitated a moment and then
agreed. Elfia shut her eyes that

Jim spun the globe. As she reached
out with her right hand Jim saw
that it was heading for France.
Furtively, he accelerated the globe

pointed with her left hand and
opened her eyes.

"Speak for yourself,' Jim said.
"I must go to Buenos Aires. At lcat
we can hav dinner together to
morrow night alone and thca
I'll take you to the boat."
Elea smiled. "All right, Jim," sh
said tenderly.
They had dinner the next niht
at Lepino's. Elsa pretended to b
come giddy with the wine. "You ra
a bad boy," she chided tipsily. '"We
shouldn't have waited until the last
minute like this. Madella will be
frantic."
Jim smiled indulgently. Hi3 plan
was working perfectly. "You've got
plenty of time," he reassured her.
When he had placed Elsa in tha
taxicab for the pier he quietly in
structed the driver to go to the 'Or
cinco's' berth. En route Jim gava
Elea a pair of dark glasses. "Wear
these," he told her. "They'll help
you duck the reporters and th
photographers."
"Oh, Jim, you think of every
thing," Elsa said, taking the glasses
and putting them on. "Oh! I can't
see a thing."
Jim smiled. "You just hold onto
me. You'll be all right."
Jim hurried Elea up the sans
plank and into her cabin and they
were joined almost immediately by,
Pancho and Margot. Pancho had
done his job well and Margot vna
