^«lroint to Dropping of Heresy
Trial of Dr. Lee W.

lly Associated Pr«#.
New York, Dee. 19.—Those close to
the fundamental faction in the Pro
testant Episcopal church were inclined
today to view the current issue with
tho modernists as being on the poirt
of passing from nubile view. But
others who claim the confidence of
the modernists said the issue would be
continually pressed until it comes be
fore the next general convention of
the church at New Orleans.
In the other churches concerned,
chiefly the Preshyteriap and Baptist,
the issue now is not being so forclbiv
fought and observers anticipated only
the continual development of the op
posing sides. The Presbyterian con
troversy is expected to growr Ui
force until it reaches the general con
vention next spring.
Bandit Ramili Poisoned.
London, Dec. 19.—Another report of
the death of Mulai Ahmed Kaisuli, the
notorious brigand chief of Morocco,
reached London today from the Tan
glers correspondent of the Daily Mail.
There is a suspicion, says the Tele
gram, that Rnisull was poisoned.

mill he lease* her at the home of Mr*.
Morrison, a friend, while he is away on
a trip to Chicago. •
(Continued from Yesterday.)
Prepared as her eheeks may have
been, Stella was taken by surprise
when somebody leaned across the lit
tle table which Rhe had selected ba
side the wall-mirrors and drawled In
a masculine voice, "Weill”
She knew It was Alfred Munn be
fore she looked up. Nobody else In
the world could say “Well,” like that.
All sorts of Interesting Implications
were packed into the single exclama
tion.
She glanced up and replied briefly,
her blue eyes sparkling at him.
“Hello.’"
She didn’t like Ed Munn. Stephen
had been right. He was cheap. It
showed now that he wasn't dressed
in his riding clothes any more. But
even if she didn’t like him very much,
she couldn't be horrid to him. Stella
Dallas couldn't be horrid to anybody
whose eyes flattered her like that!
“What are you doing here?’’ he
asked in a kind of caressing tone,
as irresistible to the lonely Stellu as
food by whomever offered if she
were hungry.
"I'm waiting for you!” her voice
caressed hack at him. Oh, a little
harmless flirting was the one thing
she needed to restore her wilted
spirits!
Alfred Munn smiled at her, show
ing a row of little crooked yellow
teeth. His face craackled up into a
hundred pleased wrinkles. Attention
from the opposite sex was as wel
come to him as it was to Stella.
He. drew out the chair opposite
Stella, thinking, as he did so, “What
have I got on for this afternoon any
how? Only two appointments; I can
cancel 'em.” What he said was, as
he sat down. "Where's the off
spring?”
Stella thought, "Dear hie! How
thrilling! He's going to stay!” But
out loud she said, "Just shipped her
to New York.”
“You alone?" Alfred Munn ex
claime.d "Unattached? No string tied
to you?"
Stella, pouting a little, looking pa
thetic on purpose, nodded. "All alone
No string. Not a .thread.”
Alfred Munn drew In a deep breath.
Let It out audibly.
"My! This is my lucky day, I
guess," he ejaculated. "We're going
to have lunch together—you and I,
and go to a show afterwards. Did
you know it?”
Stella, casting down her eyes, and
toying with the silver, shook her
head. No. She didn't know it.
"Well," masterfully, "you know it
now. Here, pass me that menu."
She obeyed with exaggerated docil
ity. "Have your ,own way. I'm help
less when you're around. Do with
me as you wish," her manner im
plied.
It pleased Alfred Munn. He sum
moned a waiter with an arrogant
motion of his hand, tossed the menu
aside, as wholly beneath his notice,
and frownlngly ordered cocktails—
this was before prohibition—oysters
and soup. Then he leaned across the
table and suddenly became all soft
sauvlty. The contrast was effective.
"How’ve you been?” he asked.
“Oh, pretty well," Stella purred.
Any one could make Stella purr who
stroked her like that.
"How are things going." h« in
quired in his terribly intimate man
ner.
“Ob, pretty well, I guess." she
purred again, and glanced up, her
big Delft-blue eyes gazing straight
into Alfred Munn'* little pig-like
spots of, brightness, rimmed round
with the puffy lids.
‘‘I don't care," Stella thought ‘to
herself in defense of the things she
was allowing her bold eyes to imply
to Alfred Munn. "It's only for to
day, and I'm perfectly uware( of
what he is—-dissipated, rotten old
thing, probably. Doesn't hurt me any
if he is. I’m beyond hurting now.
He's better than nobody."
Stella had almost forgotten what a
cocktail tusted like. How it did bring
back the good old happy days, when
everyliody admired und flattered, just
as Alfred Munn was doing now. For
he was doing just that to Stella—
overdoing it a little. Well, she could
stand a little overdoing in that line.
It had been so long since any man
iiad found her attractive! Or. at
least, since any man had told her
so. She had begun to fear that age
had got a grip on her at last which
she couldn't loosen, however much
she strained. Men hated old women.
Alfred Munn restored her self confi
dence wonderfully. He found her
pleasing. He found her desirable. He
told her the very sight of her made
him feel young again. Asked her
how in the world she did it. How
she managed to keep her wonderful
peaches-and-cream appearance. She
didn’t look to him a day over 25!
"Oh," thouglit Stella, feeling all
warm and comforted inside, "if only
ho could see me in an evening gown!"
As she preceded him out of the
restaurant she was as pleased with
the present-moment excitement, the
present-moment attentions, as a
young girl of 16 on the way to her
first matinee with an admtving suit
or. Her pleasure was almost as inno
cent, too.
O
Alfretj Munn selected for the after
noon's entertainment a popular mu
sical farce. Stella adored a musical
farce with ail the bold gay costumes
The seats he bought were aisle seats
—the liost in the house, three rows
from the front. As Stella settled her
self for the two hours and a half
of pleasure in store for her, she was
keenly conscious of her nearness to
the stage, to the orchestra. How good
it did seem to the be right down In
the midst of things again! When
the curtain rolled up on the first act
amidst the loud fanfare of triumpets,
which Stella could feel tingle inside
her, she was filled witjt gratitude
to Alfred Munn. Why, she calculated,
already his kindness to her had cost
him something like $15—$20 possibly.
How much were cocktails and wines
now, anyhow, and Porterhouse steaks?
She mustn’t be disappointing to him.
She mustn't edge away from Alfred
Munn's overlapping arm and shoulder.
She must remember her age. Nine
teen Can afford to be as stand offish
as it chooses, but not 39. Besides, in
one way It was gratifying to Stella
that Alfred Munn wanted to sit so
close. She Iiad been afraid of late
that there was nothing but tiny
wrinkles and double chins left of her.
But there was—there was! Alfred
Munn knew women. Alfred Munn
made Stella feel that there was lots
else left.
She talked and laughed, eyes shin
ning, and cheeks hot and flushed
beneath the powder. Occasionally
laurel's serious face, crowned with
the unfamiliar toque with the berries
on one side, interrupted, shoved itself
between her and the stage, between hr
and Alfred Munn.
The toque made her look frightful
ly like a young lady. She was grow
ing up. No doubt about that. Stella
hadn't seen her cry since—she
couldn't remember since when Funny
kid. Just got silent and horribly
quiet Instead of letting the tear* of
a year or two ago well up In her
eyes and spill over. • Of late she,
Stella, was the one who did the cry
ing for the two of them. Rut she
mustn't get teai-y. here, now, for
heaven's sake! ,
Laurel would be about at New
I^ondon now, Stella calculated, N'dw
Haven, Bridgeport later, New York
pretty soon, walking up the long
granolithic walk, with the bits of
mica in it, sparkling like tiny stars
beneath the white artlfical light;
looking for Stephen; seeing him; greet
ing him; sitting in a taxicab beside
him. They always- took a taxicab.
Queer, thought Stella, how the very
sight of her present eRcort used to
irritate Stephen. It wfluld be in
teresting to Alfred Munn, she guessed,
and flattering to him, too, If he had a
notion how much he used to be dis
cussed between Stephen and herself.
Stephen was always making such
queer mistakes aliout her little affairs,
picking out somebody she really didn't
care a straw about, like Alfred Munn.
for instance, to get stuffy over, and
remaining undisturbed by the atten
tions from men*who really Interested
her. Alfred Munn, Indeed! A riding
teacher! That was what he had been,
In Milhampton seven years ago. The
smartest women in town took lessons
of him. So did Stella. And the
smartest women in town were keen
about him. or pretended to be Na
turally they weren’t any of them
seriously keen about Alfred Munn
The other women's husbands under
stood. But Stephen wouldn't. It was
ridiculous, absurd. Stella told Stephen
so dozens and dozens of times. But
he would persist in making a moun
tain out of a molehill.
That was how Mrs. Holland de
scribed Stephen's attitude. There was
no woman In Milhampton more the
fashion than Mrs. Holland at that
tim-e. Stella had been immensly pleas
ed by her friendship. Every word she
uttered was to Stella like the wlsdonj
of an oracle.
“Husbands need a lot of training,
my dear,” she had told Stella after a
burst of confidence from Stella one
afternoon. “Don't let yourself become
a doormat. Husbands don't respect
doormats, in the loung run. Teach
him that you can look at another
man without wanting to elope with
him. And get him used to the Idea
that you aren't blind to every other
masculine creature in the world but
himself. Such an attitude keeps
them lovers, makes them alert, at
tentive, my dear."
But it didn’t seem to keep Ste
phen a lover. It didn't make Stephen
alert and attentive. It worked just
the other way with him.
3
These reflections did not possess
Stella In the theater. It was later,
alone on the train, returning to her
beach hotel that she glanced Into her
past. She didn't allow herself to do
so frequently. It didn't make her
any happier. Things had been so
rosy, so promising 10 years ago—so
far beyond her most extravagant
girlhood dreams. And now—now!
Resolutely she turned her thoughts to
other things. She was to meet Alfred
Munn again the following Saturday
for lunch and another matinee. 'Vyhat
should she wear? The sudden nece
sitv of a new early-fall hat gave her
a ilttle thrill of delight.
There was nothing In the world
Stella enjoyed more than a morning
spent in Boston at the expensive up
town shops, pricing and trying on
hats, followed by an afternoon in
the downtown department stores buy
ing -buckram, wire, velvet, feathers,
ornaments, flowers and what not, and
the long inspiring day afterwards shut
up in her room moulding with her
clever fingers, a copy of soms little
eem that far-away artist In Paris had.
conceived.
When Stella said goodbye to
Laurel, her plan to spend two hours
In the shops had not been an exclt
Ing prospect to her. It was stupid
to shop if you had nothing you had
to buy. The chance meeting with
Alfred Munn provided Stella with the
necessary incentive to start the ma
chlnery of her creative genius going.
She would have to have a new dress,
too. Perhaps Rhe could pick up gome
summer silk thing marked down, and
pep it up with some black
