RAPTURE BEYOND
by
KATHARINE NEWLIN BURT
SECOND INSTALMENT
Fresh from a French convent, Jocelyn Harlowe returns to New York to her socially-elect mother, a religious, ambitious woman. The girl is hurried into an engagement with the wealthy Felix Kent. Her father, Nick Sandal, surreptiously enters the girl's home one night. He tells her he used to call her Lynda Sandal. The girl is torn by her desire to see life in the raw and to become part of her mother's society. Her father studies her surroundings.
Now go on with the Story
"U-hum. I suppose so. Will you get his picture for me?"
"Felix Kents?"
"Sure thing. Your young man's."
She laughed. The whole experience began to be an astonishing adventure. This father had a way with him that opened a door in her heart. He was so casual, so hard, so vibrant. There had been nothing like him in her life. She hurried to her room to get the picture.
She was very quick, being really afraid that he might just vanishs forever if she left him. So, coming back light-footed she found him returning to his place from some swift furtive investigation of the room. She noticed this, but in her confused excitement it made on her at the time no particular impression. Later she was driven to remembering it.
Her father stood up to go, catching his cane, smothering a cry at the pain all sudden movements cost him.
"I mustn't see you again. But—here's my address." He pushed a folded scrap of paper into her hand and young people." Felix controlled a wincing motoon, "but without them how shall I ever learn unless you will teach me? Do you think I could take a business course, perhaps, after we are married?"
"You may take any course you like beloved. But you musn't hate your beautiful innocence. It is juts because you are so exquisitely different that I love you."
In her own room, she sat down on her bed and thought. After a while she pulled out a big leather vallse from her closet and rummaged there. She dressed herself in a pleated short plaid skirt, a black tight jersey, long-sleeved, high in the throat, a little jacket and in a big old tam-o-shanter.
Before she put this on her head she ran her fingers back and forth through her sleeked thick hair until it was the wild unruly mop of a follwog. She went to her mother's room and examined the likeness she had so achieved: a girl with a slim high-colored face, a firm rich mouth, a pair of tilted gleaming eyes; a girl with a swagger that was made charming by its lines of race and breeding.
"Oh, Lynda Sandal," said Jocelyn. "I am going to like you. Maybe it will be wonderful!"
There, in her little bedroom, its door locked, coiling a trunk rope around her arm she switched off her light and swung her leg across the window sill.
She drove to the address her father had given her. She got out paid the driver and climbed up the dirty steps of an old-fashioned brownstone building on a street which must once have been lined with sober dwellings. A Japanese boy answered her ring.
"Does a Mr. Sandal live here?"
girl and what's worse, you lady! Laugh that off if you She put her hand across "Huush! Not here! Here I Sandal."
At that Nick pulled down threw back his head and laid a great painful yelling of "You win. And I surprise Sandal, I hereby take you for better or for worse and show you all the reality venture I can decently sue this madness be the death Harlowe I do hereby prosecor and support Miss L to the best of my very poor order to seal our compact my sincerity," he stood up hand in a great gesture and voice. "Lynda, I want you of my friends."
At the changed timbre of the four card players turn "Boys. I want to present daughter, Miss Lynda Sandal Drury, Mr Saul Morrison and save Lowe. Jock Ayleward and my protector."
Jock rose and bowed. The sat where they were and shined hand with cordiality, grinning hard grins up in Jock Ayleward did not start at her once keenly and look "Don't stop playing. May game?
"We're quitting Miss long, Old Nick. See you hunting grounds, Ayleward They went, slipping into coats, slapping on their hair angles, smiling at Lynda probing looks.
After the men had finally leave Jocelyn questioned "What is the hunting ground?"
afraid that he might just vanishs forever if she left him. So, coming back light-footed she found him returning to his place from some swift furtive investigation of the room. She noticed this, but in her confused excitement it made on her at the time no particular impression. Later she was driven to remembering it.
Her father stood up to go, catching his cane, smothering a cry at the pain all sudden movements cost him.
"I mustn't see you again. But here's my address." He pushed a folded scrap of paper into her hand and bent her fingers over it. "I want you to have that for two reasons. If you ever need me you can send for me or come to me. But I advise you unless it's a very serious business, to forget me and my whereabouts. The other reason well, I won't bother you with that. May I kiss you?"
She lifted her face. She was in tears.
She followed him into the small back room, her own bedroom. It startled her to think that he had climbed in at her own little dark window. Now Sandal got himself painfully out across its still and Jocelyn watched him climb down the fire escape, swiftly and quietly in spite of his pain and his twisted body.
Jocelyn shut the window, went back to the lighted front room.
This was her father, she thought.
One day Felix offered to take her to her office.
"Oh Felix will you? I'd love to see your office. I've never been inside an American office. Will you show me everything? Will you explain everything?"
In Kent's innter sanctuary she was introduced to Miss Rebecca Deal, a little duddy sturdy woman with bright eyeglasses and a wide mouth.
Jocelyn was amused by this now agled to his feet.
"Boys, this is my daughter," he cried out sharply.
There was a strained silence in the room.
It was Jocelyn herself who broke the silence.
"Go on with your game, please," she said. "I came to talk to my father."
The men obeyed with alacrity. They returned to their cards and to their smoking ignoring Nick and his visitor. But one of them, with a wink and a twist of his whole face, got up and shut the door.
There in her little bedroom, its door locked, colling a trunk rope around her arm she switched off her light and swung her leg across the window sill.
She drove to the address her father had given her. She got out pald the driver and climbed up the dirty steps of an old-fashioned brownstone building on a street which must once have been lined with eber dwellings. A Japanese boy answered her ring.
"Does a Mr. Sandal live here?"
"Yes'm. Tree flight up."
Jocelyn paused before she took the last few steps of her ascent of the three flights of etairs.
Across the room Nick Sandal crouched on a battered sofa against the wall. He was twisted up palmfully among some attered cushions and smoked a pipe with deep eager eucking noise, cuddling its bowl in one of his swollen and distorted hands. His bright eyes watched a group of four men playing cards at a table.
She came rapidly up the last few steps and stood in the doorway.
Nick Sandal, brushing away the smoke of his pipe, made a queer gasping exclamation, then put up his hand as though to prevent an insult and strug-

Jocelyn shut the window, went back to the lighted front room.
This was her father, she thought.
One day Felix offered to take her to her office.
"Oh Felx will you? I'd love to see your office. I've never been inside an American office. Will you show me everything? Will you explain everything?"
In Kent's innter sanctuary she was introduced to Miss Rebecca Deal, a little duddy sturdy woman with bright eyeglasses and a wide mouth.
Jocelyn was amused by this new manifestation of womanhood. When Felx left to interview someone in the outer office she sat down in his revolving chair before his great neat handsome desk and looking at Miss Deal with all her eager eyes began to question her:
"You work her with him every day?"
"Half the time he's off, Miss Harlowe, in Chicago or the Southwest. He's interested as of course you know, in all these mines."
"It seems so queer to me," said Jocelyn with her slow wistful smile, "that althis side of hiss life just means nothing to me. How much better you know him that I do."
Rebecca blushed and laughed.
"I wish I were as clever as you are and had your experience. I would so love . . .
Here Felx entered and the girl came toward him, speaking earnestly. A new Jocelyn seemed to meet him at every turn he made.
"Felx can't I learn how to do these things for you? I mean, if Miss Deal could teach me, I'd love to work with you, to understand . . .
"You shall know whatever you want to know, sweetheart."
In the limousine, on their way to lunch Felx spoke tenderly;
"I do want you to be in my confidence but I never thought you'd be interested in this sort of thing."
But this sort of thing is just part of all I must know, Felx. I have been so put away and shut up like one of these unlucky princesses in towers. It is horrid to be a medieval infant in a world of grown-up moderns, it must know. I must learn. If I had friends here who could teach me,
"Boys, this is my daughter," he cried out sharply.
There was a strained silence in the room.
It was Jocelyn herself who broke the silence.
"Go on with your game, please," she said. "I came to talk to my father."
The men obeyed with alacrity. They returned to their cards and to their smoking ignoring Nick and his visitor. But one of them, with a wink and a twist of his whole face, got up and shut the door.
Jocelyn sat down beside the cripple on his battered lounge and put her hand uncertainly upon his free one.
"I wanted to see you. Father. I got out the way you showed me. Mother doesn't know I'm here.
Nothing wrong them?"
No. I felt that I must see you. There's something in me that belongs to you. And I am really very lonely."
Lonely? With a finance and a mother and a crowd of friends?
Felx is still a stranger. I have no friends."
Nick put an arm roughly about her.
"All right, Lynda. I'll be your friend. I don't mind loving you. I'm not the most creditable parent in the world. And I don't want to get you into trouble with your future husband and with the reputable side of the house."
"I'll never let them know."
"I say, Lynda, take it easy. Let's talk it over sort of quietly. That's better," as she let her body relay against the seat. "I'll tell you frankly. I have no feeling of obligation toward your mother or your young man. I like you. I like your running off by way of the fire escape to visit me. It's the way I began, running away nights by a back window. But I don't want to hurt your life or spoil your chances any. What do you want?"
"I want," said Jocelyn speaking low and rapidly, "I want to know what life looks like when it—comes round from behind and you can see its face. I want to know people, all kinds of people, different sorts of people. I want to know how good it is to be bad, and hod bad it may be to be good. I want adventure, risks, dangers; I want—"
"You want too much. You're only a sealed proposal will be reed City Council of the City at the office of the City City up to 8 o'clock P.M., day January 12, 1982, for fibre conduit and chlorine as follows:

THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAN
John 1: 1-18
By RBY. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D.
Another five-year cycle of study begins with this lesson. During 1932 we have three months with the Life of Testament character, who is styled the Forerunner of the Messiah.
Sublime activities are attributed to this Son of God. He had His major part in creation during the long ago. The purpose of His earthly ministry was to provide a way of salvation for sinful man: "But as many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become children of God." John 1:12.

International Sunday School Lesson
FOR JANUARY 8
THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAN
John 1:1-18
By REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D.
Another five-year cycle of study begins with this lesson. During 1932 we have three months with the Life of Christ, based on John's Gospel, six months with Genesis and the Era of Moses, and a closing quarter on "Christian Standards of Life. Especially helpful volumes for the year are "Peloubet's Select Notes," Tarbell's "Teachers Guide," and Snowden's "Sunday School Lessons." Vest pocket compendiums are "Glist of the Lesson," Wells, and "Points for Emphasis." More.
You will wish to read the complete record as found in the four gospels. A "Harmony of the Gospels" is especially useful throughout the course. Matthew and Luke give the details that are related to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. But John goes still further back in time when he says "In the beginning wa sthe World." Here is a direct reference to the eternal existence of the Second Person in the Trinity, the Son-Christ (Messiah).
John is then in produced. This is the son of Zacharias and Ellisabeth. He is known as John the Baptist and is not to be confused with John the beloved disciple who wrote the Gospel we are now studying. In Luke 1 you will find fascinating details that are related to th ebirth of this really Old Testament character, who is styled the Forerunner of the Messiah.
Sublime activities are attributed to this Son of God. He had His major part in creation during the long ago. The purpose of His earthly ministry was to provide a way of salvation for sinful man: "But as many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become children of God." John 1:12.
BLUE TAIL LIGHTS ON POLICE CAR
The State Department of Motor Vehicles has designated blue as the distinctive color to be used for lights other than red lights placed on the rear of motor vehicles operated by police and traffic officers.
This in accordance with a new section of the motor act which requires the department to designate the color of rear lights to be used on such vehicles.
The principal purpose of the distinctive rear light is to permit quick and easy identification of police vehicles thereby eliminating confusion.
Several cases have been reported to officials of the California Highway Patrol in which police officers chasing law violators were overtaken and halted by other officers because there were no means of identifying the car from the rear as a police car. It is thought that the new arrangement will avoid such confusion.
Tire makers have cut the prices of their product from 10 to 19 per cent. In other words, tires are still being deflated.

Constipation may very easily become chronic after forty. And any continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor should know what is best for them.

Tested by 47 years' practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all ages. It has proven perfectly safe even for babies.
