Your committe on resolutions created at the last regular meet- Ing of the board, to draw up suitable resolutions in connection with the death of our late brother and corworker on this board, beg to submit the following: In the death of Chas. Steely, we feel that the board has suffered a distinct loss in its membership as has the church, the business interest of Corsicana, the social and moral Hie of the city. Brother Steely was a man of sterling worth, of excellent character, strong personality, and numbered his friends by the hundreds. He was kind, considerate a husband and father and a loyal worker in the advancement of the Kingdom of God. His responsibilities were heavy, his burdens, great, but through all his trials, he held his head up and always met them like a man.

He loved humanity, his fellow man and above all his church and his God. As a Christian gentleman, who has worked faithfully in every task given him, we have no fear as to his final resting place. We know the life lived by him was such that he shall share in the heaven that was prepared for Christians by our Lord and Saviour. COMMITTEE.

ELECTRIC COMPANY SYNOPSIS 1 Harriet Noel rejects Latour's proposal because of her theatrical career, Then Tony flees with tho money from an amateur play in Orchard Will. After her father dies, Harriet aocs to Now York to become an actress, there meeting Tony, already on the stage. Circumstances bill them together, but quarrels with Harriet upon learning of her enslavement to their inanaacr, Roy Donovan, and returns to Orchard Hill.

Later Donovan deserts hts Harriet, and their four-year-old son, taking his stepson, Jlrucc. When hopefully visits Cleveland to see Harriet in a play with her son, ho sees that her olrl fire as an actress has been submerged in love for talented little Pierre. Without his love, Tony returns home. Chapter 8 PIERRE'S INHERITANCE I was Just such a day In late spring as that day, when tho boy making his barefoot way across the pasture toward his home discovered the girl in that nook behind willows at the foot of the hill. From the trees along the banks of Cherry Creek red-shouldered blackbirds were calling to their mates that evening was near.

The rustled with twittering, chirping tenants. Antonio, coming slowly along the little path from his lonely old house the hill, stood as motionless as If he had been turned to stone. Har- "Yes, indeed, I am very fond of violets," Antonio replied heartily, with a quick glance at Harriet, wuo was watching them with an expression on her" face not unlike the look In the eyes of her son. "I'll find some more for you!" cried Pierre, and ran away to search in the tall grass. Then Harriet told Antonio that she had left the stage forever, and had come back to Orchard Hill to live so that her son might grow up In the wholesome life of the country.

"I want my boy to have the happiness that you and I had in our childhood, Tony," she said passionately. "I want Ills boyhood to be filled with the woods and fields. him to have memories of a beautiful happy boyhood. He must not in his manhood have only bitter memories. He must forget some things with which lie has been too familiar.

If I continue on the stage he will not forget. My her voice faltered, then a brave smile shone through the tears which filled her career now, Tony, is Pierre. And most of all, Tony," she added softly, "I want my Pierre to have you." As Harriet finished, her son turned with a small handful of violets. He offered the flowers to Antonio. "I picked them for there are lots more." And again the HARRIET NOEl riet was sitting on that rock in their theater while little Pierre, with exclamations of happy wonder, was picking wild flowers and running with each new blossom to his mother.

The boy was so intent upon liis discoveries and tho mother so absorbed in her son that neither had heard Antonio's approach. At last he went almost if he feared the scene might vanish. She rose to him and smiled at the bewildered expression of his face. Doubting, joyous, questioning, he cried, "Harriet!" "I thought perhaps Pierre and 1 would find you here," she said, gently freeing her hands from his. "We arrived early this afternoon." Pierre came running to her with a flower.

"Look, mother! Here Is another kind. Tell me the name of this one, mother." "It la a violet, dear," she answered. Then to Antonio: "Cau you realize, Tony, that my little Pierre has never before seen a wild flower?" But with a quick burst ot feel- Ing, she added, "I want him to know everything that you and I knew when we were children, everything." "Everything, Harriet?" She did not reply to this but said to the boy: "Pierre, this Is mother's old, old friend, Mr. Antoijio Latour. Do you remember, dear, how I told you that Mr.

Latour and mother were children together here in Orchard Hill, and about all the things we used to do when he was a boy like you, and I was a little girl?" "Yes," said Pierre remember." With the characteristic poise of a child of the stage he offered his hand. "How do you do, Mr. Latour? I remember meeting you when we played Cleveland last winter. You came back stage to see us." He turned to his mother and, taking the flower from her hand, ottered it to Antonio. "This is violet.

Are you fond ot violets, Mrf- Latour?" As he asked the question his grave thoughtful and guarded for his still searching Antonio's face. 'ooy's gaze was fixed gravely upon the man's face. Harriet rose hastily and went a littlo apart from them as If she, too, would gather flowers. For a long moment Pierre looked, after his mother, then he turned back impulsively to Antonio as if he had come to an important decision. "I like you," lie said with a smile so like his mother's that the man's heart leaped.

"Do you like me?" "I love you, Pierre," Antonio answered gently. The boy nodded as If they had reached a satisfactory understanding. Then with the air of merely stating a well-known fact, ha said, "You probably are aware that I have no father." "Yes," said Antonio, "I know." "Yes, you see, father ran away and so I had to take care of mother. I wish you were my father. I wonder why you weren't? You wouldn't run away from us, would you? I think I'll Just take you for my father.

I'm quite sure mother wouldn't mind, If you don't. You love mother, too, don't you? I know- she loves you. So you and I must love each other a lot. We will, won't we? I shall call you Father Tony, if that arrangement would be satisfactory to you." Of coarse Orchard Hill believed the worst possible things of this man and woman upon whose youth they had frowned with such suspicion. They "remarked this, and guessed that and suggested the other as the relationship of Harriet and Tony In New York.

They wondered It she had really married Donovan, and, If she had, why dirt she.still call herself Harriet Noel? They wondered If Pierre really was Donovan's child, and why did the boy call Antonio "father." Jn short, they delighted to infect the wounds which Harriet had received, rather than heal them with kindly charity. It was only natural that this attitude of the villagers should drive Harriet and Antonio closer Each In the other found a refuge. (CeffritU. 1930, by D. Attltlon and Co.) Troubles corns home to roost.

But why tomorrow does a new worry send Harriet to Tony?
