"Look 'ere," ‘reniarked, be starter. When I say 'three,' off yer go like giddy -ho," Without a word the duettists rosie from the piano and returned to their seats, their heads held high. Bindle looked: _at them in wonderment. A silence had fallen over the whole room. err, Sopley looked at the culprit with au agonized expression, or as Bindle afterwards expressed it, "like a calf wt's lost it' e mother and found a nny-goat, an' wondees wot he'll do at tea -time." After a -whispered conversatien be- tween Millie and Mr. Hearty, they both bore -down upon Mr. Flinders, a small man seated next to a. Very large wife, and *began an animated cotiver- sation with him in undertones Mr. Hearty wits genial, M511ie pleading, and Mr. Flinders protesthig and shr- ieking. Mrs. Minders eventually ter- minated the 'discussion by giving his arra an upward push,„ accompanied by a whispered, "Yes, George, do," where- at George did. Hel walked towards the piano, looking back at his wife and protesting all the yvlsile. Bindle stairtei clapeisig loudly,which still further embarrassed the victim. After much preparation and search- ing for music, Millie played the op- ening chords of "Queen of the Earth" peering anxiously- forward at the =Sic, praying that she shoidd make no- mistake. Mr. Flinders was an ex- cellent grocer,: but a bad singer. His voice was weak and erratic. Each time he reached the chorus, in which everybody jeined in various keys, Bin- dle no key at all, it was as if a drownhag man were making a last despairing effort to reach the shore. At the cencha.sion of the song things seemed to sink back again into the slough from which Mr. Flinders had valiautlsr rescued thein. Unconsciously Mr. Hearty was de- feating his object, and infecting his guests with his own. nervousness. Every time he moved across the room he was followed by the eyes of the whole assembly. It seemed that one thing was capable of happening at a time. When. Millie brought in her Fenian kitten "Tibbinsif every- one became absorbed in it.

' "Do ser live in the jungle, sir?" enquired Bindle of Mr. Winch. "Well, I live in the interior, miles away from any other. white men," re- plied Mr. Winch. "Why do you ask?" Bindle was thoughtful for a mom- ent. "Did yer 'appen ter take double bed with yer, sir? e guired Bindle. "A double bed?" r. Winch looked surprised. "Why, ne." Mr. Hearty coughed, Mr. Sopley lifted his eyes to the ceiling as if seeking explanation from heave. Mrs. Hearty wheezed, and Mrs. Bindle's lips entirely disappered. Bindle look- ed round at the embarrased faces. "I only knew one missionary," he 11/larked, "an' wanted to take' a double bed into the jungle. Seemed a bit funny like— "You must have some lemonade," interrupted . Mr. Hearty with forced geniality. Mr. Winch smilingly declined, then turning to Bindle he, said: "No, I have a camp bedstead, which does not err on the side of luxury or comfort." Bindle liked this young man with the blue eyes and ready laugh. Af- ter watching' him for some time, he remarked: , "Yer seem sort er 'appy, sir, if I may say so." "I am, replied Mr. Winch, with a smile. "Funny," murmured Bindle, half to himself, "an' you a parson, leastwise a missionary." "But what has that got to do with it?" Mr. Winch looked at Bindle in surprise." . - Bindle cast his eyes round the room. "They don't look wot yer'd call a jolly crowd, do they? Look at ole Woe and Whiskers." 'Bindle's glance left no doubt in Mr. Winch's mind as to whom he referred. The missionary bit his lip to hide a SM i "Mr. Sopley has had a lot of trouble he said quietly." -It seems to have gone to 'is face," was Bindle's comment. " 'E might be a bigamist from the look of 'im. Mr. Winch laughed aloud. "Why?" he asked. "You married?" enquired Bindle., 'Teen know when yer are, was the laconic reply. The arrival of Mr. Winch seemed ta transform the whole aseembly. He and Bindle quickly became the lead- ers of the revels. Faces that had hithertO been shrouded in gloom, I teoke into slow and hesitant smiles. Several of the men laughed, argu- ; :leg that if so devout a man as Mr. • Winch could find it in him to laugh, 1 as he very frequently did, then surely they, being merely laymen, might al- ! low themselves the same privilege.

I known Tarty since 'e• was a young man, an' me an' was arter the same gal once. She's sitting over there." Bindle indicated Mrs. pindle with a jerk of his thumb. Mrs. Bindle and Mr. Hearty grew very red and Mrs. Hearty wheezed :painfully, "1 won:, though; 'Earty warn't nippy enough. 'E could sing 'yrrins an' I couldn't; but yer don't get round gals with 'yrans, leastways not young gals. --So Tarty lost one gal an' got another, one of the best." Bindle pointed to Ws. Hafty.

'E may be a missionary, but 'e's one of the bhoys." With that Bindle sat down. For a moment there was a Muth of conster- nation. but Mr. Winch came to the rescue with a "Thank you, Mr. Bin- dle I hope you're right." Alter that everyone applauded and "Auld Lang Syne" was Sung and the company dispersed, conacious that they had enjoyed themselves as they had never thought it possible. They were aware of a feeling that seented to be perilousy near the mammon of unrighteousness; but they argued that no blame could attach itself to the flock for .doing. what the shepherd acquiesced in. Mr. Hearty was astonished at the cordiality of the good -nights extend- ed to Bindle; but when Mr. Sopley said that he hoped to see him at the Chapel Bazaar to be held a fortnight -hence, he was amazed. He was even more astonished when he heard himself saying, as he shook Bindle warmly by the hand, "Thank you, Joseph, for—for--" And then he lapsed into silence, wondering what it really was for which he, was thank- ful. ,r That night Mrs; Bindle had much food for thought.

He had made up his nliBilid' ndle's mind, was working busily. He was obviously in possession of a secret that other people thought worth paying for. As he walked down the village street he pondered deeply. He slapped his green baize apron covered leg. He walked over to where Mrs. Grinder was standing at the door of her little general shop. A remark of Mr. Gandy's had set him thinking. "lifornine mother," he called out in salutation. "Good -morning," responded Mrs. Grinder with a smile. "'Oo's the biggest bug 'ere?" "The what?"
