CHAPTER XXXII
Our friend's acquaintance with the
rector of St. .James's church had
grown into something like friendship,
and the two men were quite often to-
gether
ogether in the evening. John went
sometimes to Mr.. Euston's house, and
" not unfrequently the latter would
spend an hour in John's room over a
cigar and a chat. , On one of the latter
occasions, late in the autumn, Mr.
Euston went to the piano after sitting
a few minutes and looked over some
of the music, among which were two
or three hymnals. "You are mus-
,
ical he said.
n modestway,"was t reply.
I a he
p y.
9 am very • fond of it," ,said . the
clergyman, "but have little knowledge
of it. I wish I had furore," he added
in a tone of so much regret_ ap to
cause his hearer to look curiously at
him. 'Yes," he said, "I wish I knew
more ---or leas. It'$1 the bane of my
existence?' declared the rector with a
half Laugh.; John looked inquiringly
at him„ but did not respond.
"I mean the . music—so called—at
St. James's," said Mr. Euston. "I
don't wonder you smile," he remark-
ed; "but it's not a matter for smil-
ing with „me."
"I beg par"don," said John.
"No, you need not," returned the
other, but really Well there ark
a good many unpleasant and dis-
heartening experiences in a clergy-
man's life, and I can, I hope, face
and endure most of them with patience.
but the musical part of my service
is an ever -ending
source of anxiety,
perplexity and annoyance. I think,"
said Mr. Euston, "that I expend -more
nerve tissue upon that branch of my
responsibilities than upon all the rest
of jmy work. You see we can not af-
ford to pay any of the singers, a/nd
indeed my people—some of them, at
least—think fifty dollars is a 'great
sum for poor little Miss Knapp, the
organist. The rest are volunteers, or
rather, I -should say, have been press-
ed into the service. We are supposed
to• have two sopranos and two altos;
but in effect it happens sometimes that
neither of a pair will appear, each ex-
pecting the other to be on duty. The
tenor, Mr. Hubber, who is an elderly
man without any voice to speak of,
but a very devout and faithful church
man, is to be depended upon to the
extent of his abilities; but Mr. Little,
the bassd-wellr observed Mr. Euston,
"the less said about him the better."
"How about the organist?" said
John. "I ,think she does very well,
doesn't she?"
"Miss Knapp is the one redeeming
feature," replied the rector "but she
has not much courage to interfere.
Hubber is nominally the leader but
he knows little of music." Mr. Eus-
ton gave a, sorry little laugh. "It's
trying enough," he said. "one Sunday
with another, but on • Christman and
Easter, when my people make an
unusual effort and attempt the im-
possible, it is something deplorable."
John could not forbear a little
laugh. "I should think it must be
pretty trying," he said. -
"It is simply corroding," declared
Mr. Euston.
They sat for a while smoking in
silence, the contemplation of his
woes having apparently driven other
topics from the mind of the harassed
clergyman. At last he said, turning
to our friend:
"1 -have heard your voice in church."
• "Yes?"
"And I noticed that you sang not
only the hymns but the chants, and
in a way to suggest the idea that
you have had experience and train-
eing. I did riot come here for the
purpose," said Mr. Euston, after wait-
ing a moment for John to speak,
"though I confess the idea has oc-
curred -to me before, but it was sug-
gested.
ug-gested. againby the sight of your
piano and music. I know that it is
asking a groat deal," he continued,
"but do you think you could under-
take, for a while at least, to help such
a lame dog asa•I ani over the stile?
You have -no idea," said, the rector
earnestly, "what a service you would
be doing not only to me, but to my
pepple and the ehurh.".
John pulledtboughtftilly at his
mustache for a moment, while Mr.
Euston -Watched his face. "I don't
know," he said at last in a doubtful
tone. "I am afraid you are taking
-Soo much for granted --I don't mean
as to my good will, but as to my abil-
ity to be of rv'ce„ for I suppose you
mean that T should help in drilling
your; choir."a
"Yes," replied Mr. Euston. "I sup-
pose it won' ' be too much to ask you
to sing as well:"
"1 have had 'no experience in the
way of learlino or directing,' replied
Jon, ignoring the suggestion, "though

the music bus'nis, or hain't ye made
up your mind yet?" he'asked, chang-
ing the subject. -
"I like Mr. Euston," said John, "and
he seems" very much in earnest about
this matter; but I am not sure," he
added thoughtfully, "that 1 can do
what he wants, and I must say that
I am very reluctant to 'undertake it;
still,' T don't know but that I ought to
make the trial," and he looked up at
David,
"I guess 1 would if. I was you," said
the latter. "It can't de ye no harm,
an' it' may do ye some good. The
fact is," he continued; "that' you ain't
out o'' danger of runnin' in a rut. It�',
would'do you good mebbe to git more
acquainted, a'n' mebbe this'll be the
start ` on't."
"With a little team of half a dozen
women, as you called them," said
John. "Mr. Euston has offered to
introduce me to any one I cared to
know."
"I didn't mean the- singin' folks,"
responded Mr. Harum, "I meant the
church folks in 'gen'ral, an' it'll come
'round in a natur'l sort of ,sway not
like bein' took 'round by Mr. Euston

suggested David,
"Perhaps you are right," said John
"Indeed, I don't doubt that you are
right, and I will take your advice."
"Thank you," said David a minute
or two later on, holding out the .glass
while John poured, "jest ' a wisdom

I'm bettin' on a race, ject copper me
an' you c'n . wear di'monds, but I know
when a hoss has stood too'long in the
barn' as soon as the next one.'
It is possible that even Mr; Euston
did not fully appreciate the difficulties
of '°the task which he persuaded our
friend John to undertake; and it. is
certain that had the latter known all
that they Were to be he would have
hardened his heart against both the
'pleadings of the rector and the advice
of David: `His efforts Were welcomed
and seconded by Mr. Rubber_ the tenor
and Miss Knapp the organist, and
there was some earnestness display-
ed at first 'by the ladies of the choir;
but Mr. Little, the bass, 'proved a
hopeless case, and John, wholly a-
gainst his intentions, and his inclina-
tions as well, had eventually to take
over the basso's duty altogether, as
being the easiest way—in fact, the
only way :to save his efforts from
downright failure.
Without going in detail into' the
trials and tribulations -incident to the
bringing of the musical part of the -
service at Mr. Euston's church up to
► a -respectable if not a high standard,
it may b� said that with unremitting
pains this end was accomplished, to
the boundless.relief and gratitude of
that worthy glentleman, and to a
good' degree of the members of his
congregation.

There came a knock at the door
and Mr. Harum appeared, but, 'seeing
a visitor, was for withdrawing.
"Don't go," said John. '"Come in.
Of course you know Mr. Euston."
s "Glad to see ye," said. David, `ad-
vancing and shaking hands. "You
folks talkin' bus'nis?" he asked be-
fore sitting down,
"1 am trying to persuade Mr. ]Lenox
to do. me a great favor," said Mr.
Euston. .
"Well, 1� guess 'he won't want such

David, taking_ a chair, "if he's able
to do it.What does he want of ye?"
he asked, turning to John. Mr. Eas-
ton •explained, and our friend gave
his reasons for hesitating—all but the
chief one, which was that he was
reluctant to 'commit himself to an
undertaking- which he apprehended
would : be not only laborious but dis-
agreeable.
"Wa'al," said David, "as fur 's the
.bus'nis itftelf 's concerned, the hull
thing's all nix-cumrouse to me; but a
as fur 's gettin' folks to come an'
sing, you c'n git a barn full, an' take

"Well," said John, laughing, "you
could -have done what I was lucky
enough to do with the horses, but—"
"Yes, yes," David broke in, scratch-
ingyougotme

Mr. Euston perceived that for some
reason he had an al=ly and advocate
in Mr. Harem. _ He rose and said 'good
night and John escorted him down=
stairs to the door. "Pray ,think of it
as favorably as you can," he•said, as
they shook hands at parting. •
"Putty nice kind of ,a. man," re-
marked David when John came back;
"putty nice kind of a man. 'Bout

his kind, ain't he? Wa'al, he's all

John with a smile.

suggested David.. "I may have told

Catarrh of the
Stomach is
Dangerous
"Thousands Have It and Don't Know
It," Says Physician. Frequently
Mistaken for Indigestion—How to
Recognize and Treat.
"Thousands of people suffer more
or less constantly from furred, coated
tongue, bad breath, sour burning
stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling
in stomach, bitter eructations, gas,
wind and stomach acidity and call it
indigestion when in reality their trou-
ble is due to gastric catarrh of the
stomach," writes a New York physi-
cian
Catarrh of the stomach is danger-
ous because the mucous membrane
lining of the stomach is thickened and
a coating of phlegm covers the sur-
face so that the digestive fluids 'can-
not mix with the food and digest
them. This condition soon breeds
deadly disease in the fermented,' un-
assimilated food. The blood is pol-
luted and carries the infection
throughout the body. Gastric ulcers-
are apt to form and frequently lin
uieeit is the first sign of a deadly
cancer.
dktarrh of the stomach a good
and safe treatment is to take before
meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated
Magnesia in half a glass of hot
water as hot as you can comfortably
drink it. The hot water washes the
mucous from the stomach walls and
draws the blood to the stomach while
the bisurated magensia and
an excel-
lent solvent for mucus and increases
the efficiency of the hot water treat-
ment. Moreover the Bisurated Mag-
nesia will se,rve as a ppwerful but 1
harmless antacid which will neutra- '
lize any excess hydrochloric acid that
may be in your stomach and sweeten i
its food contents. Easy, natural di-
gestion without distress of any kind
should soon follow. Bisurated Mag-
nesia is not a laxative, is harmless,
pleasant and easy to take andcan be
obtained from any local druggist.
Don't confuse Bisurated Magnesia
with other forms of magnesia, milks,
citrates, etc., but get it in the pure
bisurated form (powder or tabl eta.)
CHAPTER XXXIII
On a fine Sunday in sumer after
the close of- 'the service the exit of
the • congregation of St. James's
church presents an animated and in-
spiring spectacle. A good many well-
dressed ladies of various ages, -and
not quite so many well-dressed men, {
mostly (as David would have put it)
"runnin' a little, younger," come
from out the sacred edifice with an
expression of relief easily changeable
to something gayer_ A few drive a-
way in handsome equipages, but most
prefer to walk, and there is usually
a good deal of smiling talk in groups
before parting, in which Mr, Euston
likes to join. He leaves matters in
the vestry to the care of old Barlow,
the sexton, and makes, if one may
be permitted the expression, "a quick
change." '
,'Things had come about very much
as David had desired and anticipated, !
and our friend had met quite a num-
ber of the "summer people," having
been waylaid at times by the rector
—in whose good graces he stood so
high that lee might have sung any-
thing short of a comic song during
the offertory—and prestnted willy-
nilly. On this particular, Sunday he
had lingered a while in the gallery
after service over some matter con-
nected with the music, and when he
came out of the church most of the .
people had made their way down the
front steps and up the street; but
standing near the gate Was a group .
of three—the rector and two young
women whom John had seen the previ- .
ous summer, and now recognized as
the Misses Verjoos. He raised his
hat as he was passing the group,
when Mr. Euston detained him: "I
want to present you to the Misses
Verjoos." A tall girl, dressed in some
black material ,which gave John the
impression- of lace, recognized his
salutation with a slight bow and a
rather indifferent survey from a pair
of very somber dark eyes, while her
sister, in light colors, gave him a
smiling glance from a pair of very
blue ones, and, rather to his surprise,
put out her hand with the usual declar-
ation of pleasure, happiness, or what
not. •
"We were just speaking of the sing-
ing," said the rector, "and I was say-
ing that it was all your doing."
"You really have done wonders,"
condescended she of the.sombev'eyes.
"Weave only been here a day or
two and this is the first time we have
been at church."
The party moved out of the gate
and up the' street, the rear leading

"I have found it rather trying at
times," said John;"but now—you are
so kind—it is beginning to appear to
me as the most delightful .of p ir-
suts." 1
"Very pretty," remarked Miss
Clara. "Do you say a good deal of
that sort of thing?"
"I am rather out of practice," re-
plied John. "I haven't had much op-
portunity for some time."
I don't think you need feel dis-
couraged," she returned. "A good
method is everything, and I have no .
doubt you might soon be in form
again."
"Thanks for your encouragement.;"
said John,
smiling.
I was begin-
ning
a .u-ning to feel 'quite low in 'nip mind
about it."- She laughed a little.
"I heard quite . a good deal about
you last year from a very good friend
of yours," said Miss Clara after a
pause,
John looked, at her inquiringly.
"Mrs. Bixbee," she said, ' 1sn't she
an old dear?"
"I have reason to think so, with all
my heart," said John stoutly.
"She talked about you to me," said
Miss Vara.
"Yes?"
"Yes, . and if your ears 'did -not burn
you have no sense of gratitude. Isn.'t
'Mr. Harum funny?"
"I have sometimes suspected it,"

Everywhere, now, you find cars compired with the Gray -Dort
for value.
Because the Gray -Dort has become the standard—a new .and
higher standard -giving more for the money than ever was given
before -and setting new standards of strength and quality for light
cars.
Here's What You Get in the
Gray -Dort at $1365(plus war tax)
Compare it with Other Cars.
The Gray -Dort Motor is big. and
finely built. like a watch. 40 pound
crankshaft: non -warping, quiet
valves; light; throe -ringed pistons;
Carter carburetor, Connecticut ig-
nition; Westinghouse starting and
lighting; cellular radiator and big
water jackets.
The leaedership of the Gray -Dort
motor is paralleled by the leader hip
of the Gray -Dort chassis. Here is a
strong. solid frame of heavy channel,
steel; a big; husky rear axle, designed
and built exclusively for us here in
Chatham; Chatham built springs.
full cantilever in the rear; big
brakes, with Therrnoid lining; a new
steering gear. 50 % bigger and
stronger than ha" b�een used for
light cars; a big gas -genic in the rear,
with vacuum feed system.. -
Nothing can take away your pride
in the smooth, flowing lines of your
Gray -Dort. No other car can equal
the wonderful Gray -Dort finish,
which we have spent 60 years in
developing.
And there is the smart: new top,
hand -tailored in our own shops;
French -pleated upholstery; a new
hood, with many long, narrow
louvres; snug• side -curtains; which
• open with the doors; a shorter,
smarter cowl which gives inore
room in the driving compartment;
seats tilted at the most comfortable
angle; increased leg -room in the
tonneau; lamps raised to give size
to the front of the car.
Once you know _the Gray -Dort,
you will be too critical to accept any
other light car. There will be
thousands who will agree with you—
probably several thousand more
purchasers than there will be Gray-
Dorts.. We urge you to see the
' Gray -Dort dealer now.
