With her downcast eyes fixed on the gloves she twisted nervously in her fingers, Serenity began a little kindly friend. She told him the de ice it al of her heart’s trouble to this tails of the illness at the Johnsons si how Maury had remained to help when he might have saved himself by going away, How lie alone was to blame for liis present illness. Of Myra’s visit to the office the night before, and of her luckless encounter With Maury’s father just a little while ago, And now Manry was facing his greatest test in his battle to live — perhaps this very hour. .She very tired. Bolling shook his as the disconnected litte story drew to a close. “But he’s almctst sure through,” he commented, put a belief he could not the words. “Sturdy chap, always.

A silence broken only today—perhaps felt beaten—so to puli trying to feel into Maury— every iota of a good see what than you air seemed to have dropped from him and there was gravity in face wholly new. Despite her own over wrought condition, she regarded him in a puzzled fashion as she tried to ask lightly: “What’s happened, Syd! You Icon like the bearer of bad news, i thought I told you to stay away.’ “I had to icome,” he answered slowly. “Tomorrow’s our day—the day, you know. I’ve said all along I’d be bere.” “But you didn't really think I’d pack up and go back to the city with you, did you? Be honest!” “Well, I did think so.

"It does seem so,” he agreed. ”i have been trying to get together some sort :f a sermon for the flocs. I’m afraid I haven't done very wen by the folks lately. But it did seem a better use of time to move arouna am-ng the sick and the afflicted.” He reached for his favorite pipe ana commenced packing its bowl with to bacco from a red Chinese jar near his elbow. “You know, I’m wondering if It wouldn't be a good deal better if I didn’t try to preach tomorrow. I wisn we could turn it into a Thanksgiving service—make the people do the talking. If they only would, there would be some rather remarkable testimony.” “Perhaps there would,” admitted the girl with a slight, smile. A rercoi- lection of Willie Danner flitted thro’ her mind. “Why don’t you?” “Yes,” mused her question, as cloud of smoke the ceiling, “all have gone through here has me realize more than ever how like children we all are. When it grows dark, we’re ready to stretch out a •hand. We want somebody to hoia on to—cling to—” Serenity nodded absently. “I guess ■so.” The little cleric scrutinized •caller with a ehrewl light in kindly old eyes. “Well, how the fight?” “Rushed to death, partner,” answered, trying to muster a smile of the desk, over their playful ritual, long unu,r ed now. “Or, at least, I have been,’ “Poor child, you must be more I than tired.

No, sir— refused point-blank.” “Did she give any reason?” “She certainly did, and that’s what I wanted to talk about. Said she was needed in Penny Mill and she would not budge an inch. I tried to find out what she expected to be called on for, and she told me as sweetly as ever that ishe didn’t know, she had to stay right here and ready for it, Hetty’s closer Lord than anybody I know, doesn’t keep her from being her way—” “Oh!” Serenity was gazing the desk, wide-eyed and frightened. “My dear child!

He’s waiting in your office.” “Thank you!” “Yes, ma’am!” .
