CHAPTER V.
Boroday had used his day's freedom
to warn the band and to make plans
for regaining bis freedom. Of money
he had none. What he had made under
old Hilary's leadership had gone back
to Russia, dollar for dollar. He had
financed part of the Kiev defense of
the Jews; had saved Prince Ovarsky
from Siberia! There were other things.
Money wouhl save Boroday. And
there was practically no money.
By unanimous consent they kept the
news of his arrest from Elinor.
It was Talbot who planned the coun
try club coup. The Russian was In Jail
then, on a trumped-up charge. Old
Hilary dead and Boroday In Jail —there
was no one tt> advise caution.
"Boroday- III!" Elinor exclaimed.
They were accounting for his 1 absence
from her Saturdny-nlgbt dinner. "Why,
then he should be here, where he can
be cared for."
"We told him that" Lethbrldge was
Mways readiest with his tongue. "But
he's not sick enough to need moch,
and he's deucedly disagreeable when
he's laid' up."
Elinor was a little hurt.
In the arbor, after dinner, they
planned the robbery. Where old Hil
ary would have taken a month to think
and plan, they took minutes. There
was a ball at the dub that night, the
last of the waning country-club season.
The entrance to the grounds was a
mile from the clubhouse—two Iron
gates standing open between pillars,
and dense shrubbery all about. Talbot
would wreck his car there, driving Into
one of the gates. That would require
each departing car to slow down, prob
ably to stop. I
The arrangement was that Talbot
walk up to the dab, establish an
alibi and his Innocence by telephoning
to a city garage for help. The rest
was left to Huff and Lethbridge. A
quarter of a mile away across the golf
links, they would have a car In which
to make their getaway.
Lethbridge wai only lukewarm.
"We'll get a lot of Jewelry," he ob
jected. "What we need Is money."
But Talbot was sure the loot would
Include money.
It was rather cleverly planned.
From the vault Huff bronght tip a fine
chain studded with spikes. Stretched
across the road oatslde the entrance, II
meant that every car passing over 11
would limp along on flat tires. II
meant time to the bandits.
Huff and Lethbridge, who had left
their car in a thicket over the hill
went first. Talbot fallowed soon, In
his gray car.
"Good luck, boys," said Elinor In
echo of her father, from her garden
and went back into the house to watch
the clock. At one, or a little sooner—
the summer dances were early ones
she was to be In her garden again. Th
loot would be thrown over the wall.
She was there much earlier, hahdi
cold, lips shaking with nervousness
Always old Hilary bad dona the*
things. She was profoundly frightened
Ward, walklnf rapidly'home fron
the club, saw her there, a little aftei
midnight. There was a young moon

he ran up the shallow steps. The glad

"In the daylight," said Elinor, tryln|
to smile, "I frequent the woodlands
and miss my most agreeable visitor—
my only visitor." She corrected her

Her hand was lea in his.
"Yon are .cold I"
"Really, no."
There was a minute's pause. The]
had no common ground between them

swung open to Elinor's practiced fin
gers.
The village rang wtth the news ol
the outrage the next day. No one had
been hurt, but Jewels of large value
had been taken.
To Hull and the others, the raid had
been failure. There had
been leaa than a thousand dollars In
money—not enough to begin negotia
tion* for Boroday's freedom. It began
to look as though the dangerous busi
ness of selling some of Elinor's Jewels
would have to be resorted to. Leth
bridge was willing to undertake It, try-
Ing London first and then Paris.
IJlfpoY offered all the diamonds. If
she mnßt keep a part, she would keep
this pearls. Talbot sorted out the
stbfles t() be sold, but left them with
Kferfornfety. She had never cnred
fdr her Jewels. They were not half
W lovely as her flowers—and she purt-
efl from them without a pang. Bui
there was one pink pear-shaped pear
that had come In the night before, that
she would have rather liked to wear.
| On 1 Monday afternoon Ward called
on- Elinor. The memory of that short
meeting In the garden bad been with
hIRf ever since. There was a new llghl
'l* his eyes, but she greeted him de
| mutely, although she Hushed wtth
! pleasure.
"Not? In a woodland, for once," sh"
sal#. "And all my fnlryltke attribute*
faded In the daylight I"
I "Isn't It rather rash?" he linked
gravely—'"this risking the daylight?"
"I am here becioise 1 hoped you
would come to see me." It was Ward's
turn to flush.
"You sold you were lonely, 1
thought—"
"I am alone, hut not as lonely as
you think. There Is plenty to do. I
have my garden, and I make up little
bouquets for the school children. Ynu
should see how they love them. Some
days I have a dozen clamoring In the
road under the arbor."
Ward was charmed. He had a quick
vision of Elinor, eyes dancing and soft
hair blowing, bending out of her arbor
window and dropping her quaint Bweet
Williams and marguerites, mignonette
and garden roses, down to the children.
She led the way to the terrace, where
Henrlette was setting the tea-table.
"Nevertheless," Ward said suddenly,
"I am not at all sure I like your living
here alone. It doesn't seem safe."
"Safe?"
"Perhaps I am unwise to alarm you.
But this outrage at the country club—"
"Ah I" said Elinor, and bent toward
hIU.
"There Is no longer any question that
a band of desperadoes Is terrorizing
the county: an organized band of con
siderable Intelligence. They get their
Information from the Inside. This last
oatrage shows It. No one Is We."
"And this country club affair?" asked
Elinor, watching Ward Intently.
"An audacious piece of work. Half
the wom{n In this vicinity suffered.
Most of them are my parishioners."
"Ah I" breathed Elinor, "I am sorry."
Ward shrugged his shoulders rueful
ly. "It means, I dare say, that the poor
of the parish will get less than ever
"And This Country Club Affair?"
Asked Elinor.
this year. Mrs. Bryant, for Instance,
who has always been gem-rous, lost s
pearl necklace and a wonderful pear
shaped pink pearl."
"Is she—a wealthy woman?"
"Very, I believe."
' GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST !>, 1917
"Then Is It such a terrible thing for
her to lose the pearl? Perhaps these
bandits, as you call them, think they
could use these things better than the
people who owned them."
Ward smiled. "I daresay we all
think we could use the other fellow's
possessions better than he does."
Elinor persisted, frowning a little.
"Things are so terribly mixed up,"
she said. "If you could know the things
that I know" —Ward, looked faintly
amused—"the people who are fighting
for a principle, and have nothing to
fight with, fighting for life sometimes I
A good half of the world, you know,
Just struggles along, and the other half
Is so smug, so satisfied; It's—lt's hor
rible."
Mr. Ward stared jit her.
"How In the world do you come by
such thoughts?" he demanded.
"I've never known anything else; I
was brought up on tho Injustice of
things. You have your poor here In
the parish, but you see l was brought
up with the poor of all the world. I
am afraid I'm always for the under
dog."
Ilather startled was Rev. Mr. Ward
that summer afternoon on the terrnce
at the Mall, startled und puzzled.
"Down In our hearts," he said, "per
haps we are all of us for the under
dog. But how does that excuse my
bandits?"
"This Mrs. Bryant—how much do
you suppose you are going to lose for
your poor by her loss?"
"Not so much, but enough. She had
promised a lot of things. She called
up this morning to say that It was all
off." He started 1 to say that all bets
were off, but decided that It was un
clerlcal and changed It. "But I didn't
come here to worry you about myself
or the parish. I think you should not
be here alone."
4 Elinor looked down over the village.
' "Then perhaps, after all, It would be
better If I married at once."
"Ah! You are to be married?"
"Now that my father is gone," said
Elinor wistfully, "H seems the best
thing. And—T should like children. 1
have no friends, except perhaps you."
Ward strove t« keep his voice steady,
and matter-of-fact.
"Marriage Is so serious—so vital a
thing." He was trying to be calm and
Judicial. But his voice sounded far
off; his henrt pounded In his ears. "T-
marry because one Is alone, or needs
friends—ls a flimsy Inundation to build
on."
Once again Elinor surprised him.
"There have been few really great
passions In the world," she said. "I
could almost count them on my fingers.
The rest of us seem to get ulong with
out." '.
"Perhaps there are more than we
hear about. Every now nnd then, Irt
my work, I come across something so
much greater than,l had expected, self
sacrlflce? love, charity, as to Justify my
faith In munklnd." ,
"Your faith!" Elinor said softly.
'That Is what I envy you—your faith.
Not only your faith In your kind, but—
tho other sort."
Faith, hope and charity—and tho
greptestof these Is faith. Ainu for old
nilnry, who had not kept hi*!
"I had a governess once who had
that sort of faith; It wn* a great com
fort to her. But I sit here on iny hill
side, and It seems to me that spread
out nt my feet Is all the Injustice and
cruelty and hatred In the world. And
your Clod allows It nil. My father tried
to believe—tried hnrd, hut he said that
when he asked for bread they guve hlra
a stone."
"Do you know who said that?"
"My father," said Elinor.
Rather Surprised, he let It go at that

SoVmit had the urgency of Boro

met nt the hall on Thursday of the

Talbot wished to discuss his prospect.
After dlnder, the night being warm,
they had their coffee on the terrnce.

"It'* n darned fine building," said
Huff. "What would they do If It burned

They were too unfamiliar with

nor, who hnd been sitting silent, sud
denly voiced an objection to-HulTs un

"There must be some other way,"
she snld. "The children—they have

the children there. It's the parish
house."
"If lightning *truck the par!*h hou*«

/ The Idea bad taken hold of hla Imagi

"You can do It nome place clae," *be
unlii. "Not here. They struggled very
hard to build the church and they need
money now. Mr. Ward told me—"
Huff turned on her Jealously.
"Ward —that'* the preacher chap?"
"lie la the aaalxlnnt rector," Elinor
replied with dignity.
"He'* been coming here, thenT'
"Twice. Once when father dleJ, and
once to warn me agalnot all of you."
Not that ahe had forgotten that few
minute* In the garden, under the moon;
but that had been an accident—hardly
u call.
Talbot chuckled. Rut Huff wn«
thinking hard. Elinor had been differ
ent lately, a little aofter. Ward rep
resented all that the men Elinor knew
were not —law to their violence, order
to their dlaorder. There wa* almost a
annrl In hi* voice.
"He'd better stay down In bjs Taller
with his" ofd tfomen," he said, "and
lcfive you alone. You don't noed him."
'Tm not ao Hiirp of that," Elinor re
plied quletjy, and loft him staring. . . .
Huff burned th» pnrlsh house the
next nlcht. He did It himself, without
the assistance of the bnnd. Into It ho
put not only the devllldi InKenulty of
IOIIR experience, but his new hatred of
Wnrd.
Church property Is always easy of
access. It was the work of flvo min
utes to crawl through a basement win
dow and of half an hour to make his
preparations.
He looked at his watch when he had
finished. It was Just midnight. In two
hours, or before the fire began, he
would be back In the city, establishing
his alibi.
Tho fire-whistles In the village
wakened Elinor at something after
three o'clock. All of her room wns
filled with the red glare of the burn
ing parish house. Old Henrietta
Crocked at her door.
"The church Is burning down In the
valley," she called. "It's a grand
sight."
Elinor wns throwing on her clothing.
She must see Ward. She would sell
her pearls. She would build a new
parish house. She said this over and
over to herself as sho struggled down
the hill.
A new pnrlsh house, better than the
old, with plenty of room for the chil
dren to piny In! At least It was night,
and the children safe in their beds;
thnnk God for that! She wus too dis
turbed to notice that she had thanked
the (Jod In whom she did not believe.
The fire had gained too much head
way to be checked. All the efforts of
the volunteer department anil the small
engine were directed toward saving
the church. For a time It seemed as If
Saint Jude's must go.
Elinor watched the destruction. It
seemed as though a hand bad fastened
Itself around her chest. Then she saw
Ward. He was on the ridge-pole of the
church roof with a hatchet. The ridge
pole was burning slowly. She could
sfee him chopping.
From that time she never took her
eyes away from him. Other men were
there. She did not see them. Sho saw
only Ward on the ridge-pole,
and high above on the steeple the
sturdy cross of his faith.
Once the men on the street below
turned the full force of the hose on
him. She knw him reel, saw him re
cover himself by a miracle.
The fire glare died Into the dawn.
Saint Jude's w*s saved. Behind It In
Its park the charred skeleton of Ibo
pnrlsh house showed how thoroughly
young Huff had done his work. Not
until Ward-had descended safely to the
street did Elinor relax.
Ward found her sitting In one of the
chairs along the pavement, her hair
still In Its long braid, her feet thrust
Into slippers, her eyes red from long
staring.
The fire engine wns being dragged
away. Tho crowd had dispersed.
Ward, blackened antfdepressed, wns
surveying the ruins with a heavy heart.
He turned and saw the girl.
Just at first ho was not sure of her.
He was always seeing her, mentally.
Then ho went toward her, his hand
out.
"You see," ho said, "what an hour
may bring forth f" And then, "You
reckless child, hero in slippers!"
"I saw you on tho roof," said Elinor,
barely nblo to articulate. "Ouco I
thought you hod fallen."
"They nearly got me. It's rather sad,
Isn't It?" Ho stood, bareheaded In the
cool dawn, and surveyed tho ruin.
People meet great crises simply.
She tried to find some word of sym
pathy to soy, but what was there, poor
child? She knew tho true Inwardness
of that disastrous night. So, with pa
thetic eyes, sho turned away.
"I'll go home now," she said. "I saw
tho glare—l—" Quito suddenly her
Hps trembled. "I should Hko to help
you with the new building."
"Fine!" said Ward heartily. "We'll
get to that before long."
"If you had fallen —"
He was not listening. It came to her
then how far apart they were. To her
his falling would have been an end of
all things; to him, It would have meant
the beginning of a useful eternity.
"If you wait a little, I'll run around
nnd get my car and take you up,"
She sat down again, obediently. Sho
was glad to be with hlrn a llttlo longer.
Until recently, the work of tho hand
had always seemed a vague abstrac
tion. Now one of Its results lay before
her. And there were other things fresh
In her mind—old Hilary, dead of Ills
revolt against law, and lying In stale
before MI altar erected to a God he had
not recognized. And Word, watching
her windows and thinking her the em

Over her bitterness rose a hot wave
of anger against Walter Huff. Hhe had
