Ward' brought her a cap of collate,
and stood by with satisfaction while
she drank it In his eyes there was a
mixture of depression and Joy. The
parish bouse was gone, and this girl
before him was to marry another man.

the car and looked backt> The night's
devastation showed clearly, a black
wound In the smiling heart of the val
ley.
Elinor watched him.
"It means a great deal to yon, doesn't
It?"
"It's rather a facer— Of course we
will build again, but there are things
that could not be replaced. That Isn't 1
what troubles me. The fact Is, I am
afraid Tm responsible.
"I was there last night, slone. I
have a bad habit, when I have a men
tal problem to worry out, of walking
up and down a room and lighting one
cigarette after another. lam reckless
with matches."
Then perhaps, after all, Walter had
not dOne It 1
The car climbed slowly. Ward kept
his eyes straight ahead. Elinor cast
little shy glances at his profile.
"Tou said you had something to
worry out?"
He drew a long breath.
"I have had an offer to go to New
York to a big church. It's rather a
wonderful opportunity."
Elinor made no sign except to clutch
her hands as they lay ungloved In her
tap.
"Then you will be leaving—usT"
"No," he said. "I shall not be leaving
you."
"Ton like it herer
"Very much." He turned and looked
down at her. It was unwise. He real
ized that at once. So frail she looked,
so softly, tenderly feminine I And be
cause he knew that, after the night,
he had not yet got control over himself,
the merest hand-clasp as she got out of
the machine was all he dared. But at
the top of the Rteps Minor turned.
"Ton will never know Just how sorry
I am," she sold, and went through her
garden to the house.
From that Friday morning until the
evening of the following day Elinor
was quite alone.
Hour after hour she spent pacing the
tenrace. looking down Into the valley.
On Friday night, unable to sleep, she
threw a negligee over her shoulders
and went down to her garden. The
village slept quietly, but there was a
light In Ward's small window near the
church. She remained on the terrace
until the light was extinguished.
At dinner that Saturday Boroday'a
empty place cast a gloom over the
meal. Walter Huff came a little late.
Under the ease of his greeting there
was a touch at uneasiness as be met
Sudor's sm arrant* Jsft
am-- «nr ' -• >m
fhtr room'; "Talbof" leaned forward to
Walter.
"Now tell us about It," he said.
Huff was frankly triumphant, but he
still avoided Elinor's eyes.
"It's working out exactly as I knew
It would," he explained. "Having once
had a parish house they cannot do
without it The vestry carried only
about a third enough Insurance. And
,there'B another point In our fnvor—the

purse to send him to Baden-Bnden."
"WhenT"
"Tomorrow morning. And tomorrow
being Sunday, the assistant rector, Eli
nor's friend, will have it In charge un- ;
til Monday morning."
"I shall warn him," said Elinor sud
denly. ,
There was silence for a moment. Tal
bot smiled. Lethbrldge looked hatound
ed. Huff, bending forward with Ills
arms out before him on the table, con
fronted Elinor squarely.
"That's It, Is it?" he said.
*T asked you not to do—what you
have don*--The children used It all
the time. They played basketball there.
Besides, my wish should mean some
thing to you."
Huff shrugged his shoulders.
"If I had burned a tenement full of
people—"
"A man was nearly killed. He was
on the ridge-pole of the church and
they turned the full strength of the
water on him. I saw It. I —almost
fainted."
"Yon saw It"
"I was there," said Elinor quietly.
Huff rose angrily.
"You were there 1 And who was it
who almost fell oft the roof? Your
parson, I suppose."
Talbot silenced the boy. It was
Lethbrldge who took up the argument.
He understood her position and sym
pathized, he said. The fire was a mis
take. But now that it was done —
He spoke of, Boroda.v's critical condi
tion, of their saf&ty that depended on
his, and finding her attitude to be un
yielding, took refuge in her futher's
memory.
"If anything comes out, It will all
come out," he reminded her.' "It seems
to me, Elinor, that you owe It to your
father not to Interfere. This Isn't a
new plan. Four or five years ago when
the parish house was first built we
talked it over here. And it isn't as
though we mean to hurt this fellow
Ward. It will be three to one; he'll
make no resistance/'
"Yes," she said. "Three to one.
That is the way we fight. Oh, I'm one
of you, I know that—but It sickens me,
sometimes."
The men were astounded, frankly
uncomfortable.
The conference got nowhere. Elinor
acknowledged their duty to the Rus
sian, offered all her Jewels, In fact, for
his defense. But she stubbornly re
fused to countenance the attack on
Mr. Ward. Huff lapsed Into sullen si
lence, his eyes on her. The other men
found every argument met by silence,
except for one pr.sslonate outburst.
"He is my friend," she cried. "I
have never had any friends, except
once, years ago, a girl. It was Boro
day then who used my friendship for
her. It was the-Rutherford matter.
Walter would not remember, but the
rest of you—l tell you, I won't do this
thing."
Talbot tried a new method. "It's
a wealthy congregation," he explained.
"It Is not much for them, and It's
safety for us. If we let Boroday go
up, and he thinks what he will about
us, he can make It bad for all of us."
Elinor turned on him.
"I don't care a rap for the congre
' gatlon. Do you think he will let that
money go without a struggle? The
moment It goes Into the offertory It
ceases to be money and becomes a di
vine trust to him. He'll fight and—
someone will be killed."
It dawned even on Talbot after •
time that her solicitude was for none
of them. When he realized It, at last,
he sat back with folded arms and
frowning brows. Here was mockery,
for sure; old Hilary's daughter, reared
on pure violence, ami in love with a
parson!—old Hilary's daughter and
successor, defying the band In Its
hour of need, and quoting a divine
trust in extenuation 1
In view of her attitude, there seemed
to be nothing to do.
"We'll give It up. of course," said
Lethbrldge, after a pause.
There had never been any drinking
in old Hilary's house. Only abstain
ers were ever taken Into the band. But
It was the custom of the two older men
to remain at the table over their cigars,
giving Walter and Elinor a half-hour
together. That, night, when Elinor
rose from the table. Huff, although he
rose with the others, made no move
to follow ber. She looked back from
the doorway, a slim, almost childish
figure, with beseeching eyes.
"You most all try to think kindly of
me," she said wistfully. "I care for
yoo as much as I ever did. Yon fire all
I hare, yon three. It Is only that I—
have been thinking."
For the first time since the organi
zation of the band, there was quarrel
ing that nlfht In old Hilary's paneled
library. At the end of an hour Walter
Huff flung out of the door, white with
fury. He stumbled through the gar
den toward the garage, muttering as
he went In the rose alley he met El
inor,
"I wag waiting for you," she said
simply.
Haff stood before her, and the anger
left his face.
"You're the one thing in all the
world I felt sore of." His voice was
heavy with despair.

I "tlllnor, how far have things gone
i between you and this man at St
Jude's?"
She recoiled.
"I hardly know him,"
"You think about Mm."
She looked down Into the valley.
"I think of the things he stands for.
It Just seems to me that, when n man
like thflt, not a dreamer at all, but hu
man and—atKl keen, when he believes
all that he does—"
"It was Ward on the ridge-pole, the
one who nearly fell?"
"Yes."
"And you were frightened?"
"It made me sick. I —"
Quite suddenly he crushed her t«
him. It was as If he meant to drive
away this barrier between them by
sheer force of his love for her. But,
although she held up her face for hl»
kiss, he released her as suddenly,
without it
"You're crazy about him," he said
thickly. "I'm not blind. I'll get him
for this!"
CHAPTER VIII.
Snturdny evening It was the custom
of the Bryants to entertain the rector
at dinner.
Now, In his absence, It was the as
sistant rector who dined' In the paneled
Jacobean dining room of the Bryant
house, swallowing much unctuous dlc
tntldh as to church policy with his
dinner. _
Not that Ward was mild. But he
had an easy way of listening to the
advice of his various Influential parish
loners and then going ahead and doing
as he liked. In nonessentials he al
ways yielded. To him the church was
so much bigger than Its ritual.
That evening Mrs. Bryant had taken
up the question of women In the choir.
"Frankly, Mr. Ward," she said. Ig
noring her flsh, "I do not approve of
It. It's the feminist movement, I tell
you. Before long they'll want to be
on thfe*jrestry."
Ward glanfced up, half smiling. The
pear-shaped pearl, which usually hung
at his hostess' withered throat, was,
( naturally, not there. From the pearl
to the parish house, from the parish
house .to Elinor—thus In two leaps of
Ward's mind he was far from the sub
ject In hand.
"As president of the Chancel soci
ety," snld Mrs. Bryant, "as honorary
president of the Woman's guild, I pro
test against women In the choir."
Back to the choir with a Jump came
Ward's errant mind.
"I wonder," Ward reflected, "wheth
er a matter of tradition and custom
will prevent women from singing In
the heavenly choir!"
Mrs. Brynnt stnbbed at her flsh. But
she had not finished. There were
mnny things about Saint Jude's that
did not please her. The burial of old
Hilary Kingston had been one. She
seized on that.
"A non-communicant," she snnppod.
"An Infldel, tin atheist! The daughter
Is living alone up there at this min
ute. It Isn't respectable. It's a had
example to the girls In the village. The
house Is full of men all the time."
"Thnt must bo a mistake."
"It Is quite true. Servants talk, you
know. What can you expect? Italsed
out of the church, with no belief, and,
of course, no moral Instruction."
Ward bent forward over the table.
"That Is a very serious statement,
Mrs. Bryant" Ills eyes were like
steel. "Of course you are not basing
It merely on what you hear from serv
ants?"
Mrs. Bryant flushed, a purplish spot
In the center of each sagging cheek.
"I do not gossip with the servants,"
she snld, shortly. "It Is common talk.
And there are other things. Machines
come and go from the house at queer
hours of the night. The girl spends a
great dr«il of money. Where does she
get It? Where, for thnt matter, did old
Hilary Kingston get It?"
Thus challenged, Wnrd had nothing
to say.
After dinner he left early, but he did
not go home. He went up the hill. As
he strode on, he remembered many
things. The girl was without the sheet
anchor of any belief, adrift and alone,
and he had made no attempt to help
her unbelief. Although It was after
ten,' the house was still lighted down
stairs, and he went without hesitation
Into the garden.
Thus It happened that he saw Elinor
In Huff's arms, saw him thrust her vio
lently from him, and rush away across
the flower-beds, leaving ber there
alone.
Wnrd remained In the shadows. To
save his life he could not have spoken
to Elinor then. Under his constrained
exterior he was In the thrall of the
fiercest Jealousy. This little falr
i haired girl, to whom bis God was no
, (!od, had taken a powerful bold on
blm.
I Elinor, who slept little that night,
saw the light In liis window until it
I faded Into the dawn.
Elinor went to the early communion
, the following day. The church was
1 dark. There were hardly two dozen
t people scattered over the building. She
, Sat far back and was heavily veiled.
When the congregation knelt, she
knelt. An old woman In the next pew
. guve her the prayer book open #t the
, service. On her knees then went Ell
, nor and listened to Ward's fine voice
, echoing through the empty building.
, The morning was warm and the win-
I dows open. The odor of burned wood
[ from the parish house crept In.
r "Thou shalt not steal," Ward read
I from the Decalogue, and the people
. snld:
, "Lord have mercy upon us and In
. 1 cllne our hearts to keep this law."
. I » "Thou sbalt not steal."
I In the palm of ber left glove Ellnoi
r bad the Bryant pear-shaped pearl,
i Ward had not seen her. He went
. through the service reverently, with an
, Impresslveness of voice and bearing
. that showed how real It' was to him.
And In his voice, reading, exhorting,
I commanding, there were tender notM
, that Caught Elinor's tt&eath In her
' throat.
I When the service was over, she rose
from her knees and dropped the Bry
' ant pearl Into tha alms-box by. th«
door. The congregation, small and
scattered, was still kneeling. Tb«
' | doorway and the alma-box were In twfc
light. -
Drawing down her veil, she went
quickly out Into the sunshine.
At the eleven o'clock service Ward
announced the burning of the parish
huldlng.
"It Is not my Intention to make an
nppeal," he said simply. "The parish
h«use was built to All a great need)
that nee.' still exists. If our church li
to he an element In the dally Uvea ol
the people of this town, we must have
a meeting place for them. For th«!
worship of onr God, the church build

the thing it Is to me, the broader reli
gion of universal brotherhood, tiki
church building Is not enough.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor ai
thyself."
Seventy-eight thousand dollars wai
taken up In the collection at Salnl
Jude'a that morning. Over fifty thou
sand was in checks, the rest was la
cash.
Walter Huff, sitting alone In tIM
back of the church, had watched Ward (
Intently through the service.
Unlike Bllnor, Huff had been raised
In a Presbyterian household. He had
come to Jeer, to watch with his thlef'i
eyes the offertory piling Into the sllvet j
plates. But the service told on him 1
Somewhere down In his violent young
heart there crept a sense of shame. I|
was only when he looked at Ward thai i
his eyes hardened.
This mun who had come between'
him and his girl—this white-handed,'

In a dozen words could compel the peo!

no IN •tin adversary, this Ward; a man,
every Inch of him. He would beat him
out if he had to kill him to do It. I
Huff stayed In church after the serv-
Ice. Ho accosted Mr. Bryant, one of
the vestrymen, as the congregation
filed out. j
"I don't like to aak you to talk
business on Sunday," he said, "but 11
think It's going to be mighty I noon-1

Ing." I
"Horrible," aald the vestryman. "Nl

ItufT drew a business card from hli
pocket.
I "I thought perhaps you might b«
willing to talk about a temporary
building," be said. "We specialize Iq
things like that Wood, you know, and
weather-proof, but Inexpensive."
The last word caught Mr. Bryant* I
ear.
"Seems to me," HnfT went on, "ths'
rholr boys need a place to dresa In.
You couldn't ask them to put on thefr
surplices at home and walk over here."
"We bad thought of a tent," Mr. Bry- j
ant said uncertainly. "But If you cars (
to look around —"
"Never mind about me," said Huff 1
largely. "I'll Just glance over the place
myself. You'd better attend to that;
fortune you took up In the collection ;
this morning."
"The assistant rector has taken i
charge of that," Mr. Bryant observed, j
and affer that for half an hour he i
Mid Huff talked board floors, tar-paper
roofs and electric Installation In the
temporary headquarters.
Huff made careful notes In his
pocket notebook. They Included the
length and breadth of a temporary

structure for cold days, the amount }
of collection, and the time at which

Corn production was placed at
I 197,000,000 bushels, an Increase of 67,-
000,000 bushels over the July fore
cast and M.000,000 buahels above the
record crop of ltll. The showing Is
