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. Bat they would build another parish house, and who knew— He drove her up the hill in his small car. At the top of a rise he stopped Tho Car Climbed Blowty. 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.

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 rector's ayay. He's got They are-griing to take up an additional 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. *Tve been thinking about Boro -6*l—" GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1917 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 ing Is sufficient, but If religion Is to you 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,' surpliced, prayer-teadlng priest, who j In a dozen words could compel the peo! pie before him to lay a fortune at hl» feet—Huff ground his teeth together But something of unwilling admiration was mixed with hlB scorn. This was "I Don't Like to Ask You to Talk Business on Sunday." 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 venlent until you get the new build Ing."

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 building, the residence of the assist- | ant rector, a stove In the temporary j structure for cold days, the amount } of collection, and the time at which evening service was over op Buni day night.
