and explaining Original Sin, Predestination,
Free Will, and one or two doctrines, pecu-
liarly his own, which contradicted all the
others, though that he did not know. Now,
Judy's obtuseness became purely shocking.
The more he dealt in the law and the pro-
phets, the more this world and every other
seemed one gospel TO her.
"God is SO good l like Him so much
don't your"
She would look up and say it, the light
slowly kindling in her face, as it did when
she turned it toward Jorgensen's window.
He was afraid she had not sufficient idea
of hell and SO he devoted much time to
that unpleasant topic. She would smile
with the happy security ola child in its
fathers arms only once she said:
"Yes, awful place must be, but think
most right for anybodyis don't love God.
Judy do love Him! So good Give Judy
everything very nice since she was born
did,"
Whereupon Kinks grew irate, and declar-
ed to Jorgensen that she "was fool y
though how the conclusion resulted from
the premises I cannot tell.
When the summer was far advanced, Mrs
Wagner took Judy to fashionable "cure. y
She, too, would like to purchase a capa-

might be done for Judy if we only knew
how" They did not return for months.

their existence, when one November day
Kinks announced:

treated as 'ow you'd come hand see err"
Jorgensen said he would, but he was cor
recting the proofs of his treatise, and the
" Nebulous Mist" made him very forgetful.
After week or two Kinks spoke again,
and he went Immediately. He was usher
ed into parlor so Respondent in marble,
and frescoes, and gilt, that after moments
waiting, he half expected to hear invisible
boilers blow off steam, and feel that the
magnificent boat had started !; instead, he
was summoned to Judy's room, where he
found her with great deal less body, if no
more mind. She could not have given him
more rapturous welcome had his devotion
always equaled her own. Holding tight
on his ink-stained hand with her small,
bony one, she hurried out her words:
$50 glad! So glad to get home; car

don't know why; Judy try be very polite.

"No matter, got home; brought you
something Judy did-nice present"
The young girl lifting her head. thrust her
hand under the pillow, with trembling joy
and anxiety. Jorgensen was annoyed,
knowing the slight value this idiot Il put
upon gold and silver. She produced it in a
moment, her eyes like stars-a last years
valentine, heavy with flagree, rosy with
tarletan- yelled cupids-thrust it into his
hands, and fell back with sigh of satisfac-
ton. All the man in Jorgensen awoke.
Judy, this is-wonderful! l would
rather take it from you than anything else
you could give! What roses!"
ala! ha Yes! yes! Judy thought So,
l did,"
She became excited after that, and the
nurse sent Jorgensen away. Two or three
days after, as he was finishing his treatise,
Kinks slowly opened the door, with a sol
emn visage.
Professor, the heiress as gone 'ome!"
"What?"
sJudy is in 'eaven, let US 'ope."
ais it possible?"
Kinks shut the door, and the Professor
gazed neighborward. His first thought,
without levity, was that Mrs. Wagner
would trim all her gothic hencoops with
black it would be so like her some way.
His next, the old enigma, the reason for
Judy-the why of that
"Life of nothings, nothing worth,
From the first nothing ere the birth,
To that last nothing under earth"
The night fell upon him musing, and
found him downcast, bitter. If Judy was

"Thou hast not gained real height,
Thou art not nearer to the light,
Because the scale is infinite
Kinks took another view of things. He
went to the funeral and afterwards rehears-
ed to Jorgensen with something of the rel
ish of an undertaken, white satin shroud,
pecks of camelias, Mrs. Wagnor's Hindu
like lament; and when Jorgensen cut him
short he fell to moralizing.

Jorgensen, the " Infidel," was pacing the
room he stopped before the old man won

Than cry for strength, remaining weak,
