Every one had called. He had seen

to the curate over her visit.
"No idea of making herself useful,

again, sit is a sad thing when clergy

And Mr.. Gage had said nothing, but
he had thought it was very sad thing.
"Please will you come and see Tom
my? Mother says he's like to dee. "
This was the announcement that greet
ed Mr.. Gage as he passed down one Of
the worst lanes in Blackstone.
"Who is Tommy, and who are your"
he said, looking down on the ragged
old-tashioned little girl who had stepped
him.
''I'm Tim Purvis lass jimmy, and
Tommy, he's my brother, and you've
been in our house, and my mother said
If you come by was to stop you, said
the small child
Mr. Gage knew her now. Tim Purvis
was great drinker; big, powerful
looking handsome fellow, good work
man, too, when the demon of drink had
not laid hold on him.
He was popular, and had a certain in
fuence among his fellow workmen, and
Mr. Gage had often wished he could get
some hold on him. He had spoken to
him once or twice at the street corners,
had asked him to Join the club, the tenn
perance meetings, but PurviS had an
swered him always with scant courtesy,
to the effect "that meetings and parsons
were not in his line.
The curate had been in the wetched
house before, and had had some talk
with the poor drudging mother. 1t was
for her and for others like her, that he
wanted a lady's. help, If Miss Carew
had been different was his thought even
now as he took the child's hand; and
then his black brows contracted as he
remembered what Miss Carew was.

A fortnight passed away, and the pub
lie interest in Miss Carew had increased
rather than diminished.
She had made her appearance in
church in rich brown furS, in dainty
brown and gold bonnet, which had been
the envy of all the Collects.
Mr. Gage had not looked at her but
the rectory pew was at the top of the
big, bare church. He could not help
hearing lovely voice, that stirred his
very soul, swelling out in LEAD, kindly
light" The singing at Blackstone had
been pain and grief to the curate.
There was wheezy old harmonium,
which for years had been played by the
same old man; there was mixed-up
choir of men and women, who sat in one
Of the heavy, overhanging galleries. By
dint of great exertions Mr.. Gage had
got together few of the most promising
of his Sunday-school boys, had put them
in surplices, and seated them up in the

Anxious as he was to make things bet

by the difficulties and opposition he met
with from all sides but when he heard
that lovely voice a little hope sweIled in
his breast, to sink again Immediately,
for was it at all likely that that elegant
young lady would interest herself insuch
things?
