CHAPTER III.

It was put gently and carefully, but the meaning of the communication to the minister plainly was that it had come to a contest between him and the young MT. Lloyd, and that whichever should acquit himself in this debate most to the satisfaction and admiration of the audience would straightway be chosen as minister.
 It was a terrible situation for the minister-how terrible none but him self knew, and none, not even the wife of his bosom, could ever sufficiently understand. He was a bad debater, and, worse than that, he was the most nervous, hesitating and involved extem- pore speaker in the world. His sermons and discourses were always written, but he delivered them so well that very few would have guessed that he had manuscript before him. With his writ ing in his hand he was easy, vigorous and self-possessed; but when he had to speak extempore panic of fear shook him; he had neither ideas nor words, and he was completely lost.
 It was simply a question of nerves with him, and whenever he knew be- forehand that he was expected to speak extempore the strain upon him was crueller than man eau tell. The strain imposed now upon body weakened by the past years privations and anxiety could not have been crueller if he had been under sentence of death; and, in- deed, life or death seemed to his over wrought nerves to hang upon the issue. If he failed, and he feared he would fail, fail signally, for he did not doubt | but that the young and boisterous MT. Lloyd was without nerves, and was a glib and self-confdent talker-then Up ton was lost, and his wife was con- demned for Heaven alone knew how long to grievous poverty, and his child to a lingering death. If he succeeded - but he had no reason to hope be would-then Upton was won, and with it life and health and happiness for those he loved.
 It was Wednesday morning when he got the letter, and all that day he con. sidered, with Q frequent feeling o1 panic at the heart, and constant hut tering of the nerves, what he could pos sibly do to insure success. He thought he would write down something on the subject of the debate, and commit fl to memory. He had sat down ant written little, when he bethought him that he did not know when ht would be called upon to speak, nol whether he might not have to express ly answer some one. He threw dowI the pen and groaned in despair; ther'
 was nothing to be done; he must trus
 to the inspiration and self-possession o the moment.
 When he went to bed his sleep was ;
 succession of ghastly nightmares. H
 dreamt his wife and child were strug gling and choking in dark and slim, sea, that MT. Lloyd stood aloof uncor

LOOK aG nlm!" ne exclaimed once. "Isn't he jolly fellow? I do think he's capital fellow! Oh, yes, and he has a nice mind"
 It was all very depressing and sadden- ing to Mir. Murray though he appeared only to be very quiet. For he thought: "A large congregation like this of Upton must necessarily have more people like these Browns than like my friends of last Sunday; and it must, therefore, needs be that this MT. Lloyd-who has no harm in him, daresay, but who is little more than a rough, noisy, pre- sumptuous boy not long from school it must be that he should be preferred by the majority to me. I may as we'll, then, give up all hope of coming here. But what then of Mary and the boy the boy?"
 He was scarcely more satisfied with himself after the evening se1vice (though he held the attention again of a crowded congregation), and he went back to his lonely lodging with sore and doubting heart. He wrote, how ever, checrfully the thought) to his wife; but next day she replied to his letter and showed that his assumed cheerfulness had not deceived the watchful sense of love.
 "You are not in good spirits, my dear" she wrote; ''don't pretend you are. If you are not better to-day I shall come home to you, though little Jim Is beginning to show the benefit of the change
 "Poor little chap!" the father thought. "lIc is beginning to improve. They must not come back, and must not go down to them. My glum face would frirhtcn Mary, and should have to tell her all my fears. Besides, cannot af- ford it. Oh. that it might be settled I'm to go to Upton!"
 That was the refrain of his thoughts all that day. "Oh, that I might go to Upton!" It was a kind of prayer, and surely as worthy prayer, and spring ing from as pure and loving desire, as any prayer that Is uttered. He could do nothing more, however, to attain the desired end; he could only wait. Mon- day passed, and Tuesday, and still no word from Upton. On Wednesday came a letter from his first host-the chair man of committee. It contained little, but that little was charged with mean ing anxiety for the minister. Nothing, 1t declared. was yet absolutely decided; but on Thursday evening there was to be hrld d certain debate in the lecture room. in which it had been resolved that both MT. Murray and MT. Lloyd should be asked to take part.
 ''I am not officially instructed" con- tinued the writer, to say this to you, but I think I ought to tell you that there is a disposition among a good luany to form their final choice for you CT for MT. Lloyd on the conclusion of the debate"

wait for an answer, but hurried on In his loquacity. 'sI think woke them up. They need waking up, and I'll do it when I'm their minister"
 It clearly did not occur to him that his vis-a-vis might be minister instead; and Mir. Murray, in his exaggerated dread and humility, thought that the question who was to be minister must really have been settled before the young man left. MT. Murray said noth- ing, but that did not embarrass MT. Lloyd.
 ''I shall soon settle," he continued, '<the hash of some of those frightened old fogies who want things to go on in the old, humdrum way. It's fine place and magnificent chapel, and can be made popular cause; and I'll make 1t, too, when I'm among them. Good, rousing, popular stuff-that's the thing to make a success; don't you think so, Murray?"
 'No doubt," said Murray, scarce knowing or caring what he said in his bitterness and despair; ''only make noise enough"
 Young MT. Lloyd merely laughed boisterously, and MT. Murray only kept saying to himself: ''This Is the man who has robbed me of my chance, and my wife and child of health and happi- nessl But for this ignorant, conceited, and incompetent braggart I should be minister!'
 An incontrollable dislil1e-and in his nervous, overstrained condition, hatred even-rose in him against the young man.
 AS Lloyd went on with his ding dong, maddening talk, MT. Murray, | who could have cried aloud in his pain and despair of the loss he l believed he had endured, observed absently that the inner handle of the l door showed that the catch was open. The train slowed down, for some reason, in the middle of a tunnel, and Lloyd rose in his 1usty, boisterous way, | banged down the window, and looked out.
 ''These trains," quoth he, ''are con foundedly slow"
 | MT. Murray kept his eye on the brass handle of the door. It was dangerous position for MT. Lloyd; if he leaned too l heavily, or if the train went on with a | jerk, he was likely to be thrown out Should he warn him? Should he sayI 'Tal1e care, you may fall in your rash ness" Yet why did not the foolish, un- observant young man see for himself the condition of the door? l Still, the handle of the door fascinated the minister's eye, and he kept silence. At that moment the train started off again with jerk and n screech: the door 1 swung open, and Lloyd fell, and as the minister put out his hands and head to catch him, with horrified: 'OhI' he saw the fiery eye of a train rushing down upon him from the opposite direc- tion. It came on with thunderous roar and passed, and the minister sank back

CHAPTER W.
 He came to himself only outside the London terminus at which he had to ar rive, when the train drew up, and man came along for the collection of tickets. In half-dazed condition (which the ticket-collector probably considered intoxication), he surren- dcred his ticket without Q word, and then the train went on, and presently he was on the platform, stumbling out of the station on his way home, but no more in touch with the people and things he passed among than a man in a dream.
 What had he done? What had he done? To what depth of misery and infamy had he cast himself? It was i'm possible to sound the black bottom of it
 'I have slain a man to my wounding; young man to my hurt.'
 The old words rose in his mind un. bidden-rose and sank, rose and sank again. He felt that the young man must be lying crushed across those rails And it was his doing; he had not warned the young man of his danger; he had consented to his death, and, therefore, he had killed him! Oh, the horror! Oh, the pity of it
 When he reached his lonely lodging it was late, and he was dull and tired | He was conscious of having walked a long way round, and to and fro, but where he did not know. The strain was now off his nerves, and dull, dead misery was upon him. He mechanical | ly undressed, and went to bed and sank to sleep at once; but his sleep was un- refreshing; 1t was troubled all the night through with alarms and terrors, with screeching and roaring trains and falling bodies; and when in the morning he was fully awake, his misery settled upon him like dense fog of death.
 The morning postman brought let ter from his wife. She was in good spirits, and the boy was improving rap idly. Then tears-bitter, bitter tearsl came to his relief, and he sobbed in agony. What had possessed himf What fiend of anger and hate had en' tered into him to make him commit that deed? He was aghast at the atro cious possibilities of his own nature He felt as if he could not look in the face of his wife again, or again ven ture to take her in his arms. Would she not shrink from him with horror when she knew? And would not hi! boy-his little Jim!-when he grew uI (if he ever grew up) be ashamed O. the father who had so dishonored hi name?
 ''Oh, my God!" he cried, in his misery and grief. "Let me bear tho utmos punishment of my sin, but spare them Punish not the innocent with the guilty Let my dear wife and child live in peac' and honor before Theei"
 He could not eat morsel of break fast-he had scarcely tasted food O drink for two whole days-and h. could not rest in the lodgings. He wan dered out with his load of misery upol him. He was a man who seldom req the newspapers, and he did not think o buying one now, nor did 1t even occu to him to scan the contents-bills set out side the news-venders' shops. He mere ly wandered on and round, revolvin the horrible business that had brough him so low, and then he wandered bacl in the afternoon faint with exhaustion
 When he entered tho sitting-room h saw letter set for him on the mantcl xiace. It was from his friend af. linton
