Mrs. Warren was evidently moved by
Golding's eloquence. There was the ring
of interse carnestnessif not ingenious sin
certify In his tones, and the situation was
one that could not fail to appeal to a
wcman's sympathies. So far as that was
concerned Mrs. Warren's sympathies were
ever sensitive to distress. She was the
best loved woman in all Granite. and her
kindness was famous throughout the bet
ter part of the county.
There was a moment of silence when
Goldlng stopped speaking, and he waited
with growing confidence for her reply to
his appeal. for he could see that he had
touched her heart.
''Mr. Golding." she said in an almost in
audible voice, this is one OF the most pain
full and unhappy moments of my life.

house l cannot permit anybody to attend

in her own house; or what avail or con

manner of pressure upon her. The trav-

CHAPTER VI.-DR. NASON'S HORSE.
Mrs. Warren rose with an expression of
alarm. There was something in GoldinS s
tone more than his abrupt entrance. that
BODIED trouble.
Her husband stood with the vest in his
hand one instant irresolute. Then, as
Cooling advanced determinedly toward him.
he seemed on the point of resisting, for 1t
was the travellers unmistakabe intention
TO wrest the garment from him by force;
but just as Golding came close to him. MI.
Warren glanced a: his wife. saw her COM
irg quickly around the bed to interpose
between them. and he calmly passed the
vest to Golding.
Look it over, if you want to-" he said,
ird!fferenty.
Golding snatched the garment and step
ped back a pace, keeping his eyes fixed
fercely upon Warren for moment. Then
he hastily ran his fingers through the
pockets, and the instant he lowered his
eyes to his search Warren Slipped some
thing that he had not dared to look at
from his half-clenched hand to fancy
work catch. all hanging on the wall beside
him. Golding did not notice this action,
and it escaped Mrs. Warren's eyes, for at

He paused an instant. Mrs. Warren was
standing with one trembling hand upon the
footboard OF the bed, and her eyes were
filed with tears.

fearful OF further tragedy.

time TO transfer its contents to your own

Warren returned his angry look with a
con:emDtuous smile.
''You think to beat met snarled the
traveller. as he threw the vest upon the
floor, "and perhaps you will. but if | had
you ill the bush. or even out on your own
road, you wouldn't defy me long"
Warren frowned and was about TO speak
when Golding suddenly changed his tone
and addressed Mrs. Warren.
Il beg thousand pardons, madam. he
said. Il am using language that l would
not use if l could control my temper bet
ter. Please do not be alarmed. DO rot
intend to do your husband any violence.
Its well enough to talk that way, re-
marked Warren, but l should he ready to

wife hasn't any fears for me-

"wfat does this mean?'

claims a right to Freeman buttons be-

pockets of his clothes inside out one after

process until every pocket had been turned.
He looked on as greedily as If he really ex-
pected to see diamonds produced by the

How long the quarrel might have contn-

the men might have brought them even in
the presence of Mrs. Warren and her
daughter, it is needless to inquire; for at
this point they were interrupted by the
arrival of DR.. Mason, VINO VIII had found

was sometimes called to distinguish it from

Il stopped over Sunday in all Ohio town

downtown hotel lobby to another drum
mer and Star reporter, land one of my
customers asked me to go TO church with
him and see what an enterprisinS congre-
CATION could do in town too small to af-
| ford high-class pulpit talent. He explain
ed that the congregation had tried two or
| three ministers with no satisfaction, and
| had at last called to their assistance the
| talent of the country, and were now quite
well pleased. He wouldn't tell me how it
| had been DONE but when the singing was
over and it was time for the prayer, an
officer of the church arose and prayed, and
| then making the announcements for the
! week, informed the congregation that they
would now listen to sermon by DR.. Tai
mage. l wondered where the doctor was.
| because he was not visible, but the mys-
terry was cleared away when the officer
touched a button and 1 began 20 hear the
| familiar whirr of photograph. In a sec
ond or SO the well-known tones of DIR. Tai
mage issued from the funnel of a phono-
graph behind a small screen on the pulpit
| desk, and for the next half hour We sat
| and listened to sermon delivered in the
doctors best style, and almost as satisfac-
| tory as tine genuine thing when one shut
| his eyes and imagined the speaker was in
| the pulpit, When the sermon was over, the
officer, elder or deacon, or whatever he
| was, offered a prayer. gave out hymn
| and closed the services.
MY friend informed me later that in
| this way they had the sermons of the best
known preachers in the country, and at
| such an expense to enable them to make
| liberal allowance for the poor of the
church and still not come hard on the con-
gregation."
The other drummer pulled up his collar
and shook himself.
Il had a similar experience" he said.
| "only it was different Mine was in an IL
| linois town, and there wasn't any phono-
graph in 1t. The congregation, though.
wanted better sermons than they could pay
