tnab ne was utterly DeWlldereu. lt
reminded him of the dainty little den
In which younger sister who was
now no more-had slept. There were
photographs scattered about and
heaps of silken and lacey things, the
uses of which he was most woefplly
ignorant. He turned his head; what
strange feeling he had such dizzy,
sickening sensation. He raised his
hand and looked at It, Surely those
were not his fingers such long, thin,
white hands belonged only to women
and invalids. He felt of his face; his
cheeks were sunken and his features
seemed strangely sharp and thin.
"What lucky. dog l am," he
mused, "to fall into such good hands.
can fancy what pleasant time /
would have had had l been taken ill
alone in that barn of q room on the
third floor.
For some time he wondered where
he had been when the sickness came
on him, and after awhile he recollect-
ed the mission, with its bleary eyed
congregation and enthusiastic leaders.
He even thought OF the slender little
figure at the organ and wondered
vaguely if she had been the one who
had cared for end nursed him.
His reverie was interrupted by voices
just outside the door. They were talk
ing about him. What was that he
heard? He had been sick with fever
and his mind deranged for several
weeks? He looked again at his ghast-
ly hands and knew that the words
were true.
The door opened and woman came
toward the bed. Her hands were filed
with medicine bottles and as she drew
nearer she stopped to read the direc-
tions. Tom Farrow looked at her with
amazement. Could he believe his
eyes Was this woman, who had
guided him through dangerous i'll
ness, his old friend Miriam Halliday?
Yes, it was indeed her.
While he was looking SO intently
into her face she raised her eyes and
saw that he was smiling.
The medicine fell from her hands
with crash and she gasped happily:
"Oh, Tom, I am SO glad you are bet
ter! I'm SO glad, SO glad!"
"Did 1 come near croaking for
sure?" he questioned.
"You nearly died, if that is what
yen mean. You poor, dear fellow,
such sas you've hadl Brother

pause, he added: "How did you hap

sat the MISSION" she answered.
"I play the organ there, and it was /
who discovered that you were i'll. I
had you brought here to our home,
and father says it is the first good re-
suit of my charitable work"
"You might extend the good deed,
and kiss me-" Tom whispered. And
she did.
From that moment Tom Farrow's
luck changed. Through the influence
of Miriam's father he eventually found
a good situation, and, in due course
of time, there was quiet wed ding and
Tom was made the happiest man in the
world.
And, besides all this, those scorned
manuscripts were finally accepted.
