Meanwhile the preacher plodded YEARLY BACK
again to the shelter OF the four bare walls no

slowly he climbed the creaking stairs and al
most staggered into the room. 1t was growing
dark. and the cold was intense. The preacher
sat down, and his eyes Involuntary sought tho

he had torn from the Bible. He bent over 1t and

was very cold. and the darkness seemed to come
closer every moment Perhaps II was only his
weakness that made ii seem dark and freez-
ing He thought Of jeff and his work with .
curious gadness that shut out the falling night
Then great WEAKNESS seized him. and he rose
and tried to cross the room. The darkness was
whirling round him now. and he fell his
knees beside the bed.
JEFF, coming in late that night to tell him Of
his success found him there kneeng beneath
the nail where tn, crucifix had hung He did
not answer when the little doctor called to him,
and a lighted match revealed the fact that he
had slipped from a world which had rejected
him a Of no account. The bare room
told silent story that brought tears into Jefrs
eyes
And in the dead preachers hand was a piece
OF crumpled paper. upon which was written
John Allingham Taylor" and a date-that
all
In a certain church on the following morning
the Rev John Allingham TAYLOR preached to
the great OBLIGATION Of his audience and himself.
It was charity sermon. and II Is popularity
supposed to have been the finest thing which
that congregation had sat out for some time.
But JEFF. who occasionally attended that
sembly. rose in the middle Of the discourse and
went out with heart full Of bitterness Those
studied periods did not edify him. He remem-
bered a finer serm"r-and it's text mans
life It was that Of the priest who had preached
without due authority.

You're brick" said Jeff. as he turned on
his heel. Then the professional element in him
asserted Itself. Have something to eat before
you come out into this cold again, mind" he
commanded
The preacher nodded and went away with a
dreary smile on his face Perhaps there was
hidden irony in the situation which he alone
could perceive. for he smiled more than once as
ne hurried through the darkening streets to the
house where he had harborage. Once as he
passed a lighted church where the choir was
practising for the morrow and his eyes fell on
The notice board the smile very nearly became
a laugh. Yet there nothing laughabe in
sight. The notice-board merely bore the suffi-
GENTLY sober information that the Rev. John
Allingham Taylor would preach next day in
that church.
The preacher hurried on, and climbed to his
rooms with a white face and futterng breath
Arrived there he sat down on a broken chair
and painted. The room almost as bare as
those cells wherein the hermits dwelt of old
All the little pers ,nal possessions which had
adorned it once had vanished in that dreadful
winter All the lit lie money which had been
paid 10 the preacher by the family which had
discarded him was gone. The only two things
which remained were a large and Handsomely
bound Bible. lying the foot Of the bed and
a little ivory crucifx hanging against the bare
wall. The preachers eye fell on these and he
sighed. Then he got up reSOlutely. took down
the crucifiX. and opened the Bible. On the fly
leaf was inscription He tore the page care
fully out and slipped IL into the breast pocket OF
his thin coat Then he took up the Bible and

Not an hour later JEFF, in a wretched attic
bent over n shrurkcn figure and forced brandy
between It's lips. At the further end OF the
room two chHdren-small. starved. wolfsh-eyed
sat over the remnants Of a meal like wild
beasts a bone. Presently the little doctor
gave a muttcred exclamation Of relief. The chill

The girl looked cautiously about gazed at the
array in the window of the shop and walked on

who had spoken before. She will look around
again, and, when she thinks no one sees her.

The girl had turned on the corner and was
retracing her steps. Sure enough. she paused
before the open door, looked up and down the
street and went in. Five minutes later she
came out and walked rapidly away.
II don't know how can tell them. but can
invariably pick them out. Never been known to
fail. Say d'you that fellow coming up The

He was quite aware that the book had not been
picked up secondhand, but he did not even

think the skeleton sidled little closer to the
cupboard door. II Is thing which all skeletons
will do at times
The two men sat down at the table and began
their supper. They did not talk much at first
but presently JEFF pushed back his chair and
glanced across at the preacher.
II told you lie just now" he said.
The preacher looked up. and the two men s
eyes met

SIR ARTHTR STLLITAN.

Sir Arthur Sul'ivan's face Is familiar TO the
American public chiefly from pictures repre-
senting him as rather a young man. with very
dark hair and mustache, he appeared about
twenty or more years ago. at the beginning OF
his long series Of popular successes with oper~
eta. But Sir Arthur Sullivan to-day, as he Il
shown by the likeness printed In The Tribune,
is an elderly. gray-haired man. looking rather
more like prosperous banker in the city than
one Of the most fertile and ingenious musicians
that England possesses. The Queens Jubilee
brought Sir Arthur Sullivan again prominently
before the public by his Jubilee hymn, which
was reprinted in The Tribune week ago. and
also by his ballet "Victoria and Merrie Eng

A UNITED FAMILY.

Lord Monkswell in The North American Review.
The value attached by the poor. and even BY
those who are not in the depths of poverty, to
decent surroundings in family life is very
variable quantity. Decent lodging is not by any
means universally regarded as one Of the prime
necessaries of life Occasionally ii is reegated
to quite back seat.
An instance was given before the Commission
of a family of seven persOnS-father, mother. two
grown-up sons, and three grown-up daughters
all living in room With them this arrange
nent was matter Of choice, not necessity, for
they earned between them about Il week
more than $3.50 a year-and even from slum
landlord they could no doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two. Having screwed
down the item OF rent to an irreducible mini
mum they determined to have a thoroughly good
time and this is how the witness describes their
nroceedings: in the evening they would all go

Saturday afternoon they would take five tickets
