saloon furnishes material to be saved
faster than the settlement or residence
or rescue mission work can save it.
Virginia suddenly rose and raced the
hall. Rachel answered sadly and yet
with note of hope in her voice:
1T is true; but, oh, Virginia, what
= wonderful amount Of happiness and
power can come out of this money! And
the saloon cannot always remain here.
The time must come when the Christian
force in the city will triumph"
Virginia paused near Rachel. and hex
pale, earnest face lighted up
II believe that too The number of
those who have promised to do as Jesus
would is increasing. II we once have,
say. 500 such disciples in Raymond,
the saloon is doomed. But now. dear,

shall have the best of opportunity in

Before Virginia had ceased speaking
Rachel's face was perfectly transfgured
with the thought of her life work. 1t
flowed into her heart and mind like a
flood, and the torrent of her feeling
overfOwed in tears that could not be
restrained. 1t was what she had dreamed
Of doing herself. 1t represented to her
something that she felt was in keeping
with a right use of her own talent.
"Yes, she said as she rose and put her
arms about Virginia. while both girls
in the excitement Of their enthusiasm
paced the hall-"yes, I will gladly put
my life into that kind of service. do
believe that Jesus would have me use
my life in this way. Virginia. what
miracles can we not accomplish with
humanity if we have such lever as
consecrated money to move things
withr'
add to it consecrated personal en-
thusiasm like yours. and 1t certainly
can accomplish great things" said Vir-
ginia. smiling, and then before Rachel
could reply Rollin came in. He hesitat-
ed a moment and was passing out of
the hall into the library when Virginia
called him and asked some questions
about his work.
Rollin came back and sat down, and
together the three discussed their future
plans. Rollin was apparently entirely
free from embarrassment in Rachel's
presence while Virginia was with them
only his manner with her was almost
precise, II not cold. The past seemed to
be entirely absorbed in his wonderful
conversion. He had not forgotten it,
but he seemed to be completely caught
up for this present time in the purpose
Of this new life.
After awhile Rollin was called out,
and Rachel and Virginia began to talk
of other things.
"By the way. what has become Of
Jasper Chaser"
Virginia asked the question inno-
Gently enough, but Rachel blushed, and
Virginia added. with smile: II sup
pose he is writing another book. Is he
going to put you into this one, Racheli
You know always suspected Jasper
Chase Of doing that very thing in his
FIRST story"
"Virginia"-Rachel spoke with the
frankness that had always existed be-
tween the two friends-"Jasper Chase
told me the other night that he-in fact
-he proposed to me-or he would if'-
Rachel stopped and sat with her
hands clssped on her lap, and there
were tears in her eyes.
Virginia, I thought little while
ago that / loved him, as he said he
loved me, but when he spoke my heart
felt repelled, and I said what I ought
10 have said. told him no. ! have not
ueem him since. That was the night Of
the first conversions at the Rectangle."
~ am glad for you." said Virginia
