crisis Of his Christian life in the min.

him
CHAPTER TX.
Master. + viii follow thss whithersoever thou
goest.
The Saturday matinee at the Audi.
forum in Chicago was just over. and
the usual crowd was struggling to get
! to its carriage before any one else. The
Auditorium attendant was shouting out
the number Of different carriages, and
the carriage doors were slamming as
the horses were driven rapidly to the
| curb, held there impatient BY the
drivers, who had shivered long in the
raw east wind, and then let 80 to
| plunge for few minutes into the river
Of vehicles that tossed under the ele-
waited railway and finally went whirling
of up the avenue
"Now. then, GAL" shouted the Au-
ditorium attendant. "Six hundred and
twenty-four" he repeated as there
dashed up to the curb splendid span
| Of black horses attached to carriage
having the monogram &C. r. S" in
gilt letters on the panel Of the door:
Two girls stepped out of the crowd
toward the carriage The older one had
entered and taken her seat, and the at
tendant was still holding the door open
for the younger. who stood hesitating
on the curb
"Come, Feliciai, What are you wait
ing fort I shall freeze to DEATH" called
the voice from the carriage
The girl outside of the carriage hast
lily unpinned q bunch of English violets
from her dress and handed them to
small boy who was standing shivering
on the edge Of the sidewalk, almost
under the horses feet. He took them
with look Of establishment and
THANK ye, ladyl" and instantly buried
very grimy face in the bunch Of per-
fume. The girl stepped into the car
riage. the door shut with the incisive
bang peculiar to well made carriages of
this sort, and in q few moments the
coachman was speeding the horses rap
idly up one Of the boulevards.
"You are always doing some queer
thing or other, Felicia. said the older
girl as the carriage whirled on past the
great residences already brilliantly
lighted.
IAN l.? What have I done that is
queer now. RoseP" asked the other,
looking up suddenly and turning her
head toward her sister.
"Oh. giving those violets to that boyl
He looked as if he needed good hot
supper more than a bunch of violets
It's wonder you didn't invite him
home with us. shouldn't have been
surprised if you had You are always
doing such queer things. Felicia
"Would it be queer to invite boy
like that to come to tho house and -get
q hot supperF' Felicia asked the ques-
tion softly and almost as If she were
alone.
"Queer isn't just the word. Of
course. :" replied Rose indiferently. 1T
would be what Nine Blanc calls outre
decidedly. Therefore you Will please
not invite him or others like him to hot
suppers because I suggested it. Oh
dearl I'm swfully tired
She yawned, and Felicia silently
looked out Of the window in the door,
THE concert was stupid, and the
violinist was simply bore. don tsee
how you could sit 80 still through it
ALL" Rose exclaimed, a little impa-
tiently:
"1nked the music. " answered Felicia
quietly.
"You like anything. never saw
girl with 80 little critical taste
Felicia colored slightly, but would
not answer. Rose yawned again and
then hummed q fragment Of q popular
song: Then she exclaimed abruptly:
I'm sick Of almost everything. /
hope the Shadows Of London will be
exciting tonight
The Shadows of Chicagol MUIR
INJURED Felicia
-" The Shadows Of Chicagor The
Shadows of London. the play. tho great
drama with its wonderful scenery, the
sensation of New York for two months
You know we have box with the De-
lanos tonight
Felicia turned her face toward her
sister. Her great brown eyes were very
expressive and not altogether free from
q sparkle Of luminous heat.
"And yet we never weep over the
real thing on the actual stage Of life.
What are the shadows of London on the
stage to the shadows Of London or Chi
cago as they really exist1 Why don't
we get excited over the facts as they
are3"
Because the actual people are dirty
and disagreeable and it's too much
bother. I suppose. replied Rose care
lessly. Felicia, you never can reform
the world What's the use1 We're not
to blame for the poverty and misery
There have always been rich and poor.
and there always will be. We ought to
be thankful we're rich."
''suppose Christ had gone on that
principle" replied Felicia with m
usual persistence. 'Do you remember
DR.. Bruce's sermon on that verse q few
Sundays ago. For ye know the grace
Of our Lord Jesus Christ. that, though
he was rich. yet for our sakes he be-
came poor, that ye through his poverty
