and gathered up the lines to go or
again, young Barton spoke.

There was silence, and Malcom gath

The day was very still, and there was
a great cloud coming up in the south
west which promised rain before night.

it, Mr.. Kirk"

He went back to Conrad and faced
the situation there with COURAGEOUS
heart and an outward cheerfulness for
Dorothy's sake more than anything
else. There was no attempt on the
part of either of them to disguise the
fact that the prospect before them was
one that would try all their Christian
courage and faith. The winter was
coming on, the crops had been almost
a total failure owing to the hot winds,
and the little Doom of which Wilson
had spoken in his letter had collapsed,
leaving the town in a wrecked condi-
tion financially. The fields that had
been planted to corn stood dry and
hard, unfit for fall plowing, and even
the storm that broke over the town
that night was only local and had no
farreaching result on the general situa-
ton.

She went to the door and stepped
out on the little porch. 1t was after 10
O'Clock and frosty night. Down the

Dorothy. For the first time in her life
She knew that she was poor. Malcom
Kirk had never known anything else.
Poverty was heritage to him, and
while 1t was full of discomfort and pri-
walton it had no terror. But Dorothy
had for the first time on coming TO
that Home Missionary field felt the
touch of grim and stern economy. Her
little dowry saved from the wreck Of
her fathers failure had been added to
Malcom's small salary, but the illness
or the baby and the constant calls on
their help from various sources had
eaten into this little fund, and 1t was
gone. Dorothy's aunt would gladly
have helped, but her own resources
were shortened by business failures
within the three years that Dorothy
had been west Now the loss of the
parsonage with nearly everything 1t
contained was added to all the rest.

evening after he had been to "The
