and the bishop pushed open the door,
from behind which came the sound of a |
carpenters plane. 1t was small but !
well equipped carpenters shop. A
young man with paper cap on his
head and clad in blouse and overalls
was whistling and driving the plane as
he whistled. He looked up as the bishop
and Felicia entered and took off his cap.
As he did SO his little finger carried
small curling shaving up to his hair,
and it caught there.
"Miss Sterling, Mr.. Stephen Clyde,
said the bishop. "Clyde is one OF our
helpers here two afternoons in the
week"
Just then the bishop was called up
stairs, and he excused himself for mo-
ment, leaving Felicia and the young
carpenter together.
"We have met before, " said Felicia.

bishop says" replied the young man,
and his fingers trembled little as they
lay on the board he had been planning.

very glad to see you"
"Are your" The flush Of pleasure
mounted to the young carpenter 8 fore

trouble since-thenr r' he said, and then
he was afraid he had wounded her or
called up painful memories, but Felicia
had lived over all that

are working heref"
'It is long story, Miss Sterling.
Ny father lost his money, and was
obliged to go to work, very good thing
for me. The bishop says I ought to be
grateful I am. am very happy now.
I learned the trade hoping some time
to be of use. am night clerk at one OF
the hotels That Sunday morning when

Just then the bishop came back, and
very soon he and Felicia went away,
leaving the young carpenter at his work
Some one noticed that he whistled loud
er than ever as he planned.
'sFelicia," said the bishop, "did you
know Stephen Clyde beforef"
"Yes, back in the world, dear bishop.
He was one of my acquaintance in
Nazareth Avenue church.
"Ahr' said the bishop.
"We were very good friends, +" added
Felicia.
"But nothing moreH" the bishop ven
tured to ask.
Felicia's face glowed for an instant.
Then she looked the bishop in the eyes
frankly and answered:
"Tru1y and truly, nothing more"
''It would be just the way of the
world for those two people to come to

bishop to himself, and somehow the
thought made him grave 1t was al
most like the old pang over Camilla,
but it passed, leaving him afterward,
when Felicia had gone back, with tears
in his eyes and feeling that was al
most hope that Felicia and Stephen
would like each other. "After all, said
the bishop, like the sensible, good man

The week following the bishop had
an experience that belongs to this part
of the settlements history.
He was coming back to the settle
ment very late from some gathering of
the striking tailors and was walking
along, with his hands behind him,
when two men jumped out from behind
an old fence that shut off an abandoned
factory from the street and faced him
One of the men thrust pistol into the
bishops face, and the other threatened
him with ragged stake that had evil

"Hold up your hands, and be quick

The place was solitary, and the bishop
had no thought of resistance. He did as
he was commanded, and the man with
the stake began to go through his pock-

did not quiver. AS he stood there with
his arms uplifted an ignorant spectator
might have thought that he was pray

he was, and his prayer was singularly
answered that very night.
