any Scotch lass in Ardeer. There was
striking resemblance in many ways
to Francis Raleigh's beauty. 1t might
have been due to the similarity in
training and in tastes. The New Eng
land type of Independent morally calm,
but thoroughly interested activity was
well represented in Dorothy Gilbert.
Her father sat beside her, dignified,
carefully dressed man of 55, iron gray
hair and mustacile, a successful book
publisher, with beautiful home in
Hermon and business in Boston. Dor
othy was the only child at home. She
had graduated a year before at North
hampton and was now taking a spe-
cial course i'll music, going to the city
three days in the week.
She did not attempt to reason with
herself about the interest she felt in
Malcolm Kinks appearance. Theo-
logues in general We're mildly stupid
creatures to her. She had been born
and brought in Hermon and classed
the theologues as a part of the fauna
and flora of the town, but her interest
had never gone any further than that.
She had met Malcolm Kirk several
times during his three years. course.
Once sue had sat by him at dinner
given by her father. to the class. She
had found him an interesting talker
and was surprised when she thought it
over afterward. His homely hair, his
shyness, his remarkable awkwardness,
had amused her. She had laughed a
little with her father about something
that happened at the table. But she
could not help listening to him today
with added interest as he went on.
Was it the voice? There was some
thing very winning insit. There was
none Of the Yankee, New England ma
sal tone about it. 1t was full and deep
and suggested an organ pipe exactly
tuned.
Like Francis Raleigh, she seemed to
lose all vital interest in the morning s
programme when Kirk finished While
the next speaker was on the platform
she turned her head to look over the

little. AT the same time no one could
detect trace of i'll humor or lack Of

people was that of downright sincerity.

ger this impression grew.

"Well, think it's shame, as said,''

church repeated. "The churches think
more of the way man dresses and be-

what he says. And they criticise ev-

There was silence again. The class

A DEATH In M1pocEAM

A DEATH IN MIDOCEAN
When Malcom Kirk entered the lit
tie cabin room to which the steward
led him, he found the assistant surgeon
of the steamer bending over the figure
In the berth there.
A woman was sitting near by.
The surgeon rose and beckoned Kirk
to,step outside a moment.
"You are clergyman?"
Kirk nodded. E
The surgeon looked at him as doubt-
fully as the steward had done, but he
seemed satisfied at last. n

said: "He had no right. But why did

Kirk was part of her memory now
She had not time to ask what it might
all mean. One moment she laughed,
then she grew serious. then she tulned
and played the "Traumerei'' again.
then she wheeled about and said to
herself with a short laugh: The idea, =

at him." But nevertheless she felt the
impossibility of laughing at Malcolm
Kirk any more No true woman ever
laughs at the honest love of man, no
matter how poor or Enattractiye he
may be, and Dorothy Gilbert was q
true woman at heart.
AS for Malcolm Kirk. lie went on

with a feeling that was almost content.
| 1t is true he felt little uneasy to

| plainly that he loved her. But. then,
/ he was sure. it had done no harm. It
was the truth. and, besides. when he
came back would he return he picture
without word? Might he not claim
4 the right to keep it always?
He scarcely pretended to answer
this question. He found his way to his
room in the Intermediate cabin and
came out on the deck again. AS the
steamer went down the harbor he (
| thoughtfully reviewed his course and
| looked out into the new life before him
| with quiet hope.
| 1t was 10 o'clock when he went down
{ TO his room. AS he proceeded to ar
range his few effects in the little apart
ment called cabin one of the stew
ards came by. There We're two or
three other men sitting at the table in
the dining and lounging room.
ANY of you clergyman?" asked
the steward.
No one answered, and Kirk after
moment stepped out and said: "I'm a
clergyman. What is wanted?'
/ The steward looked little doubtful
| ~ at the long, unattractive figure.
There's woman down aft here in
| poor way. She wants some one to pray
with her."
.'I'll co." said Kirk quietly, and he
followed the steward, not knowing as
he went that this, his first ministry Of
service, was to prove one of the most
remarkable events in his eventful life.
Meanwhile the steamer had reached
the limits Of the harbor. The great
ocean now lay wide and solemn before
sher, and the lookout on the forward
deck was saying to himself, ITS going
to be beautiful night"
On the promenade deck two men
were pacing up and down.
But how did 1t happen, Raleigh,
that you took passage on the CunaTd

They turned in front of the music
room, and the light fell on Francis RAJ
leigh's fnce. 1t was at this moment
that Malcolm Kirk down in the inter-
mediate cabin kneeled to pray. The
lookout on the bow was saying, I'VE

chapel, and her eyes met those of Fran
els Raleigh. He smiled, and she re-
turned the smile, while slight color
deepened on her face. And he thought
to himself it was certainly more inter-
esting to glance now and then at face
like Dorothy Gilbert's than to stare
steadily at tall. solemn young man
on the platform who was talking about
the Philosophy Of the Prophetic Idea"
and its evolution in the Old Testament.
The programme was finished at last,
and the friends of the graduates lin
gered about the platform congratulate
ing the different speakers. Very many
Of the visitors came, up and warmly
greeted Kirk. Among them was one
alert, active. middle aged man who
said he wanted to see Kirk especially
on matter of Importance. So the two
went up to Kirk S room, and the stran-
ger explained his business briefly.
CHAPTER II.
KIRK RECEIVES HIS SECOND CALL AND

"I'm superintendent Of missions for
Kansas. l want you to take church

been looking for. Don't say No. for l

Kirk looked at the superintendent
thoughtfully. Was this the second call
he had mentioned?

need Of the training abroad"
"All right. Go on with that. But
there's q church that will be ready for
you at the end of your year there. It's
in the growing town Of Conrad and a
great opening for hard work. The
man there now will leave at the end Of
the year."
Kirk said nothing. He looked out of
his window. Right across the campus
stood the beautiful residence Of Doro-
>thy Gilbert's father. 1t was not the
first time he had looked in that direc-
ton.
"Of course" continued the superin-
tendent brisl1ly, you understand the
church is home missionary church

They can raise perhaps $500 or possi-
bly, $3.50. The society will grant 5000
or $3.50. You could count on about
$500 probably"
Kirk was silent. He turned his head
away from the window and glanced
around his room. The shabby backed
books, the simple pieces Of furniture,
the faded carpet, the meager furnish
ings, all smote him keenly. 1t was not
the first time his poverty had thrust it
self upon him coarsely, but he seemed
to feel it more deeply than ever. AS
he faced the superintendent who was
waiting for reply Kirk had most

In view of the extremely critical con

Of our own people, a large number of
Americans including many refugees from
interior parts, met in general meeting
here on July 13 and passed the incosed
resolutions.
I'VE strongly feel the necessity of
awakening the great mass of our fellow
citizens to the extreme peril to which
their kindred are being subjected in this
empire.
Before peace shall have been finally
restored hundreds of our people will have
been offered UP as sacrifices, not men
only, who may die valorous death upon
the field of BATTLE but women and chill
dren, who. in their dcfenscless condition,
will, and possibly have already, become
the victims of horrible insults, indigni-
ties and tortures, finding relief only in
| death.
TO prevent and. if that is impossible,
as we very greatly fear, check this
outrage on civilization we appealed 70
our fellow citizens on the 18Th inst. This
is no ordinary warfare. Our people at
home Should comprehend that there + no
