The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1900-07-14

IN tue audience tltt morning tucFe
were also two other persons who paid
close attention 10 Kirk while he was
speaking. One Of these was young
man nearly Kinks age. with face and
manner that spoke OF the most sensi-
tive, refined breeding. Ii was the face
of dreamer-dark eyes, waving dark
hair. handsome features. thin. delicate,
curved lips and the hands Of an artist.
His clothes were made OF the finest
material and bore the stamp of that
unconscious gentlemanly feeling which
always goes with a man who has oil
his life been used 10 expensive detnils.
AS he snt there listening 10 Malcolm
Kirk this morning Francis Raleigh
was attracted by the voice OF the
speaker. lie had listened 10 the others
with a conventional interest that did
not mean anything 10 him. He started
the moment that Kirk spoke the first
word and fastened his look upon him
until he WINS through. lie then re-
sumed his previous attitude OF mild In
difference TO the programme.
The other person who followed Kinks
speech with especial interest was a
young woman who sat I'm that part Of
the church reserved for the trustees OF
the seminary and their families. IL is
said that the young women who work
In the nitroglycerin and dynamite es-
tablishment at Ardeer, Scotland, have
the most perfect compilations In the
world, owing 10 the nature OF the Pc
culiar materials they handle and
breathe. Ii is very certain that Doro-
thy Gilbert had never lived or worked
in any more explosive atmosphere than
that OF her own intense energy, but her
face would fairly have rivaied that Of
any Scotch lass In Ardecr There was
striking resemblance IN many ways
20 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 81. iron gray
hair and mustache. a successful book
publisher, with beautiful home In
Hermon and business in Boston. Dor
othy was the only child mt home. She
had graduated year before mt North
hampton and was now taking n spe-
cial course in music. going 10 the city
three days in the week.
She did not attempt TO reason with
herself about the interest she felt i'm

creatures to her. She had been born
and brought up In Hermon and classed
the theologucs as part of the fauna
and fora OF the town, but her interest
had never gone any further than That.
She bad met Malcolm Kirk several
times during his three years course,
Once she had sat by him NJ q dinner
given by her father to the class. she
had found him nm interesting talkcr
and was surprised when she thought II
over afterward. Ills homely hair. his
shyness, his remarkable nwkwardncss
had amused her. She had laughed a
little with her father about something
that happened Mt the table. But she
could not help listening 10 him today
with added interest as he went on.
Was II the voice? There was some.
thing very winning In H. There was
none OF the Yankee. New England mn
sal tone about IL. 1t was full and deep
and suggested an organ pipe exactly
tuned.
Like Francis Raleigh, sho seemed 70
