ing the brief scene in the hall she had clung to Virginia so hard that Vir- ginia' arm was sore from the clutch of the girl s fingers.
 Virginia did not know whether her grandmother would Ieave tho house. CT not. She had abundant means of her own, was perfectly well and vigorous and capable of caring for herself She had sisters and brothers living in ths south and was in the habit of spending several weeks in the year with them. Virginia WAS not anxious about her welfare, so far as that went, but the in- terview had been a painful one to her. Going over it. as she did in her room before she went down to tea, she found little cause for regret, however. s'What would Jesus do ?'' There was no ques- tion in Firginia's s mind that she had done the right thing If she had made mistake, it was one of the judgment and not of the heart. When the bell rang for tea, she went down, and her grandmother did not appear She sent 8 servant to her room, and the servant brought back word that Mime Page was not there A few minutes later Rollin came ill. He brought word that his grandmother had taken the evening train for the south He had been at the station to see some friends off and had by chance met his grandmother as he was coming out. Sine told him her reason fer going.
 Virginia and Rollin confronted each f4+J4 cf fE {of 1osk faces.

 And SC Bollin eo4nforted Virginia and connseled with her that evening, and of all the wonderful changes that Nir- ginia was henceforth to know on &C., count of her great pledge nothing af feeted her so powerfully as the thought of Rollin change in life. Truly, this man in Christ was new creature. Old things were passed away. Behold, all things in him had become newt
 Dr. West came that evening at Vir- ginia' summons and did everything necessary for the outcast. She had drunk herself almost into delirium. The best that could be done for her now were quiet nursing and careful watch ing and personal love. So in beauti- ful room, with picture of Christ walking by the sea hanging on tho wall, where her bewildered eyes caught daily something more of it's hidden meaning, Loreen lay, tossed she hardly knew how into this haven. and Yir- ginia crept nearer the Master than sbe had ever been as her heart went out to- ward this wreck which had thus been fiung torn and beaten at her feet
 Meanwhile the Rectangle waited the issue of the election with more than usual interest. and Gray and his wife wept over the pitiable creatures who, after struggle with surroundings that ] daily tempted them. too often wearied Of the struggle, and, like Loreen, threw up their arms and went whirling into the boiling abyss of their previous con dition
 The after meeting at the First church was now regularly established. Henry 1 Maxwell went into the lecture room on l the Sunday succeeding the week of the primary and was greeted with an en- thJsiasm that made him tremble at first 1 for its reality. He noted again the ab- seence of Jasper Chase, but all the oth CTS were present.. and they seemed i drawn very close together by bond of common fellowship that demanded and enjoyed mutual condolences It was the general feeling that the spirit of Jesus was a spirit of very open, frank comics sion of experience. 1t seemed the most natural thing in the world for Edward Norman to be telling all the rest of the company about the details of his news paper.
