Mrs. Martin reached her place of con-
cealment and cave sdropping just in
time to hear the physician dismiss Nay
Tor on some pretext, in order that he
might be alone with his patient; and
then she heard Shirley Austin's door
close softly as the nurse left the room.

moredly. "Now, fire away. I'll answer
as fast as you question:"
well, first how comes it that find
you in New York, when I last saw you
in the wilds of Australian"
Mrs. Martin could not see the warm
flush that rose to the young physicians
cheek, but she heard the tremor in his
voice as he answered.:
because I couldn't stand it. AS long
as we We're in the same country could
not keep away from that girl. It was
no matter that she W5s in Melbourne
while I was in the interior of the coun-

ran away from her. I came here; but

'What question! Do you love Cler-

face answers for you. Even so love
Adele Lingard.
.'But Clarice loves meat least she
flowed me once" Shirley interrupted, in
a voice of great sadness.
Eyes; and Adele loved me once-at
least, she said SO, and that served the
purpose while she said it. I can never
forget that have held her in my arms
that I have heard the beating Of her
heart as it pulsed against my own
that my lips have felt her kisses in re-

where I had bade adieu to Clarice the
Mowbrays were there no longer. They

The bell stopped. and little harmon

accompanied by one Of his deacons the
predlkant himself entered and ascended
the pulpit. The organ walled itself to
sleep. and the predikant adjusted his
glasses.
NO NAMES.
There were spirit and life In the
hymns, many Of which were sung With
out as much as a glance at the book,

In his prayers he did not refer by name

did not refer directly to Sir Alfred Mil

all the passion he could command he
called Tor vengeance on the false coun-
