than the poor. They need to be taught
their duties and privileges. The hall
will be built. but it shall be called the
Hall of Humanity. 1t shall be dedi-
Gated to the entire community, and
whatever is said or preached or sung
in it shall be for the union of men,
for their good as members of the hui
man family. Every unselfsh. Christ
like word and deed we can think of
shall be given a place within its walls.
Oh, I've done some thinking since |
began to get we'll! But first to the
house building. Rhena, you can help
us in the details of this important
work"
Stuart never spoke a truer word.
Rhena entered into the plans for the
building with all her enthusiasm. She
outlined the most satisfactory and SEN
sible arrangement for the structure of
the new houses, and during the next
few weeks she was the life of the
project, her great common sense and
practical knowledge of the needs of the
occasion assisting Eric and Andrew
wonderfully as the entire work grew
under their hands. a

with a sneer
'Do you expect to be married in the
army hall" asked Aunt Royal with
a frigid look at her nephew.
"My WIFE" said Stuart, with a dis
tinctness that ignored all this, but
made one point very plain, will be
the undisputed mistress of this house.
She is the peer of any woman living
in education, accomplishment and
grace, and she is the superior of most
of them in her spiritual refinement and
self sacrifice"

asked Louise, with curious look.
"Where else should bring the wo-

to Louise.
Il didn't know but that Miss Dwight

piled Louise shortly. She was tn X

knew that, no matter if Rhena Was
ready to forgive it, now that she was
going to be Stuart's wife, there was
gulf of difference between them
and, besides, she was out of sympa

of life.
