confidence and courage. for Mark Paget-
though thrown amongst the rir-raf Of the
great city. always saw the streak Of good
ness that he believed In every man, woman
or child.
His earnest face glowed with enthusiasm;
his voice thrilled his hearers as he besought
them to look upward. and step by step draw
nearer to God.
The old church of st. Anselm was crowded
-thronged to the very dUors-so that there
was not even standing room; and this vast
c%oncourse of people were there to hear one
man speak.

stone IN the path that leads to heaven"
Then. with a few more words Of earnest
exh~ortation. the preacher closed his sermon
and left the pulpit.
The crowd, quiet and orderly. though
chiefly composed of rough-looking men and
women. whose faces were marked with sin
and suffering, rose and left the church.
A few fingered behind, and among those
few was Dick Terrier. Changed-terribly
changed-since the day when he had first
met Mark Paget.
His 'face was worn and thin. the cheek
bones too prominent, the hollows Of the
cheeks showing painfully distinct. and his
eyes bore an anxious. hungry look In them
that was sad to see.
Though a warm evening TOWARD the end
OF May. he wore the collar Of his short coat
buttoned close over his throat. and no
not even afford a clean collar, and had
white cuffs showed below the sleeves at
the wrists. He who had been SO fastidious
about the spotlessness Of his linen could
parted with every available armen in or
der to keep himself alive.
For two months he had been searching
for work, and could get none. And at
last he had made up his mind that he would
avail himself of Mr.. Paget's offer. and seek
him. Perhaps he would help him to find
something that would keep body and soul
together.
He had resolved to hear him preach. to
see II his first impression Of the man re-
manned; II SO, he would cali on him the
next morning.

she slipped the gold coin into the palm OF
his hand. He recognized her at once, and
flushed hotly, while the tears rushed to
his aching eyes-tears Of weakness, that did
not shame his manhood.
You are sweet and good: but I cant
take that!' he replied. in q voice broken
by emotion, and forcing the coin back in
the girls hand. She looked disappointedly
at him..

sion in his sad eyes.
Il am sorry" she whispered; then, with
a parting glance at his sorrowfuI face, she
turned away.
And Dick felt that he had no right to

the companionship OF this sweet, generous
girl. when he was penniless and an out.
cost.
He dropped on his knees, buryinx his face
In his hands. He felt the shame of his no.
sition as he had never in his bitterest mo-
ments felt 1t before. To have been offered
money by a working girl! What must she
think of him?
He did not know that love had touched
a chord In Myra Henderson's heart for the
first time, and that she was determined 70
help him somehow or other. so that he
should not be driven-as, alas! so many
were-to despair. She crossed the church
to a side door that led into the vestry, and,
knocking softly. was at once admitted by
the vicar himself.

claimed. surprise and pleasure in his tone.
He had known her for over a year. and
had been Of much help and comfort to the
girl in her lonely life.

'He may be able TO put me in the way of
sweeping a crossing" Dick had said to him
self, with a bitter laugh that was mirthless
and discordant. And then he had entered
the church. and listened with the throns
to the words that brought hope once more
to his despairing heart.
He fingered with the other loiterers be-
| cause he was tired In body, footsore and
weary, and he had no money left for even
| the humblest of lodging or a piece Of dry
bread.
He would remain as long n the quiet rest
! ing place as possible; then, when he was
turned out he would have to tramp through
the night. resting. perhaps, on a doorstep
nov and again. only to be told to move
on by the policeman. who flashed his Ian
tern into his aching eyes.
In n shndowy corner of the old church.
not far from where Dick Terrier sat. was a
girl. whose eyes were riveted on his face.
She had only seen him when the crowd had
moved away. and her heart had given a
great throb as she recognized the man who
had picked up her parcel and carried 1t for
her two months ago.
She had often thought Of him, and won
dered who he was. She thought he must
be somebody particular, for there was a
distinguished look about him., and his
clothes were smart and faultless in cut, his
voice cultured and delightful. He had
seemed far sbove the Woodworking type
writing girl. and for that very reason she
had hidden him go. and not encouraged him
to see more Of her.
And now he was In this East Side church.
amidst the poorest of the poor. and, save
for his air Of good breeding and intellec-
tuality, one OF the crowd. as poverty
stricken as any Of them; for Myra Hender'
son, unfortunately, knew only too well the
signs Of hunger and semistarvation
III I only dare!'' she whispered to her
self. as she drew out Of her pocket a shah
by little purse. and, between finger and
thumb. took out the only gold piece It con-
tanned. Would he be too proud to accept
it?"
Her heart beat painfully fast as she
slipped out Of her seat and stole UP the dim
aisle to Dick Terriers side.
The lights were being extinguished in the
church. and only here and there one or
two were left. Dick was near one OF these.
and its yellow glow shone on the girls face
as she gently touched him on the arm.
Don't be angry, please" she whispered.
But I want you to take this. You have
seen trouble since we met. and II you would
let me help you I should be so gladt"

most reluctantly from Beatrice Terriers

not boast Of being a beauty, though she
was attractive enough, with her merry.
sunburnt face, and CHEEKY manners.
"You must stay!' Molly whispered to
Beatrice. as the stranger closed the gate.
Beatrice did not answer. but she also did
not make a move to go. Strangers were
rare in her part Of the world, and perhaps
she was curious to know more OF this man
with the worn. ascetic face and keen eyes
that had glanced at her 70 critically.
OF course. he must have heard her re-
mark, and probably put her down as a
bold, braxen girl. boasting of her conquests.
Well. what did It matter? He was an utter
stranger, and she would. in all probability.

amusing to stay to lunch. Why shouldn't

she replied.

He must have come round the back way.

buxom-looking lady, an elderly replica Of
herself. appeared In the porch by the cur

He was a short-siehted little man. who
wore spectacles, but he recognized almost
Immediately the tall man walking beside
Molly. and cried out, amazement expressed
in his tone:
Why, Paget, where on earth did You
spring from?. I thought you were grinding
away In the East End of London"
Thu two men shook hands heartily, and
then the curate introduced the stranger as:
Mr. Mark Paget. vicar Of ct. Anselm's,
Whitechapel."
The luncheon was quite a merry one. Mr..
Jefferson forgot, or put aside, his disap-
pointment at having been rejected the day
before by Miss Terrier, in his delight at
meeting again his old. friend. Mark. Paget;
and Ara. Dawson aud her daughter were
