Christ in his relation to the sea and
those who live upon it. He touched on
Christ's love of humankind and his

The sermon was easily understood. It

after he was through. He went In and

the day passed on slowly with an I'm.

CHAPTER v.
NALCoM ATTEMPTS TO RETURN THE MIMI

AZURE.
The next day Malcolm Kirk doggedly
set to work on his report. In the
evening he went over to see the presi-
dent and consulted with him as to GER
tain details, and then for the next three
days he gave himself up to his task
Of getting together the great mass of
material he had accumulated while
abroad.
1t was the fourth evening of his re-
turn that he saw the lights in the Gil
bert house across the campus as even
ing set in. The house had been shut
up and dark.
"She is home again." was his first
thought. He was unable to work well
that evening. The next day he con-
tinued, but the evident nearness of
Dorothy made him restless to see her.
Once she came out on the porch, and
he readily recognized her even at that
distance.
That evening he did not pretend to
himself that he could do anything
worth doing on his report and resolved
to go and return the miniature without
waiting any longer. He had kept it
more than year now. He was under
promise to give it back. AS we'll now
as any time.
He rang the bell with q tremor at
heart that instantly bounded into fever,
when Dorothy herself opened the door,
He stood there in the light Of the.
porch, and his trepidation did not
hinder his observing that Dorothy look,
ed very pale and even as If she had
been crying.
won't you come in, Mr.. Kirk? i
am very glad to see you" said Dorothy!
She spoke so easily, 50 kindly, that he
recovered his self possession at once
and went into the parlor and sat down,
wondering at the commonplace de-
tails Of his meeting with the one wo-
man in all the world to him.
