the doctor, turning to Stuart and An drew
 She turned and bowed quietly, while the doctor busted himself with his pa tient again.
 "You are Miss Dwight, the daughter of Allen Dwight:' asked Stuart eager ly. The minute he spoke he wished he could recall his words.
 But the exclamation seemed to affect the young woman only for moment. Then she answered, Yes; Allen Dwight is my father" She added while a slight color swept over her pale face: You played the part of brave man today, Mir. Duncan. 1 want to thank you in behalf of the poor fellows who seemed to me so like sheep with out a shepherd. How Christ would have looked on them with compass sion.''
 Her gaze was out of the window past Stuart, who was standing near it. The square was crowded with the men. Some one had gone up into the stand and was speaking. Stuart felt as nev- CT before what q sad and thrilling sight great unguided multitude was. For the first time in his life he felt able to look at it through Christs eyes. But he was also agitated over his meeting with Rhena Dwight. She had turned to the doctor and in a low tone asked question. The doctor nodded his head, and she went out. She did not return, and Stuart, after seeing that every thing possible was being done for the sufferer. started for home.
 On the way he had leisure to recall the facts which the excitement of the past days crowded out of his mind; that Allen Dwight's daughter had some three years before while Stuart was in college surprised and astounded the so- ciety circle in New York of which she had been the leader by suddenly leav ing her home and all her fashionable surroundings to enter the Salvation Ar my. He remembered what sensational accounts appeared in the papers. Above all he recalled vividly the effect the news had on her brother. who at the time was a classmate of Stuart. He could also remember talking it over with Louise when he came home for his Christmas vacation.
 Louise was shocked as deeply as it was in her capacity to be shocked to think girl who had such 8 career be- fore her, gifted with such talents, mu- sical and social, should give them all up to fling her life away in the slums over horrid, dirty, drunken. miserable people. "She must be crazy" said Lou iSe. Her father was right in saying, if the report was true, that Rhena nev- CT should come into his home again as his daughter" His aristocratic family connections were very deeply disgraced by the event. His own standing in so- ciety was under cloud. He felt the shame of it with great bitterness and never alluded to it.
 All this Stuart called up as he neared home. He had never met Miss Dwight before and knew nothing of her req sons for the complete change ill her life He, wondered thoughtfully if it had not Eaen something like the expe- rience that had come to himself that morning.
 Louise met him with the news that his Aunt Royal. who had been expected on the noon train, had telegraphed that she had waited over a day on account of the troubles liable to follow the bringing of the troops. Ross Duncan's sister had planned for some time to come and make Louise visit and be with her through the winter if Louise wished.
 Erie has been calling for you. He is very nervous. Life isn't worth living with all this excitement over these la bor troubles"' said Louise sharply. .'Nhen Aunt Royal comes, I mean to plan for something besides all this.'
 Stuart did not reply and went in to see Erie, while Louise walked into the parlor and began to thump the piano as hard as she could. She was angry with Stuart and ye1ed with everything in general.
 Well, old fellow" said Stuart cheer fully, we had an exciting time, but no one killed yet, and I think the worst is over."
 Tell me about it.' Erie tried to sit up little and nervously moved his fin gers over the bedclothes.
 Stuart briefly described the scene at the train and Erie listened with frown- ing brow and strained muscles.
 That Salvation lass must be q brave enc. Who did you say she was:"
 Miss Dwight. She has just come up nere. l uIQSFSIIuu, NllDlu Il duS UT two." And Stuart went on to tell Erie her story as he knew it. Erie listened with great ca gerness. Then he inquired about the men; how they had behaved. what they were planning to do. what the next move would be, whether the men who had gone on down to the low CT range would probably go into the mines or whether they would be pre- vented by the miners.
 II tell you, Stuart said Erie after question and answer had been going for several minutes i'll this way. II must get up out of this, and very soon too. The doctor can't keep me here two weeks because l mean to be carried down to the square if I can't walk. Now is just the time when 1 ought to be with the men. If they once begin to break over the law the cause of labor will suffer setback that it cannot re- cover from "or years"
 That's true. But there is a lawless
