Then turning the page she went on
with the words:

o Lamb of God. who takest away the
sins of the world;
Grant us thy peace.
o Lamb of God, who takest away the
sins of the world;
Have mercy upon us.
She whispered the words over in a
sort Of sobbing chant that found her at
the clos saying, "Haye mercy upon
me-" instead of Gus" And with the
word she flung her arms over the desk
and laid her head down on the book,
crying convulsively.
The magnificent surroundings of that
gorgeOusly furnished room cleaned all
around her as she kneeled there, for the
+iroo hainr n C ,Vr0toha1 n eoI1I &c tbo +
sorrow smitten city housed, sunk in
the horrible depth of a self accusation
that was already a present day judg-
ment, warning her Of a future and
shifting her to the earth with terror at
the thought of a whole lifetime of
social influence abused for selfish ends.
When Luella called next day, she
found Mrs. Penrose in fine spirits.
Archie had already arrived and was
nervously walking up and down the
drawing room.
''There is no question about your love
for LueIa? % Mrs. Penrose asked as the
bell rang and Luella's step was heard
in the hall.
Archie gave his aunt a look that
made her laugh in his face.
Let Us eat and drink, for tomorrow
we die" she said caTelessly as she
turned to greet Luella.
Luella was in state Of unusual OK
element. The prospect of seeing John
Gordon and Hope House entered into
the situation. The prospect of seeing
Miss Andrews was perhaps larger
factor, for Penrose had in his fashion
limited of possible interest on John
Gordon's part toward this gifted wo-
man who had given her life to the peo-
pie. So, for these two reasons, Luella
was unusually excited, but in addition
was the whole situation, which she
realized was not yet by any means de-
cided in her relation to John Gordon.
She was apparently no nearer the sac
rifice of her social position than when
he had made that the test of her love.
But none the less certain was it that
she resented, as she had right to do,
the suggestion that John Gordon might
give his love to some other woman,
possibly to this one whom she had
never seen, whom she was going to see
now, why she did not know, aside from
certain curiosity that longed to be
satisfied. - ;. -
