do what you can for Phil There's no

Malcom trembled. How could he tell
this wretched, heartbroken woman, liv-
ing in that desolate, ruined home, that
he had already made his plan to leave
Conrad. She chung to him as the lar

and still Malcom Kirk said nothing.
II know you won't give him up, Mr..

CHAPTER XII.
THE BATTLE FOR PROHIBITION.

THE BATTLE FOR PROHIBITION.
All the way back to Conrad his mind
was at war. He knew deep down in
his soul that he had no Joy in the
change he had planned to make. He
knew we'll enough that his call to the
ministry did not mean a ministry with
the pen, but with the voice and \in the
personal, living, hand to hand touch
with humanity.
he knew it when he said to Dorothy
there by the ruins, II will" He knew
it as he penned the letter that even
now he supposed had started on it's
eastward journey. He knew 1t as he
felt the touch Of the sorrowful moth
ers hand on his arm. And no reason
Ing or self persuasion could convince
him otherwise or satisfy him that he
had made q decision that his con-
science could approve.
The doctor had q patient at the lower
end Of the town near where they drove
in on the way back, and Malcom left
him there and started to walk home.
As he went up the main street past the
saloons Carver came staggering out of
one of them. #~.- i
The sight Of the minister seemed to
sober the man a. little. He muttered,
! "How do, Mr.. Kirk? and was sham
bling on, when he suddenly stopped, as
If he had remembered something and
ran back to Kirk, who had gone sadly
on, sick at heart at the sight Of him.
Something OF, yours, Mr.. Kirk. Let
ter you gave me to keep. No trouble to
keep it. Glad to do favor" Carver
stammered, his drunken brain proud OF
his apparent service to the minister.
He pulled out the letter Kirk had
given him and handed it over. Nal
com took it mechanically without 9
word. Carver stared at him, and as
Kirk walked away he scratched his
head and lE:::~tp:ed: -
"Something wrong with the minister
evidently" He shook his head in per
plexity and finally zigzagged into {
saloon to see If he could clear up thu
mystery with fresh drink. '%lS :
Malcom thrust the letter down int
his pocket and walked on like one in {
dream. He went by the postoffice with
out looking up. He met several Of his
| parishioners and answered their Igoot
I day absently. BE was going over th,
struggle he had experienced when hil
