Arthur talked longer than he intended,

his attention. His gray-haired partner
was smiling down at him.

checks. and the hour is 3. / must hurry

And before Arthur could open his
mouth in protest the gray-haired judge
had whisked away. and a moment later
he heard the sound OF rolling wheels.
Arthur stared at the slip of paper and
laughed. This was not the first time
the judge had shifted his burdens to the
younger shoulders. IL was way he
had. But he was always appreciative
and that was something. Arthur looked

It was a long ride, but he still had a
few moments TO spare when he stepped
into the mission building and entered
the schoolroom.
The young rector greeted him at the
door. and to him Arthur explained that
he came as the representative of judge
CarTnody. who was unavoidably detain-
ed. but who wished to be with them by
proxy, and who sent his autograph as a
further reminder of his interest and
sympathy. Whereupon he produced the

Arthur smiled

then the rector took him to the front
and gave him a seat on the low plat

1t was a somewhat prominent place.
but he soon forgot this when the chill
dren marched in from the anterooms
and took their places. How near they
were and how bright their eyes. There
were several teachers with the little

And how the children sang and how

especially the teacher in the black
frock. He noticed her more particu-

young rector talked. He talked slowly
and in n precise manner. but it was
quite evident he was very much in
