to the congregation to welcome the
advent of a younger man. one whose
opinions, although progressive, were
free from the faint of irreverence and
whose family connections were all that
the most fastldious among them could

lay on the printed page-a pink, softly
growing, velvety rose-that made him
think of Alys Ward. He had met her ii

He rang the bell
