There was more of it: a good bit
more; but it was all guarded common
place, opening no window in the heart
of the man David Kent. Yet even in
the commonplace she found some faint
interlinings of the change in him; not
a mere metamorphosis of the outward
man, as a new environment might
make. but a radical change, deep and
biting, like the action of a strong acid
upon a fine grained metal.
She returned the letter to its envel-
ope. and after looking up CASTOR on the
e-table fell into a heart stirring
reverie, with unseeing eye fixed on the
restful blackness of the night rushing
rearward past the car windows.

sails to the minutest starting Of

other at the time table gave him the

were; and dining-car dinner inter-

Ormsby merely saw to it that Elinor
was judiciously marooned. Then the

opposite section was nodding over his
newspaper, and the newly married
ones were oblivious, each to all else
but the other. Mrs. Brentwood was
apparently sleeping peacefully three
seats away and Penelope was invisible.

But 1 do he insisted.
The lights of a town suburb were

drowned in the shrill crescendo of the
brakes. She turned from him sudden

"You make me very happy" he said
quietly, and just then the train
stopped with a jerk, and a shutting
hustle of station platform noises
ficated in through the open deck
transoms of the car.
AS if the solution of continuity had
been a call to arouse her, Elinor freed
her hand with swift little wrench
and sat bolt upright in her corner.

for the self-control that usually came
so easily.
Ormsby consulted his watch

He broke off when he saw that she
was no longer listening to him. There
was a stir in the forward vestibule,
and the porter came in with a hand

Dinner over, there remained but
twenty minutes of respite; but the
diplomatist kept his head, going back
to the sleeping car with his charges

began. "Sha'n't have the Presence in

COLONEL ALLEN TALKS AT
CORONADO ABOUT HAWAII
Answers San Diego Questions About Bishop
Restarick Whose Success Here he Com

The san Diego Tribune of Dec. 49,
says:
Among the callers at the chamber of
commerce yesterday was William f.
Allen of Honolulu. Mr.. and Mrs. Alien,
and Mr. Aliens sister are guests at
Hotel del Coronado.
Mr.. Allen has been identified with
the business and social affairs of Ho-
nolulu and is much interested in, the
future of that city and the Hawaiian
Islands generally.
He is very we'll acquainted with
Bishop Restarfck, formerly of this city,
but now bishop in Honolulu. ''I do
not wonder said he yesterday, that
your San Diego people were so sorry
to lose Mr.. Restarick. He was good
man to keep. AS for Honolulu l can
say that he is more than filing ex-
pectations over there I doubt if any
man could have attained a greater de-
gree of success in church work than
has Mr.. Restarick- Although he has
only just commenced he has accom-
plished a great deal"
Mr. Allen says that he had the pleas
ure of hearing an address by Bishop
Restarick in Tremopt Temple, Boston,
at the great missionary meeting few
DAYS ago. unfortunately I was called
away, said Mr.. Allen, before I could
tender my congratulations, but i shall
do so upon my return home. 1t was
distinguished gathering of Christian
workers, who had met there to hear re-
ports from returned missionaries to
foreign lands. I was interested In not

words upon the vast audience.
HE spoke in defense of the mission

for This class of Christian workers.
Mr.: Allen understands that Mr. Res-
tarick made a very favorable impress

Washington and in other Of the eastern
cities where he visited.
