 A look of terror had come into the pretty eyes; the frai1 figure of the girl trembled as she asked the question.
 Cant say, Lois-how do know? Sup pose I went as a sailor"
 Lois laughed louder than before.
 ''You-a blueboyl Lord, how you make me laugh Fancy the aristocrat being or dered about Oh. my poor funny-bonel Wouldn't you knock the man down that did it-oh, cant I see him.
 The idea amused her immensely and she dwelt upon it even in the street out side. Her Alb as a Captain Jack-or should 1t be the cabin-boy. And of course, he would bring her a parrot from the Brazils and perhaps a monkey.
 An I'll keep light in the winder for fear you should be shipwrecked in High street, Alb, and won't we go hornpiping together. Oh you silly boy; oh you dear old Captain Jack-whatever put a sailorman into your mind?'
 'The water" said Alban, as stolidly- fit leads to somewhere Lois This is the road to nowhere-good God how tired I am of it.

 "You silly boy Alb-are they ashamed, Alb2 Oh, no, no-people who love are never ashamed"
 He did not contest the point with her, nor might she finger. Bells were ringing everywhere, syrens were calling the peo- pie to work. It was new thing for AL ban Kennedy to be strolling the streets with his hands in his pockets when the clock struck one. And yet there he was become a loafer in an instant, just one of, the many thousand who stare up idly al the sky or gaze upon the windows of the shops they may not patronize or drift on helpless as though a dark stream of life had caught them and nevermore would set them on dry land again. Alpan realized all this, and yet the full meas ure of his disaster was not wholly un- derstood. It was so recent the conse- quences yet unfeit the future. after all, pregnant with the possibilities of change. He knew not al all what he should do. and yet determined that the shame of which he had spoken would never over take him.
 And determining, he strolled as far as Aldgate Station-and there he met the stranger.

 My carriage Is waiting," he said; nothing could possibly suit me better. 7"
 Alban, however, remained seated
 MT. Geary,' he exclaimed, you have forgotten to tell me something."
 "I can think of nothing'
 "The condition of this slap-up job-the high society and. all the rest of it! What are the conditions?"
 He spoke almost with contempt, and deliberately selected vulgar expression It had come to him by this time that some unknown friend had become inter- ested in his career and that this amiable curate desired to make either a school master or an organist of him. "Old Bo- riskoff knew I was going to get the sack and little Lois has been chattering,' he argued-nor did this line of reasoning at all console him. Sidney Geary, mean while, felt as though some one had sud- denly applied slab of melting ice to those grammatical nerves which Cam bridge had tended so carefully.
 My dear MT. Kennedy-not 'slap-up,' l beg of you. If there are any conditions attached to the employment my patron has to offer you, is he not the best person to state them? Come and hear him for yourself. I assure you 1t will not be waste of time.'
 "Does he live far from here?"
 "At Hampstead Heath-it will take us an hour to drive there.'
 And did he send the char abancs es- pecially for my beneft?"
 Not really-but naturally he did"
 Then I will go with you, sir
 He put on his cap slowly and followed the curate into the street-one of the girls racing after them to say that they had forgotten to pay the bill. And a pretty sort of clergyman you must be, to be sure" was her rehection-to the curate s blushing annoyance and his quite sub stantial indignation.
 ''I find much impertlnence in this part Of the world.'' he remarked as they retraced their steps toward the west; "as If the girl did not know that 1t was an acci- dent"
 We pay for what we eat down here, Alban rejoined dryly; its a good plan a IS you would discover If you tried it. sir. v
 MT Greary looked at the boy for an Instant as though in doubt whether he had heard a sophism or a mere imper- thence. This important question was not however, to be decided. for a neat single brougham edged toward the pavement at the moment and a little crowd collected instantly to remark so signal a phenome- non.
 Your carria ge. sir?" Alban asked
 ''Yes," said the curate, quietly, "my car riage And now, If you please. we will go and see MT. Gessner He Is Pole, Mr. Kennedy, and one of the richest men in London to-day"

tastic to their hearts content
The originator OF the unique plan
for a dance hall connected with a
church and the adyocator Of the be-.
lief that through the dancing SOUS
may be saved. is the Rev. Lorenzo
Case, pastor Of St PauTs. Il Is
through his efforts that the plans OF
the big clubhouse, where amusements
regarded with disfavor by so many
ministers may be enjoyed withou
censure, have been perfected.
Rev Mr. case asserts his cham
pionship Of dancing with a statement
in which he said:
The time is past FOR just teaching
the gospel will save the souls In Chi.
cago. We must reach out for the peo.
pie and draw them into tie church.
Preaching alone will no longer do this.
In order TO reach them properly We
must establish places where social
gatherings, such as dances and the
playing Of such games as pool and
billiards may be carried on.
The object Of such a place is to
keep the young people from going TO
outside places that might be OF evil
character.

pool playing are not bad in them.

ure. Later, however, we expect to
have all the outsiders who so desire
come in. and We hope to make our
club, for that is what it will be, a
success.
Many church clubs have failed
because the young people were not
given enough liberty; We're not per-
mitted to play pool or billiards or
smoke. We hope to avoid a failure
by granting these privileges in a mod.
crate degree. In that we expect TO
gain hold on them that will make
the teaching OF the Gospel effective

conditions.
