 You acted very wisely. I have every confidence in you. Dr. Morgan. I think, as say. that you must be mistaken. It Is possible you are not: but in either case you will see the necessity for silence"
 The doctor bowed and left the room. When he had gone. Mir. Lampirthx drowned. and opening his pocketbook. took out small torn slip of paper on which Father Francis had written the name .Gaunt."
 He had said nothing about this to Dr. Morgan. He had scoffed at the idea that Father Francis was the same Hsanf as the Sir Richard Gaunt who had been lost in the Santigan five years before. But during the whole inter- view he knew that the story was true. Without doubt the great preacher and reformer was the same man who, some years previously, had scandalized London with his excesses. Mir. Lam- pirthy had never known Sir Richard Gaunt, but in those days the rake'a name was often on the lips of those who dearly love scandal Mir. Lan- pfrthy had for three years running spent six months of each year in Lon- don on business. He had been brought into contact with many society peo- ple. He had often heard of Sir Rtch- ard Gaunt.
 And this was the man. the ardent e1l~ thuStast who had persuaded him to sink his millions in the furtherance of n great cause. "Rakehell" Gaunt was the preacher who had moved thousands Go turn from the sordid pursuit of money to the truer life of simplicity ana god1iness, and the calm conten- plaeion of nobler things than wealth. This man, who once had been excluded from the houses of people that wers not over particular in the selection of their friends, was now regarded as g great souled and holy minded saint. as a prophet of God speaking divine words through human lips.
 The discovery was one which might well sfagger the intellect of the cool est and most practical man of busi- nes1 Yet the situation had to be faced pr. Morgan would be silent.

His hail and beard would scarcely have growr to more than a thick stubble. Hi face was well known in the district IL was fortunate that pr. Parry had only come to Aberllyn two years pre- viously.
