Hugh's companion now was the man
whom he himself had ordained and
anointed by the laying on Of hands
An irrepressible exclamation burst
from his lips.
With the sound both men at the ta-
Bile started to their feet. Hugh, with
single glance behind him, uttering
wild laugh, leaped the railing. dashed
through the study and vanished into
the night Harry. as though suddenly
turned to stone, stood staring at the
accusatory figure, with the eager form
of the evangelist behind 1t.
To the bishop it seemed the attitude
of guilt detected.
What was Harry Sanderson thinking
as under that speechless regard he
mechanically gathered the scattered
cards and lifted the little cross and the
unopened bag of double eagles from
the table? Where was the odd excite
ment. the strange exaltation. that had
possessed him? The spindles in his
brain had stilled. and an algid calm
had succeeded as abrupt as the quiet,
deadly assurance with which his mind
now saw the pit into which his own
feet had led him.
He blew out the candle. replaced 1t
carefully in its altar bracket, made
shift to wipe the wax from the table
and slowly. half blindly and without a
word, went into the study.
The bishop came forward, drew the
key from the inside of the study door,
closed 1t and locked it from the chapel
side. Harry did not turn. but he was
actually conscious of every sound.
He heard the door shut sharply. the
harsh CRATE of the key in the lock. and
| the sound came to him like the last
| sentence-the realization of soul on
whom the gate of the good closes for
ever.
In the dark silence Of the chapel
Hallelujah Jones smote his thin hands
together approvingly as he followed
the bishop to the outer door. There
| the older man laid his hand on his
shoulder.
"Let him that thinketh he stand

Let not this knowledge be spread
abroad that it make the unrighteous

your own soul tonight pray for the

face is turned away!'

word.
In the study Harry Sanderson stood

AS he pushed up the street he came

had seemed to be looking beyond the
ebb and flow of the jettons and the
pale face opposite him that goated
over Its yellow pile. Though that pile
grew larger and larger, Harry's face
had never changed. Hughs was the
shaking hand when he discarded, the
conyulsed features when he scanned
his draw, the desperate anxiety when
for moment fortune seemed to wa

luck! He swept his winnings into his
pockets with discordant laugh as he
noted that of the contents of the

His hand won. and the next, and the
next Hugh boarded his gold; he
staked the red wafers-each one a day!
He had won almost thousand dollars,
but the second bag had not yet been
opened. and the vampire intoxicaticn
was running molten hot in his veins.
The untouched bag drew him as the
magnet mountain drew the adventur-
GUS Sindbad-he could have snatched

But the luck had changed. His red
counters diminished. melted. He would
soon have to draw on his real win
nings. Cold beads Of sweat broke on
his forehead.
Neither saw the face pressed against
the aperture. Neither guessed the wild
and terrible thoughts that were raging
through the mind of the solitary
watcher as he peered and peered.
Scarce knowing what he did, he clos
ed the panel softly and ran across the
chapel lawn. On the pavement outside
he met man approaching. 1t was the
bishop. The excited evangelist did not
know the man. but his eye caught the
ministerial dress. the plain. sturdy pi-
ETY. of the face. In his zeal he saw an
instrument to his hand. He grasped
the bishops arm.
"Quick! Quick" he gasped. There's
devil work doing in there! Come and
sect! He fairly pulled him inside the
gate.
The puzzled bishop saw the intense
excitement Of the others demeanor.
He saw the faint glow in the corner Of

board of agriculture, will resign with
the close of his present term is report
ed. That term ends on March 1, 1909.
1t is further reported that Oscar F.
Roessler, superintendent of conces-

cannot discuss that matter at this
time" said Mr.. True. MY term of Of
fee does not expire until March l. l
do not believe that, even were l so
inclined, the board would accept my
resignation now. Further than that
1 cannot discuss the report 1t is
said that Mr.. True, owing to the
strenuous nature of the work and
his advancing age, feels that he can
not longer undertake the laborious
task. On the other hand, it is said
that the board knows no man who
could at once step into the shoes of
the veteran secretary. The vastness
of the project and the many years of
training that Mr.. True has gathered
makes him man apart in his line.
That his absence would be keenly
felt by the board is generally conceed-
ed. John M. True became secretary Of
the Wisconsin state board Of agricul-
ture on March s, 1890. He has held
the position ever simce. During his
career he has witnessed and been in
strumental in the making of an UNI
precedented growth in the fair. His
efforts have been attended with sue
cess. The fair has become the nam
moth venture of to-day largely under
his guidance. Mr.. Roessler had an al
most equal experience He, too, has
aided in the upbuildiMg of the ven
ture, and, it is said, has been declared
the logical man for the expected va
cancy.
