goodly company. I've mentioned the
matter to him myself, but he refused,
owing to an unfortunate misapprehen-

might be persuaded to reconsider his
refusal"
Paul shook his head. You don't
know McAdoo."
The preacher proved to be as dull
as Eleanor had predicted. For a few
minutes Paul dutifuIly tried to fix his
attention on the discourse, but he soon
gave over the effort and fell to watch
ing her. He noticed her looking queer
ly toward a retired corner In one OF
the galleries. He followed the line of
her gaze and gasped in establishment.

pulpit to the man in the gallery and
the sweet faced woman beside him.

him, and be was therefore lifted INTO
the seventh heaven. He took Eleanor
to call on Kathleen early in the week.
His prophecy that they would become
good friends was not fulfilled. at least
Immediately. Kathleen, with a self
consciousness foreign to her. saw in
Eleanor's honest efforts to please her
only patronage, and Eleanor, chilled,
was convinced that the older woman
disliked her. Kathleen returned the
call a few days later, but at that time
Eleanor had left the city to spend the
week end with her cousin. Mrs. Dun
meade.
Twenty-four hours in the governors
mansion made Eleanor regret her visit.
The beautiful sympathy and simplicity
of the Dunmeade household. by their
very contrast recalling her own unhap-
by marriage, made her life seem unut-
4orably empty. The afternoon of her sec
ond day at the capitol she had gone to
Mrs. Dunmeade's sitting room and had
surprised the governor there romping
with the children while his wife looked
smilingly on.

bing his eyes sleepily, and Eleanor,
taking him into her arms, crooned a
slumber song to him while Mrs. Dun
