SR RS. MORTON LAKEWOOD
 was a patroness of St. Paul's
By HOWARD FIELDING

aA W @&M NAuASA Ol pa troness, indeed; its main pc cuniary pillar. Tn recent years her husband had made great fortune, and he had bought a country seat at Bayside, which was the fashionable thing to do, and Mrs. Harwood had joined St. Paul's.
 It had become more and more the custom for the holders of country seats to come down from the city for the week end, even in winter, but they rarely went to church. It was Mrs. Morton Harwood's belief that they could be made to go to St. Pauls.
 Tn regard to this matter she called upon James Kelvin, the stationer, for merly active in the affairs of the church, but fallen of late into an apa- thy which seemed to be working like a dry rot throughout the congregation To MT. Kelvin the lady suggested the displacement of the present minister, who was very willing to go, and the calling of some one in his stead who would wield the requisite social influ- ence-"some one," said she, "who can mingle with our wealthy people on terms of equality" s
 Mrs. Harwood, by the way, was not quite able as yet to do this herself but she had one foot over the threshold and could see within. She had reason to believe that the Rev. Philip Lee Winslow, member of one of the most exclusive families in the country. could be secured for St. Paul's. He was at present in charge of a chapel of Grace church in the city.
 "He would be an ideal man for us, i" said Mrs. Harwood. T
 MT. Kelvin had no objection. He agreed to see several other men in the matter, and none of them objected. It might not be quite true to say that they did not care, but it is certain that they did not exhibit the old time inter est. However, they mustered quo rum at the necessary meeting, and the Rev. Philip Lee Winslow was called to St Paul's of Bayside. F.. . ...#
 MT. Winslow was tall, spare young man with broad chest and the gen. eral look of one tnured to outdoor ex- ercises. His blue eyes were very bright, partly by contrast with his bronzed skin. and his teeth were white and perfect. Bayside admitted that he was a fine figure of man." His welcome came naturally from Mrs. Harwood and her circle, and his ap- pearance in the pulpit of St. Paurs was signalized by the advent of sev- eral large automobiles that never be- fore had been seen waiting outside the church. He was a success in the higher social circles, but singularly enough his own preference seemed to be for the company of the common people and especially for James Kel- win and his family.
 Kelvin had very pretty daughter, Annie, nineteen at the time, and two boys some years younger. The Rev. MT. Winslow liked to spend an hour or two at the Kelvin house of an even ing singing with Annie or playing the accompaniment for her songs, and he would sometimes enthralI the boys with tales of his uncle's great stock farm, where there were hundreds of blooded horses, some of them as wild as zebras and not to be ridden by any living man except one that had the special gift.
 You could hear the new pastors praises from any of the Kelvins, and no one spoke i'll of him, though some said that he was not overexerting himself for the rejuvenation of the church. The fact is that there was no great change throughout the winter. St Paurs drifted along in the same apathy as before. When the pastor was asked what he thought of it he would only say: "The situation is very difficult. l am endeavoring to get at the root of the trouble"
 Tn March there came to Mrs. Har- woods house a distinguished guest. He was tenor of the first rank, or very near it, who had sung in grand opera during the winter, but was now in retirement because of an alterca- ton with reporter in which the lat ter had sustained some slight damage His name was Kassimir, or thus he was known md
