CHAPTER xIv-contInued.

A singing blush-a blush OF anger
and outraged pride as much as OF
nodcsty-surged up over Agatha's
face. She was silent moment, and
in that moment learned what 1t was
to control anger.
ct have not been living with this
man. in any sense of the term, Mrs.
Stoddard. / will say this once for all
to you, though / never would, in any
other conceivable situation, reply to
such an Implication. You have no
right to say or think such things"
"Wickedness must be rebuked Of the
Lord" intoned Mrs. Stoddard
Are you his mouthpiece?" said Aga
tina scornfully. But she was rebuked
for her scorn by Mrs. Stoddard's look.
Her eyes rested on Agatha's face with
pleading and patience. as IL she were
a world mother, agonizing for the sal
walton Of her children.
ct is his command to pluck the
brand from the burning" said Susan
Stoddard. "Ungodly example is sin,
youthful feet"
AS Agatha listened to Mrs. Stod-
dard's strange plea, the instinct with
In her which, from the first moment OF
the interview, had recoiled from this
fanatical but intensely spiritual WON
on, found its way. as 1t were, into the
light. Such was the power Of her sin
cerity, that, in spite Of the extraor-
binary character of the Interview, Aga
tha's heart throbbed with a new COM
prehension which was almost love. She
stepped closer to Susan Stoddard, her
tail figure overlapping the others
sturdy one, and took one of her strong
work-kardened hands.
Mrs. Stoddard, this man has never
spoken a word Of love to me. But II
ever marry, It will be a man like
him-a plain, high-hearted gentleman.
There! You have a woman's secret.
And now come with me, and help US
to save a life. You cannot, you must
not, refuse me now"
The subtle changes Of the mind are
hard to trace and are often obscure
even to the eye of science; but every
day those changes make or mar our
Joy. Susan Stoddard looked for a long
minute up into the vivid face bending
over hers, while her spirit, even as
Agatha's had done, pierced the hedge
which separated them, and compre-
hended something of the goodness in
the others soul Finally she laid her
other hand over Agatha's, enclosing
II In a strong clasp. Then, with a
certain pathetic pride in her submis-
sion, she said:
81 have been wrong, Agatha; l will
come" Agatha's grateful eyes dwelt
bn hers, but the strain OF the inter.
view was beginning to count She
sank down In the chair that Mrs. Stod-
4ard lad offered at the beginning OF
their meeting, and covered her eyes
with one hand. The elder woman kept
the other.
I'VE will not go to our task alone, !"
she said. I'VE win ask Gods help. The
prayer Of faith shall heal the sick. "
Then falling to her knees by Agatha's
side, with rapt, lifted face and closed
eyes, she made her confession and her
petition to the Lord. Her ringing voice

ADJUSTMENTS

Girl With the Green Eyes The older
type of plays was content TO condemn
the thief and the liar. The modern play
wright, in keeping with the advance Of
public opinion. has given his attention to
the problem of retaining the thief or
other human wrongdoer. To the older
type, this Clyde Fitch play belongs.
While it might be eliminated entirely
as far the theme is concerned the

brightest of the piece. AS presented last
