ABBOTT was not disappointed; but he
was surprised to see Mrs. Jefferson in

tween them sat Mrs. Gregory. His sur
prise became astonishment on discov-

Grace motioned to Abbott to sit be-
side her, with concentration OF at
tention that showed her purpose OF
reaching definite goal unsupported
by the othec.

in the choir" Abbott whispered to
Grace. And look at Simon Jefferson

Grace looked at Simon Jefferson;
she also looked at Fran. but her COM
