DRY, sing"
As the song swept over the vor-
shippers in q wave of pleading, such
ushers as still remained held a brief
consultation. The task assigned them
did not seem included in their proper
functions. Only one could be found
to volunteer as policeman. and he only
because the evangelist's determined
eye and rigid arm had never ceased to
indicate the disturber of the peace.
Fran was furious; her small white
face seemed cut in stone as she stared
at the evangelist How could she have
known she was going to laugh? Her
tumultuous emotions, inspired by the
sight of Hamilton Gregory, might
well have found expression in some
other way. That laugh had been as a
darting of tonguehame directed
against the armored Christian soldier
whose face was so spiritually beauti-
full, whose voice was so eloquent.
Fran was suddenly aware Of a man
pausing irresolutely at the end Of the
plank that held her erect. without
turning her head, she asked in a
rather spiteful voice, Are you the
sheriff?"
He spoke with conciliatory persua-
siveness: Won't you go with me,
little girl?"
Fran turned impatisntly to glare at
the usher.
He was a fine young fellow Of per-
haps twenty-four, tall and straight.
clean and wholesome. His eyes were
sincere and earnest yet they promised
much in the way Of sunny smiles-at
the proper time and place. His
mouth was frank, his forehead open.
his shoulders broad.
Fran rose as swiftly as II a giant
had lifted her to her feet Come on,

smothered. She climbed over the
"stringer'' at the end of her plank.
and marched behind the young man
as IL oblivious Of devouring eyes.
As they passed the last pole that
supported a gasolene-burner. Fran
glanced up shyly from under her
broad hat. The light burned red upon
the young usher's face, and there was
something in the crimson glow. or in
the face. that made her feel like cry.

it revived the recollection of her lone
illness. And as she usually did what
she felt like doing. she cried, silently,
as she followed the young man out be

I'VE reap what we SOW,
We reap what we SOW"

Above the tide of melody, the voice
of the evangelist rose in scream, ap-
palling in its agony-"Oh, men and
women, why will you die, why viii
you die?"
But the stars, looking down at the
silent earth, spoke not Of death, spoke
only as stars, seeming to say, Here
are April days, dear old earth, balmy
springtime and summer harvest be-
fore us!-What merry nights we shall
pass togetherl" The earth answered
with a sudden white smile, for the
moon had just risen above the distant
woods.
At the stile where the footpath
from the tent ended, Abbott paused.
Why should he go furtheri This SCOT
fer, the one false note in the meet
ing's harmony. had been silenced.

His tone was final. 1t meant, DE

Fran spoke in a choking voice, I'm

he knew she had been crying, for not
once had he looked back. That she
should cry, changed everything.
II am so little." Fran said plain
lively. "and the world is 30 large"
Abbott stood irresolute. To take
Fran back to the tent would destroy
the Influence, but 1t seemed inhuman
to send her away. He temporized
rather weakly, But you came here
alone"
But I'm not going away alone"
said Fran. Her voice was still damp.
but she had kept her resolution dry.
In the gloom, he vainly sought to
discern her features. Whose little
girl are your" he asked, not without
an accent of gentle commiseration.
Fran. one foot on the first step Of
the stile, looked up at him; the sud-
den flare of torch revealed the sor-
row in her eyes. Il am nobody's little
girl" she answered plaintively.
Her eyes were 80 large, and 80 soft
and dark. that Abbott was glad she
was only a child of fourteen-or if-
teen, perhaps. Her face was so
strangely eloquent in its yearning for
something quite beyond his compre-
hension, that he decided, then and
there, to be her friend. The unsteady
light prevented definite perception Of
her face. There was. In truth, an ele-
ment of charm in all he could discern
Of the girl. Possibly the big hat
helped to conceal or accentuate-at
any rate, the effect was somewhat
elfish. AS for those great and lumt

A Knock at the Door.
CHAPTER I.

Fran knocked at the front door. II
was too dark for her to find the bell:
however. had she found it, she would
have knocked Just the same.
At first, no one answered. That was
not surprising. since everybody was
supposed to be at the Union Camp
meeting that had been advertised for
the last two months, and that any one
In Lttleburg should go visiting at
half-past eight. and especially that any
one should come knocking at the door
OF this particular house, was almost
incredible.

Suddenly the evangelist smote his
hands together, a signal for song and
prayer to cease.
Having obtained q silence that was
breathless he leaned over the edge of
the platform. and addressed a man
who knelt upon the ground:
Brother Clinton, can't you get it,"
The man shook his head.

Brother Clinton shook his head.
Fran laughed aloud.
The evangelist had already turned
to Hamilton Gregory as a signal for
the hymn to be resumed, for some
times singing helped them through,
but the sound of irreverent laughter
chilled his blood. To his highly
wrought emotional nature, that sound
of mirth came as the laughter OF
fiends over the tragedy OF an immortal
soul.
