This is where / want to stay"
you cannot stay here" he an
ewered with slight smile at the pre-
sumptuous request, "but I'm willing to
pay for room at the hotel"
At this moment the door was opened
by the young woman who, some hours
earlier. had responded to Fran's
knocking. Footsteps upon the porch
had told OF Gregory's return.
The lady who was not Mrs. Gregory
was so pleased to see the gentleman
who was Mr.. Gregory-they had not
met since the evening meal-that. at
drst, she was unaware of the black
shadow; and Mr.. Gregory, In spite OF
his perplexity, forgot the shadow also
so cheered was he by the glimpse OF
his secretary as she stood In the
brightly lighted hall Such moments
OF delighted recognition are infinitesi.
NAL when third person, however
shadowy, is present; Jet had the world
been there. this exchange of glances
must have taken place.
Fran did not understand-her very
wisdom blinded her as with too great
light She had seen so much of the
world that, on finding a tree bearing
apples, she at once classified 1t as an
apple tree. To Gregory, Grace Noir
was but charming and conscientious
sympathizer in his life-work, the at

He had not breathed freely for half a
dozen hours-no wonder he was glad
TO see her. To Grace Noir, Hamilton

kind, man of lofty ideals whom II
was a privilege to aid. and since she
knew that her very eyes gave him
strength. no wonder she was glad to
see him.

and splendidly formed secretary.

smile. back again"

Suddenly the notes Of the deep
laboring organ burst upon the: ear,
falling with doubled and redonb'ed
intensity, and rolling, as it were,
huge pillows Of sound. How well do
their volume and grandeur accord
with this mighty building! With.
what pomp do they swell through its
vast vaults, and breathe their awful
harmony through these caves OF
death, and make the silent sepulchei
vocal! And now they rise in trium-
phant reclamation, heaving higher
and higher their accordant notes,
and piling sound on sound. And
now they pause, and the soft voices
Of the choir break out into sweet
gushes of melody. They soar aloft,
md warble along the roof, and seem
to play about these lofty vaults like
the pure airs of heaven. Again the
pealing organ heaves its thrilling
thunders, COMPRISING air into mu-

What solemn, sweeping concords! 1t
