Mrs. j. X. Coates, who attended the
convention as a delegate from the
local union, returned Saturday after
noon and she pronounces Flint people
to be loyal entertainers.
About ten years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Coates and two daughters were resi-
dents of Flint. At that time there
were SS saloons in Flint. most of them
on the main street. Now there are
no saloons.
Mrs. Coates reports Flint beauti-
full, thriving city of over fifty thous-
and inhabitants, filled with beautiful
shade trees and magnificent residence
properties. The lawns are all kept
up and decorated with flowers. Also
there are many miles of paved streets.
The people are very cordial and hos
pitable. The Flint Daily Journal pre-
sented the ladies of the convention
with their live, wide-awake paper
each day.
This was only an inkling of the way
/ Flint treated her guests. 1t would
take pages to tell it all but we will add
that we are greatly encouraged with
the way our cause is recognized and
upheld. When God is for us who can
be against us. The main thought
brought out all through the conven-
ton was: 1t is the woman's Christ

OF Challis Wrandall. There was some
thing uncanny in the persistence with
which that ruthless despoiler Of peace
forced his way into his dreams, to the
absolute exclusion of all else. The voy-
age home was made horrid by these
nightly reminders of a man he scarce

more or less obsessed by the idea that
an evil spell had descended upon him
in the shape of ghostly influence.
The weeks passed slowly for Hetty.
There were no letters from Sara, but
an occasional line or so from Mr.. Car

promise that he would not write to
her, nor was he to expect anything
from her. II her intention was to cut

They 1ourneyed to Paris by the night
mail. He was waiting for her on the
platform when she descended from
the wagon Lit in the Care du Nord.
Sleepy passengers crowded with them
into the customs department. She,
alone among them all, was smiling
brightly, as if the world could be sweet
at an hour when, by all odds, 1t should
be sleepiest.
Il was up and ON the lookout for you
at Amiens," he declared, as they
walked off together. You might have
got off there. you know" with wry
grin.
Il shall not run away from you
again, Brandon" she said earnestly.
L promise, on my honor"
by Jove," he cried, that's a re-
lief!" Then he broke into a happy
laugh.

after her effects had been examined
and were ready for release.

ly. Il wired for rooms before / left

Really, this Is ridic-"
Don't frown like that, Hetty," he
pleaded.
AS they ratified and bounced over
the cobble-stones in taxi-meter on
the way to the Place Vendome, he de-
voted the whole of his conversation to
the delicious breakfast they were to
have, expatiating glibly on the won
derful berries that would come first in
that always-to-be-remembered meal
She was ravenously hungry by the
time they reached the hotel, just from
listening to his dissertation on chops
and rolls and coffee as they are served
In Paris, to say nothing of waffles and
honey and the marmalade that no Eng
lishman can do without.
Alone in his room, however, he was
quite another person. His calm assur-
ance took flight the instant he closed
the door and moodily began to prepare
for his bath. Resolution was undi-
minished, but the facts in the case
were most desolating. Whatever 1t
was that stood between them, there
was no gainsaying it's power to influ-
ence their lives. 1t was no trifie that
caused her to take this second flight,
and the sooner he came to realize the
seriousness of opposition the better
He made up his mind on one point
in that half-hour before breakfast; If
she asked him again to let her go her
way in peace, it was only fair to her
and right that he should submit to the
inevitable. She loved him, he was
sure of 1t. Then there must be very
good reason for her perplexing attitude
toward him. He would make one more
attempt to have the truth from her.

CHAPTER xiv.-continued.

When the night boat from Dover to
Caiais slipped away from her moor
angs that evening, Hetty Castleton and
her maid were on board, with all their
bags and trunks, and Brandon Booth
was supposed to be completely at sea
In the heart of that glittering London
town
The night was fog-laden and drip
ping, and the crossing promised to be
unpleasant Wrapped in thick sea-
ulster Hetty sat huddled up in the lea
OF the deckhouse, sick at heart and
miserable. She reproached herself for
the scurvy trick she was playing on
him, reviled herself and yet pitied her
Relf.
A tail man came shambling down
the narrow space along the rail and
stopped directly in front of her. She
started in alarm as he reached out his
hand to support himself against the
deckhouse. AS he leaned forward, he
laughed.
? YOU we're thinking of me, Hetty."
said the man.
For q long time she stared at him,
transfixed, and then. with low moan,
covered her eyes with her hands.
"IS II true-is 1t dream?" she
sobbed.
He dropped down beside her and
gathered her in his strong, eager arms.
"You were thinking of me, weren't

strained her closer to him in sort OF
paroxysm.
She was quiet for long time. Then
she breathed into his ear:

For an hour he pleaded with her,
all to no purpose. She steadfastly re-
fused to divulge the secret. Not even
his blunt reference to Challis Wran-
dalls connection with the affair found
a vulnerable spot in her armor.

at the end of his earnest harangue

had gained an inch along the road to
success. That night, in the cleaning
of his starlit porch, he smoked many
