much moved at the sudden death of
their fellow worker.
In the afternoon Reginald attended
the inquest. DR.. Gracely made full
report Of the examination. Death had
been caused by poison, evidently self
administered.
There was a sad reason for the
rash act of the girl" said the doctor.
Her case proves that some Of the
charges recently made in regard to
abuses in factories employing women
and girls are true. If only the death
of Mae Morbray could arouse public
sentiment to the absolute necessity OF
public control of such industries the
poor girl has not died in vain"
The words of Dr. Gracely made a
profound impression on Reginald Mel
son, and in his account Of the tragedy
in the Courier he quoted the words Of
the doctor, writing up the story in
such a vivid manner that for a num-
Der Of days the tragedy was the chief
topic Of conversation.
The week following Reginald depart
ed for the Illinois town where Billy
Sunday was closing a campaign. The
young Englishman was delighted with
this assignment, as he was anxious to
meet the baseball champion, Of whom
Allan Rutledge had told him much.
AS soon as the evangelist knew that
Reginald was the city reporter Of the
Bronson Courier, he gave the young
Englishman most hearty reception.
Glad to meet you, Mr.. Nelson!" he
exclaimed. How Is my friend Rut-
ledge getting along in Bronson?"
Reginald explained in what high re-
gard the Iowa minister was held and
told Of the purpose of his own visit.
Il suppose the Bronson devil is get
ting a little nervous" said Sunday,
with a laugh. He generally gets stir
red up when he hears I am hiking his
way"
Reginald assured the evangelist that
ample preparations were being made
and that he could depend on a well
come to the Michigan city.
Our paper. the Courier, is planning
to give you full space every day while
you are in Bronson" continued Regi-
nald.
1.-The power Of the press today Is a
marvel" replied Mr.. Sunday, speaking
earnestly. 1.-The newspapers are help
ing me save men right along. / cannot
be too thankful for the support they
have given men,"
you are a paying proposition for
the newspapers" responded Reginald
smilingly.
You bet" answered the other
promptly. You can look for hun
dreds Of new subscribers to the Cou-
rier as soon as get to Bronson.
tell you, Mr.. Nelson, it pays a news
paper as we'll as man to serve Jesus
Christ
During the day Reginald interview
ed prominent citizens Of the place in
regard to the Sunday campaign. From
the mayor Of the city down to the
constable he found the verdict prac-
tically unanimous in the evangelist's
favor
THE only people who are complain
ing now," said leading dry goods
merchant, ARE the saloon men and
the theatres. The saloons are losing
thousands Of dollars every week, but
their loss is the peoples gain"
On his return to Bronson, Reginald
wrote an account Of his visit to Illi-
nois, describing the Sunday taber-
nacle, the great crowds and the views
of leading citizens in regard to the
evangelist and his campaign.
Mr.. Sunday will arrive in Bronson
in two weeks and will begin the purg-
ing Of our city," was the closing SEN
tence.
The day following the publication Of
Reginald's visit to the west Joy Gra-
ham was walking along the main
street Of Bronson when she met him
face to face
Il have been wanting to see you,"
she exclaimed. extending her hand to
him as they met. Il want to congratu-
late you on that account Of your inter-
view with Mr.. Sunday in Illinois"
Reginald Nelson blushed and stam-
cred. He had not talked alone with
the girl since the evening Of the sleigh
ride.
from her vanished into thin air. He
forgot he had ever made any such res
olution. He simply knew that Joy
Graham, smiling and beautiful, was at
his side, and he walked along with
her, talking and laughing. Reginald
was feeling happier than he had been
since the fatal night when he attended
his first meeting Of the Tourist club
when suddenly they were confronted
by Roland Gregory. Gregory frowned
darkly when he saw the young pair
and evidently enjoying each others
society,"
Up JuSt utlolS iHcy Hlel,
Reginald saw the scowl, and in a mo-
ment his own conscience was awake.
He felt ashamed, humiliated, dis
graced. His long battle with his heart
had been lost. Joy Graham belonged
to another, and yet he had been acting
toward her as though she were heart
free.
Roland Gergory stopped in front of
them, and Reginald broke away al
most without word. Joy looked
after him in astonishment.
Joy, l really must forbid you keep
ing company with that fellow. l don't
like him, and you ought not to en-
courage him as you do"
Roland Gregory's voice was harsh
as he spoke. The girl turned to him
in surprise. Whats the matter now,
Roland?"
You are my promised wife. Joy,
