CHAPTER VlIl-Continued.

you are blaming the church with a
fault which lies in the people," pro-
tested the rector, shocked and dis
turbed, and yet feeling it his duty to
set Gail right. He was ashamed of
himself for having been severe with
her in his mind. She was less frivol-
Gus than he had thought, and what she
needed was spiritual instruction. THE
people are lukewarm."
What else could they be with the
watery spiritual cruel which the
church provides?" retorted Gail.
Il am interested in knowing what
$our particular new religion would be
like" remarked Daddy Manning. his
twinkling eyes resting affectionately
on her.
ut would be return to the simple
faith in Cod" Gail told him reverent-
ly ut is still in the hearts Of the
people, as it will always be; but they
have nowhere to gather together and
worship"
Daddy Manning laughed as he de-
tected that bit of sarcasm.
According to that we are wasting
our new cathedral"
Absolutely" and it struck the rec
tor with pain that Gail had never
looked more beautiful than now, with
her cheeks flushed and her brown
eyes swapping with indignation. Your
cathedral will be a monument, built
out of the profits wrung from squalor,
to the vanity of your congregation. If
/ were the dictator Of this wonderful
city of achievement, l would decree
that cathedral never to be built, and
Vedder court to be utterly destroyed"
ut is perhaps just as well that you
are not the dictator of the city" The
young Rev. Smith Boyd gazed down at
her from his six feet Of serious pur-
pose, with all his previous disappro-
val intensified. 1.-THE history OF Mar
ket Square church is rich with In
stances of its usefulness in both the
spiritual and the material world, with
evidence of its power for good, with
justification for it's existence, with rea-
son for its acts. You make the COM

from one surface indication. Do you
suppose there is no sincerity, no con-
science, no conservation in Market
Square church," His deep, mellow
baritone vibrated with the defense Of
his purpose and that of the institution
which he represented. why do you
suppose our vestrymen, whose time is
OF enormous value, find a space amid
their busy working hours for the af-
fairs of Market Square church? Why
do you suppose the ladies of our guild,
who have agreeable pursuits for every
hour of the day, give their time to
committee and charity work?" He
paused for hesitant moment. why
do you suppose / am so eager for the
building, on American soil, of the most
magnificent house of worship in the
worId?"
Calls pretty upper lip curled.
Personal ambition!" she snapped,
and, without waiting to see the pallor
which struck his face to stone, she
heeled her way out through the mud
ITO her coupe.

CHAPTER x.


"Gentlemen, There Is Your Empire!"
The seven quiet gentlemen who sat
with Allison at his library table. fol-
lowed the concluding flourish Of his
hand toward the map on the wall. and
either nodded or blinked appreciative-
~. The red line on his map was COM
plete now, broad, straight line from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. and to 1t
were added, on either side. irregular.
angling red lines like the legs of CEN
tipede, the feeders of the various sys-
TENS which were under control of the
new Atlantic-P Pacific railroad.
That's brilliant piece of engi-
neering, Allison" observed huge Rich

Convict Steals Diamond.

IL man is thief and wants to steal
he can exercise his criminal proclivi-
ties inside as we'll as outside the peni-
Tertiary. At least this is proven by
the act of Hugh McNair, white con-
Wet at the Oakley farm, who escaped
after breaking into closet in the home
Of Sergeant Stockett and appropriating
a $500 diamond ring, pistol, suit OF
clothes and other articles. McNair was
ant up from Smith county last year to
serve three-year term for burglary.

With a sharp intake of his breath, the
fellow, a ruddy-faced, thick-necked,
full-lipped young man who had fol-
lowed her with his eyes all evening,
suddenly turned. and caught her in his
embrace.
Gail, turning, hurried out of the side
door to the veranda. Her knees were
trembling, but the fresh, cold air
steadied her, and she walked the full
length of the wide porch, trying in
stinctively to forget the sickening hui
initiation. She was near window,
and, advancing step, she looked in.
It was the library. and Allison sat
there, so clean and wholesome look
ing, with his pink shaven face and his
white evening waistcoat, and his dark
hair beginning to sprinkle with gray
at the temples. He was so sturdy and
so strong and so dependable looking,
as he sat earnestly talking with Bah
bitt. Gail hurried to the front door
and rang the bell.
Hello, GAIL" greeted the CHEEKY
VOICE Oh AIlISOu, DIS oAS CdLO AZ. XAJ
dance next. isn't it,"
His voice was so good, so comfort
ing, so reassuring.
81 think so," she replied, standing
hesitantly in the doorway, and thank
full that the lights were canopied In
this room.
Allison drew the memorandum pad
toward him. and rose.
"By the way, there's one thing for
got to tell you, Rabbit, and it's rather
important" He hesitated and glanced
toward the door. You'll excuse me
just half minute, won't you, Gail?"
She had noticed that assumption OF
intimate understanding in him before.
and she had secretly admired it. Now
it was comfort and joy.
Surely" she granted, and passed
on in to the library alcove, sheltered
nook where she was glad to be alone,
to rescue herself from the whirl OF
anger, and indignation, and humilla-
tion-above all, miliation-which
had swept around her. Her face was
hot and cold by turns. and she was al
most on the point of crying, in spite
Of her constantly reiterated self-ad'
monishment that she must control her.
self here, when Allison came to the
door of the alcove.
All right, GAIL" he said laconically-
She felt suddenly weary, but she
rose and joined him. When she
slipped her hand in his arm, strong,
and warm, and pulsing, she was aware
of thrill from it. but the thrill was
just. restfulness.
"You look little tired" judged the
practical Allison, as they strolled, side
by side, into the hall, and he patted
the slender hand which lay on his
arm.
Not very" she lightly replied, and
unconsciously she Struggled her hand
more comfortably into its resting
place. A little sigh escaped her lips,
deep-drawn and f1uttering. 1t was q
sigh of content.
