 T was waiting for that bit of i'm pertinence," laughed Manning. q shall be surprised at nothing you say since that first day when you char. acterized Market Square church as a remarkably lucrative enterprise. Have you never felt any compunctions of conscience over that2"
 Not once," answered Gail prompt, ly. She had started to seat herself on one of the empty benches, but had changed her mind. "If had been given to any such self-injustice, however, should reproach myself now. I think Market Square church not only com mercial but criminal"
 I'll have to give your soul chas tisement," smiled Manning. These people must live somewhere, and be cause Vedder court, being church property, is exempt from taxation, they find cheaper rents here than any where in the city. If we were to put up improved buildings, I don't know where they would go, because we would be compelled to charge more rent"

He Dropped Behind to Slip Something
 Which Looked Like Money.

this misery, Market Square church is reaping harvest rich enough to build fifty million dollar cathedral, and I have sufficient disregard for the par ticular deity under whom you do busi- ness, to feel sure that he would not destroy it by lightning. I want out of here"
 Frankly, so do l." admitted Man ming; although I'm ashamed of my self It's all right for you, who are young, to be fastidious, but your Daddy Manning is coward enough to want to make his peace with heaven, after life which put a few blots on the book"
 She laughed at him speculatively for a moment, and then she laughed.
 You know, don't believe that. Daddy Manning. You're an old fraud who does good by stealth, in order to gain the reputation of having been picturesquely wicked. Tell me why you belong to Market Square church. |"
 Because it's so respecta ble," he twinkled down at her. When an old sinner has lost every other claim to responsibility, he has himself put on the yestry"
 He dropped behind on their way to the door, to surreptitiously slip some thing, which looked like money, to the man with the roughly hewn counte- nance, and as he stood talking, Rev. Smith Boyd came in, not quite breath lessly, but as if he had hurried.
 T knew you were here" he said, taking Calls slender hand in his own; then his eyes turned cold. You recognized my pink ribbon bows" and she laughed up at him frankly. You haven't been over to sing lately"
 "No," he replied will you be at home this evening""
 I'll have our music selected" and in the very midst of her brightness, she was stopped by the sudden son. berness in the rector's eyes.
 Simple little conversation, quite trivial indeed, but it had been attend ed by much shifting thought. To be- gin with, the rector regretted the ne- cessity of disappearing of a young lady so undeniably attractive. She was pleasure to the eye and stim- ulus to the mind, and always his first impulse when he thought of her was one of pleasure. An incident flashed back to him. The night of the tobog- gan party, when she had stood with her face upturned, and the moonlight gleaming on her round white throat He had trembled, much to his later sorrow, as he fastened the scarf about her warm neck. However, she was the visiting niece of one of his vestry- men, who lived next door to the rec tory.
 Gail jerked her pretty head impa- tiently. If Rev. Smith Boyd meant to be as somber as this, she'd rather he'd stay at home. However, he was the rector, and her Uncle Jim was vestryman. and they lived right next door,
 You just escaped blowing up. Doctor Boyd" observed Daddy" Man ming, joining them, and his eyes twinkled from one to the other. Our young friend from the West Is harsh with the venerable Market Square church"
