view of little lookout house perched
on a hill.
"Oh!" called Gail, involuntarily put
ting her hand on his arm. 81 want
to go up there!"
The work of Edward E. Allison was
well-nigh perfection. He stopped the
runabout exactly at the center of the
pathway, and was out and on Calls
side of the car with the agility of
youngster after a robins egg. He
helped her to alight, and would have
helped her up the hill with great
pleasure, but she was too nimble and
too eager for that, and was in the
lookout house several steps ahead OF
him.
When she was quite finished with
the view, and turned and went down
the hill, one of her tiny French heels
slid, and she might have fallen, had it
not been for the ironlike arm which
he threw back to support her. For
Just an instant she was thrown fairly
in his embrace, with his arm about
her waist and her weight upon his
breast; and, in that instant, the fire
which had been smoldering in him all
afternoon burst into flame. With a
mighty repression he resisted the i'm
pulse to crush her to him, and handed
her to the equilibrium which she in
stinctively sought, though the arm
trembled which had been pressed
about her. His heart sang, as he
helped her into the machine, and
sprang in beside her. He felt a saw
age joy in his strength as he started
the car and felt the wheel under his
hard grip. He was young, younger
than he had ever been in his boyhood /;
strong, stronger than he had ever
been in his youth. What worlds he
might conquer now with this new
blood racing through his veins. II

into the fires of eternal life, and en-.

Scene PAINTING.

In the past half century. and more
especially since the improvement of
the electric light, scene painting has
become very elaborate and very ex.
pensive. Instead of being kept in its
proper place as the decoration of the
drama, as a beautiful accessory Of the
action, it has often been pushed to
the front. so as to attract attention
from the play which it was supposed
to illuminate. Shakespeare has been
smothered IN scenery, and the art of
the actor has been subordinated to

bered just eight, and they were most
interesting! And this was a vestry
meeting!
'The topic of debate was money, l
believe" suggested Rufus Manning,
rescuing his sense Of humor from
somewhere in his beard. He was the
infidel member. Suppose we return
to it. Is Allison's offer worth consid-
ering?"
"Why?" inquired the nasal voice OF
clean-shaven old Joseph q. Cook, who
was sarcastic in money matters. The
Standard Cereal company had attained
its colossal dimensions through re-
bates; and he had invented the de-
vice! "The only reason we'd sell to
Allison would be that we could get
more money than by the normal re
turn from our Investment"
1--WE allowed two million for the
profit Of Market Square church in
dealing with me-" stated Allison, again
proffering the envelope which no one
made a move to take. II will not pay
a dollar more"
w. T. Chisholm was suddenly re
minded that the vestry had a mora
obligation in the matter under discus
sion. He was president Of the Males
tic Trust company, and never forgo
that fact.
ITO what use would you devote thu
property of Market Square church?
he gravely asked.
"The erection of terminal station

"WhN?"

"Snow!" exclaimed Gail in delight,
turning up her face to the delicate
flakes. And the sun shining. That
means snow tomorrow"
Allison helped her into his big, pi-
ratical-looking runabout, and tucked
her in as If she were some fragile hot
house plant which might freeze with
the first cool draft.
THE pretty white snow is no friend

the wheel and headed toward the ave-
nue.. He looked calculatingly into the
sky. This particular downfall is
likely to cost the Municipal Transpor-

Gail smiled up at him. Allison had
the impression that under the cover of
her exquisitely veined lids she was
looking at him cornerwise, and having
great deal of fun all by herself.

"You delivered a reckless shock to

"Well?" she demanded. Didn't he
ask my opinion?"
81 don't think he'll make the mis-
take again." and Allison took the cor
ner into the avenue at a speed which
made Gail, unused to bare inches o.
leeway, class Allison as a demon
driver. The tall traffic policeman
around whose upraised arm they hat
circled smiled frank tribute to hel
beauty, and she felt relieved. Sh'

Thank you," said Gail simply. as
she stepped out of the pew.
The gentlemen of the vestry rose
as one man. Old Nicholas Van Ploon
even attempted to stand gracefully on
one leg, while his vest bulged over the
bac'- of the pew in front of him.

bowed his adieus "We've been need

the organ loft, where the organist was
making his third attempt at that baf

"You haven't said how you like ouI

though he felt relieved that she was
going.
The sudden snap in Calls eyes fair
