 Allison helped her into his big. pi- ratical-iooklng run2bout. and tucked her in as if she were some fragile not house plant which might freeze with the first cool draft
 The pretty white snow is no friend of mine," he assured her, as he took the wheel and headed toward the ave nue. He looked calculatingly into the sky. This particular downfall Is likely to cost the Municipal rranspor' tation company several thousand dol lars"
 I'm curious to know the co;nmef' cial value of a sunset in New York. Gail smiled up at him. Allison had the impression that under the cover oi her exquisitely veined lids she was looking at him cornerwise. and having a great deal of fun all by herself.

 Now you're talking sentiment" re- torted stubby-mustached Jim Sargent. You said, while ago, that you came here strictly on business. So did we. This is no place for sentiment"
 Rufus Manning. with the tip of his silvery beard in his fingers. looked up into the delicate groining of the apse, where it curved gracefully forward over the head of the famous Henri Dupre's crucifix, and he grinned. Gail Sargent was looking contemplatively from one to the other of the grave yes trymen.
 You're right" conceded Allison curtly. Suppose you fellows talk it over by yourselves, and let me know your best offer.
 'Very well" assented Jim Sargent, with an indifference which did not seem to be assumed. We have some other matters to discuss, and we may as well thrash this thing out right now. We'll let you know tomorrow.

 I'll be very happy to take Miss Sargent anywhere shed like to go, offered Allison, almost instantane- ously.
 Much obliged, Allison" accepted Sargent heartily; "that is. if she'll go with you"
 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 back of the pew in front of him.
 .I think we'll have to make you a permanent member of the vestry," smiled Manning, the patriarch, as he bowed his adieus. We've been need ing a brightening influence for some time"
 Willis Cunningham, the thoughtful one, wedged his vandyke between the heads of Standard Cereal Clark and Banker Chisholm.

CHAPTER [.
No Place for Sentiment.

Silence pervaded the dim old aisles of the Market Square church; the win ter sun. streaming through the clere- story windows, cast, on the floor and on the vacant benches, patches of ruby and sapphire, of emerald and of topaz these seeming only to accentu- ate the dimness and the silence.
 In that silence the yestry door creaked, it opened wide, and it was as if vision had suddenly been set therei Bathed in the golden light from the transept window, brown haired, brown-eyed, rosy-cheeked, stood girl who might have been one of the slender stained-glass virgins come to life. the golden light flaming the edges of her hair into an aureole. She stood timidly, peering into the dimness, and On her beautifully curved lips was a half questioning smile.
