KINGSLEY A HARD WORKER
Famous Author Often Broke Down and
Had to Quit-His Impressive
Sermons.

Kingsley's life raj a series Of ups
and downs. He would work with such
fury, writing letters, preaching, visit
ing the sick, teaching, smoking all
day, and at night, after the rest of the
house were all in bed, sitting up till
the small hours writing at n of his
novels, that, after several months Of
this kind of thing, he would have a
breakdown and be ordered to quit.
At first he thought what he needed
was physical exercise, and off he would
go on a long tramp Of a fishing trip.
But soon he learned that what he
must have was absolute quiet, says
Hildegarde Hawthorne in st. Nicholas,
and then he would sit for hours in the
sun, soaking in some lovely scene be-
fore him and-waiting till his energy
returned, as peacefully as he might.
Every now and then he was subject
to intense fits of depression, such as
men of his temper are apt to suffer,
but his buoyant spirit o o came sing
ing home again, and the boy In him
walked with a shout, ready for play
and for work.
Kingsley made a tremendous impress
sion in his lifetime, not SO much from
anything he actually did, but because
of all he hoped and wanted to do, and
tried to make people see was worth
doing. His sermons were listened to
breathlessly; and though the owen
tional churchmen did not approve of
him, his congregations loved him. Once
he was preaching to a throng of work
ingmen, and, when he had finished, the
incumbent, one of the dignitaries Of
the church, rose and said that he did
not believe in most of what Mr.. King
sley had said and had expected a very
different sermon. Kingsley made no
reply, simply bowling his head. But as
he walked back through the aisle the
men in the seats near him stretched
out their hands to touch him as he
passed and murmured blessings on
him.
He loved the poor, the weak, the I'M
happy, and he gave himself to them
with a fervor 1t is hard to realize.
He loved gay and gallant doings. clean
and bright, as you a see in his books.

plans, and who offers them through
you, to France, for a price"
But why introduce yourself to me
in this extraordinary fashion to con
summate a transaction for which the
ordinary channels with which you
must be familiar are entirely ade-
quate?"
Simply because Ekstrom has fol-
lowed me to Paris" Lanyard explained
indulgently. "Did l venture to ap-
preach you through the customary
channels, my chances of rounding out
a useful life thereafter would be prac-
tically nil. Furthermore, my circum-
stances are such that it has become
necessary for me to leave France i'm

main here to We butchered. Now you
command the only means l know Of to
accomplish my purpose And that is
the price, the only price, you will have
to pay me for these plans"
II don't understand you"
at is on schedule, is it not, that Cap
tain Vauquelin of the aviation corps is
to attempt a nonstop flight from Paris
to London this morning, with two pas
sengers, in a new PARROT biplane?"
THAT is so. Well?"
81 must be one Of those passengers;
and / have a companion, a young lady,
who will take the place of the other"
'It isn't possible, monsieur. Those
arrangements are already fixed"
"You will countermand them"
"But there is no time"
"You can get into telephone COM
munication with Port Aviation in two
minutes"
"But the passengers have already
been promised
"You will disappoint them"

flush of daylight. How could you reach
Port Aviation In timer"
'In your motor car, monsieur"
ut cannot be DONE"
1T must! If the start must be de-
layed until we arrive, you will give
orders that it shall be SO delayed"
For a minute the minister Of war
~hesitated; then he shook his head def
nitely.
"The difficulties are insuperable-"
"There is no such thing, monsieur"
II am sorry; 1t can't be done"

CHAPTER xx-Continued.

They had to walk as far as the
Place de Trocadero before Lanyard
found a cab, which he later dismissed
at the corner of the Faubourg st. Ger
Enain.
Another brief walk brought them to
a gate in the garden wall of a resi-
dence situated at the junction of two
quiet streets.
This, l think, ends u Partisan
wanderings," Lanyard announced. IF
you'll be good enough to keep an eye
for busybodies-and yourself as in
conspicuous as possible in the recess
of this doorway"
And he walked back to the curb,
measuring the wall with his aye.
What are you going to do?"
He responded by doing it so swiftly
that she gasped with surprise; pausing
momentarily within a yard of the walk,
he gathered himself together, shot up
aithely into the air, caught the top
curbing with both hands, and She
heard the soft thud of his feet on the
earth of the enclosure, and the latch
grated behind her as the door opened.
For the last time" Lanyard
laughed quietly from the aperture,
permit me to invite you to break the
law by committing an act Of trespass!"
Securing the door, he led her to a
garden bench secluded amid conven-
1tional shrubbery.
IF you'll wait here" he suggested
well it will be best. I'll be back as
soon as possible, though l may be de-
tanned some time. Still, inasmuch as
I'm about to break into this house, my
motives, which are most commendable,
may be misinterpreted, and I'd rather
you waited here, with the street at
hand. If you hear a noise like trouble
you've only to unlatch the gate. But
lets trust that my purely benevolent
Intentions toward the French republic
won't be misconstrued!"
"TTl wait" she assured him bravely;
Tbut won't you tell me-"
With a hand he indicated the man.
sion towering above them.
I'm going to break in there to pay
an early morning call and impart some
Interesting information to a person Of
considerable consequence nobody
less, in fact, than M. Ducroy."
"And who is he?"
"The present minister of war. We
haven't as yet the pleasure of each
others acquaintance; still l think he
won't be sorry to see me. In brief,
mean to make him a present of the
Huysman plans and bargain for safe
conduct for us both from France"
Impulsively she offered her hand
and, when he somewhat difidently
took it, she gave his fingers a firm
compelling pressure with her own.
"Be CAREFUL" she whispered broken
tIy, her pale, sweet face upturned tt
his. "oh, do be careful! am afrait
for you"
And for a moment the temptation
to take her in his arms seemed strong
4er than any he had aver known.
But reminding himself that he hat
voluntarily stipulated for a years pro
baton, he released. her hand with al
ancoherent humble, turned, and hastil!

gered by a brutal blow from a trusted
hand, Lanyard turned from the bench
and stumbled out of the garden and to
the junction with the cross street. But
nowhere in the compass Of their per-
spectives could he see anything that
moved.
After some time he returned to the
garden and quartered 1t with the thor
oughness of a pointer beating a covert.
But he did this hopelessly, bitterly
aware that the outcome would be pre-
cisely what 1t eventually was-that
is to say, nothing.
He was kneeling beside the bench
scrutinizing the turf round about with
microscopic attention by aid Of his
fashlamp, seeking some sign Of strug-
gle to prove she had not left him will
ingly; and finding none-when a voice
brought him momentarily out Of his
distraction.
He looked up wildly, to discover Du-
croy standing over him, his stout per-
son chastely swathed in a quilted
dressing-gown with trousers, his ex-
preston one of stupefaction.
We'll, monsieur-well?" the minis
ter of wal demanded irritably. What
i repeat-are you doing there"
Lanyard essayed response, choked
up, and gulped. He rose and stood
swaying, showing a stricken face, but
for the moment couldn't speak.
"Eh?" Ducroy insisted, with an &C.
cent Of evaporation. why do you
stand glaring at me like that-ehi
Come, monsieur; what ails you?

Lanyard made a broken gesture.
