 waves with troubled eyes.
 Penny for your thoughts" The i'm 1 possibly handsome Dick Rodley had strolled up, in his blue jacket and white trousers and other nautical em- bellishments.
 The news in the paper" she told him. It's so big"
 ! Dick looked down at her critically. She was so new a Gail to him that he was puzzled. and worried. too, for he felt, rather than saw, that some trouble possessed this dearest of his friends.
 "Yes, it is big news" he admitted; {; : "big enough and startling enough to impress anyone very gravely." Then he shook his head at her. But you mustn't worry about it, Gail. You're not responsible"
 Gail turned her eyes from him and looked out over the white-edged waves ! again.
 ! Tt is a tremendous responsibility ! she unused, whereupon Dick, as be- came him. violently broke the thread | of thought by taking her arm and | drawing her away from the rail, and walking gayly with her up to the for ward shelter deck, where, shielded from the crispness of the wind, there sat, around the big table and amid a tangle of Sunday papers. Jim Sar- gent and Rev. Smith Boyd, Arly and Gerald Fosland, all four deep in the 1 discussion of the one possible topic : of conversation. "Allison's explosion again" objected Dick, as Gail and he joined the group, and caught the general tenor of the ] thought. T suppose the only way to escape that is to jump of the White cap. Calls worse than any of you. | find she's responsible for the whole ! thing"
 Arly and Gerald looked up quickly. q neither said nor intimated any thing of the sort" Gail reprimanded | Dick, for the benefit of the Foslands, and she sat down by Arly, whereupon Dick, observing that he was much of tended. patted Gail on the shoulder. and disappeared in search of Ted.
 I'd like to hand vote of thanks to the responsible party" laughed Jim Sargent, to whom the news meant more than Gail appreciated. With Allison broke, Urbank of the Midcon- tinent succeeds to control of the A-P., and Urbank is anxious to incorporate the Towando Valley in the system. He told me so yesterday
 The light which leaped into Calls eyes, and the trace of color which flashed into her cheeks, were most comforting to Arly; and they ex- changed a smile of great satisfaction. They clutched hands ecstatically un- der the corner of the table, and want ed to laugh outright. However, It would keep.
 The destruction of MT. Allison was a feat of which any gentleman's con science might approve" commented Gerald Foslard, who had spent some time in definitely settling with himself the ethics of that question. The company he proposed to form was a menace to the liberty of the world and the progress of civilization"
 "The destruction didn't go far enough" snapped Jim Sargent Clark, Vance, Haverman, Grandin, Babbitt, Taylor Chisholm; these fellows won't , be touched, and they built up their monopolies by the same method Ali son proposed; trickery. force and plain theft!"
 Harsh language. Uncle Jim Sar- gent. to use toward your respectable fellow-vestrymen." chided Arly. her black eyes dancing.
 Clark and Chisholm?" and Jim Sar- gents Drows krotted. They're not my fellow-vestrymen. Either they go , or l dol"
 "l would like you to remain" qui- etly stated Rev Smith Boyd ''I hope to achieve several important altera- tions in the ethics of Market Square church." He was grave this morning He had unknowingly been ripening for some time on many questions; and the revelations in this mornings pa- pers had brought him to the point of decision. T wish to drive the money changers out of the temple" he added. and glanced at Gail with a smile in which there was acknowledgement. "A remarkably lucrative enterprise, eh Gail?" laughed her Uncle Jim, re- membering her criticism on the occa- sion of her first and only vestry meet ing, when she had called their atten- tion to the satire of the -stained-glass window.
 You will have still the scribes and pharisees. doctor; those who stand praying in the public places, so they may be seen of all men," and Gail smiled across at him, within her eyes the mischievous twinkle which mad been absent for many days.
 q hope to be able to remove the public place." replied the rector. with gravity which told of something vi- tai beneath the apparent repartee. Mrs. Boyd. strolling past with Aunt Grace Sargent. paused to look at him fOnlly "I shall set myself with such
