NHeH the Ola clergyman nedTu
the announcement of his daughters
wedding his broad frame shook and
his face whitened with rage.
"She has defied me, disgraced her
self and outraged her mothers mem
DRY. She is no daughter of mine,
| will not see her, will not forgive
her"
But Della Plympton did not come
10 ask forgiveness.
When Della was 10 her beloved
mother died.
When they came home from the
funeral her father said. Your moth
er's duties fall to you. trust you
will perform them as ably and beau
tifully as she"
Patiently. submissively as her
mother before her, Della took up
the burden. She managed their
home. She taught Sunday school
Under her fathers direction she
grew into church work.
The Rev. Plymptons dominating
force had given him the name Of the
clergyman militant. Unyielding will
had hacked his way 10 the front OF
UNCONVENTIONAL affairs. His con-
gregation held him in awe and many
OF the clergy feared him.
After two years of faithful atten-
ton 10 her duty Della was invited
on a mountain trip with party OF
young people. She went to her faith
er with the matter.
Let your duty be your pleasure
and recreation" he said. You have
much TO do here TO fill your moth
ers place" Della refused the IN.
vitation and redoubled her efforts
in visiting the sick.
STRAIGHTFORWARD and black.frock-
ed, Della had none the less the
pink-cheeked roundness OF girlhood.
She sang in the choir The organ
ist liked her singing. He came oc-
casionally to practice with her and

church.
Said her father after two months,
You are too young 10 receive a
mans attention. II will draw you
away from the sacred duty entrust-
ed to you" The organist ceased his
calls and Della avoided any more
than bare friendliness with any
young men in the church.
At %, Della grew bold enough to
hint to her father that her life was
too serious for young girl, that
she was molding herself entirely to
his ideals.
Your mothers IDEAL" he correct
ed her. "Gayety you get in church
social affairs" Della knew the
work and organization of those so
cial affairs left little time for
"gayety."
Della was 26. With her fathers
guidance she filed each day with
the activities that had been her
mothers. Then came the chance
10 take low-rate excursion across
the continent with friends.
THE money and effort you want
for selfish pleasure would better be
devoted TO the poor" She stayed
at home and gave 800 each to the
home and foreign missionary socIe-
ties.
Soon after. the Rev. Plympton &C
cepted call 10 high position in
UNCONVENTIONAL affairs. Many &C.
knowledged his fitness for the place.
Some said he hammered his way
to II by persistent self-seeking. The
demure Miss Plympton felt the
weight OF additional duties in help
