"Oh, these sleek, high-salaried cler-
gymen Of fashionable parishes in big
cities - exclaimed Ann Taylor. "Well,
it's about the softest job 1 know Of J"
The man sitting at her side on the
beach eyed her with mixture OF
amusement and opposition. He was
of the student type.
"Well, I don't know" he answered.

ooh, lots of people are busy without

sarcastic smile. "And my interpreta-
ton might differ considerably from
that Of the fashionable clergyman.
How can anyone do big things who
doesn't take a big view Of life? And
how can one take a big view if he
doesn't get out among humanity, and
know it from the slum to the mansion?
The fashionable clergyman knows hui
mainly Of the mansion-that is, he
knows it on nice terms of social Ell
quette. Does he know any other
phase of the great human mass?"
This time the man looked at her
with more questioning than opposition.
"There may be some truth in that"
he admitted.
"Some Of these men are very much
In earnest. They write sermons that
show thought, scholarship and a high
desire to help humanity. Doubtless
they do some good. But when they
get that far, I'm always wishing some

Mary FOllin had come up in time to

was very much up-to-date, and very

"What" she exclaimed in Mortified
amazement. Did she dare to say that
TO you?"
ST don't think she knows I'm cler-
gyman. But don't krow as it would
make any difference if she did,"
Rev. Royal Speed, rector of st. An
,thony's, spoke with quiet amusement,
and sifted some sand through his fin
gers. But indignant protest played
upon the features Of Miss Follin.
II wouldn't be surprised at anything
she might say" she rejoined. "She's
rather dreadful person when she
gets started on those frightful, liberal
ideas of hers. I didn't mention you

because I feared the first thing she
would do would be to start an argu-

"Yes, I did. A rest-and to be with
