winding paths and innEmerable steps
to go up and go down, and feeble
shrubbery, and a general air of MAX
ing the best of things. Perhaps there
is something in the very forlorness
of the hillside retreat which appeals
to Tavy. and perhaps it is because
she has so few opportunities to be
quite alone with her endless task of
ash heaping, but, whenever there is
no stage in sight, she wanders down
for five minutes stroll around the
poor little fountain, and sometimes
even sits on one of the starved look

To-day, she rounds the little clump
of shrubbery toward the fountain, her
eyes cast to the ground, and her
thoughts sombre with the weight of

upon herself, and which she has be-

range to have some one take her to
the theater, so that he could have
even Halls hungry privilege of the
opera glasses! Poor Hal. This treat
was cut off from him, too, now. 1t
was one more of the black conse-
quences piled up on Billy's head.
He must see her! The lights went
out in the bay window up there, and
1t might have soothed him some to
know, though 1t would have hurt him,
too, that, when Tavy went back into
the delft and white room, she kneeIed
by her bed and bowed her head on
her arms, and longed and longed for
n sight of Billy as he Ionged and long
ed for a sight of her! Ashes are a
light covering with which to hide IA
heart, Tavy. and there are hearts
which must still ache, no matter how
deeply they are buried.
Morning. Three times a week, at
ten-thirty, Tavy hurries off for her
music lesson. Just across the Drive,
at the corner where she takes the
stage, are some steps leading down
the bank. There is a sort of forlorn

cussion in the newspapers for several
years and wide diversity of opinion
has been expressed by preachers and
laymen. At one extremity in the de-
bate stand those who emphatically
answer the question by saying: Moth

reply everything AS in the case
of the blind men of Hindoostan who
went to see the elephant, probably all
are partly in the right and partly IN
the wrong. At the present moment 1t
is rot our purpose to take up the mer-

print a communication which came to
the Express. We happen to know that
the writer OF this article is not a high
brow scoffer or a reprobate but a
plain, honest, sincere man who treats
the subject seriously. He heads his
article, mot the Church but the Peo.

While there ! dressed in my best the
first Sunday and went to one of the
largest churches. An usher met me
and took me to a good seat; he also
brought me song book. When church
was over the minister and a few 9th
ers came and gave me the glad hand.
The next Sunday | went to the same
church but in working clothes although
my face and hands were clean. The
ushers paid no attention to me. /

churches in that city and they were

of my best friends died went to
his funeral ! never saw a Chickasha
church so crowded before, but the
minister instead OF saying one good
thing for my friend said all the bad
he could. This friend of mine was
different from the average church
