and died secure in his teachings, had
steadied him.
And now. when II was his heart that
failed. and not his soul. he went there
II was there that he found Elinor.
She was Just In front of him, In the
prim garb of an English army nurse.
And IL was no resemblance that reused
his first interest What he saw was
only a slender girl, kneeling, and evil
IDENTIFY in tears She was very thin;
he saw that. and her shoulders heaved
convulsiveiy. But as the service went
on she grew quieter. When she rose
from her knees at last. she was quite
calm
II was then that he knew her.
Ward watched her with an ache In
his throat. She looked frail. sad. Al
ways In his mind he had pictured her
in her summer garden, flower herself
among her flowers, or as she had
looked that night in old Hilary's IL
brary, the night when. to save him,
she had told him the shameful truth
about herself And now he found her
here, wearing the garb Of service, and
on her knees!
So fearful was he of losing her that
he stayed close as the congregation
moved slowly out of the church. She
did not Intend to 60; he saw that. She
stepped out of the crowd and waited.
Gunnison news-champion., 1918-08-09

He thought 1t probable that she was
seeking what he himself had once
sought-a quiet hour under holy roof.
And so 1t was that they came face to
face again. She put her hand to her
throat. with the familiar gesture, when
she saw him. For q moment neither
of them spoke. The ordinary greetings
were out Of place. and what was there
to say?
1t was Ward who spoke at last.
1T doesn't seepo quite possible. Eli.
nor" he said.
She had never been "Elinor" to him
save in his thoughts. But neither Of
them noticed.
II am sorry you have found me. I
have tried SO hard to bury myself"
1t was increasingly hard for him to
speak. All the things that had lain In
his heart for three years clamOred for
speech.
You are-qHite well again?'
Perfectly. But you? You are thin
ner."
II have worked hard and, of course.
/ have suffered. 1t was not easy-to
tear myself away from the few friends
had"
And then, at last, he broke into
speech, rapid. incoherent. He blamed
himself for his hardness that night In
old ,Hilary's library. he condemned him
self for thousand things. She lis
tened, rather 'bewildered, with the old
wistfulness In her eyes.

she asked at last, when he stopped
from sheer panic. ~You were right. I
was criminal. I have been learning
things since then. You were always
kind to me. have never forgotten"
"Kindw He almost groaned.
She held out her hand. II must go
now. Ny time is not my own" She
glanced down Mt her uniform. ''Do you
remember what you said to me once
about the brotherhood OF man? have
been trying to live up to that"
Ward took her hand. 1t was very
cold.
DO you remember that?"
Il remember almost everything you
told me. Even the things, that night.
while was watching the clock. I re-
member them all"
The church was empty, save for a
verger here and there. busy about his
duties. Quite suddenly Ward lost his
composure.
And II remember everything too.
Your smile. your eyes that night when

dear, my dear, you are written on my
heart"
He bent over, shaken and pale, and
kissed the palm OF her hand.
1T is you who are good" he said
huskily. 'T. who talked smugly of vir-
tue and tenderness and pity, and who
let you go out Of my life-I care for
you more than care for anything in
this world. I want you'll want you.-
Elfnor's eyes turned toward the high
altar with its cross. Always. when she
looked at 1t, she had seen the cross at
Saint Jude's. and the dawn, and spar.

her feet.

But her eyes came back to him, clear
and full Of promise.
Il have always loved you,- she said
MUply. IT will go with you. And

I was shocked to hear that, but when

that prohibition had taken her class
