And then there was the ever

some inquiries into the so-calleo

that there were benefactors behind

of whose lives was often doubtful.
One morning he received In tine

the bishop, making an appointment
for the next day. Holder, as ne

Involuntarily the rector reached
for his hat.
"I've sent out word among our
friends in Dalton street." Sally con-

not deceived; he knew that she was
as profoundly grieved and dis
couraged as himself. And I've got
