 For a moment I stood waiting for Carl to pull himself together and turn to me with some of the stability and strength which had made him such a wonderful friend But when sev- eral minutes passed and Carl remain ed gazing out over the roofs of the city, decided to take matters into my own hands
 ''Carl, I've only a few minutes now But I'd like to arrange for a real conference at or 4:30, if that suits you,'' I said. You know we've a lot of loose ends to tie up before start out on my own. I don't want any ghosts of my sojourn at Haldane's rising to trouble me. Which hour suits your"
 ''F'ou-if that's all right for you" replied Carl in a smothered voice. Then, turning suddenly, he cried: You're a wonderful woman, Anne Harrison, and not Anne Lee. And there won't be any ghosts-to trou- ble you. Only a good friend to guard you from ghosts and other-pests.''
 50 that's that" I cried Then, with smile, I vertured to add. And, remennber,I count on the afore- mentioned and oft-tested friend"
 Then I whisked into my office, crushed away a fugitive tear or two and powdered my nose vigorously All of which, with hat to top it off, made me ready to go down to the street, where Lyons and the car were due at 1.
 How I managed it, I don't know but all thought of Carl in connec- tion with his moment of madness was promptly wiped from my mind and I resumed thinking of him as the big brother who has never failed in a, crisis. As to our little misad- venture, it didn't touch Jim's wife My only feeling about it is that Carl failed himself in a crisis, but that he'll somehow manage just because of it to be a stronger, sturdier man than he's ever been before.
 Where to, ma'am?" asked Lyons when reached the curb, where he and the car were waiting precisely as I'd known they would be.
 First, want a bite of lunch, then we'll inspect an office in this build ing" I said, handing Lyons the ad- dress of the place where Car1otta had taken the refusal of the third story for me. And then, Lyons, we'll drive to that quiet path you know in the park and discuss the problems He'd wig has brought up for us.''
 'Yes'n1,'' agreed Lyons, touching his cap with the smart salute he seems to delight to give.
 Hastily I got through my lunch. sending Lyons at the same time, and over his protest, to have a bite also. Then we drove to the little three story building where I was sure was going to locate even before inspected it's roomy, sunshiny spaces. Next we drove to a place where secondhand office furniture in good condition can be bought for a fraction of it's origin al cost. Then, with a feeling of achievem ment-because I'd just ac- complished one more errand than I'd been counting on-I saw Lyons turn

toward the park. We were heading again for the path on which he had stood months ago telling the story which landed Slim Darrow in the penitenttary and which had crystal lized my doubts of Dad Lee into one mass with my fears of Dick West.
 Strangely enough, we rolled along. I found myself thinking of Virginia, rather than of myself or even of Jim. But indirectly, my re- factions about Virginia were con- cerning themselves with Jim, too for l was dwelling on something he'd said of her back in the cruel days when she had been estranged so bitterly from Pat.
 You can't do much to fight the re- serve that comes pretty near being tragedy for her." Jim had said.
 It was true then. It is true now. And even with Phoebe happily mar rfed to Neal, I've never been so far from my husband and his world oi
 Harrosnfa'' as now. For if Phoebe's marriage widened the gap between Virginia and me in 8 certain tragic. diSnified way, this ugly squabble of our servants seemed about to en1proil us in a nasty snarl which we could only get out of by laughing ourselves clear. But there wasn't much hope that Virginia could laugh down her icy dignity, nor yet the reserve that comes pretty near being tragedy for her'-and for every one else who deals with her.
 Grimly I set my lips and registered a silent VOW:
 "Virginia Dalton. I saved you once from yourself and for Pat But that was after you'd played hob with Pats happiness-and almost with his mor- al fibre. don't expect gratitude from you. But I expect square deal-and some day I'm going to ex- act 1t. Not for myself. but for Phoebe and Neal-and Jim, perhaps. And when I demand payment. you're not going to refuse. So that's that my Lady Disdain."
 The car was spinning along as reflected Presently it slowed down g. bit, turned a familiar curve and made its way into the little seclud ed birch-hung path which poor Sheldon Blake had shown to me in the first months of my marriage. In the most sheltered part Of that quiet path Lyons came to a. full halt. stepped out and stood, once before he had stood, respectfully waiting for me to open the conversation.
 Well, Lyons, what have you to tell me this time? Is t news of Dick West-or only of Slim Darrow?"
 I smiled reassuringly as spoke The reinsurance was for myself as well as for the man standing in the path with one foot on the running board of Anthony Norrey's car. News of Dick West or of Dad Lee was what I craved, but not even to the trusted chauffeur who's elected him- self my bodyguard could I mention Dad Lees name.
 "'Tain't of neither of them that I want to talk to you, Mis- Harrison. said Lyons, fumb1ing with his cap. But of the woman Hedwig. For. begging your pardon, ma'an. that old gal is-sone gaL'

There's a playwright who had 12 empty, half starved years back of him when he made his first success on Broadway.

She was standing under the mar TOW trap-door in the low ceiling now, end now she pushed it up, and lift fns the candle through the opening set 4 down on the inner surface of the ceiling, which, like some vast shelf. Gypsy Nan had metamorphosed into that exhaustive storehouse of ed Soles, of p1under-a curious and sin Ester collection that was eloquent of a gauntlet long flung down against the law. She emptied the pocket of her skirt. retaining only the revolver, and substituted the articles she had re- moved with the tin box that contain ed the dark compound Gypsy Nan, and she herself, as Gypsy Nan, had Hsed to rob her face of youthfulness, and give it the griny, absolute and haggard aspect which was so simple and yet so efficient a disguise.
 She worked rapidly now, changing Ter clothes She could not go. or act, as Gypsy Nan; and so she must :-so In her own character, go as the VFhiSe MO1I-because that was the lesser ranger, the one that held the only promise of success.

Somewhere somewhere out in the night, some where away from this garret where all connection with it was severed, she must complete the transformation from Gypsy Nan to the White Mo11. She could only prepare for that now as best she could.
 And there was not a moment to lose. The thought made her frantic. Over her own clothes she put on again Gypsy Mans greasy skirt, and drew on again, over her own silk ones. Gypsy Mans coarse stockings. She put on Gypsy Mans heavy and disreputable boots, and threw the old shawl again over her head and shou1- ders. And then, with her hat-for the small shape of which she breath ed a. prayer of thankfulness!-and her own shoes under her arm and covered by the shawl, she took the candle again, closed the trap-door, and stepped over to the washstand. Here, she dampened a rag, that did duty as a facecloth, and thrust it into her pocket; then, blowing out the candle, she groped her way to the door, locked it behind her, and with out any attempt at secrecy made her way downstairs.

Foreign Missions have given an

spirit OF stewardship in the church.

most has been the greatest gainer
f. NJ. alone is the conserving agent
OF the church. Is your congrega-
ton or society dead? Preach Mis-
slons, talk missions pray missions,
and behold the resurrection.
The inspiration that comes from
Christ must have outlet In service.

service has its greatest reflex.

friendship spirit. It is the Mission
ary who has interpreted the best In
the non-Christian peoples TO the
Christian nations. II is also the
Missionary who removes prejudice
