name-once, twice-but he did
not reply. With some difficulty he
found the iron ring of the door,
and tugged it open.
Sabine stood alone. Her eyes
were humid; her lower lip, which
seemed fuller than usual, for it
was a trifle out-thrust, was moist
as a small, fresh wound. He
would return. A suave glow suf-
fused her.
Her faith in the love-draught
was as implicit as Sidonia's. Ger
vais was visibly in the tolls of the
witch-net. Presently he would re-
turn. She freed her hair from its
captivity, passed comb through
it and began to divest herself of
her garments. She had seen to it
that neither Anne nor Margaret
would attend upon her this night.
AS the feathers billowed up about
her she repeated the Latin night
prayers she had learned in child
hood. Presently Gervais would
return. All was well with the
world. She felt just sufficiently
drowsy to be deliciously comfort
able. Her certainties, which were
also ex1ectancies, lulled even as
they glowingly warmed her.

CHAPTER XIII.

1NWARDLf he was furious
distracted between the rage and
worship of love. He had for
gotten Sabine as completely as
Sidonia had. To his sight, as he
reluctantly faced her, she might
have been a nightmare nag. She
was the last person whom be
wanted to see.
Gervais was trifle pale, she
thought. Poor lad! No doubt the
spell that was being at that mo-
ment perfected in the unlightej
turret-room was having an uneasy
effect upon him. What was he
doing in the gallery?-Ah, well,
it was a matter of no importance.
Everything that was of importance
would be contaminated presently.

Eyes, madam"
He wanted to break into abrupt
questions-who was this girl?
What was her name? How did she
come here, and when? But he re-
manned like tongue-tied boy
bound with invisible letters against
which the sinews of his spirit
strained almost to the point Of
physical anguish. Rigid, he fol-
lowed Sabine into the great cham
Der.
Sabine was experiencing spe-
cies of suave thrill-the sort Of
satisfaction a prosperous person
might feel if he were safe in
Heaven at last with the gate shut.
The small quantity of liquid in the
wine cup was puzzling, but there
must, she supposed, be some occult
reason for it. Perhaps a lesser
draught possessed a more concen-
trated potency.

not those lacking who attributed
them to a Strange interposition
of Providence" In accordance
with his custom, Charrington
called on a Mrs. Rose to inform
her that she was on his "black
book" and that he intended taking
proceedings against her and clos
ing her house of infamy.
She was standing at her door
when she heard he was coming,
ran inside and dropped dead on
the floor. 1t is remarkable fact
that inside her hOuse-and this
was the case in many Instance
a photograph Of the evangelist
was found. 1t is conceivable that
they were anxious that new re-
cruits to the army of vice recog-
nize and shun him.

ion. "If ! don't do for Charming

he exclaimed, "may ] be struck

pallid. He staggered, and then fell
like a stone-dead.
The work that Charrington ac-
complished was looked upon as lit
tie short Of miraculous. He closed
more than four hundred b a d
houses. He saved hundreds of
girls, who were induced TO 90 to
a beautiful home established by
the bount-' Of Lady Ashburton. He
attacked, and destroyed, dope dens
by the score. He made it the fash
ion in the East End TO be sober.

with food and the young with
decent literature. Long before
the era of the movies CharringtOn
gave exhibitions of dissolving
views with a powerful lantern.
1t was here, by the way, that for
the first time there was shown
picture Of Dickens, the novelist Of
the people, sitting in his study
chair and a moment later the same
chair vacant.
But the evangelist had other
and wider plans in view. He stood
as candidate for the London
County Council the governing
body Of the metropolis. He was
elected-despite the resolute oppo-
sitiOn Of vested interests-and at
once set about the publication Of
the music halls.
It insult be borne in mind that
Charrington was without legal
training that he had no barrister
to speak for him, and that he had
as opponents such lawyers as the
late Lord Russell of KilOwsn and
Sir Forest Fulton, afterwards the
Recorder of London.
He became the object Of a bit
ter press campaign, but he perse-
vered, and much later-with the
assistance of Mrs. Ormistoun
Chaunt-he saw the abolition of
many Of the evils he had so stead
tasty been fighting.
There were two tragic incidents
which happened to people who op-
posed Mr.. Charrington's crusades
about this period, and there were
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-20

In the course of his career Mr..
Charrington fought a lumber Of
brewers and distillers who were
candidates for the London School
Board. He went to one of their
meetings unattended and, when
one of the speakers in hating
phrase said, eve have-er-to--
er-consider the women and chill
dren who need our-er-er help"
he interrupted, and, in a voice
which rang through the crowded
room, said: "You brewers and dis
tillers have the poverty, sadness
and ruin Of these infants on your
conscience"
There was a-scene, but Charring-
ton had many supporters who hur-
ried him to the platform, where he
continued his speech. He proposed
the candidacy of woman who wa
a well-known temperance advocate,
and his resolution was carried.
Amidst a storm of applause he was
borne shoulder high from the
room. His candidate headed the
poll.
Charrington bought the Island
of Osea, built a home for inebri-
ates there, and gave them
chance to get away from the curse
of strong drink"
And now let the writer give
last picture Of the noble philan-
thropist who surrendered his for
tune and a life Of luxury to save
his fellows, as he saw him in his
dressing room. He is growing
feeble, though there is still some

away from him. He knew that he
was drunk. What should he do?
Find the girl of faery. He CROPPED.
Everything swan. Everything
was as blind as a bat. His hand
encountered the churchyard cold
ness of wall of stone and he felt
his way slowly along it, trying to
steady himself. The girl had said
that he did not love her, but that
was untrue. He loved, body md
soul. He was ready to worship her
in both flesh and spirit.
The death-cold wall appeared to
be interminable. And he was i'm
patient to find love. But he was
drunk. The disgrace of it over
whelmed him like seventh wave.
He wanted to sob, but stiffened
himself instead; endeavoring to
preserve a normal balance. But
the darkness rocked.
The iron ring-handle of a door!
Her door, it must be. He grip
ped it like a drowning man, sway
ing on his feet. Then, lurching,
pushed 'against it, and it grated
open a little way.
There was obscurity here also,
but it was not eyeless. Before
him, high up, ruby cross shone
with a dull glimmer, cross that
leaned slantingly athwart the
shoulder of a crouching, pale
fleeced lamb, the Lamb Of God!
A musty incense-odor appealed to
his muddled senses. He had en-
tered the chapel-like oratory of
the Holy Count, where, on occa-

Mr.. ]. B. Wookey, his devoted
companion and secretary, told the
writer of men and women who had
been pulled out of the quicksands
of drink and vice. On the plat
form of the great assembly hall
there appeared as preachers men
who have carved their names'in the
temple of wickedness. One man
an engine driver-was known as
"Hellfire Tom" Once, when he
was drunk, this man had driven his
locomotive against the signals.
But for what men call luck he and
the passengers would have been in
volved in a mighty catastrophe.
This man served sentence of
Imprisonment for his offenses, and
then signed the pledge and became
one of the most earnest of Mr..
Carrington's workers. Then there
was Harvey Teasdale-known be-
cause of the parts he took in pam
tomimes as the man monkey-who
became one of the preachers in the
hall. But perhaps the most amaz-
ing of them all was Henry Hollo-
way. He was a convicted burglar
who had passed seven years in the
hulks at Gibraltar. Once, when he
was delivering the message, a
crowd or rough-looking men clam
ored at the doors of the hall for
admission.
"Oh, Mr.. Charrington." they
said. "you must let us in. We are
all returned convicts and we want

sions, religious services was cele-
brated for the household.
He stood swaying, looking up at
the narrow sacred window that the
moonlight caused to glimmer
duly. He was unworthy to find
love, for love was holy. The feel
ing of disgrace and of self-shame
was too great to be borne standing
upright. His knees bent, and in
a momentsmore he was prone on
his face on the stone pavement
of the oratory, his forehead rest
ing against his bent arm. Fiery
wheels seemed to be turning on
either side of him, though there
was no sight to his eyes. Unworthy
desire passed over him like sue
cessive ripples of flame, and he
groaned. After a while came
numbness, begotten by the cold
about him, the cold beneath him,
the heavy wine and the drug.
Face downward on the stones he
slept, breathing audibly.
Perhaps an hour passed, or a
little more. The long, prone
figure, with its forehead resting
on its arm, moved. The head
lifted. There was a stir, an in
articulate sound like that which
a heavy sleeper utters when alb
ruptly awakened by call. Ger
vais, sitting upright, and chatting
his limbs instinctively with the
palms of his hands, was as dazed
as person who has died and come
to life again. But someone had

life of the school. It's theory is,
Learn by Doing"
The Camp Fire teaches citizenship
teamwork, and group activity. 1t cor
relates school studies The going to

the spirit of play for the sake of play
Camp Fire believes in training girls
for citizenship, not only by develop
ing in them those traits which make
for good citizenship, but by giving
them an opportunity for serving, and
recognizing with hondrs the, tasks
which they are able to perform for
their community.
One of the distinctive points in the
Camp Fire program is what has been
called the Seek Beauty" part. This
emphasis on the beautiful of life is
expressed by the Camp Fire music, by
craft work pottery weaving, bead
work, basketry, dying, stenciling, and
block printing! by the ritual of their
ceremonial meetings, and by their use
OF simple primitive American symbol
ism.
The girls win honors by accom-
plisring certain specified tasks
These (about eight hundred of them)
are grouped under seven crafts
Home, Health, Hand, Camp, Nature
BUSINESS and Patriotism
These range all the way from tax
ing care of a baby to swimming a
hundred yards, and cover practically
every phase of girls natural activities
and interests.
These beads which the girls win
and which they wear with their cere-
monial gowns are not so much re
wards as they are symbols of things
accomplished.
The Camp Fire has three ranks.
Woodga er, Firemaker, and Torch
bearer. A certain number of honors
are required for each. The rank of
Torchbearer is given to assistant
guardian.
The law of the Camp Fire is. Seek
Beauty, Give service, Pursue know
ledge, be trustworthy, Hold on to
health, Glorify work and Be happy.
