C H A PT E R XXVIII.

A M a t t e r o f C on sc ience .Sa il stood a t th e ra il o t th e White-

cap, gazing ou t over the dancing blue waves w ith troubled eyes.

"Penny for your though ts.’' T he im ­possibly handsom e D ick Rodley had stro lled up, In his blue ja ck e t and white trousers and o th e r nau tica l em ­bellishm ents.

“The news in th e paper,” she told him. “I t ’s so big.”

D ick looked down a t h e r critica lly . She was so new a Gail to him th a t he was puzzled, and worried, too, for he felt, ra th e r th an saw, th a t some troub le possessed th is d e a re s t of his friends.

“Yes, it is big new s,” he adm itted ; "big enough and s ta r tlin g enough to im press anyone very gravely .” Then he shook his head a t he r. “But you m ustn ’t worry abou t it, Gail. You’re no t responsib le .”

Gail tu rned h e r eyes from him and looked ou t over th e white-edged waves again.

“I t is a trem endous responsib ility ,” she mused, whereupon Dick, as be­cam e him . vio lently broke th e th read of though t by tak ing he r a rm and draw ing he r aw ay from the rail, and w alking gayly w ith h e r up to the for­w ard sh e lte r deck, where, shielded from th e crispness c f th e wind, th e re sa t, around th e big tab le and am id a tang le of Sunday papers,- J im Sar­g en t and Rev. Sm ith Boyd, A rly and Gerald Fosland, all four deep in the discussion of th e one possib le topic Ol conversation.

“Allison’s explosion again ,” objected Dick, as Gail and he jo ined th e group, and caugh t the genera l teno r o f the thought. “I suppose th e only way to escape th a t is to jump off the White- cap. Gail's w orse th an any of yon, J find sh e ’s responsib le for th e whole th ing .”

A rly and Gerald looked up quickly.“I n e ith e r said n o r in tim ated any­

th ing of th e so rt,” Gail reprim anded Dick, fo r the benefit of th e Fcslands, and she s a t down by Arly, whereupon Dick, observing th a t h e was much of­fended, pa tted Gail cn the shoulder, and d isappeared in search cf Ted.

“I ’d like to hand a vote of th ank s to th e responsib le pa rty ,” laughed Jim Sargent, to whom the new s m eant m ore th an Gail appreciated . “W ith A llison broke, U rbank of the Midcon­t in en t succeeds to contro l of th e A.-P., and U rbank is anxious to inco rporate th e Towandq Valley m the system He to ld m e so yesterday "

T he tigh t which leaped into Gail's eyes, and th e tra c e of color which flashed in to he r cheeks, were most com forting to Arly; and they ex­changed a sm ile of g rea t satisfaction . They clutched hands ecsta tically un­der th e co rner of th e tab le , and w ant­ed to laugh outrigh t. However, it would keep.

“The destruc tion of Mr. Allison was a fea t of which any gen tlem an 's con­science m ight approve,” commented Gerald Fosland, who had spen t some tim e in definitely se ttling w ith h im self th e e th ics of th a t question. “The company he proposed to form was a m enace to th e liberty of th e world and th e p rogress of civ ilization .”

“The destruc tion d idn’t go fa r enough,” snapped Jim Sargent. “Clark, Vance, H averm an, G randin, Babbitt, T aylor, Chisholm ; th ese fellows won't be touched, and they built up the ir monopolies by th e sam e m ethod Alli­son proposed; tricke ry , force and p lain th e f t !”

“H arsh language, Uncle Jim Sar­gen t, to use tow ard your respectab le fellow -vestrym en,” chided Arly, her b lack eyes dancing.

“C lark and Chisholm ?” and Jim Sar­g e n ts Prows kno tted . “They 're not my fellow -vestrymen. E ith e r they go o r I do !”

“I would like you to rem ain ,” qui­e tly s ta ted Rev. Sm ith Boyd. “I hope to achieve seve ra l im portan t a lte ra ­tions iu th e e th ics of M arket Square church .” He was grave th is morning. H e had unknow ingly been ripening for some tim e on m any questions; and th e reve la tions in th is m orning’s pa­pe rs had brought him to th e poin t of decision. “I wish to drive th e money changers ou t of th e tem ple,” he added, and glanced a t Gail w ith a sm ile in which th e re was acknow ledgm ent.

"A rem arkab ly lucra tiv e en te rp rise , eh Gail?” laughed h e r Uncle Jim , re­m em bering h e r c ritic ism on th e occa­sion of h e r first and only vestry m eet­ing, when she had called th e ir a tte n ­tion to th e sa tire of the stained-g lass window.

“You will have s till th e scribes and pharisees, doctor; ‘those who stand p ray ing in th e public places, so they may be seen of all m en ,' ” and Gail sm iled acro ss a t him, w ith in he r eyes th e m ischievous tw inkle which had been ab sen t for many days.

“I hope to be able to rem ove the public place,” rep lied th e recto r, w ith a g rav ity which told of som eth ing vi­ta l beneath th e ap paren t repa rtee . Mrs. Boyd, stro lling past w ith Aunt G race Sargent, paused to look a t him fondly. “I shall s e t myself, w ith such s tren g th as I may have, ag a in s t th e

Duiming of th e proposeu m w w iw . IH e had said i t so quietly th a t it took

th e little group a full m inute to com­prehend. Jim S argen t looked w ith acu te in te re s t a t th e end of his cigar, and th rew it overboard. Arly leaned slowly forward, and, re s ting h e r ; p iquant chin on h e r closed hand, studied th e rec to r earnestly . Gerald stroked his m ustache contem pla­tively, and looked a t th e rec to r w ith grow ing adm iration . By George, th a t was a sportsm an like a ttitu d e ! H e ’d have to tak e Rev. Sm ith Boyd down to th e Papyrus club one day. All th e troub le flew back in to Gail’s eyes. I t was a stupendous th ing Rev. Sm ith Boyd was proposing to re linqu ish ! The rec to rsh ip of th e m ost wonderful ca thed ra l in th e world! Mrs. Boyd looked s ta r tled fo r a moment. She j had known of Tod’s b righ t dream s about the new ca th ed ra l and th e new rectory , f ie had planned his m other's ap a rtm en ts him self, and th e la s t th ing his eyes looked upon a t n igh t w ere the beautifu lly colored sketches on his walls.

“Don 't be foolish, Boyd," p ro tes ted Sargen t, who had alw ays fe lt a fa th e r­ly responsib ility fo r th e young recto r. “I t’s a big am bition and a worthy am ­bition, to build th a t ca thedral, and be­cause you’re offended w ith ce rta in th ings th e papers have said, about C lark and Chisholm in connection w ith the church, is no reason you should cu t off your nose to sp ite your face.”

" It is n o t th e publication o t these th ings which has determ ined me," re ­tu rned th e reco r thoughtfully . “I t has m erely hastened my decision. To be­gin w ith, I acknow ledge now th a t it was only a vague, a rtis tic dream of m ine th a t such a ca thedral, by its very magnificence, would promote wor­ship. T h a t m ight have been th e case when ca thed ra ls w ere the only mag­nificent build ings erected , and when ; every rich and g litte r in g th ing was de-

| voted to religion. A golden candle­s tick th en pecame connected en tire ly w ith th e serv ice cf th e Almighty. Now, however, magnificence has no such signification. The splendor of a ca thed ra l m ust en te r m to competition w ith th e sp lendor of a st.atehouse, a I m useum or a ho te l.”

“You shouldn’t sw itch th a t way, Boyd,” rem onstra ted Sargent, show ­ing h is keen d isappoin tm en t “W hen you began to ag ita te fo r th e ca thed ra l ycu brought a lot of our m em bers in who hadn ’t a ttended serv ices in years. You s tirred them up You got them in te re sted T hey’ll drop righ t off.”

*1 hope not,” re tu rned the recto r, ea rnestly . “I hope to reach them w ith a h igher ambition, a h igher pride, a h igher vanity , if you like to pu t it th a t way. I w ish them to tak e joy in es­tab lish ing th e m ost magnificent condi­tions for th e poor which have ever been built! We have no rig h t to th e money which is to be paid us for th e Vedder cou rt property . We have no rig h t to spend i t in pomp. It belongs to th e poor from whom we have taken it, and to th e city which has made us rich by enhancing th e value of our

i ground, t propose to build perm anen t and san ita ry tenem ents , to house as many poor people as possible, and con duct them w ithout a penny of profit above th e cost of repa irs and main­tenance ”

I Gail bent upon him beam ing eyes,; and the delicate flush, which had be­gun to re tu rn to her cheeks, deepened. Was th is the so rt of tenem en ts he had proposed to re-erect in Vedder co rr t? P erhaps she had been nasty! R erSm ith Boyd In tu rn ing slowly fron* one to the o th e r of the little group, by way of es tab lish ing m ental communi­cation w ith them , res ted for a m o­m en t In th e beam ing eyes of Gail, and sm iled a t h e r in affec tionate recogni­tion, then sw ept his glance on to his m other, wbyre it lingered.

“You a re perfec tly co rrec t,” s ta ted Gerald Fosland , who, though s itting stiffly uprigh t, h ad m anaged neverth e ­less to dispose one elbow where it touched gen tly th e su rface of Arly. “M arket Square church is a much m ore dignified old place of worship th an th e o sten ta tious ca thed ra l would ev er he, and your p ro jec t fo r spending th e money has such s tr ic t ju s tice a t th e Bottom of it th a t i t m ust prevail. But, I say, Doctor Boyd,” and he gave his m ustache a con tem pla tive tug ; “don’t you th ink you should include a sm all m arg in of profit fo r th e fu tu re ex tension o f your idea?”

“T h a t’s glorious, G era ld !” approved Gail; and Arly, laughing, p a tte d h is hand.

“You’re probably rig h t,” considered th e rec to r, s tudy ing Fosland w ith a new in te re s t. “I th ink w e’ll have to p u t you on th e vestry .”

“I ’d he delighted , I ’m su re ,” respond­ed Gerald, in th e courteous tone of one accepting an inv ita tio n to dinner.

“Do you h e a r w hat you r son’s p lan ­n ing to do?” called J im S argen t to M rs. Boyd. H e was no t qu ite recon­ciled. “He proposes to ta k e th a t won­derfu l new rec to ry aw ay from you.”

The beau tifu l Mrs. Boyd m erely dim ­pled.

“I am a trifle aston ished ,” she con­fessed. “My son has been so ex trem e­ly eager about i t; bu t if he Is re lin ­qu ish ing th e dream , it is because he w an ts som eth ing else very much more

w orth while. I en tire ly approve of his p lan for th e new tenem en ts ,” and she did no t understand why they all laughed a t her. She did feel, however, th a t th e re was affection in th e laugh­te r ; and she was quite content. L augh ing w ith them , she walked on w ith G race Sargent.

Gerald Fosland drew forw ard his chair.

“Do you know ,” he observed, “I should like very much to become a m em ber of you r v estry .”

“I ’m glad you a re in te re s ted ,” re ­tu rned th e recto r, and producing a pencil he drew a w hite advertising space tow ards him . “This is th e plan of ten em en t I have in m ind,” and for th e n ex t ha lf hou r th e five of them discussed tenem en t p lans w ith g rea t en thusiasm .

A t th e exp ira tion of th a t tim e, Ted and Lucile and Dick and Marion came romping up, w ith th e de lib era te in­ten tio n of c rea ting a d is tu rbance ; and Gail and Rev. Sm ith Boyd, being th row n acciden tally to th e edge of th a t whirlpool, w alked away fo r a rest.

"They te ll me you’re going ab road ,” observed th e recto r, looking down a t h e r sadly, as they paused a t h e r fa­vo rite ra il space.

“Yes,” she answ ered, quietly. “F a th ­e r and m o the r a re com ing up next w eek,” and she glanced up a t th e rec­to r from under h e r cu rv ing lashes.

T here was a sho rt space cf silence. I t w as a lm ost as if the^o two were w eary .

“W e shall m iss you very much,” he to ld her, in all s incerity . They were bo th looking out over th e blue waves; he. ta ll, broad-shouldered, agile cf

‘I'm sorry to leave,” Gail replied. "I shall be very anxious to know how you a re coming on with your new plan. I ’m proud of you fo r It.”

“Thank you,” he re turned .They w ere ta lk ing mechanically. In

them was an Inexpressib le sadness. They had come so near, and yet they were so fa r ap a rt Moreover, they knew th a t th e re was no chance of change. It was a m a tte r of conscience which came betw een them , and it was a d ivergence which would widen w ith the years And ye t they loved They m utually knew it, and i t was because of th a t love th a t they m ust stay ap a r t

C H A PT E R XXIX.

A V es t ry Meeting .There was a s tra ined atm osphere in

th e vestry m eeting from the first. Every m em ber p resen t fe lt the tension from the moment, old Joseph G. C lark walked In w ith Chisholm. They did no t even nod to Rev.

speak to you as th e trea su ry comm it­tee, ra th e r th an as vestrym en, fo r it is in th e form er capacity which you alw ays attend . I am advised th a t we have been paid fo r Vedder court.”

Chisholm , to whom he d irec ted a gaze of inquiry , nodded his head.

“I t ’s In th e M ajestic,” he s ta ted . “I have plans for its investm ent, which I w ish to lay before th e com m ittee.”

“I shall lay my own before them a t th e sam e tim e,” w en t on th e recto r. "I w ish, however, to preface these plans by th e s ta tem en t th a t I have, so fa r as I am concerned, relinqu ished all though t of build ing th e new ca thed ra l.”

N icholas Van Ploon. who had been much troub led of la te , b righ tened and nodded h is round head emphatically .

“T h a t’s w hat I say,” he declared. “The decision does no t lay in your

hands, Doctor Boyd,” draw led a nasa l voice w ith an unconcealed sn ee r in it. I t was clean-shaven old Joseph G. C lark, who was no t d istu rbed , in so much as th e pa rting of one ha ir, by all th e adverse critic ism of him which had filled column upon column of th e daily p ress fo r the p a s t few days. “The re c to r h a s never, in th e h is to ry of M arket Square church, been given th e contro l of i t s finances. He has in ­variab ly been h ired to preach th e gos­pe l.”

Sargen t, Cunningham , Manning, and I even Van Ploon looked a t C lark in surp rise . He was no t given to open reproof. Chisholm m anifested no as­ton ishm ent. He s a t quietly in his

! chair, his fingers idly drumm ing on th e edge of th e table , bu t h is mutton-

; chop beard was pink from th e red ­dening of th e sk in beneath .

“The p resen t rec to r of M arket Square church m eans to have a voice In i t s deliberations so long as he is

i the re c to r!” announced th a t young man emphatically , and J im Sargent looked up a t h im w ith a je rk of his head. Rev. Sm ith Boyd was pale th is afternoon, bu t th e re w as a something sh in ing through his pa llo r which m ade the face alive ; and th e som e­th ing was no t tem per. R ufus Man­ning, clasping h is silvery beard w ith a firm grip, sm iled encourag ingly a t the ta ll young orator. “I have said th a t I have, so fa r as I am concerned, re ­linquished the build ing of th e ca the­d ra l,” th e rec to r w en t on. “F o r th is th e re are two reasons. The firs t is

I th a t its build ing will bring us fa r th e r aw ay from the very purpose for which

! the church was founded; the worship I of God w ith an humble and a con trite 1 h eart! I am ready to confess th a t I

found, on rig id self-analysis, my lead­ing motive in urging the building of th e new ca thed ra l to have been van­ity . I am also ready to confess, on behalf of my congregation and vestry , th a t th e ir leading motive w as v an ity !”

“You have no au tho rity to speak for m e,” in te rrup ted Chisholm, his m u t­ton-chops now red.

“Splendor is no longer th e exclusive p roperty of relig ion ,” resum ed th e rec ­to r, paying no a tten tio n to th e in te r ­rup tion . “If I thought, however, th a t the building of th a t ca thed ra l would promote th e sp read of th e gospel in a degree com m ensurate w ith th e out­lay, I would still be opposed to the erec tion of th e build ing; fo r the money does no t belong to u s !”

“Go righ t on and develop ou r con­science,” approved Manning, sm iling up a t th e old walnut-beamed ceiling w ith its carved cherub brackets.

"The money belongs to Vedder cou rt,” declared th e rec to r; “to the d is to rted moral cripples which Mar­k e t Square church, th rough th e acci­den t of commerce, has taken under h e r wing. G en tlem en , in th e recent reve la tions concerning th e v a s t indus­tr ia l in te re s ts of th e world, I have seen th e whole b lackness of modern co rporate m ethods; and M arket Square church is a co rporation! I w ish to ask you, in how fa r th e Mar­ke t Square church has been swayed, in its commercial dealings, by moral considerations?"

He paused, and glanced from m an to m an of his vestry . S argen t and Man­ning, the fo rm er of whom knew his p lans and the la t te r of whom had been

1 w aiting for them to m atu re , sm iled a t him in pe rfec t accord. N icholas Van Ploon sa t qu ite placidly, w ith his hands folded over his c rea se less vest. W illis Cunningham , s tro k ing his sparse brown Vandyke, looked un ­com fortable, as if he had suddenly been introduced into a rude braw l; but h is eye roved occasionally to

I N icholas Van Ploon, who was two generations ahead of him in th e acqui­sition of w ealth , by th e p rillian t proc­ess of allow ing p roperty to increase in valuation. Chisholm glared.

“You’ll no t find any money which is no t ta in ted ,” snapped Joseph G. C laris who regarded money in a s tric tly im ­personal light. “TJje very dolla r you have in your pocket m ay have come d irec t from a bro thel.”

“Or from Vedder court,” re to rted th e recto r. “We have b ro thels there , though we do not ‘officially’ know it. W e have saloons th e re ; we have gam ­bling rooms th e re ; and from all these in iqu ities M arket Sauare church reaps a profit! For th e glory of God? I da re you, Joseph G. C lark, o r W. T. Chisholm, to answ er me th a t ques­tion In th e affirmative! No de­cen t m an would conduct th e business we do, for the reason th a t it would soil h is soul as a gen tlem an ; and i t is. a. sham efu l th ing th a t a gen tlem ar should have finer eth ics th an a Chris­tian church! In th e beginning, I was

i a coward about th is m atte r! I t was because I w ished to be rid of our re-

| sponsib ility in Vedder court th a t I ’ first urged th e conversion of th a t

property in to a ca thedral. We can­no t rid ourselves of the responsib ility of Vedder court! If i t were possible for a church to be sen t to hell, Mar­ke t Square church would be eternally damned if i t took th is added gu ilt upon I t !”

“This ta lk is ab su rd ,” declared Chisholm. “The city has tak en Ved­de r cou rt away from us.”

“Only th e property ,” quickly cor­rec ted Rufus Manning, tu rn ing to Chisholm w ith sharpness in his deep blue eyes. “If you will rem em ber, I told you th is sam e th ing before Doc­to r Boyd came to us. I have w aited ever since his a rr iv a l fo r h im to de­velop to th is point, and I w ish to an ­nounce m yself as solidly supporting h is views.”

“Your own will no t b ea r inspec­tio n !” charged Clark, tu rn ing to Man­ning w ith a scowl.

“I ’l l range up a t th e judgm ent sea t w ith you !” flamed Manning. “W e’re

] bo th old enough to th ink about th a t !”Joseph G. C lark jumped to his fee t

and, lean ing acro ss the table, shook a th in forefinger a t Manning.

“I have been attacked enough on the po in t o f my moral s tan d in g !” he de­clared, h is high-pitched nasa l voice quavering w ith an anger he had held below the explosive poin t during the m ost of h is life. “I can stand the a t­tacks of a sensational press, bu t when spitefu l c ritic ism follows me in to my own vestry , alm ost in th e sacred shadow of th e a lta r itself, I am com­pelled to p ro tes t! I w ish to s ta te to th is vestry , once and fo r all, th a t my

moral s ta tu s is above reproach, and th a t my conduct has been such as to receive th e commendation of my Ma­ker! B ecause it has pleased Divine Providence to place in my hands the distribu tion of the grain of th e fields, I am constan tly sub jec t to th e a tta ck s of envy and m alice! I t has gone so fa r th a t I, la s t n igh t, received frpm Rev. Sm ith Boyd, a request to resign from th is v e s try !” H e paused in t r i ­umph on th a t, a s if he had made aga in st Rev. Sm ith Boyd a charge of such ghastly infamy th a t th e young rec to r m ust shrivel before h is eyes. “I have led a b lam eless life! I have never smoked no r drunk! I have paid every penny I ever owed and fulfilled every p rom ise I ever made. I h av r obeyed th e gospel and pa rtaken of th e sacram en ts , and th e Divine Being has rew arded me abundantly! He has chosen me, because of my fa ith fu l s tew ardsh ip , to g a th e r th e food of ea rth from its sources and feed i t to th e m ouths of th e hungry ; and I shall n o t d epart from my stew ardsh ip in th is church, because I am here , as I am everywhere, by th e w ill of God!”

Perhaps W. T. Chisholm was n o t shocked by th is blasphemy, b u t tho dismay of i t s a t on every o th e r face, even on th a t of N icholas Van Ploon, who was compelled to dig deep to find h is ethics.

“You in ferna l old th ie f !” wondered Manning, recovering from his am aze­m ent. “W as i t Divine Providence which direc ted you to devise the schem e whereby th e ra ilroad s paid you two dollars reba te on every car of w heat you shipped, and a dollar

I bonus on every ca r of w heat your com­pe tito rs shipped? I could give you a s trin g of sins as long as the catechism and you dare not deny one of them , because I can prove them on you! And y e t you have the effrontery to say th a t a D ivine Providence would es tab ­lish you in your monopoly, by such scoundrelly m eans as you have risen to become the g rea te s t d ispenser of self-advertising charities in th e world! You propose to rid e in to heaven on your un iversitie s and you r lib raries, and on th e fac t th a t you never smoked no r d rank nor swore n o r gambled; bu t when you come face to face w ith th is horrib le new god you have c re ­a ted , a deity who would perm it you to a tta in w ealth by th e v ile methods you have used, you w ill find him w ith a p itch fo rk in his hands! I am glad th a t Doctor Boyd, though know ing your v ind ictive record , has had b rav ­ery enough to demand your resigna­tion from th is vestry! I hope he r e ­ceives i t ! ”

Joseph G. C lark had rem ained standing, and his head shook, as w ith palsy, while he lis tened to th e charge of Manning. H e was a very old man, and i t had been quite necessary for him to re s tra in his passions th rough ­ou t h is life.

“You will go f irs t!” he shouted a t M anning. “I am im pregnable ; bu t you have no business on th is vestry! You can he removed a t any tim e an exam ination is ordered, for I have heard you, we have all heard you,

; deny the im m aculate conception, and 1 thereby th e div in ity of Christ, in

whom alone th e re is sa lv a tio n !”! A hush like death fell on th e vestry , j Rev. Sm ith Boyd w as th e firs t to b reak the ghastly silence.

"Gentlem en,” said he, “I do not th ink th a t we a re in a mood today for fu rth e r discussion. I suggest th a t we ad journ .”

H is voice seemed to d is trac t th e a t ­ten tion of C lark from Manning, a t whom he hod heen glowering. He tu rned on Rev. Sm ith Boyd th e re ­m ainder of th e w ra th which m arked his first b reak in to senility.

"As fo r you !” he snarled , “you will keep your fingers ou t of m a tte rs which do no t concern you! You w ere hired to preach th e gospel, and you will con­fine your a tten tion tn th a t occupation, p reach ing ju s t w hat you find sanc­tioned in th is book; no th ing more, no th ing le s s !” and tak ing a sm all vol­ume which lay on th e table, he tossed i t in fron t of Rev. Sm ith Boyd.

I t was the Book of Common Prayer, containing, in the la s t pages, the a r ­tic les of Faith .

C lark seized h is h a t and coat, and strode out of the door, followed by th e red-faced Chisholm, who had also been asked to resign. N icholas Van Ploon rose, and shook hands w ith Rev. Sm ith Boyd.

“Sargen t has told me abou t your plan for the new tenem ents ,” h e s ta t ­ed. “I am in favor of buying th e p roperty .”

“W e’ll sw ing i t fo r you, Boyd,” prom ised Jim Sargent. “I ’ve been ta lk ing w ith some of th e o th e r m em ­bers, and they seem to favo r th e idea th a t th e new Vedder court will be a g rea t monument. T here ’ll be no such magnificent charity in th e world, and no such im pressive sacrifice as giving up th a t ca thedral! I th ink Cunning­ham will be w ith us, when i t comes to a vote.”

“Certain ly ,” in terposed N icholas Van Ploon. “We don’t need to m ake any profit from those tenem ents. T he nor­mal increase in ground value w ill be enough.”

“Yes,” said Cunningham slowly. “1 am heartily iu favo r of the proposi­tion.”

"Coming along, doctor?” invited Manning, going for h is coat and hat.

“No, I th ink no t,” decided Rev. Sm ith Boyd quietly.

H e was sittin g a t th e edge of the tab le facing the Good Shepherd, a t th e edge of whose robe s till sparkled

I crysta lline light, and in his two hands I he thoughtfully held the Book of Com- I mon P rayer.

“Lu tsk is an an c ien t city. I t is sup­posed to have been founded about th e yea r 600. In th e eleven th cen tu ry it was th e first c ity of an independent p rincipality . I t achieved its floodtide of g rea tn ess and p ro sperity during tho fifteenth cen tury , when it sp read over a considerab le a re a w here today no ev idences of a city rem ain . In one of th e Polish wars in which it shared in th e la tte r p a r t of th e six teen th cen­tu ry . th e th riv ing city was sw ept th rough w ith fire and steel, and more th an forty thousand of its inhab itan ts were killed. L u tsk never recovered from th is blow. Its en te rp rise was crushed, its pride ob lite ra ted , its hope fo rever destroyed. Ever since th e dev­astation . Lu tsk has been m an tled in a mild decay, a decay which even an im portan t R ussian m ilita ry depot and a strong fo rtre ss could no t stay.

“Lu tsk is th e apex of a triang le of fo rtresses, whose base line, Dubno- Itovno, lies in th e southeast. I t is situated on th e R iver S ty r and has a population of 17,000, largely Jew ish, whose ch ief m eans of livelihood comes from forw ard ing goods upon th e S tyr.”

“I asked w hat ho used it for. H is rep ly w as: ‘T m ix it w ith my gravy when I have my dinner, and swallow it. Tt p reven ts the flesh from easily puffing under th e ha rd blows of an opponent. The cu ts and b ru ises are no t so hu rtfu l and heal more easily .’ ”

M oham m edan Fes t iv a l s .The celebration of Bairam by th e

d istribu tion to th e Gallipoli troops of copies of th e Korsfri presen ted by th e su ltan will be th e m ost anxious in Tu rk ish history . There are two festi­vals of B airam —Little or Sugar Bairam which m arks th e close of the fa s t of R am adan; and G reat Bairam , a little la te r, which commemorates th e sac­rifice of Ismail by Abraham . For Mo­hammedan trad ition puts Ism ail in th e place of Isaac. In ord inary years th e g rea t fea tu re of th is is th e sac ri­fice of a lamb by tb e head of every fam ily. A th ird p a rt of it is given to th e poor, a th ird to widows and o ther rela tions, a th ird th e fam ily eats. Mr. D ucke tt Ferrim an te lls liow the lamb, bought a few days earlie r, becomes a p e t of th e children, so th a t pious fic­tion is necessary to explain its disap­pearance .—London Chronicle.
