Orson Tice society leader, comes In with'Jerry Goodkind, a nian-about-town. who is interested in Clare Jewett, engaged to the Reverend Daniel Gilchrist, the assistant rector of the church, in bad favor beca’ i of his radical sermons. D.. Wadham. the rector, drops in to attend a meeting of the wardens. Jerry proposes marriage to Clare. Clare has a talk with Daniel and accuses him of being too radical. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY it: ——i want to be happy.” "That’s exactly what I I •* I want,” he agreed happily. “How can anybody be. happy without money?” she asked gravely., "How can apybodv be happy with it?” he returned. “Anyway, do you think people are? Happier than people who have just enough?” "In our day and age,” Clare defended, "there’s nothing worse than pov- ' erty. There's nothing more, degrading than having to scrimp and’ save, and j do without and keep up appearances. I’ve tried it—eyer since my father-died—and--1 know.—l can’t do it any! longer and Uwon’t.” “Clare:” It was a mood new to him. His /exclamation Startled her and she turned away.

OUR ENGAGEMENT IS OFF!” SHE DECLARED. !ove the good things of life, too. I I like to be warm and comfortable.” "You can be sure of that,” he promised. "But. that’s only the beginning," she pursued. “I wa good clothes, and furs, and my car. and mQney to spend when I like. I want my own house, and my own servants, and a husband who amounts to something. I’m no different from other women of my class.” • “I hoped you were,” he admitted, half to himself. / “A year or two ago people thought you were going to be a bishop. Today you’ve made an enemy of every influential man in the church. All that may be very noble, but I’m not noble md I don’t pretend to be. I don’t feel my call to sacrifice myself for others, and I don’t think you have any right to ask it.” “I do ask it, Clare,” he insisted. "You mean you're going on like this?” They were standing now and facing each other, she with an air of defiance, he with the calm resolution of conviction. "I mean I can’t give you expensive clothes, and servants, and a big house, while all about us people are hungry.’' “What "do you propose to give me?” the Inquired rather scornfully. “A char.ce to help,” he answered.

RUSH THE INEIS emuypmsT Xo man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasion-, ally, says a well-known authority. Elating too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They Become overworked from the “'train, get sluggish and fall to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache In tne kidneys, or your back hurts, or If the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, Irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys may act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acids in the system, so they no longer bined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize the acids in the system, so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness.

She turned on him, looking sharply at him. "I can’t believe you're serious,” she gasped. “You’ve always been a dreamer, but I can’t believe you’re going through with this fantastic nonsense!” HK was still calm. Perhaps it was this strange control of which she was not capable that added to Clare’s irritation. “I’va chosen a narrow path, dear,” he said, “but I it might be wide enough for us both.” “It isn’t,” she returned, finality in her tone. “With your means and opportunities. you’re offering me what ayy bank clerk would give hi£ wife. I thought you loved me, but you're utterly selfish, and I think, a little mad. You’ve a right to throw away your oym life, but you’ve no right to throw away mine.” He lifted a hand in protest, but it was too late. She moved toward him, fumbling with her hands. By the time she had reached his side she had taken off her ring. She handed It to him with an impatient gesture. He paused a moment, then accepted it in mute abnegation. “Our engagement is off!” she rec Jared metallically. * CHAPTER VII A Friend in Need Clare paused a moment, expectant. It seemed incredible that he would lei her go that way. Surely he would say something. Surely he would see that he was wrong. She waited for his surrender. Gilchrist was o'iftjvt. He stood staring at the ring which Thy In the palm of his hand, shorn of its symbolism. She turned, expecting that his hand wou’d reach out to halt her. He did not move. Slowly she made her way toward the door. She paused a moment with her hand on the knob, waiting for his footsteps behind her. The sombre silence of the church seemed like a deafening roar In her ears. She .could not see GJlchrist’s face. There was no answer ii his attitude. She took a step forward, but still he did not move. Then she walked slow ly to his side. “Don’t you think you’re making a terrible mistake?” she asked. He looked up from the ring. His answer was In his eyes, and she rsd It there. But he repeated it. “No,” he said simply. Clare lifted her head with a defiance that was characteristic of her other self. This time there was no hesitancy in her step. She strode to the dooy with resolution. Without looking back she opened it. Four rumbers tingled in her brain. “Poverty six nine four two.” No, that wasn’t the exchange. How j idiotic! It was “Rhinelander.” She did not stop to close the door. Gilchrist looked after her. He waited until the outdoor had echoed her departure, then walked slowly over and closed the door. Quietly he placed the ring in his pocket. An organ began to play softly in the choir room. Its tremendous notes echoed through the vast emptiness of the Church. The solitude of It all seemed to comfort him. He felt a companionship In it. There were not even shadows now. He and the darkness were alone. There was solace from the silence in the quiet music of the organ. He crossed to the altar and stood looking up at the benign forms outlined in the painted wlnodsw. How far away they seemed! And yet how real! The Shepherd In thp center— He turned suddenly at the sound of a step. The church was wrapped completely in a darkness which his eyes could not penetrate. Again came the step. “Who’s there?” Gilchrist : inquired of the obscurity. An echo repeated the question mechanically, losing the tone of solicitude tlpat was in Gilchrist’s voice. There was no answer, but Gllchrict sensed a presence. “Are you looking for someone?” he asked again. “Yes,” came a voice. Gilchrist peered into the darkness. “I’m the assistant rector, Mr. Gilchrist.” he explained without raising his vqide. "I know' you, Mr. Gilchrist,” came the voice. ; A sense of recognition came to Gilchrist. His air of Inquiry disappeared. %‘Oh, yes, I remember,” he said. “You’re the man who was cold. Can I do anything for you?” "I think you can,” said the man. Gilchrist had made out the form now, in outline near the door. “Tell me,” he asked sympathetically. "Perha.ps I can help you, too,” parried the man. Gilchrist remembered now. It was he who needed help. The irony of it all came to him. Here was he offering aid to another when he himself was needy—needy of comfort, of sympathy. "My poor man,” he said, "I wish you could.” He clasped his hands. The remembrance of his despair Impelled him to confide, even In this vague figure. “I was so sure of what I wanted to do,” he said, "and now I begin to wonder whether It can be done.” It seemed as though he were alone again—alone with the darkness and the silence. “It has been done,” the man assured him. “But in this day—in this practical world any man follow' the Master?” Daniel put the question haltingly. The answer came back positively. “Why not? Is this day different from any other? Was the world practical before? Is this the first time of conflict between flesh and spirit? Ts It could be done thon, why not now', and. If it was ever worth the doing, why not now?” “But how r ?’’ It was Daniel who had turned seeker. "We have been told before,” rerinded the man. Gilchrist thought back over “Take noi thought for the morrow—” he read there. "Sell whatsoever thou hast, a{d give to the poor—Lovo thy nelghbcfc- as thyself—Bless them that

curse you, do good to them that hate you. But if a man did those things today, people would think him mad?" “What does it matter?" asked the man, simply. "He would lose everything!” said Gilchrist anxiously. “And gain everything,” was the answer. "What good could one man' do?" "W T hy don’t you try?” challenged the voice. “The Master tried, and they crucified Him,” Gilchrist murmured. He was trembling now. "Did they?” queried the man incredulously. “And if they did. what does that matter? Is a man dead whose Ideal lives? ‘Ye crucified me, but I am with ye always, even unto the end of the world.” „ GUchrist stepped forward.
