BEGIN HERE TODAY Clare Jewett, in love with the Rev. Daniel Gilchrist, marries Jerry Goodkind for his money Daniel is dismissed from the fashionable Church of the Nativity in New York because of his radical sermons. "Overcoat Hall," a refuse for the unemployed. Is established by Gilchrist. and apartments with baths for the poor are maintained at a minimum rent. George Goodkind. Jerry’s father, calls and orders Daniel to cease seeing Clare, who frequently visits the hall to help Gilchrist. Pearl Hennig comes in and warns Daniel that her husband is out to "get” him. Mary Margaret, a little cripple girl, is Daniel's helper. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOKY i KNOW you do,” said Clare, i I I There was a certain desolaL ! tion In her tone, a certain selfpity, that told of something she knew. The two women looked at each other for a moment. Each gave something of commiseration to the other in that exchange of glances between these two who had been in §uch different ways, yet simultaneously. It was Pearl who turned away. T guess you ain’t got much use or me," she said, quailing. Clare looked at her as though sharng the pity she had for herself. “Why?” she questioned, calmly, orlomly. "'What's the difference be.veen us?” Pearl turned toward her with eyes .hat did not understand. Somehow she felt that there was no bitterness here, but she did not know why. She liad no answer to make. She backed .ervously to the door and opened it. “Well, good-night,” she said, bewil- > ered. CHAPTER XIX Temptation Cl LA RE had turned fatigued, worried, appealing eyes toward j Gilchrist. They met a gentle reproach. Clare, I asked you,” he began. “I’d nowhere else to go.” she said, : mply. “I’ve left him.” “Left Jerry?” His inquiry was indulous. "Yes,” she replied calmly. "For * -od. He struck me." “No.” Daniel protested. ’Yes.” she returned. “Here —in the i reast. And he’s lying now—brandy- : oaked and half-conscious—across the

She put her hands t> her face as if to hide the sight. “I can't—believe—” Gilchrist was lien aback. “He's been drinking,” she went on a monotone Os despair, “more and .. -re. And. of course, there have been >men —from the beginning. All kinds ! women. That woman’’ —she waved •ward the door —“salesgirls, stenographers, women of our own class. Do on remember —in your church —a Irs. Thornbury? He'S l>een quite •pen about her. Tonight we were roing out to dinner. He came to my .oom—drunk —and babbled that he’d •efuse to go until she was invited, "hen I refused to go, and he accused of—of you—and struck me with fist. He accused—you?” Daniel straight- • ed. “Yes. And then he tried to take ne in his arms. Night after night he’d come to me, drunk, and hold me in his arms.” She paused in reflection. “And I said once there was -.othing more degrading than poverty.” -She looked at him. “I’ve come to see vour way at last,” she said, in sur•ender.

learned what degradation means. I’vo come to realize that the material things are nothing—-and that love Is all. It isn’t too late?” “It’s never too late,” said Daniel earnestly. “I knew you’d say that,” she said, with relief in her tone. “I’ll share your work —your want—if need he -- gladly. Only take me away.” "But my work is here,” he replied, not quite comprehending.. “We can’t stay here,” she protested. "Jerry suspects us. He’s made his father suspect us. Do you know what they’re planning to do now?” Daniel nodded. “Jerry wants to send you to an asylum. He said so tonight. And he’ll do it, too. The strange thing about Jerry is that, with his mind going, and his health gone, he still gets what he wants.” She appealed to him again: “Take me away, and w e’ll have five or six rooms and each other.” “Clare!” Daniel was a man torn asunder. “Don’t you understand that I’m offering myself to you?” she asked, bewildered herself now. “Yes, I understand,” he said, simply. “I love you.” she breathed. “I need you. I’ve always loved you. and needed you, even when I lied to you —and myself. This is our last chance for happiness. I’ve been blind and stupid and cruel, but it isn’t too late.” She lifted tired arms toward him. “Take me and hold me, and we’ll both forget.” "Forget?” He looked at her wonderingly. “Forget everything,” she said. “Won’t you take me, dear?" Daniel looked at her tenderly, Intently. “No,” he answered, without a sign ct emotion. “Don’t you want me?” she faltered. “No.” He did not take his deliberate eyes from her. "That’s not true,” she protested. "You love me. You’ve always loved me. Look at me and deny It If you can.” “I don’t deny it,” he said simply. “I love you.” “Then take me,” she urged. "I love the good In you—the good you’re trying hard to kill,*' he said with earnes'ness. “I love you because you’re big enough to do what's right.” “What is right?” she'asked bewilderedly. “Go back to your husband.” Daniel spoke with cold deliberation. She flushed and straightened. “I’d rather die,” she flared. “I'd rather you died—than this,” he said cheerlessly. Anger stormed and swept her. “You fanatic,” she sneered. “You blind fanatic.” "I love you.” the said simply. “Love,” she cried contemptuously. ‘You don't know what love means. You’re only half a man.” “And I’m praying to God with all my strength,” he returned, “to save us from the other half.” “For what?” she demanded resentfully. "For you—and him — and for my people.” Faintly there came the voice of Mary Margaret singing to the cadence of her crutch-steps. "For the little girl out there.” “And for them you’d send me back to degradation?" she mocked. “That little girl's known degradation that you and I will never know,” he said. “And she’s singing. Her constant companions are poverty and pain—and she’s singing. She's crippled. She may never walk again. And she can say ‘God's will be done.’ She believes in me. I can't disappoint her and the rest. I'm going on with my job—and you’re going back to yours.”

“You mean Jerry?” she asked. "Yes,” was the answer. “You think that’s God’s will?” She was helpless and hopeless now. “I know it’s your job,” he said firmly. "You took it with your eyes open. It’s up to you to see it through.” "Must I go on forever paying for one mistake?” “Somebody must pay for our mistakes. That it was wrong to make a bargain doesn't make it right to break the bargain when we get tired of it.” “I don’t know what to do,” she mcalted. "Play the game,” Gilchrist said convincingly. “Go back to that poor, mistaken man. lying across the foot of your bed —his mind going and his health gone. Bear your punishment and help him to bear his. That’s your duty.” “Duty, duty, duty,” she echoed mechanically. "What about happiness?” “There is no other happiness,” he returned. “Oh, don’t you see, my dear, that’s bden your greatest mistake! You’re always crying—you and the world —‘I want to be happy.’ Happiness is service. Happiness is clean living and clean thinking and self-for-getfujness and self-respect.” Beware of Imitations!

“And love?” She asked like a child. “Love isrt't all,” he said. "Not the love you mean. You said ‘Take me, and we’ll both forget.’ Could we have forgotten promises unkept, faith disappointed, aspirations unrealized?” He smiled tenderly. “No, my dear, love isn’t all, nor even happiness. There’s something bigger, and better, and more important, and that something is—duty.” “The world doesn't think that,” she said doubtingly. “That’s what’s wrong with the world.” “You want me to go back?” She was calm now—very calm. “I want you to be right,” he said. She paused undecisively. Then she flung her head back and looked at him. "Well, then—” she said. “ —l’m going through. I’m going back and play the game—with you in my heart al ways. You don’t forbid that, do you?” “You are in mine always,” he told her. “And this isn’t good-by.” 1 She looked at him wistfully. “Some time —somewhere —in this world or out of it —there must be a moment—and a place—to retrieve mistakes. Goodnight." He opened the door for her and held out his hand. “Clare —” he said. She knew what it meant. “Good-night,” he added. “And —” she looked back at him thank you.” CHAPTER XX A Pitiful Confession Wearied by the sheer effort of renunelation. Gilchrist sank into a

chair. There was no smile on his wan face now. There was agony written in its fine lines. Save for his eyes, there was something of desolation there. The eyes, though, still held the spark of a fii'e that seemed to have burned itself out in the rest of him. Mary Margaret found him huddled there, his face in his hands, motionless.
