Tho controversy In St. Paul Church
came Into public view In January, when
the Rev. Doctor Lee charged Charles M.
Wllklns, former church treasurer, with
being an embezzler and said that tho
ciders of the church were shielding; him.
Ocorgo Wcntworth Carr, as attorney for
the ex-treasurer, filed a suit against Doc
tor Leo when he failed to make the de
manded retraction. The suit was later
withdrawn and then the Board of Ciders
demanded the resignation of the minister.
The Presbytery finally appointed a com
mlttco to Investigate.
The report of the committee was read
to the congregation by It, II Wallace,
secretary, It wns signed by the Ilnv.
John It. Davles, the Rev. Alcxandor Mac-
Colt, tho Rev. Ouldo Dossard, the Rev.
Edward Yntes Hill, Richard H. Wallace,
George B. Masscy and C. Addison Har
ris. The report sets forth that despite tho
criticism manifested In the ohurch dim
cuttles there la no baBls for any char-go
against the Christian character or against
tho ministerial ability of tho Rev. Dr.
Lee, nor against the members of the
board of oldora. In tho Interests of
peace, hownver. It Is urged that tho min
ister and the board resign.

The Dally Story
COUNCILS NOW RESPONSIBLE
FOR QUICK TRANSIT WORK
Judges Certify Count of Vote Favor
ing $6,000,000 Loan.
The final technical obstacle in tho way
of real rapid transit was cleared away
today when Judgea Audenrled and Davis
certified tho official count of the vote In
Thursday's special transit election. It
Is now squarely In the hands of Councils
to put In motion the actual construction
work on tho high-speed lines voted for
In the $6,000,000 loan election.
FlgurcB for the olllclal count were is
sued late Saturday night h Solomon
Bains, superintendent of the election
count, but tho mechanical process was
not finished until certification was made
In court. The official count differs slightly
from tho figures compiled Thursday night.
It shows 61,615 voted for the loan and
9110 opopsed to It. Tho unofficial returns
showed 6,032 voting "yes" and 8772 "no."
The official count did not differ from
the unofficial figures on tho vote on the
three Councllmanlc vacancies.
An Alien Heir
Throwing- a fresh slick on the fire, Dick
Vance gazed approvingly about him. The
room which the dancing flames lighted tip
had a coiy. homelike air delightfully In
contrast with his cheerless lodgings In
Paris. At last he had onn little spot
ulthln four walls that he could call his
own.
As he stretched his lens comfortably to
the blaze, he wan still tingling with the
thrill of amazement he had felt when
Informed by the village lawyer, during
their brief Interview Hint afternoon, that
lit was Robert Chilton's heir
"The estate consists of this old house,
which has been In the Chilton family for
a hundred years, and loO,0X) In stocks and
bonds," Mr. Ulackstone had said.
Although three hours Viad gone by
since then, Dick still almost doubted Ida
great fortune. How often he had trone
with empty pockets and nothing to cat!
One blissful thought made his heart
leap. He could many Alice Dale! They
had waited two years because of their
poverty: there was now no occasion for
delay.
Tho door hell rang. Mr. Robbing, the
gray-liulrcd minister, who "had officiated
at Robert Chilton's funeral that day.
was ushered In. Shaking tho snow from
his great coat, he sat down henviiy be
fore the fire, his face wenrlng a stern
expression.
"Mr. Vance, how long had you known
the deceased?" he abruptly Inquired.
"About six mont'ns, sir."
"You met abroad?"
"Vps. sir -In Paris. Mr. Chllion fell
seriously III at ono of the hotels. I wan
alone nnd I took care of him. He wns
pleased lo think that my nursing saved
his life"
"You traveled with him afterward?
"I did. I una n poor medical student.
I had Jusl taken mv degree 1 could n-t
as courier and also keep careful watch
over his bndllv health."
niek umlleil uleasantlv. but the clergy
man's face Brew hnrder than before.
"Did ho ver speak to you of his fam
ily?"
"Only once Just before he died. He said
they hnd betrayed, forsaken hlm-thnt he
was worso than nlone In tho world. Hn
mude mo promlso to bury him from bin
old homo, never Intimating that I wns to
bo his heir. That clinic as n complete
surprise. Oh, sir," Dick added, with
kindling eyes, "this legacy means every
thing U, me success, happiness, a pros
perous cnieer."
Looking nt the young man over his
spectacles, Mr. HobhliiH Mild gravely.
"Then you aro not nware that Mr.
Clifton left a daughter and a grand
child?" Dick turned palo nnd all nt once there
was a curious pounding irv his cars.
'No! It simply can't he! Ho would havo
told me "
"It seems that he did not. His daugh
ter married against his wishes, nnd he
never forgave her. She Is now a widow,
a confirmed Invalid, and vory poor. Her
child, n girl of 20, Is working beyond her
strength for the baro necessities of life.
I sent word to them, but it nppcars they
did not recclvo It In time to come."
There was a silence which neither of
tho two reemed disposed to break. Dick's
forehead glistened with perspiration He
swept a shaking hand across It.
"Of course I understand why you tell
me this," he cried huskily. "You think
I havo no right to tho property and
should give It up!"
The old minister frowned nnd was
silent Dick glanced llngerlngly around
the room.
"I won't do It!" he cried with half angry
vehemence. "If Mr. Chilton had wanted
his daughter to have It ho would have left
It to her. It's mine mine! I Intend to
keep lt"
Mr. Robblns rose nnd picked up his hat
from the table.
"I regret exceedingly your decision," he
said coldly. "Frankly, I'm disappointed
In you. Clood-nlght, sir." And he walked
out of the room.
Dick sat for a long time gazing Into
the fire. His cheeks were flushed. The
discarded daughter wa nothing to him.
He would be a fool to abdicate In her
favor. Nd doubt Vie deserved all that
had befallen her, and even worse.
Presently his thoughts turned to Alice.
"How I wish It were morning that I
might go to her," ho said aloud.
He smiled and jet n heaviness lay on
his heart. The sd face of tho woman
whose birthright he had stolen seemed
to stare at him reproachfully from the
corners of tho room. It even framed
Itself In the smouldering logs ns they
bla7cd up fitfully and fell npart.
The doorbell rang again. After a long
delay the door opened to admit Mrs.
Burke, the old housekeeper. Hhe was
pale with suppressed emotion.
"Another visitor'" he exclaimed with
annoyance. "Who Is It?"
"Mr. Chilton's granddaughter, sir,"
was the startling response.
Dick sprang to hlj feet.
"The poor child did not learn of her
grandfather's dea'h until today, sir. Tho
storm delayed the mulls. She camo at
onceand alone, because her mother Is
III."
"What does she want?" His voice had
a strangely harsh, unnatural sound.
"She hoped to he In lime for the fu
neral, but her train was stalled. She Is
going right away again. I thought, sir,
hesitatingly, "jou might like to see ner
first."
Sen her' Dick felt a sick shrinking
through nil his being. Of course. It wob
a game to wheedle some concessions from
him. Hut It would be churlish to refuse.
"Whero Is sho?" "
"in the kitchen. Sho Mould romn no
furthor "
As Dick started In that direction Mrs
Burke laid her hand upon his arm.
"One moment, sir; I'd like to tell vou
something. The girl loves a worthy man
n.i poor as herself. Thoy can never marry
now. I'm sorry for thorn both."
Sho turned half fiercely; but beforo he
could speak his anger was swallowed up
in pity. The caso appealed to him strong'
ly. Wat the structure of his happiness
to he built upon tho ruin of two lives? tf
ho robbed this girl of her Inheritance
what was left to her?
With these thoughts whirling In his
brain he started on again with heavy,
shuffling steps. The girl sat beforo the
kitchen fire, her faca in her hands. Dick
saw the drooping figure as through a
red mist Ho began speaking rapidly. In
a tenso voice, as If hnlf afraid to trust
himself.
"I'm a selfish brute. At first I didn't
realize tho Injustlco of accepting n
legacy that means everything to you"
At his first word n tremor hnd shaken
the bowed figure. She lifted her head
suddenly with a startled exclamation.
"Dick1 Dick'"
Ho stood staring All nt once the mist
seemed shot through with a dftMllnR
light He leaned nearer, like one half
blinded, and brushed his hands across till
eyes.
"Alice! It Is Alice?" He said In
credulously, She, the quicker to grasp the situation,
looked up at him with ft happy laugh.
"Dick, Oh, Dlckl Nobody told me the
name' of the mah who had robbed me of
my birthright. I never dreamed It was
you. I thought It was some adverturer.
That Is why I meant to go away with
out seeing you "
The words died In an Inarticulate mur-
'mur Her blushing face was pressed
against his heart.
