with a letter trom Am).

Without a word William West took
the letter and re-ad It. standing facing
All Paul- (It looked," John Paul told
Ills wile nfteruurds, "as though he
died, theie and then")
You were- lltiht to tell me only
please ple-abe- dun't make me- many
you. 1 curniot. 1 could never foiget.
If It wore- mi) thing else an) thing else
It would be- dllfcient, but theft oh,

about foigive-ness. I don't want you

am 111, and the- wedding Is put otf I
nm 111; It won't be n lie Please don't
ask to see me. 1 cannot bee- you. Foi-glve-
me A."
William West sat down, folding the
letter between his llngeis
"Theie's nothing to bo said" Up
Slfoko wi-iy quietly. Then he opened
the letter again, and looked down nt It
"West, for God's sake," John Paul
entie-ated him; "listen, man! don't take
Jt like that. The girl is out of hei head
Heie, pull youifeolf together ! It's a
passing whim, you will bilng her to her
senses as boon as you see her."
"She w 111 not see me," he said. As
lie spoke his eye caught the head lines
of the deed of gift, and he- lead them
absently:
"This Indentuie made this day of
Anno Domini IS Wltnesbe-th: that
AVIlllam West, the grantor, for dlvois
good mid valuable consldeiatlons to
him moving, has, and by these presents
does ghe, grant, and convey" the fold
In the deed hid the rest.
"She's got to see you'" John Paul
paid, angiily. "What's the matte; with
hei .' Is she- out of her senses'." All I
know is what Katie told me. She asked
ine to bring ou the letter. She said
Amy had broken her engagement. You
could have knocked me ovei with a
stinw. She wouldn't give any leasons
Uut I'm touched by this business. If a
IT'S A GIRL
Ionian In my household suddenly for
gets honor and common decency, I'm
touched by It! Unless you've given her
cause?"
Ho walked up and down, breathing
haid, his hands tin list into his pockets,
Jingling his latchkeys for the meie te
llef of doing something. William West
put the little note into his pocket.
"I've given her cause," he said.
His senior warden stopped In finnt
of him, and looked ut him critically.
"You're lying to me I know you! It's
n girl's whim, und I'iii touched by it,
I tell you. She's a member of my fam
ily, West! I shall see her (she wouldn't
bee me befoie I started heie), and
straighten this business out. Kate Is
neai ly dead with It. My wile looked
like a ghost when she came and told
me and the wedding day after to
mouovv! No, I'm going to stialghten
this thing out. What I want you to
do Is to tell me, man to man, what
stinted If"
'Amy Is peifectly Justified," William
AVest said, dully. "I told her this morn
ing that I had committed u foigeiy."
"A ?" John Paul sat down, ills
mouth open, his plump hands on his
Knees, Ills eyes starting fiom his head.
"You aie out of yout mind!"
AYllliam AVest laughed shortly.
"I think, pei haps, I was when I told
her. Yes; I was u fool. It was tvventy
tlnee years ago; I had just about for
gotten It, When I lemembeied, I told
her. It was too much foi her. She Is
light to stop now. If she can thiow
me over, thank heaven she has done
so!"
The misery of it hurst out In that last
sentence. Then, quietly, he told Amy's
cousin the stoiy of that long-builed
youth, AVlien it was done, John Paul
said, huskily;
"West, I don't know what to think
of your telling her; but I know what
to think of you, And I know what to
thlpk of Amy."
William AVest said nothing; he took

tlio little note out of his pocket and
turned it over and over.
("He seemed to go to pieces there,
before my c)es," John Paul told his
wife. "I tell you, Kate, I saw him lose
Ills moral grip! Poor West poor fel
low!") Air, Paul t,at helplessly looking nt his
cleigyman, until he had a sense of In
decency In wntohlng the suffeilng of
this silent human c-ieature. Then he
said, vaguely;
"I suppose you want me to clear out?
Hut Just tell me; what do you want me
to do?"
"Nothing."
"Hut don't you mean to make any ef
fott to bring her to her senses!" buist
out the other.
"Theie's nothing to be done," the
lover said. "It's ovei don't )ou see?"
"It's not over," Insisted Amy's cou
sin; "I shall see her; this thing can't
go on. I'll send for you, you aie- w ell rid
of her; It will bo all light, I" stotm
lng, and piotestlng, and contiadlctlng
himself, he went out of the rectoty,
scateely noticing thut his host saw him
to the door, and let him out, in abso
lute silence.
Then William AYest went back and
locked himself Into his llbiaiy.
The se-nloi warden of St. James was
wiong when he said that his minister
lost his moral gilp. Theie was, no
doubt, a time of upheavel and shock, a
staggeilng under a calamity which
seemed to have no moial excuse, to be
only senseless shuttering of a human
life.
Hut he got his balance again He
made no effoit to see Amy This was
pattly to spare her, und paitly fiom a
sense of the futility of uigument, the
thing was done; If she nanled him ten
times over, it would nov be the same.
As she said, she had never known him,
and peihnps he had never known hei.
Hut, for that matter, who of us knows
tlie- other"' The question Is, Is It woith
w hlle to try to attain, or to bestow.such
knowledge? Gossip, of course, had tun
i lot, when it was known that he had
been Jilted; but gossip, after It leaches
a ceitnln point of Insult and falsehood,
becomes a source of amusement to Its
victims. West, with his delicate sense of
humor, found other people's opinions
of his sufferings not without Intel est.
It being nobody's business but his own,
only thiee people besides Miss Town
send and himsell knew the facts, the
Pauls and his own lawyer; so no light
was thrown upon the subject to Mercer,
which seethed and bubbled, and made
Itsolt wildly ludicrous. The minister
went awa) aftei that first fuiy of par
ish excitement was over, and came
back In four months, quite brown, with
a good appetite, and several veiy in
teresting pieces of tapestiy which he
had picked up on the other side. He
dined a little lets fiequently at the
Paul's, and was never once leminded
that Mrs. Paul had been Instiumental
In lulnglng him to Mercer.
He became, pet linn.?, a little mote of
, a man's man; a little more Impatient
with ills feminine correspondents; a
little less polite to the old ladles who
thought him less good-looking, "since
his disappointment." But he took a
deep and passionate hold upon affairs;
the conditions of labor, the hideous
problems of vice; the leformatlon of
S WHIM."
the soidld politics of the small city In
vv hleh he lived these things tilled his
life. AVeie they enough? Who knows'
AVe mnke husks Into btead when the
soul staives.
As for Amy, that Is another story.
It was neaily two yeats after this,
that John Paul wulked home one night
with Mr. AVoodhouse, who was a fellow
vestiyman of St. James. They had
been sitting smoking by William
West's lire-side, talking over a Mi ike
which was on in one of the mills, vvheie
it seemed as though the lights lay with
the strlkeis, a fact which these gen
tlemen believed to lie unusual. It was
nearly midnight when they left the IJec
tory und went along the echoing stieet
together.
"It stilkes me," said Mr. Paul, "that
you hadn't much to say tor youiself
tonight, AA'oodhouse, You'ie the can
niest fellow about giving an opinion1
Didn't you wunt to commlte )oui.self?"
"I haven't any opinion yet," said the
other man, slovvl); "and, somehow, I
got to thinking I say, John, after nil,
what do you make of West's telling
Miss Tow nsepd that mattei V"
"I think she didn't know which side
her bread was buttered," John Paul
said, guidly.
"Oh, that's another question," the
law) ei said "I think almost any wom
an Is too good for ulinost any man. I
wonder they dop't all think better of
it at the last moment, and tluovv us
over!"
"How long have you been man led,
Glfford?" the older man Inquired,
cynically. "I'll tell you what Kate
su)s; Kate su)s if Amy could thiow
him ovei, she ought to havo had the
chance to. So she thinks AVest ought
to have told her."
'That's like saying, if there Is a
chance of breaking your neck by taking
some 'piepostelous leap, take it," the
lawyer commented, "But as I look back
at It now, and see how It has aged
Hilly, and, well, hardened him a little,
I think; it seems such an unnccessaiy
cnlamlty; such a blunder! And yet"
"Kate lmi views about heiedlly, and
nil that soit of thing," Mi'. Paul ex
plained, "I suppose that has some
thing to do with her opinion, She Bays
a woman has- a right to say her ehll
tlien shan't have n a shady ehaiacter
for a father. That was too ;nueh for
me; I don't geneinlly eolitiadlct my
Hoss; it Isn't peaceful.-Hut that was
too much for me! Hilly West shady!
I gave my wife n. piece of my mind. I
tell )ou, Woodhouse, women uie haul."
"Well, but theie's something In that,"
tiro lawyer piotested. "A woman has
not only a tight, but a duty, td think
of het chlldiun, and a possible moial
taint"
"Moral grandmother"' John Paul
bioke In; "West Is one man in n bun
died. I think he's well rid of Am),
I told him so at the time! Why, look
heie, a man who has not repented of
his sin, has no Inclination to confess
It. And, having lepented, and made
lepnratlon, confession becorrres n mete
matter of expediency. Why, good
"Wi:ll, hut THnmrs something
IN THAT," T1IU LAAVYUH PP.O
THSTHD. heavens, Glfford! Is there to be no es
cape fiom sin'. Whut'.s all this talk
about foiglveness mean, II we've got to
lake up the past and ngonUe over it
as long ns we live Isn't theie nny
statute of limitation in things spliii
ual? I don't believe any laige- mind
dwells on Its Ins, any more than on its
v It tiles' And vt," he ended, suddenl)
cooling, "I sweat It Is a dllllcult ques
tion, the telling or not telling the girl
you are going to mairy."
"It )ou bilng It down to expediency,
it's simple enough," Glftoid Woodhouse
said, "It was obvlousl) Inexpedient.
Even If she had man led him, and slrn
pl) renrembeied, would either of them
be any better off? AVould any end be
subseived by putting such painful
knowledge on her conscience as well
as his own? It was not as though he
had "a wife with nine small chlldien
and one at the bieast," somewheie
lound the coiner, who might turn up
sorrre day. That soi t of sin nflects the
l elation of the man nnd woman, and

dence to confess, though I think theie
Is a question, even theie. Hut In this
case expedient-), you might even call it
unselllshncss, would make him hold his
tongue. The only thing is, perhaps
theie is something highei than ex
pediency?" They had reached Mr. Paul's dooi ,
he pitched his cigar into the street
and pulled out his kc-)S, shaking them
on the end of their chain.
"You mean, nbstiactedly. Is It light
oi wiong, under clicuinstniices, like
these, where no thlid poison Is to be
denied oi benefited, to tell? Does honor
demand confession?"
"Yes," said the vestryman; "was It
a duty to speak, or a duty to be silent?"
There was a moment's silence,
"Was AVest a fool or a saint?" Insist
ed the younser man.
"I'll be hanged If I know," said the
senior waiden.
