THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS. McCONNELLSBURG, PA. THE BALL OF CHAPTER I. No Place for Sentiment. Silence pervaded the dim eld aisles of the Market Square church; the win ter sun, streaming through the clere story windows, cant, on the floor and on the vacant benches, patches of ruby and sapphire, of emerald and of topaz, these seeming only to accentu ate the dimness and the silence. In that silence the vestry door creaked, it opened wide, and It was as If a vision had suddenly been set there! Ilathcd In the golden light frcm the transept window, brown haired, brown-eyed, rosy-cheeked, Bleed a girl who might have been one of the slender stained glass virgins come to life, the golden light flaming the edses of her hair into an aureole. She stood timidly, peering iuto the dimness, and on her beautifully curved Hps was a half questioning smile. "Uncle Jim," shn called, and there was some quality In her low voice mliicb was strangely attractive, and disturbing. "Hy George, Gail, I forgot that you were to come for me!" said Jim Sar gent, rising from amid the group of men in the dim transept. "We'll be through In a few minutes. Allison, you were about to prove something to us. I think." "Prove is the right word," agreed the stockily built man who had evi dently been addressing the vestry. He was acutely conscious of the presence ct Gail, as they all were. "Your rec tor suggeets that this Is a matter of sentiment. You are anxious to have lifty million t'ollars to begin the erec tion of a cathedral; but I came here to talk business, and that only. Grant ing you the full normal appreciation of your Vedder Court property, and the normal Increase of your aggregate rentals, yon cannot have, at the end of ten yearj, a penny over forty-two millions. I tm prepared to offer you, in cash, a sura which will, at three nd a half per cent, and In ten years, froduce that exact amount. To this 1 add two million." "Flow much did you allow for In crease In the value of the property?" tsked Nicholas Van Ploon, whose only knowledge for several generations had been centered on this o.ie' question. The original Van Ploon had bought a vast tract of Manhattan for a dollar an acre, and, by that stroke of tower ing genius, had placed the family of Van Ploon, for all eternity, beyond the necessity of thought. For answer, Allison passed him the envelope upon which he had been fig uring, checking off an item as he did o. He noticed that Gall's lips twitched with suppressed mirth. She turned abruptly to look back at the triking transept window, and the three vestrymen In the rear pew Im mediately sat straighter. Willis Cun ningham, who was a bachelor, hastily smoothed his Vandyke. He was so rich, by Inheritance, that money meant nothing to him. "Not enough," grunted Van Ploon, handing back the envelope and twist ing again In the general direction of (all. "Ample," retorted Allison. "You can't count anything for the buildings. While I don't deny that they yield the richest Income of any property in the city, they are the most decrepit tenements In New York. They'll fall down in less than ten years. You have them propped up now." Jim Sargent glanced solicitously at Gall, but she did not seem to be bored; not a particle! "They are passed by the building Inspector annually," pompously stated W. T. Chisholm, his mutton chops turning pink from the reddening of the skin beneath. He had spent a lifetime in resenting Indignities be fore they reached him. "Puildir.g Inspectors change," Insln tiated Allison. "Politics is very uncer tain." Four indignant vestrymen Jerked forward to answer that Insult. "Gentlemen, this Is a vestry meet ing," sternly reproved the Rev. Smith fioyd, advancing a step, and seeming lo feel the need of a gavel. His rich, deep barytone explained why he was rertor of the richest church in the worll Gail's eyes were dancing, but other wise Rhe was demureness Itself as she studied, in turns, the members of the richest vestry in the world. She esti mated that eight of the gentlemen lien present were almost close enough HAMPERED BY PAST ERRORS Necessary Reforms Hard to Effect Be cause of the Mistakes Made by Other Generations. ' Civilization often seems like an old Irunkard who Is forever taking one nore drink to work off the effects of a previous drink, or like a chronic debtor who Is always borrowing upon Die future to refund the past.

Be cause their father fought, children are taught to hate, and when they grow op they also fight, leaving to their children a new heritage of hate Re cause tbelr fathers gave over a contl dent to aimless exploitation, the new generation finds Itself entangled In a network of law and tradition and vested rights from which It cannot free Itself except by Injuring those who have done no wrong.

"The topic of debate was money, I believe," suggested Rufug Manning, rescuing his sense of humor from somewhere in his beard. He was the Infidel member. "Suppose we return to it. Is Allison's offer worth consid ering?" "Why?" Inquired the nasal voice of rlean-hhaven old Joseph G. Cook, who was sarcastic in money matters. The Standard Cereal company had attained its colossal dimensions through re bates; and he had invented the de vice! "The only reason we'd sell to Allison would be that we could get more money than by the normal re turn from our Investment." "I've allowed two million for the profit of Market Square church In dealing with me," stated Allison, again proffering the envelope which no one made a move to take. "I will not pay a dollar more." V. T. Chisholm was suddenly re minded that the vestry had a moral obligation In the matter under discus sion. He was president of the Majes tic TruBt company, ar.d never forgot that fact. "To what use would you devote the property of Market Square cnurch?" he gravely asked. "The erection of a terminal station for all the municipal transportation in New York," answered Allison; "sub ways, elevateds, surface cars, traction lines! The proposition should have the hearty co-operation of every citi zen." Simple little Idea, wasn't it? Gail had to think successively to compre hend what a stupendous enterprise this was; and the man talked about it And This Was a Vestry Meeting. sod a lawn; more so! Why, back home, if a man dreamed a clrea.u so vast as that, he Just talked about It for the rest of his life; and they put a poet's wreath on his tombstone. "Now you're talking sentiment," re torted stubby-mustached Jim Sargent. "You said, a while ago, that you came here strictly on business. So did we. This ia no place for sentiment." Rufus Manning, with the tip of his silvery beard in his fingers, looked up Into the delicate groining of the apse, where It curved gracefully forward over the head of the famous Henri Dupre's crucifix, and he grinned. Gall Sargent was looking contemplatively from one to the other of t.'ie grave ves trymen. "You're right." conceded Allison curtly. "Suppose you fellows talk It over by yourselves, and let me know your best offer." "Verv well," assented Jim Sargent, with an Indifference which did not seem to be assumed. "We have some other matters to discuss, and we may as 'well thrash this thing out right now. We'll let you know tomorrow." Gall looked at her watch and rose energetically. "I shall be late at Luclle's, Uncle Jim. I don't think I can wait for you." "I'll be very happy to take Miss Sargent anywhere she'd like to go," offered Allison, almost Instantane ously. "Much obliged, Allison," accepted It more and more difficult to retrieve.

Old Nicholas Van Ploon even attempted to stand gracefully on one leg, while his vest bulged over the bac' of the pew in front of him. "1 diink we'll have to make you a permanent member of the vestry," smiled Manning, the patriarch, as he bowed his adieus. "We've been need ing a brightening Influence for some time." Willis Cunningham, the thoughtful ot.e. wedged his Vandyke between the heads of Standard Cereal Clark and Hanker Chisholm. "We hope to see yon often, Miss Sargent," was his thoughtful remark. "1 mean to attend services," re turned Gall graciously, looking up Into the organ loft, where the organist was making his third attempt at that baf fling run In the Bach prelude. "You haven't said how you like our famous old church," suggested the Kev. Smith Boyd with pleasant ease, though be felt relieved that she was going. The sudden snap In Gall's eyes fair ly scintillated. It was like the shat tering of fine glass lu the sunlight. "It seems to be a remarkably lucra tive enterprise," she smiled up at him, and was rewarded by a snort from Manning. Allison frankly guffawed. The balance of the sedate vestry was struck dumb by the impertinence. Gall felt the eyes of the Kev. Smith Boyd fixed steadily on her, and turned to meet them. They were cold. She had thought them blue; but now they were green! She stared back Into them for a moment, and a little red gpot came Into the delicate tint of her oval cheeks; then she turned deliber ately to the marvelously beautiful big transept window. It had been de signed by the most famous stained glass artist in the world, and Its sub ject lent Itself to a wealth of color. It was Christ turning the money changers out of the temple! CHAPTER II. "Whv?" "Snow!" exclaimed Gail In delight, turning up her face to the delicate flakes. "And the sun shining. That means snow tomorrow!" Allison helped her Into his big, pi-rntlcal-looklng runabout, and tucked her In as If she were some fragile hot house plant which might freeze with the first cool draft. "The pretty white snow Is no friend of mine," he assured her, as he took the w heel and headed toward the ave nue. He looked calculatingly Into the "Tl.1., nn,tln..l... rfnn-nll la r.j. 1 ilia fjni IILUIU1 uun iiimii to likely to cost the Municipal Transpor tation company several thousand dol lars." "I'm curious to know the cotnmer- i cial value of a sunset In New York," Gall smiled up at him. Allison had the Impression that under the cover of her exquisitely veined lids she wag looking at him cornerwise, and having a great deal of fun all by herself. "We haven't capitalized sunsets yet, but we have hopes," he laughed. "Then there's still a commercial op portunity," she lightly returned. "I feel quite friendly to money, but It's so Intimate here. I've heard nothing else since I came, on Monday." "Even in church," he chuckled. "You delivered a reckless shock to Rev. Smith Iloyd's veBtry." "Well?" she demanded. "Didn't he ask my opinion?" "I don't think he'll make the mis take again," and Allison took the cor ner Into the avenue at a speed which made Gall, unused to bare Inches of leeway, class Allison as a demon driver. The tall traffic policeman around whose upraised arm they had circled Binlled a frank tribute to her beauty, and she felt relieved. She had cherished some feeling that they should be arrested. "Howeyer, even a church must dis cuss mofiey," went on Allison, as if he had Just decided a problem to which he had given weighty thought "Fifty millions isn't mere money," retorted Gall; "it's criminal wealth. If no man can make a million dollars honestly, how can a church?" Allison swerved out into the center of the avenue and passed a red llmou sine before he answered. He had no ticed that everybody in the street stared Into his car, and It flattered force, electricity?

Scene Painting. In the past half century, and more especially since the Improvement of the electric light, scene painting has become very elaborate and very ex pensive. Instead of being kept In Its proper place as the decoration of the drama, as a beautiful accessory of the action. It has often been pushed to the front, so as to attract attention from tne play which it was supposed to Illuminate. Shakespeare has been smothered in scenery, and the art of the actor has been subordinated to the art of the scene painter. Brander Matthews In Scrlbner's Magazine. Not Qu'ts Suited.

"The wealth of Market Square church Is natural and normal," he explained. "It arises partly from the Increase In value of property which was donated when practically worth less. Judicious Investment Is respon sible for the balance." Oh, bother!" and Gail glanced at him Impatiently. "Your natural Im pulse I to defend wealth because It It wealth; but you know that Market Square church never should have bad a surplus to Invest. The money should have been spent In charity. Why are they saving it?" Allison began to feel the same re spect for Gall's mental processes which he would for a man's, though, when he looked at her with this thought in mind, she was so thor oughly feminine that she puzzled him more than ever. "Market Square church has an am bition worthy of Its vestry," he in formed her, bringing his runabout to rest, with a swift glide, Just an accu rate three Inches behind the taxi In front of them. "When It has fifty mil lion dollars, It proposes to start build ing the most magniflceut cathedral on American soli." "Why?" she pondered. "Will a fifty million dollur cathedral save souls In proportion to the amount of money In vested?" Allison enjoyed that query thor oughly. "You must ask Rev. Smith Boyd." he chuckled. "You talk like a hea then!" "Oh, no," returned Gail gravely, and with a new tone. "I pray every morn ing and every night, and God hears me." The note of reverence in her voice was a thing to which Allison gave Instant respect. "I have no quarrel with religion. Why, Mr. Alli son, I love the church." Her eyes were glowing, the same eyes which bad closed In satirical mischief. Now they were rapt. "What a stunning collie!" she suddenly exclaimed. Allison, who had followed her with admiring attention, his mlud accom panying hers In eager leaps, laughed In relief. After all, she was a girl and what a girl! The exhilaration of the drive, and of the snow beating In her face, and of the animated conver sation, had set the clear skin of her face aglow with color. Her deep red lips, exquisitely curved and half part ed, displayed a row of dazzling white teeth, and the elbow which touched his was magnetic. Allison refused to believe that he was forty-five! "You're fond of collies," he guessed surprised to find himself with an ea ger Interest In the likes and dislikes of a young girl. It was a new experi ence. "I adore them!" she enthusiastically declared. "Back home, I have one of every marking but a pure white." There was something tender and wistful In the tone of that "back home." No doubt she had hosts of friends and admirers there, possibly a favored suitor. It was quite likely. A girl such as Gall Sargent could hardly escape It. If there was a fa vored suitor Allison rather pitied him, for Gull was In tho city of strong men. Busy with an entirely new and strange group of thoughts, Allison turned into the park, and Gall uttered an excla mation of delight as the fresh, keen air whipped In her face. The snow was like a filmy white veil against the bare trees, and enough of it had clung, by now, to outline, with silver point ing, the lacework of branches. On the turf, still green from the open win ter, It lay In thin white patches, and squirrels, clad In their sleek winter garments, were already scampering to their beds, crossing the busy drive with the adroitness of accomplished metropolitan pedestrians, their bushy tails hopping behind them In ungainly loops. The pair In the runabout were silent, for the east drive at this hour was thronged with outward-bound ma chines, and the roadway was slippery with the new-fallen snow. Steady of nerve, keen of eye, firm of hand! Gal! watched the alert figure of Allison, tensely and yet easily motionless In the seat beside her. Perhaps feeling the steady gaze, Al lison turned to her suddenly, and for a moment the gray eyes and the brown ones looked questloningly Into each other, then there leaped from the man to the woman a something which held her gaze a full second longer than she would have wished. "Air's great," he said with a smile. "Glorious!" she agreed. "I don't want to go In." '"Don't," he promptly advised her. "That's a simple enough solution," and her laugh, In the snow-laden air, reminded him, in one of thoso queer flashes of memory, of a little string of slelghbells he had ownwl as a young ster. "However, i promised Cousin Lucile." "We'll stop at ths house long enough to tell her you're busy," sug gested Allison, as eager as a boy. "Let's!" cried Call, and, with a laugh which he had discarded with his first business promotion, .Allison threw out another notch of speed, and ILLUSTRATES WITH LIVE MICE Up-to-Oate Seller of Traps Uses Novel Means to Get His Hearers Inter ested in His Goods.

They raced up and Into the park nnd around the winding driveways with the light-hearted exhilaration of children, and If there was In them at that moment any trace of mature thoucht, they weie neither one aware of It. They were glad that they were Just living, and moving swiftly In the open air, glad that It was snowing, glad that the light was beginning to fade, that there were other vehicles In the park, that the world was such a bright and happy place; and they were quite pleased, too, to be to gether. It was still light, though the electric lamps were beginning to flare up through the thin snow veil, when they Gall Watched the Alert Figure of Al lison, Tensely Motionless Betide Her. rounded a rocky drive, and came lu view of a little lookout house perched on a hill. "Oh!" called Gall. Involuntorlly put ting her hand on his arm. "I want to go up there!" The work of Edward E. Allison was well-nigh perfection. He stopped the runabout exactly at the center of the pathway, and was out and on Gail's side of the car with the agility of a youngster after a robin's egg. He helped her to alight, and would have helped her up the hill with great pleasure, but she was too nimble and too eager for that, and was In the lookout house several steps ahead ot him. When she was quite finished with the view, and turned nnd went down the hill, one of her tiny French heels slid, and she might have fallen, had It not been for the Ironlike arm which he threw back to support her. For Just an Instant she was thrown fairly In his embrace, with his arm about her waist, and her weight upon his breast; and, In thut Instant, the fire which had been smoldering in him all afternoon burst Into flame. With a mighty repression he resisted the Im pulse to crush her to him, nnd handed her to the equilibrium which she In stinctively sought, though the arm trembled which had been pressed about her. His heart sang, as he helped her Into the machine, and sprang In beside her. He felt a sav age Joy In his strength as he started the car and felt the wheel under his hard grip. He was young, younger than he had ever been In his boyhood; strong, stronger than he had ever been In his youth. What worlds he might conquer now with this new blood racing through his veins.
