rising from the table. "The conversa

He went ont of the dining rooin. and
there was silence for a moment. Mme.
Page waited until the servant had
brought in something and then asked
her to go out. She was angry, and her
anger was formidable, although checked
in somo measure by the presence of
Rachel
"I am older by several years than
you, yonng ladies," she said, and her
traditional type of U-nring seemed to
Rachel to rise op like a great fmziu
wall between her and every conception
of Jesua as a sacrifice. "What yon have

"Do yon mean, grandmother, that

of society t" asked Virginia.
"It is not require'. It is not neces
sary. Besides, how can yon act with
any''
Mme. P117 0 paused, broke off her sen
tence and then turned to Rachi 1.

If there was a
woman in nil Raymond with great am
bitions for her daughter's success as n
singer, Mrs. Winslow was that woman.
"Oh, you will see it in a different
light after wise thought of it! My
dear." continued Mme. Page, rising
from the table, "you will live to regret
it if you do not accept the concert com
pany's offer or something like it. "
Rachel sniil something that contained
a hint of the struggle she was still hav
ing, and after a little she wont away,
feeling that her departure w-as to bo
followed by a painful conversation be
tween Virginia and her trraiidmother.
As she afterward learned, Virginia

"I understand that. Mme. Page. Well,
Virginia and I have boon talking about
it. I have decided not to accept, and
that is ns far ns I hnvo gono yet."
Rachel was conscious of the fact that
the conversation had up to this point
been narrowing her hesitation concern
intr the comnanv's offer down to a de-
jcision that would absolutely satisfy her
own judgment of .Tesna probable ac
tion. It had been tho hist thing in the
world, however, that sho had desired to
huve her decision made in any way so
public as this. Somehow what Rollin
Paffe had said and his manner in say
ing it had hastened her judgment in
the matter.

Rollin suddenly. He took one last nerv
ous puff of his cigar, tossed it into the
street and walked along with o pale
face.
Rachel was surprised, but not star
tled. She had known Rollin as a boy,
and there had been a time when they
had used each other's first namo famil
iarly. Lately, however, something in
Rachel's manner had put an end to
that. She was nsed to his direct at
tempts at compliment and was some
times amused by them. Todny F.ho hon
estly wished him anywhere else.
"Do you ever think of me. Miss
Winslow?" asked Rollin after u pause
"Oh, yes, quite often I" said Rachel,
with a smile.
"Are yon thinking of mo now?"
"Yes, that is yes, I am."
"What?"
"Do yon want me to bo absolutely
truthful T'
"Of course."
"Then I was thinking that I wished
you were not hero."
Rollin bit his lip and looked gloomy
.No!" saidHacheL she spoke firm
ly. Perhaps, she thought afterward, al
though she did not mean to. ahe spoke
harshly.
They walked on for some time with
out a word. They were noaring Rachel's
home, and sho was anxious to end the
scene.
As they turned off tho avenue into
ono of the quiet streets Rollin spoke
suddenly and With more manliness than
he hd yet shown, There was a distinct
note of dignity In his voice that was
new to Rachel.
"Miss Winslow, I i-.sk you to be my
wife. Is there any hope for me that you
will ever consent t"
"None in tho least." Rachel spoke
decidedly.
"Will you tell me why V He asked
the qui I lion as if ho had a right to a
truthful answer.
"I do not feel toward you as a wom
an ought to feel toward tho man she
ought to marry. "
"In other words, yon do not love
me?"
"I do not, and I cannot."
"Why?" Thnt was another question,
and Rachel was a little surprised that
he should ask it
"Brcnuso" Sho hesitated for fear
ihe might say too much in an attempt
to speak the' exact truth.
'Tll me just why. You can't hurt
lie more than yon have done already."
"Well, 1 don't and can't lovo you
because yon have no purpose in life.
What do yon ever do to make the world
better? You spend your time in clnb
life, in amusements, in travel, In lux
ury. What is there in such a life to at
tract a woman?"
I "Not much, I guess," said Rollin.
with a little laugh. "Still, I don't
know that I am any worse than the
rest of the men around mo. I'm not so
bad as some, (ilad to know your rea
son.
"w J " r, - n
than Ravmond and the First church."
Rachel Winslow was naturally a girl
of great reserve. She shrank from mak
ing her plans or her thoughts public.
Rut with all her repression there was
Iossible in her an occasional sudden
breaking ont that was simply an im
pulsive, thoughtful, frank, truthful ex
pression of her most inner personal feel
ing. She spoke now in roply to Mme.
Page in one of those rare moments of
unreserve tha added to the attractive
ness of her whole character.

"Do yon presume to sit in judgment

me. I j' lge no one else. I condemn no

something else. "
"What else?" Mrs. Win low had not
yet I t her temper, She did not under
stand tho situation or Rachel in the
midst of it. but she was anxious that
hei daughter's career should be na dis
tinguished as her natural guts prom
ised) and sho felt confident that when;
the present unusual religions excite
ment in the First church had passed
away Rachel would go on with her
public life according to the wishes of I
the family. She was totally unprepared
for Rachel's next remark.
"What? Something that will servo
1 mankind whi re it most needs the serv
ice of song. Mother, I have made up
mv mind to nso my voice in some way
so as to satisfy my soul that I am doing
something better than pleasing fashion
able audiences or making money or even
gratifying my own lovo of singing. I am
going to do something that will satisfy
me when I ask, 'What would Jesus
do?' and I am not satisfied and cannot
be when 1 think of myself as singing
myself into the career of a cone, rt com
pany performer
Rachel spoke with a vigor and ear
nestness that surprised her mother, Mrs.
Winslow was angry now, and she never
tried to conceal her feelings.
"It is simply absurd I Rachel, you
are a fanatic! What can you dot"
"The world has nnn served by men
and women who hnvo given it other
things that were gifts. Why should I,
because I am blessed with a natural
gift, at once proceed to put a market
price on it and make all tho money I
can ont of it? Yon know, mother, that
yon have taught me to think of a mu
sical career always in the light of a
financial and social success. I have been
nnable since I made my promise two
weeks ago to imagine Jesus joining a
concert company to do what 1 would
do and live tho life I would have to live
if I joined it "
1 Mrs. Winslow IQWnnd then sat down
again. With a great effort sho com
posed herself
"What do you intend to do. then
You have not answered my question "
"I shall continue toeing for the time
being in th'o ehnreh. I am pledged to
sing there through spring. During the
week I am going to sing at the White
Cross meetings down in the Rectangle. '
"Whatl Rachel Winslow I Do you
know what yon are saying? Do yon
know what sort of people those are
down there?"
Rachel almost quailed before her
mother. For a moment sho shrank back
and was silent

Her manner showed her complete dis

felt her unspoken bitterness
About o'clock tho doctor and Vir
ginia apiieared. and together tne tnree
started for the scene of the oltet-rose
meetings
The Rectangle was the most notori
ons district in all Raymond It wu in
the territory close by the great railroad
shops and the packinghouses. The slum
and tenement district of Raymond con
gested its most wretched elementsabout
the Rectangle This was a barren field
iisiil In the summer by circus com
panies and wandering showmen It
was shut in by rows of saloons, gam
bling hells and cheap, dirty boarding
and lodging houses.
Tho First church of Raymond liad
never touched tho Rectangle problem.
It was too dirty. tx coarse, ts sinful.
tOO awfni for close contact Let ns he
honest There had been an attempt to
cleanse this sore spot by si tiding down
an occasional committee of singers, of
Sunday school teachers or gospel vis
itors from various churches, but tho
church of Raymond as an institution
had never really done anything to make
the Rectangle any less a stronghold of
the devil as the years went by.
Into this heart of the coarse part of
the sin of Raymond tho traveling evan
' gelist and his bravo little wife had
i pitched a good sized tent and begun
meetings. It was the spring of the year.
I and the evenings were beginning to be
I pleasant The evangelists had asked for
j the help of Christian people and had
I received more than the usual amount
j of encouragement, but they felt a great
need of more ami netier music. I'uiinn
the meetings on the Sunday just gone
the assistant at the organ had been
taken ill The volunteers from tho city
were few and tho voices of ordinary
quality
"There will be a small meeting to
night John." said his wife as they en
tered tho tent a littlo after 7 o'clock
and began to arrange tho chairs and
light up
"Yes; I think so. " Mr Gray was a
small energetic man. with a pleasant
voico and tho conrago of a highborn
fighter Ho had already made menus
in tho neighborhood, and ono or ins
converts, a heavy faced man, who had

rangement of tho neats.
It was after 8 o'clock when Alexan

and started to go noma Ho was going
to take a car nt tho corner of tho Rec

aroused by a Voico coming from the

It was the voire of Rachel Winslow.
