I will follow thee whithereocrer thou The Saturday matinee Ht the Andi- ininin in Chicago wan jnet over, nnd he atmal crowd wan stnigidinx to get o its I'itrriagl before, any one else. The Auditorium attendant was shunting out he number of different carriages, and :he carriago doom were slamming as ;he hori?8 were driven rapidly to the tnrb, held there impatient by the rivers, who had shivered long in the aw east wind, and turn let go to ilnnge for n few minutes ir.to the river if vehicles that tossed Under the ale ated railway and finally went whirling luff np the avenue.

The older one had 'entered and taken her seat, and the at tendant was still holding the door open for the younger, who stood hesitating on the curl). "Come, Felicia! What aro yon wait ing for? I shall freeee to death I" called the voice from the carriage. The girl outside of the carriage hast ily unpinned a bunch of English violets from her dress and handed them to a miall boy who was standing shivering on the edge of the sidewalk, almost tinder the horses' feet He took them with a look of astonishment nnd a "Thank ye, lady I" and instantly buried a very grimy face in the bunch of per fume. The girl stepped into the car riage, the door shut with the incisive bang peculiar to well made carriages of this sort, and in a few moments the coachman was speeding the horses rap idly up one of the boulevards. "You are always doing some qneer thing or other, Felicia," said the older girl as the carriage whirled on past the great residences already brilliantly lighted. Am It What have I done that is queer now. KoseT asked the other, looking up suddenly and turning her head toward her sister. "Oh, giving those violets to that boyl He looked as if he needed a good hot supper more than a bunch of violets. It's a wonder yon didn't invite him home with us. I shouldn't have been cnrv an1 it Is at- I Vnn ah va nltvava irvji j.r icw. 44 j i,i vu v aannjB doing such qneer things, Felicia. " "WftnlH it Ha nnMr tn 1 n V i tA n Knv like that to come to the house and get a hot supper T" Felicia asked the ques tion softly and almost as if she were alone. "Queer isn't just the word, of course. " replied Rose indifferently. "It would be what Mnie. Blanc calls outre decidedly. Therefore you will please not invite him or others like him to hot suppers because I suggested it Oh. dear I I'm awfully tired." She yawned, and Felicia silently looked out of the window in the door. "The concert was stupid, and the violinist was simply a bore. I don't see how you could sit so still through it all," Rose exclaimed, a little impa tiently. "I liked the music. " answered Felicia quietly. "You like anything. I never saw a girl with so little critical taste. " Felicia colored slightly, but would not answer. Rose yawned again and then hummed a fragment of a popular eng. Then she exclaimed abruptly: "I'm sick of almost everything. I hope the 'Shadows of London' will be exciting tonight" " 'The Shadows of Chicago I' " mur mured Felicia. " 'The Shadows of Chicago!' "The Shadows of London, ' the play, the great drama with its wonderful acenerv. the sensation of New York for two month. J Yon know we have a box with the De lano lonignt. Felicia turned her face toward her sister. Her great brown eyes were very expressive and not altogether free from a sparkle of luminous heat "And yet we never weep over the real thing on the actual stage of life. What are the shadows of London on the stage to the shadows of London or Chi cago as they really exist T Why don't we get excited over the facts as they are?" "Because the actual people are dirty and disagreeable and it's too much bother, I suppose, " replied Rose care lessly. "Felicia, you never can reform the world. What's the use f We're not to blame for the poverty and misery. There nave always been rich and poor, and there always will be. We ought to be thankful we're rich. " "Suppose Christ had gone on that principle," replied Felicia, with un usual persistence. "Do yon remember Dr. Brace's sermon on that verse a few Sundays ago, 'For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for our aakes he be came poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich f " "I remember it well enough," said Rose, with some petulance. "And didn't Dr. Bruce go on to aay that there was no blame attached to people who had wealth if they are kind and give to the needs of the poor ! And I am sure the doctor himself is pretty comfortably settled. He never gives up his luxuries jut because some people in the city go hungry. What good would It do if he IVS! I tell you, Felicia, there will al ways lie poor M rvn in runu an we ran do Ever since K.ichel hiu written about the queer doings in Raymond run huvo npntt the whole family Peo ple can't live at tha) concert pitch all the time You see if Kuchel doesn't eive it up soon It's a great pity she doesn't come to Chicago and sing in the Auditorium concerts I heard today she had received an offer I'm going to write and urge her ro come I'm just dying to hear her sing. " Felicia looked out of the window and was silent The carriage rolled on past two blocks of magnificent private resi dences and turned Into a wide drive way under a covered passage, und the sisters hurried into the house It was un elegant mansion of gvaystone. fur nished like a palace, every corner of it warm with the luxury of paintings, sculpture, art and refinement The owner of it all. Mr Charles R. Sterling, stood before an open grate fire smoking a cigar. Ke had made his money in grain speculation and rail road ventures and was reputed to be worth something over two millions. His wife was a sister of Mrs. Winslow of Raymond. She had been an invalid for several years. The two girls. Rose nnd Felicia, were the only children. Rooe was 81 years old, fair, vivacious, educated in a fashionable college, just entering society and already somewhat cynical and Indifferent a very hard' young lady to phase, her father said, sometimes playfully, sometimes sternly, j Felicia was lit, with a tropical beauty somewhat like her cousin. Rachel Wins- j low, with warm, generous impulses just waking Into Christian feeling, ca pable of all sorts of expression, a puzzle to her father, a source of irritation to her mother and with a great, nnsur Veyed territory of thought and action in herself of, which she was more than dimly conscious. There was that in Felicia that would easily endure any condition in life if only the liberty to uct fully on her conscientious convic tions were grunted her "Here's a letter for yon, Felicia." said Mr. Sterling, taking it out of his pocket Felicia sat down and Instantly opened the letter, saying us she did so, "It's from Rachel. " "Well, what's the latest news from Raymond?" asked Mr. Sterling, taking his cigar out of his mouth und looking at Felicia, as he often did, with half shut eyes, as if he were studying her. "Rachel says Dr. Bruce has been studying in Ruymond for two Sundays and has seemed very much interested in Mr. Maxwell's pledge in the First church. " "What does Rachel aay about her self?" asked Rose, who was lying on a couch almost buried under half a dozen elegant cushions "She is still singing at the Rectangle. Since the tent meetings closed she sings in an old hall until the new buildings her friend Virginia Page is putting up are completed. " "I must write Ruchel to come to Chi cago and visit us. She ought not to throw away her voice in that railroad town upon all those people who don't appreciate her. Mr. Sterling lighted a new oigar. and Rose exclaimed i "Rachel is awfully queer, I think She might set Chicago wild with her voice if she sung in the Auditorium, and there she goes on, throwing her voice away on people who don't know what they are hearing. " "Rachel won't come hero unless she can do it and keep her pledge at the same time," said Felicia after a pause. "What pledge?" Mr. Sterling asked the question and then added hastily "Oh, I know I Yes; a very peculiar thing that Powers used to be a friend of mine. We learned telegraphy in the same office; made a great sensation when he resigned and handed over that evidence to the interstate commerce commission, and he's back at his te legraphy again. There have been queer doings in Raymond 'during the past year. I wonder what Dr. Bruce thinks of it, on the whole. I must have a talk with him about it" "He preaches tomorrow," said Feli cia. "Perhaps he will tell us something about it " There was silence for a minute. Then Felicia paid abruptly, as if she had gone on with a spoken thought to some invisible hearer, "And what if he should propose the same pledge to the Nazareth Avenue church?" "Who ? What are yon talking about ?" asked her father, a little sharply. "About Dr. Bruce. I say what if he should propose to our church what Mr. Maxwell proposed to his and ask for volunteers who would pledge themselves to do everything after asking the ques tion. 'What would Jesus dot' " "There's no danger of it " said Rose, rising suddenly from the couch as the tea bell rang. "It's a very impracticable movement to my mind," said Mr. Sterling sharply. "I understand from Rachel's letter that the church in Raymond is going to make an attempt to extend the idea of the pledge to the other churchea If they succeed, they will certainly make great changes in the churches and in people's lives," said Felicia. "Oh, well, let's have some tea first, " said Rose, walking into the dining room Her father and Felicia followed, and the meal proceeded in silence. Mrs. Sterling had her meals served in her room Mr. Sterling was preoccupied He ate very little and excused himself early, and, although it was Saturday night he remarked as he went out that he would be down town late on some special business. "Don't you think father looks very much disturbed lately?" asked Felicia a little while after he had gone out "Oh. I don't know I I hadn't noticed anything unusual, " replied Rose. After a silence she said: "Are you going to the play tonight Felicia! Mrs. Delano will be here at half past 7. I think you ought to go. She will feel hurt if you refuse." "I'll go, I don't care about it I can All Right Mow. "Overwork and loss o; necessary sleep mads me very nervous and it was with the greatest d.iliculty that I could execute my solos.

Elkhart, Ind. see eiiadows enongb without going to the play. " "That's a doleful remark for a girl 10 yean old to uiuke, " replied Rose, "but then you're queer in your ideas anyhow, Felicia. If you're going np to J see mother, tell her I'll run in after the play if she is still uwake, " Felicia went up to see ber mother und remain with her until the Delano carriage caiua Mrs. .sterling was wor ried about her husband. She talked in cessantly and was irritated by every re mark Felicia made. She would not list en to Felicia's attempts to read even a part of Rachel's letter, and when Fe licia offered to stay with her for the evening she refused the offer with a good deal of positive sharpness. So Felicia started off to the play not very happy, but she was familiar with that feeling, only sometimes she was more unhappy thun at other times. Her reeling expressed itself tonight by a withdrawal into herself. When the company was seated in the box and the curtain was np, Felicia was back of the others and remained for the even ing by herself. Mrs Delano as chaperon for a half dozen young ladies under stood Felicia well enough to know that she was "queer, as Rose so often said an 1 she made no attempt to draw her ut of the corner, and so Felicia really experienced that night by herself one of the feelings that added to the mo mentum that was increasing the coming on of her great crisis. The play was an English melodrama full of startling situations, realistic scenery and Unexpected cliinuxes. There was one scene in the third act that im pressed even Rose Sterling It was midnight on Blackfriars bridge. The Thames flowed dark and forbidding below. St Paul's rose through the dim light, imposing, its dome seeming to float above the build ings surrounding it The figure of a child came upon the bridge and stood there for a moment, peering about as if looking for some one. Several persons were crossing the bridge, but in one of the recesses about midway of the river a woman stood, leaning out over the parapet with a strained agony of face and figure that told plainly of her in tentions. Just as she was stealthily mounting the parapet to throw herself into the river the child caught sight of her, ran forward with a shrill cry more animal thun human, and seizing the woman's dress, dragged back upon it with all her little strength. Then there came suddenly npon the scene two other characters who had already figured in the play, a tall, handsome, athletic gen tleuiun dressed in the fashion, attended by a slim figured lad who was as re fined in dress and appearunce as the lit tle girl clinging to ber mother was mournfully hideous in her rags and re pulsive poverty. These two. the gentle man and the lad prevented the at tempted suicide, and after a tableau on the bridge where the audience learned that the man and woman were brother end sister the scene was transferred to the interior of one of the slum tene ments in the east side of London. Here the scene painter and carpenter had done their utmost to produce an exact copy of a famous court and alley well known to the ioor creatures who make up a part of the outcast London hu manity. The rags, the crowding, the vileness. the broken furniture, the hor rible animal existence forced upon creatures made in Ood's image, were so skillfully shown in this scene that more than one elegant woman in the theater, seated like Rose Sterling, in a sump tuous box, surrounded with silk hang ings and velvet covered railing, caught herself shrinking back a little, as if contamination were possible from the nearness of this piece of painted canvaa. It was almost too realistic, and yet it had a horrible fascination for Felicia as she sat there alone, buried back in a cushioned seat absorbed in thoughts that went far beyond the dialogue on the stage. From the tenement scene the play shifted to the interior of a nobleman's palace, and almost a sigh of relief went up all over the house at the sight of the accustomed luxury of the upper classes The contrast was startling it was bronght about by a clever piece of stag ing that allowed onlv a few minutes to elapse between the slum and the palace scene The dialogue continued, the actors came and went in their various roles, but upon Felicia the play made bat one distinct impression In reality the ocenes on the bridge and in the lnm were ouly incidents in the ttory of the play, but Felicia found herself living those scenes over and over She Nad never philosophized nhotlt the causes of human misery She was not old enough She bad not the tempera went that philosophizes lint she felt intensely, and this was not the first time she had fell the contrast thrust into ber feeling between the upper and the lower conditions of human lif& It had been growing upon her until it had made her what Rose called "queer" and the other people in her circle of wealthy acquaintances culled "very unusual.' It was simply the human problem in its extremes of riches and poverty, its refinement and its vileness. which wus in spue of her unconscious attempts to struggle against the facts, burning into ber life the impression tliHt would in thai end transform her into either a woman of rare love und self sacrifice for the world or a miserable enigma to herself and all who knew her "Come. Felicia I Aren t you going home?' said Rose The play was over, the curtain down, and people were go mg noisily out. laughing and gossiping as if "The Shadows of London ' was simply good diversion, us it wus put on the stage so effectively Felicia rose and went ont with the rest quietly and with the absorbed feel ing that had actually left her in her seat oblivious of the play's ending She was never absentininded. but often thought herself into a condition that left her alone in the midst of a crowd. "WelL what did you think of it?' asked Rose when the sisters had reached home and were in the drawing room Hose really had considerable respect for Felicia's judgment uf a play "1 thought it wus a pretty picture of real life " "1 mean the acting, " suld Rose, an noyed "The bridge scene was well acted especially the woman's part I thought the man overdid the sentiment a little. ' "Did you I 1 enjoyed that. And waan t the scene between the two cous ins funny when they first learned that they were reluted? But the slum scene was horrible 1 think they ought not to show such things in a play Thoy are too painful " "They must be painful In real life, too," replied Felicia. "Yes, but we don't have to look at the real thing It's bad enough at the theater, where we pay for it " Rose went into the drawing room and began to eat from a plate of fruit and cukes on the sideboard "Are you going up to see mother?" asked Felicia after awhile. She had re mained in front of the drawing room fire. "No," replied Roae from the other room; "I won't trouble her tonight If you go in, tell her I am tx tired to be agreeable. " So Felicia turned into her mother's room. As she went up tho great stair ease and down the upper hall the light was burning there, and the servant who always wailed on Mrs. Sterling was beckoning Felicia to come in. "Tell Clara to go out," exclaimed Mrs. Sterling us Felicia cuine up to the bed und kneeled by it. Felicia was surprised, but she did us her mother bade her and then inquired how she was feeling. "Felicia," suid hex mother, "can yon pray?" The question was so unlike any her mother had ever asked before that Fe licia was startled, but she answered: "Why, yes, mother. What makes von ask such u question ? "Felicia, I um frightened Your fa ther I have had such strange fears stunt him all day. Something is wrong with him. I want yon to pray. "Now? Here, mother?" "Yea Pray, Felicia." Felicia reached out her hand and took her mother's. It wus trembling. Mrs. Sterling bad never shown much tender ness for her younger duughter, and her strange demand now was the first real sign of any confidence in Felicia's character. The girl still kneeled, holding her mother's trembling hand, and prayed. It was doubtful if she hud ever prayed aloud before. She must have said in her prayer the words that her mother needed, for when it wus silent in the room the invalid was weeping softly, and her nervous tonsiou was over. Felicia staid some time. When she was assured that her mother would not need her any longer, she rose to go. "Good night, mother. Yon must let Clara ceJl me if you feel bad in the night" "I feel better now. " Then as Felicia was moving away Mrs. Sterling said "Won't you kiss me, Felicia?" Felicia went back and bent over her mother. The kiss was almost as strange to her as the prayer had been. When Felicia went out of the room, her cheeks were wet with tears. She hud not cried since she was a little girL Sunday morning at the Sterling man sion was generally very quiet The girls usually went to church at 11 o'clock service. Mr. Sterling was not a mem ber, but a heavy contributor, and he generally went to church in the morn ing. This time he did not come down to breakfast and finally sent word by a servant that he did not feel well enough to go out So Rose and Felicia drove up to the door of the Nazareth Avenue church and entered the family pew alone When Dr. Bruce walked out of the roam at tha rear of the platform and went up to the pulpit to open the Bible,; as his custom was, those who knew him best did not detect anything un usual in his manner or his expression. lo- proceeded wi;h the service m r.s.ial he was calm, uud Ins voice was steady and til in His prayer wus the first inti mation the people had of anything new W strange in the service It is safe to say that the Nazareth Avenue church had uot heard Dr. Bruce offer such a prayer during the 12 years he had been pastor there. How would a minister be likely to pray who had come out of a revolution in Christian feeling that had COmpll tely changed his definition of what was meant by following Jesus? No one in Nazareth Avenue church had any idea that the Rov Calvin Bruce. D D.. the dignified, cultured, refined doctor of divinity, hud within a few days been crying like a little child, on his knees, asking for strength and cour age and Cbristlikeneai to speak bis Sun day message, and yet the prayer was an unconscious, involuntary disclosure i f the sod's experience such as Nazareth Avenue people seldom heard and never before from that pulpit. In the lnisli that succeeded the prayer a distinct wave of spiritual power moved over the congregation The most careless persons in the church f It it Felicia, whose sensitive religious nature responded swiftly to every touch of emotion, quivered under the passing of that supernatural power, und when she lifted her head and looked up at the minister there was a look in her eyes that announced her intense, eager an ticipation of the scene that was to fol low And she was not alone in her atti tude There was something in the prayer and the resnlt of it that stirred many and many a disciple in Nazareth Avenue church All over the house men and women leaned forward, and when Dr Bruce begun to speak of his visit to Raymond in the opening sentence! of his address, which this morning pre ceded his sermon, there was an answer ing response in the church that came buck to him as he spoke and thrilled him with the hope of a spiritual bap tism such as he had never during ull his ministry experienced.
