toward the carriage. 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.

"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

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

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.
