thai they hnd been
nursing for 50 years one of the most

the lime being Milton suffered n ''inl
ine shock. Long pent it feeling agtttust
the whisky power bursl out, anil pub
lie sentiment for once condemned the
source of the cowardly attempt to mur
der. Various rumors were flying nhout. It
vims smli thai Mr, Strong hud I n
stnhlied In the bnek whll it making
i i-i 1 1 i :ills in fnmpnny with his wife
miuI thai she had I n wounded by u
pistol sh..i herself, it was also said
that he had been shot through the
heart and instnntly killed. Hut till
thes n fused reports were Anally set
mi resl when those enillug ut the par
souitge brought away the exact truth.
The flrst shot Hred by the man from
behind the i struck Philip in the
knee, but the hall glanced off. He felt
the blow Mini staggered, but his next
impulse wms to ri i 1 1 in the direction of
tin' sound Mini disarm his assailant.
That was the reason he hud leaped into
the street. Hut the second shot was
better aimed, and the bullet crashed in
to his upper arm and shoulder, shatter
ing the bone and producing nn exceed
ingly painful, though not fatal, wound.
The shock caused Philip to full, mill
he tiiinted away, but not before the
fin e of the man who had shot him was
clearly Btamped on his mind. He knew
that he was one of the saloon proprie
tors whose establishment Philip had
visited the week before. He was a man
with a harelip, and there was no mis
taking his countenance.
when the people of Milton learned
that Philip was not fatally wounded,
their excitement cooled a little. A
wave of Indignation, however, swept
over the town When it was learned that
the would be murderer was recognised
by the minister, nud it was rumored
that he had openly threatened that he
would "flx the cursed preacher so that
he would not be aide to preach again."
Philip, however, felt more full of
light against the rum devil than ever.
As he lay on the bed the morning after
the shooting he had nothing to regret
or fear. The surgeon bad been called
at once, ms soon ms his wife and the
alarmed neighbors had been aide to
cany him Into the parsonage. The ball
had been removed and the wounds
dressed. Hv noon he had recovered

other room.
It is your hi I. Philip," replied his
Wife, with a shudder. "It dripped like
n stream from your shoulder as we
carried you in last night. Oh, Philip,
it is dreadful! it seems to like an
awful uiglittnnre. Let us move away
from this terrible place. You will be
killed if we stM.v here."
"There isn't much danger if the rest
of 'cm are as poor shots as this fel
low." replied Philip. "Now. little wo
man." he went on cheerfully, "don't
worry. 1 don't believe they'll try it
again."
Mrs. Strong controlled herself. Bhe
did nol want to break down w hile Phil
ip was in his present condition.
"You must not talk." she said ns she
smoothed his hair back from the pale
forehead.
"Thai's pretty hard on a preacher,
don't you think, Sarah? My occupa
tion Is gone it I can't talk."
'Then I'll lulk for two. They say
that most women can do that."
w ill you preach for me next Sun
day V"
"What, and make myself a target for
saloon keepers'.' No, thank you. 1 have
half a mind to forbid you ever preach
ing again. It will be the death of
you."
"It is the life of me, Sarah. 1 would
nol ask anything better than to die
with the armor on, fighting evil. Well,
ail right. I won't talk any more. I
suppose there's no objection to my
thinking a little?"
"Thinking is tbe worst tiling yon
can do. You just wnnt to lie there
and do nothing but get well."
"AH right I'll quit everything ex
cept eating and sleeping. Put tip n lit
tle placard on the head of the bed say
ing: 'Biggest curiosity in Milton! A
live minister who has stopped think
ing and talking! Admission 10 cents!
Proceeds to be devoted to teach sa
loon keepers bow to shoot straight!' "
Philip was still somewhat under the
Influence of the doctor's anaesthetic,
and as he faintly murmured this nb
surd sentence he fell iuto a slumber
which lasted several hours, from
which lie awoke very feeble and realis
ing that he would be Confined to the
house some time, but feeliug in good
spirits and thankful out of the depths
of his vigorous nature that he was still
spared to do God's will on earth.
The next day he felt strong enough

I to receiveva few visitors. Among them
was the chief of police, who came to
j inquire concerning the Identity of the
: man who had done the shooting. Phil
ip showed some reluctance to witness
! against his enemy, it was only when
he remembered that he owed a duty
to society as well ms to himself that he
described the man and related minute
ly the entire affair exactly us It 00-
; curred.
"Is the man In town?" asked Philip.
Has be not Bed?"
"1 think I know where he is." re
plied the officer. "Ilea in hiding, but
1 can Hud him. In fuct, we have been
buuting for him sluce the shooting.
Me is wanted on several other
charges."
Philip was pondering something in
silence. At last he said:
"When you hnve arrested him. 1
wish ,Mii would bring him here if it
can be done without violating any or
dinance or statute."
TI Ilicer stared at the request, and
the minister's wife exclaimed: "Philip,
you will not have that man come Into
the house: Besides, you are not well
enough t" endure a meeting with the
wretch !"
"Sarah, 1 have a g I reason for It.
Iteiilly, I am well enough. You will
bring him. won't you? I do not wish
lo make any mistake in I he matter.
Before the man is really confined un
der a criminal charge of attempt to
murder I would like to confront him
lure. There can be no objection lo
that, can t here?"
The officer Anally promised that, if
lie could do so without attracting too
much attention, he would Comply with
the request. It was a thing he bad
never done before. He was not quite
easy In Ids mind about It. Neverthe
less Philip exercised !l Winning illllu-
ence over all sorts and conditions of
men. nnd he felt quite sure that if the
Officer could arrest his man quietly he
would bring him to the pnrsonnge.
This was Thursday night. The next
evening, just after dark, the bell rang,
and one of the church members who
had been slaying with Mr. Strong dur
ing; the day went to the door. There
stood two men. One of them was the
chief of police. He inquired how the
minister was and said that he hud a
man with bjm whom the minister was
anxious to see.
Philip heard them talking aud guess
ed who they were. He sent his wife
out to have the men come In, The of
ficer with bis man came iuto the bed
room where Philip lay, still weak and
suffering, but at his request propped
up a little with pillows.
"Well. Mr. Strong. I have got the
man. and here he is." said the officer,
wondering What Philip could want of
him. "1 ran him down in the 'crow's
nest' below the mills, and we popped
him iuto n hack nud drove right up
here with blm. And a pretty sweet
specimen he Is. I can tell you! Take
off your bat and let the gentleman
have anot her look at the brave chap
who fired at him In ambush."
' The officer spoke almost brutally,
forgetting for a moment that the pris
oner's hands were manacled. Bemefn
bering it the next instant, he pulled off
the man's hat. while Philip looked
calmly at the features. Yes. it was the
same hideous, brutal face, with the
harelip, which had shone up In the
rays of the street lamp thnt night.
There wns no mistaking It for any
other.
"Why did you want to kill me?" nsk
ed Philip after a significant pause. "1
never did you any harm."
"I would like to kill all the cursed
preachers." replied the man hoarsely.
"You confess then, that you are the
man who fired at me, do you?"
"I don't confess anything. What are
you talking to me for? Take me to
the lockup if you're going to!" the man
exclaimed fiercely, turning to the oiil
jer. "Philip," cried his wife, turning to
him with a gesture of appeal, "send
them away.' It will do uo good to talk
to this man!"
Philip raised his hand in n gesture
toward the man that made every one
in the room feel a little awed. The
officer, In speaking of it afterward,
said: "I tell you, boys. 1 never felt
quite the same except once, when the
old Catholic priest stepped up on the
platform with old man i lower time he
was hanged at Millville. Somehow
then I felt as if, when the priest rais
ed ids hand and began to pray, maybe
we might all be glad to have some one
pray for us If W6 get iuto a tight
place."
Philip spoke directly to the mau.
Whose look fell beneath that of the
minister.
"You know well enough that you are
the man who shot me Tuesday night.
I know you are the man, for 1 saw
your face very plainly by the light of
the strci t lamp. Now. all that I want
ed to see you here for before yon were
taken to Jail was to let you know thnt
1 do not bear any hatred toward you.
The tiling you have done is against the
law of God and man. The Injury you
have inflicted upon me Is very slight
compared with that ngalnst your own
soul. Oh, my brother man, why should
you try to harm nie because I denounc
ed your business? Do you not know
in your heart of hearts that the saloon
is so evil In its effects that a man who
loves his home and his country must
speak out against it? And yet I love
you. That is possible because you are
human. b. my Father," Philip con
tinued, changing ins npiical to the
man by an almost natural manner into
a petition to the Infinite, "make this
soul dear to thee, to behold thy love
for him. and make him see that it is not
Uga usl me, a mere man. that in' lias
sinned, but against thyself against
the purity and holiness and affection!
Oh. my bid. thou who didst come in
the llkelli ss of sinful men to seek and
save that which was lost, stretch out
the arms of thy salvation now to this
child and save him from himself, from
his own disbelief, his hatred of me or
of what I have said! Thou art all
merciful and all loving. We leave all
souls of men in the protecting. Infold
ing embrace of thy boundless compas
sion and infinite mercy."
There was a moment f entire quiet
in tin1 r and then Philip said faint
ly: "Sarah. I cannot say more. Only
tell the man I bear him no hatred and
commend him to the love of God."
Mrs. Strong was alarmed at Philip's
appearance. The scene hail been too
much for his strength, she hastily
commanded the officer to lake his pris
oner away and with the help of her
friend cared for the minister, who.
alter the tirt fnlntuess, rallied and
then gradually sank iuto sleep thai
proved nunc refreshing than any be
had yet enjoyed since tbe night of tbe
shoot ing.
The next day found Philip Improv
ing more rapidly than Mrs. Strong had
thought possible. Bhe forbade him the
sl-lit of all callers, however, and in
sisted that he mUSl keep quiet. Ills
wounds were healing satisfactorily,
and when the surgeon called he ex
pressed himself much pleased with Ills
patient's appearance.
"Say, doctor, do you really think it
would set me back any to think a lit
tle?" "No. I never heard of thinking hurl
lUg people. 1 have generally consider
ed it a healthy habit."
"The reason I asked." continued Phil
ip gravely, "was because my wife ai;
Bolutely forbade It, and I was wonder
ing how loii- 1 could keep It up anil
fool anybody."
"That's a specimen of his stubborn
ness, doctor." said the minister's wife,
smiling. "Why, only a few minutes
before you came in he was Insisting
that he could preach tomorrow. Think
of it, a man with a shattered shoulder,
who would have to stand on one leg
ami do all his gesturing with his left
hand; a man who can't preach with
out the use of seven or eight arms and
as many pockets and has to walk up
and down the platform like a lion
when be gets started on his delivery!
And yet he wants to preach tomorrow!
He's that stubborn that I don't know
that lean keep him at home. You would
better leave some powders to put him
to sleep, nnd we will keep him in n
state of unconsciousness until Monday
morning."
"Now, doctor, Just listen to me
nwhlle. Mrs. Strong is talking for
two women, as she agreed to do. nnd
that puts me in a hard position. Hut 1
want to know how soon I can get to
work again."
"You will have to lie there a month,"
said the doctor bluntly.
"Impossible: 1 never lied that time
in my life!" said Philip soberly.
"It would serve him right to per
form a BUrgical operation on him for
that, wouldn't it. Mrs. strong?" the
Burgi on appeal i I to her.
"I think he deserves the worst you
i an do, doctor."
"But say, dear people. 1 can't slay
here a month. I must

"Don't worry. Philip. The church
will take care of that."
But Philip was already eager to get
to work, only the assurance of the sur
geon that he might possibly get out in
a little over three weeks satisfied him.
Sunday came and passed. Some one
from a neighboring town who happen
ed to be visiting in Milton occupied the
pulpit, and Philip bad a quiet, restful
day. He started in the week determin
ed to beat the doctor's time for recov
ery, ami. having a remarkably strong
constitution and a tremendous will, lie

house In two weeks. His shoulder

bothered him, and it seemed likely that
he would go lame for a long time. Hut
be was not concerned about that if on
ly he could go about in any sort of
fashion once more.
Wednesday of thai week he was sur
prised in an unexpected manner by an
event which did more than anything
else tn hasten his recovery. He was
i still confined to bed down stairs when
in the afternoon the bell rang, and Mrs.
; Btrong went to the door, supposing it
was one of the church people come to
Inquire about the minister. She found
instead Alfred Burke, Philip's old col-
I lege chum ami seminary classmate.
I Mrs. Strong welcomed him heartily,
and in answer to Ills eager inquiry con
cerning Philip's condition she brought
him Into the room, knowing her pa-
I ticut quite well and feeling sure the
j sight of ids old chum would do him
more good than harm. The tirst thing
Alfred said was:
"Old man. I hardly expected to see
you again this side of heaven. HOW
iloes it happen that you are alive here
I tfter all the times the papers have had
j you killed?"
"Had marksmanship principally. I
! used to think I was a big man. But
after the shooting I came to the con
! elusion that I must be rather small."
i "Your heart Is so big it's a wonder to
me that you weren't shot through It,
no matter where you were hit. But I
tell you It seems good to see you in
the flesh once more."
"Why didn't you come nnd preach
for me last Sunday?" asked Diilip
quizzically.
"Why, haven't you heard? 1 did not
get news of the affair until lost Sat
urday In tny western parish, and I wns
just in the throes Of packing up to
come on to Elm dale."
"Elmdaler
"Yes; I've had a call there. So we
shall lie neighbors. Mrs. Burke Is up
there now getting the house straighten
ed out, and I came rluht down here."
"So you are pastor of the Chapel
Hill church? it's a splendid opening
for a young preacher. Congratulations,
Alfred."
"Thank you. Philip. By the way, I
saw by the paper that you bad declin
ed a call to Blmdale, so I suppose they
pitched on me for a second choice. You
never wrote me of their call to you,"
he said, a little reproachfully.
"It didn't occur to me," replied Phil
ip truthfully. "But how are you go
ing to like it? Isn't It rather a dull old
place?"
"Yes. I suspect It Is. compared with

sasslns and murderers every time you
go out to player meeting or make par
ish calls. How do you like your work
so far?"
"There is plenty of it," answered
Philip gravely. "A minister must be
made of cast iron and lire brick in or
der to stand the wear and tear of tliese
times in which we live. I'd like a
week to trade ideas with you and talk
over the w i'k, Alfred."
"Yi .'d get the worst of the bar
gain.
'1 don't know nhout that. I'm not
doing any thinking lately. But now, as
we're going to be only oil miles apart.
what's to hinder an exchange once iu
awhile?"
"I'm agreeable to that," replied Phil
ip's chum; "on condition, however, that
you furnish me with a gun and pay
all surgeon's hills when I occupy your
pulpit."
'Hone." said Philip, with a grin. And
Just then Mrs. Strong forbade any
more talk. Alfred staid until the even
ing train, and when he left he stooped
down nnd kissed Philip's cheek. "It's
a custom we learned when in the Ger-
man universities together that sum
mer nfter college, you know," he ex
plained, with the slightest possible
blush, when Mrs. Strong came In aud
caught him in the net. It seemed to
her. however, like an affecting thing
that two big, grown up men like her
husband and his old chum showed
such tender affection for each other.
The love of men for men In the strong
friendship of school and college life is
one of tlie marks of human divinity.
CHAPTER VI.
In spite of his determination to get
out and occupy his pulpit the first
Sunday of the next month Philip was
reluctantly obliged to let Ave Sundays
go by before be was able to preach.
Inning those six weeks Ills attention
was called to a subject which he felt
ought to be made the theme of one of
his talks on "Christ and Modern Socie
ty." The leisure which be bad for read
ing opened his eyes ft) the fact that
Sunday in Milton wms terribly desecrat
ed. Shops of nil kinds stood wide open.
Excursion trains rau into the large
city W miles away, two theaters were
always running with some variety
show, and the saloons, in violation of
an ordinance forbidding it. unblushing
ly Hung their doors open and did more
business on that day than any other.
As Philip read the papers he noticed
that every Monday morning the police
court was more crowded with "drunks"
and "disorderlies" than on any oilier
day in the week, and the plain cause of
It was tbe abuse of the day before.
Iu the summer time baseball games
were played in Milton on Sunday. In
the fall nnd winter very many people
siient their evenings in card playing
or aimlessly si rolling up and down the
main street. These facts came to Phil
ip's knowledge gradually, and he was
not long in making up Ids mind tiiat
t'lirist would not keep silent before the
facts. So he carefully prepared a
plain statement of Ids belief iu Christ's
standing on the modern use of Sun
day, and ns on the other occasions
when he had spoken the llrst Sunday
in the month he cast out of his reckon
ing all thought of the consequences.
His one purpose was to do just as, in
his thought of Christ, he would do
With thai subject.
The people in Milton thought that
the iirst Sunday Philip appeared in his
pulpit he would naturally denounce the
saloon again. But when he finally re
covered sufficiently to preach he de
termined thnt for awhile he would say
nothing In the way of sermons against
the whisky evil. He had a great hor
ror of seeming to ride n hobby, of be
ing a man of one idea and making peo
ple tired of him because he harped on
one string. He hnd uttered his de
nunciation, nnd he would wait a little
la-fore lie spoke again. The whisky
power was not the only bad thing in
Milton that needed to be attacked.
There were other things which must
be said. And so Philip limped into bis
lulplt the third Sunday of the month
ana preached on a general theme, to
the disappointment of a great crowd

almost as large its the la-t one he lui.i
faced. And yet his y appearnui
was a sermon in itseu ugaiusi the in
stitution he had held up in public con
demnation on that occasion. His kiio
Wound proved very stubborn, ami h
limped badly. Thai in itself spok
eloquent lv ot tbe dastardly attempt
his life. His face was pale, nnd
had grown thin. Ills shoulder WIU
stiff, and the enforced quietness of I
delivery contrasted strangely with ill
customary flery appearance on tii
platform. Altogether that Hrst Bun-
day of ids reappearance iu ills pulpit
was ti stronger sermon against the si
loon than anything he could have Bp
keu or written.
When the first Sunday in th t
month came on, Philip was more like
his old self. He had gathered Strength
enough to go around two Sunday after
noons and note for himself the dese
cration of the day as it went on reck
lessly. As lie saw it all It seemed in I
him that the church in Milton wall
practically doing nothing to stop tiiel
evil. All the ministers complained off
the difficulty of getting nu evening con
gregation, let hundreds of young
people walked past all the chnrcheSH
every Sunday night, beut on pleasur
going to the theaters or concerts ofl
parties, which seemed to have uo trou
ble In attracting the crowd. Espe
cially was this true of the foreiga
population, the working element con
nected with the mills. It was a coin-.
mon occurrence for dog fights, cn-il
fights and shooting matches of vnrhaiil
kinds to be going ou in the tenement I
district on Sunday, and the poliifl
seemed powerless or careless iu tbsl
