"WHOM OOl) BATH JOIXKD TOOKTBBI LET NO MAS PUT ASlTNIlEIt." ITc bad corns directly to bis subject, feeling that It was ln-st so. Mrs. Een rose looked at lilm iu the greatest as- UlllisllIllPllt. "You love Dorothy ?" sht said slowly. "Yes," rrpllotl Malcom Kirk simply. "I have loved her for four years. Ever sIdco I entered the senilnary, In fact." Mrs, Penrose sat still ami looked more keenly at the awkward, homely figure in her reception room. She was a woman of treat quickness of percep tion. To do her Justice she had pre eminently a lHij;e fund of fairness and a sense of Justice which came to her through a long line of pilgrim ances tors. She saw in tho man who bat Just declared his love for her niece so abruptly something more than a com mon average man. There was a look In his eye that spoke of limitless en durance, and his voice was of nn un usual quality, very neatly If not quite equal to a rare tlft of music or art She rose and walked over to the win dow and looked far down the beach Then she turned toward Malcom Kirk ami said with some emphasis: "What you have so suddenly told me, Mr. Kirk, Is, I need not say. a com plete surprise to me. I suppose you know that Mr. Ralelgb Is a lover of Dorothy?" "No more than I am." said Malcom Kirk quickly. "I suppose you know he Is an ol I friend of the family and that Mr. Gil bert favored ids suit?" 'That has nothing to do with my love for her," said Malcom Kirk nofily. Mrs. Penrose smiled slightly Then she frowned and looked somewhat anx iously nt hltu. "What do you expect to do'" she skotl somewhat vaguely. "1 am going to ask Dorothy Gilbert to be my wife." "If she loves you?" said Mrs. Pen rose, a little grimly. "Of course, If she loves me," replied Malcom Kirk simply. There whs silence In the room. A servant came in quietly and lighted two long candles on the mantel. The dusk and the candlelight blended to gether softly, and Malcom Kirk looked out of his side of the room at Dor othy's Muni with a somewhat pale faco, calm, however, autl fully self possessed. Even Francis Ralelgb, with nil his Inherited Instincts toward gen tlemanly habits, was uot crpial to Mal com Kirk during a suprwme crisis. tl.u DnniM.n ,u.,. ... .1... mU. ull.1i , CJUVK lit 111 inn IU .111' 11111- J dow again. Then she returned mid took a scat nearer Malcom Kirk. "Of course after what you have told I rue, II r. Kirk, It will be you seo the awkwardness of the situation It will be embarrassing for you and Mr. i Raleigh to meet." "WhyV" asked Malcom Kirk. "Well. It will, won't it'" alio asked In some slight irritation. "I don't think so. 1 have nothing to : bo embarrassed about." Mrs. Penrose was silent ajjaln. After 1 the lapse of a few momenta she said: "I have not asked you what your prospects are, Mr. Kirk. Pardon me If I seem abrupt, but you have set me the example. I am the nearest rela tive Dorothy has now since my broth er's death. She has been accustomed all her life to the comforts of wealth. To such comforts as these." Her glance swept the room carelessly, but with studied meaning. "May I ask what you can offer Dorothy in case" "In ease she becomes my wife?" said Malcom Kirk, completing the sentence. "Tes, In ense she becomes your wife." Ills face had grown a little paler, i and tho muscles around bis mouth had stiffened while Mrs. Penrose wan! speaking. Hut ho observed her calmly I enough. "I can offer her a home nnd com forts. I have a definite position, 1 do j not need to say that I ntn poor. My life In the Home Misslouary Held to which I am going will be full of hard ships. My wife would sharo them with mo. I ought perhaps to say" he spoke with the llrst hesitation ho bad j yet shown "that I bare a possible ianrm of Income In mv non. I innnel ! to earn as much as my salary by that means. I have once or twice doue that during my collego and seminary course." "So that the most you can offer my niece would be S1.200 or $1,500 -a year?" asked Mrs. Penrose, with tho nearest approach to sharpness. "By no means, madum!" said Mal com Kirk, nnd his face glowed with the eloquence of bis answer. "This Is not the most I can offer her. The most I Can offer la the love I bear her, and nil the money In the world without that would be very little to offer." "He's right about thnf?' Mrs. Ten rose spoke to herself softly. Malcotn Kirk did not hear what she said, but thou at that time be did not know her history nor the Inner emptiness of her unloved married life. There was silence ngaln In tho room. The two candles on the mantel were distinct and clear now as the dusk had slowly deepened. A step came up the path, and the door opened. Mrs. Penrose and Mal com Kirk both rose as Dorothy enter Herman Hcyrr. ed the reception nxitn alone. She came in With her head erect, and there was light enough for her aunt "Pen, tt'll otre ioiir life tr((?i you. Pi , loir you." and Malcom Kirk to see In her face the tokens of some recent excitement. "Whore is Francis?" Mrs. Penrose asked. "He Is not coming back tonight," re piled Dorothy softly, aud then for the first time she snw Malcom Kirk stand lug there by the fireplace. She took an eager step toward him ami then suddenly stopped, while her face glowed rosy red in the candle light. As for Malcom Kirk, be stood very erect nnd still, but out of his eyes shone the lover's look ns he faced the woman of ills heart's louging. He did not try to conceal It, and Dor othy knew as well as if he had spoken It aloud that be said, "1 love you, Dor othy Gilbert, and 1 cannot do my life work best without you." Mrs. Penrose saw that look also nnd respected It. The servant entered and announced thnt tea was ready, and Malcom Kirk found I'lmse! shaking h"' ds with Dor othy and saying some very common thing about being glad to meet her. A few minutes later be found himself nt the table with Dorothy ami her nimt. He ate nnd talked at llrst with a re pressed excitement that gradually be came a source of eloquent conversa tion. No one asked any more questions about Francis Ralelgb. It is certain that Mrs. Penrose nnd Malcom Kirk understood that he had pleaded his suit again with Dorothy and had again been unsuccessful. "She has given him his answer," said Malcom Kirk to himself, nnd there was the first positive hope In his heart that be bad dared to feel He had nev er appeared to such good advantage. Mrs. Penrose, experienced as she was In the ways of society and familiar with some of the most brilliant men nnd women, felt a positive charm In Kirk's voice and manner. His awk wardness for awhile was subordinate to his higher gifts. Mr. Penrose was In New York on business. Malcotn Kirk learned after ward some things In bis history and why John Gilbert had been allowed to meet his great financial losses without help from bis own sister, who to a large extent had been powerless to per suade her husband to eomo to her brother's nid. Put she was absorbed tonight In tho thought of Dorothy. He knew that a crisis In his life had come. After tea they went Into tho recep tion room again, Mrs. Penrose staid for half an hour ami then suddenly went out, and Dorothy and Malcom Kirk, were left alone. He was fully aware that the whole future of his life work would be shap ed by the events of the next few min utes, but he bad never felt more a Christian than now. There was a posi tive religious excitement of the high est, purest, noblest character In all the thought of his love for Dorothy. There always had been. He felt that It was no cheap or silly or shallow sentiment that moved him to think of her as of no other being In the world. There bad not been a night of bis life since be began to love her when he bad fail ed to speak her name In n prayer. He knew that bis Christian faith was sanctified and beautilled by this hu man love. He rose nud went over near her. ne had the miniature In his hand. When bo spoke, It was In great simplicity, but In great directness. "You know what I have come for. You kuow that I love you wholly. You kuow what my life will be. You know that I am poor. Dorothy, can you sharo such a life with me? Must I give this back, or may I keep It al ways ?" She was sitting with her face partly in shadow, and she slowly rose and turned and faced him. Like all girls who dream of lovers, she had her dreams, her Ideals, her Imaginings. She looked up at blm now, and the blood rushed lmoetuously through blm I i t'-'V V to Vi"" v mm as he saw the beginning ot her answer. She bad learned to love blm during bis absence abroad, during her recent sorrow, during the days that- followed her bereavement. It was not so sud den ns it might seem, for Dorothy bad learned when Italelgh spoke to her that afternoon that tho greatest rea son why she could uot love him was because she already loved Malcom Kirk. So she gave him then and there what he asked. All, Malcom Kirk, not this side of heaven will you know the power of that Hood that lifted your heart and all It contained when you lirst heard the woman you loved say as she lifted her face to yours: "Yes, I will share your lifo with you. Yes, I love you." Two hours later Malcom Kirk went out into the starry night and down on the sea beach, and With the freshness of the sea breeze blowing about his un covered head he thanked Cod for the precious, priceless gift of this wom an's heart. They had had much to say, ns true lovers always have. Al ways they had come back to the undy ing theme of their love for each other. "She loves me!" he kept saying to film self. And the waves and the night wind and the stars and the harbor lights and the pines near the beach all Joined in the mine song. He walked up and dowu the sands until the early morning, lie found his face wet once with tears. He ran across a long strip of beach exultant ami walked from one of his reveries to find himself Uie a deep iu water, for the tide was coming iu, and be knew nothing of tides, only of the oue that had risen iu bis own spirit. Put he drew back out of the water, laughing, and finally found his way to the Inn down by the pier where ho had breakfasted, Rut what be ate or whether he ate anything was probably unknown to blm; at least be was nnt able to give Dorothy satisfactory an swers when he came back to the house. Ills dream was a reality. She met him with the lock on ber face that was never to die out of It as long as he lived, and together they went to seo Mrs. Penrose. Dorothy's aunt was somewhat per plexed and. to tell the truth, a good deal astonished at the events of the last 24 hours. Dorothy had told her all, and there was no question In Mrs. Penrose's mind that the daughter of John Gilbert had made ber definite glad choice of this awkward, unhand some, poor young minister as her fu ture husband, she could not deny that the young man was a gentleman; nlso that hu had very superior ijuali tles of mind ami heart. But the fact remained that he bad DO prospects e cept his Home Missionary field and a somewhat uncertain Income from oc casional writings. When she pictured Dorothy In a sod house or a dugout or a shanty In that vague, wild, uncouth place called "out west," living in a parish of plain, un cultured people, such as she placidly took for granted lived on the prale' Mrs. Penrose felt as If D strange choice was the Ktrangfci ming she ever knew. "Aud yet she loves blm truly." she said to herself as Dorothy nud Mul com Kirk came In that morning, both Of them glorified by the greatest thing In nil the world. Dorothy had never looked so beautiful. Kirk had never felt so like a giant in possibility. Dorothy had anticipated remon strances and opposition from her uunt. She vtas surprised nnd gratified to find bow calmly Mrs. Penrose accepted the matter. Even wheu Malcom Kirk ex pressed his wish, gravely, but with firmness, that they might Ue married at once and go together to the new par ish to begin their life together Mis. Penrose offered no decided objection. "You are neither of you children." she finally said to Dorothy, with a sad smile. "You know your own minds by this time. 1 want you to be married here In this house, of course. It seems very sudden. Put I don't blame Mr. Kirk." "Of course uot." said Malcom Kirk decidedly as bo looked Dorothy In tho face. So It enme about that n month later the president of tho seminary faculty came down to Reverly oue morning, and Dorothy and Malcom Kirk were married In the presence of n very few of Dorothy's Hermon friends and two of Kirk's classmates who bad been settled over parishes near Huston. Kirk had made all his preparations for leaving. A few days beforu ho was married the president of the faculty had Surprised him with the announce ment that the sales of his pamphlet had been set aside by the publishers for the benefit of the seminary, but by unanimous consent the entire amount, something over 200, was now at Kirk's disposal. Malcom Kirk was not going to be a penniless bridegroom In any case. He bad already received since his return from abroad several checks for writing be had done dur ing bis last year In the seminary and while In London. So he was able to start toward the new home with much courage nnd tho knowledge that Dor othy would not miss too many of the old luxuries. Put Dorothy, once she had given her heart to Malcom Kirk and said to him that she would sharo bis life, entered upon a new and contented experience, such as In nil ber luxurious life she bad never before felt. It Is perfectly true that she loved blm without con dition. She put her hand In his with the trustful confidence of n child, and It Is no exaggeration to say that she would have been happy with him any wliere, rich or poor, famous or ob scure, successful or defeated. The train whirled them on Into the west Into the land of the prairies. Into the land or new things, of those vngue possibilities that always go with an untried community. And Dorothy every moment felt more nnd more con. tent Malcom Kirk satisfied ber Ideals. His noblo nature was continually fo vea nng to her new phases of his Chris tian purpose. He had enthusiasm, and ie was the only man who had ever bei ti able to kindle hers. The thought that they were to work together filled her with a heavenly delight. She re joiced in his strength, his manhood, his Inward life. As for Malcom Kirk, be was trans formed by nil that be now possessed. His poor Home Misslouary church be came to his thought a gigantic engine of power, with this glorious woman now his wife, who was to be by bis side henceforth. He trembled nt the exteut of such a love and consecrated It every moment to the infinite eternal life that belongs both to this world and to that which Is to come. They reached their journey's end at the close of a day and entered the town by night. There was quite a lit tle gathering nt the station, curious to see the new minister, nnd the superin tendent himself, who happened that week to be In thnt part of the state, was present to welcome them and In troduce them to a little handful of their parishioners. There was a parsonage, a furnished bouse of five rooms, close by the church. A supper was ready for them. A little company came iu afterward to greet them, and the people seemed to be truly glad to see them. The sight of Dorothy's beauty astonished them nil. She was n little amused at the ev ident look of disappointment witli Which every one lirst saw her husband. "When they know hltu, they will love him," she said to herself, with unfal tering trust in his victory over them. She came out on the porch with him lifter all tile members bad gone away, nnd together they tried to get some Idea of the place which was to be their home. The night was starry and the prairie vastnesi Impressive to tbem. They had never either of them lived outside of a hill country. "How large did you say the town was, Malcom?" "About 1,600 people, so the superin tendent says." "How many church members are there V" "Fifty-seven on the rolL About 40 living here." "Can't we go over and look Into the church? I urn curious to see it." said Dorothy She spoke In such a glad. hap;i;. t tost Malcom Kirk, as be it'ied the e with his arm about her. said, "You are happy, little woman, aren't yon'" "Can you ask?' she replied, ami be was satisfied. Ouu of the trustees had left a church key with him. They walked across the parsonage yard, tak ing a lamp from the house with them, and together they went In. It was a email room with seats for about KiO. A small classroom In the rear aud n choir railing in front of the organ, which was In a little recoss at one side of the platform. Malcom Klsk set the lamp down on the pulpit and, with bis wife, stood Dorothj 'stling up close to blm. ao you thlna we two can help to 'bring In the kingdom.' as you say. Into this town?" Malcom Kirk looked at thu room, at his pulpit where he was to preach and nt his wife, aud he fully understood wimt Dorothy meant "Do you menu that wo will see how much two people can do to make heav en on earth for 1,600 other people?" "Yes. and whether In our lifetime we can redeem whatever Is evil hero and give It back to Cod." "We will do It by his grace," replied Malcom Kirk gravely. It seemed to him almost ns If they two, there In their little church, bad made n solemn promise to redeem the souls of all the r ; f v" ' 1 "Do ynu think vvi fvv ran help to 'bring in the klnyilom,' us you uiyt" lost In Conrad. They passed out of the church with the samo feeling deep In their souls. Tholr hearts kindled at their opportunity. And in tho infinite plnces of the heavenly hosts, good aud evil, God nnd the devil noted the en trnnco of these two children of light Into that lawless, un-Chrlstlan town of 25 years ugo. and from whut at once began to be tkere It seemed within the reach of a tremendous reality that heaven nnd bell began to struggle for a supremacy marked by events which Will leave tholr rocord In tho book of life with startling clearness. For these two Christians bad entered the arena of tho groat human battle for victory over the world, and the two greatest forces in the universe now be gan to test their powers as they bad never yet been tested in that place. to bk continued nkxt wekk. 8PINAL HSKffi, fainting spells Are peculiar to women.
