Xp.irly three years after Ualconi Kirk and iiis wlfg hud made their promise in the little Uonie Missionary church of Courad, one evening lu Sep tember, a stranger stepped out of the I east bound Chicago express upon the platform at Conrad and inquired for the residence of the Hcv. Malcom Kirk. "li.. lives up by the church," said tho man to whom tin.' question was put. "Come out to tho end of the platform and I'll show you." The stranger followed, and the man pointed up tin' street where the tower of the Utile church Could lie Keen. "You'll Hud him in the parsonage close by ut the right of the .church." The stranger thanked him and start ed down the Dlntforui steps, when the i man called after him : "They're having trouble at the min ister's house. 1 thought if you didn't know 1 niiL'lit ti tell you. They havo ' a very sick baby there." The strauger paused and looked uu i certainly at the man. "I won't go there, then, If I ought not.

When Malcom Kirk turned acd came toward the door where his wife and Wllsou were staud i,l2g, his classmate saw on his face a look of Buffering which the strong, homely, marked features emphasised.

Wilson cam", nnd his presence and silent sympathy were a blessing to Malcom and Dorothy. But when, later lu the day, the baby had been laid In the little coffin aud placed In the center of tho room with a bunch of white geraniums on Its breast brought In by the members of Dorothy's primary Sunday school class Dorothy laid her head down on the table beside the casket, and her grief was very, very great. Malcom stood beside her, looking hungrily at bis baby's face, nnd the people lu the lit tle room quietly weut out and left them nlone for awhile. Next day Wilson read the funeral service aud prayed at the house, and after tho simple service a little com pany went with Malcom and Dorothy to the cemetery Just on the edge of tho town, and the baby was buried there, aud these children of tho All Father j went back to the little parsonage. I It was n great blesslug lo them at I this time that Wilson was with tliem. He, seeing how they cluug to his pres ence, staid over Sunday and preached for Malcom. It was during this stay that be learned something of what Malcom and Dorothy had been doing. A short extract from a letter written by him to his wife In the east will show us something of the first three years of Malcom Kirk and his wife's attempt to make good their pledge to help redeem the lives of the ueople of Conrad: ''I cauuot tell you what a profound sense of sympathy 1 havo felt for my old classmate and his wife during tbelr great trouble, but 1 am simply aston ished to find how great a work tbey have dono lu the three years they have been bere. This Is a place of about C.000 people. It Is bavins a boom ct the present time. "The ugltation over the saloon Is In creasing, and I am told by Kirk and others that things are Hearing a crisis aud in all likelihood the next legisla ture will pnss a prohibitory amend ment. The liquor men laugh at this probability and scout the Idea that such a law can ever be passed. There are ten saloons here In Conrad and all ap parently flourishing. Among other things that the whisky element baa at tempted during Kirk's stay here baa been to antagonize the business men In bis church against Kirk with some success. Kirk's wife lies been a great help lo him. I thiuk I never knew more happy union of workers In all my life. She has been the organist and the leader iu Sunday school work, aud her social Influence In the town Is very strong. The church membership has grown from forty odd to over a hun dred, and Kirk has managed to gain a hold ou u large group of young men. 1 think largely ou account of their at1 miration for his unusual muscular de velopment. 1 think It is probably true from what I feel and hear that already the Influence: of Kirk and his wife and their little church iu this wild western town is the strongest Influence that ever entered the place. They f.re very much broken up by the loss of their baby. It has been a tremendous dis appointment to them. 1 am very anx ious for them, as I think of what the result may be on their future work. The pay of a Home Missionary out here is Small, and for some reason Kirk 1ms not been aide to make much with his writing. I cannot help asking myself bow the loss of their baby will affect their whole work here. Mrs. Kirk seems to be stunned by tho blow. I shall leave here Monday, and my (Treat est regret is that 1 cannot be of more help to my old classmate. He In at a crisis In his career, and everything de pends on the way be accepts this death of his baby." Tills is only a fragment of Wilson's letter, but the number of times he re ferred to the death. of the baby as marking a crisis In the lives of Malcom aud Dorothy revealed the depth of the Impression made upon his mind by the manner in which they were affected by their loss. lie went away on the morning train, and Malcom, who had gone to the sta tion to see him off, came slowly back to the parsonage and went into the lit tle room next the kitchen which be had fitted up for a study. Dorothy was at work In the kitchen, and Malcom sat down nt his study ta ble and looked out of the window across the prairie, it was unfortunate that from that window he could see the little cemetery In the distance, lie finally rose and drew the curtain clear down nnd went back to his desk. He T7ir denth of the firstborn. took up his pen and dipped It In the Ink nnd then sat there, thinking, think ing, of his baby. He recalled every little look.

Was It true, this gospel of comfort he had bevu preaching these three years? Why, Ihen, was lie not Comforted? The baby bud died Thurs day night. Three days now, and yet the world expected blm to go on with his work, write sermons, make calls, attend lo the thousand little details that must be remembered or some one would notice and begin to complain. How could be take up the burden of life nnd carry It? How could he regain his old enthu siasm or help Dorothy? Were they not both smitten to the dust by this heart loss? He found himself saying all this and even half fearfully asking himself If Dorothy hud not made u mistake to share her life with blm. What could be offer her? What career was possible for them uow lu this lit tle place? The Ink had dried on his pen. and he eat there holding It, unable to write a word. Dorothy had gone out to the well, and when he missed her step lu the kitchen and glanced out of the window to Bee her she was sitting on a bench he had built under the cotton wood In the yard, the only tree on the ploce.

The woman's face lighted up faintly.
