CHAPTER XI.
A IIOltEMT ik DOUBT.
Mnlcom read the four li tiers tlironsrh
cue uftor (be other without a word of
comment Only Dorothy, watching
him, noted the expression! n i''s face.
When he finished the letter from the
Boston magaslne, be looked up.
"Well-" said Dorothy slowly, as If
Malcom had asked a questlnn.
it s a great offer," said Malcom. He
was evidently very much moved by It.
And be rose and walked up and down.
Finally be stopped near the door.
"I shall have to go out doors ami
walk oir the ezcltemi ut," be said, look
Ing at Dorothy, with a faint fiiiIU'. She
was familiar with that babit Malcom
had often done that when tired of the
cramped quartern of his little study in
the parsonage.
lie walked to the table, took up his
bat and went to the door, lie opened.
it and then turned bneb to Dorathv.
who snt with bor elbow on the table
and her chin In her band thinking.
"Will you ko with me, dear?" Mal
com asked quietly.
She rose without a word and, put
ting' on her bat and cloak, went out
With him. They walked out of the
yard, and then, after a moment of hesi
tation, they turned and went down the
narrow hoard sidewalk toward the
main street of the town.
It was almost 11 o'clock. Nearly
all the stores were closed, but every
saloon was wide open. As they went
hy one of the largest on the first busi
ness comer two or three men near the
door recognized Kirk nnd touched
their hats, saying very respectfully as
they did so, "G I evenlmr. Mr. Kirk."
'Good evening, gentlemen." renlied
Malcom, touching his hat. lie passed
on with Dorothy, but with all the In
ner conflict going on she had time to
I think of the little Incident and say to
herself proudly, "Even the loafers and
drinkers respect my husband."
And It was true, because they knew
In their hearts that Malcom Kirk lov-
eu mem, wretched, useless creatures
i lis many of them were, down nt the
J very bottom of the human scale, down :
j where nothing but love could reach i
I them.
As they went past one of the dance
I houses they could hear the Jingle of
spurs on boots, the wild laughter of
the women and the clink of glasses nt
the bar.
Dorothy shuddered and drew up clos
er to Malcom. To both of them It is
probable that there was borne In upon
I them the lost abandoned life that al
, wnys goes with the liquor trade, the
I desperate, lawless character of young
men nnd women who represented so
' large n part of the social life of the
! town. What a relief it would be to
: get away from it all, back to the cul
ture nnd refinement of books and com
panionable people and the life of free
dom from moral struggle for the life
i of others that awaited them in that
! New England home that might be
theirs for the taking!
i They had walked through the street
nnd were out on the prairie road before
either of them said a word.
Then Malcom said, while he pressed
I Dorothy's arm close lo his own:
"What do you think 1 hail better do?"
She was not prepared to have him
! usk a question, and she wns not ready
, with an answer.
j "What would you do in my place?"
I he nsked after waiting for her to an
swer his first question.
"Don't ask me, Malcom," cried Doro
thy almost tearfully.
lie bent his head and In the starlight
saw her face moved with unusual ex
citement. "It Is true," he began to talk to him
self, "it Is true, ns be says, 'the press Is
ns powerful ns the pulpit In
these
days.' i could certainly do ns much
good that way as any. 1 feel as If 1
could use my pen for the good of hu
manity." "Yes. yes!" Dorothy cried engerly.
She spoke as If Malcotn'f words had
been a grent relief to her. Then she
went on almost passionately:
"What can you do here, Mnlcom?
You can slave yourself to denth out
here with this little church nnd never
accomplish much. You cannot do the
church work nnd the writing too. Y'ou
will break down under It. How can
you ever build again, with the hard
times and so many families moving
away and winter coming on? And
your salary, little ns It Is, so cruelly de
layed, It Is a humiliation to keep on
this narrow, pinched life, with no com
panionship to speak of, no money to
buy new books, with n dead lift on a
poor struggling church that will wear
your life out before you have reached
your prime. 1 don't mind for myself,
Malcom, you know. It was 'for bet
ter, for worse, for richer, for poorer,'
I but It seems to me your life will be
slnmlv thrown nwnv If von remain nut

nunc to you again prouauiy. it i were

She stopped, and Malcom eagerly
waited for the rest
"If I were you," Dorothy went on
otrougly, "I would answer the letter nt
once and accept tbe offer. I want ta
see you succeed In life. I want ts
have the world know your strength as
Ido,"
i Ha made no reply, and tbey walked
on a little farther. Then Malcom
spoke as If again reasoning with blm.

self:
"I certainly could do as much good
thnt way as any."
lie wns silent again. They had
reached a place where the road branch
ed off to "The Forks." They turned
and went back toward the town. When
they reached the first houses, they took
the street which led past the ruins of
the church nnd parsonage. They seem
ed to do this without saying to each
other thnt they would. Their walk
back had been in silence.
When they reached the corner where
the church anil parsonage had stood,
they stopped and looked at the ruins.
These were mournful, as such ruins
always are. The foundation line of'
the church building looked pitifully
small to Mnlcom as he thought of the'
little congregations thai had so often
met there for worship or the prayer I
service. Anil still he could not even j
there, as he v iewed what seemed like
n failure In life, he could not shut out
Of his silit the picture of Dorothy and
himself as they had gone Into the'
cburcb that first night of their ar
rival In Conrad three years before and
bad there made together their solemn 1
promise to redeem the lost of Conrad.
Were they about to break that prom-!
Ise because difficulties had come into:
the struggle? Was h possible that
they were going to declare themselves I
beaten In the attempt to overcome? ;
Weie they about to choose the easy,
comfortable physical life and shun the
agony of the spiritual conflict with
evil forces? Were they about to run
away from duty ns cowards? Was It j
duty to remain In Conrad? How about
bis duty to the temperance conflict?
Wert they about to iiraik that promtuct
If he had any real strength that way,
ought be to abandon tbe cause nt this
critical time? But how could Dorothy
live this life of privation? How could
he go on w ith his meager salary, hu
miliated by being in debt to the trades
people and dependent for his living on
the spasmodic giving of the churches
that "Indorsed" home missions, to be
sure, but left the Home Missionary of
ten unpaid or the recipient of boxes
which sometimes were so clearly In
tbe nature of charity that no self re
specting man could take and use the
contents?
All this nin more crowded Into Mal
coin's mind ns he stood there that night
by the ruins of his church and home.
The sntne thoughts were nlso In the
mind of Dorothy, and with It all It
seemed, too. as If to both of them enme
a half suppressed doubt as to the
course Malcom wus on the point of
taking.
"Dou't you feel that we have tried
our best to keep that promise we made
that night in the church?" Dorothy
nsked, ns she nervously pushed her
foot against one of the stoues at the
corner of the foundation.
Malcom did not answer nt first Then
he snid evasively, ns If he had been
thinking of something else, "I'm sure 1
can do as much with my pen as I can
In n church."
Dorothy did not look up or speak for
some time. Then she said with rather
eager emphasis:
"Why not write at once to tbe editor
and tell him that you will accept his
offer?"
"I will." said Malcom in a low tone.
They stood a little while longer by
the ruins, and then turned away and
went home. Somewhere In tbe great
spaces of the Infinite to Malcom and
Dorothy It almost seemed as If a sigh
from an angel of light breathed over
the sleeping town that lny on the black
ened surface of the prairie. What they
felt was the Inner uneasiness of spirit
that tho promise tbey bad made three
years before bad been. If not broken,
at least not lived out as It might have
been. In Malcom's heart as he said to
Dorothy, "I will," there was a distinct
uncertainty of feeling. There was a
lack of spontaneous Joy at his action
which he knew well enough meant that
somewhere he had not been true to tha
best that was In blm.
Nevertheless In the morning he wrote
tbe letter In answer to tbe editor, ac
cepting tbe position and asking him to
give blm time to sever his relations
with the cburcb, etc. . .. j
He took the letter nnd went out early
after breakfast to mail It He would
baud In his resigns Hon at tbe weekday
church meeting and v, rite to the super
Ihteadeni later in the day.
He was thinking it all over as be
neared the main stret. when a farm '
wagon drove up noisily ami stopped
near linn
"Oh. Mr. Kirk, will you come right
at io The Forks' with me? Pbll is In
terrible way ami has beeu calling for ,
you all night:"
It was Mrs Rarton, nnd her thin.
f.'ioe looked down at Mnlcom as
she sat there looking nt him anxiously
Into Malcom Kirk's heart there came
a dlstim i Knock, almost as if be had
been detected In doing a selfish thing.
Here again wns this appeal for help
coming at a time when it seemed to
him as if the burden be was carrying
was too great f"r blm.
He looked up nt Mrs. Barton.
"Why. certainly. I'll go right out
With you." he said, every Instinct of
belpfulnes In him rising and going out
toward the cry for help.
Just then Carver came walking by.
Kirk had the letter he was going to
post in bis band.
"Sny, Carver, will you mall this let
ter for me as you go by the office?"
Malcom asked, and Carver eagerly
took the letter, more than willing to do
Mr. Kirk a favor.
Malcom at once gut up into the wag
on with Mrs. Hnrl..n. and they drov
out of town rapidly. Carver stood
watching them a moment, then he
turued i in I . :;i on down the street
At the first -.-.loon be hesitated, but
finally went In. Before noon be had
gone Into tl or four different saloons
that lay between blm and the DOStof
lice, and the letter remained In his
pocket forgotten.
On their way to "The Forks" Mai
com learned from Mis. Barton that
while Philip was on his back, unable
to least Ins bed, one of tbe farmer
boys living on the nexi ranch had
brought out several bottles of wbiskv
UK smuggled them into the bouse
rhe result w as thai young Barton was
having delirium tremens while in tin
terrible condition caused by bis de
baud) al tlie time of the great tile
His mother had spent a fearful night
with him, and at last, desperate ami
heartbroken, dry eyed, but weepin
ner moon -away wituin, sue nail come
Into town for Kirk.
"It Is all of the devil, this drink bus!
ness:" groaned Malcom as be went in
to the house and into the room where
Phil Barton lay.
Never in all his life had Malcom
Kirk seen such a sight Barton knew
blm as lie came in. nnd he spoke his
name. Tie u he begun to curse In tin
most awmi manlier. , 1 lie lower part
of his body was paralyzed, but hi:
arms moved Incessantly, and bis beat
rolled baek and forth on the bed
while he called on all bell to blast ev
ery living creature, on earth.
Malcom put MA Barton out of tin
room and shut the door. Then for
three hours he spent the most trying
period he had ever known by the side
of a .suffering and sinful human being.
At the end of thut time Barton lay
quiet nnd Malcom wns weak nnd
trembling, wet with perspiration and
unnerved as If he had been faclns
some great peril. The doctor came Just
ns Mnlcom went to tell Mrs. Barton
that Philip was sleeping. She had not
been able to find any physician when
she had gone In that morning nnd hnd
left word for one to come out
"What Is going to become of my
boy, Mr. Kirk?" Mrs. Barton nsked ns
he was getting Into tbe doctor's buggy
to go back with blm.
Mnlcom had not the heart to say
nnything at first. In his soul n pro
found horror and a divine indignation
against the saloon greater than be had
ever known had risen.
At Insl be said: "Mrs. Hnrton, I hope
to live to see the day when your boy
will not be near this temptation. The
saloon and till It represents Is an ene
my of mankind. We will not cease to
work and pray and suffer until the
curse of It is removed from our life as
a state." Tor the time he had forgot
teu he was going away.
"Promise me, Mr. Kirk, that you will
do what you can for PbIL There's no
one living he thinks so much of. You
saved his life. Snve his soul too. Don't
give him i: will you. Mr. Kirk?"
Malcom i. in bled. How could he tell
this wretched, heartbroken woman, liv
ing In that desolate, ruined home, that
he had already made his plan to leave
Conrad. She clung to blm as the lar
gest and only hope for her boy that
she knew. What could he say to her?
The doctor, who had beeu listening
sympathetically, but In silence, had
gathered up bis reins, aud the horses
Impatiently made n movement to start
and still Mnlcom Kirk snld nothing.
"I know you won't give film up, Mr.
Kirk. If you don't snve blm, no oue
else will. Don't you thluk he's worth
saving?"
She stood by the buggy nnd laid her
thin, worn hand on Malcom's arm. As
be looked at It he thought of some old
verses he had read while In the semi
nary about u mother's hands:
Not ill the ladles In all the lands,
With riches snd titles and fame.
Could beast of auch beautiful, shapely hands
As one thai 1 could name.
Her hands were without a Jeweled ring,
And tho nng-crs were thin snd old.
But a baby's tinners would ruund them cling,
Uors precious than aolid gold.
Sty mother has pawed this earth swsy.
To the land where death cannot be.
But I'll never forget her as she lay,
Handi clasped in prayer lor me.
They were old verses that some one
had translated hastily from a German
text, but Malcom remembered them,
and they came to blm vividly Just now.
"Of course I believe be Is worth sav
ing," said Malcom.
Mrs. Barton looked up to him again
appeallngly.
"Yon won't give him up, will your
"No; I veou't give blm up," replied
Malcom. but be hardly seemed to real-
hte what tbe words uieaut. Was he not
planning to go away from all this bur
den bearing? Had In- not already writ

he would be free to use bis pen without

DOG MAIL CARRIER.
The Sagacious Animal Walts for Ibe
Train and Takes Charge of
HatlTsaar,
Out in Kansas, where so mat v
things are different, there is a big St.
Bernard mnil carrier. He lives in one
of the little "cross roaik" towns,
where the only store, which is nlsc
t!ir post office, is .10 rods from the
railroad track. The train, says the
Tctroit Preo Press, always goes whii
sing by ut a good rate of speed, whist
ling as it approaches. Nep hears the
whistle and hurries to the Crossing
and waits for the coming of the mail.
The mail clerk kicks the leather bag
out of the door and it falls somewhere
in the vicinity of the rondi .Nep al
once goes to the sack, and carefully
'aklng it by the middle, so that
neither end will drag on the ground,
w-nlks sedately to the store, where
he deposits his burden In a safe place.
lie does this every day. in spite of
the weather, and the whole country
know and is proud of the dog mail
carrier.
Xep is four years old, is two feet
seven lnchea in height, and weighs 250
pounds. He has no difficulty In carry
irg the sack, though the mail is often
very heavy with the weekly papers
from tho county seat, for his teeth
are strong and he has carried (fftf ttfl'Tj
pounds m a test of his strength.
