If you don't mind, I'd like to bring him up to see you 'fore he goes," look ing up with a shy. pleading expression on hei baby face. "Of course," the strained lips forced themselves to say, "you must bring him bv all means." But after the girl's departure Miss Wbbur left the flowers and hurried away to the seclusion of her own room. Bring hltu to her, this young airl who had been but a baby when the) two had been so much to each other! What did It mean? And he tiad not even written to her or In any way an nounced his coming. A week later she sat on the porch with her eyes fixed on the last visible point of the street before it was shut out by the althea hedge. A firm, eager step came up the sidewalk from the opposite direction, but she did not no tice until her gate latcli clicked; then she turned Inquiringly. She knew him in an Instant, for the years had brought but a stronger step and nobler carriage, with perhaps a too liberal sprinkling of gray hair. She was conscious of a curious thrill of owe and tenderness as she rose from her chair, for even in that brief lustant she remembered that there was not a siu gle gray intruder among her own soft hair, and Ills she associated with the work which had conquered obstacles and adversity. "Alfred!" she *nid as she went for ward with extended hands "Elizabeth!"' "Come up on the veranda, Alfred," she said, with her eyes full of frank welcome. "I want to hear ull about it. Of course I know In a fragmentary way, but it will seem new and mora real from your lips." And he told her. sitting in his old place behind the honeysuckle, with the swaying sprays sending alternate lines of sunshine and shade ncros~ liis face in the same old way. And she listened with eyes full, lips half parted and with her head nodding commendation : or sympathy from time to time It was a story of heroism and triumph, told in a straightforward, matter of fact way, .without egotism or self depreciation, knowing it was her right to have it ell i tire even as he had lived it. "But it is good t<> lie home again. Elizabeth," he concluded, with a satis fled sigh, as he leaned back in liis chair and surveyed the veranda and the flower garden beyond " I lie mem j ory of these flowers and tin it owner has been with me through all the tweu ity years I have been away Many times have I been on the point of giv lng up and returning to them, and, in deed," a trace of reserve coming into his voice, "1 might have done so but for what you said and the look )ou (rave me when we last stood together ; among your honeysuckles. 1 knew 1 could only return to the sentence of n deserter who had foist ken his colors." She was looking nt him In a wonder ing, startled way, with the color com Jng softly into her face. "But you never wrote, Alfred." "Yes, twice, one of the letters was • lost, however, for I heard later of the ship's going down In mldocean." "I never received it." Then, "But j you have been In the place a week, Alfred, and onlj Just called." He looked puzzled. "1 came in on the train an hour ago, Elizabeth, and would have been here before but for ™ complication over a telegram. It seeru9 there Is another man of the saui' dame In town " "But Susie?"

Her heart was too full for speech, almost for thought. The dog rubbed against her, and an oriole lifted up his voice inn sudden ecstasy of song She stroked the one tremulously and looked nt the other with the tenderness of the great Joy that had come to her Then the pate clicked, and she roused herself with an effort A voting man whom she did not know stood before her, and with him was Susie.

"You'r" "Certainly 1 may not appear very clerical in 111 is toggery," glancing at his high boots, corduroy trousers and blue flannel shirt, "but I will engage to preach you as orthodox, a sermon as any regularly ordained clergyman in our church." I smiled The man was surely Jok ing. "We'll be there In an hour." he con tinned Meanwhile I must be making my preparations You see, I was out tisldiig wheu I received the bishop's or der, and, not having time togo home and get <>n my pri"stly garments.

I stared at the fellow and wait ed for further development. "I'll trouble you to take off your clothes," he sa id 1 laughed, but there was something so serious in his n. ; inicr that my laugh was rather forced. "< oine." he went on "I'm waiting." I laughed again. I utting his hand to his hip, he iiri• w a si\ shooter and placed tin- mu/.zle disgustingly near my nose It was now evident that there was some desperado busiiii -sin the wind, and, realizing my defenseless liess. I took off illV coat, my vest, my trousers and turned them over When I handed liliu the .old cross which I always wore suspended from in) neck he hesitated a moment, as though the sacrilege was a trifle too much for him, then put it on When lit- donned my low crowned, broad brimmed clerical hat he looked far more of a clergyman than 1 even when appropriately dress ed. "I suppo •• you want my purse," I said. "Vott will find it in my trousers pocket." "Your purse'; ' he replied. "Do you suppose that 1. a clergyman, would rob you 7" And. taking out the purse after slain ir: at is contents, he tossed it to me. "May I put on your clothes'?" I asked. "I must wear something." i "Certainly." 1 slipped on liis garments and must confess that 1 looked more like a man | of the wild west than he had looked in the same apparel. In less than half an hour we pulbd up at the hotel, and the coach <! ■ •. was opened b) the landlord. My cm panion stepped out and shut the door 1 heard him tell the landlord thitt there was a lunatic Inside the coach and lie had better be careful. He then in I formed him that he was the ltev.

'1 hen for the lirst time the seriousness of the situation came upon me. I had never been to Helena and did not know a soul In the town. The landlord held the coach door till men were summoned, who took me Into the tavern and upstairs to a room, or, i rather, a large closet without a win | dow, where I wits locked in. There was a cot in the room, and soon after j my incarceration the door was opened 1 and my supper handed iu. There w is ! nothing for nie to do but accept 11. • j situation, so 1 ate the supper, then i thre»v myself on the bed and fell j asleep. It was the next afternoon aboir o'clock that 1 heard a number of foe • steps on the stairs, and my door v. a-, i suddenly unlocked and thrown open There stood three well dressed men. "Do you know anything about Hu man who came in the coach with you ; yesterday 7" asked one of them. "Yes, he forced nie to give him my : clothes, and when we arrived told the i landlord I was a lunatic." | "And you are"— i "The ltev. Charles Dinglev." "Gentlemen, we have been sold."
