Truft, her fn>cks iii thMr »Kodl*h good taste were snt*erlor. and the bungalow »he liud taken the fluent In town. There was craning of necks on Sun day when the remote neighbor attend ed service ut the beautiful atone church, whose ancient date was regis tered on the doorpost. The organ was the pride of all. It w«^ tin* gift of a now great musician who had come from I’lalnsvlllo in ids boyhood Rupert Rolf had rc|rVatedly prom ised to return to his old home town to give an exhibition of Ids ^sklll. The promise hud been unrealiBed. One daj’ printed i*lucnrd« annou/iccd that the musician was to arrive that week In I’lainsville; tiic following Sabbath he would play upon the gift organ in the beautiful church. The placard In the store window seemed to scream at tier with its red letters—Rupert Rolf! Rupert Rolf! /\nd next Sabbath he vta* to play at the church she attended. Well, might >be not atill attendV - ‘•Good-by,” said the little girl; “my mamma would not want me to stop, •dh. Mrs. Gay, your eyes are wet." Mrs. Gay laughed shakily. “Why, so they are,” she said. She wore a dark dress the day of Rupert Rolf’s church recltnl. She went early to take her seat In the gallery, md sat palpitating throughout the preliminary opening of the service. The minister explained that he was waiting, with little hope, the appear ance of Rupert Rolf. The musician had not arrived In the town ns ex- »>ected, detained |»y engagements, hut be hud sent a letter, assuring his pres ence if possible, at the morning serv ice. The allotted time of waiting passed. The minister looked, smiling, over his people. “Our usual organist is out of Town," he said. “I wonder If some me will not volunteer to play for us this morning? Please,'* he begged— and paused. There was no ri&pon.se; again the request was given. "This is an unusual circumstance,” the minister explained, troubled. "Will not some one kindly help in this muu-. nor?’’ Again no response, . '-’-L, Some one arose In the gallery—sig nified her willingness. The audience'could uni sec the vol unteer organist who went swiftly to take her place before the keys. They saw u dark clothed baj k, an envelop ing tdnqh hat. The niuMgnouVed forth, li was an offertoiV Tlm^vas a musician Indeed who played for tlfCitp; uni rained cars recognized the sympafHgtic skill, the beautiful rendering of a grtsR compo sition. She stood a moment, limling n>k way—the volunteer organist was the disapproved Mrs. Gay. Her face shone white and sweet beneath the drooping brim of the prim blftck bat—then sip* was seated beyond their sight. The •minister came down the pulpit stair hurriedly afterward that he might not mins her, to extend Ids thanks. Many lingered, looking back curiously. A nuui arose in the rear of the building - u distinguished-appearing blonde man. lie, too. pressed hurriedly for ward until he stood with the minister, and (lie one who had come to hi$ as slstame.
