IN HIS STEPS,! ^ '-C. CS* "What Would Jesus Do?" By Charles M. Sheldon. IC'opyriKntcu arm puunsui'ii m uu?>n tho Advaaca Publishing Co., of Chicago.] Saturday night at tho Rectangle witnessed some of the most remarkable scenes that Mr. Gray and his wifo had ever known The meetings had intensified with each night of Rachel's singing A stranger passing through tho Rectangle in tho daytimo might have heard a good deal about the meetings in one way and another It cannot bo said that up to that Saturday night thero was any appreciable lack of oaths and impurity and heavy drinking. The Rectangle would not have acknowledged that it was growing any better or that even the singing had softened its conversation or its outward manner It had too much local pride in being "tough." But. in spito of itself, lhex*e was a yieldin. to a power it hud never measured and did not know well enough to resist beforehand. Gray had recovered his voice, so that Saturday he wns able to speak. Tho fact that he was obliged touso his voice carefully made it necessary for tho people to be very quiet if they wanted to hear Gradually they hud come to understand that this man was talking these many weeks and using his time and strength to give them a knowledge of a Saviour, all out of a perfectly unselfish love for them Tonight the great ernwd w.is as nixiot as Henrv Maxwell's fl ?corors audience ever was. The fringe around the tent was deeper, and the ealuons were practically empty The Holy Spirit had como at last, and Gray knew that one of the great prayers of bis life was going to be answered. And Rachel?her singing was the best, most wonderful Virginia or Jasper Cliaso had ever known. They had come together again tonight with Dr. West, who had spent all his spare time that week in the Rectangle with somo charity eaaes Virginia was at the organ. Jasper sat on a front seat looking up at Rachel, and the Rectangle swayed as one man toward the platform n9 she sang "Just as I am, without one plea, Hut that lliy blood was siivd for me And that thou bidst tno come to thee? O Lamb of Cod. I come, 1 comet" Gray said hardly a word. lie stretch ed ont his hand with a gesture of invi tat ion. and down the two aisles of the tent broken, sinful creatures, men and women, stumbled toward the platform One woman out of the street was near the organ Virginia canght tho look of her face, and for the first time in the life of the rich girl the thought of what Jesus was to a sinfnl woman came with a sudden ness and power that were like nothing bnt a now birth Virginia left the or gan went to her. looked into her face and caught her hands in her own The other girl trembled, then fell 011 her knees, sobbing, with her head down upon the back of the bench in front of ber. still clinging to Virginia And Vir ginia. after a moment's hesitation, kneeled down by her. and the two beuds were bowed close together But when the people had crowded in a double row all about the platform, most of them kneeling and crying, a uiau in evening dress, different from the others, pushed through the scats and came und kneeled down by the side of the drunken man who had disturbed the meeting when Henry Maxwell spoke He kneeled within a few feet of "---l- I I lw. ....... ??.;H oln.nn., IVHt'Ut'l >* 1U91UU, ?

Then she went on "Just as I am thou wilt receive. Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, ik-raiisc thy promise I believe, O l-aiuli of Clod, i come, I come!" The voice was as the voico of divine longing. and the Rectangle, for the time being. was swept into tho harbor of redemptive grace. CHAPTER V 11 any insn ?e?M- me, let him follow me.

Now that ho ln;d spoken ho Telt that he had misjudged either Rachel or the opportunity He knew, or thought he did. that she had began to care for him. It was no secret between them that the heroino of Jasper's hrst novel had been his own ideal of Rachel, and the hero of the story was himself, ami they had loved each other in the book, and Rachel had not objected. No one else knew. The names and characters had been drawn with a subtle skill that revealed to Rachel, when she received a copy of the book from Jasper, the fact of his love for her. and she had not been offended That was nearly a year ago. Tonight Jasper Chase recalled the scone between them, with every inflection anil movement unerased from his memory He even recalled the fact that ho began to speak just at that point on the avenue where a few days before 1:0 had mot Rachel walking with Kollin Pago, lie hail wondered at the timo what Kollin was saying. "Rachel," Jasper had said, and it was the first time he had ever spoken her first name, "I never knew until tonight how much 1 love you Why should 1 try to ci nceal any longer what yon have seen mo look t You know 1 love you as mv life. I can no longer hide it from yon if 1 would." The first intimation ho had of a refusal was the trembling of Rachel's arm in his own. She had allowed him to speak and had neither turned h< r l'aee toward him nor away from him She had looked straight on. and her voice was sad. hut firm und quiet, when she spoke. "Why do you speak to mo now? 1 annot bear it?after what wo have wen tonight." "Why?what"? ho had stamuieri d and then was silent. Rachel withdrew her arm from his. but still walked near him Then ho erivd out with the anguish f one who begins to seo a great lo*s aeiug him where ho expected a great , ioy "Rachel! Do you not lovoinc? Is .( not niv love for you as sacred us any- | hint,' in all of life itself?" , She had walked on silent, for n few ( tops after that.

It is perhaps the most striking evidence of the tremendons ipiritual factor which had now entered :ho Rectangle that Rachel felt, even ivlien the great love of a strong man tad como very near her, that tlio spiritual manifestation moved her with an igitation far greater than anything Jasper had felt for her personally or she for hiui. Tlio people of Raymond awoke Sunlay morning to a growing knowledge if events which were beginning to revilntionizo many of the regular custom try habits of the town. Alexander Pow ?rs' action in the matter of the railroad frauds had created a sensation, not only ,n Raymond, hut throughout tlio country Edward Norman's daily changes if policy in tlio conduct of his paper sad startled the community and caused more comment than any recent political event Rachel \Yinflow's Hinging it the Rectangle meetings had made a stir in society and excited the wonder if all her friends Virginia Pago's conSuet, her presence every night with Rachel, her absence from tin- usual cir clo of hrr wealthy, fashionable no- t ]uaintances, had furnished a great deal } >f material for gossip and question In i iddition to the events which centered t ibont these persons who were so well j mown, there had been all through the i city. in very many homes and in busi- | tiess and social circles, strange happen- | ngs Nearly a hundred persons in ' Henry 3lax well's church had mad the ] pledge to do everything after asking. < What would Jesus doY" and tho remit had been, in many cases, unheard ( ?f actions.

Ilis pray< rs were unlike any the people had ever beard before They were often broken Even once or twice they had been aetu illy un^ramniatical in a phrase or two.
