"Shunming" had never mm a lad with ftaymond society. And tUb was perhaps the first time that the two had noma together in this war. The girls felt that, instead of seeing the Beet angle, they were objects of cariosity. They were frightened and die"Let's go back. I've seen enough," aald the girl who was sitting with Virginia. They ware at that moment jnst opposite a notorious saloon and gambling hemes. The street was narrow and the sidewalk crowded. Suddenly out of the door of the saloon a young woman reeled. She was singing in a broken, drunken sob that seemed to indicate that she partly realised her awful condition, "Just as I am, without one plea," and as the carriage rolled past she leered at it, raising her face so that Virginia saw it rery close to her own. It was the faoe of the girl who had kneeled sobbing that night, with Virginia kneeling beside her and praying for her. "Stop!** cried Virginia, motioning to the driver, who was looking around. The carriage stopped, and in a moment ~| ?u*o thot tho ! FR10fflSJiSf& .here lo?kr ? th?

' Tb 0 other girls seemed speechilt praoti^v* f n j cannot go back with you,'' said Virginia. The driver starts the horses elowly. One of the girls loaned a little out of the carriage. "Can't we?lliat is?do yon want on* helpf Conldn't we"?? "No, nol" e*claimed Virginia. "Yon cannot b* of any nse to me." The carriage moved on, and Virginia was alone with Jboi charge. She looked np and around. Man; faces in the crowd wore sympathetic. They were nut all cruel or brutal. Tbt IToly Spirit hf.d softened a good deal < ! the Rectangle. "Whore does sho livo?" aaked Vir ginia. No one answered. It occurred to Vir ginip afterward, when 6he had time t: think it over, that the Rectangle shov ? c ,* delicacy In ltd silenco that wo v< have done credit to ilio boulevard. For the fi'st time it flashed Mpon he that the iiornortal being who was Ih.oi like wreckage nppn the shore of tlii earthly hell called the saloon bad n place that conld be called home. Tha girl suddenly wrenched her an from Virginia's grasp. In doing it eh .nearly threw Virginia down. "You shall not touch mo! Leave nif Let n?C go to hell I That 's where I b? long! TIk' devil is waiting for nio! 8< him!" she pxclaimtU hoarsely. 81 turned and j-elrttwd with a shaking fi> ?mr at the saloon hamper.

She knew the evangelist boox ?d aomewhore near that tent. number of voicea gave fre? the < auction. * "Come, Loreen. 1 want yon to Ut* mtt 0 (T- * . f4 - ; i i i t.~. - lioeping nor bold or ?be swaying, trebling creature, who still mooned and cobbed and now clung to Virginia as before she had repulsed her 80 the two moved on through the Rectangle toward the evangelist s lodging place. The sight seemed to impress the Rectangle seriously. It never took itself seriously when it was drunk, but this was different The fact that one of the most beautifully dressed girls in Raymond was taking care of one of the Rectangls's most notorious characters, who reeled along under the influence of liquor, was a fact astonishing enough to throw more or less dignity and importance about Loreen herself. The vent of Loreen stumbling through the irnttur AnaA drank- altvava made the Rectangle laugh and jest, bat Loreen staggering along with a young lady from the aociotv circles ud town supporting her was onothcx thing. The Rectangle viewed it with soberness and more or less wondering admiration. When they reached Mr. Qray's boarding place, the woman who answered Virginia's knock said that both Mr. and Mrs. Gray were oat somewhero and would not bo back until 6 o'clock. Virginia had not planned anything further than a possible appeal to the Grays either to take charge of Loreen for awhile or find some safe place for her until she was sobor again. She stood oow at the lodging after the woman had spoken, and she was really at a loss to know what to do. Loreen sank down stupidly on the steps and buried hor face in her arms. Virginia eyed the miserable figure with a feeling that she was fearful would grow into disgust. Finally a thought possessed Virginia that she could not resist. What was to hinder Loreen from going home with her? Why Bhould not this homeless, wretched creature, reeking with tho fames of liquor, be cared for in Virginia's own home, instead of being consigned to strangers in some hospital WoUtJ, JS? ?v sv,?r?s=<i ?i?i. ?>. ld thot tho old Dlmi l UK a lg lin. is ilrittln ontu a ice I vemc?-a. ^v . jwa- ^ ^y"sucb places 1 knew very UtJK ?Bct pthcr. of refogo- ^ ? cos in ?cro aoubtfnl if any of Raymond, but it ^ poTSOn like them would ha"\ condition.

Loreen staggered to her feet and, to i Virginia' a relief, mado no trouble. She i had expected resistance or a BtT1bborn I refusal to move. When they reached ; the corner and took the car, it wai nearly full of people going up town Virginia was painfully conscious of th stare that greeted her and her compan ion as they entered, but her though ? was directed more and more to then] . I rT>roachipg scene with her grandmothe. . i :A^0iul(f .a- Mme. Page say when sj I w Loreen T J Loreen was nearly sofcer now ;in7 .but si was lapsing into a stato of stupor. Virginia was obliged to hold fast to her arm. Several times she lurched heavily against Virginia, and as the two went up the avenue a curious crowd of people turned and gazed at them. When she mounted the steps of the handsome house, Virginia breathed a sigh of relief, even in tho face of the interview with her grandmother, and when the door shut and she was in the wide hall with her homeless outcast she felt equal to auything that might now com?. Mine. Page was in tho library. Hearing Virginia come in, she came into the hall. Virginia stood there supporting Loreen, wl)Q ptared stupidly at tho rich magnificence of the furnishings around ber. "Grandmother"?Virginia spoke v.rtc<tn*inn nnd verv clearly? TV X buuu v uvw?VM*.v?. v "I have brought one of my friend3 from the Rectangle. She is in trouble and haa no home. I am going to cafe for her a little while." Mmo. Page glanced from her granddanghter to Loroen in astonishment "Did you say she was one of your friends?" she asked in a cold, sneering voice that hurt Virginia more than anything she bad yet felt "Yes; I said so."* Virginia's face flushed, but sho seemed to reca)l the verse that Mr. Gray had used for one of bis recent sermons, "A friend of publicans and aippers.'' Surely Jesus would do this that sho was doing. "Do you know what this girl is?'' i asked Mmo. Pago in an angry whisper, f i stepping near Virginia, j "I know very well. She is an out | cast. Yon need not tell me, grand mother. I know it even botter than yoi . ' do. Sho is drunk at this minute. Bn ) | sho is also a child of God. I have see; 1 ' her on her knees repentant, and I hav I j seen hell reach out its horrible finger | after her again, and, by the graco c r | Christ, I feel that tbo least I can do i ^ 1 to rescue her from such peril.

Page f ^0 ciety represented more than the chur . or any other institution. It was a po ey to be feared and obeyed. The loss he its gopd will was a loss more to .dreaded than anything, except the 1< n of wealth itself. ho Abe stood erqct and ptor^ and ct fronted Virginia, fully ronsod and < termined. Virginia placed her a ji- about Loreen and calmly looted 1 grandmother in the fade. go MYou shall not do this, Virgin 422 i You oan sand her to tb* asylum .J . neipxeae women.

' ; 'I heuyou can answer, for the consequences. I do not stay in the same house with a miserable"^- Mme. Page lost her self control... Virginia stopped hqr before she could speak the next word. * "Gratfdmother, this house is mine. It is your home with me aa long as yon choose to remain, but in this matter I shall act as I fully believe Jesus would in my placo. I am willing to bear all that society may say or da Society is not my God. By tbo sido of this poor, lost soul I do not 4:ount the verdict of society as or any value." "I shall not remain here, then," said Mme. Page. 8he turned suddenly and walked to the end of the h&lL She then came back and said, with an emphasis that revealed her intense excitement and passion: "You can always remember that you have driven your grandmother out of your honse in favor of a drunken woman. " Then, without waiting for Virginia to reply, she turned again and went up stairs. Virginia called for a servant and soon had Loreen cared for. She was fast lapsing into a wretched condition. During the brief scene in tho hjlll she had clung to Virginia so hard that Virginia's arm was soro from tho clutch of tho girl's fingers. ^ Virginia did not know \yjbtethcr her grandmother would leave the' house or not 8ho had abundant means of her own, was perfectly well and vigorous and cupablo of caring for hogtolf.

Oh, Virginia, to think that we have all these years enjoyed onr beautiful homo and all these luxuries selfishly, forgetful of the multitude liko this woman I Surely Jesns in our places wonld do what vpu have done." Ana so Rollip pomforte4 Virginia and counseled with her that evening, and of all tho wonderfnl changes that Virginia was henceforth to know on account of her great pledge nothing affected lier so powerfully as the thought pf Rollin's chango in life. Truly, this man in Christ was a new creature. Old things were passed away.

I ' have loet hundreds of subecribera by that action, although I have mndo satisfactory arrangements with many of the old snscribers by giving- even more in the extra Saturday edition than they formerly had in the Sunday issue. My greatest loss has come from a falling off in advertisements and from the attitude I have felt obliged to take on political questions. This last action has really cost me more than any other. The bulk of my subscribers are intensely partisan. I may as well tell yon all frankly that if I continue to parsne the plan which I honestly believe Jesus wonld in the mattor of political issues and their treatment from a nonpartisan and moral standpoint The News will not be able to pay its operating expenses unless one factor in Raymond can be depended on." He pan set! a moment, and the room was very quiet. Virginia seemed specially interested. Her face glowed with interest. It was like the interest of u person who had been thinking hard of the same thing Norman went on now to mention. "That one factor is the Christian element in Raymond. Say The Ncwf hns lost heavily from the dropping ofi of peoplo who do not care for a Christian daily and from others who simply look upon a newspaper as a purveyor of all sorts of material to amuse and interest them, are there enough genuino Christian pc >plo in Raymond who will rally to th? support of a paper such as Jesus woei* probably edit, or aro the habits of th > neople so firmly established in their mauds for the regnlar typo of jomn&Msm that they will not tako a paper unless it is stripped largely of the Christian and moral >??nrnose?

As it is now, unless, as I said, the Christian peoplo of Raymond, the church moiubers and professing disciples, will support the paper with subscriptions and advertisements. 1 cannot continue its publication on the present basis.'' Virginia naked a qnestiou. Sho had followed Mr. Norman's confession with tho most intense eagerness. "Do you mean thut a Christian daily ought to bo endowed with a large sum. like a Christian college, in order to make it pay?" "That is exactly what I mean. 1 have laid out plans for putting into The News such a variety of material, in such n strong and truly interesting way, that it would moro than make up for whatever was absent from its col?<? tho wnv of nn-Christian mat UUIUO *U VMV .? ? _ ter, but my plans called for a very large outlay of money. I am very confident that a Christian daily such as Jesus would approve, containing only what he would print, can be made to succeed financially if it is planned to the right lines, but it will take a large sum oi money to work out the plans." "How much do you think t" askec1 Virginia quietly. Edward Norman looked at her keen ly, and his face flushed a moment as ar idea of Virginia's purpose crossed hi: mind. Ho had known her when she wa a little girl in the Sunday school, an< * ho had boen on intimate relations ii business with her father. i "I should say a half million dollar in a town like Raymond could be wel > spent in tho establishment of a pape i such as wo have in mind," he answered ) and his voico trembled a little. Th , keen look on Edward Norman's grizzle t faco flashed out with a stern but thoi 1 oughly Christian anticipation of gren f achievements in the world of newspap< > life as it had opened up to him withi the last few seconds. "Then," said Virginia, speaking i h if tho thought were fully consyiere< y "I am ready to put that amount < a money into the paper on the one cond o tion, of course, that it be carried on i i- it has bcon begun." it "Thank God!" exclaimed Hem ).
