Gray had gono to Virginia, s; and after tnlking it over with her and h Henry Maxwell the arrangements bad c Deen rnaac. ? "I am and alwaj's havo Leon opposed to large public funerals," said Gray, ? whoso complete, wholesomo simplicity r of character was ono of its great sources I' of'strength, "but tbo cry of tho poor ? creatures who knew Loreen is so earnest r; that I do not know how to refuse their ? desire to see her and pay her poor body * some last little honor. What do you 5" think, Mr. Maxwell? I will guided a by your judgment in tho matter. I nin sure that whatever you and Miss Page think is best will bo right." : 1 "I feel as you do," replied Mr. Max- P well. "Under most circumstances I have a great distaste for what seems a like display at such times, hut this seems different. Tho peoplo at tho Rec- o. tangle will not come hero to a service. ^ I think tho most Christian thing will tl bo to lot them have the service ut the o tent. Do you think so, Virgiuia ?" ? "Yes," said Virginia sadly. "Poor tl Bonll Ido not know but that some time c< I shall know she gave her life for mine. c" Wo certainly cannot and will not use o: tho occasion for vulgar display. Let ti her friends bo allowed the gratification I ?.f their wishes. I see no harm in it." ^ rh> the arrangements wprn innr1?iuitv, Ci *im>o difficulty for the servico ut the 8t t .nit. l'.ud Virginia, with her uncle and " Kollit). accompanied by Henry Max- I1 well, Rachel, President Marsh and the d quartet from the First church, went 1; down und witnessed ono of the strange scenes of their lives. It happened that ^ that afternoon a noted newspaper cor- ^ respondent was passing through Ray "J tnond on his way to an editorial con- 01 veution in a neighboring city. He heard of the contemplated service at the tent b, and was present that afternoon. Ilis v. description of it was written in a graph- cic style that canglit tho attention of h very many readers tho next day. A ii fragment of his account belongs to this d part of the history of Raymond: t "There was a very nniqno and nn- b; usual funeral service bold hero this aft- ci ernocu at tho tent of an ovaugeli i, iY Rev. John Gray, down in the slum el is- w trict known as tho Rectangle. The oc- is rasion was caused by tho killing of a pi woman during an election riot last Hr.tnrday night.

It camo lilro a t distinct personal loss toiler. That short t 1 week wliilo Lorecn had been in her 1 home had oi'cned Virginia's heart to a 8 | | new life. She was talking it over with ' ; Rachel tlio day ufter tho funeral. They 1 were sitting in the hall of tho Pago * mansion. 8 "I r.:r. going to do something with 1 my money to help these women to a ] better life. " Virginia looked over to tho ! j end of tho hall where tho day before } Loreen's body had lain. "I have uecid- 1 "" ed on a good plan, as it seems to me. I H have talked it over with Roll in. He * | \ * will devoto a Inrge part of his money to f * tho same plan." f "How much money have you, Vir- o 0 1 ginia, to givo in this way If" asked r 1 Rachel. Onco tho would never have c 1 asked such a personal question. Now it s '' ; scorned as natural to talk frankly about v money as about anything else that be- ' * 1 longed to God. a * "I have available for use at least ' $ir>0,000. Rollin has as much more. It I1 * is one of his bittc r regrets now that his 11 ' extravagant habits of lifo before his ^ conversion practically threw away half 11 s that father loft him. Wo are both eager 11 to make all tho reparation in our povv- " 9 or. 'What would .Tesas do with this c * ( money?' Wo want to answer that qucs- v 3 tion honestly and wisely. Tho money I 1 shall put into Ths News is.

I 3 want yon to work with me. Rollin and I' s I are going to buy np a largo part of 0 ^ the property in tho Rectangle. The field 3 where tho tent now is has been in liti* gation for year-". Wo mean to secure J-1 the entire tract us soon no tho court-* ' f havo settl- d tho title. For some tinto I 14 " have been making a specal study of tho ? * various forma of college settlements mid t resident methods of Christian work and n institutional church work in the heart ? 1 of groat city alums. I do not know that I liavo yet boon able to tell just what * ' i is tho wisest and most effective kind of work that can bo dono in Raymond. ' but I do know this much?my money ^ 3 (I mean God's, which lie'wants mo to > 1 3 use) can build wholesome lodging K; r houses, refuges for poor women, nsylums for shoncrirls. aafotv for munv und ( many a lost f<irl liko Lorocn. And I do j ' not want to ha simply a dispenser of ; t this money. God help mo 1 I do want " t to put myself into tlio problem. But do ' yon know, Rachel, I have n feeling ell 1 the time that all that limitless money *~ t and limitless personal suerifico can ' 1 po.sibly do will not really lessen h ' very much the awful conditions at w tho Rectangle as long as the saloon ' " is legally established there. I think that |l! ' is t ruo of any Christian work now l?o- h ; ing carried on in any great city. Tho ft , saloon furnishes material to bo saved f faster than tho settlement or reeidonco ' or roscno mission work can save it." H ; ; Virginia suddenly rose and paced tho i > hall. Rachel answered sadly and yet '1 : > with a noto of hope in her voice: 1 ' "It is true; but, oh, Virginia, what tl a wonderful amount of happiness and ! power can come out of this money 1 And .1 tho Giiloon cannot always remain here, n 1 ; Tho tinio must come when tho Christian u, | forco in tho city will trinmph." tl 1 Virginia paused near Rachel, and her pale, earnest face lighted np. | fi 1 "I believe that too.

It i lowed into her heart and mind like a lood, and the torrent of her foaling iverflowed in tears that could not he < estraincd. It was what she lmd dreamed 1 if doing herself. It represented to her omcthing that she felt was in keeping vith a right uso of her own talent. 'Yes," she said as she rose and put her rms about Virginia, while both girls 11 tho excitement of their enthusiasm inccd the hall?"yes, I will gladly put ny life into that kind of service.

Virginia, what niracles can we not accomplish with umanity if wo lmvo such n lever as onsecrated money to move things vi tii I' * "Add to it consecrated personal on- 1 Imsiasm liko yours, and it certainly ' an accomplish great things, " said Virinin, smiling, and then before Rachel ould reply Rollin came in. He hesitat- ; d a moment and was passing out of lie hall into tho library when Virginia ! 1 ailed him and asked some questions 1 bout his work. Rollin came back and sat down and I ;igether the three discussed their future Inns. Rollin was apparently entirely rey from embarrassment in Rachel's rcsenco while Virginia waa with them: illy his manner with her waa almost rcciso. if not cold. The past seemed to n y entirely absorbed in his wonderful t on version. lie had not forgotten it. |. it ho seemed to bo completely caught ;i for this present time in tlio purpose f this new lifo. After awhile Rollin was called out, nd Rachel and Virginia began to talk f other things. f "By the way. what has becomo of aspcr Chase?" 'I Virginia asked tlio question inno <* mtly enough, but Rachel blushed, nnd li irginia added, with a smile: "I suposo he is writing another hook. Is l:o oing to put you into this one, Rachel? cm know I always suspected Jasper husa of doing that very thing in his r&t story.'' "Virginia"?Rachel Bpoke with the ' ' nnkness that had always existed be- i' fvecu the two friends?"Jasper Chase Id me the other night that he?infuct -ho proposed tome?or he would if"?
