I heard today Bhe hud received an offer. I'ui going to { write and urge her to^come. I'm just dying to hear her sing." ' Felicia looked out of tho window and was silent. The carriage rolled on past < two blocks of magnificent private residences and turned into a wido driveway under n covered passage, and the sisters hurried into the house. It was an elegant mansion of gruystone, furnished like a palace, every corner of it warm with the' luxury of paintings, sculpture, art and refinement. The owner of it all. Mr Charles R Sterling, stood before an open grate fire smoking a cigar. Ko had mado lii.-> 4 money in grain speculation and railroad ventures und was reputed to h> worth something over two millions. His wife was r* eioter of Mr:.. Wintdov j of Raymond. She had been an invalid for several years. Tlio two girls, Kos> and Felicia, were the only cbildr ?. Hose was 21 years old, fair, vivadio'if. educated in a fashionable college, j.i't entering society and already somewhat cynical cud indifferent, a very hard young lady to please, her father f lid sometimes playfully, sometimes sternly. Felicia was 10, with a tropical beauty somewhat like her cousin, Rachel V.rinslow. with warm, generous impulse.' just waking into Christian feeling, capable of all sorts of expression, a pnzz'o to her father, a source of irritation to her mother and with a gTeat, nn u eyed territory of thought and aciion in herself of which sho was more than dimly conscious. There was that in Felicia that wonld easily endure any condition in life if only the liberty to act fully on her conscientious convictions werp granted her. "Hero's ft 'otter fov you, Felicia," said Mr. Sterling, taking it out of his NOftMfc Felicia eat down and instantly opened tlio letter, raying hs she did so. "It's from Rachel." "Well, what's tho latest news from Raymond t" asked Mr. Sterling, taking hia cigar out of bis month and looking i at Felicia, aa ho oflchi did. with half < shut eves, a3 if bo wero str.dyii:;; Jicr. , "Rachel c::ys Dr. Ernco has been titnrlrin -? at *(4^ >*> iav?i\4 im I n W OHIiil.l* ^ an l has seemed very much interested in Mr. Maxwell's pledge in the First church." "What docs Rachel say about herself?" asked Rose, who wan lying on a conch ulmcst buried under half n dozen elegant cushions. "She is still singing at the Rectangle. Since the tent meetings closed she sings in an old hall until the new buildings her friend Virginia Pago is putting up are completed." "I must wiito Rachel to come to Chicago and via it us. She ought net to throw away her voice in that railroad town upon nil thuso people who don't appreciate her." Mr. Sterling lighted o new cigar, and Rose exclaimed "Rachel is awfully queer, I think. Sho might ret Chicago wild with her voico if rho sang in the .Auditorium, and thero sho goes on. throwing her voice away on peoplo who don't know what they are hearing. " 1 Rachel won't .conio here unless she can ?lo it and keep her pledge at the snruo time," raid Felicia after a pause. "What pledget" Mr. Sterling asked tho question ar.d then added hastily: "Oh, I know I Yes; a very peculiar thing that. Powers used to be a friend of mine. Wo learned telegraphy in the namo office; made n great sensation wh* n ho resigned and handed over that cvidenco to the interstate commerce commission, and he's back at his telegraphy ugnin. There have been queer d in Raymond during the p.< year. I wonder what Dr. Brueo th: of it, on tho whole. I must have a ta... with l.im about it." "lie preaches tomorrow." said Felicia "Perhaps he will tell us something about It." Tin re was eilence for a juinnte. Then Felicia said abruptly, as if she had gone on with a spoken thought to some invisible hearer, "And what if he should propose the Eanie pledge to the Nazareth Avenue church ? ' "Who? Whatareyou talking about ?" asked her father, a little sharply. "About Dr. Bruce. I say what if he should propose to our church what Mr. Maxwell proposed t his and ask for volunteers who would pledge themselves to do everything lifter n?lrin?r the nnr-Ktion, 'Whut would Jesus do?"
