Jar. sterling baa gone into his room
that craning about 0 o'clock, and that
was the last seen of him nntil in half
an hour a shot was heard and a servan
who was in the hall ran into tho room
and found the owner of the liouso dead
on ths floor, killed by his own hand.
Felicia at tho time was sitting by ber
mother. Rose was reading in tho library.
She ran np stairs, Raw lier father
as he was being lifted npon the conch
by the servants and then ran screaming
into her mother's room, where she flung
herself down on tho foot of the bed in
a swoon. Mrs. Sterling had at first
fainted at the shock, then rallied with
wonderful swiftness and sent a messenger
to call Dr. Brace. She had then
insisted on seeing her husband. In spito
of Felicia, she had compelled Clara and
the housemaid, terrified and trembling,
to support her while slxo crossed tho
hall and entered the room where her
husband lay. She had looked upon him
with a tearless face, had gone back into
" her own room, was laid on the bed, and
as Dr. Bruce and the bishop entered the
house she, with a prayer of forgiveness
for herself and her husband on her

senseless at her feet.
So great and swift had been the entrance
of grim death into that palace
of lnxnry thHt Sunday night, but the
full cause of his coming was not known
until the facts in regard to Mr. Sterling's
business affairs were finally disclosed.
Then it was leurned that for some
time he had been facing financial rnn
owing to certain speculations that had
in a month's time swept his supposed
wealth into complete destruction With

who battles for his very life, when he

It h?d all rested on a tisane of deceit

us the l'ool dioth, for what is the gain '
or the loss of money compared with the
unsearchable riches of eternal life, which
are far beyond the reach of worldly
speculation, loss or change?
Mrs. Sterling's death was the result
of shock. She had not been taken into
her husband's confidence for year* hnt
silo knew that the eonrco of his wealth
was precarious Her lifo for several
years had been a death in life The
Rolfes always gnvo the impression that
they could endure more disaster unmoved
than any 0110 else. Mrs. Sterling
illustrated the old family tradition
when she was carried into tho room
where her husband lay, but tho feeble
tenement could not hold the spirit, and .
it gave up the ghost, torn and weakened .
by long years of suffering and disap- j
pointinent.
The effect of this triplo blow, the j
death of father and mother and the loss )
of property, was instantly apparent in :
the sisters. Tho horror of events stupe- j
tied Rose for weeks. She lay unmoved
by sympathy or any effort to rally. She 1
did not 6eem yet to realize that tho '
money which had been so large a part j
of her very existence was gone. Even j
when she was told that she and Felicia
most leave tho house and bo dependent
upon relatives and friends she did not
seem to understand what it meant.
Felicia, however, was fully conscious |
of tho facts. She knew just what had
happened and why. Sho was talking
over her future plans with her cousin
Rachel a few days after tho funerals.
Mrs. Winslowand Rachel had left Raymond
and como to Chicago at onco as
soon as tho terrible news had reached
them, and with other friends of the
family they were planning for the future
of Rose and Felicia.
"Felicia, yon and Roso must como to
Raymond with us. That is settled
Mother will not hear of any other plan
at present," Rachel had said, while her
beautiful faco glowed with love for her
cousin, a lovo that had deepened day
by day and was intensified by the
knowledge that they both belonged to
the new discipleship.
"Unless I could find something to do
here." answered Felicin She looked
wistfully nt Rachel, and Rachel said j
gently
"What could you do. dear?'
"Nothing I was never taught to do ,
. nything ertcept a little music, and I i
do not know enough about it to teach ,
it or earn r y livir.g ut it 1 have learned !
tocook u little," Felicia answered, with '
a slight smile I
"Then you can cook for ns Mother
is always having trouble with her kiteli- ;
en " said Rachel, understanding well ;
enough that Felicia was thinking of tho
fact that she was now dependent for
her very food and shelter upon tho kind- .
ness of family friends
It is true, the girls received h little
something out of the wreck of their fa ,
tlier's fortune, but with u speculator's
mad folly ho had managed to involve
both his wife's and his children's portions
in tlm common ruin.
"Can IV Can I ?" Felicia roplied to
Rachel's proposition, ua if it were to be
considered seriously. "1 am ready to do
anything honorable to make my living
and that of Rose Poor Rose! She will !
lever bo able to get over the shock of
?ur trouble.''
"We will arrange tho details whet*
wo get to Raymond." Rachel said, smiling

lidding to the burden of Felicia and her
cousin Rachel.
Felicia at onco found herself in an
atmosphere of discipleship that was like
heaven to her in its revelation of companionship
It is true that Mrs. Wiuslow
was not in sympathy with the
course that Rachel was taking, but the
remarknblo events since tho pledge had
been taken wore too "powerful in their
results not to impress even such a worn*
in as Mrs. Winslow. With Rachel Felicia
found u perfect fellowship. She at
once found a part to take in the novv
work at tho Rectangle. In the spirit of
her new life she insisted upon helnir.g
in tho housework at her aunt's and in
a short time demonstrated her ability
as a cook so clearly that Virginia suggested
that she take charge of tho cooking
class at the Rectangle.

the keenest pleasure. For the first time
in her life she had the delight of doing
something of value for the happiness of
others. Her resolve to do everything

touched her deepest nature. She began
to develop and strengthen wonderfully
Even Mrs. Wiualow was obliged to

greatest luxury, the daughter of a millionaire.
now walking around in her
kitchen, her arms covered with flour
and occasionally a streak of it on her
nose?for Felicia at first had a habit of
rubbing her nose forgetfully when she
was trying to remember some recipe?
mixing various dishos, with the greatest
interest in tlieir results, washing up
puns ana Kettles and doing the ordinary
work of a servant in the Winslow
kitchen and at the rooms of the Rectauglo
settlement At first Mra Winslow
remonstrated
"Feliciu, it is not your placo to be
ont hero doing this ccmimon work I
cannot allow it."
"Why, aunt? Don't yon like tho
muffins I made this morning Y" Felicia
would ask meekly, but with a hidden
smile, knowing her aunt's weakness for
that kind of mnfini
"They wore beautiful, Felicia, hut it
doi.s not seem right for you to be doing
such work for ns "
"Why not V What else can 1 do?'
Her aunt lookcl at her thc nglita.lly

"Yon do not always intend to do

"Maybe I shall. I have had a dream

Tlireo months hud gone by since the t
J Sunday morning when Dr. Bruce came f
into his pulpit with the message of tiie t
new disciploship Never before had the 1
Rev. Calvin Bruce realized how deep L
I the feelings cf his members flowed. IIo t
humbly confessed that the appeal he
( had* made met with an unexpected re
i sponsc from men and women who. like
Felicia, wero hungry for something in
their lives that the conventional type of
i clinrch membership and fellowship had
j failed to give them c
But Dr Draco was not yet satisfied '
j for himself. We cannot tell what hi3 ?
] feeling was or what led to the move *
uient he finally made, to the great astonishment
of all who knew him. better f\
than by relating a conversation bo- ^
tween him and the bishop at this time
in the history of the pledge in Nazareth 'f
Avenne church The two friends were, 1
as before, in Dr Bruce 'a house, seated
in his study
"Yon know wlmf 1 iinvni-nmo in tliia -
evening for?" tho bishop was saying
after tho friends had been talking some time
about the results of tho pledge
with Nazareth Avenne people.
Dr. Bruce looked over at the bishop
and shook hie head.
"I have come to confess," went on
the bishep. "thut I hnve uot yet kept
uiy promise to walk in his steps in the
way that 1 believe I shall bo obliged to
if I satisfy my thought of what it c
means to walk in his steps." C
Dr Bruce had risen and was pacing
his study The bishop remained in the #
deep easy chair, with his hands clasped,
but his eye burned with the glow that
always belonged to him before ho made
some great resolve M
"Edward"?Dr Bruce speke abruptly?
"1 have not yet been able to satisfy
myself, either, in obeying my promise,
but I have at last decided on my course. ,
Jn order to follow it, I shall be obliged t
to resign from Nazareth Avenue o
church." 1
"I know yon would," replied the <i
bishop quietly, "and I eamo in this
evening to say that I shall bo obliged ?
to do tiro same with my charge." A
Dr. Brnco turned and walked up to
his friend. They were both laboring
under repressed oscitement. .
"Is it nocessary in your enso?" asked
Bruce.
"Yes. Let uie rtato my reason

was told what great things he must
