As he stood looking at the windows tho door between them opened, and Fe licia Sterling came out. "Felicia I" said the bishop. "When did you move into my parish without my knowledge?" "How did you find me so soon?'' asked Felicia. "Why, don't yon know? These are tho only clean windows in the block." "I believe they are," replied Felicia, with a laugh that did the bishop good to hear. "But why have you dared to come to Chicago without telling me, and how have you entered my diocese without my knowledge?" asked the bishop, and Feliciii looked so like that beautiful, clean, educated, refined world he once knew that ho might be pardoned for seeing in her something of the old para dise, although, to speak truth for the bishop; he had no desire to go back to it again. "Well, dear bishop, " said Felicia, who had always called him so when ever they had met, "I know how over whelmed you were with your work. I did not want to burden you with my plans, and, besides, I am going to offer you" my services. Indeed I was just on my way to seo you and ask your advice. I am settled here for tho present with Mrs. Bascom, a saleswoman who rents our three rooms, and with one of Ra chel's music pupils, who is being helped to a course in violin by Virginia Page. She is from the people," continued Fe licia, using the words "from the peo ple" so gravely and unconsciously that the bishop smiled, "and I am keeping house for her and at the same time be ginning an experiment in pure food for the masses. I am an expert, and I have a plan I want yon to admire and de velop. Will yon, dear bishop?" "Indeed I will," replied the bishop. The sight of Felicia and her remarkable vitality, enthusiasm and evident pur pose almost bewildered him. "Martha can help at the settlement with her violin, and I will help with my messes. Von see, 1 thought 1 would get settled first and work out something and then come with some real thing to offer. I m able to earn my own living now." "Yon arc?" The bishop said it a lit tle incredulously. "How? Making those things? " 'Those thingsl' " said Felicia, with a show of indignation. "I would have you know, sir, that 'those things' are the best cooked, purest food products in this whole city." I don t doubt it," said tho bishop hastily, while his eyes twinkled. "Still, the 'proof of the pudding' Y( u know the rest." "Come in and try some," exclaimed Felicia. "You poor bishopl You look as if you hadn't had a good meal for a month." She insisted on the bishop's entering the little front room where Martha, a wide awake girl with short curly hair d an unmistakable air of music about her, was busy with practice. "Go right on, Martha. This is the bishop. You have heard me speak of him so often. Sit down here and let me give yon a taste of the fleshpots of Egypt, for I believe you have been ac tually fasting. 1 ' So Felicia and the bishop had an im provised lnnch, and tho bishop, who, to tell the truth, had not taken time for weeks to enjoy his meals, feasted on the delight of his unexpected discovery and was able to express his astonishment and gratification at the quality of the cookery. , "I thought yon would at least say U was as good as tho meals you used to get at tho Auditorium at the big ban quets," said Felicia slyly. " 'As good asl' The Auditorium ban quets were simply husks compared to this one, Felicia. But you must couio to tho settlement. I want you to seo what wo are doing. And I am simply astonished to find you hero earning your living this way. I begin to see what your plan is. You can bo of in finite help to us. Yon don't really mean that yon will live hero and help these peoplo to know tho valuo of good food ?" "Indeed I do," Felicia answered gravely. "That is my gospel. Shall I not follow it?" "Aye, ayel Yon'ro rie-ht. Bless God (or sense like yours. When I left the world" the bishop smiled at thophraso "they were talking a good deal about the 'new woman.' If you are one of them, 1 am a convert right now and here. " "Hatf'TV still! Jt there no escape from it even in the sl'ims of Chicago?" Felicia laughed again, mud the bishop's heart, heavy though it had grown (lur ing several months of vast sin bearing, rejoiced to hear it. It sounded good. It was good. It belonged to God. Feliciii wanted to visit the settlement and went back with the bishop. Sho was amaed at the refills of what con siderable numcy an 1 a good deal of con secrated brains had done. As they walk ed through the building they talked in cessantly. Filic'a was the incarnation of vital enthusiasm. Even the bishop wondered at the exhibition of it as it bubbled up and sparkled over. They went down into the basement, and tho bishop pushed open the door, from behind which came the sound of a carpcntir's plane. It was a small but well equipped carpenter's shop. A young man with a paper cap on his head and clad in blouse and overalls was wlii:tl:ng and driving the plane as ne whistled. Ho looked up as the bishop and Felicia entered and took off his cap. As he did so his little finger carried a small curling shaving up to his hair, and it caught there. "Miss Sterling, Mr. Stephen Clyde," said the bishop. "Clyde is one of our helpers here two afternoons in the week. ' ' Just then tho bishop was called up stairs, and ho excused khus.-t.-lf for a mo ment, leaving Felicia and the young carpenter together. "We have met before," said Felicia, looking at Clyde frankly. "Yes, 'back in the world,' as tho bishop says," replied the young man, and his fingers' trembled a little as they lay on tho board he had been planing. "Yes." Felicia hesitated. "I am very glad to see you. " "Are you?" The flush of pleasure mounted to the young carpenter's fore head. "You have had a great deal of troub'e since then?" ho said, and then he was afraid ho had wounded her or called up painful memories, but Felicia had lived over all that. "Yes, and you also, flow is it you are working here?" "It is a long story, Miss Sterling. My father lost his money, and I was obliged to go to work, a very good thing for me. Tho bishop says I ought to be grateful. I am. I am very happy now. I learned the trade hoping some time to bo of use. I am niht clerk at one of the hotels. That Sunday morning when you took tho pledge at Nazareth Av enue church I took it with the others." "Did you ?" said Felicia slowly. "I am glad. " Just then the bishop came back, and very soon he and Felicia went away, leaving the young carpenter at his work. Some one noticed that he whistled loud er than ever as he planned. "Felicia," said tho bishop, "did you know Stephen Clyde before?" "Yes, 'back ki the world, ' dear bishop. He was one of my acquaintances in Nazareth Avenue church. " "Ah!" said the bishop. "We were very good friends," added Felicia. "But nothing more?" tho bishop ven tured to a?jk. Felicia's face glowed for an instant. Then she looked the bishop in the eyes frankly and answered: "Truly and trulv. nothing more." "It would be just tho way of the world for those two people to come to like each otiier, inov.gu, thought the bishop to himself, and somehow the thought made him grave. It was al most like tho old pang over Camilla, but it passed, leaving him afterward, when Felicia had t one back, with tears in his eyes and a feeling that was al most hepe that Felicia and Stephen would like each other. "After all, " said the bishop, like the sensible, .good man that he was, "is not romance a part of humanity ? Love is older than I am and wiser. Tho week following tho bishop had an experience that belongs to this part of the settlement's history. Ho was coming back to the settle ment very late from somo gathering of tho striking tailors and was walking along, with his hands behind him, when two men jumped out from behind En old fence that shut off an abandoned factory from the street and faced him. One of tho men thrust a pistol into the bishop's face, and the other threatened him with a ragged stake that had evi dently been torn from the fence. "Hold up your hands, and be quick about it I" said the man with the pistoL The place waB solitary, and the bishop had no thought of resistance. He did as ho was commanded, and the man with the stake began to go through his pock ets. The bishop was calm. His nerves did hot quiver. As he stood there with his arms uplifted an ignorant spectator might have thought that he was pray ing for the souls of these two men. And h'j was, and his- prayer was singularly answered that very night. CHAFTER XI. righteousness shall co before him and shall us in the way o' his steps. The bishop was uot in the ha! carrying much money with him, and tho man with the stake, ,who was searching him, uttered an oath at tho small amount of chango he found. As ho uttered it the man with tho pistol savagely 'said: "Jerk out his watch! We might as well get all we can out of tho job. ' ' Tho -man with the stake was on the point of laying hold of the chain when there was the sound of footsteps coming toward them. "Get behind the fence! We haven't half searched him yet. Mind yon keep chut now if you don't want" The man with tho pistol made a sig nificant gesture with it, and his com panion pulled and pnshed tho bishop down the alley and through a ragged broken opening in the fence. The three stood still there in the shadow until the footsteps pas.-ed. "Now, I lien, have von got the watch v "No where! again. a 1 t!e man with the pistol, chain is caught some- the t And tlu' other man swore .; it, tuen !" don't break it," tho bishop "No; said, and spoken. it was die hrst tune he had Tho chain is the gift of a very dear fr have it br. -.'.; ; Hi 1 should bo sorry to At the sound of the bishop's voice the man with the pistol started as if ho had bet n sedti'-nly shot by his own weapon. With a quick movement of his other hand he turned the bishop's head toward what little light was shining from the alleyway, ut the same time ta'.ing a st. p nearer. Then, to the evi dent amar.i went of his companion, he said roughly "Leave the watch alone. We've got tho money. That's enough. " "Enough! Fifty cents! Yon don't reckon" Before- tho man with the stake could say another word he was confronted with the ..uizzlo of the pistol, turned m m When it becomes necessary to sit up in bed to get your breath; when die least exertion such' as walking, sweeping, singing, talking cr going up and down stairs, causes shortness of breath, fluttering or palpitation; then it is time to do something to brace up and strengthen your failing" heart.

This is the bishop we've held up the bishop I Do yon hear ?" "And what of it ? The president of the United States wouldn't be too good to hold up if" "I say, you put the money back, or in five minutes I'll blow a hole through your head that'll let in more sense than you hate to spare now," said the other. For a second the man with tke stake seemed to hesitate at this strange turn in events, as if measuring his compan ion's intention. Then he hastily drop ped the money back into the bishop's pocket "You can take yonr hands down, sir." The man with the weapon low ered it slowly, still keeping an eye on the other man and speaking with rough respect. The bishop slowly brought his arms to his side and looked earnestly at the two men. In the dim light it was difficult to distinguish features. He was evidently free to go his way now, but he stood there, making no movement. "You can go on. You needn't stay any longer on our account. " Tho man who had acted as spokesman turned and sat down on a stone. The other man stood viciously digging his stake into the ground. "That's just what I'm staying for," replied the bishop. He sat down on a board that projected from the broken fence. "you must like our company. It is hard sometimes for people to tear them selves away from us," the man stand ing np said, laughing coarsely. "Shut np!" exclaimed the other. "We're on the road to hell, though; that's sure enough. We need better company than ourselves and the devil. " "If you would only allow me to be of any help" The bishop spoke gen tly, even lovingly. The man on the stone stared at the bishop through the darkness. After n moment of silence he spoke slowly, like one who had finally decided ppon a course he had at first rejected. "Do you remember ever seeing me before?" "No," said the bishop. "The light is not very good, and I have really not had a good look at you. " "Do yon know me now?" The man suddenly took off his hat and, getting up from the stone, walked over to the bishop until they were near enough to touch, each other. The man's hair was coal black, ex cept one spot on the top of his head about as largo as the palm of the hand, which was white. The minute the bishop saw tha,t he started. Tho niemory of 15 years ago began to stir in hiin. Tho man helped him. 'Don't yon remember one day back in '81 or 'S'J a man came to your house and told a story abont his wife and child having been burned to death in a tenement liro in New Y'ork?" "Y'es; I begin to recall now," mur mured me oisiiop. ino ottier man 1 geemed to be interested. He ceased dig ging his stake in the ground and stood still, listening.

"I remember it now," the bishop re ' plied gently. "I hope you have kept your promise. " I The man laughed savagely. Then he struck his hand against tho fenco with such sudden passion that he drew blood. J "Kept it! I was drnuk inside of a ! week I've been drinking ever since, but I've never forgotten you or your prayer.
