"The lieutenant Is .rctty," whispered
Kennedy as, raising her bot.net and throw
lug bark her head, she begun the address,
"-he Is very pn UT. I wonder we did not
notice her before. What to yoo think ol
tier"
Knr a time I gazed down tho aisle to the
girl and listened to her worn, .-ne u.
more than pretty; she was beautiful. Th'
hUck oval bonnet was setting mr a um-v
formed fiue, made bright Iy earnest eye
looking from the shadow of dark waving
hair. T he rudely cut serge gown could Dot
friiimt.h over tho grace of the slender Ilg
lire, but fell closely and win sen-ant to It.
Thu hands that moved tonnd fro in gesturt
and persuasion were small and very white.
Like nu Ideal of gentle purltanism h(
stood and spoke, and her voire was sweet
I.,.,. mil her words were clour and
forefflll.
".-tie Is, Indeed, good to ,'' I answered
Kennedy. "I, t.i, wi nder why we did not
notice her U-foro. Uiero Is nothing Ilkf
her In vour IxM.k. Is she mi exception!
He made no reply, and I saw that her
word hud moved Mm to Interest, and
that he was smiling and leaning forward.
The thoinzht rame to me that he wai
studying his third chapter and added tc
my dislike of all that he had written
The minutes passed, and her sjH-akins
grew very eloquent. The people censed
their ' (ilorles!" and hearkened In silence.
The sinilo left the face of Kennedy, nnd hh
breathing beramo more quick nnd his eye
more earnest Though less moved than
some, I felt upon n:y cheek the Hush ol
eii-ltoment.
Still sho spokoon, and her words were
fast and high, as of one who wrostlod with
souls unto prevailing. And now l saw
that the girl In the corner had forgot tel.
her boy lover and was crying silently. Ano
how I saw that Kennedy s lips were clos
ing and unclosing, and that his hamh
were grlp-d together and were trembllnp
In tho grip.
There was a sob In the woman's throat
and a stay In her words, and then tho sot
was gone, and again she spoke. Now slit
made passionate entreaty that the sinnet
In the hall would repent that very night
and give up his soul at tho penitent form.
And now It seemed to me that with eyef
that were wet and wistful sho gazed uloiig
tho nsiiii to the envt of Kenncdv.
"This night, sinner, tills night and hero,
cast off your load! Kneel at this form
and pray for help and pardon! Then
stand and give thank for tho merer. We
will pray with you, sinner. Wo will pralst
with you, saved olio. Oh, let not the time
go! Kepcnt this night this night and
hero," were tho words of her entreaty, and
at their end sho still gazed along the room
nnd waited for an answer. Tln-ro cnint
tho answer. Korn moment Kennedy stood
nt my side, bowed ami trembling. Then
In quick step ho went toward tho plat
form, bis hands outstretched and his fact
broken like tho face of a woman In lira
torln of shis k. With look of joy nnd trl
umph, sho came to mi-ct him and Psik lili
hand In hers and led him to tho form t
which sh had pointed. Together thoj
knelt, and she prayed aloud for men-v nn-
on him and for the lifting of his sins, and
with her prayers wont up his soulilng nnd
Uio aniens or the moil and women.
T hey stood again and faced tho room
and I saw that ho, tho sootier of nn hout
before, now shook mid went. And sho.
tho girl, too, saw nml laid her hand upon

compassion.

And so Mr. and Mrs. Bartlott fulled to
witness that momorablo game In which
their younges; son gained (or himself such
enviable lulircls.
Uneo III the field linger wus like one
transformed. Keen, alert, cool, rising

would havo known him for tho sumo slow,
Indifferent, easy going sioclmon of hu

The great game over, tho victorious
team hastutiid buck to tholr gymnasium
with all possible speed. They had some
Uttlo distance to go, as tho gymnasium
was not very near tho ball grounds, so
that In order to reach It they wore obliged
to traverse tho center of tlio town and
cross the railroad tracks.
As Koger stepped upon tho platform ho
became conscious that something unusual
was going on, and ho immediately per
oelvod that tho eyes of tlio multitude were
riveted upon a llgiire half way across the
tracks, a figure pausing there in bewilder
ment.
"There's a train coming each war,"
somebody gasped. "Why doesn't he got

The station ngctitiitid one or two other
oflicials wero shouting loudly, but tho
man, w ho wi.s old and very deaf, appeared
thoroughly dazed.
As tho crowd of bystanders shrunk back
with horror stricken faces a llguro in a
much begrimed canvas jacket sprang out
from among tboni, and clearing the tracks
at a bound alighted lKsido tho swaying
form nf tho other.
A shudder mid a wave of pitiful rogrot
swept over tho motionless crowd. "He
can never drag him hack in time," they
iireaincu. iliey will lioth bo klllod."
Hut tho football man had no thought of
dragging tlio unsteady llguro In front of
cither approaching engine. In un Instant
he had tackled tho man and throtvu Mm
flat upon tho ground between tho trucks.
Then ho dropped lightly on ton nf him.
and lay there motionless while the two
trains thundered past on each sldoof them.
uud the crowd stood waiting spellbound.
Abashed and unite overwhelmed llV t llA

overthrew his own brother Fred, who hap-
