me from retting flabby as a half-
-' filled balloon. And I'd begin to train
my left hand.- I'd work with it night
and day. I'd never rive up until I
could make- it do the work of my
right. That's what I, or any other
ordinary woman, would do!
Van CJeve, after staring' st her
i departing figure for an instant,
slowly lifted his left - hand and
- scanned it as if he were seeing it
for the first time.
When she reached heir room, she
was aghast at the way in which
she had lost her head. She re
called Van's pale face as he winced
under her cruel,, stinging words.
Her innate honesty confronted her
with her glibness in telling him how
he should handle his problem when
: she) knew she bad made an irrep-
arable mess of managing- her own.
Then suddenly! she Hong herself
down among the cushions and all
-: thought was blotted out in a passion
" of weeping.
Her emotional storm spent itself
after a time and she came back to
- a consciousness of something that
filled her with mild wonder. The
blizzard was still roaring with un
, abated fury about the walls, but
she was no longer fighting ft. In
that mindless interval of tears.
she had somehow yielded herself to
! it, merged herself with it in a kind
of mystic unity that was now re
warding' her with the first relaxa
tion she bad known for days.
Later, when she went down to
"apologize to Van, she found him
, still in the card room. But the bot
I tie of rum had disappeared. He
i sat before a table, meticulously, ab
sorbedly drawing geometrical de
signs with his left hand.
. The following Sunday morning,
as Denny stood looking out the
, living-room window; the ding deng
of the church bell came 'up sweetly
! through the falling-snow.
, She felt a rush of sympathy for
, the missionary. She had never
j visited his church and had no intea.
, tion of identifying herself with any
: of its activities, hut now she decided
; she would break the monotony of
. tne oay cy going- down to the mom

The second bell had just ceased

robes holding decorously aloof from
his sturdy, moccasmed feet. But
when his blue eyes met hers in a
glad look of surprise and welcome,
her own misted so that she could
only vaguely see as she slipped into
pew.
He began the service, his clipped,
confident British voice barking out
the announcements as if as Harp
had said he were snapping out
orders to a turret crew.
"Hymn Number 721!"
She watched him swing down out
of the chancel, march over to the
organ and seat' himself before it,
booting aside his robes to get his
feet on the worn pedals. lake a
small boy playing a piece, he con
centrated on his hands, drawing
preliminary chords from the stiff
keys; chords thin and blurred,, but
somehow endowed with his own
Bareness. An emotional chill ; ran
through her as his deep baritone
took up the words:
"Lead kindly light, amid th
-r encircling gloom.
Lead thou me on.
The' night is dark, and I am far
' from home . .
The voices of the Indian women,
faint and high and sweetly uncer
tain, joined in; bat after a bar or
two died away, leaving the Com
mander singing alone. Denny at
tempted to help him but found her
self unable to utter a note, because
of a welling sense of tears in her
throat. The Commander . . , far
from home . . . dear and funny and
splendidly gallant; asking no help
from his kind, but carrying on alone
against the ignorance and super
stition and spiritual inertia of these
natives for whom he had sacrificed
so much.
She heard little of the sermon the
Commander preached in his almost
empty church; for in her was
awakening something elusive
when she tried to name it but
higher and finer than anything she
bad ever felt before. It was an
emotion compounded of many things
compassion for the Commander,
for his nock,, for every one in the
world; and an impulse toward
gracious, unselfish service; a deter
mination to live up to that motto
her father had caused to be carved
across the mantel at River House
"Fortitude in Distress.'
The spell Was still upon her
when, after the service, she invited
the Commander home for lunch.
And before ' she knew it, she was
offering her services as organist
every Sunday also promising to
help him with his sewing class.
Her high mood wore off, of course,
almost before the Commander left
the hoase, and she began to regret
her impulsiveness. But to her sur
prise, as time went on she began to
take a pride in, and derive a great
deal ox amusement from ber work.

St Patrick's morning, sunny and
bright after a week of storm, found
Honey-jo alone in her kitchen.
Harp entered through the back
door in an aura of fresh air. His
ouick glance flicked the chair where
Boom was usually sitting and he
brightened perceptibly - when he
found it empty.
' His eyes dwelt approvingly on the
housekeeper while he subbed his
hands and sniffed the spicy air of
the kitchen. - .

of hers, ""Thank you, Reval. But

the week's : rut only temporarily
today, and when it subsided the
market relaxed once more into
quiet trading with all rains lost.
The flurry f buying was at
tributed partly to reports of good

the Canadian market of about
250.000 bushels. Flour trade the

An advance of 2 cents In rye at

Wool in Boston
BOSTO.V. Sept. 1 (AP) (CSDA)
The wool market continued very quiet
today and a slightly easier undertone was
noticed as some houses showed an incli
nation to consider bids that were not ac
ceptable last week.
Most 1 holders, however, were not in
clined to make any changes in asking
prices. The easier tone was a reaction to
the fastness in prices that have develop
ed in ' Australia since the opening there
last hfonday.
