Somehow ttie younger Miss Lely felt

Hilda bad seen him. It was some
family "arrangement" which the fam

"come off" some day. Tlie Rev. Ronald

always been tbe greatest of friends,
and It seemed only natural to all con

A day or two later tbe aceno waa

thrust out of danger by a mighty hand.
There waa a a hlxxlng •ensatlon In her

money from somebody else," said the
pilgrim, “for I have nothing to go
home with.' He went Into the church
