voice at first waa no more than the
half-voice of a flute sweet gentle be-

crest of the melody fuller and fuller
aa on a flooding tide
"Free of my pain free of my burden of
sorrow
At last I ahall lee thee—
There waa freedom In the voice and

Jlm8y was a soft-hearted fellow He
never knew what happened to him
but after uncounted minutes he
seemed to be choking while the cr-
had Its number which might lead to
something At the Waldorf the car
slowed up and the cab came within a
few yards Hambleton made up his
mind at that Instant that he bad been
mistaken In hla supposition of trouble
threatening the lady and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
Into the custody of those starched and
lacquered menials who guard the por-
tals of fashionable hotels
But It was so A signal waa Inter

car and stjme watcher In the door

And yet his heart smote him as he

ory insisted "There they go west

richly like a good Scotchman with
scientific Instances A month or two
later he contrived to have work to
do In Boston so that he could go out
to Lynn and look up Jimmy’s case
He even devised a cure by creating
In his mind an office In the biological
world which waa to be offered to
James on the feVound that science
' needed just his abilities and training
'- But when Aleck arrived In Lynn he
- found that Jim In some fashion or
other had found a cure for himself
" He was deeper than ever In the busi-
ness and yet In some spiritual sense
he had found himself He had cap-
tured hie Ideal agal and yoked It to
duty—1 ‘-which la a great feat
After twelve years of ferocious la-
bor with no vacations to speak of
James’ mind took a turn for the worse
Physically he was as sound as a bell
though of lath-like thinness but an
effervescing in his' blood lured his
mind away from the study of lasts and
accounts and Parisian models and
sent It careering like Satan up and
- down the earth Romance which had
been drugged during the transition
from youth to manhood awoke and
coaxed for its rights and whispered
temptingly in an ear not yet dulled to
Its voice Freedom open spaces
began to consider details
The day after his arrival was occu-
pied in making arrangements for his
boat' H6 put Into this matter the
same painstaking buoyancy that he
had put Into a dull business for
twelve years He changed his plans
half a dozen times and exceeded them
wholly In the size and equipment of
the little vessel and In the conse-
quent expense but he justified him-
self as men will by a dozen good
reasons The trig little sail-boat
turned out to be a respectable yacht
steam at that She was called the
Sea Gull Neat In the beam stanch
In the bowA rigged for coasting and
provided with a decent living outfit
she was “good enough for any gentle-
man" In the opinion of the agent who
rented her Jim was half ashamed at
giving up the more robust scheme of
sailing his own boat with Aleck but
some vague and expansive spirit
moved him "to see” as he said
what it would be like to go as far and
as fast as we please" While they
were about it they would call on some
cousins at Bar Harbor and get good
fun out of it
THie idea of his holiday grew as he
played with it As his spin took on
a more complicated character hla
money-belt' About the middle of the
afternoon he left hla hotel engaged
a taxicab and started for Riverside
The late summer day was fine with
the afternoon haze settling over river
and town He watched the procession
of carriages the horseback riders the
people afoot the children playing on
the grass with a feeling of comrade-
ship Was he not also tasting free-
dom — a lord of the earth? His gaze
traveled out to the river with the
glimmer here and there of a tug-boat
a little steamer or the white sail of
nearly a block ahead Hambleton
leaped out
“Of course we’ve broken down?”
he mildly Inquired Deep in his heart
he was superstitlously thinking that
he would let fate determine his next
move If there were obstacles in the
way of hlB further quest well and
good he would follow the Face no
longer
“If you’ll wait Just a minute — ” the
driver was saying "until I get my kit
out—” '
But Hambleton' looking ahead saw
a pleasure craft The blood of some that the dar had disappeared and his
seagoing ancestor stirred In his veins I mind suddenly veered
New Ways of Evangelists
Departure From Old Time Meth-
ode Hae Been Made In Busy
New York Streets
They certainly have speeded up the
gospel wagon hereabouts Every one
has seen the old-fashioned noon day
evangelist at work He usually stands
upon a Boap box he ia sometimes
aided by a bunch of singers whose
voices need immediate patching and
he is always earnest but often re-
grettably greasy Also a good many
of him have the habit of passing the
hat by proxy before the wary audi-
ence can make its get-away The
most elaborate old time outfit only
ran to a cottage organ in a wagon
The wagon always wheezed and the
organist knew only the aad tunes —
with a universe full of Joyous melo-
dies to pick from They don’t do it
-that way any more Street evangel-
ism Is on the first speed along with
everything else Every moon nowa-
'dayi an up-to-date entertainment com
mittee can be seen front the windows
of the Tlmes-Star office at work on
Madison square says the New York
correspondent of that paper The
evangelist rldea to his daily task in
a taxicab and when It is his time
to speak he stands on the front seat
and steadies himself by holding to the
driver's bead In the cab are from
three to five good looking women —
good looking get that? — who can
and do sing Sometimes they are
accompanied by a cornetist who is a
real artist f They sing regular songs
too with a gospel flavor and at a
quickstep Sometimes they use meg-
aphones pointed upward at the win-
dows of the surrounding skyscrapers
Heads Jam those windows the mo-
ment the first note la heard There
isn’t anything cheap or commonplace
or sordid in the outfit The women
are well dressed and have good
voices The speaker la always witty
and eloquent — and he is Just as
earnest even if hla coat does fit and
and he thrilled at the thought of the
days to come when his prow should
be headed offshore
The taxicab had Its limitations and
Hambleton suddenly became Impa-
tient of its monotonous slithering
along the firm road Telling the driv-
er to follow him he descended and
crossed to where Cathedral Parkway
switches off He walked briskly feel-
ing the tonic of the sea air and circled
the cathedral where workmen were
lounging away after their day's toll
The unfinished edifice loomed up like
a giant skeleton of some prehistoric
era and through Its mighty open
arches and buttresses Jim saw fleecy
his collar is dandruffless When the I
noon hour is over they ride to their
homes In the taxi It la a departure
from the accepted rules of street
evangelism — but isn’t It ' like New
York?
“Not this ’ time” he announced
“Here the meter says four-twenty —
you take this I'm off” - He put a five-
dollar bill into the hand of the driver
and sthrted on an easy run toward
the west
He had caught sight of the smoke-
stacks and masts in the near distance
telling him that the motor-car had
almost if not quite reached the river
Such a vehicle could not disappear
and leave no trace It ought to be
easy to find Ahead of him flaring
lights alternated with the steady
piercing brilliance of the lncandea-
cents and both struggled against the
lingering daylight
Passage of any vehicle whatsoever
Hut examination showed that It waa
not too narrow moreover It opened
on a level with the street
“If yon really want her ebe'e In
there though what'll be lo pay If
you go In there without a permit I
don't know 'd hat to have to ar-
rest you”
"It might be the beat thing for me
If you did but I'm going In Yon
might wait hare a minute Captain If
you WIII7
"I will that more especially aa that
car waa a stunner for speed and I
already had my eye on her I'd like
to see you fish her out of that bole"
But llambleton waa out of earshot
and out of sight An empty passage
smelling of bilge-water and pent-up
gases opened suddenly on to the larg-
er dock Damp flooring with wide
cracks stretched off to the left on
the right the solid planking terminat-
ed suddenly In huge piles against
which the water capped with scum
and weeds splashed fitfully The riv-
er bank lined with docks seemed
lulled Into temporary quietness Ferry-
boats ateamed at their labors farther
up and down the river but the cur-
rents of travel left here and there a
peaceful quarter auch as this
Hambleton’a gaze searched the dock
and the river In a rapid survey The
dock itaelf was dim and vast with a
few workmen looking like anti In the
distance It offered nothing of en-
couragement but on the river fifty
yards away and getting farther away
every minute waa a yacht's tender
The figures of the two rowers were
quite distinct their oars making
rhythmical flashes over the water
but it was impossible to aay exactly
what freight human or otherwise it
carried It was evident that there
were people aboard possibly several
Even as Hambleton Btralned hla eyes
to see the outlines of the rowboat
merged into the dimness It was
pointed like a gun toward a - large
yacht lying at ancher further out In
the stream The vessel swayed pret-
tily to the current and slowly swung
Its dim light from tho masthead
“They’ve got her — out In that boat”
said Harqbleton to himself feeling
while the words were bn his lips
that he was drawing conclusions un-
warranted by the evidence Thus he
stood one foot on the slippery log
siding of the dock watching while the
little drama played Itself out so far
as his present knowledge could go His
Judgment still hung in suspense but
his senses quickened themselves to
detect if possible what the outcome
might be He saw: the tender ap-
proach the boat lie alongside saw
one sailor after another d ascend the
rope ladder saw a limp inert mass
lifted from the rowboat and carried
up as If It had been merchandise to
the deck of the yacht saw two men
follow the limp bundle over the gun-
wale and finally saw the boat herself
drawn up and placed In her davits
Hambleton’s mind at last slid to its
conclusion like a bolt into Its socket
"They’re kidnaping her without a
doubt” he said slowly For a moment
he was like one struck stupid Slowly
he turned to the dock looking up and
down its orderly but unprepossessing
clutter Dim lights shone here and
there and a few hands” were at work
at the farther end The dull silence
the unresponsive preoccupation of
whatever life was in sight made it all
seem as remote from him and from
this tragedy as from the stars
In fact it was Impersonal and re-
mote vto such a degree that Hamble-
ton’a practical mind halted yet an In-
stant In doubt whether there were
not some plausible- explanation The
thought came back to him suddenly
that the motor-car must be somewhere
In the neighborhood if his conclusion
were correct

AFTERNOON GOWN
New Head-Dress
Head-dresses for evening wear have
come decidedly Into vogue this season
and are made principally of narrow
bands studded with rhinestones or
other colored stones These are worn
rather low over the forehead show-
ing a short bang below Another style
is a black velvet cord with a rhine-
stone buckle and a black osprey worn
close to the hair a little to the side
of the back Bits of satin to match
the dress may be twisted around a
wire to form the head-dress and for
young girls tiny silk coses may be
added In a bunch or In half-wreath ef-

beauty knowing bow to take tbe
learner step by step as be saw tbe
way ahead He charmed all with his

nature of childhood he came with a
flood of artistic criticism that made
us yearn to draw and painL to depict
the delicate tracery of tree stems or
catch the varied tints of mountain
lake or cloud while his scorn for
careless unconscientious artwork
drove us to strive for the best
To the growing youth he brought
such a keen perception of moral beau-
ty aa mads us desire to realize some
noble ideal In life to enter seriously
some pursuit with a pure love or do-
ing beautiful work while hla con-
tempt for machine-made articles of
poor finish taught us to value those
noble craftsmen of all ages who took
infinite pains with all that was wortb
doing
To our ripening manhood and wom-
anhood he opened the ideals of unsel-
fish life where all might let their
hearts delight in the labor of their
bands and none should toll with suf-
fering for a miserable pittance while
his prophetic denunciations of the
hideous conditions prevailing In our
large manufacturing districts made
ua earnestly seek to probe these
sores and find their cure — Theosoph-
leal Path

straight and curled still persist but
only a few strands of hair are- cut

with puffs so soft and flat that they
look Jlke waves
