capitalist, traveler,

world and cynic,
heard tlx* ringing
of the bell of the
(| 11 a i 111 colonial
church, mid ir ecalled tender memories
of the days of his youth.
Following its sound he reached the
edifice, which stood In the midst of a
neglected graveyard full of g™™"
stones, many of which were fallen
broken In pieces. Tangles of bush and
brier were on every hand.
Holering the house of worship, which
be found to he already filled, he tnod-
ruly took a seat near the door and un-
tie the gallery of the choir.
The day was Master, and the plain
oaken altar bore large vases of sw
flowers, whose fragrance had stolen
| over the audience room and made the
nir of thp April morning grateful with
its presence.
Soon the little organ sent forth n
peal announcing a prelude, and the
young map looked bored. l ut In a mo-
ment lie assumed an attentive, rapt at
titude, and ripples of glad sunshine
played over his features.
A voice of marvelous sweetness rang
out within the narrow walls of the
sanctuary. It was full, rich, clear, di
vine almost, in its expression.
Ilradnor thought of the nngel song
on the plain of Bethlehem, and clos
his eyes, as though to shut out all si-lit
'.est the glorious harmonies be lost to
him.
lie did not think of the singer, wheth-
er old or young, nor of the triumphant
words of ♦he hymn she sang. It was
her voice, so intense in its earnestness,
so flutelike in its softness,yet so human,
withal, that had entered his soul.
Thenceforth he had no heart for the
prayers, nor the words that were read,
I nor the sermon that was spoken. He j
I sat as one in n deep sleep, from which i
he only roused when the ineiTablc voice
rang out in its rich cadences. Others
mingled with it, but these he did not
hear.
When the services were ended he
slowly made his way to the village inn,
where he had been stopping during the
past week. There he inquired of the
landlord concerning the owner of the

White Sulphur Springs was filled with
people from all over the country and
among the throngs was Victor Ilradnor,
who had gone thither not so much for
his health as to get away from the heat
of tbe city and the ennui that at times
oppressed him.
The evening was a delightful one in
August, and Ilra.ltior was sented upon
the veranda of his hotel, holding high
divine vocalization above them all, soft
and gentle withal as the zephyr at even-
t'.dc.
lie was glad when the services were
ended, because their suggestion,
brought too freshly before him the
recollections of the Easter day of the
previous year, lie felt he must go
through life haunted by n voice, the
owner of which he durst not look upon
even should he chance to meet her, be-
cause she was the wife of another.
Passing into the outer air, he walked
along aimlessly pursued by the object
of his love, the voice that continued to
haunt him. lie was aroused out of his
abstraction by a sudden scream anil
then another.
I Just ahead of him a great burly fel-
low, a thievish beggar, it would seem,
had seized a woman, on elegantly-]
dressed lady, hy the arm, while her
companion, a young and exquisitely
beautiful female, regarded the man
with looks of horror upon her refined
face.
Striding rapidly forward, Urailnor
reached out and grasped the knave,
who had not observed his approach, by
tlie throat and threw him licavlly to the
ground. The rascal lay stuiine.l for a
moment, and, then reviving, gathered
himself quickly together, and hurried
away, muttering imprecations as he
staggered along. ^
"We had given him money, sir, said
the older of the ladies, "but ho dc
manded more, all we had, in fact atul,
and—" she was greatly excited and was
so overcome that she broke fairly down
"Many of the Roman beggars are very
bold," he said, reassuringly, "but you
will hear no more from liiin. But here
is my card," he said, drawing out his

Touched by HIS hand divine!
