Chapter XXV---Continued Two watchmen on the ward) estate, who had heard the shots, (came ruaning up. * Melver tried to insist that Hel en go with him in his roadster to 'the house for help and a larger car, but she refused. When he returned with John, the chauffeur and ome of the big Ward machines, after telephoning ithe police and the doctor, Helen was kneeling over the wounded man just as he had left her. She d!d not raise her head when they stood beside her and seemed unconscious of their presence. But 'when John lifted her up and she heard her brother's voice, she eried out and ciung to him like a frightened child. The doctor arrived just as they ware carrying Captain Chale into the room to which Mrs, Ward her- self led them, The police came a moment later, While the physician, with Johua's assistance, was caring for his pa- tient, Mclver gave the officers what information he could and went with them to the scene of the shooting. He returned to the house after then officers had completed their examination of the spot and the immediate vicinity just in time to meet John, who was going out, Helen and her mother were with the doctor at the bedside of the assassin's victim, McIver wondered at the guish in John Ward's face. But captain Charlie's comrade only asked, steadily, "Did the police find anything, Jim?" "Not a thing," Mclver answered. "What does'the doctor say, John?" John turned away as if to hide his emotion and for a moment did not answer, Then he spoke those words so familiar to the men of Flanders' fields, "Charlie is going West, Jim. 1 must tring his fath- er and sicter., Would you mind waiting here until I return? Some- thing might develop, you know." "Certainly, I will stay, John --- anything that I can do--command me, 1" an- won't you? "Thank you, long." While he waited there alone, Jim Melver's mind went back ov- er the strange incidents of the evening: Helen's visit to the Wha- ley home and her coming to him. Swiftly he reviewed their conver- sation What was it that had so awakened Helen's deep concern for the laboring class? He had before noticed her unusual inter- est in the strike and in the geu- eral industrial situation--but to- night--nhe had pever dreamed that she would go so far, Why had she continued to refuse an answer to his pleading? What was Charlie Martin doiny in that neighborhood gt that hour? How had Helen re- cognized him so quickly and sure. fly in the darkness? The man, as 'these and many other unanswer- able questions crowded upon him, felt a strange foreboding. Mighty forces beyond his understanding seemed stirring aboot him. As one feels the gathering of a storm in the night, be felt the mysterious movements of elements beyond his control, He was disturbed suddenly by the opening of an outer door be- bind him. Turning quickly, he faced Adam Ward. Before Mclver could speak, the Mill owner motioned him to be sil- ent, Wondering, watched with of that Jim--1T1'll not be McIver obeyed apd amazement as the house closed the softly toward him.

Unuoticed, Helens had come iun- to the room behind them. Iu pas- ! sing the open door she had seea her father and had realized instant- ly his condition. But the little had heard him say was not at all unusual to her, and she at- tached no special importance to his words. Adam Ward was like a child, abashed in her presence. She looked at Mciver appealing- "Father is excited and nerv- iy. } He is not at all well, you Mus, Jim, jknow." {1 Meclver spoke with gentle auth- lority, "If you will permit we, I will go with him to his room for a little quiet talk. And then, per- haps, he can sleep. What do you Mr. Ward?" "Yes--yes," agreed Adam, hur- piedly. Helen looked her gratitude and Mclver led the Mill owner away.

"Jim --I--I--do they think that I--" "Shut up!" growled McIver, 1 don't want to hear another word, I have heard too much now. Chare lie Martin stays right here in this house and your family will give him every attention. His father and sister will be here, too, and you'll not open your mouth a- gainst them. Do you understand?" "Yes--yes,"" whispered the now thoroughly frightened Adam. "Don't you dare even to speak to Mrs. Ward or John or Helen as you have to me. And for God's sake pull yourself together and re- member--you don't know any more than the rest of us about this business--you. were in your roomy when you heard the shots."

He turned sbruptly the room, But as he went down the stair- way, Mclver drew his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the perspiration from his brow. "What in God's name," he ask- ed himself, "did Adam Ward's ex cited fears mean? What terrible thing gave birth to his wad words?! What awful pattern was this that] the unseen forces were weaving? And what part was be, with hi love for Helen, destived to fill in it all?" That his life was being somehow woven Into the design, he felt certain--but how and to what end? And again the man in all his strength felt that dread foreboding, and left When Peter Martin and hi} daughter arrived with John at the big house on the hill, Mrs. Warc met them at the door, The old workman betrayed no consciousness of the distance the years of Adam Ward's materia} prosperity had placed betwen these two families that ip the old-housec days had lived in such intimacy. Mary hesitated, It must have been that to the girl, who saw ii between herself and the happy ful- fillment of her womanbood, the distance seemed even greater than it actually was, vet But her hesitation was only foil an instant, One full Jook into the' gentle face that was so marked by! the years of uncomplaining disap- pointment and patient unhappiness and Mary knew that in the heart of John Ward's mother the separ- ation had brought po chapge. In the arms of her own mother's dearest friend the youpg woman found, even as a child, the love she needed to sustain her in that hour, : When they entered the room where Captain Charlie lay uncons- cious, Helen rose from her watch beside the bed and beld out her hands to ber girlhood playmate, And In her gesture there was a full surrender--a plea for par. don. Humbly she offered -- loy- ingly she invited--while she held her place beside the man who was slowly passing Into that shadow where all class forms are lost, as it she claimed the right before a court higher than the petty courts of human customs. No word was spoken--no word was needed. The daughter of Peter Martin and the daughter of Adam Ward knew that the bond of their sisterhood was sealed, In that wretched home fin ths | Flats, little Maggie Whaley smiled in her sleep as she dreamed of Ler princess lady. The armed guards at their sta- tions around Mclver's dark and silent factory kept their watch, The Mill, under th2 cloud of smoke, sang the deep-voiced song of industry as the night shift car- ried on.

EARLY CHURCH HYMANS BESI (Toronto Telegram) Comments of a puoiic speaker in Toronto upon the superiority of modern church hymns over those of 30 and 40 years ago will not win very wide support. Nor can the statement be backed up strongly with evidence, at a time when ex- clusive singing of old-time hymns is put forward with increasing fre- quency to attract people to special church services. Many {improve- ments are claimed for new ideas injected into modern church work. Scientific surveys are always being made to demonstrate the spiritual increase thus compelled. Old-fash- ioned churchgoers are sometimes baffled by facts and figures mar shalled to confound their belief that former methods were better. Bul ers of the grand old hymns wil! never admit that any church music produced in recent years can com- all the | riul power of * his strong- hymns of the earlier period. = J pare with the fervor, comfort. and majesty of the revere? chures | THREE DEATHS RESULT FROM TORNADO AND 20 PERSONS INJURED Kansas City, wo.,, April 5.--Torn- adoes chimaxed a general wind and rain storm that caused at least three deaths, left more than a score injur- ed and damaged buildings at widely separated points in the southwest yesterday.
