First
Prof. Crosby, on his wily to visit a
friend In the country, meets Mis Tabor,
whom he had met at a Christmas notice
party the winter before. An accident lo
the trolley car '.eaves them stranded nfur
tne Tabor home, where they are made
welcome, but under peculiar condition.
During the night Crosby Is asked to leave
the house, Miss Tabor saying icoodbye
to him and requesting him not to call
again. At the Inn he learns that Tabor
Is concerned In some way with a burly
Italian, named Cftruccl. When he goes in
to his friend's home, he finds Miss Tabor
also a guest there, and Just as they are
getting on well together, she Is taken
away by Dr. Reld, whom Crosby after
wards le.-.nw is a brother-in-law of Miss
To Dor. having wedded her sister Miriam,
who Is now dead. The mystery of the
Tabor household Is Increased, though,
when Crosby gets a hasty call to go with
Miss Tabor on a mysterious mission to
the clty, where he rescues Mrs. Carucct,
who is Hhella, Miss Tabor's nurse, fru.n
the effect of a brutal attack by her hus
band Plans arc laid to get rid of the
Italian, by sending him out of the coun
try, to relieve Mrs. Tabor of his presence,
Mr. Tabor tells Crosby his wife ha nevsr
been qulto welt since the death of her
daughter. Macl-ean, a newspaper reporter,
bids Crosby In gaining admission to a
spiritualistic seance, where the dead
daughter Is supposed to be "material
ized." After the seance Crosby discovers
Dr. Reld and ft. stranger drugging CarUc
el. Intending to have him "shanghaied"
aboard and outgoing steamer. He makes
an enemy 01 item by interfering. A call
comes from Tabor, telling him that Mrs.
'labor has suddenly rone alone to the
Voity, and asking Crosby to look afUr
her. lie succeeds in locating her, and wit
nesses a strange interview Between Mrs.
Tabor and a man who turns out to be
Dr. Paulus, a celebrated alUnlst. Crosby
and Sheila get Mrs. Tabor back home,
and there Crosby meets Miss Tabor for
an Interview that promises to lead to tht
clearing up of the mystery. They con
less their mutual love, and agree to work
together for Mrs. Tabor's recovery.
Crosby meets Dr. Reld, and they settle
down for an explanation. After discuss
ing the sltuutlon fully, Crosby returns to
the city, where he meets McLean, nnd
together tbey go to attend another
seance, where they encounter Mrs. Tabor.
Tho usual phenomena are presented
table-lifting and the like, and then the
"spirit" of "Miriam" appears again, and
Mrs. Tabor questions it. In the midst of
proceedings Crosby switches on the lights
and Mrs. Tabor faints. The medium Is
furious, but Crosby calls his bluff, and
has Mrs. Tabor cared for, when Mr, Tabor
appears. He takes Mrs. Tabor home,
while Crosby goes to consult with Dr.
Paulus. to determine If the nature of
Mrs. Tabor's hallucination Is such as
leaves any hope for cure. Dr. Paulus
agrees that tho visits to the seances have
been a contributing cause to Mrs. Tabor's
condition, and when they join the family
they have a general consultation as to
what action should bo taken. Crosby
suggests they get hold of the medium
and try to make her confess her fraud.
Dr. Paulus succeeds in getting' Mrs.
Mahl, the medium, to- visit tho Tabor
home, and Tabor, Crosby, Reld and
Paulus enter Into a conversation with
her. leading up to the proposed "ma
terialising" seance. Mrs. Mahl is In
clined to be recalcitrant. Some little per
suasion is used, and she consents to un
deceive Mrs. Tabor. A "seance" is ar
ranged, and "Miriam" Is called up. At
the proper time Mrs. Mahl explains to
Mrs. Tabor how she has been deceived.
The explanation Is a success, and Mrs.
Tabor faints. Dr. Paulus takes her In
charge, and soon revives her. arranging
so she will see only her own when she
returns to consciousness. Mrs. Tabor's
first qeustlon on recovering Is for the
doctor.

had a desire to lay nhvsltat hamU iinm

"Doctor," Reld broke out, "to -Jo-l's
sake "
Dr. Paulus never turned his h'd. "Be
still, young man," he said quietly, and
Reld's voice died Into a stimraor ns ho
went steadily on.
"If It waa cruel, this way to rhow you

For you have all these that are living,

old story of casting out devils. And It 's
good to be sure that the daughter is at

understand It all very clearly. You have
been sick, but you are going to be well,
not well all at once, remember, but hettc

even when things seem confused and un-'

have never given my word falsely or for
encouraging alone. Time and these love!
ones will help, hut most of all your own
will will make your life what It should
be, will bring you back to happiness."
It Is Impossible to describe the convinc
ing strength of the man as he stood
towering among us: the very compellent
force of his Individuality was reflected In
the dawning belief- In Mrs. Tabor's eyes.
Like a child she laid her little hand In
the doctor's great one.
"I am going to try, doctor." she said.
"I see that I have been sick, but with
all you dear people I shall get well."
And for the first time hor eyes left the
doctor's face nnd turned to the rest of
us who had drawn a little apart, but as
they met mine their expression changed
and a flicker of the old terror came Into
them, a terror that was reflected- in my
own heart.
"George," she asked sharply, "what Is
Mr. Crosby doing here?"
"Why, my dear" Mr. Tabor stam
mered. "I know. I remember now." She stag
gered to her feet, and the old terror was
upon her face. "I meant to tell you
about It. Mr. Crosby has not been hon
est with us. I came Into the room a
whlle ago and found him with Lady,
and" Bhe broke off suddenly, looking,
quickly from one to another of our
startled faces. "What Is the matter with
you all?" she cried; then In that level,
hollow tone we had learned to fear. "I
see now. You know you havo known all
along; and that was the secret you were
keeping from me."
No one spoke. She looked- downward
at her hands, then glanced again In a
puzzled way from one lo another of us,
Mr. Tabor was the picture of despair,
pld and white and worn, his whole
strength shaken by the vision of pur
final failure. Lady stood' erect, her color
coming and going, trogedy In her eyes;
and near her Sheila, a gaunt and sturdy
comfort, sure In the Inherited wisdom of
homely faith. And as I looked at these
two women, each in her own way upneld
beyond her strength of her understand
ing, I made my resolve. I glanced at
Dr. Paulus, but he mado no sign. If I
must take the responsibility of an an
swer upon myself I determined that at
the worst I would leave no Issue of the
fight unknown; If we had failed, we
must measure the whole depth of our
failure. v
"Mrs, Tabor," I said, "thero Is no se
cret any more. Lady Is 'going to marry
me."
She gavo me one look. "All that I had
left," she whispered; and then again
she began to cry, but this time softly,
turning away from us toward the win
dow at the end of the room. Sheila fol
lowed and put an arm about her, and the
two stood together apart from us under
the fading light, while above their heads
the canary burst out Into a mockery of
song. No one knew what to say or do;
but after a little, Reld's Itch for efficiency
drove him Into speech..
"If It comes right down to this,
mother" he began. A look from Lady
dried the words upon his tongue, and the
silence fell once more. Then slowly and
confidently Lady came over to me and
slipped her dear hand tnt) mine.
"You are right. Laursnce," she said,
"the truth Is best for all of us now."
"Mrs. Tabor," said Dr. Paulus, "you
do not lose your daughter, but gain. I
think, a very good son. Indeed It Is Mr.
Crosby who has helped us much to our
knowledge that you were going to be well
and strong again."
The calm strange voice broke In at just
the precise Instant to relieve the tension.
Mrs. Tabor looked up.
"Oh, you need not be afraid, doctor,"
she said, ns she wiped away her tears,
"but you do well to remind me. I know
I know there's nothing really the mat
ter with me except that I'm a Utile tired,
And goodness gracious, what , are you
good people ftandlng there so stiff and
solemn for? It's all right! You've made
me understand. Turn the light on, Hhella
and Lady, what have you done with
my ring?" She came across to where
wo stood together, and took a hand of
each In her own. She glanced over her
shoulder at Paulus, "and you mustn't
any of you think of going away this
weather, The house Is big enough to
hold us and, Mr. Crosby. I'm going to
put you In Miriam's room."

The Need of Kindness :.:
lly ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
(Copyright. HU, by the Star Company.)
Out from The Vicarage, Stockton-on-Lees,
Bcotland, there comes the follow
ing letter to me, written in the Christmas
season:
"I am sending
the enclosed, as I
am surolt will pain
you ns much as
It has me. I do
not know If you
wrote It at all, but
am quite sure you
never meant such
a heathenish senti
ment to Inftuencft
tbt World; and at
Christmas time,
too, when Christ,
the God of All, Is
In ft v a r y o n e's
thoughts. No
doubt you will be
nble to withdraw It before next Christ
mas. "MARY MARTIN,"
The "heathenish sentiment ' Mary Mar
tin enclosed was a quatrain written by
me several years ago. It reads as fol
lows: Bo many gods; so many creeds;
So many gods, so many creeds;
80 many ways that wind and wlndi
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
I do not know who Mary Martin Is.
Dougtless she Is the wife or the daughter
of the vicar at Stock-on-Lees.
On can only breathe a little prayer of
pity and sorrow for the poor souls who
are obliged to listen to the theology
which emanates from thst vicarage.
It must be tilled with threats of God's
anger at all who "fell through Adam's
sin," and It must breathe much more of
the flames of hell than of the eweet
winds of heaven.
It must Indeed be very old-fashioned,
very unwholesome, very dreary and
dreadful theology to havo educated a
woman's mind In such a narrow and
bigoted rut as Mary Martin's mind shows
Itself to be in this letter.
The quatrain was written because of
tho consciousness In the writer' mind
of the need upon the earth today of the
simple religion of klndness-a religion
which, If practised hourly In the home.
In the business mart, In the social world
and In the churches, would banish crime,
discord and gloom from the hearts of
men.
The old-fashioned theologies have had
their day. They mutt go. They caused
bloody wars; they put upon the torture
rack, they burned at the stake; they
boiled In kottles of oil; they slowly
starved those who would not believe as
the leaders of these theological schools
believed,
Kuch cruel and loveless religions have
done more to bring suffering and sorrow
upon the earth than all other causes com
bined, More blood has flown, more com
munities been devastated, more lives
have been sacrificed at tho command of
bigoted minds, In the name of religion'
than through greed, lust 'of power and
desire of gain all united.
This la a highly spiritual age. But Its
spirituality Is not doctrinal.
Everywhere In the churches and with
out the churches, souls are craving for
the creedlnss religion; the religion of
Vractleal klndneas; th religion of love. They scatter Joy and beauty on their
hope, helpfulness, the lell.ioa of wlllnt,n grtutr0 t0 t Eternill

Thinking of Christ, and hearing what

Unto the Me of me, I turned to ask:
What can we do for Him, and by what
task
Or through whut sacrifice can we pro
claim Our mlghtly love, and glorify His name?
Whereon ' Myself replied (thinking of
Christ),
Has not God's glory unto Him sufficed?
What need has He of temples that men
raise?
What need has He of any songs of pralso?
Not sacrifice or offerings needs He.
(Thinking of Christ, so spake Myself to
me
The rivers from the mountain do not try
To feed the source from which they gain

They pay their debt by flowing on atid
