Show TWO SINGERS AND A SONG. Bjr KSTKLUNX BENNETT, (Oopynxbl, MO, by DUj Story Pub, The list Dotes of the voluntary died away in a whisper. For a moment the restless congregation was hushed. Only the muffled roar of the stamp mills on the opposite side of the gulch broke the silence with its mou- otonous" reminder of something dearer than a day of rest. Through the open windows of the rtrnreh came the odoT of pines and the damp sweet tiesh-nes- s of spring A small boy looked wistfully out and thought of the crocuses blooming under the rocks on the hillside. A young girl, with her eyes on her prayer book, let her fancy stray to a winding mountain road, and a young mining expert driving alone. Into the waiting stillness of the church floated the first faint, sweet strains of tne processional , but above them clear and shrill rang the notes of a popular tune a man w&a whistling in the street. Following the glitter-in- f cross down the aisle came the vested' choir, led by the thin, shrill treble of the little children. In the rear walked the soloists, marking the words of the hymn with dumb moving One of lips to save their voices. these was a stranger; the other. In spite of dar't rumors concerning his fitness to wear a surplice, was the favorite at St. Johns. He could sing like an angel, if be didnt live like one. His handsome, dissipated face, brought out in sharp contrast the pure, almost spiritual beauty of the new tenor. a the singers filed into their places and the belated worshipers who bad been detained in the vestibule hurried to their pews, a striking looking woman followed the usher . down the aisle to a seat. The people in the pew crowded closer together to make room for her, and some one handed her a prayer book. No one noticed her again until her voice rang out on the chant. Then the people turned to look at her. None of the women knew her; most of the men did.

But in this boys delicate, clear-cu- t face there' was purity and, strength, something De Vera had believed in years ago and had lost. And Errol, the new tenor, seemed to look at him across the chancel with the reproving eyes of his own lost youth. On the te deum he could hear the tenor with Ha peculiar thrill and from the congregation came tne mellow contraltd notes of the woman, who was, a stranger there. With a quick sense of mockery De Vere closed his lips and with a movement of bis hand to his throat shook his head at the choir leader. He sang his solo just before the sermon. In a voice a trifle husky and strange, using all his art to conceal S lack he had never realized before. He didnt know what the sermon was about. He hardly knew whether there was one. He was waiting for the solo that waa to follow. A face migbr deceive him, but never a voice. The sermon was ended,, the offertory taken, and the ushers standing expectantly In the rear of the church when the organ rolled out the fami- - , . .. liar prelude- - - "There is a green hill far away," aang Erroll, and everybody listened. The voice was a rich, sweet tenor rpbusto, showing Immaturity, some glaring faults of technic and a lack of that smoothness end finish that Co.) the gospel of love and right living. It opened up the gates of heaven and made honesty, and purity and even iation worth while. He died to make us good. and the listeners wondered that their hearts had ever g.own hard and their lives gone wrong Thtre was a hush over fhe church when the singer finished, broken only by the stifled sob of a woman. Men who spent six days of the week in a rush of business which knew neither music nor religion furtively wiped their ees; a soprano In the choir lowed her head on the back of the seat in front of her. and cried softly WHEN BACK Bad hacks are caused by sick kidneys.

De Vere sat apparently unmoved, but his face was pale and his lips were set in a thin straight line. In the crowded vestibule at the close of the service he met the woman with the voice and Joined her. She looked startled, but the hard, dark face softened a little and De Vere showed no trace of embarrassment, nor concern as he walked beside her down the steps and out Into the bright Bunllght with the church people be knew so well crowding him on all sides.
