Pshaw! was wbat he said. Morning came at last, and with difficulty I made my way to my home. It seemed as If I must die then and there when I found the house closed, shades drawn, door locked and no sign or squad of a human being about the place. Hut pride and Indignation came swiftly to the rescue. I feared some one would sec me trying In vain to enter my own home and turned quickly away and walked on, thinking as 1 walked what my next step should be. I was very Indignant with Donald for punishing me so severely for braving his displeasure. Now I would frighten him a little. Probably he had gone to my sister's or bis brother's. He knew I could find him easy enough. He had been too severe, cruel. Now I would take my turn. I had a roll of bills in my putse that Donald had given me the day before. I would go out of town for a day or two and let him find me If he could.

Dr. R. A. Torrey, whose singularly successful career as an evangelist has encompassed practically every nation and every country of the globe within the past few yeajs, Is the general in command of the campaign. Behind him and the ministers who are loined with him In the effort to drive sin from Chicago Is what is known as the Laymans Evangelistic council, a body made up of business men of Chicago, many of them prominent in financial, commercial .and Industrial circles.

The campaign In Berlin was Interesting in that Count Wiebohn and Count llernsdoif, two of the best known and most respected members of the German nobility, aeted as Interpreters for Dr. Torrey.

Interpretation of the words of the evangelist In a manner that would he the most effective with the audience. Dr. Torrey lias spent much of the time since his return from the world tour In evangelistic work In this country. In some respects he believes that Sunday, March 17, of the present year was one of the most remarkable days he ever witnessed. Ho was holding evangelistic services In Buffalo. There were three meetings, one for women, one for men and boys, and the third for men only. At the meeting for young men and hoys 702, ranging In age from 15 to :5 years, catne forward and professed Christianity. Bishop Horry, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who was present at this service, said to Dr. Torrey: "I never saw such a sight before. This Is Pentecost." In all there were 1,002 conversions In Buffalo that day. Such, In brief, is the evangelistic history of the man who hus been to head the laymen's movement to drive the devil from Chicago." With the record of accomplishment which Dr. Torrey has, and with. the Interest that already has developed in meetthese remarkable evangelistic ings,. there Is every reason to believe that what the laymens council expects will come true, and that, before the end of next month Chicago will have had a religious awakening such as it never has experienced.

I recalled every possible acquaintance I bad ever had that lived In the city. I decided upon an old school friend, whom I had not seen since she married and went to the city, and of whom Donald knew nothing. I hunted her up, found her living humbly but comfortably, and quite delighted to see me. I told her I was taking a little outing and would like to engage a room for several days, she was so con venient to an that I wished to visit. Little she dreamed of the tragedy I lived during those days. 1 bought the dally papers and scanned their columns, hoping for some word meant for none of the thousands ol readers but myself. All in vain. My courage failed me so that I was afraid to go home. Then I began to scheme again, but ever? scheme failed. Little by little my pride and anger oozed away, and al last I was ready to go down on my knees before the whole world and beg my husband to take me back. Then I went to. my friend and bad and set out on my ui her good-bhappy journey homeward. The thoughl of my husband now filled me with terror; he had grown into a sort of ogrs during the last few days. I was in such a fever of suspense as I neared the house that I could hard!y breathe. If It should be closed still! I did not know what happened aftci that, until 1 heard some one saying In the tenderest of voices: "Dilly Dear, what is It? Are you frightened? Are you 111?

I just put my arm around his neck and cried so violently He smoothed my I could not speak. hair and said "Dilly Dear, Dilly Dear, until I was quieter. "What would you say to me, Donald, if I went to the play?" I asked, as soon as I could speak. "Do you care so much about it? Is it that has sent you Into hysterics? "Just supposing 1 go, what wllltyou do?" I persisted. "Why, do? Why I shall have to gc with you, I suppose. And it you ar going to take it to heart like this w had better go. Hut, Dilly Dear, I am surprised at you." And then I began to laugh, and laughed so long that Donald begged me to tell him what I was laughing . or.

It Is doubtful whether such a comprehensive campaign against sin In all its hideous aspects has been undertaken In Chicago since the days of Dwight L. Moody. It Is possible that the present Gospel campaign may reach proportions beyond anything of the kind ever undertaken in this y city. Rev. Dr. Torrey is an experienced evangelist. He la practically fresh from his experiences In an around-tho-worltrip ahich astounded everybody in the amount of Interest created, and in the results which followed the brief engagements of himself and his assistant, C. M. Alexander, who is now on another trip around the world, necessitated by the Illness of the great Gospel singer's wife, but made profitable from a moral standpoint by evangelistic work. Dr. Torrey, before he started on his evangelistic tour of the world, was pastor of the Moody church In this city, and superintendent of the Moody Institute for a number of years. He was closely associated with Mr. Moody and managed the world's campaign of that Illustrious evangelist. It was during the eight years In which Dr. Torrey was pustor of the Moody church that he acquired the basis of his reputation as an evangelist. As he himself describes It, he was always an "evangelist pastor." Each year of his pastorate was a continuous revival campaign. Especially was religious fervor Induced during the summer months. During the last year of his pastorate over 2.000 persons embraced the faith of Christ and joined his church. In addition to these there were many more who were converted to a better life, and who but of united with other churches whom no actual count was kept. Dr. Torrey himself is a most Interesting personality. He was born In Hoboken, N. Y., January 3, 183(1. Early In life his father, who was a loprominent Democratic politician, cated In Brooklyn. N.
