that to thee? Follow thou me."

WHEN Rollin started down the street the afternoon that Jasper stood
looking out of his window he was not thinking of Rachel Winslow and
did not expect to see her anywhere. He had come suddenly upon her as
he turned into the avenue and his heart had leaped up at the sight
of her. He walked along by her now, rejoicing after all in a little
moment of this earthly love he could not drive out of his life.

"I have just been over to see Virginia," said Rachel. "She tells me
the arrangements are nearly completed for the transfer of the
Rectangle property."

"Yes. It has been a tedious case in the courts. Did Virginia show
you all the plans and specifications for building?"

"We looked over a good many. It is astonishing to me where Virginia
has managed to get all her ideas about this work."

"Virginia knows more now about Arnold Toynbee and East End London

way to reach the men I once knew and win them into more useful
lives."

He stopped suddenly as if he were almost afraid to go on. Rachel did
not venture to suggest anything.

"I have been a member of the same company to which you and Virginia
belong," continued Rollin, beginning again. "I have made the pledge
to do as I believe Jesus would do, and it is in trying to answer
this question that I have been doing my work."

"That is what I do not understand. Virginia told me about the other.
It seems wonderful to think that you are trying to keep that pledge
with us. But what can you do with the club men?"

"You have asked me a direct question and I shall have to answe
