Surely it is His will that. I shall ministej unto thee." She now felt assured that ha meant her no harm; that ha regarded her as sacred and himself as her servant, but his answer raised a fear that he considered himself her only aarvsint, and that he would allow no one but himself to serve her. 'Therefore she remained silent, revolving what was expedient and what was possible as her laid hold upon the head-rail with both hands.

Then, nerving herself for the agony, she bade him pull. His touch was torture to her, yet he was tender and reverent and pulled as she had instructed him; steadily, firmly, straight. When the strain was felt she screamed, but maintained her position. Perspiration gushed from every pore and when the joint snapped into place she fainted. When she revived the Prophet was kneeling in prayer at the altar.

She bade him bring water and with great difficulty she sat rp her place and bathed the swollen member. Then she said: "Bring bandages that I may bind it up." "There are none here. I will pray to the Father and he will provide." Asain he knelt at the altar and prayed. This time as a confiding child asks a simple sift from an indulgent parent he asked for linen wherewith to make bandages a.s the Chosen Virgin might have need. While the Prophet prayed Miss btel- la tore from one of her muslin skirts as much material as she required and made bandages with which she tightly bound the injured limb.

Having concluded his prayer tho Prophet returned to her. Seein? that she was already provided with the bandages he evinced no surprise whatever and said in the most matter-of- fact manner: There was soothing in his voice, bis words his touch; c-r perhaps it was only in the fact of human presence; and she was calmed. She began to tilk upon subjects familiar to her. it was to her sisters; sometimes to Bell Mortoa; most of all, to the adjutant. After a time the Prophet released her bands and repaired to the altar before vvhich he so frequently prayed, and again communed his simple, reliant way with that Father whose will ruled his soul; whose benifioence and love he rratefuliy and devoutly acknowledged; whose favor and otection for the Virgin he besought in fervent words.

Surely the pro.yer was heard by the No no. not twenty years! I have not slept twenty years? But you look older' I look older! wonder If 1 am verv old? I have been I wonder" how long! It must be a terribly long time since I came here!" She fell back and drew a coil of Her lonr shining black hair before her face'half fearful that she was now an old 'woman whose hair had grown white through the blearhing of years. She felt that it was years, more years than she could guess, since she left Barton! Tears flowed from her closed eyes. Over her stood the Prophet still si- Icnrly extending the water toward her. When her tearo ceased and her heavy, regular respirations told him that she slept again he put aside the vessel and resumed his devotions betnre the altar All through the night she slept and when the morning broke upon the world without, she aw.eke so much refreshed that she was able to rise to a posture.

immediately the Prophet came in and offered her food which she ate without knowing what it was or from whence it came. Having eaten, she begged the to assist her to the door that she might once again see the bright light of day and once more breathe the pure air of the hills. Without answer he went out and she heard him remove the fastenings of the ironclad door. -Then he returned and gathered her in his arms as tenderly as a young mother gathers her first born, from its cradle, and bore her to the outs.de where he placed her upo a stool, with her back resting against one of the great stones of the W2i.il Leaving her there ha silently went again into his hut.

This chamber waa long, -ride and very irregular in form; so low that the Prophet could not quite stand erect in it.

There were three chairs without backs, given to the Prophet by the people; a largji pitcher. a few cheap dishes of odd a wash 'Supreme Protector! When the supplicant arose the water caught his sight he rememoered the purpose for which it was desired. He took the pitcher and pcurcd the fresh, pure, Cooling contents upon the bound limb the delirious sufferer until the band- were thoroughly saturated; and from that hour he kept them so, day md night, toilingly caring for her with 1 patient tenderness born of thai love which is deeper and greater than the love of youth and maiden, because it was a love of sacred duty and a reverential deference to the will of Him in whom was uxed the faith of the loving servant. That service was the purest religion. It was the willing, joyful obedience of the trustful disciple who regarded the sufferer as the One Chosen, the one taken out from among all His creatures, to give to the sons of earth that Son whose first coining had opened to all the gates of eternal life and whose second coming was to purify the earth, free the world from sin and emancipate men from temptation.

with melted fats in which floated a bit of cotton cloth, one end hanging over tile edge of the pan and burning. This lamp stood upon, a small broken stand which was arranged and draped as an altar with curtains of old cotton prints and an open Bible was upon the altar teside the burning lamp. By the dim light upon the altar Miss Stella was able to see that the apartment was only a chamber in the drift if a coal mine and she concluded that hut had been built at the entrance an old mine that the drift might be hus utilized for habitation. Having deposited his burden upon he bed the Prophet approached the al- ar where he knelt and prayed, fervent- praising Jehovah for his goodness ind mercy and long-suffering. He earnestly petitioned for the speedy re- lemption of the world from sin and death and the elect from suffering.

While the Prophet prayed Miss Stella reflected that she must depend upon him for relief and release. Sbe.real- that to control him she must humor his hallucination with which she aad been familiar since long before she was able io comprehend it. Although her suffering was excruciating her own overpowering individuality and the wonderful strength of will and amazing self command that she possessed enabled to see the lighter side of her unfortunate position and she uttered her reflections to her own ear "1 certainly was not born for the stage: I know that; bnt before this limited and partial audience I must venture to assume the role of the New Virgin anil I may do so with reasona- bls anticipation of success; but I shall not demand an When the. Prophet arose she said to Mm: i Bw)ahm fc "In the hollow of His band hath the service; to bring fresh water, to get her a drink; to minister to her; or to ye ana ye shall 'no at the altar whereon stood the thing will he withhold from thorn ever-burning appeal to tie that ask Why do the sons of refuse to learn that they should ask for what they want and want only that which is good?" Miss Stella emptied the remainder of tfee water upon the bandages and asked the Prophet to bring more which he did at once without remonstrance or reluctance. When that was all used she sent Mm again.

This time he was gone long and she feared that he had her and his errand and had I perhaps gone away for one of his frequent evangelizing trips. Her spirits fell; the gloom of the place acted upon her mind. A great fear knew not intangible hut ten-iule overcame her. The air of the subterraneous cell stifled her; the place became an awful impenetrable prison in the in- accesable bosom of the earth; why did not the Prophet return? Could he have forgotten the Virgin? Had he wandered away to preach among the people as he often did? Oh, the horror, the awful horror of the place! She could not endure it; she must escape! She got ap to go out but she had not the strength to stand up and she fell to the floor. Feebly she crawled back upon the bed.

She cried aloud for help. She was sure that hours had passed since the Prophet's departure! She would be left there perish alone under the earth out of sight of men! Forever out of the sight of men! An awful agony of terror was upon her; the horror was greater than she could bear; her reason abdicated to terror; her mind became chaos; delirium directed her imagination. She was no longer alone. She saw about her a multitude of living terrors in distorted forms; hideous dwairfs, horribte giants, grinning clownish gnomes, impish pigmies, ferocious hobgoblins, inhuman creatures in human, forms, with of hawks and owls and. ngly birds of prey, irtiose hands and feet were tal- ousi and whose talons and beaks pinched and pierced and tore tier limb! The whole cave was filled with repulsive reptiles and dangerous beasts.

They hustled and fought each other for space and opportunity to attack Eer. They clung to the and hung from the low roof. She was bnriedl in wriwling llnards; bats in her behalf. Day after day, night after fever and her delirium continued and neither the patient nor the nurse knew aught of the flight of time or the mul- of days. One afternoon she awoke from a sleep and saw the Prophet kneeling at the altar.

Hemembering that he had gone after water and how frightened she had been by his long absence, she thought that she had fallen asleep and that he had returned while she slept She asked: "Did you get the water?" The Prophet arose and approached her, and she, wondering why her voice founded so strange, continued: Please let me have the water? I must bathe my limb." She made an effort to sit up bat couid not rise. What is the matter with me? I am so weak! I feel terribly tired, yet I have been asleep and ought to feel rested! How strange my voice sounds." 'I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, saying, 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make His path straight' "Please help me to sit up?" He gently assisted her and she added: "Thank you! Won't you please take the pitcher and pour water on those bandages till I tell you to stop? I must keep them wet or this hurt may become serious. But it does not pain me now; before I went to sleep the pain was fearful." She examined the injured limb and was utterly bewildered. The inflammation was gone and there was not even a trace of soreness. She sat in silence, her mind fixed upon her wonderful recovery.

Motionless and silent, with the water pitcher extended toward her, stood the faithful Prophet, unnoticed, for she was endeavoring to collect the fragmentary recollections of many days of anguish, many nights of iiorrors. many hours of fright and fear and pain and torture. And yet she could not realize that she had slept beyond a few hours! Still, if she had slept but a night and during that sleep rest had been broken by so many disturbing dreams, iow was it that her limb had. so suddenly healed?
