Hamlyn shrank from the terrible old man clothed in the power of his great office and the majesty of his holy anger, shrank as a man shrinks from a flame. With shaking hands he took a bunch of keys from his pocket. He dropped them upon the floor, unable to open the lock of the safe. Young Hamlyn picked them up. He turned the key in the wards with a loud click and pulled at the massive door until it slowly swung open. Lord Huddersfield knelt down. Hamlyn took from a shelf a little box that had held elastic bands. The Archbishop started and flushed a deep crimson. He took a pyx from his pocket and reverently took out the desecrated Host from the box, placing it in the pyx. Then, with a face that was suffused to a deep purple, he touched the kneeling peer upon the shoulder. Lord Huddersfield rose with a deep sob of relief. The Archbishop looked _once_ at Hamlyn, a look the man never forgot. Then the two visitors turned and went away as swiftly and silently as they had come. It was a long time before either father or son spoke a word. At last Hamlyn cleared his throat and mouthed a sentence. It would not come.

PUTNAM'S SONS Complete Catalogues sent on application * * * * * When It Was Dark The Story of a Great Conspiracy By GUY THORNE Author of "A Lost Cause" "The most enthralling and interest-compelling work of fiction this reviewer has ever encountered."--_The American, Nashville._ "It is in its wonderful tonic effect upon Christianity in England that the book is showing its most remarkable effects. It has become the theme of hundreds of sermons, and long extracts are being printed in the secular press as well as in the religious publications. It is known to have been the cause of a number of revivals throughout England, and its strange effect is increasing daily."--_N. Y. American._ THE BISHOP OF LONDON preaching at Westminster Abbey said: "I wonder if any of my hearers have read that remarkable work of fiction 'When It Was Dark.' The author paints in wonderful colors what would be the condition of the world if (as in the story is supposed to be the case) a conviction had come upon the people that the resurrection had never occurred." "A critical handling of current journalism, ecclesiasticalism, and liberalism. A novel written from the inside as well as from observation; and from the heart as well as from the head."--_Congregationalist._ * * * * * The Scarlet Pimpernel By Baroness Orczy _Author of "The Emperor's Candlesticks," etc._
