Many people in the audience that re- ccnfly greeted the Rev. Dr. Nowell Dwight l-llllls. pastor of Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, when he lectured in Duluth. Minn. were somewhat puzzled by the expressions that. fliticd across his face from time to time. ills ac- tions too. particularly certain gestures, aroused some curiosity among the ol» serving. and many wondered if he was braving an attack of illness to keep his engagement with a Duluth audience. There were only three persons in the church that knew the secret. and great as the general enjoyment of the lecture was these three had an enjoyment in u. that was all their own. One was the manager of the local lecture bureau. and the other two were business men. When Dr. l-llllis reached Duluth he came jauntlly attired in short trousers and polka dot stockings. hardly ll tlt outfit for thtI lecture platform. He had slipped a fishing trip into his lecture ltlneary. and be reached Duluth fresh from that sport. He expected to meet his baggage there and get from it the attire that goes with his lectures. it did not become certain until the audi- «Inco was waiting that the baggage had not come. and furthermore that it would not come in time to equip the lecturer for that evcnlne's appearance. Luckily, there was it friend at hand. One of the business men referred to of- fered to lend Dr. lllllls his dross suit. This relieved the situation. Now the business man is of heroic frame. though of about Dr. liillls's height. When the doctoI entered his boIr-ow ed suit a in avc discrepancy was IIoticc- able, though it was not so serious that it seemed likely an audience would see it in a large ball. The hour was late, so the party proceeded to the church. being joined by the second business man. to whom the situation was ex- plaluctl. Not another soul in the. audience no- ticed tho misfit. and the people in the secret were congratulating themselves on their success when the lecturer bc- gau to warm up to his subject. As he did so it became necessary for him to molten gesture. and be solemnly rain- ed one hand aloft. With'lt’cumo tbe eontmncand the broad collar. expans- ive shirt bosom.and massive should- ers rose until- they threatened to Van- gulf the features of the lecturer. The three men in the secret at this caught the speaker’s eye.- and with phone cord they shook‘thelr heads. indicat- ing that such goutIIrca would noi‘do.’ A sparkle of intelligence and appre. elation of the situation in the lecturer's eye showed thatiho had caught the hint. and for some timo‘iie refrained from gesture. liablt wanton strong. lIoon'or. and again the. hand arose. and again was his countenance threat- ened with extinction in the copious folds of his costume.
