There  was  a  gentle  knock  at  the  door ;  no  one  invaded  his
sanctuary  without  this  communication  of  their  approach.  "  It
is  Mrs.  Lindsey,"  he  said,  and,  without  rising,  he  bade  her
enter.  She  came  and  stood  beside  her  husband,  a  fair,  pen-
eive,  sweet-looking  woman,  on  whose  face  the  third  beatitude
was  written  in  heavenly  characters.  He  motioned  to  a  chair.
