He filled the post of curate at St Mary's, Shrewsbury, sixteen years ago, at the opening of his career. In 1895 he was rector of Bethnal Green. Two years later he had become canon of St suffragon bishop of Etepney His preferment was literally the work of his own han. with a zeal re at that was almost unparalleled No sacrifice was too great. He was one with his people, lived among them and was idolized by them. They called him “The Working Bishop."

It was two years ago that the bishop's romance came to a focus,.when it was nounced that Lady Ulrica Duncombe. youngest of the four famous beautles daughters of the earl of Faversham, was to become his bride. Al London was startled. The bride-to-be, strikingly like her lovely sister, the late duchess of Leluster, was barely 21, Her delicate charm had been fostered in an environ- ment of softest luxury. The man she had chosen dwelt among the masses in the most laborious diocese In Eugland. It would mean self-fmmolation, her friends said But the affair was evidently a love match Lady Ulrica, mlways of a serious cast of | thought, entered heart and soul futo the bishop's plans.

Whether her courage? faltered, or whatever interfered dared But with the wedding day already in view the beauty, who had declined an carl for his sake, refused to marry her churchman lover. The bishop, stunned by the blow which crumbled his happiness, went abroad. He returned a changed man.
