                      The Pillar of Light

                        By Louis Tracy

            _Author of "The Wings of the Morning"_


    "_And the rain descended, and the
    floods came, and the winds blew,
    and beat upon that house; and
    it fell not; for it was founded
    upon a rock._"

    _Matthew vii: 25_
