I to myself and uk another 1 A at

But !hw Just tVipl""' ynu'V.. fe'vd of

I was waking then a round t !p and
a half a day, so 1 arayed i ve y i ths'r
night In 1tewlor,. the town iwl
tliat In which niv girl l:i H'u 1 -ed.
Well, tluit lln my tlir.i Iki-o cv,
ning, I walked six mil sml bark t i
paw the old gray fn milium.
I rjiw her, hx). ftr as 1 w is vl'tlna
on tlie utoiMi Aval! opisisite the h rv (
reKtiug mid sisM'ulitting ns to wii.t In'
was he nne to tlie wlt.d w ai;d

All .the ls'Xt day I keit ih'nk ng
how pretty she looked with Ii.t inmv
r.nlsed to hang the sheet, and hw tin'
light glistened on her liair. ar.d how
she had leaned forwaid to look u; tit
the moon, and that night tiu t w:ix
my Boston n!gltt-I spent In ri'cuii.s,'
mr from the eoils of u loti emistriitur,
only to find her the next minute lu
danger of being enished by a f re, slit
vr. Tin; heroie nets 1 pel formed ili ti
night would make u volume.
Tlie nrxt day, on my seeund t'-lp. 1
thought I caught a glimpse of th.n
blue gown flying around it conn r.
Says I to myself:
"This tiling must stop, K m, or
you'll lie getting into trouhle some d ) .
You'll lie forgetting to slow up o.er
thflt trtle, nd there'll Isj b s If. d
Um in the pajier, 't)wing to the Caie
lessuess of the KngliM-er a Score of

"So," says I, "this won't do. EIUmt
the girl's worth fretting atwmt or sin
Ain't, aud the liest thing for you to
Io, Sam, Is to find out which right
ff."
So that evening at supper I opetnd
kinder gently with the laiwllady:
"Good fiinuing country rott; d here,'
says I. You sfe, I hadn't ls n on Unit
brunch very long, so the remink
seemed natural enough.
"Urn," says Mrs. tirubl), hard at
work on a piece of bwfsUtik to set a
good example to the lxiardcrs.
"I notice sme line tiws along by
Oliewlwro," sajs 1, mentioning the
rwn where my blue girl lived.
"Urn," from the landlady. uRa'u
hanl ;t work.
"Tliere's one espeiclally luiid-i ime
one In front of an old house beyond
the trestle on the right; ever notice
It?" says I as carelessly as 1 could,
but waiting quite breathless fo1 her
answer
"Ieacon Stack pole's, yes."
"StsickpolcV" I repealed abmil, "I
used to krwiw some StackpolcH." wlilcli
was tnii enough, only they we e two
young kids in the poorhouse d iwn in
Maine. "-Htackpole, Stackpob-! What's
the doacon's family?"
"Nothing but his wife and grand
daughter." "Oh, yes," says J, nulla cureless.
"Seems to me I've seen a 1'nle girl
playing round."
"Little girl!" shouted Mrs. Krubb,
forgetting her lsyfslwik in h r cagei'
nefss. "She's 17 If she's a d.iy. and a
gctod tall girl f(' her ge, nrd a great
fcelp to her grandmother, J can I ell
yfou."
At which for roinu unknown ivhhou
I felt much p'etsed.
"She's nil fired piKitty," mld'd .IIiu
Stokes, the ingineer on 11!), at which
I felt an equall sudden dmlru to
kick him.
I put on my other suit and a new

true of our public roads. Outside our

building school houses In ten years m
more than the cost of an average Mis

to govern Its use, Missouri spends
two million dollars per your on hei

The llrst thing to secure In order tn

Our natural watercourses furnish Hie

lu tlie New Testament the universal

author of the lS)k of Itcvclatlon.
I 'a nl dwells upon Hie resurrection of
the rliihteous, but It Is not no evident
tliat he tcticltea the resurrection of the
wicked. The synoptic gospels cer
tainly know nothing of a universal
rcmirrcction. The resurrection of the
dead In the New Testament la attached
to (he day of Judgment and the sec
ond advent of Christ. The HtMleal
doctrine of (he fttoire life h.ia there
fore two pnrts-tlrst, the life In the
middle atnte between denih and the
resurrection, nnd, nccond, tlie life la
the ultimate slate tuilnaspieiit tu the
resurrection.

that the soul ts Immortal In Itself any

it is usual among theologian to nuii
pose Hint immortality Is Involved In
the creation of man In the Ininge of
God. This Is doubtless true as a log
Icnl deduction from the Idea of the
Image of God. Hut 1 can Hud no di

The ltlblleal ths-trlne Is rather Hint
stated by Jesus to his disciples, "He
cause I live, ye shall live also," Tlie
