ICoiiyi-lslit, IBM. by Associated Literary Press, J If the young minister hud Ih-cu of a sanguine, easily satisfied temperament he might have accommodated himself to circumstances and drifted nlong as bis predecessor bad done. But James Morgan brought the enterprise of a modem theologian to the little hamlet, straggling down either side of a high hill, on a summit of which perched the church, like a snow temple. As The 1 liuivh occupied the center of tho village, tho young mlnlstur reason ed that it ough! to bo the center of Interest also. Bui, try as ho would, he rou hi not awaken the devotional spirit. Ills parishioners were niggardly In their offerings, the attendance was small and Interest slight. Ills sermons were lost on tho slow thinking wor shipers; Ids musical depnituivs were a failure. But the Rev. Mr. Morgan did not despair. IIo hud the square jaw that accompanies the -aggressive nature. The elasticity of his hopes was phe nomenal, lie simply would not he discouraged, lie hud accepted tho call In full knowledge of the drawbacks. Tho score of shnliby houses classed under die name of Muyhood repre sented only 11 tithe of the church mem bership. It was tho prosperous farm ers wlfose Indifference he tuu.st change and compter with ids eloquence. So .lames Morgan brought to May hood a large slock of air castle mate rial wllh which ho beguiled his leisure, lie would Institute many reforms.

Therefore the Rev. Mr. Morgan did the oiJy thing .Klhle from bl point of vb w. Jle went to the city next day with a myaterlou package. Shortly afier the doctor drove three nil lea to liorrow bU tiilerom-o,ie and wa In formed that he had disposed of It.

I could one the money to better advantage." l'rotii thl emanated a rumor that at length reached Barbara Iean'a ears. The new minister wa so philanthropic he bad (;lven up bU jx-t hobby to aid tbo poor. A wee and timid question mark net Itself Um her heart. Perhaps she had been hasty. There wa uone quite like blue so big. so firm, so brave. It was v, ry alngular that he had not asked ugalu-be who lu theory scorned de feat. Pretty Barbara did not know that the hope crusbisl by hor laughing was the only Inelastic one In bla stock of dream. Aa the third quarter drew to a close without remuneration the minister mentioned the fait again, thl time with fewer blusbe and a graver air. HI need were urgent. Hay afterday he scanned hi mail anxiously for the ixHr'ted check, only to be disappoint ed. But, appreciating the bard times, other trips to the city with mysterious package were made. Returning from one of these visits one night, Mr. Morgan wa surprised to see a motley collection of teams and vehicles around Widow Fleming's gule. Lights shone from every win dow of the cottage, Including his study and bedroom. The minister was tired and lu no iiukkI to participate In a surprise party on bla landlady. But, knowing hor limited space. It would be churlish to demand privacy. He must meet her guests, who bad overflowed her a part menu Into bis. with minis terial welcome. Forcing the weariness from his face, he ran lightly up the stops and ened bis study door. Ranged around the wall waa a solid row of chairs, from which smiling faces glowed umiu him In welcome. Overrunning the center table and piled 011 the flK was a collect lou that at flrst seemed to be the Itock of a gro vry store. He singled out a sack of flour and various atone Jugs with corn cob st'.pitors as ho picked bis way to a small oasis of bare floor beyond. But, stumbling against one of the bulging packages, the paper burst and a stream of walnuts poured forth. "Pardon meV he gasped, trying to impair the damage on his knees. "Very awkward of me, I'm sure." , Tho silence was jmrtentous, and, flushed with confusion, the minister looked up straight Into Barbara Dean's eyes. The light tn them, tantalizing. amused, was his undoing. The wslmits slipped from his grasp and, striking another bag, liberated a peck of pop Corn. He stood up guiltily. "Please forgive me, Mrs. Fleming," he aiologixed. "I am sorry if my aw k wardness has disclosed your gtfu too soou. "They're not Mis Fleming's," correct ed lkaeon Brown. "They're yours. We thought we'd give you a donation stead of money, tlmos are so hard." The Rev. Mr. Morgan unconsciously bucked a 8tep. "For me? But, deacon. I have no use for these er raw com modities. It is very kind of you but buf- "Besldes this, there's a side of meat and a firkin of butter outside." put In Mrs. Homing proudly. "Now that you've seen them I'd better take the molasses out too. It's so warm In here," picking up two of the Juga. "By all means," said the miulstr, wiping his forehead, and lu the gen eral conversation that ensued he fouud himself near Barbara IX'an. "I did not expect to see you," he said lu a low voice. "I 11111 siKHidiug a few days with Cousiu Bess," ahe auswered. "Are you so devoted to Maywood that you have forgot teu your old frleuds?" "Only those who wished to forget me," slgnlfleantly; then, with a de spairing glance at the loaded table, "What shall I do with It?" he asked. "A family of ten could not consume that perishable stuff before It spoils. Why did they bring so much?" "The unwritten law of a donation party is that none may attend without bringing a present, she said com posedly. "Then what special donation must I thank you for," Ironically "the sack of flour r She laughed... His dismay was so comical. She did not know the despar- ate state of his finances. "I did not bring anything," she said. "I could not to you." Somethlug In her voice lent sudden flexibility to his most Inelastic hope. With her love to cheer him on he would yet make of Maywood his ideal church. "Come with mo a moment." he said, lending her to the deserted window nearest the church. "I had bright dreams when I came here, Barbara," he went on. "I have learned to love tho church and tho people. If I go away uow my work will be wasted. But I think I shall go when my year Is up." "Where?" she asked quickly. "Anywhere to any church that pays a salary," desperately. "That collec tion represents my work for nine months. It Is not enough, Barbara. Von said that no one may attend a donation party without a present. I am waiting for yours. If you want me to stay here you must do your part The deacons and elders have looked after the ueeds of the material man. You must provide for his spiritual nature." She played with the widows best curtains nervously. "You said you would not ask me again." ahe re minded. "I have not Yon did well to say no," bitterly. "If my work la worth only butter and flour you are Justified In forgetting me a quickly a posst ble. Maywood ran keep It donation. I shall leave at once." A change flashed across her pretty face. The mischief vanished, ami In Its place stole a tender blush. "Hon't be hasty, James," ahe whLspered, with a furtive glance over her shoulder. "Perhap with my donation we can use the rest. When will the parson age fm empty?" "I'll give the tenant notice tomor row," be anawered happily.

"The worst trouble about a life pre server," said an old sailor, "Is that few people know what to do with one when It's thrown to them. Many a man would drown In trying to get a life preserver over his bead. Tbe av erage person straggling about In tbe water woubl try to lift np tbe big life ring and put It over his head. That only causes the man to sink deeper and take more water Into bis lungs. "Tbe proper way to approach a life preserver In the water Is to take hold of the aide nearest you and press upon It with all your weight. That causes tbe farther side to fly up In the air and down over your bead, 'ringing yon as neatly a a man ring ing a cane at a country fair. After that the drowning man ran be res cued."

On oBe occasion, when the bankers had in hand a balance of 80,000, they thought It well to acquaint Mr. Car eudish with the fact. "If it Is any trouble to vou I wilt take it out of your hands. Do not come nere to plague me. "Not the least trouble to us, sir, but we thought yon might like some of It to be Invested." "Well, what do you want to do?"

"My son," said George's father after looking gravely at lilm for a few min utes, "I am glad to forgive you. Let me explain why I forgive you. It is because you have not tried to deceive me. You have told the truth. There fore you shall not suffer punishment. t wish" to have you realize that It Is always best to tell the truth. You see how easy It Is. If you had lied to me about having dulled the knife it would have been very ihard for you to keep from letting us find out the truth In deed, we should have found it out sooner or later-and then you would have been punished. Thus you would have been made very unhappy In addi tion to having leen compelled to In vent a lot of falsehoods, which would have been very hard work. A liar al ways creates trouble and sorrow for himself. Remember that, now did you happen to dull the knife?"
