CHAPTER Y.


Myra Anderson was setting the table
for supper, stopping every few moments
to look out the window and listen. The
steam rose in white cloud from the
tea-kettle, and faint, pleasant odor of
tea dif1used itself through the room.
II wish Ralph would come; it is n
real winter storm if it is only November.
You don't think there is any danger of
his getting bewildered and lost do you?"
she asked, anxiously. shading her eyes
from the light, and trying to look down
the road.

whether he can or not. I'd trust her
the darkest night or in the thickest
storm that ever was. for that. If he
only lets her have her own way he'll
come out all right but wish myself the
lad was here and Ben Anderson came
and sat by his wifc's side and tried to
pierce the white cloud that whirled and
tossed itself about in reckless abandon.
While they stood there, looking and
talking. there was sudden faint whirr
of wheels through the light snow, and
Bess, with a little delighted whinny
dashed across the line of light which
streamed out from the window. and put
her steaming nostrils against the pane.
Mrs. Anderson opened the door with
eager haste, but fell back in astonish-
ment at sight of Ralph, with 4 limp lit
tie form, covered with 4 white frosting
of snow. clasped firmly in his arms.
"Get something quick, mother. he
cried. as he strobe into the room and
deposited his burden on lounge.
"The poor thing is quite unconscious.
but her heart beats. l found her about
half way out on the prairie road, lying
in little heap just outside the wheel
ruts. If Bess hadn't SHE'D l shouldn't
have seen her."
All the time he was speaking he was
hurriedly removing the snowy gar
ments, and his mother was heating
fannels, and Ben Anderson, himself,
for the first time in his life utterly I'M
mindful of the comfort of his favorite

al by impatiently paving the snow and
whinnying with all her might, was mix

bring the light, Ben. Poor child.
1 wonder who she is. Here, Ralph, let
me hold her head against my bosom
while you see if you can get little of
this hot brandy and water into >her
mouth" As she spoke Mrs. Anderson
lifted the cold, unconscious face to her
arms, and as she did SO, and the light
fell full across it, Ralph uttered an ex-
clamation of surprise.
Good Heaven,-it is Stella Blakei
Don't you remember, mother, the girl l
told you about who reminded me of Vi
ola? How came she out in the storm,
and on the prairie road?'
A few drops of the hot liquid was
forced between the passive lips, the hot
flames were wrapped about the chest
and limbs. and the latter vigorously
chafed. But with the united efforts of

the three it was . good half hour before
the girl showed any very decided signs
of returning consciousness. And when
she did, the agony which racked the
slight frame was pitiful to see. 1t
seemed almost cruel to bring her out OF
her hsppy Inconsistencies to such
fierce suffering. But the struggle was
short as it was sharp. and she was soon
able to sit up and look about her. She
was still good deal bewildered. and
there was wild, startled look in the
great black eyes she turned upon them.
But when they fell upon Ralph they
softened and q faint smile parted the
lips, as with little involuntary motion
she put out her hand towards him. He
took the little trembling fingers between
his warm, firm palms.
You remember me, Miss Blakep' he
asked, eagerly, looking down into her
face.
Eyes, I remember you," she said,
softly, faint rift of color coming into
her face; "but where is this. and how
came hereP"
II found you lying in the snow by the
roadside, about half mile from here"
"Oh, yes, 1 remember" she inter-
rupted. with strong shudder, " sat
down to rest. Oh, how fierce the storm

road instead of keeping straight on,

whether you like it or not. Rather I'M
gallant to serve a lady in this way, do
you think?''
She smiled, but her eyes were full of
tears.

4 Greek village Church.

On Sunday, almost before day light.
the bells began to ring for morning SER
vice, and the peasants, who are early
risers. were soon focking into the little
church. Not only the villagers came;
but people from surrounding farms; and
from my window I saw the priest. who
had come from q distance, dismounting
from his horse, and answering the salu-
tations of his parishioners, who perhaps
had the more regard for him because he
did not live among them, but came only
once fortnight to conduct service. L
had been told that there was to be q
second liturgia said at seven o'clock for
the master and family; so waited for
that hour, when we all walked down to-
gether. On entering the church we found
there goodly number of peasants, who
had not been able to get to the early
mass. As is the custom in the Greek
church, the congregation remained
standing during the entire service. the
men on the right and the women on the
left. They were very devout in manner,
looking toward the picture Of the Virgin
near the altar; and to her they addressed
their prayers in q low voice, their
only motion being the frequent
sign of the cross. Several mothers
were there, holding babies in their
arms, with small children clinging
to their skirts. The little ones crossed
themselves with their tiny fingers. in
imitation of their elders. Sometimes .
person coming in would step forward,
put down q small coin, and light little
taper, which he would put into the
candlestick, saying q prayer for the soul
of a dead friend, or would kiss the pict-
ure of the Virgin. The priest who offici-
ated at the altar, had exchanged his
usual black robe for q gayly-colored one
of some common stuff, and his hair, al
ways concealed under his high cap, ex-
cept in church, hung down in heavy
black curls over his shoulders. He went
through the prayers in loud, nasal
chant, and read the Gospel in the same
tone, with great speed, assisted in his
duties by a peasant lad, whom he had
trained, and who was probably destined
to be q priest. The worshipers made
their responses with fervor, and after
the doxology was said, went up and
kissed the priests hand, and the Bible
which he held. This was handsomely
bound in silver and gold, set with col
ored stones, and was family relic; so
also was the sacred picture, worn and
effaced, as if it dated from Byzantine
days. The Greeks often have these
valuable religious pictures hanging on
the wall at the head of the bed, and a
devout soul keeps a lighted taper burn
ing day and night before them.-E. W.
FELTON,, in Atlantic Monthly.

A great many people cannot
imagine why a local paper can
not be printed at as low a price as
a great metropolitan weekly, like
the New York Sun. A circula-
ton of thousand copies is very
large for local paper, while the
New York Sun or World print at
least 100000 copies. The sub
scription price of one of these is
81 per year, and many wonder
why local paper cannot be print
ed as cheap. Supposing the net
profit on the weekly Sun or
World to be 90 cents per copy,
which would be small estimate
when the paper, postage, compo-
sltion and press work are taken
into consideration. At this rate
the yearly profit on the weekly
alone would be $40, 900, while on
the best local paper il would be
only 5000. There is no question
about q local paper competing
with the metropolitan in price,
for it cannot. The only problem
to solve is, should the local paper
exist or should the news and in.
terests of people living in the
great metropolis only, be repre-
sented.
