establishment as manager, and as q
reward of her ambition and persever-
ance was making for herself a splen-
did yearly income. In the hour OF her
prosperity she did not forget her mother
and sisters, and they were often brought
to feel the rich generosity OF her heart.
Miss Agnew Was courted by men OF
wealth and position, while the wives and
daughters Of the opulent in their Jealousy
turned up their dainty noses and sneered
st the "beautiful seamstress," as she had
become TO be known. But in the face OF
all fiattery and in spite of the sneers Of
the women around her, Anna attended
10 her business and brushed aside the
army Of suitors that crowded moro thick
~ around her each year as she grew
more beautiful. She had bought . neat
little cottage in upper town with her
savings, and quartered there were her
parents and sisters. About this time G.
X. Davis was coming into prominence as
q politician, and his fame as q public
speaker apd q itterateur had gone abroad
throughout the state, and the people
wsrs beginning to look up to him as
their representative man, the one who
could bsst watch their interests. Quietly

Then commenced a series Of entertain

ly every year, and every few years
mammoth reception would be given,
wherein the invitations would be num-
bered by thousands. In addition to this,
Mr.. and Mrs. Pullman would occasionally
take large party of friends to their
island in the st. Lawrence and entertain
them during q whole summer, or open
their house to their friends ut Elberon.
It may be said Of Mrs. Pullman that she

tempt was on tho Right Rev. OH w.

Pennsylvania, ind taking seat near the
altar he fired at the bishop while the lat
ter was opening the evening service. He
missed, was arrested and gave as his
reason that the bishop was an advocate
of high license. With all the seriousness
in the world he related how bad he felt
when he found that out.
He then decided to write letter to the
bishop, to tho effect that with Christ 10
