Wednesday afternoon We go to Essex to stay
with the Chivertons, so this is our only chance
sof meeting. Do come in terrible haste. Yours
lovingly, ALICE.
From the fosegoing it may be gathered
tkat Miss Alice Heathcote and Tom Bax-
tor were on tolerably intimate terms. As
q matter of fact, they had been engaged
for six months, during which time they
very rarely met. Bakers people were
well of, and he had q very rich uncle.
among whose possessions was an e0cel-
lent family living, destined in the future
for Tom and his bride. But the uncle
was a stern and conscientious gentleman,
and he was determined, before he definite
ly agreed to give Tom the vacancy-when
it occurred-to see what the young gen.
tleman was made of. And this was why
Baxter had been sent to help Mr.. Straight
way in the East End, why he worked so
hard in the parish, and why he was SO
desperately anxious to stand high IN his
wears opinion.
When Tom read the letter his FIRST i'm
pulse, unclerical though it may appear,
was to use strong language. But he re-
strained himself and fell to thinking over
the various means of escaping his duties.
A fresh appeal to Mr.. Straightway be

did not only look upon cricket as friv-
olous waste of time, but he was a strong
advocate of the celibscy of the clergy.
Moreover, by merely asking the question
Tom might offend him, and this he Ger
tainly could not afford to do under the
circumstances.
There was nothing for it then but q
pious fraud, and although Toms con-
science rebelled against the idea of de-
ceiving his vicar, who trusted him i'm
plicitly, he could not make up his mind
to disappoint Alice or to deny himself
the pleasure of seeing her. He might,
under more favorable circumstances, have
dined at her uncle's house in Portman
Square, but as luck would have it he had
undertaken to conduct an evening class
on both nights of her stay in town. So
he wrote very affectionate answer,
promising that nothing short of an earth
quake should prevent him from appearing
at Lord s, and he at once set to work to
arrange a plot for the deception of Mr..
Straightway.
The day before that on which he had
promised to meet his intended, Tom told
his vicar that he was passing the night

The Funnel.Shaped Cloud.

When the colonel reached home the
hour was late, or early, rather. The
colonel's wife, who excuses none of the
foibles which men inculcate, met the
colonel with freezing look. The
colonel, who is usually skillfully in
ventive. "lost his head" when he saw
his wife's face.
Wife-"What made you so late?"
Colonel latter embarrassing hesita-

What detained you?"

evening a funnel-shaped cloud came
along and blew me against a wall

end of it into bottle and poured some
thing into it. Those funnel-shaped
clouds are very dangerous. They

young man, WuD, De-
~ sides distinguishing
himself greatly both on the river and in
the cricket field, had taken a very re-
spectacle degree, for he was by no means
afraid of hard work of any description.
Such men often make capital parsons,
and Tom was hardly less energetic in his
parish work than he had been In very
different spheres. of action at Eton and
Oxford But there were limits to MIR.
Baxter's endurance; he liked an occa-
sional holiday. and this was the only
point upon which he and his vicar, the
Rev. Septimus Straightway, were not en-
tirely agreed.
The Rev. Septimus was an honest man,
and took severe and gloomy view of the
pleasures of life He worked terribly hard
in an East-end parish. knew nothing and
cared less about outdoor sports, Or. in
fact, about any form of amusement, and
fully expected his curates to follow I'M
hesitatingly in the extremely narrow and
steep path up which he led them. Hence
it came to pass that Mr.. Straightway ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in find
ing curates after his own heart; the
young men were continually leaving him
for less arduous duties, and the wears
opinion of human nature in general, and
particular, steadily grew worse. In Tom
Baxter, however, he really thought he
possessed a treasure, and the danger of
working a willing horse to death never so
much as entered into his head.
Poor Tom did his very best to satisfy
Mr.. Straightways requirements, for he
really respected the man and valued i'm
mensely his good opinion, but, as has al
ready been indicated he could not help
longing that his superior would enter a
little more into his own harmless liking
for occasional relief and sympsthize with
his passion for rowing and all that was
connected with athletics.
At the time write of the cricket sea-
son was in full swing, but Toms duties
had not only prevented him from play
ing In single match, but even from look
ing on at one few hours from the roof
of the pavilion at Lords. Moreover, the
University cricket match, in which he
took an absorbing interest, was fast APP
preaching, and he was sorely troubled by
the dread that he might not be able to
see it. 1t worried him during his visiting
and mission work, spoilt his rest, and oc-
casionally obtruded itself upon him in the
pulpit. Even the absent-minded Mr..
Straightway at length noticed that his
curate's mind was i'll at ease, and one day
ne went so far as to inquire the cause.
Tom stammered out something about
being out of sorts, and ventured to hint
that he thought days holiday would do
him good.
When l was your age. Mr.. Baxter. !

tere vicar. but you are certainly not

"Can't it be managed a week sooner"
tqueried Tom, desperately. for the Uni
Eersity match was fixed for the 4th.
Quite impossible, 1 fear, said the vicar
decisively. for he was terrible martinez

with his curates. So, with wave of his
hand, he dismissed the subject. and Tom
knew that further appeal was useless.

Baxter, as be walked home to his humble
lodgings. But it's no use talking to him
about cricket, and he doesn't know . bat

In this process fresh milk is placed in

then alternately heated and cooled until
every organism or germ is supposed to
have been destroyed. Milk thus treated
may be kept in the unopened cans for
an idefnite period, and has been found
after three years to have the taste and
appearance of the best fresh milk.
