At sunset a tall young man was rid
ing soberly along the wide road which
led TO town. He stopped suddenly at
the sight Of two harnessed horses
grazing by the roadside.
Il know that team; what has hap
pened?"
There was no one to answer the
question. but he looked about and
discovered the driver under the trees.
Here. wretch he exclaimed,
wake up; tell me what is wrong.
Wake up, wake up. Where are the
ladie!
But expostu.ation was in vain. The
driver wa. "a lump OF clay-a log.
The young man mounted his horse
again aud galIoped furiously back to-
ward the los church. He looked at
each side OF the road anXiOusly, but
did not sIacH his pace, and the horse
was covered with foam when he
reached the broken carriage and dis
mounted.
Il thank heaven you are safe, . he
cried.
Bat we are not safe; we are lost,
lost. Oh. merciful sir, pity u.s. s1-
claimed Mrs. Chalmers. hysterically.
She thought the tell stranger was a
brigand.
Miss Chalmers knew better. She
recognized the young man, and feel
ing of security, almost Of happiness,
swept over her.
Hush, mamma" she said. softly;
we are perfectly safe now. This
gentleman will protect US; he has
come to help us"
The gentlemen looked his thanks for
tbe confidence. It was dark almost,
but she could see thai his eyes were
gray. She thought they were lumin-
Gus, but she was looking through her
tears.

dies. is born. nourished and reaches
maturity in an hour
There was camp meeting IN pro
gress at the log house in the valley.
On the last Sunday of the meeting,
which happened to be also the last
dav of the Chalmers visit in the
mountains, party from the chief ho-
tel visited the revival. The party
was composed of Mrs. Chalmers, Miss
Chalmers and tall voung man with
a serious, grand face The latter had
been a guest at the hotel for only
three weeks, or since the two ladies
had been abandoned on the noun
tain side by their drunken driver.
On the afternoon Of this sunday
the two younger members Of the par
ty were half way up the long hill
which leads from the valley TO the
ridges. They were standing silently
side by side looking down into the
valley.
There was "A great white tent, II
tabernacle. indeed, near the log
house, aud IL score Of smaller white
tents about the arSe one. Through
the trees the people could be- seen
moving about like piSmirs.
1t is beautiful aud peaceful
scene, said Miss Chalmers, softly.
The young man was silent aud she
presently continued, with some hest
tation:
Il have never thanked YOU
hardly know how for your kindness
that first day in the church when |
made such an embarrassing mistake.
1T was nothing; do not think Of it.
But do think OF il; it was geat
deal TO me, and want you to remem-
ber-you know we are going away to-
morrow want you TO remember
that appreciate it. My predicament
was almost as bad as it was that night
when you again
Il beg you, he broke in, not to
mention those things again.
She was silent. He turned to her
suddenly. abTuptly, almost roughly,
and asked:
Are You rich?"
She trelnbled little, but did not re
ply.
Il am surprised that YOU asked
that question, she said gently; 1T >
unworthy OF YOU it is painful to me
Forgive me. h. said. humbly.
"Oh, my dear, love you, and am
poor. Your beauty and your good
ness make you long way above me,
and have hoped that you were not
rich. But adore you. ! want you

him.

With a supreme effort she raised
her eyes to his face. She tried to
speak; she was speechless; but her
lips formed single word:

Interestingly on various other subjects.
