THE DEAcoNs, SOCIAL.
How the Boy Deacon Finally Let Out the
Great Secret.

GIcal SeSISts
They say there is first time TO every
thing. Anyway, the drst time for the dea-
cons social came Wednesday evening at
the Elmwood avenue T.. b. Church. The
three descons were informed that it was
their turn TO entertain tie social SO
they got their heads together and In a
very ssdeaconiedn manner began their
whispering and other operations Things
developed, very rapidly, especially curios-
ity among the people TO know what
shape the affair would take on. When
asked about IL the deacoDs in their glee-
full silence were very tantalizing. when
We'd daesday night came about two hundred
gathered in the vestries TO sec the secret
burst itself. 1t happened about half past
eight whsn the senior deacon, Jacob
Swarts took the floor ana gave an address
OF welcome. The deacon is equal to any
occasion and this did not prove an excep-
ticn. The management OF the program
was then handed over TO Mr.. Allen, the
boy deacon of the church. who next an
nounced that the deacon's daughter
would play a solo. Bertha Allen then
favored the company wiki some very fine
instrumental music. Deacon knight
sang a solo, which was heartily encored.
Mrs. Ford rendered very pleasingly two
readings on lines appropriate TO a dea-
cons analr ike this Ihls part OF the
porgram was brought to a close by one
or two we'll executed selections by the
chorus choir of the church. But the Sc
cret was not out yet, so the boy deacon
announced. At this the doors were thrown
open into the small vestry, where, on
two large tables. was displayed In great
array, boxes and bags, packages and what
not, before the surprised eyes of at least
some of the people. The pastor, Rev. 5.
A. Blaisdell and wife, have been with the
church about two months and are just
getting settled at housekeeping. The
good people, II seems, imagineu the larder
in the parsonage to be at this time I'm
about the same condition as the tradition

Hubbard. In this case the cupboard will
be we'll filled for time at least, the dea-
cons social having shown such a prone
ness to pounding"
Mr.. Easton, the Sunday school super
intendent, was called on to make the
presentation speech. This be did in his
usual felicitous manner. The PASTORS re-
marks In response were very happy and
created good deal of merriment. After
a little more of good time In the way of
socializing the descons' social, like all
good things, came to an end.

Capel found himself installed in q
large, luxuriously furnished bedroom.
To be sure everything that could be
worn out had been considerably used.
not TO say frayed. Still, there was an
air of luxury about the apartment
which made il pleasant TO the eye, and
Capel dressed for dinner in a very cheer
ful mood. Whatever Miss Digby's
first impression on his appearance had
been, she was really glad TO see him.
What eyes she had! And how they spoke.
She was good deal his junior. Yet he
was n young man still. Indeed, since
he had left boyhood behind, he had
rarely felt so young as at present. Ina
way, too, Grace Digby was not young
for her nineteen years-there wns n
wealth of womanliness about her that
raised her above mere girlhood, and
suggested heavenly ideas as to what
her love would be.
When Capel descended to the draw
ing-room he was cordially greeted by
the master of the house, who was in
possession of the hearth-rug, before
large turf fire. Digby was n tall,
handsome. white-haired man, with n
clear brown complexion and healthy
color. There was keen look in his
dark eyes and humorous curl in the
corners of his somewhat full-lipped
mouth, which suggested an all-pervad-
ing sense of fun.
''Begad, / am sorry wasn't at home
TO receive you," he said, when he had
inducted his guest into a comfortable
armchair. "But am sure Grace took
care of you! And tomorrow I'll show
you bend in the stream where you'll
find trout galore. Are you lover of the
rod? It's the only sort of sport to be
had at this time"
"I can't say am much of an angler.

ing"
II hope we shall be able to show you
some sport in the autumn! only

you were TO take command OF the south

the winter. We count Cork next door,
It's not much more than thirty-fve
miles"
Here Ellen. or more commonly, Mel
ly O'Grady came in, and, joining her
uncle on the hearth-rug, passed her
arm through his.
"What is only thirty-fve miles Off,
dear?" she asked.
'-Ihe beautiful city calIed CORK,

'The more To her credit uncle.

"The ladies can hardly go and re-

"No, nor the horses, either; but
