The NEW MINISTER. 4"

Ismelled your doughnuts too as cam,
around the corner and besides, / had /;
bit Of news TO tell to you
"Well I'm glad you've come. Hav,
some doughnuts," said Mrs. Bruner a.
she slowly lifted several delicious brown
cakes from the kettle OF seething grease
and placed them on plate. Il wa.
Just thinkin' | would run over and see
you when these doughnuts was fri I'd
for l had some news too, and now, may
be-" she continued, without taking
breath, my news is the same as yourn.
Mrs. King. the first speaker, Was tall
large boned woman with iron grey hail
brushed straight back and revealing e
the best advantage the light in her
kindly brown eyes. She was the good
Samaritan Of the village and splendid
person to tell the news. Her most in.
innate friend, Mrs. Bruner, a rather
stout, easy going woman had the same
characteristic Of gathering and spread.
ing news quicker than anyone in the
village, quicker even than the editor OF
The "Jonesville Sunrise" who often de.
clare good -naturedly he'd either have
to hire them two women on his staff or
give up the business
Mrs. King did not wait to hear what
Mrs. Bruner had to say for fear she
might get to tell it first if it was the
same. 1--WE heard the new minister is
coming tomorrow afternoon on the two
forty five train, but his wife and little
girl won't come till Saturday night SO l
don't 'spose we'll ge: to see them till
preachin'-Sunday morning
"Yes. that's my news too,' answered
Mrs. Bruner cheerfully for she had
something to add, land they do say
that she's step mother to the little girl
whose own mother died when she was
Just little thing"
So the news spread until every one in
the toSn was discussing the new Meth
odist minister. his wife and little girl.
They wondered il he wouldn't be far
ahead of the Congregational preacher,
whether his wife made a good step
mother and which one of the five empty
houses in town they would take, for
there was no parsonage. They had pic
tured their minister tall and broad
shouldered, light and dark, sociable and
sullen; so that when the train pulled up
at the little depot on Wednesday after
noon there were quite number stand
ing around besides the committee with
blue ribbons who were to receive him,
to catch the first glimpse Of the new
minister.
The subject of such great interest
quietly stepped off of the train. shook
hands with them as he told them he
was Rev. Stanhope whom they were ex-
pecting, before they hardly realized it.
The next few days he was very busy.

SO that by Sunday everyone in the viii
lage knew that he was rather slight,
stoop shoulderei man of about medium
height with black hair and blue eyes,
rather quiet and pale, looking, with a
weary troubled expression which never
left his face for au instant,-and now
they were ready to see his wife.
Sunday morning the Methodists were
all out to church early, and few Con-
gregationalists as Well. The little
church was packed when stir was
heard and the suppressed whispers told
of the arrival of the minister and his
family. The little girl and her mother

same sad expression which they saw in
her fathers face seemed reflected in
her own.
The following week all the prominent
ladies in the church had called at the
parsonage. and at the Dorcas society
Saturday afternoon had given vent to
their feelings.
She'll never be t e president OF the
aid society, the secretary OF the mission

"She looks like big wax dol! with

she settled back comfortably in rock
ing chair. I'll invite her to my house to
tea and see how she acts. I believe
she'll bear acquaintance; we'll try her
anyway"
Mrs. Bruner gave her TIA and as she
told Mrs. King the next day. "She just
talked and laughed and praised my light
biscuit and we had a real good time
She's real delicate for she didn't eat
enough for a bird. hut I don't think its
cause she didn't like my supper for she
said it was splendid"
So the days passed in gossips and
teas until the minister's wife herself en-
tertsi le,' She had prepared an elegant
supper but the dear women invited
couldn't imagine where she cooked il
for the room that was kitchen was
now very pretty dining room. The
finger bowls bothered them ard they
wondered why she had six cushions on
the sofa in such disorderly fashion.
Sometimes she Vas very pleasant and
agreeable. and again so stiff and distant

for something to say. By and by when
ever they called the minister and his
little girl. Marie, talked to them. always

The little girl chung TO her father and
no one had ever seen his wife smile or
talk to her.
The good ladies had planned a pound
surprise party and only gave the minis

Mrs. Bruner went upstairs to see her,
thinking "the poor thing ought not to
be left alone" She came down in a few
and the party soon broke up.
On the way home Mrs. Bruner, for once
very much excited, talked to them in
broken sentences. Brethren and sis
ters-the door was shut tight and poor
little Marie was holding the door knob
and she says so pitiful-'Please Mrs.
Bruner you cannot go in. Papa would

Silence reigned a moment unbroken

seemed unable to control, and then a

which had siezed them after
