From that time forth new life
dawned on the Dobsons. Their lamr
was the last in the valley to 60 out at
night, and the first to be lighted in
the morning. The whole family
seemed possessed with fever of low
Gus excitement.
''Got to have everything slick and
mended," admonished Abner; cant
go off leaving things shiftless like"
When the eventful day of the party
finally arrived, everything was in per-
feet order. Two hours before the ear
lest guest could be expected, Mrs.
Dobson went to the door in her fresh,
new calico, and looked about anxious
ly.
'"They will be along now pretty
soon," she announced, excitedly;
''you haven't forgot your piece, have
you, Abner?"
81 reckon not" he answered,
thoughtfully, as he ficked a straw
from his new oyeralls; sit begins
Fellow neighbors. ,"
ooh, never mind about sayin' it
now, paw, she interrupted, "I reckon
you will get through when the time
comes"
But Abner was not certain. He
repeated it over and over again. Even
during the arrival of the people, he
could not escape its haunting phrases.
He forgot it only when he went to see
the unexpected gifts from his neigh
bors. Then his vision suddenly grew
dim, and his mind confused.
He wandered back to the end of the
house which the men had appropri-
ated. After moment he drew him
self erect, and began IN a loud, arti-
fetal tone: "Fellow reighbors--"
The unusual address attracted the
notice of those nearest. A wave of
silence passed on to the women's edge
Of the company.
"Feller neighbors, The began again,
"me and Mis- Dobson feel to thank
you for this here unexpected notice.
Mayby we-uns amt been any credit to
you-all before, but after this we're
going to be-"
He cleared his throat, while the
people looked at each other question
ingly. His wife prompted him quickly.

now look at the farm and its improve

"The rest of us amt far behind"
laughed Mrs. Early. "Only fourteen
years ago we drove into the state with
span Of horses, a wagonload of
furniture, and two dollars"
"We are all better off," suggested
somebody else. ethan our folks that
we left behind"
Except the Dobsons," corrected
Mrs. Sansen.
"Why are they so far behind?"
asked Mrs. Barnard, in the tone of
newcomer. weren't they early set
tlers?"
"Of course they were," answered
Mrs. Sansen, "but they didn't use
their chances, They were too shift
less for. anything"
A little faded woman in rusty black,
whom SaIlie Dobson had spoken of as,
'even Mis- Jenkins" looked up with
keen protest in her eyes.
Mrs. Early saw the glance, and has
tened to smooth things over by say.
ing, Maybe the Dobsons haven't used
Judgment, but they did work better
before they got so discouraged. While
the rest of US were getting O start,
they had more than their share of
sickness and death and accidents to
their property"
''You needn't worry about that"
broke in Mrs. Jenkins, 'they are going
back to the mountains. Mrs. Dobson
told me that they was tired of being
lonesome.
A sudden uneasy hush fell on the
little company, followed by a confused
demand for further information.
Mrs. Barnard sat listening to the
talk, which had drifted back to the
days before she lived in the neighbor-
hood. When pause finally occurred
III the conversation, she turned to her
companions and asked brightly, "Why
can't we give the Dobsons farewell
party? am sure it would please
them; and whatever we saw fit to give
would seem prompted by friendship
rather than charity"
The women looked at each other in
keen surprise, but before one could
protest, Mrs. Barnard spoke again; 81
was thinking how much Mr.. Dobson
needed another horse, since one of
his span died. am going to give him
my old Bess. She is homely and
rather mean, but she can work. Mr..
Barnard said yesterday that we had
too many horses"
II can't do anything so handsome"
exclaimed Mrs. Jenkins, "but I can
give quilt or two."
"And | some canned fruit, and O
ham OF So" added Mrs. Early.
The enthusiasm spread, and amid O
confusion of tongues, the list of dona-
tons grew and grew.
Suppose you stop on the way
home, Mrs. Barnard, Suggested some
one, ''and tell them about the party
I'm afraid they wouldn't be tidy |
enough to enjoy surprise"
So when the party dispersed, Mrs.
Barnard delivered the neighborhood |
message, and passed on with smile
of satisfaction.

CATHOLIC AROHBIsHoPs
To Meet In waihlugton to Consider Nat
tera Of Church Intereats.

kDEN OF NluEou AupeEaNha
WASHINGTON, oct. 1o.-The catho-
lie archbishops of the United States and
number of the prominent clergy are
assembling in the city to attend the
annual meeting Of the board Of trustees
OF the Catholic University and Of the
archbishops this week. That of the
trustees Of the University, OF which Car
dInal Gibbons Is president, viii com-
mence tomorrow. There are no ques.
tions to come up likely to lead to long
discussion.
Following the disposition Of the work
Of the trustees will be the meeting Of
the archblshops. There are thirteen Of
these dignitaries in the church in the
United states at this time. the aroh-
bishopric Of Santa Fe being vacant, and
nearly all are expected to be present.
Cardinal Gibbons, who win preside over
the archblshops, said to-day that he
did not know what questions the arch
bishops would present for consideration,
md therefore he was not able to indi-
cate the scope Of the work to be under.
taken.
It is believed to be likely that incl.
dentally the expansion OF the work OF
the Catholic church after the Spanish
evacuation Of Cuba and Porto Rico and
the acquisition by the United States OF
territory In the Philippines may come
up for desultory discussion, but tho
opinion prevails that these matters ara
yet too Immature for the outlining Of
any formative policy by the governing
body Of the church IN America

rule, approving the local government
act, denouncing the project OF an Anglo.
