Things were getting beyond her
mother. She went to the door and
called Arabella Maud, who was hanging
clothes on the line. Get move on yer,
gal, and come in and muse yer sister"
But the child didn't forget. Her mind
was active and she had remarkable
memory for child of six. She was
often heard telling wonderful stories
to her brothers and sisters, about the
Goldman who made blind folkses see,
There was unusual excitement at the
big stone church just round the corner,
"the church of the Epiphany" The chill
dren of the neighborhood, among whom
were the little Simpsons were intensely
interested, and spent st OF the morn
ing watching the flowers that were
carried in, and trying to get a peep in
side. Every item of interest was care
fully repeated to Easter Lily.
"De bishops a-comin' tonight" the
colored sexton told them, Abraham
Lincoln being appointed acommittes OF
investigation.
"What's he comm fur?" asked the
boy. The sexton was family friend.

All this made an impression on Eas-

His hands on folks and cured them.
She was willing to be 'Piscopal' if
He made her see, though what that
meant she hadn't the faintest idea.

Lily assured her. And glad to see the
child happy the mother let them alone.
Service was nearly over at the big
church round the corner. The choir of
white-robed boys was marching slow
ly down the aisle, singing in their sweet,
clear voices the hymn so full of inspira-
tion, especially to the confirmation
class: "Onward, Christian Soldiers"
Then slowly the large congregation
passed out, and at last the church was
empty save the bishop and the rector,

who were still kneeling at the chancel.
Suddenly the sacred silence was
broken by the patter of four little feet
tiptoeing up the aisle. Dressed in his
Sunday best, to which he added on his
own responsibility collar of his broth
er's which reached his ears, his walk
ing greatly impeded by the same big
brothers shoes, which were kept on
with difficulty, came Grover Cleveland,

"What are you dsing here?"
But Easter Lily was too much in ear
nest to be driven off in that way. She
only clutched the harder, and looking
up into the bishops face with her poor
sightless eyes said, fearlessly: "Oh,
Goldman, won't you make me see?"
Grover Cleveland now thought it
time for an explanation. "She's stone
blind, yer highness," he said, thinking
that the proper way to address bishop,
and ducking his head as well as he
could, surrounded as it was by the col
lar. "And we thought yer highness

brightly on little town on the borders

tlemen interested were in conference Tues
day and Wednesday in the office of Ferdi-

terday that nothing practical was accom-
plished and that the entire conference was
devoted to a discussion of plans and ideas.

said to be interested and the son of one
stock in the local company was present
at the meeting, but returned home Wednes-
day night. The proceedings have been car

the one which Is principally interested. The
Plainfield. Logansport, Greenfield and Mar

tend the meeting and were not represented.
The general trend Of the discussion is said
to have been looking to the consolidation
of the roads which parallel the Big Four

Franchises have been granted by the
County Commissioners for lines TO Ander-
son, Planfield. Logansport, Greenfield and

A meeting of those interested in the cleo
trio line to Plainfield was held Wednesday
and arrangements were perfected to incor-
porate the company with a capital stock OF

probably be filed to-day. The company ex-
poets to have the cars in operation by
