he didn't want no innocence on a

would find innocence when he come to
play checkers or trade HOSES with a
Jerichoian. The rooster was an en-
b1em OF grit and independence. He
was a bird who went to bed at sun

Young man about e. II was his nrst call.
but Il was agreed that his sermons were
the best ever delivered before that con-
gregation. He was also popular In a so
claf way, and. taken all around. he had
standing that few young minister. could
boast Of When he had been IN Homer
willie six months he had made just two
enemies. These were an old maid named
Angelina Harris and her father Neither
were open enemies. but Angelina was
piqued and provoked and somewhat en-
FILTERED because the minister had kept
clear Of the matrimonial net she would
have thrown about him, She would have
been willing to make a match Of Z. with
almost any one. but II was the ambition
Of her soul TO marry a clergyman. She
struck the young reverends trail at an
early date. and she followed II with artlor
and persis.ency until he was obliged TO
give her the cold snub As she was one OF
his flock, and as her father was would
be pillar Of the church. the snub wasn't
ice cold or full Of carpet tacks. but he
made his meaning plain nevertheless
From thar hour Angelina Harris had 1t
m mind TO do that good man up. She
didn't give her hand away BY throwing
out little siurs and inuendoes. because she
would have found no one to listen TO her.
but she set herself to watch and hide her

around fur so years The only way
he could tell north from south or east
from west was to make a black spot
on Uncle Jim Green's barn door. and
he never went to the back end OF his
own cornfeld without gittin lost and
havin to whistle to his wife. His
speech was up to date He didn't go
back over six months. He said that
what had allus allied Jericho and what
would alius keep her down was the
want of KNOWN the compass p'ints.
He wasn't the only one who was turn
ed around. Halt the folks in town
couldn't go huckleberryin without git

time. He who watches and bides finds an
opening sooner or later. As Angelina was
keeping tab on current events widow
named Moreland moved to bonneville
from Chicago. She was young, rich, vi
vacious and took her place at the head OF
society al once She occupied q house ex-
actly opposite the one in which the min
lister lodged, and 1t was also next door on
the left to that occupied by Mr.. Harris
She hadn't got settled yet when Angelina
made UP her mind that her cue was 70
watch for something between the new ar
rival and the minister. She sized the Wild
ow up for a flirt, and, though she had new
er seen the Rev Peters indulge IN any
thing of the kind, there was no telling
what he might do II coaxed on by de-
signing woman.
A couple OF weeks had passed when one
hot afte. loon the Chicago widow sat down
at an open window TO read and fan her
self She hadn't been there ten minutes
when the Rev Peters sat down at one Of
his second story windows 10 do the same
thing. The widow didn't see him and he
didn't see the widow, but Angelina saw
them both She saw the widows fan
waved in way that said Glad 70 see
YOU" and the reply was waved back.
Many thanks" Then the Widows fan
began an outrageous Irritation, and tho
minister's fan kept company with II, and
even when she waved that she thought
she could love him for himself alone he
wasn't driven off the field. The snubbed
girl had watched and bided. and in a day
or two a social thunderclap shook the
town.
The father Of Angelina. would-be pillar,
etc, had not found the Rev. Peters as
clay in his hands, as he had hoped for,
and his effort 10 run things connected
with the church 10 suit his own
ideas had not proved successful. He had
put up with defeat as meeltly as possible,
but. like Angelina, he was on the watch

vorite daughter should have failed to

ether thorn IN his side. and a Smile or sat
isfaetion lighted his face as she called him
to witness the last flve minutes 81 tho
Irritation. with hfs own eyes he saw
those fans working as II driven og steam
power. He wasn't man 70 stand any
thing Of that sort even II he had i griey-
ance. He drew the lire at minister rid
ing the bike or playing croqlef and
thought ne Was over liberal at that With
in a day he and Angelina had taken care
that about 20 different members of the
church had been posted on the Irritation.
II il needless 70 say thar the people were
dumfounded ard that the Rev Peters
wabbled about and almost fell down when
he heard the gossip. AS fer the Widow

Sly dear woman, why should get

And in the liquidness of his heart,
Mr.. Bowser picked up the cat and
straked her back with paternal hand
and sang a verse and the chorus of the

the eats back up and brought glare
to her eyes. but she hung on to herself
until it was finished and then jumped

Mrs. Bowser didn't hold him to it too

Jericho has bin buildin a town hall

a tower in the middle. and there has
bin a good deal OF discussion rs to
what should finish off that tower.
Some stuck fur gilt ball, some fur
rooster, some fur erossbars with the
p'ints of the compass or 'em. The
town board wanted to please the mr.
jority, and meetin was called one
night last week to settle what the
thing should be. Nobody realized how
intense the feelin was Ill the meetin
opened. Squar' JoSlyn headed the gilt
ball party. and he got UP and spoke
fur Is minits without stopin to wipe
the sweat off the back OF his neck.
He started in 250 years B. c. and come
slippin down to 1900 like soft soap
glidin down the cellar stairs. He con-
tended that a gilt ball on the top of a
toweh had allus bin considered an en-
blem Of innocence. It would be the
fust thing a stranger would look fur
when enterin the town OF Jericho. If
he saw that gilt ball, he'd put up at
the tavern and feel safe and go away
speakin well of the town. If he didn't,
he'd set the folks down as vicious and
desperate and drive on to Tarrytown
or Dobbs Ferry. The squar' wanted
that ball as big as pumpkin, and he
wanted real gold leaf fur gildin' and
