and the baby was gettin' on; for l know

mother, with the baby on her lap. a

Mrs. Watkins reinforced her lungs
with another long breath, but the
Moderator cut short her painful re-
hearsal by quiet gesture.

Of his voice, the bonnet that had FUNK
suddenly forward, was raised again; no
one but the gray. haired man and God
saw the face beneath it-"Sister Ryan,

Moderator, she tonk off her beaddress
and stood with it in her hand. In hap
pier circumstances she would have been
70 more girl" but the patience Of the
dumb burdeu-bearer, stamped upon her
features, left no room for the suggestion
of sometime girlhood. It 10 true. that
whom she faced her accusers, and her
glance singled them out individually.
the pathetic brown eyes lighted up for
q moment With something like the flre
Of challenge.
"Are there anybody here thats seen
ne worshipin' idols?"
A Voice-"You've got them IN your
cabin"
They're Jim's saints. and Jim PAYS
the rent" she answered simply. "And
it amt to say worshipin' EN-. b it. to
keep the dust OF and have EN- settin'
where they can be seen? 1t does Jim
good" she said. turning to the Moder-
ator, "fof The sight Of 'em makes him
more peacsable and auiet-like whom he's
drunk
There wss perfect stiffness for few
moments, and then she went on in a
quiet voice. Jim asst me one day how l
would feel il anybody was to speak dis
respectful Of my mother. and he said it
was jest like that to hear me talk like
l did -about-the Blessed Virgin
so I've called her blessed ever since.
though there amt nobody here as can
truthfully say ever said prayer to
her. 1t was just the way Jim felt
about it that made me stop eatin' meat
on Friday. and then it was savin' OF
of victuals and savin' Of work, too.
The congregation shifted little un-
easily az the woman stood for moment
looking down at the rough plank floor.
When she raised her face again. pitt
full pallor had spread over it, but the
patient eyes were dry.
"When the bsby was took eick SO
student like, there wasn't nobody there
but just me; for I'd cent Dilsy over to
the mill. He was hsvin spasms. and 1
was skeered tn leave him and skeered to
stay-and there wasn't no way to git q
doctor, or Jim, or anybody to help me
l hadn't had baby but three weeks. and
it seemed like l didn't know nothin'
bout how to do for him. 1 did work
with him the best / could, till saw it
want no use. Then l thought about
Jim comm home-and thinkin' his
baby was lost for good because he had
Mt been baptized. And-snd l done
what Mis- Watkin' tole you-not on
account of the baby-but on account Of
jim"
The speaker paused, glanced at the
Moderator, drew in Q breath as II to
speak. but suddenly pressed her lips
together, sat down, and drew her sun
bonnet over her head.
The Moderator slowly arose. His
glance rested upon the congregation,
calmly. but before he spoke he cleared
his throat twice.
Brethren and sisters" he began, "is
there suy action to be taken upon this
charger"
Silence followed. A woman in the
far corner burst out into hysterical
sobbinG.
''lf there's no action" continued the
deep tones Of the Moderator. II declare
the charges dismissed"
A gray haired elder raised himself to
his feet.
