WHEN MOLLY LED THE MEETING

In the pew that smiles a welcome-meet-
in evenin's-to the poor.
wuz jest the hardest sinner that saliva

A regular OIL backslder that had lost the

'Twuz a Wednesday night pra'r' meet

An the word come that the preacher
wouldn't be with us that night.
An who would lead the meetin'?" A
woman raised her han,
An Molly, with the bright, sweet eyes,
marched up an took the stan!
My heart wuz palpitatin'!-an what
would Molly say?
She didn't keep me waitin'-fer her
bright eyes shined my wayl
She give that OF time hymn out-an'
they sung with sweet accord,
With Molly's voice a-leadin' 'em-"Come

where the boat was moored. The girl
proceeded to take her place in it with
the calmness and ease which only can
come to her sex through practice and
long suffering. She was seated with
the ropes in her hands before she really
looked up at the man who had followed
her-into the boat by this time.
Now let me see the stroke which
takes captive your best girls" she was
saying, and then her eyes met his.
Though it would have seemed more
appropriate that he should be the one
to blush, it was to her cheeks the color
mounted. She actually hesitated be-
fore she spoke.
So he was given the opportunity Of
speaking, and this time he availed him
self, willingly.
Il do apologize" he said, very hum
bly," His manner and the laughter in
his eyes did not. however, accord
wholly with such an attitude.
'Well-really- she began, but he
interrupted her.
Il will go further-you will grant it is
q long way further will explain"
There seems room for it"
He was quite a genius at selling his
chances. He took her words as con-
cession, and dipped his souls into the
water at the same time.
Il shall be able to talk so much better
when we are moving" he said, artfully.
Il fancy my stroke may prove as
worthy of comment as your brothers, -
he added. He was still smiling, and he
noted, with growing satisfaction, that
so was she.
