W0oing of the Minister.
BY SARA LINDSEY COLEMAN.

Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
The most careless observer among
the villagers might have noticed some
thing unusual in the Reverend Mr..
Wigglesworth's manner that night.
The Widow Mclean was the first to
see 1t; she dropped her eyes in blush
ing confusion and did not lift them
until the end of the service when she
led the choir in a triumphant song.
Mr.. Wigglesworth was a bachelor
and scholar, little seamy along the
back. little frayed out at the wrists,
timid, self-conscious, gentle, forget
full man with dreamy, patient eyes for
ever turned inward on a brain toiling
with distractions.
Miss Eliza Ellington noticed it, and
as the sermon progressed the mem
bers Of the flock turned in their seats
and stared at each other. Some mys-
terious change had taken place in him.
He stood erect, his figure was animat-
ed, he looked years younger; in his
usually pale cheeks the color came and
went and his eyes were alight with en-
thusiasm.
AS the congregation passed out from
the church, on all sides there was un-
stinted praise of the sermon.
The minister hurried home to his
modest room, flung himself into chair
by an open window, and gazed on the
beauty of a moon flooded Southern
night. The perfume of the jessamine
that climbed about the window was
in his nostrils, the exquisite song of
a mocking-bird pouring forth its mel
ody from near tree was in his brain.
She loves me-" he muttered, and
again, "she loves me-"
He knew women so slightly. Seen
through a veil of mystery. they were
such formidable creatures and yet, the
priest in him giving place to the man.
he had often longed to lift that veil. He
had felt a sudden heartache for ties
he had never known-sweet, warm, hu-
man ties.
That night, as he had gone up the
steps of the church the Widow Mclean,
who was as comely and young and
pretty as any girl among his flock, had
stepped on her dress and fallen down
ward The minister had lifted her to
her feet, her soft fingers had closed
over his hand. "You are so good"
she had murmured and with quick.
spontaneous burst of passion. and
modesty that was enchanting. she
lifted his hand, pressed her warm, red
lips to 1t, and glided into the church.

The minister went forward and took

The minister went forward and TOOK
her hand. He didn't speak, he couldn't
break her dream of happiness at one
blow. He held her hand. looking down
at her with troubled eyes, when she
suddenly met his gaze, and in her
eyes he thought he saw a faint re-
proach. Was it thus that men wooed
the women they loved? Sorely per-
picked, the minister bent and kissed
her on the brow.
They sat down on the wide. old
fashioned sofa. She, noting his silence
and seeming coldness, pitied him, and
told herself that his unaccustomed-
ness to women made him shy, and
that by sweet, womanly means, she.
when she became his wife, would WOO
him from such ways; and he, looking
at her and thinking that he must
break her heart, pitied her. All. sweet,
sweet pity, SO near akin to love.
Woman-like, and to cover his en-
barrassment, she began to talk in
nervous, hurried way. OF her gera-
NUNS that had not done so well, OF

their wealth of flower. She told him
timidly that she had wanted to send
him some of them from the day the
first violet had lifted it's head.
IF I had known" he said huskily.
A rose unfolds it's crimson heart to
the sun-she moved nearer the minis
ter.
A flush Of shame mounted the Rev
erend Mr.. Wigglesworth's brow. He
mopped his face with his handkerchief,
the thought had crossed his brain that
the Widow Mclean didn't know
blessed thing about his sensations dur
ing the last twenty-four hours.
The girl talked on with shy con-
sciousness. The minister had never
thought her pretty before. and now her
earnest. almost somber eyes looked at
him gravely as il questioning this
thing that held them apart.
A sudden vision of cottage with
crimson roses clustering on the veran-
da came to him, and down trellised
walk above which crimson roses grew.
Eliza, and not the widow, moved with
eyes alight with happiness.
Miss Ellington" he asked unhesi-
tatingly. She gave him look of sweet
reproach. Eliza, was there ever an
other?"
Never" she said.
And you have loved me?" question
ingiy.
From the first" she said simply.
The Widow Mclean had been married
twice. The last scruple had vanished
from the Reverend Mr.. Wigglesworth's
mind, and he drew her into his arms
and held her silently. A man has
wisdom straight from the gods who
is silent at such a time.
Some hours later when he went
home by way of the stars. he didn't
even glance at the young widows
house, he didn't even remember that
she lived there.
She. although she did not remain
the Widow Mclean. when tender
thoughts of her former pastor came to
her, felt always a flush of shame when
she remembered that night on the
church steps. And to the day of her
death she believed that by her unseem
ly conduct on that night she had lost
the minister.
Eliza, secure in a good mans love,
and unconscious of any debt to the
widow, dwelt at peace.

BUTTERMILK.
It is Strongly Commended to Temperance
Advocates.

Buttermilk drinking, says the Chica-
go Chronicle, cannot properly be called
n "craze," which signifies n fashion
transitory end irrational. Milk is the
natural diet of mammals. After the
digestive powers attain maturity sweet
milk, while always wholesome, en-
forces n slower process of assimila-
ton than in infancy. Before 1t is COM
pletely ready to give human blood nu-
triton it must undergo changes which
may be wrought in the laboratory Of
the stomach or can be performed in
the churn. 1t is more economical to let
the churn do the preliminary work.
In hot weather especially buttermilk Is
grateful on account of it's cooling acid.
But 1t ought not to be drank too cold
at any time.

workmca On An Illinois Canal Unearth a
Treasure.
Workmen while excavating for the
Hennepin canal feeder, twenty miles
south of Rockford, Illinois, recently
discovered large iron chest about
two feet wide and four feet long. 1t
was full of old Spanish coins bearing
date of 1854. The chest was almost
eaten through by rust. 1t is evidently
a strong box of some of the early
Spanish or French settlers, who invad-
ed the Illinois and Rock river valleys

on the values of the voin. 1t is proba-

VANCOUVER, b. G., une 12.-Three
thousand Indians today presented the
Passion play at Chilliwack. The cere-
in connection with the tableauy we're
probably the most unique and elabo-
rate of the kind ever produced in this
country. The Indians had gathered
from all over the province, as we'll as

sentation was given on a level plain
at the foot of Mount Baker The In
dians of the Sechelt tribe contributed
the actors. Chief Charlie taking the

After an address by Bishop Donte2-
well and several priests, the whole
procession, over a mile in length,
marched three times around the rails
ed ground where the cross was later
planted The Indian maidens chant
ed hymns, the ceremony being carried
out most impressively. The various
scenes of the passion were presented
during the next two hours, from the
scene in the garden to the death of
Christ upon the cross.
The Indians were dressed elaborate
ly and richly to suit the parts, and
altogether there We're a hundred per-
formers including the Roman soldiers
who stood in front Of the cross IN re-
alistic attitudes. The cross was hol-
low and by a simple mechanism. red
fluid to resemble blood was poured
down at proper times. The first WAS
the appearance of sweat as blood on
the brow of the Master as represented
by the lay figure. Then followed the
flowing of blood from the wounds in
the hands aud feet, and finally the
thrusting of the spear into the side Of
the figure by one of the soldiers.
All was carried out with great real
ism. Beside the soldiers at the foot
of the cross. stood the virgin. clad In
white, flowing garments. and attend
ing her the Magdalene and the dis
ciples. Then the figure was removed
from the cross and carried away IS

FORESTRY IN INDIA AND CANADA

Canada might well learn lessor ,e-
garding forest preservation from In
dia. The government of the latter
country found that as result OF the
destruction of forests by AK and Are.
vast tracts of land had been desolat-
ed. and there was danger that the
whole country would become barren
If the work of destruction were allow
ed to continue. for country without
forests is likely to be afflicted with
alternate floods and droughts.
The work of protecting the forests
was begun in India in 1874 and grad
ually extended. but 1t has been placed
upon thoroughly scientific basis on
ly during the past twenty years. The
service is divided into 210 depart
ments under the direction OF expert
foresters, most of whom have been
trained in Germany and France. They
are assisted by number of subordi.
nate officials. many of whom are ma
tivcs of India. A training school for
these officials has sbeen established
near Dehra. and II is intended to have
similar training schools at all the 10
cal ccnters. as 1t is desired to have
none but expert foresters In the ser
vice. Promotions are made accord
ing to merit. and it is expected that In
few years about 20 per cent of the
superior positions will be In charge
of natives selected from subordinate
positions The foresters have to guard
against fires. see that there Is no
waste in cutting, and that the smaller
trees are not destroyed: also to pro
vide for the maintenance OF seed bear
tions denuded of trees. In each
province there are state forestry re-
serves, and altogether these reserves
cover an area OF more than 10000
square miles, which will eventually
be largely extended. Forest revc-

other products, and by the issue OF

England the talk of such a combine
is so silly that there is cause for

in by sane persons. There can never
