"Twenty-five cents, Ell? Not on your

pose a quarter dollar can be changed?
Just exactly II. A fellow of limited
means may like the jingle of coin

can give him 25 pennies, or 20 pennies

little sprinkling of silver in his
clothes, and you can accommodate
him with Is pennies and a dime, or
ten pennies, dime and a nickel. If
he prefers to have change handy for
a beer and ear fare, why, Is pennies

If he wants a cigar in addition, be-
sides having a little stock of cash in

whole being seemed uplifted and
ahoat upon a far-off sea of possible

a dream. He held the hymn book
open at the fly leaf and, resting the
printed card under the name written
there, feycrishly signed his own in
full-Silver Thornton Sly.
The fat preacher collected the
cards. As ne came opposite the row

The meeting was rouser. The
three preachers-the rosy fat one,
the handsome slim one and the con-
sumptive ascetic--threw their whole
souls into the work, and it was truly
thrilling. The cOrpulent minister did
the eXhorting, and stopped every few
minutes to catch his breath and cast
his eye shrewdly about for repentant
faces. When his glance ran along the
row of young men about town it
rested upon Silver Sly. The editors
animated eyes, he thought were "a
sure sign that the little man was
aroused. The preacher took a glass
of water, saying to himself: 81 have
touched the EDITORS heart-now to
preach right at him" The Tevivalist

the aisle.

Some one in the gamblers row
started as If he had been hit. The
organist took little pile of books
from chair and stepped beautifully
down the nisle. Silver Sly was afraid
that everybody in the church could
hear the humping of his heart.
