When Barbara went out again, she
ing with us to-day did more harm or
good"
"It did the girl good, am sure"
said Mr.. Ward.
I so, well, hope it did. But I'd give
a good deal to know what Mrs. Rice
and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Burns
thought bout it. They knew Barbara,
for they have seen her here several
times at our club committee meet
ings."
"You don't suppose they would
talk about it, do you?" asked Mr..
Ward, sarcastically.
"They were talking about it all the
way home, or I'm very much mis-
taken"
'What an inspiring thing it would
be to a minister if he could only
hear the conversation of his congre-
CATION for half an hour after church
service is over" said Mr.. Ward, half
to himself and half to his wife.
"Whatever else he got out of it, he
ought to get material for another
sermon at least"
"For more than one" added Mrs.
Ward, wearily. And then Barbara
called them and they sat down to
lunch.
But Just what Mrs. Wards three
friends did say is of interest, because
it is a fair sample of what other
people of Marble Square church said
on the way home, and the young
preacher might possibly have thought
that there is still distinct place left
for preaching in churches, if he could
have heard what those three women
had to say about Barbara.
| They came out of the church and
walked along together.
''It was a good sermon" Mrs. Rice
began. Mrs. Rice was a plump, moth
erly-loolling woman, and great
worker in the church and clubs OF
Crawford.
"Mr. Morton is young man. He
has a good deal to learn" said Mrs
Wilson positively.
"Dr. Law exchanges a good dea,
! too much, / think" was Mrs. Burns
comment. "This is the third exchange
since-since-last March"

WISHED FOR BRET HARTE.
New York Man Tells u story Which
Made Him Sorry He Heard
1t First.
ITO Be Continued.l ]

At an informal setdown the other
night, says the Chicago Tribune, of a
few professional men one of them
said: Il see that Bret Harte is COM
ing back to the United States and
that he will visit some of the former
scenes where he found his best sto-
ries. Bret Harte is like all Ameri-
cans who go abroad to live. There
comes time when they want to get
back home. They know that they can
always find a hearing here. l sup
pose Bret Harte, however, will find
some changes in the section of the
country where he met the characters
and saw the scenes which made his
stories so well liked by all Americans.
Other writers have been in the field,
and if they have not told what they
saw as Bret Harte would have done,
they have at least taken off the edge,
and Bret Harte will have to draw on
his imagination if he gives us any
thing original as the result of his
visit.
Il was out in the Sierras last sum-
mer, but | saw only one character
whom | think Bret Harte would have
enjoyed as a matter of business. He
was young man who, having touched
All sides of mountain life, at last set
tied down in place where the inhab-
itants seemed to be huddled in order
to rest, as a minister. They told me
he was an all-round minister, by
which I was given to understand that
he had no creed. One of the inhab-
itants explained that all they wanted
a preacher for was to marry the mar
riageable and bury the dead.
"There had been a death in the
community a few weeks before, and
the all-round was called upon to Off
ciate. 1t was his first funeral. Hav-
ing told the manner of the taking off
of the deceased, he said to the mourn
ing ones by way of consolation:

AN EVENING PRAYER.

d4ifes opening voyage. Lord. Thou didst
safely keep
O'er chlldhood's sheltered bays:
as now the tides of age around me creep
Protect my shortening days.
Chou didst defend my youth when sped my
bark
Out toward the open sea;
Az I approach the shore, unknown and
dark,
Still guard and care for me.
Becalmed by idle winds on placid seas.
Thy vigil did not cease
Now tempests beat, and when L shrink
from these,
Impart uplifting peace.
When Joy, bright-winged, poised lightly on
the PROV
Thou gently didst restrain:
Though Sorrow often voyages with me
My troubled soul sustain.
When many ships were nigh and skies were
bright,
knew Thy presence sweet:
AS one by one they vanish in the night,
Draw near me, l entreat.
Nord, Thou hast been companion, friend
and guide
Ger lifes unresting sea:
When Death the gentle Pilot, stands be-
side,
oh, make the port with me!

She introduced the young woman
who was standing behind her, and
Barbara somewhat shyly shook hands
with u heavyfaced girl, who, how
ever, smiled little. Barbara was
astonished at Mrs. Vane, and instant
~ concluded that she was character
in the Marble Square church and in
Crawford, as indeed she was.
my father and Mr.. Vane were in
college together" Barbara said, as
they moved down the aisle.
"Are you sure?" The sharp eyes
seemed to look barbara through.
"Yes, ma'am. l have heard father
speak often of Thomas Vane. Before
he mentioned the fact of your living
in Crawford"
"Mr. Vane would be glad to see
your father again. Ask him to call"
Father died last winter" Bar
bara answered in a low voice. The
tragedy of that business failure and
sudden shock which resulted in her
fathers death was too recent to be
spoken of without deep feeling.
Dear me! 1t is strange Thomas
never told me. Perhaps he did not
hear of it. Is your mother living"
"Yes." Barbara told her the street
"She must come and see me after
have called. She is alone, you say"
And again the sharp eyes pierced Bar.

They had reached the door and
Mrs Vane tapped Mrs. Ward on the
shoulder.
'Mrs. Ward, you see that Miss
Clark comes to see me. l want long
talk with her. Don't be afraid, my
dear. / don't want to know any more
than you are willing to tell me. But
I'm interested in you, and perhaps
can do something to help"
She hurried out, leaving Barbara il
some uncertainty as to what kind o.
help she meant. Would this woman
of wealth and social position hell
her in her plans for solving the serv
ant-girl problem?

the door, and Carl was pulling Bar
bara's dress and crying to her tt

course of the disease is very rapid,
