see something OF the lsrd beyond aud
decided to journey to the village Of Al.
willie, some miles in the distance.
So IL came to pass that on the after
noon Of the tenth day of the ninth
month nf the year OF our Lord 1901, that
phebe, whose Surname wss StiRchfeld,
in company with her sister, whose name
Is Lilly, and Phebe's two daughters,
Mary xu6 Maud and also Belle, the
wife. OF merchant, whose surname Is
Keys, with three small daughters Of diff
Ierent members Of the party--the trav-
elers set out upon their journey.
And it came TO pass after this that the
clouds began gathering, and there was
great commotion in the forces OF nature.
The Winds blew and the rain descended,
but the travellers being vi good cheer
noticed it not and went ea lheiE way re-
joicing.
But when the shades OF evening began
gathering around them they were soFs
dismsyed to 6nd that they had taken
the wrong road and had iOurneysd fs'
miles in the wrong direction. Then the
question begsn 20 srise. where can ",
seek shelter from the cold blasts and
food for ourselves and little ones and
rest until the mornf
And it again came TO pass in the days
OF Andrew, whose surname is Arm
strong; that there came to his house
these same Eve women, who were mol
sheltered fFem the storm but sought tc
be.
And Andrew said unto them: Thou
shalt not come hither into my house
neither shalt tbou seek shelter in my
barn with my asSpb bsules, although
the wind bIoweth and the rains descend
eth from the heavens" And the trav
elers became exceeding wroth and
turned from him in disgnst to seek shsl
ter elsewhere.
Aud Phehe said unto Mary: I'VE an
in q great strait. Oh, Why should w
have fallen into the hands Of this wicked
man?"
And Mary answered Phebe, saying
"Neyer mind, mother, be Of geOd cheer
be strong and Of good courage; dread
not nor be dismayed. Moreover, Their
is ell manner Of cunning aAong men fol
every manner OF work, for ii takes al
kinds of people to make up . world"
And Lilly, the sister Of Phebe, pro
phesied and said: "when it shall come
to pass after this that Andrew shall di'
and his son shall reign in his stead, ths
be will show mercy untS the stranger
within his gates, and that women anC
little children may not be turned from
his door to perish in storms and earth
quskes, and that messengers will b
sent to comfort him concerning tht
wickedness of his fathers"
And it again came to pass that th'
cold, vet, tired strangers in strangt
Hand, after receiving directions from An
drew jnAt how to proceed TO find friendl
who would shelter them for the night
turned from the possessions of Andrew
and iournsyed to the eastward until tbs
clouds thickened, the winds blew harder
and harder, the moon and stars we're en-
tirely hidden by the clouds and the rair
descended in torrents, and still tbs
weary travellers wandered. ION, not know
ing whittier they were going, until they
came upon q wire fence when their faith
ful horses came to a dead stop. No
knowing what to do, one of the weary
ones espied haystack back of them II
the distance, which was a welcom'
sight to the worn and weary travellers
and especially the horses, which wer'
unhitched and given generous suppl,
of hay. One of the party was to tax
charge Of the horses for the night u
they would not take fight before tn
morn and leave the worn and wear
women to journey on on foot. So it feI
to the lot Of Belle, the wife Of Keys
to oversee the actions Of the dunn
brutes and all the instruments Of th
sanctuary.
| And Il again came to pass that whe
they had dug out q hole in the STAG
and established themselves for the nigh
and began to feel strengthened and some
what cheerful, when l0i there was wa
declared between themselves and th
dogs of the party, and every time the
would try to retire to their newly foun
apartments they would find it occupie
by the CANNES. They finally succeede
in banishing the dogs, however, an
soon were established in the shelterin
folds of the hsystack. .
And il came to pass that after th
hight was gone and the time for tb
growing Of the cocks was at band, ths
Belle called TO the occupants of the hay
stack and led forth the army of womel
4 and children and dogs, and they iour
neyed until they found themselves, an,
they came TO the city of Awhile wher
dwelt Laura, the sister Of Phebe AM
Lilly, where they found food and dr.
raiment and a warm reception, and the
| lived to get TO their homes ct MsyvilI
and they are still singing the praises O
Laura, whose surname is Mcconnell.
