The Daily Short Story
SHE PAID THE DEBT.

The general impression among jim
Percival's friends was that he might
have done good deal better for him.
self than he did in his matrimonial
venture.
With decided abilities. young, good
looking. well connected, but having
only limited income. he was just the
man who should have married money,
and this is exactly what he had not
done.
He met his wife in Paris during n
holiday trip. She was n pretty, viva
cious Irish woman. Iadylike and at
tractive. but she had no fortune and
was OF no particular family.
There could he no doubt that under
the circumstances his marriage was an
imprudent one. The natural conse-
quence followed. Percival got into
debt
He already owed nearly 5000, a
crushing liability To man with
small income and no capital. Indeed he
did not attempt to disguise from him
self that unless something very unex-
pected turned up he must soon he hope
lessly insolvent.
One evening to divert his mind he
went To the y. theater to see the IA
nous rainbow danseuse. If il had ended
with his merely admiring this ravish-
ing beauty from distance. all might
have been well. But such infatuation
as Percival's was not satisfied to con-
fine itself within those modest limits.
He actually addressed one or two let
tiers to the young lady. To his great
chagrin she sent him no reply. At last
in desperation lie procured an introduc-
ton to the manager OF the y and he
sought that gentleman's aid i'm his
foolish and cuIpable project.
well. Mr. Percival. I will communi-
cate your wishes To the young lady and
will then let you know her reply"
The following night. when he ought
to have been i'm his place i'm the house.

stage door of the y.
Percival had cab waiting for him L
the corner. He noticed another cab
drawn up opposite the stage door.
In few minutes he saw the girl hur- |
~ out and get into her cab. Then lie
jumped into his own. having instructed |
the driver to follow the other vehicle /
and keep IL carefully i'm sight
When they had driven about a mile. |
his cab stopped. Percival got out. He
saw the young lady alighting from her
cab about hundred yards away. With
a beating heart and trembling steps he
followed her

of uneasiness that IL was p street.

situated.
But something worse was in store.

ton, she walked straight mp to the door
of Percivars house and rang the bell
\ minute later she was admitted
All nj once the truth flashed upon the
unhappy NJ. r. There could of course
be no doubt upon the subject. This
young lady, annoyed and frightened by
his persistent attentions and seeing
that silent disdain had no effect in
stopping them. had taken the ready
and effective method of reporting him
TO his wife.
He entered the drawing room His
wife was now alone. She looked up at
him with a cold. altered expression
that made him Vince. But he persever-
ed He told her all. She averted her
face and heard his confession to the
end in OminOus silence
And so. Jim, my make up. my gold
en- wig and my whirling draperies-t
say nothing of the shifting lights and
shadows thrown upon me-baffled even
your penetration. Eth, sir?''
Jim was staring at his pretty wife,
who had now risen and stood before
him smiling archly. in evident enjoy
ment of his obvious relief and aston
ishment.
And you fell i'm love with my make

that they were about to eat the flesh
of their dead comrade, George Dean,

of Dean. Here is the wording of the
will:

WOMAN TAKES LONGEST
RIDE OF LIFE TO PICNIC.

Fifty years old and five miles, the
greatest distance she had ridden on a
railroad train. a woman came from
Knoxville to Rock Island Thursday
with the excursionists. So long a
ride was a new sensation for her and
the sights of the city were something
she had never experienced. The day
will probably 90 down her life as one
of the most notable events of her ex-
istence. She will date from it just as
she does from the time the baby was
born.
During the fifty or more years of
her life she has never travelled farther
on a railroad train than from Knox
Vile to Galesburg, a distance of five
miles. and this also is the farthest
point to which she has ever Travelled
from her own town. Her experiences
of the day will probably appeal to
her with more force and be more
wildly remembered than those of
most of the other excursionists.

Moline. daughter of the late Rev.
James d. Haney, addressed the meet
ing. She spoke at length on the
pitiable condition of the women and
children, and how the w. H. M. S.
was organized for the helping of these
poor. Its object was TO cooperate
with other societies and agencies
where there wss need of christian
help. TAe field was at first chiefly in
the south and west, and new has
spread over a large area until it has
reached even into Alaska. There are
so missionaries and 400 deaconesses
with the many industrial homes and
schools. Miss Haney closed by quot
ing from DIR Oldham: 1.-The whole
of foreign missionary work of these
United States rests back upon the
effective and adequate program of
home missions"
The junior league was led by Miss
Medin, of Moline.
Mrs. Oldham Talks.
Mrs. Oldham. of Chicago, a native
born missionary, had charge of the
afternoon meeting. Her talk was
bright, witty, instructive and inter
esting. She captivated her congre-
CATION from the very first by giving
her experience in heather India.
Rev. d. S. McCewan, visiting
minister from Tulon. preached at 8
O'Clock. Rev. MCGOWAN, is we'll
known in this district, and the people
feel as if thy still have large inter-
est in him.
Epworth League Day.
Tindall's Grove, Aug. 15.-Epworth
league day rose clear and bright, and
$50 in the morning found goodly
number of our young people assem-
bled under the tabernacle for prayer
and praise service under the leader
ship of Miss Lou Rathburn, of Pre-
emPtion. At 1880 Mrs. Oldham gave
an address on the Malay islands.
Mrs. Oldham was sent out in 1884
from the south India Conference, To-
dla. as a missionary to Singapore.
Her address was full of the wonders
found in and around Singapore.
The Junior league. under the di-
rection of Miss Ella Taylor, of Milan,
with Miss Beardsley, of Arkansas, as
organist, convened at ? o'clock.
After spirited song service con-
Quoted by Rev. ID. S. MCGOWAN, prayer
was offered by Rev. ShooP, and scrip
ture read by Rev. Witter. The SER
mon was preached by Rev. E M
Omber from Mat. 5:4S, Phil. 1:21.
He said 1.-THE text is unpopular with
men, but popular and prominent in
Gods word. What is christian per-
lection? Not absolute perfection like
first state, nor as angels, but
without blemish in the sight of God.
Not as man sees, but as God sees.
Perfection does not come until the
perfect will of God is accomplished
in men,"
At 1880 the bell sounded forth for
song service. A rousing chorus If
30 voices, led by Rev. d. S. McCowan,
made the old tabernacle ring, he
