face was turned toward a window
in the little cottage of the Venne-
wales, at which a girl sat sewing,
with her bent brown head and
eyes alight.
Gussie met him next after the
morning service on the following
Sunday, when they encountered
each other at the door of the
church.
She chided him playfully for
his absence from the picnic, but
he only smiled, and after few
pleasant words, passed on and
joined Miss Louise Vennevale,
with whom he walked through
the whole village, leaving her at
the cottage gate.
1t was only three months later
that a pretty gothic dwelling
shot up rapidly beside the church,
not at all mindful, apparently,
of the deluge Of conjecture and
remark it brought to Locust Hol-
low.
And when it was completed,
Jerome Grant took his bride and
her mother to it one golden day
IN late autumn, and Louise Ven
nevale, the snubbed and sighted
dressmaker, was that bride.
Strange to say, Gussie was one
of the first to call, as she Wills
pered to her intimates, "out of
pure curiosity"
Of course, as the minister's
wife, Louise had to be civil to
her, laying aside the past.-Sat.

The Ministers Wife.
By Mary G. Preston.

THE arrival of the new minis
l. ter IN Locust Hollow, as the
pretty village was called, was re-
yarded as quite an event by the
congregation. a new minister is
always an object of interest to
ais people for a month or two,
then the interest flags, and final
ly he is accepted as a matter of
course, and-generally to his
lehght-is no longer fused over.
But this particular divine
seemed likely to keep speoula-
mon going for a longer period
than the customary nine days,
and, being somewhat humorous
fellow, he thoroughly enjoyed it.
For the ReverendJeromeGrant
was unmarrIed-warranted by
she gosslps to have no lady love-
young, handsome, and possessed
of a private ILcome, which made
salary secondary consideration.
Perhaps that was as we'll, for the
Locust Hollow flock were not any
TOO prompt about paying minis
iers' salaries, and, if one might

reduction of the same, were viii.

a certain occasion, that the par

very warm greetings from the
farmer aud his wife, and dImp-
ling smiles and shy bushes from
their daughter.
Among the very slimmest and
palest of those who listened to
the young minister Sunday after
Sunday was Louise Vennevale,
the daughter of helpless widow,
who lived little out of the viii
lage, and who had therefore es-
capped the knowledge Of Jerome
for some time.
Perhaps Louise's cheeks would
have had more color in them and
her eyes less of that wistful ten
derness, did not the burden of
her own and her invalid mothers
support fall on her slight young
shoulders.
But day after day-on cold,
dark days, when winds swept
weirdly by the little cottage
on warm, wooing days, when her
pulses throbbed with longing to
be out among the violets-she sat
quietly at the little window, her
brown head bent over the sew
ing in her hands, the garments to
be worn by more fortunate ones
than herself, which she with deft
fingers fashioned.
Jerome had noticed the girls
sweet, patient face, and wondered
why he only saw it on Sunday
wondered how it was that he had
never seen it in the many homes
that had been open for him to
outer, welcome guest.
But Gussie's blue eyes had
been enough like violets to make
him speedily forget the wistful
brown ones, and it was not until
he had been installed at Locust
Hollow for three months, and had
begun to think that Gussle Ellis.

brought him to the door of the
cottage which the Widow Venne-
vale and her daughter occupied.
1t was warm the young man
was, too, and tired, from long
ramble; he was thirsty, as we'll ;
and so, after hesitating q few
moments, he knocked lightly on
the open door, intending to ask
for a glass of water.
His knock had not been heard
evidently, for nobody replied to
it; and while he waited, low
murmuring voice reached him
from a room within, just hidden
from him by tiny box of hall

The sweet voice had taken
more than weariness onlts music
1t became passionate and bitter
and ended in a burst of sobs.
The young man was profoundly
touched, but he lifted his hand
once more and knocked more
loudly.
This time he was heard. and 6
