Jairus was managing the farm as best

John, after a sort of reconciliation, de-
cided TO make amends by investing some
money in the farm. so that they could
run it according to modern ideas.
The brothers got along very well for
time. Then John met q young woman II
Spencer. He paid ner considerable after
ton, and finally decided to make her his
wife. 1t happened that during a visit to
Spencer Jairus met the same young wo-

sight. The Wood brothers had not be-

Of each other in their love affairs, and

to Spencer at every opportunity. The
young woman kept her secret. She had
difficulty in making up her mind. John
had money. but. although the younger
brother was poor, she felt that her love
| for him was greater. While she was try
ing to decide which to accept an unex-

One summer day the Wood brothers

They reached the house of the young
woman about the same time, and the

Tacify them. and was finally asked to
make her choice. She threw herself
into the arms of Jairus, and John, de-

When they met again at home that

he has inaugurated the MONDAY Bible
class movement in the Seventeentn-S Street
shops of the Chesapeake and Ohio with
remarkable success. Considering the fact
that the first meeting was held only six
weeks ago. the present average attend
ancc, exceeding two hundred men, is the
cause of genuine encouragement to those
interested. This service is unique and
has become weekly event in shop life

every Friday at the noon hour. and while
Mr.. Thomas. who personally conducts
the service reads his Scripture lesson for
the day, the men. more than two hundred
in number seat themselves on the lathes
around him., During the service they
give their closest attention to all that is
said and break forth i'll one great chorus
when the hymns are sung. The singing
is no little part Of the meeting. and while
it is led by men employed in the shops.

"And, uncle. 1 don't believe people

the banker had overheard one of his
clerks say, This is the first time we
have gotten what we did not slave
for. Is he going crazy?" and Nancy
had remarked to Jake, in tones over
heard in the next room: "He won't

In the morning Uncle John found
a pair of mittens at his plate from
Nancy and several pretty but useful
things, the handiwork of his niece.
Nancy was radiant over the new
wool dress and Jake grinning over a
two-dollar bill, while Jessie danced
with JOY over pretty gold pin set
in pearls, having few ornaments dear
to girls heart.
The dinner was a great success and
the little widow and her children
thought they were in paradise. The
third minister's wife forgot her wor-
ries and let Jessie fill her children
with cake and candy almost beyond
the rescuing power of any remedy.
After dinner the banker called
Nancy aside and asked if the widow
and her children could stay until she
could find work, if extra help were
hired, and Nancy, overshadowed by
Christmas angels, consented.
