For many generations ministers
sous have been treated unfairly. They
have been catalogued by themselves.
They have been regarded as a little
different from other boys. There Is a
supposition that they ought to be bet
q ter than other boys, mixed with con-
yiction that they are not. This con-
yiction not uncommonly goes so far as
to hold ministers sons to be just like
other boys, only worse. There Is no
yainsa wing the fact that, particularly
In country towns, the preachers boy Is

lance and usually under suspicion. IL
ripening watermelons have been plug

any other deviltry has been committed
the one to whom the finger of suspicion
points, as the needle to the magnet,
is the preachers boy. His reputation
has been fixed in tradition, song and
story, and it Is bad. But he has been
done injustice. 1t Is not true that the
reacher's boy is worse than other
boys. The old superstition has no
foundation whatever In fact. The rec
ords are decidedly in the preachers
boys favor. Think for moment Of
Emerson, whose ancestors had been
ministers for five generations. James
Russell Lowell got his training in a
minister's home. Oliver Wendell
Holmes learned to tune his Tyre in his
fathers parsonage. Henry Ward
Beecher sprang from the loins Of a
grand old minister Of brain and Drawn.

but It is by no means complete. Look

to the Court.

could wish you rcthing better than to
have such wife as Winifred."
All obstacles surmounted, and the en-
gagement between them being ratified by
the consent of all parties, Mr.. Hastings
would not hear of any objection to the
marriage taking place Immediately.
Remember, darling" he said, when
Winifred would have urged him to wait.
Il have loved you for more than two
years. Having made me so miserable,
surely you owe it to me to lose no time
in atoning for it. Pray get that horri-
BILE trousseau business over with all
speed, or l shall think you do not love
me cas- love you"
Sir Howard was delighted when he was
apprised of the intended marriage, and
insisted that Winifred should be married
from Hurst Manor. She had fancy for
being married in the little church where
she had so often sat when she was only
a farmers daughter. She was not the
simple little country girl now, but an ele
CANT young lady, accustomed to luxury
and good society. Enrol would have liked
much better that she should come to him
portioness, but that was not to be as he
desired.
Sir Howard Champion gave her twenty
thousand pounds, and Sir Clayton ten
thousand, while Lady Grace provided her

ings had the family diamonds reset and
remounted for her, and would have had
her wear some of them at least at the
wedding.
