People were better fed and better

Books filed up the empty shelves In

what made you do it? Don't you know
that God is gettin' so good that some
of the churches have to meet every once
in a while to acknowledge it? Don't
you know that after all it is love and
not fear that moves this old world?
You sing oh, for a closer walk with
God and you make such a thing i'm
possible. You make him a destroyer
instead of a builder. You would take
away the softness and the holy sweet.

done all is done that can be done for
evil. Instead Of a great book Of wis

Look at that. Billy" said O'Neil,
holding up a bottle between Billys
eyes and the sun. Don't that look
good? Just see how it smiles! It's the
very best in town, and we've got more
bottles in waiting. There's ten whole
glasses for you. Billy, just for you.
Think how it'll feel running down your
throat, an remember how it smells.
Lordy! I do feel almost like drinking
the whole thing myself. But here,
Billy"
He reached out the bottle suddenly
and Billy's hands, both of them, went
hungrily toward it. His eyes were
shining, his lips trembling, his whole
form in a CULVER; but even then, with
an almost superhuman effort, he
forced his arms back to his sides.

cowboys good naturedly. You know
how tis with Patterpat. If he smells,

Billy shot him a grateful look.

you called 1t the agent Of the

that unless the Bible had been printed

sought opportunity. Come"
They went out into the woods and
sat down on a log. A gray squirrel
peeped at them. "Lmuel, is it about
my sermon that you wish to talk?"
YES" said the old man, cutting
off a chew Of his twist.
Il am glad that it struck home"
"Ah, hah. Glad, 1 reckon, that it
scared that little girl. Wait a moment.
I have listened to you, so now you lis

knife on his trousers, snapped it and
put it into his pocket. "As 1 sat in
yonder just now, brother, I could
hardly believe that wasn't away back
where the world was when found it
just ripe for destruction. The first
picture that was drawed for me was OF
little children in torment, and I went
to bed and cried nearly all night be-
cause I felt that nothin' was Of any

my father was afraid to say much, for
there was the preacher ready to snatch

of us been condemned from the first

there was no hope. But as grew older

dancer, and that Patterpat. I've been
to Frisco and to Kansas City and to
Chicago, and I've seen dancin-least-
ways what they call dancin'. But
I've never seen but one Patterpat.
Only he has to be limbered up with
great jags Of whisky first. Then his
legs are all wheels and parabolas and
ricoshays an scintillates. Now, you
stand right here an I'll santer out to
the middle of the street. That's him
coming yonder and beginning to
dodge already. That's the way he
used to do, and we had to round him
like we would a wild mustang and
then fill him up"
Billy Patterpat was a block and a
half away. coming on slowly and look
ing from side to side for some avenue
Of escape. The gradual spreading of
the cowboys across the street brought
up memories Of past experiences and
his eyes had begun to grow troubled
and full Of apprehension. At length
he stopped and looked back; but 1t
was too late now. Several Of the cow
boys were near their mustangs, and,
as he turned, they swung into their
saddles and dashed up the street. In
a few moments he was in their midst,
struggling and protesting, his eyes big
with terror Of what he felt was coming.

But O'Nen was holding the bottle up
between his own eyes and the sun.

and a little girl shuddering in fright,
crept closer TO her mother. Old Peter

cried out "Amen!" and a mule that
