Since the day when the lake had told

"Oh. IL had only known, II they had

So Charlotella went daily from her

which had shown her so enhancing a

a small town in Pennsylvania there is
a woman preacher. One afternoon she
was preparing her sermon for the fol-
lowing Sunday when she heard timid
knock at the parsonage door. She an

young German standing on the step. He
was ? stranger, but the minister greet

"Dey say der minister lifed in his

"Yess? Veil. I want TO kit harriet"

The German jammed his hat on his
head, turned and hurried down the
walk.

soness after him.
