woods all day, until one June morning the little girl, Angeline, woke up to find herself alone in the house.
 Her father had taken his gun, few of his clothes, and had left for parts unknown.
 Then the girl, old enough to know the bitter feeling that existed between her father and uncle, took refuge with her mothers older sister, a widow liv- ing farther down the valley, and the little house by the mill was closed; and for many days and weeks the en- tire village waited and watched for the missing mans return, but in vain.
 Mrs. Comfort Day, or Aunt Comfort, to whom the child had flown, was ad- vised to take legal action, but refused "The Lords wrath II overtake him some day." she said, "n' while we're waitin' I'll take care O. Angie"
 She adopted the girl, rearing her as her own; and so, to all intents and purposes, the heritage of Amzi re- verted to David.
 But it carried a curse, for a sense of justice, beyond the power of foolish
 
 lage, and all considered David Curtis responsible for the strange disappear anee of his brother. Tn time he re- built the dam, for grist must be ground, attended to his saving, went regularly to church, as usual, grew more exacting, ayaricious and mean than ever, if that were possible; re- fused to pay the debts Amzi had in cured, held cohyerse with but few, and that solely on business, and seemed to defy the tide of public opinion which he knew was setting against him.
 When his mother, about the only friend left him in the village, died, an old negress was imported to keep house for him; and if lack of social recogni- tion and probable gnawing of con- science could be considered as wrath of God, Aunt Comforts benediction seemed likely of fulfillment.
 In the meantime Greenvale slowly increased in size; the falls of the Mizzy shouted in the spring and mur- mured in summer: winter evenings found many of the villagers gathered in Capt. Tobey's tavern, swapping news and slipping toddy; crops and Silos and the cheapest fertilizers were here discussed; the village was divided into districts, and each district was furnished with a more modern and framed schoolhouse, and Angie Curtis, now grown to young womanhood, was installed as teacher in one of them.
 A new orthodox church, fitted with tall spire, a larger bell, and also a mortgage, had been erected: another and smaller, Unitarian church, also arose, fourished meagerly for two years and then closed, also in debt. Solomon Finch. quick-witted though under-sized young man, who had gone
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-23

away to study medicine, returned to dispense pills, paregoric, and plausi- bilities to Greenvaleites; a village de- batting society started. and the need of raved sidewalks, a system of sewers, a water supply, and an academy dis cussed. An annual town-meeting was held, where the momentous questions of who should be first seleetman, su- pervisor of road making, pound-keep- CT. hog-reeve, field-drivers, and school committee men, were settleds and more than all this in importance, railroad had crept up to within 20 miles of Greenvale, with promise of extension to 1t in the near future.
 All this is but series of marginal notes showing Greepyale's evolution from The Forks, and when Dr. Sol de- serted his patients for the first time since he began practice, and went away for an outing with Martin Frisbie, an old schoolmate, the village was as prosperous as one so far from rail- road could be.

clock Of solemn t1cK, while four posters, girded with cords, and wooden chairs painted blue, stood in the spacious chambers. These never knew carpets, and the floor of the best one was also painted blue. This, on cold winter nights, contained countless shivers and chills as well.
 The garret was always odorous with sassafras, pennyroyal and peppermint, for Aunt Comfort believed in "arbs"; {; and big and little spinning wheels gathered dust under the rafters, from which in winter depended well-browned bans and links of sausage
 A vein of pathos as we'll as benevo- lence ran through Aunt Comforts life, for in the best chamber closet hung a faded blue blouse, cap, sword. and belt. They were the sole relics of her hus- band, Captain Day, returned to her by comrade of his on the field of Get tysburg. The blouse was torn and blood stained, the sword rusty, the belt mildewed. but all the wealth of the Indies could not have bought them from Aunt Comfort.
 Once year, and always on the tenth of May-her wedding day-she went to that closet alone, and, with tear simmed eyes, dusted them carefully, put them back, and, locking them in and h,6 own sorrow with them, re- sumed her patient, hopeful, helpful life.

Tn the meantime the Revolution had been fought, the village cemetery had
 grown to ample proportions, Asa Cur tis had passed on, his son Jotham, in
 heritipg the saw and grist mill, had
 become old, and as gray as the flour
 that daily settled upon him, until he, too, was laid away in the quiet part ef the village, willing the two mills, his
 lands, and ever so many acres of for est, together with the capacious house
 he had built at the head of the valley,
 to his two sons, David and Amzi, with the queerest kind of a provision
 There was to be no division, but the
 property must be shared in common;
 neither could sell foot of land while the otEer lived, and the survivor should inherit all. Both were to oc- cupy the dwelling, taking care of their
 mother while she lived. David, the
 elder, was to manage the saw and
 Amzi the grist mill. As might be ex- pected, tying two men together in such
 manner was sure to produce discord, and it did. Then, to make an unhappy situation worse the two brothers were
 diametrically opposite in temper and
 disposition. David was close-fisted to the verge of meanness, narrow minded, conceited, self-willed, and
 bigoted in his religious opinions; while Amzi-free- hearted, kindly na- tured, easy-going, knew not the value of money, nor cared-a dreamer who loved nature, and was totally indiffer- ent to the rigid Calvinism that consti- tuted Greenvale's religion. He would rather raise flowers than corn, go fish ing than work, and liked to spend his Sundays in the woods better than in church. In due course he married, though his brother never did, and after a year built small house near eKes sawmill, and, with his young wife, 1gR ehe paternal abode. By this time feed had started between the two
 brothe2s, so bitter that they were nos
 on speaking terms. Then child-A 1 girl-was born to Amzi. A freshe6 1 destroyed the dam above his mill, ana David refused to rebuild it, though begged to do so by the neighbors, who knew the situation. Amzi got into J debt and discouraged, and then to
 crown troubles, his wife sickened ans

QUEER METHOD OF PRAYING
Made Target for Written Prayer Wads.

Along the sacred road of Nikko, in Japan, is an idol about which centers one of the most curious worships in the world, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Upon the surface of the statue are seen little pieces of what appears to be dried paper If you stand by the idol for awhile and wait for a worshiper to come along you will see what these bits of paper are. The devotee halts in front of the image, then scribbles a prayer on bit of the paper. The wad he then chews up into ball and hurls at the god. If it hits the face and sticks, the prayer is sure to be granted, and the pious pilgrim goes away happy. If the ball sticks to some portion of the body, the omen is not quite so propitious, ard if it falls to the ground there is absolutely no hope.

CHAPTER x. GREENvALE.

It was 8 brook, or rather three brooks, that gave birth to Greenvale. One, the largest, known as the Mizzy koriginally Misery stream), came from, no one knew where, up between two ranges of mountains and out of a five mile-long morass, rightly called Misery swamp. For many miles the Mizzy twisted and turned between high wooded banks, diving under pverhanging and moss-covered rock walls, down through deep intervales canopied with thick hemlock and fir, keeping always in shadow, as if ashamed of it's origin, till at last it leaped into freedom and sunlight over low ledge at the head of an oval val ley. Here it was joined by two smaller streams, one called Fall Brook, laugh ing down a narrow gorge in the noun tain, active, pure, and fearless, as be- comes a well-ordered brook; the other known as the OK Bow, and of simi- lar tenor, coming from the opposite range of low molsntains, between which lies the valley now partially occupied by GreenvaIe.
 At the head of this, ever so many years ago, an enterpr1S1ng pioneer named Asa Curtis, built a sawmill, taking his power through a Hume out .of tae ready-at-nand falls of the Mizzy. and floating his logs down that stream at spring-freshet time. Gradually others joined him, until a half-dozen houses were grouped near the junction of the three streams, and the spot be- came known as The Forks. Then others came, clearing up the fertile valley below and erecting houses. A grist-mill and dam were built just above the mouth of Fall Brook, and following these natural adjuncts of civilization came small log school house, and later little church in the valley below. A semi-weekly stage line was established to larger viii lage 20 miles further down the Mizzy and where it joined a river, which service was finally increased to daily one A tavern with capacious open fireplace in its office and bar-room combined, was built; one, two, and finally three stores were started, and tn place of s"The Forks" the village name was changed to Greenyale.
