AN OPPORTUNE PRAYER.


The returned summer visitor asked
'the squire" how Greendale folks liked
the young minister. Hes all right,
ma'am," the squire returned, emphat-
ically. breaches twenty-minute ser

The summer visitor looked her In

"He got the upper hand Of den

boarded then with Hen and his wife.
No fire for me, laughed the min
lister. My place Sundays is in the pull

"Hen said It was too cold to 90 out
that there were no paths, that every
body would stay at home; and wher
he saw that the minister was bound tC
hold service, he said he might preach
in his kitchen and they'd call the
ncighbors in.
'But 1t was church or nothing,

dence-a college friend OF Hayden,
that mischief began, and It began
without delay, for the college friend
recognizing Hayden in the village, in
troduced him to the rectory party, and
Hayden promptly fell in love, gen
timely this time, with Sybil Dove, the
rector's niece.
1t did not take Kate Moon long,
either, to see her doom.
Hayden. It is true, was a little trou-
bled at first, but that was merely an
noyance with himself for the careless
way in which he had talked love
"desecrated," he called it-but he did
not dream Of the manner in which
Kate would take it.
No one but Hayden and Kate her
self knew Of that terrible night of re-
elimination when the moon shone
down on the final meeting in Dalling
wood.
BY the next night Hayden had left
the village; by the next Sunday Kate
Moon had left the world; she had
drowned herself In the river-the pref
ty river where the trout had fought

And Hayden began that terrible two
years with the sight of the girl con
stantly before his eyes, In her lilac
gown, with the rose-pink bands about
her waist and hem, and with her last
words in his ears.

For weeks he summed himself in Joy

Many years ago, writes Thomas Bal
ley Aldrich in "Pongapog Papers" a
noteu Boston publisher used to keep
large memorandum book on u table in
has private office. The volume always
lay open, and was in no manner q prl-
vate affair being the receptacle Of
nothing more important than hastily
scrawled reminders to attend to this
thing or the other.
1t CHANGED one day that n very
young, unfedged author, passing
through the city, looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor Of
famous magazine. The unhedged
had n copy of verses secreted about
his person. The publisher was absent,
and young Milton sat down and
waited.
Presently his eye fell upon the mem
orandum book, lying there spread out
like a morning newspaper, and almost
in spite of himself he read, Don't for
get to see the binder" Don't forget
to mail Il. his contract" Don't forget
HIS proofs" and so forth.
An inspiration seized upon the youth
He took a pencil, and at the tail Of
this long list of don't forgets" h,
wrote, Don't forget to accept Al
poem"
He left his manuscript on the tabl'
and disappeared. That afternoon
when the publisher glanced over hi
memoranda. he was not little aston
ished at the last item; but his sense o
humor was so strong that he did &C
cept the poem-it required a stron
sense of humor TO do that-and sen
the lau a check for 1t, although tn
verses remain to this day imprinted.

took her away. He could see no one
Ike Kate Moon.
But he told Sybn all the story as
they drove toward their new life;
and she listened with flushed, averted
cheek.
But when he had finished, and a
moments silence like a concrete block
OF despair had followed, she turned to
him and wept upon his shoulder. And
How you must both have suffered!
were her first sobbing words
But because she was frightened by
the new suffering the telling Of tho
tale had cost him, she did not say that
she had known the story all along, and
that the silence had been as an aveng.
ing ghost between them.
One day, long after when Hayden
and his wife strolled into the old
church, he noticed a curious thing.
Sybil had walked toward the chancel
while Hayden halted by the door, and
as she stood a moment in the aisle he
saw her white gown turn to lilac in the
sunlight, and a band of rose-color fell
across the hem.
For a moment the blood flushed into
his face. and all the miserable past
rose before him.
Then, as he looked, Sybil moved for
ward and her gown was. white again
and again as she moved it was
splashed with color.
Then in swift enlightenment he
looked up at the famous windowed
story Of Joseph and he understood.
1T was all for the best, though" he
said to himself at last, and in unutter
able relief he followed his wife and
stood again beside her before the
altar.=Utica Globe.
