AS Wesley plodded down the main
road he glanced guilty back over the
green fields where straight rows of to-
bacco spread their broad leaves ripe for
cutting. There was deeper guilt in his
heart, too, when he thought of the pro-
ject upon which he was bent. Never
before had he done anything that he
would have been ashamed to tell out
m class-meeting at the little cross roads
chapel where he was one of the younger
leaders. The tall, gawky shadow he
cast along the white road seemed a sort
of premonitory figure of that better self
that would follow him the rest of his
life like an accusing angel. And it was
all on account of woman; not that she
was to blame, except for the fact that she
had soft white skin and fair hair, and
The tiniest of feet that made his own
seem monstrous, and the daintiest little

arms.
Wesley had never been ladies' man
until the school teacher came into the
neighborhood but he had been captured
from the evening he drove to the sta
bon and she had sat beside him in the
Ettle spring wagon during the five miles
they had to go in the September twi-
light. The scent of her gauzy handker-
chief played about his senses for week
afterward; it was different from any
perfume that had entered his nostrils,
before accustomed to the odors of
Sweet BASIL" marjoram, and gen.
erous sprinkling of musk in the closely
packed little chapel of Sunday mornings.
Propinquity, that strong promoter of
she tender passions, sealed his doom,
Cor the school teacher boarded in his
own house and came to bear upon him
al the varied and wonderful charms of
a woman.
He felt himself the most highly fav-
cred man in the universe to be able to

can perform for a young and fragile
. member of his household, that brought
him unspeakable JOY
So far, however, from believing these
Offices were gaining for him the desired
favor, Wesley would have dispensed

Silas was seated on high chair behind
the counter RECALLING himself with the
latest postal card news that had come in.
"Howdy, Wes'," he greeted, reluctant

pigeon holes as the visitor came behind
the counter, "Air We through cuttin' Z"

"No, I amt after pesterin' you bout

on the desk, he blurted out:

ing Wesley suspiciously.
81 reck'n you know" was the answer,
with responsive grin to hide his en-
Ddi dooSa
Then as Silas began to drawl the
school teachers name, writing it at the
same time with many fourishes at the
top of the sheet he had spread before
him, Wesley grinned broader, and con-
fessed with more bushes that that was
the young lady in question.

next question with his most professional
air, making ready to start. "You kin

Gated with his pen the line below the one

for Wesley to intimate.
"Then you might make it little
stronger" the other suggested sheepishly
after pause.
ITO the young lady that has my
heart, how is that?" Silas poised his pen
inquiringly.
Wesley nodded approvingly. "That's
it." he said, and as Silas waited fol
further Instructions he squirmed awk-
wardly in his seat and began to wipe the
perspiration off his face.
"Its kinder hard to know what to say

breath, "only as I'm partic'lar bout

1t seemed an age before Wesley had
converted all this in sure enough let
ter, even taking into consideration the
beautiful hourishes with which it was
embellished, and he had it in his coat
pocket on his way to deliver into the
hands of the school teacher. Then ii
seemed another age after he had in

Git is in the early stages that German
