4" small pal'lor behind his shop
gazing hl1ngrily ut a supper
table which had been laid
some time before. 1t was quarter to
10 by the small town clock on the
mantelpiece, and the jeweler. rubbing
his hands over the fire, tried in vain
to remember what etiquette had to
say about starting meal before the
arrival Of an expected guest.
.He must be coming by the last
train after ALL SIR" said the house
keeper, entering the room and glancing
at the clock. II suppose these Lon
don gentlemen keep such late hours
they don't understand US country folk
wanting to get to bed in decent time.
You must be wanting your supper,
sir"
Mr.. Higgs sighed. II shall be glad
Of my supper" he said slowly, but I
dare say our friend is hungrier still
Travelling is hungry work"
Perhaps he is thinking over his
words for the seventh day." said the
housekeeper solemrlly; forgetting hun
ger and thirst and all our poor earthly
feelings in the olessedness Of his
work"
"Perhaps So" assented the other,
whose own earthly feelings were par
ticularly strong just at that moment.
Brother Simpson used to forget all
about mealtimes when he stayed here, "
said the housekeeper. clasping her
hands. "He used to sit by the window
with his eyes hall closed and shake
his head at the smell from the kitchen
and call it feshpots of Egypt. He
said that If it wasn't for keeping up
his strength for the work luscious
bread and fair water was all he want
ed. expect Brother Burge will be a
similar sort Of man."
Brother Clark wrote and told me
that he only lives for the work" said
the jeweler, with another glance at the
clock. 1.-THE chapel at Clerkenwell is
crowded to hear linn. It's blessed
favor and privilege to have such a
selected instrument staying in the
house. I'm curious, to see him. From
what Brother CLARK: said rather fancy
that he WAS little bit wild In his
younger days"
"Halleluiahr' exclaimed the house
keeper with fervor. II mean to think
as he's seen the error Of his ways" she
added sharply as her master looked up.
There he isl said the latter as the
bell rang.
The housekeepel went to the side
door and, drawing back the bolt, adj
mitted the gentleman whose preaching
had done SO much for the small but
select sect known as the Seventh Day
Primitive Apostles. She came back into
the room, followed by a tall stout man,
whose upper lip and short stubby beard
streaked with gray seemed a poor
match for the beady eyes which lurked
behind pair of clumsy spectacles.
Brother Samuel Burger" inquired
the jeweler, rising.
The visitor nodded and, regarding
him with a smile charged with fra
ternal love, took his hand in huge
grip and shook it fervently.
II am glad to see you, Brother
Higgs," he said, regarding him fondly.
