Queer Medium Through Which Two
Old Ladies Were Reconciled.

Queer Medium Through Which Two
old Ladies Were Reconciled.
When Tom Harding read his wife
the letter telling Of the death Of his
fathers cousin, Henry, by which
Henry's sister, Veronica, was left alone
and nearly penniless, warm-hearted
Molly's response was instant: Write
for her to come to us, Tom. We have
plenty of ROOM"
Are you sure, Molly?" Tom hesi-
tated. at seems to me that in taking
Grandms Miller you did your share
"But that's just It," Molly replied.
"She and grandma will be such COM
pany for each other! 1t won't be any
more trouble to speak of, Tom, real
ly"
So Tom wrote, and in due season
Cousin Veronica appeared, dazed and
bewildered, poor soul, but grateful for
home Then the unforeseen oc-
Cured.
Grandma Miller, who was really not
grandmother at all, but some relation
nobody had taken the trouble to figure
out, apparently took an instant and
violent dislike to Cousin Veronica, by
whom the sentiment was promptly re-
turned. All Molly's efforts to bring
the two into harmony were unavailing;
II one old lady expressed a liking for
anything, from knitting to waft1es, the
other at once displayed her scorn for
the thing in question.
According to all rules OF send-
ment," Molly lamented, "they ought to
be reconciled by the children, but that
is as hopeless as all the rest; Cousin
Veronica 'favors' Betty. and Grandma
Miller sees only Teddy. I don't know
what l shall do"
But although nobody guessed 1t, the
crisis was even then approaching. Half
an hour later the country quiet was
broken by an unusual sound, the gay
tinkle of hurdy -gurdy playing-of all
things!-"Dear, dear, what can the
matter be?"
Hurdy- gurdies were rare In South
Meadows. Two small, eager figures
darted out to the road; Hannah. the
tcook, rushed to the kitchen door; two
other figures, one hurrying from the
front chamber and the other from the
sitting-room, met at the side door, each
with a nickel in her hand. Evasion
was impossible; they were caught, fair
". in a mutual enthusiasm.
Cousin Veronica made one last
stand
"'Tain't the piano-thing; it was the
music" she explained, stiff1y. We
used to sing 1t In singing-school"
Grandmas eyes were bright with
memories. and the words slipped from
her mouth before she could stop them:
80 did we. There amt any such
pretty tunes nowadays"
An hour later Molly, passing Cousin
veronica's door, almost stopped in her
amazement There at the two sunny
windows sat two old ladies, rock
ing and knitting, and two eager,
cracked old voices were singing with
frequent breaks, but very evident con-
tent. the ancient strains Of 'Araby' s
Daughter.
The hurdy -gurdy had done IT.

RICHMOND, VA, JULY IS, 1906.

Perhaps the best thing about your fishing
hours beside the stream is the solitude 1t is
not every day that you are so entirely alone;
idle, uninterrupted, left to your memories and
your thoughts, your new purposes and your
hopes. 1t is no waste of precious time to keep
company with yourself one afternoon. Some
things to be shaken off and left behind, some
things are to be desired and sought after. Some
new purposes are to be formed Some new re-
lations and proportions are to be assigned to
things Some higher aims are to be laid hold
of. The radiant stream flows on, and the noun
tains still point upward. When the evening
shade comes down, you go back with few fish
or without, but with some better things than
any fisherman ever caught.

1he feeling in China toward FOREIGNERS i
such as to call for serious attention ON tbe mart
ol christian nations and especially the Chris
tlah Church. Sir Robert Hart, INSPECTORS Gen-
eral OF Customs in Pekng says it is only a
question OF time when there will be q definite
movement on the part of the Chinese. and fins
wl'llln year at most, for expelling foreigners
from Chinese soil, and that in ten wears there
Will not be foreigner in that country. Rev
Howard Agnew Johnson writes of the causes
that lnclte hatred for foreigners in the minds
OF the Chinese, and gives this summary: GD
emma rs age-long policy of seclusion and there
lore exclusion; (2) the forcing of the opum
Traffic upon China by Great Britain; (3) forc,-
bic aggressions by foreign powers; !; (4) disbon-
est commercial transactions by foreigners; (5)
Americas treatment of Chinese in America
~ the rise of Japan; (S) the recent revolution
i'll the law concerning education and the civil
service. Our protection against the evidently
serious results that would ensue from sucb q
policy must be the rapid extension in that land
OF the Gospel with its power to renew the hearts
OF men and transform their lives. its precents
OF brotherly love and helpfulness and its en-
hghtenment In the knowledge of all truth.
