The new minister was speaking en-.
Enthusiastically, yearning to move this
lethargic people. The boy listened
with face alight. Through the long
hours of his childhood he had sat
in the sunshine and dreamed of great
deeds. With the awakened i'm.
pulses of youth, he had tramped the
forests and wondered what life meant
to the men who were not of the noun
tains. And now he knew, for the
minister was voicing the doctrine OF
endeavor. 1t was not emotion that
made the world better, but energy;
one must not only dream, but one
must do. The great men were those
who were faithful in the little things

merry" he said, finally, "but in the
year to come we must work-work
for the souls that are within the

his sheep, so must we care for those
who are astray" :
"As the shepherd cares for his

when the boy unlocked 1t.
Inside was a rude fireplace, and
wood was piled beside it. The boy
built a great fire, and the flock, re-
treating before the blaze, lay down
on the trodden straw with soft sounds
of content. Then the boy brought
in two weak ewes, and laid them
close to the flames, and watched
them anxiously until they revived and
staggered back to their fellows.
For a long time after that the boy
sat in front of the fire and thought
of the girl. She would go home with
his rival, and they would part at
the door. The boys face flushed
and his hand clenched as he thought
of the parting. Would She

flung it open. Outside the stars were
blotted out, the wind ragged and the
snow whirled. He felt as if between
him and the girl there was the bar

done his duty, and she had not un-

He went in and laid down in front
of the fire, with his great coat drawn
over him.
