Mrs. Toon rested her head against
the hard brown back of the old rock
er and closed her eyes as ii the
sight of the woman before her was
more than she could endure.
Her face was as homely and brown
as the old rocker itself. Hard, un-
yielding lines had formed a network
around the mouth and between the
cold, pale eyes that had never looked
with anything but suspicion and Sc
verify upon her daughter-in-law. who
had married her stupid son Tobia out
of gratitude for the home he had
given her. Her son, Toha. was the only
creature the hard old woman had
ever loved and whose grave lay COW
cred with a winding sheet Of snow this
Easter-tide.
The younger woman stood silently
before this august presence, nervously
clasping and unclasping her thin
white hands from which she had re-
moved her wedding ring a few hours
previously. She felt as she stood
there that she would gladly lay down
her life if she might stay just five min
utes in the little church that lay like
down the road.
She must see--her heart beat so
loud she was afraid the statue in the
motionless chair would hear it. She
took several steps toward the door
Mrs. Toon suddenly opened her eyes
and sat bolt upright
so you air goin', Sarepty?" she
said, raising her hard old voice till it

along by the wind like a thistle, she

She seemed in her somber dress like
a wrath as she sped along the desert

in the gathering gloom. When she
bad gone about a quarter of a mile
she put her hand into her bosom and
drew out bit of looking glass wrapped
in piece of paper She let her shawl
slip from her head onto her shoulders
and, turning her face toward the set
ting sun, held up the glass.
The wind caught her rich brown
hair that seemed too heavy for her
small head and blew it into little ring
lets around her pale face. Her wide
brown eyes had a hungry, frightened
look and seemed full of unshed tears
She gazed Ito the glass for several
minutes with a questioning, imploring
look. then with a sudden, desperate
movement she flung it far from her
and sped along.

sending rich, warm radiance out into
the gloom, seemed to Sarepty like the
gateway of heaven. Some of the beams
fell on the graves that clustered
around the old church, and flooded
with gold one far removed from all
the rest.
Sarepty opened the gate and almost
flew toward that golden grave. She
fell on her knees In the snow and
placed lily on the snowcovered
grave of the sleeper 4 moment later
she had entered the church.
Here's Sarepty with the lilies" ex-
claimed Mrs. Lackey, as Sarepty glided
in and stood tremblingly by the old
sheetiron stove. The lights blinded
her at first, then with returning vision
two figures alone became visible to
her. A man was standing on step
ladder looking down into the eyes or
a beautiful girl who was reaching a
trailing vine toward him.

Il visited school one day where BIZ

The democratic state convention for
the purpose of proposing delegates TO

at the Davidson theater, Milwaukee, on
Feb. 49, -Four delegates at large are
to be named at this convention and there
are many able and prominent demo

to choose them. Foremost in the list
of available candidates is p. Fl. Martin,
of Green Bay, who is the choice of this
section of the state for one of the dele

ney of recognized ability, an energetic
worker for democracy and best repre-.

John snodgrass. the president. who
is absent from the United States, be-
ing an American consul at point
in Africa
Mr.. cutright in his letter, which
has been received by large number
of local Republicans. advocates the
cooperation Of the State Central

two organizations can work har-
moniously together, very great good
can be accomplished by the subordi-
nate organization.
Mr.. Outright is now awaiting re-
plies from the leaders Of the party,
and there is little doubt but that all
of them win agree with him. In
case the concensus of opinion favors
IT, a meeting of the league will be
called by Mr.. Outright, to be held In

MORMON ELDERS ARE
IN WOOD COUNTY

On various occasions during the
past year or two elders Of the
Church of the Latter Day Saints have
visited Parkersburg and engaged in
missionary work on the street cor
ners, but as far as known they never
succeeded in making any converts.
However they are never discouraged
and they are now paying some atten-
ton to the country districts. Two Of
the elders appeared last week in the
lower end of Wood county and have
been visiting the farmers and en-
deavoring to instill the Mormon doc
trine into the minds Of the people
in that locality. but they have so far
been unsuccessful in gaining con-
verts. The men are from American
Falls, Idaho.
