Constable N. o. Peterson stood on
with his hands thrust deep in his
pockets, his coat collar turned up to
keep the little rain drops from form
ing a rivulet down his spinal meningi-
tbs, his hat pulled low upon his brow;
his was a pose of melancholy, not
even the Wreaths of blue smoke as
cending to give an air of life and
gaiety. Long he stood and pondered,
looking neither to the right nor to the
left; glancing not at passers-by, nor
recognizing old acquaintance. The
rain continued to fall undated.
A heavy-coated "cop," in making the
daily wander, CHANGED to notice pete,
and passed by on the other side,
though debating as to the cause of
the constable's unsocialibility. People
yet upon the countenance of the limb of
the law not the slightest indication
that he was aware of the stream of
life passing and re-passing.
Another heavy coated "cop" was on
his beat, and, being Of a more jocu-
lar makeup than his companion Of a
few moments previous, made bold to
address the constable. Receiving no
response, the latest disturber OF
"Pete's" brown study, proceeded to
pinch" the solitary individual. Still
no sign of recognition was given, and
calling a representative of the press,
the blue-coat made shift to search the
constable. Pocket after pocket-there
were many of them-gave up it's treas
ures, watch, purse, knife and other
articles, until, way down deep in an
overcoat pocket was found package
of "old Tom" and "Pete's" trusted
Brown Bess"-his pipe.
Not until the pipe was extricated
from it's position of repose did the Of
ficer manifest any interest in the pro-
ceedings, but the removal of that arti-
Gle brought him up standing in a
moment, and his popularity returned
like a flash. Eagerly waiting to see
an officer Arrested a curious throng
had gathered on the corner, and when
it turned out to be nothing but a joke,
the disappointment Of the specta tors
was keen, indeed.
ITS all right" said Peterson, ''but
when you separate me from that pipe,
just let me know about it, Thence
forth he wendell his way thoughtfully
down the street toward the court
house with the gaze of the idly curious
following.

example. one might speak of how God
talked with Adam in the garden ana how
Adam WAS ashamed and went aud hid
himself after his disobedience; suggest
ing that the reason VIC do not listen
ofieuer for Gods voice is because we
have sinncd and arc ashamed. Another

and the effect il had in making Moses
face shine Suggest that show hy our
VERY looks whether we talk with God

Perhaps you have an astronomer among
your number. or in your vicinity who

wonder of the night skies by which God
declares His glory to men. Another five
minutes might no protitably given 10

when we go into the world of nature
whether we hear the voice of God calling

perhaps then fail to notice the care with
which God has painted the lovely petals
and veined the leaves. Our ears must be

to the home of Jesus. probably after sun

three were moved by one thought to see

Jesus detected in His new visitor a man
of superior mold. destined to leadership.
All men find their places slowly. accord

at once predicted Sinons quality. and in
consequence gave him a new name. which
he would afterwtrd bear Matt. KY
