THE PARSONS
TUICE By Edith
l0IEF RobinG Scott

1t was on the third night oNthe
new moon that Gerald Alton, mus
ing on his sermon in the darkness
of his study, beheld from the win
dow something white moving in the
garden.
As Allton's garden was a vegetable
garden, he thought fearfully of
something sinfully trampling on his
salads, and he rose hastily. Stand
ing just behind the window shutter
he decided, however, that a dog
would be shorter, a horse taller, and
he did not believe in ghosts.
He went into the hall, took his
hat from the rack and stepped softly
over the threshold.
As his footsteps sounded on the
gravel of the path the white object
moved from the middle of the gar
den and fled, He heard the click Of
the gate and then silence.
Hum" unused the rector, and
bent over his lettuce bed. GA thief"
he said as he Strengthened up.
The next morning a fuller inveS-
tigation showed that there had been
depredations of onions and radishes.
But the minister said nothing to his
housekeeper. Common thieves do
not come CARRIED in white, nor are
they Of slender outline and graceful
The rector had no unusual powers
Of penetration, but it had not taken

him many moments to decide that
the spoiler of his garden was a
woman.
"But Why" he debated the next
night as he finished his sermon,
"why should a woman steal-a lady,
/ am sure, by the grace of her car
riage-why should she steal my lit
tie onions and my lettuce"
But all the wisdom of the Scrip
lures did not answer his question.
And after his sermon was finished,
he again turned out his light and
sat in the darkness Of his study.
And again, as he unused, he Jaw a
patch Of white at the end Of the gar
den. Breathless he watched, and
closer and closer came the ghostly
figure, until it stood just beneath his
window.
Then a voice said 81 have come
to pay for the vegetables"
"0hp His usual readiness of
speech had forsaken the clergyman.
"Oh, ] beg your pardon"
"No, you needn't beg it" the voice
said again. 81 picked some lettuce
and things last night, and here is
the money. 1t wasn't a very con-
ventional way to go to market, but
we wanted a salad, and"
The rector, peering over the sill,
caught the sparkle in her eyes as she
made her half apology.
"You needed your salad late" he
said, dryly.
"Ah," her little laugh rippled out.
"Think of my p%redicament. Some
people came on the last train

the house but eggs. You see, l am

THE TURKISH REVOLUTION.

Turkey has long had the un. fortunate distinction of being the worst governed country on earth and the Sultan of Turkey. Abdul Hamtd the second. is generally conceded to be one of the worst types of tyrants Il at ever cursed a subject people.
 Abdul Hamid has ruled since 1876 and he ruled with an iron hand. Un- der a general system of espionage no one had any real personal liberty and the people were taxed to death without the slightest representation ID the government.
 Turkey is an unenlighteued country. Lut slowly the leaven of liberty has loen working. carefully fostered by q ht;le band of patriots. The Young "rrkS," who were instilled with the ypirit of independence and wished to see their countrymen improve their own condition. A few months ago Sne Sultan was forced to accede to the Young Turks" and grant a par. lament. Since then these young pro, greSsiveS have had the upper hand and the revolution of yesterday which CIuscd the Sultan to flee from his throne and seek refuge on a battle ship, was no doubt carefully planned and was but the natural result of rLe tyrannical reign of Abdul Hamid.
 The worm will turn and the most long suffering people will rebel when consistently bounded by cruelty and or oppression. In it's way the Turkish rebellion is as significant as the French Revolution.
