down the aisle, her stiff white dress
standing straight up in the back like
a strdtting gobbler's tail. She grabbed
hold Of the mans hand, and was
promptly lifted to the table beside
the other orphans" Tears stood in
the good preachers eyes as he turned
to the tittering audience and said in
a pathetic voice, Think Of it, my
friends, this beautiful little girl has
no mother"
Poor Mrs. Black! A hundred pairs
Of eyes sought her pew and focused
themselves upon the pretty young
woman sitting there, red, angry, and
shamefaced. Mr.. Black was visibly
amused and could hardly keep from
laughing aloud.
AS Frances passed by the Hamil-
tons pew in her promenade down the
aisle, Mrs. Hamilton leaned across her
husband and made an attempt to
clutch Lima; but she was too late;
already that dignifed little orphan"
was gliding with stately, conscious
tread to join the others. This was too
much for the audience. A few boys
laughed out and for the first time
the preachers suspicious were
aroused. AS he clasped Lina's slender,
graceful little hand he asked:
And you have no father or mother,
little grip,
eyes, I have, too" she angrily re-
torted. my fathsS and mother are
sitting right there" and she pointed
a slim foreflnger to her crimson. en-
barrassed parents.

CHAPTER XIV.
Mr.. Aldermen Jones.

Again it was Monday, with the
Ladies Aid Society in session. Jimmy
was sitting on the grass in his own
front yard, in full view of Sarah Jane.
who was ironing clothes in her cabin
with strict orders to keep him at
home. Billy was in the swing in Miss
Minerva's yard.
Come on over" he invited.
"I can't" was the reply across the
fence, "rm so good now I bout got
ligion; / reckon I'm going to be a
mish'nary or a politician, one or
t'other when I'm a grown-up man
cause I'm so good; l amt got
but five whippings this week.

you 'suade me to play Injun. I'm
the coolest boy in this town, I spec.
Sometimes l get scared bout being
so good cause 1 hear a woman say
if you too good. you going to die or
you amt got no sense, once. You
come on over here; you amt trying
to be good like what I'm trying, and
Miss Minerva don't do nothing

bed"

was not occupied by its regular pas
tor, Brother Johnson. Instead, a traV-
cling minister, collecting funds for a
church orphanage in Memphis, was
the speaker for the day. Miss Miner
va rarely missed a service in her own
church. She was always on hand at
the Love Feast and the Missionary
Rally and gave literally Of her means
to every cause. She vas sitting IN
her own pew between Billy and jim
my, Mr.. and Mrs. Garner having re-
NAMED at home. Across the aisle o
her sat Frances Black, between her
father and mother; two pews IN front
Of her were Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton,
with Lima on the outside next the
aisle. The good Major was there
too; 1t was the only place he could
depend upon for seeing Miss Minerva.
The preacher, sitter an earnest and
eloquent discourse from the text, He
will remember the fatherless," closed
the big Bible with a bang calculated
to wake up any who might be sleep
ing. He came down from the pulpit
and stood close to his hearers as ne
made his last pathetic appeal.
MY own heart" said he, goes out
to every orphan child, for in the vel
low fever epidemic Of rs, when but
two years old, 1 lost both father and
mother. If there are any little orphan
children here today, I should be glad
if they would come up to the front
and shake hands with me" '.
Now Miss Minerva always faithful
ly responded to every proposal made
by a preacher; it was a part OF her
religious conviction. At REVEALS she
was ever a shining, if solemn and aus
tere. light. When a minister called
for all those who wanted to go to
Heaven to rise, she was always the
first one on her feet. If he asked
to see the raised hands Of those who
we're members Of the church at the
tender age of ten years, Miss Miner
vas thin, long arm gave a prompt re-
Spouse. Once when a celebrated
evangelist was holding a big pro-
tracted meeting under canva In the
town and had asked those who had
read the book of Hezekiah in the
Bible to stand up, Miss Minerva on
one side Of the big tent and her de-
voted lover on the other side were
among the few who had risen to their
feet. She had read the good book
from cover to cover, from Genesis to
Revelation over and over so she
thought she had read Hezekiah a
score Of times.
So now, when the preacher called
for little orphans to come forward,
she leaned down and whispered to
her nephew, go up to the front, Will
liam, and shake hands with the nice
kind preacher"
"Wha' fer?" he =sked. 81 don't want
to go up there; ev'ybody hereU look
right at me-"
Are there no little orphans here?'
the minister was saying. Il want to
| shake the hand of any little child
who has had the misfortune to lose its
parents"
60 on, William" commanded his
aunt. Go shake hands with the
preacher"
The little boy again demurred but,
Miss Minerva insisting, he obediently
slipped by her and by his chum'

Walking gracefully and jauntily up
the aisle to the spot where the lee
turer was standing by a broad table,
he held out his slim, little hand.
Jimmy looked at these proceedings
Of Billy's in establishment, not com
pretending at all. He was rather in
dignant that the older boy had not
confded in him and invited his par
t%icipation.
But Jimmy was not the to sit
calmly by. and be ignored when there
was anything doing. so he slid awk-
wardly from the bench before Miss
Minerva knew what he was up to.
Signaling Frances to follow, he swag-
gered pompously behind Billy and he,
too, held out a short, fat hand to the
minister.
The speaker smiled benignly down
upon them; lifting them up in his
arms he stood the little boys upon
! the table. He thought the touching
sight Of these innocent and tender
little orphans would empty the peck
cts Of the audience. Billy turned red
with embarrassment at his conspicu-
GUS position, while Jimmy grinned
happily at the amused congregation.
Mortified Miss Minerva half rose to
her feet, but decided to remain where
she was. She was a timid woman
and did not know what course she
ought to pursue. Besides, she had
just caught the Majors smile.
And how long have you been an
orphan" the preacher was asking Of
Billy.
Ever sence me an Wilkes Booth
Lincoln's born" sweetly responded
the child.

is,' volunteered Jimmy.
Frances, responding to the latter's
invitation, had crawled W. her faith
er's legs before he realized what was
happening. She, too, went smiling

CHAPTER XII.

The children we're sitting in the
swing. Florence Hammer, a ltt's
girl whose mother was spending tho
day at Miss Minerals, was with
them.
Don't you-all wish Santa Claus had
his birthday right now stead o wait
ing till Christmas to hang up our

the Bible and Miss Cecilia 'splained
It to me and she bout the dandiest
'splainer they Is"
(which you'all like the best: God or

asked Florence.
"I like God mother sight better'n I

Mr.. Jones. Come, show me the way;
I'm the plumber"
I'm the bath room?" asked the
child. 81 didn't know 1t needed no
fxin'."
He led the agreeable plumber
through the hall, down the long back
porch to the bath room, remark1ng:
I'll jes' watch you work" And he
seated himself in the only chair.
Here is where Billy received one OF
greatest surprises Of his life.
The fascinating stranger grabbed him
with a rough hand and Kissed:
Don't you dare open your mouth
or I'll crack your head open and scat
ter your brains. I'll eat you alive
The fierce, %bloodshot eyes, which
had seemed so laughing and merry
before, now glared into those of the
little boy as. the man took a stout cord
from his pocket, bound Billy to the
chair and gagged him with a large
bath towel. Energetic Mr.. Jones took
the key out Of the door, shook his fist
at the child, and went out. and locked
the door behind him.

White, in charge of the United States
Marine Hospital Service here, said
that he would propose TO the municipal

You didn't ask that right, Jimmy
said Lima, you always get things
wrong. The riddle is, "A man rode
across the bridge and Yet he walked
and the answer is, He had a little dog
named Yet who walked across the
BRIDGE"

me how wicked it Is to tell stories
Did you ever tell a fib to your mother,
Frances?"
""Tain't no use to try to 'ceive my

little girl; she's got such gimlet eyes
and ears she can tell with 'em shut

long ago, so I just go long and tell
her the plain gospel truth when she
