Terrifying Theology

Father Pemberton, also, had given over
most of his duties because of age. but
had been set aside rather prematurely, for
he was still active both in mind and
body.
But the young people of the parish, es-
pecially, the women had suddenly dis
younger preacher who would give them
mere searching" sermons-Father Penn
berton was getting altogether too easy on
sin and sinners
So they hired as assistant to the old
man the Rev. Joseph Belamy Stoker,
who came with an invalid wife and a self
sacrificing daughter, whose life was de-
voted to her sick mother and to the VIII
lage
He was gifted in prayer and his ser-
mons were 'rousers.'' He had three SER
mons which gave him a great reputation
among his parishioners.
They We're called "the sweating SER
MONS" the "fainting sermon and the
commissioned sermon" from the various
effects said TO have been produced by
them when delivered before large audi
erces.
But women rather take to terrible peo-
pie. Your virgin has natural instinct
to saddle your lion, and the Rev. Bel
lamy Stoker was immensely popular
among the young ladies of his congrega-
ton. while his poor, invalid wife was
mere and more neglected. and Father
Pemberton was almost completely set
aside by his vigorous and more youthful
colleague.

swept by the rapid current down to-

below little islet
In the boat was a boy who had
reached out as the skiff had been

one of the few slender bushes growing
there. He held it by the end of its
branches and 1t seemed as II every in
stant the bush would be torn from its
slight roofing by the drag upon 1t and
the boat and the boy go whirling over

II he won the suit. which had dragged
on and on, it would mean great for
tune to be added to the estate of The
deceased Malachi, who had left by Will
a small provision for Myrtle and all the

And Silence had declared that when

The Iniun Within Her

There were legends in the family also
of member of the clan who had been
prosecuted as a witch by the pious Cot
ton Mather.
Then, on her fathers side somewhere
away back but still remembered and
talked about, Myrtle had had an Indian
ancestress
All these various currents of blood, or
OF spirit, seemed TO be contending with
the staid Withers blood in Myrtle Haz-
ard.

small and far back, but it was most often
commented on among her hereditary
traits by Miss Silence and Cynthia Bad

Naming the Twins

She would give them the name OF
hopkins, she said, if Master Gridley
would suggest two other names, one
for the boy and one for the girl. In
fit of grim humor Gridley suggested
Isosceles for the male twin and Hell
mintha for the female-names with
which the widow delighted and which
she at once corrupted into Sossy and
Minty.
1t ought to be said, right here, that
when Gridley had been drawn out of
himself and humanized by the affairs
of Myrtle Hazard he repented of .his
outrage and had the twins christened
as Theodore and Cynthia Badlam-.the
reason for the latter name being
chosen, the reader will guess as the
story unfolds.
Myrtle's only girl friend in the viii
lage was Olive Eveleth, daughter of
the Episcopal clergyman, but she was
hardly intimate with her, and as to
the young men the gossips said:
She don't seem to take to none of
the boys 'zactly but pears to think
more er Cyprian Eveleth 'en any the
rest"
Cyprian was olives brother.

Byles Gridley

Byles Gridley had inherited a small
fortune and had retired to Oxbow to
end his days in quiet and study, having
the best two rooms in the second story of
the Widow Hopkins house, and settling
down into rather misanthropic If COM
Portable old age.
Hc needed something to rouse him out
of himself, and it came in the shape of
Myrtle Hazards affairs.
Among the inmates of the Hopkins es-
tablishment the two twins should not be
forgotten. The twins had been left as
very small babies on the Widows door
step 'just like couple of bakers rolls"
as she said.
They knew the kind heart of the Widow
Hopkins, who left them there. For the
foundlings were taken and cherished by
the good soul as her own.

by casting his eyes little to one side
he got pretty good idea of what was
going on behind him.
He had an instructive suspicion of
young Bradshaw and felt moved to
watch him by this his reflection in the
spectacles.
What he saw was the young man sud-
denly look sharp at a document, read it
eagerly, glance furtively at his visitor
and then take down book from the
bookcase, place the document between
its leaves and replace the volume
The book was the second volume of
the Corpus Juris Civils. a book likely
to remain unopen%l for an indefinite
length of time In any law office. Grid
ley's curiosity was excited, and he ma
neuvered to get chance to take down
that book, but unsuccessfully.
However, he had seen that the back
of the hidden document had on it three
ink spots-big blots--peculiarly disposed.
That was all.

Portraits That Smoke To Her

There We're two old portraits, upon
which she often gazed, hanging on the
walls of The Poplars.
One was of woman with a wrapt ex-
preston upon her face, no great beauty,
perhaps, but of an attractive appearance,
who showed nevertheless, facial lines be-
traying firmness, if not obstinancy of
disposition.
1t was the portrait of Ann Holyoak,
who had suffered martyrdom for her
faith over in England before the Withers
family removed to America.
Then there was the portrait of Judith
Pride, the picture of woman so evident
1y possessing what Silence Withers con-
sidered as the two great sins possible
to woman, embonpoint and great personal
beauty, that the spinster sighed and
shok her head every time she gazed
at it.
Judith Pride had been a great belle
in her day-the later colonial period-the
reigning beauty of old Boston, and there
We're times when Myrtle not only looked
remarkably like her, but felt like her.

Demanding the Paner

He said he was about to go west in
the matter of the Withers claim and
gave Into the keeping of the spinster
a document which, he said, she must
keep with her life until he called for it,
as 1t meant everything to the success of
their plans. There We're three ink spots
on the back of the cocument--this Kitty
saw by peeping.
Gridley had no doubt that 1t was the
same document which he had seen
Bradshaw abstract frcm the Withers
papers and hide in the law book. When
bradshaw had gone west Gridley one
day came to The Poplars and asked to
see Cynthia.
When they were alone in the parlor
he boldly demanded of her the paper
which Bradshaw had left in her keep
Ing. At first Cynthia denied that she
had received such a paper. Then she
acknowledged having received 1t. but
defied Gridley to make her give 1t up
Gridley wrote on a piece of paper a
certain date and six words besides and
handed it to Cynthia.

IN "The Guardian Angel Ir. Holmes
carried out an idea parallel to the idea
which he elaborated in Elsie Venner,
In the latter work he depicted the possi=
Bile effect of the introduction of an ami
NAL nature into the nature of human
being by a prenatal influence, which was
an actual, physica absorption of the pois-
on of a rattlesnake.
IN 1.-THE Guardian Angel the idea is
wholly of the effect on moral and spiritual
tendencies in a human being through
heIedity. His idea is well expressed by
a saying he puts into the mouth of Mas
ter Gridley, one of the characters in the
book:
''This body in which we journey across
the isthmus between two oceans is not
private carriage, but an omnibus"
The Guardian Angel" was first pub
lished in the Atlantic Monthly in 1861 and
its publication cost that magazine many
readers because of the manner in which
DIR. Holmes treated a gloomy and stern
theology. Few there be who would be
shocked at 1t now; but in its day THE
Guardian Angel was denounced by GER

Cheerful HYMNS

iIhey told her that this world was a
vale of tears, that all beauty and laughter
and light and gladness was sin pure and
simple, and made her sing-she was fond
of singing-such hymns as:
Eternal plaques and heavy chains,
Tormenting racks and fiery Goals
And darts inflict immortal pains.
Dyed in the blood of damned souls.
And still the willful girl could not see
the error of her ways!
From the cheerful household Myrtle had
resolved to fly. She had faint remem-
brance of that far, tropic land where she
had been born; of the great riot of sun
Light and color which had been about her
in her infancy.
From the room which had been appro-
priated to her use a great bay window
had been thrown out 1t overhung the
river, and Myrtle, as she listened to the
incessant rush of the waters below her.
had often thought that they ran to the
sea and that beyond that sea lay all
sorts of strange and brilliant lands.

Rev. Joseph Bellany as he had
watched the medical practitioner, had
a talk with Myrtle and persuaded her
that it was the spiritual ministrations
of FIR. Pemberton and not of his young
er colleague that she needed
The Rev. Joseph Bellamy was furious
-as, good man, he had right to be, es-
