But as the service progressed the
minister realized that his fears were
groundless. And that was not all
he was keenly conscious Of the pres.
ence of the new soprano.
After service, while he stood shak-
ing hands with his departing parish
toner's. according to his usual custom.
he anticipated with unusual pleasure
his meeting with the girl who had
so graciously assisted the choir. He
was anxious to congratulate her and
thank her.
Doctor Davis" said the voice Of
Jimmie Langhorn at his side, II want
to present you to this sister Of mine.
Muriel, our rector, Doctor Davis" he
said turning to the girl. "She cried
to be allowed to sing in our choir, so
We had to let her. Mrs. Wade has

opportunity to be excused. Sis. here,

was anxious to try her WINGS" Jim
mie Langhorn joked even with the
minister.
Muriel cast an indignant glance at
her brother as her hand met that of
the minister at isn't SO. Doctor
Davis" she said with mounting color,
for the young minister's gray eyes
had not once left her face. HE and
Mrs Wade made dire threats until l
consented"

"Dont!" exclaimed Jimmie "She
is conceited enough now. between her
voice and her collection of statuary!"
"Statuary!" inquired the minister.

Langhorn, for the dainty bit I re-
ceived this morning?"
Jimmie became suddenly interested
in the arrangement of the music for
the evening service.
I'm SORRY" laughed Muriel. but

begged the minister contritely. I'm
really awfully sorry"
"Well-I'll think about It," She
cast him one glance and turned to
Jimmie. Come. brother mine. or we
won't get any dinner" She turned
again to Doctor Davis. Cant you
take dinner with us?"
Under the condition that you will

Since Muriel expected to be In Lee
only month before going to the city
TO start a concert career. Rev. DIR.
Davis lost no time In laying siege to
her heart, The minister's decisive
chin denoted that whe' he knew what
he wanted he went straight for It.

their sweetness TO some humble

Isn't Il wonderful to be blessed
with the power to help our fellow
men?" Rev. Mr.. Davis voiced this
sentiment ono evening M they walked
homo through the lanes after having
called TO see old Mrs Gaboi. who
didn't get TO church often on account
OF the distance. Muriel had sung
some OF the familiar old hymns for
her until the dear old soul had wept

and threw himself into big
chair by the window for a few
moments of quiet before beginning his
strenuous day. He heaved c sigh as
he glanced at the empty chair on the
opposite side-empty save for the
mind picture the young ministe. was
wont to draw on occasions when the
world would seem well lost for the
possession Of one particular woman
But that woman had not, as yet, ap-
peared upon the ecclesiastical heart
stone Of Rev. Mr.. Davis.
There were many fair parishioners
who would gladly have been that
fortunate maid; their inclinations,
however, were restricted to the gifts
which constantly found their way to
the rectory. The wide couch in the
rector's study was heterogeneous
collection Of sofa pillows; the walls
were lined with biblical subjects, evil
IDENTIFY considered the only art ap-
propriate for ministerial eyes. Rev.
Mr. Davis had been the recipient Of
eighteen pairs Of slippers and three
house coats.
In his turn. he sought diligently
among his flock for the girl who
might do: she apparently summed her
self in another fold, for she certainly
did not thrive in his pasture.
The choir, which weekly occupied
four seats facing the pulpit, gave
forth to the little church such quar-
tet music as 1t felt equal to. 1t was
comprised entirely Of village talent.
Jimmie Langhorn, the tenor. consid-
cred the world and all its machina-
tons a Joke; II the soprano felt a
jolt in her side when sustaining a
high G It was nothing more nor less
than Jimmie's elbow prodding her
along. The contralto was small
maiden to whom the tenor made love
during the darkness Of the sermon;
the bass singer was also the choir
master.
The soprano. a young matron. and
Jimmie Langhorn were fast friends,
and many a plot against ministerial
bachelordom was hatched between
them. 1t seemed to them shame
that so good.looking a minister should
remain bachelor
So It happened that as Rev. Mr..
Davis bemoaned the singleness OF his
own state and others bemoaned It for
him. the god Of love entered his study.
His buxom housekeeper was the liter.
al bearer. and she offered 1t to him as
n package. labeled and wrapped in
much tissue paper. Upon being un'
swathed the Easter gift proved to be
a small marble statue OF Cupid.

timer she asked with motherly in
terest. and noticing surprise on the
rector's face.
