He looked at her, a great light be
ginning TO come into his face; but she
did rot understand and turned her
head to hide the tears.
Then l am going to tell you some
thing" he said, his tone growing lower,
yet clear enough for her to hear every
word distinctly
A tall, oldish girl with a discon-
tented upper lip stalked through the
hall, glanced in at the door, and sniff
ed significantly, but they did not see
her. A short, baggy-coated man out
side lowered anxiously around the
building and passed the very window
Of that room, but the shade opposite
them was down, and they did not
know. The low, pleasant voice went
on:
Il have come to care a great deal
for you since | first saw you, and
want you to give me the right to care
for you always and protect you against
the whole world"
She looked up, wondering.
What do you mean"
Il mean that / love you, and | want
to make you my wife. Then / can de-
fly the whole world If need be, and put
you where you ought TO be"
oh" she breathed softly.
Wait. please" he pleaded, laying
his hand gently on her little, trembling
one. Don't say anything until l have
finished. l know OF course that this
will be startling to you. You have
been brought up to feel that such
things must be more carefully and de-
Hberately done. l do not want you TO
feel that this is the only way | can
help you. either. If you are not will
ing TO be my wife, / will find some
other plan. But this is the best way,
IL It isn't too hard on you, for I love
yeu as I never dreamed that I could
love a woman. The only question is,
whether you can put up with me until
I can teach you to love me little"
She lifted eloquent eyes to his face.
oh, it is not that" she stammered.

Then do not tell me anything about

have poisoned a husband, I should
know that he needed poisoning, and
any way I should love you and stand
by you

she said gravely.

further need for help
She summoned her courage now, and
spoke in a voice full of feeling.
"Oh, you must not feel that way.
You helped me Just when l did not
know what to do, and put me in the
way Of helping myself. / shall never
cease to thank you for your kindness
to an utter stranger. And now l am
doing very well" She tried to smile,
hut the tears came unbidden instead.
You poor chold!" His tone was
I'LL of something deeper than compass
sion, and his eyes spoke volumes. DO
you suppose think you are doing
well when see you wearing the garb
of meniel and working for people to
whom you are far superior-people
who by all the rights OF education and
refinement ought to be in the kitchen

Il have no doubt. You can be an
artist at serving as we'll as anything

must ask first, and l hope you will
/ trust me enough to answer it. Is there
any other-any other man who has the
right to care for you, and is unable or

She looked up at him, her large eyes
still shining with tears, and shuddered
slightly.
''Oh, no." she said. "Oh, no, ! thank

He laid an open letter in her lap,

GREAT SONS OF MINISTER'S

II is probable that ministers sons
have exerted more influence in the
United States than in any other coun-
try. Among teachers, lawyers, doc
tors, scientists, men of business and in
the church there are a great host who
have been the sons of ministers OF
the more notable men in our history
who were sons Of ministers we find in
political life Of Cleveland, Clay, Buch-
anan, Arthur Quay, Morton, Beveridge,
Hughes and Dolliver; among jurists,
Field and Brewer; among educators,
Woodrow Wilson, Faunce, James, Car
roll Lounsbury; in history and litera-
ture, Sloan, Parkman, Bancroft, En-
erson. Holmes, Henry James. Lowell,
Glider, Van Dyke; in invention and
science, Cyrus w. Field. Samuel F.
Morse and Agassiz; in the church,
Beecher Alexander, Hodge. Abbott,
Potter, Jonathan Edwards; in phil
osophy, James. In the hall of fame
ffty-one famous Americans are honor
ed. OF these ffty-one, ten are the
children of ministers-Agassiz, Beech
er, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry Clay,
Jonathan Edwards, Emerson, Lowell
More Bancroft and Holmes.-PopulaT
Science Monthly.
The above is a convincing refutation
OF the old saw that ministers sons are
bad eggs. We have also seen It in our
own town in the brilliant and conse-
Grated Dodge brothers, Witherspoon
and Richard, WHO viii upon their
graduation go out to fill honored and
useful positions in life.
DR.. C. c. Carroll, formerly pastor OF
the BAPTIST church in OcaIa and one
of the most eloquent and forceful
preachers in the south. is the son of a
minister. Also DIR. L. B. Warren, pos
