When Rev. Aloysius Smith went out
of his study and saw the man stand
ing in the hall he could not repress
a shudder of disgust. Broad as an
OK, with short and rather bowed legs,
still his figure was that of an Adonis
compared with his face. And the
last straw was that his name should
be Cupid.
Come in, my friend he said after
an effort. What can do for you?'
"I'm looking for a position in Little
Falls, SIR" answered Cupid respect
fully. "Tve been working as porter
In town, but my health gave out and
was told to 60 to the country. So |
came here. It was bit Of walk,
sir. l can show you good references,
in case you know Of job"
The pastor looked at the fellow
with a repugnance which he could
not conceal.
81 know my face is against me,
sir" said Cupid with q smile.
And it was astonishing how the
smile changed him. Cupid smiling
looked almost decent.
The pastor racked his brains. He
took q sudden liking to the man, and
he was resolved not to be prejudiced
against him on account Of his looks.

handy man to take care Of her garden
and pony" he said. II don't know
whether that is in your line, my
friend?"
"I was bred on a farm" answered
Cupid. Il think, sir, could manage
the Job if-if you'd see Miss Caven-
dish first and-and mention my looks,
sir"
That softened the parson complete
ly. He called up Miss Cavendish on
the telephone and broke the news as
considerably as possible. "The man
is afraid he doesn't look very prepos-
sessing, Miss Cavendish," he ex-
planned.
well, send him round and I'll Judge
for myself" answered Miss Cavendish.
And q few minutes later Cupid de-

parted. That night he returned, radi-
ant.
I've got the position, sir, and I'm
ever so grateful" he said to the pas
tor.
Miss Cavendish was a maiden lady
Of about forty years.
Sensible, though little queer
and very determined-it is a type
common In New England. Before a
month had passed it was realized that
she had got q treasure. Cupid had
been almost the round Of the town In
search of employment before he went
to the pastor. Many regretted that
they had been prejudiced against the
man on account of his appearance.
Miss Cavendish had a beau. Not
that she hadn't had heaps during the
course of her life; but somehow no
body had proved quite good enough
for Miss Cavendish. She was Of that
fine metal which won't take the rust
of life, and sooner or later all her
sweethearts had received their dis
charge. But Mr. Henry Norman was
different.
A year or two older than Miss
Cavendish. very soft-spoken, he was
the sort of man whose very iawless-
ness makes one think there may be
more wrong with him than appears on
the surface People sort Of distrust,
ed Mr.. Norman. But 1t was easy to
see that Miss Cavendish was infatu-
ated with the man. Mr.. Norman
didn't like Cupid. The two came from
the same town, and, though it was
not likely that they had ever been
closely associated, Cupid seemed to
know something to the discredit of
Mr.. Norman. At least, that was what
people surmised. Cupid never spoke
